So I was on there last night talking all things The God's Honest Truth, which is my late night talk show that comes on Friday nights at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central, executive produced by Stephen Colbert, by the way. All right. And Aaron Magruder. And last night, NBA season was back, too. I didn't get to see no basketball either, man. I didn't see the Nets.

Nets lost for those, and Lakers lost last night. I heard the Nets got washed last night. I wouldn't say it was a wash. I just saw it. I saw it. 23 points? That's pretty much a washets got a wash last night. I wouldn't say it was a wash. I just saw it. A wash. 23 points? That's pretty much a wash.

Not a wash. 23 points if you lose by 23 points? It's not a wash. Kind of a wash. Does Angelina Yee watch basketball? Clearly not. I actually used to play basketball. FYI. I was a point guard.

Well, guess what? If y'all lost by 23, your coach would be very disappointed. Yeah, they lost by 23. In the girls' games, we didn't even really score. Y'all scored 23 points. Sometimes. That's hard. Sometimes. they lost by 23. In the girls' games, we didn't even really score. Y'all scored 23 points. Sometimes. That's hard. Sometimes.

Milwaukee deserves it. I love the city of Milwaukee. Sleuth to Milwaukee, man. Milwaukee holds a special place in my heart. One, because, you know, V100.7 was the first station to take a chance on Breakfast Club and syndicate us. And two, I just love the city of Milwaukee. Yeah, I love the city, too. The food's amazing.

Shout out to the Caribbean restaurant. There's a Caribbean restaurant and it's a slash, like a juice liquor spot called Concoctions. I love it. But shout out to Milwaukee. All right. Now, what else are we talking about? Restless anal syndrome. Experts are saying that COVID-19 infections

May be causing a restless anal syndrome What is restless anal syndrome? Is that like resting bitch face? Oh, so now you want COVID? Now you want COVID What is restless anal something? Syndrome Alright, well a new case report in Japan

Has established a link between What people are saying is Gastrointestinal pain that's chronic. That's a constant urge to defecate. So they are trying to do some more research to determine that link between restless anal syndrome and COVID-19. But they're saying this is a real symptom that's been happening. That's not diarrhea? Yeah, your butt just keeps pooping. Even after you go, you still feel like you have to go.

And it's a deep anal discomfort. Isn't that diarrhea? A deep anal discomfort. No, they said that it was the urge to go to the bathroom was worse at night. And then when he was resting throughout most of the day, only when he was moving or breaking a sweat, did he feel temporary relief before the sensation rushed back later, according to people. So they did conduct colonoscopies and neurological tests for reflexes in his anus,

but they could not explain why these symptoms arose weeks after his infection. And then they did find hemorrhoids. But they are saying that it's kind of like restless leg syndrome. What the hell is restless? Like when your leg falls asleep? No, you know how your leg just is always moving? I thought that was called anxiety. But they are going to be doing some more evidence.

So your butt just keeps leaking. I thought that was called being nervous. Like imagine you go to the bathroom and you defecate and then you always still feel like you have to go. We understand what you mean. Yeah. They're going to blame COVID for everything, huh? Well, they say this is another symptom.

Shout out to Destiny Forever, EJC. She actually sent me this story on Instagram. Like, make sure you report on this because Charlamagne will love it. She's right. I like the title. The title's fire. Restless Anal Syndrome. Well, the bottom line is.

That's right. The bottom line is what? What's the bottom line? All right. And Facebook is planning to rebrand the company. They're going to get a new name. And Facebook is planning to rebrand the company. They're going to get a new name and they're going to announce that next week.

They're going to be focusing on not just being a social media company, but their ambitions have expanded. And they're saying right now they are trying to make sure they build up more public trust.

And also, it's just, that's not all they do. They don't want to be associated as just a social media company. They want to be a metaverse company. What does that mean? It's just bigger than just one thing. It's universal. It's not all they do. They don't want to be associated as just a social media company. They want to be a metaverse company. What does that mean?

It's just bigger than just one thing. It's universal. It's all over. So they're going to actually unveil this at the company's annual Connect conference on October 28th. What are those other things? Well, you know, they own a lot of other things like WhatsApp, Oculus, and more. So there's more that they do besides just Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Oculus. They have a lot of different companies underneath them. So they're a

tech giant. It's not just social media. I wonder if they start calling themselves something else. Like if they say that they're a network, will that prompt the government to start regulating them in a real way? Because once you start calling yourself an actual network, then you're

admitting that you're broadcasting things, right? All right. Well, I guess. And, you know, they do have a lot of shows on there, too. Facebook Watch. A lot of different programming. All right. Well, that is your Front Page News.

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.

he is going to be denied bond. We'll give you more details. Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. Well, it looks like Wendy Williams will not be returning to her show until at least November. Wow.

Yeah, so it looks like she's still going through whatever sickness, and I know complications from Graves' disease, a thyroid condition. So, yeah, she's not back until then. But they have announced some more guest hosts. Sherri Shepherd is going to be a special guest host from November 1st to the 5th. And Whitney Cummings will be guest hosting October 25th to the 9th. Now, Whitney Cummings posted, Nobody can ever replace Wendy, but we will do whatever we can to fill in

so she can come back stronger than ever. She's gone so hard for so long, and as much as I miss seeing her every day, just imagine how hilarious she's going to be after some time to take care of herself and have some quiet time to think. Sherri Shepherd also posted that she will be guest hosting, too. We got to continue to send uh wendy williams healing energy she might as well take the whole year off though like why you can't you can't rush your health you know what i mean not for no tv show all right sherry

shepherd in the press release stated i had such a great time when i hosted the show in 2019 and i'm flattered that wendy and the producers put their trust in me to fill in again i'm sending my love and well wishes to her all right right. Young boy never broke again. He was allegedly involved in a fight while he was in jail and prosecutors are using that to deny him bond. According to a recent report that regards his detailed post-release plan, they're using that one incident that reportedly happened to justify keeping him locked up for such a long time. They argued that he cannot stay out of fights. Prosecutor Will Morris even said that his pattern of behavior is disturbing.

And it was confirmed that the feds were using the name Operation Never Free Again to describe the sting takedown of young boy. I would think in jail, though, like, you know, I mean, if somebody walks with you and swings on you, you should be allowed to defend yourself. Now, if you started the fight, that's different. But if you're defending yourself. Yeah, and I'm sure everybody's trying to test him in jail. That's what I'm saying.

Like, what are you supposed to do? Yeah, and, you know, they're proposing when he gets released that he'll relocate to Utah, which I think that could be really good for him, right? And what they are saying is that there's a tutor, one of his childhood tutors that lives there. He purchased a residence in that lives there. He purchased a residence in North Utah recently. He reportedly stayed with her extended family throughout the

past decade while remaining out of trouble whenever he's there. And I think that could be a positive thing because sometimes you got to take people out of the environment where things can provoke you and put them someplace else. He's such a young man. You really want to rehab somebody, right? Right. He's such a young man. You really want to rehab somebody, right? Right. He's such a young man. That's why you got to give people the chance to grow, give people the chance to evolve. How old is he?

21. God, come on. You know, I did have that chance to really go to his grandparents' house and talk to him and to have some off-camera conversations. And so I do feel particularly empathetic to him and what he's been through. So much love to NBA young boy. And after he's held accountable for whatever he's in jail for and he pays his debt to society,

he should be allowed to come out and go live a great life. Get a man a chance to grow. What is he in jail for? Do we even know? I forgot. Weapons and drug charges. Weapons and drug charges. All right.

Now let's talk about Cardi B. She is pleading not guilty to assault charges, and she could face four years in prison. She had been offered the chance to plead guilty to third-degree assault. That would be in exchange for a conditional discharge, but she has decided that she is going to plead not guilty. They always tell us, a lot of lawyers have come up here and told us, if you didn't do something, don't

just plead guilty to a lesser charge because that could potentially a conditional discharge lead to any little thing that happens could land her behind bars. So I'm sure she feels like she can fight this. But not only that, that opens up the civil case. So if she pleads guilty to that, then that civil case gets opened wide up. And that's a lot

easier than a court case. But if you're found not guilty to assault charges, somebody can't still bring a civil case? They can still sue you, yeah. But it's a lot easier if you plead guilty, though. Okay. So she posted, no one ever notices when you're being provoked.

Just when you retaliate. She also posted, they want to see a bad bitch do bad. And a lot of people have been, you know, testing her on social media as well. Now, Poo Shiesty is asking a judge to stop feds from presenting evidence of past crimes from when he was only 11 years old at his trial so the first is an assault case that happened when he was 14 the other is a robbery case that occurred when he was only 11 in the sixth grade and his team is saying that

you shouldn't show those things at the trial all right these actions have no direct nexus to pooh shiesty other than in speculation they're saying um you know he was arrested in june for his alleged involvement in the shooting and robbery of two men in october of 2020 in miami the federal charges he's facing include discharging a firearm during a violent crime conspiracy and hobbs act robbery if convicted he's facing a possible maximum sentence of life in prison. Damn. So what are they trying to say? He got a history of violence or something like that? Yeah, but I think, I mean, 11 years old when you're a child,

should you be allowed to present that now? In the 6th grade? Something you did in 6th grade? I don't know. In my mind, no, but I don't know. I don't know how the law works. It sounds to me like they're just trying to paint a history of him being violent and saying that I guess he hasn't rehabilitated or changed. I don't know. All right. And that is your rumor report.

Such a nice all these kids be so nice when you meet. I call him a kid. Yeah. He's a young man. Be so nice when you meet them. Like, I don't think it's hard. I don't know, man. I just know that, you know, we all start someplace. And I couldn't even imagine being that young with that kind of money in the mindset I had when I was 20-something years old. Correct. You know what I mean?

That's when you would hope your OGs and your older family members can, you know, put their arm around you and try to guide you the right way. Hey, we all had that. It's not like we didn't have that growing up. But, you know, you still end up doing stupid things. But I just know that, you know, that man has a long life ahead of him. Pooh Shites, the NBA young boy, all of them. So I would hate to see any of them have to go to jail for life for 20 years or 30 years

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.

Now, what else we got, Yeezy? Well, Squid Game Halloween costumes are topping internet searches, so everybody wants to be a character from Squid Game. I kind of was thinking I'd like to be the red light, green light, one, two, three doll. Yeah, the doll that turns around. And then maybe you guys can come dressed in jumpsuits and I can shoot y'all.

We've been, well, a lot of those people survived. You haven't seen the show. Yes, I did. A lot of them died. That was like the first episode. But we would be the ones that survived. Yes, we would. Yeah, we would definitely be the ones that survived.

Easily. All right, now let's talk about Donald Trump. He made a statement about Colin Powell's passing. Instead of just saying rest in peace or nothing at all, he posted, Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the fake news media.

Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic rhino, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace. What is wrong with him? Nothing.

The man just died. He keeps that same energy. He does. You sound like a lot of rappers I know. I've heard that word as well. Just shut up and don't say nothing. I've heard rappers say, if you was my opp alive, you my opp dead. It's distasteful to me, but that's who he is.

All right. Now, there is early November approval expected for the Pfizer vaccine for children age 5 to 11. And in New York, officials are pushing forward on planning to vaccinate children once they're approved. And right now, they want schools to become alternate vaccination sites due to fears of an impending rush on pediatricians. So they're saying about 1.5 million children in the state will be eligible to get that vaccine. And the governor is saying that with parental permission slip for parents, they will encourage them to make appointments now for early to mid-November. So age 5 to 11. I know that scares y'all with your kids as far as that vaccination being available in early November, right?

It does, yeah. I just don't know how it affects the kids as yet. I don't know if they tested enough kids and seen the results for kids as yet. I know they have for adults, so yeah, it definitely makes me nervous. All right, and a gang in Haiti won $17 million in ransom

for 17 American and Canadian missionaries who have been kidnapped. They're asking for a million dollars each for their release. It's 16 American citizens and one Canadian. They were actually there visiting an orphanage and that abduction is part of a wave of

indiscriminate kidnappings. It's become more brazen. The country is suffering from political instability, civil unrest, lack of quality health care, and severe poverty. So we are praying for their safe return. The abducted group is made out of five men, seven women, and five children. The kids include an eight-month-old baby and kids aged 3, 6, 13, and 15 years old. The ages of the adults range from 18 to 48.

Oh, man. Mel Robbins, international bestselling author. She had a book called The Five Second Rule. Some of y'all own it, I'm sure.

And now she has a new book called The High Five Habit, where she's saying that you can take control of your life with one simple habit. And I cannot wait for her to tell us what that habit is.

We have a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. We have author Mel Robbins. Welcome. Wow, thank you. And motivational speaker and a host of others.

Yes, a lot of things. How are you doing this morning? And welcome to the show. Well, I'm super excited. We got so much to talk about, and I cannot wait to just get into it all. Well, who is Mel Robbins for the folks that don't know? I'm somebody that screwed up a lot in life. Ooh. Yeah, I tend to come by wisdom the hard way. Okay.

By either digging a hole or falling into one, and then needing a ladder and having to build it myself. Well, those are the kind of people I like to listen to. I like to listen to people who've actually had experiences that they can speak on, whether those experiences are so-called good or so-called bad, because I don't believe in either. I just believe life is a process. Yeah, I think life is like the hardest

and most incredible school you'll ever attend. And everything is a lesson. And, you know, I kind and everything is a lesson and uh you know i kind of came into writing books and being a motivational speaker because i have had so many struggles just like everybody else like i don't think anybody gets to being an adult in life and not experiencing some kind of trauma or abuse or whatever it's hot in here we didn't pay the ac bill well i'm also 53 i could be like everybody's mother. And so I'm having a little hot flash. It's hot in here, right? Yeah, I don't know how old you think we are, but you'd have been a very, very young mother.

My mom was a very young mom, too. But no, so I have had a lifelong struggle with anxiety, which is one of the reasons why i'm so excited to talk to you guys and uh i have these two books that uh became instant bestsellers because i just have this crazy knack of taking really complicated stuff and coming up with really almost simple cheesy ways to explain things that are memorable that anybody can use uh with any level of education or no education at all to attack issues like anxiety depression ptsd uh procrastination and that's been my gift let's talk about the high five habit yes take control of your life with one simple habit. What is that habit? Okay, so first I got to tell you. Okay.

This is going to sound like the stupidest thing you've ever heard. This is the most powerful thing I have ever discovered in my entire life. And it unpacks decades of research in psychology, in human behavior and habits. It's insane. Basically, you're going to stand in front of the mirror every morning right after you brush your teeth and i want you to do it after you brush your teeth because we know based on research that your brain learns uh new habits when you stack it with an old habit now i want to teach you using science how to get all of the gunk out of your mind body and spirit spirit and i'm talking generational here okay so as you stand in front of the mirror you're

going to put your toothbrush down and you're going to look in the mirror that's step one now this is the hardest part for most people and i actually read the interview that you said uh when when you announced the mental wealth alliance there was an was an article that was written about you in Forbes. And there was a quote there that I loved because this is what the high-five habit is all about. You were talking about the fact, about how the black community had been impacted by the pandemic. And you said, I've never had more people call me,

FaceTime me or text me saying, yo bro, I'm ready to talk to somebody. Everybody's sitting at home and having to deal with themselves all the time. And there's a lot of people who are just seeing themselves for the first time and they may not necessarily like what they see. The fact of the matter is 50% or more of men and women can't even look at themselves in the mirror. That's right.

Because they do not like the person that they see and the reason why they don't like themselves is so sad they either like every morning in the mirror when you simply stand there and you look at yourself in the mirror you're not alone and that's not your reflection i believe you're in that bathroom with another human being and that human being needs you they are trying their best they have been trying so hard they are so sick and tired of being picked apart they're tired of your negativity they are tired of your self-doubt they're tired of being beaten down by you and the reason why most people cannot even look at themselves in the mirror is because if

you're a human being you have a past that is filled with all kinds of crap there's not a human being that hasn't experienced some level of trauma i know in grand rapids michigan i'm from muskegon michigan they just uh the the officials there just actually said that racism is the leading mental health crisis thankfully people are starting to talk about this and so you've either experienced trauma or abuse or neglect or abandonment or and you drag that into the bathroom every morning and it stands between you and the human being in the mirror and and there's so many people that think that they are not worthy or that they are damaged or not lovable because of what they've

survived that's right that's right or if you're human you've done a lot of stuff that you regret you've cheated you've lied you've you've you've hurt other people you've hurt yourself you've squandered opportunity you've stolen stuff i mean everybody has stuff they've regret stuff that they would forgive all of us for but you stand in judgment of the human being that's right in the mirror, number one, you may find it super challenging just to do the part where you look in the mirror. But what I want you to do is I want you to then raise your hand, as cheesy as it sounds, I want you to high-five the human being you see.

And what's incredible about this simple habit is that, number one, you have high-fived other people your whole life. So, Charlemagne, when you high-five somebody, what does the gesture itself mean? I'm greeting them, want them to be seen, want them to feel seen, want them to know that I recognize them. What do you think when you high-five me? I recognize them. I respect them. I have a love for them.

Yeah. That's what you feel? Yeah. And congratulations on something that you've accomplished and you're acknowledging them. Yeah. Yeah. That's what you feel. Yeah. And maybe it's like congratulations on something that you accomplished. They've accomplished and you're acknowledging that. Yeah. Now here's this. This is where the high five habit gets bananas.

Since you have been high fiving and receiving high fives from tons of people your whole life, your mind, body, and spirit is already programmed with the messaging of a high five. There is a neural association with the messaging of a high five there is neural association with the physical trigger of doing this so when you go to high five yourself no matter how weird it feels or resistant you are to it your brain turns all that judgment off and it picks up the neural association with a lifetime of high five and receiving high fives you have never once thought envy i hate you as you high five somebody. You've never once thought,

you loser, I hope you lose, today's going to be, you've never, ever, ever done it. Unless you're like, you got to be one of the most

fakest backstabbing people in the world to do something. I don't even think anybody can do it. I don't think you can do a high five at somebody. Yeah, because here's the thing,

like you literally, like if you and I high five right now, if we high five right now, right, if we have five right now, right. If we have five right now, I'll reach over. Yes.

I feel like I should receive something. Yes. You have to just one. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Your brain doesn't know the difference between me high fiving envy or Angela or you or me high five myself.

So that, that feeling that you just got, that's dopamine. Your brain gives you a drip of dopamine every morning when you high five yourself. that that feeling that you just got that's dopamine your brain gives you a drip of dopamine every morning when you high five yourself that celebratory yeah yeah yeah that's your nervous system programming your nervous system remembers celebratory gestures of waving hello of hugging there is so much freaking research about the high five so they studied nba teams okay there's this huge article in the Wall Street Journal in 2011

where they studied NBA teams, and researchers were able to predict who were going to be the best-performing teams at the end of the season by looking at one habit during the preseason. And the habit they studied was, how many times did the team give each other pats on the back or fist bumps or high fives

during the preseason what about pats on the butt oh sure that works too okay absolutely that feels really good and so uh what happens is when you give somebody a high five or a fist bump or a pat on the butt these build trust and partnership and so the teams that do that the most in the preseason go on to have the winning as seasons the teams that do it the least actually do the worst because you've got a bunch of players that are in it for themselves we should do it more as a community yes and yourself you should do it you should start by doing it to yourself i'll tell you why because we are all looking outside ourselves for the validation love respect support that we need and we need for ourselves for our children to teach ourselves to be able to stand in front of the mirror

and give that same validation support self-worth and love to ourselves because if you learn how to like respect forgive support yourself yeah it sucks when somebody else doesn't like you. But it won't change the fact that you like yourself. We have more with Mel Robbins when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Mel Robbins, author, motivational speaker. How did you learn all of this? How did you learn to give yourself a high five? How did you learn to give yourself a high five? How did you learn to talk to yourself? How did you get to that point? And to your credit, from what you said earlier, you've been through a lot.

Yes. Well, everybody's been through a lot. Everybody's been through a lot. Some people, I mean, bankruptcy is a really difficult thing. And finances can be crushing for a person. Yes. So I'll tell you the story about what I call the five second rule and being almost a million dollars in debt and about to lose everything in 2008.

But how I discovered the high five habit was, you know, I used to be a daytime syndicated talk show host and I lost that dream job on March 10th in 2020 when they found COVID at CBS Broadcast Center. And they walked in and said, show's over, you're fired, five minutes to evacuate the building. Wow. And so I find myself back home, just like everybody else. My whole life turned upside down in an instant. The kids have their college experience imploded we're now all quarantining back at home every single speech i have for a year cancels

and i find myself in a freefall and this is before the ppp loans come out and you know we're all in quarantines kids are in breakdown anxiety's coming back and i'm having flashbacks to 2008 where my husband and i were losing everything and uh i wake up one morning with a very familiar feeling of just feeling overwhelmed by my life and feeling the anxiety pinning me down in that bed like a gravity blanket and i know not to lay in that bed and i'll tell you the story about the five second rule in a minute because you definitely want to know this when it comes to mental health. So I count backwards, five, four, three, two, one. I get out of bed.

I drag myself to the bathroom and I'm standing there in the bathroom and I literally catch a glimpse of my reflection. I think, oh, my God, you look like hell. And then I start picking apart the woman I see in the mirror. The dark circles under my eye one boob hanging lower than the other i start thinking about my day and it's negative you got eight minutes to get on zoom you you know how you get you didn't return that call how are you going to get out of this met that's a beat down the beat this is how most people start their day yeah even though you should have gave yourself so much grace yeah no no just be it's a habit like that's

what folks don't understand is that you're not broken you have patterns of thinking and patterns of behavior that make you feel broken and the good news is if you understand it's a pattern you can catch it and break it and so i don't know what came over me envy because i'm not a cheesy person and it sounds pathetic you're standing there in your underwear in your bathroom you know and if you had walked into the bathroom that morning or you had walked into the bathroom that morning i would have been able to spin on a dime and pick you up i would have been able to say angela i know this is not fair but if anybody can handle this it's you i don't believe you'd

have done that with random strangers just walking in your bathroom i don't think that would have been your mindset if you have so you're the most positive person ever yeah and so uh uh i don't know what i actually think it was divine intervention i really do because i literally just raised my hand without even thinking about it and high five the woman in the mirror because she needed it and i laughed the second my hand hit the mirror because it's so cheesy and i felt like all right come on you got a roof over your head it's not that bad get your ass out there like that was kind of the mood it was the second morning the second morning is when it hit me you know you know that feeling when you're about to walk into a bar or cafe and you're going to see somebody you really like what do you feel in that moment right before you're about to walk in uh excited butterfly yeah i felt that about the idea of seeing myself wow what just hit you um i guess gratitude you know like um i always try to have a

i mean worthiness is a tricky thing right yeah but i think the first step to worthiness is just having gratitude and like you know bishop td jakes told me something one time he said even if you don't feel like you're worthy god knows you're worthy so waking up in the morning and just know that i'm still here still alive god has some type of plan for me yeah and and you know you asked the question about you know the the five second rule i should explain this really quickly because this is what helped me actually interrupt all the patterns that caused anxiety. Stop taking medication, get control of my mindset. And literally, I have situational anxiety.

I never have general anxiety anymore ever because I understand it now. So I invented something called the five second rule in 2008. And at the time, my husband had gone into the restaurant business. He had a pizza joint outside of Boston, Massachusetts with his best friend. And the first one did really, really well. So like complete idiots, we cashed out our entire life savings, the kids' college fund. We took out a home equity line because that's free money, right? What could possibly go wrong in the restaurant business?

And what went wrong is the second location was a total disaster. And all of a sudden, we found ourselves $800,000 in debt, three kids under the age of 10, credit cards maxed out. I lost my job. Liens hit the house. I, of course, face these problems like a high-functioning adult, and that is by drinking myself into the ground and screaming at my husband whenever you say that give me just a little anxiety make sure you make the right investments don't lord have mercy yeah and so i was waking up every morning pinned to bed with anxiety and i became a person i didn't recognize. Like, I was drunk by 5 o'clock in the afternoon. I was angry all the time.

I would lie in bed in the morning and stare at the ceiling, just pinned with anxiety. I felt like the world's worst mom, the worst wife, a huge failure. The kids were missing the bus every day. So I invented this crazy thing in desperation. There is a five- second window that defines your whole life it's a moment of hesitation inside this window is the difference between confidence and doubt courage and fear inspiration and procrastination if you can teach yourself to move within this five second window you win and. And in this moment, this rock bottom moment, God,

I swear to God, help me create. I get so like, just when you guys hear what has happened with the five second rule and now the high five habit, there is no other explanation for this. I remembered, Mel, you got to launch yourself out of bed. And then I started thinking about doing it. And I started thinking, what good is it going to do? I don't care. I don't feel like it. It's dark. It's cold. I'm 800 grand in debt. How's this going to help? And then I just started counting. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

And all of a sudden I stood up. And I used it the next morning. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And the next morning. And the next morning. And then I started using it any moment. I knew what I should do, but I didn't feel like doing it.

I counted backwards. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. When you count backwards five four three two one it's what researchers call a starting ritual it interrupts all the habits stored in your basal ganglia habit loops like procrastination anxiety worry self-doubt and the counting backwards five four three two one requires focus so as you start to focus on the counting five four three two one your prefrontal cortex engages on the counting this is the part of the brain that gives you immediate control over what you think and do next this is the part of the brain that you're using

when you're doing any kind of strategic thinking when you're learning new behavior this is the part of the brain that helps you change so when you count backwards five four three two one by the time you get to one you've got a moment where you can take control this is what actually led me into the business of writing books and being a motivational speaker it was literally not something i set out to do but i believe god was like this crazy lady is the one that's going to get this out in the world. This amazingly normal lady. Not crazy. That's true.

But I meant like in a good way. Yes. And so I first mentioned it in a TEDx talk in 2011. It's now got 28 million views. That's what started the speaking career. And so many people started writing about the five second rule i despite my dyslexia and adhd wrote a book about it it uh it self published it went on to sell two million copies be translated into 36 languages and thank you but

here's the most important part the five second rule is now being used by pediatricians around the world to help kids with anxiety. It's being used by veterans organizations to help people program triggers associated with PTSD. And we know of more than 111 people who have stopped themselves from attempting suicide by counting backwards 5, 4,

3, 2, 1 and asking for help. Alright, well don't move. We got more with Mel Robbins when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Mel Robbins, author, motivational speaker. Now, Charlamagne.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you think having a comfort zone is problematic? I think that your comfort zone is problematic if you stay in it because you're afraid to grow. I think human beings are designed to grow their entire life. Your cells regenerate every seven years. Your brain's constantly changing.

Heck, we just talked about how the filter in your mind can change. And if you are comfortable and not, if you're comfortable and happy, fabulous. But if you're comfortable and you're not satisfied or you're not happy, that's a problem, yes. One thing I will say that I related to is wanting something really bad is terrifying. Yes. When you really, really want something, sometimes it's scary to even just admit it.

Well, one of the things that I like to do, everybody has a morning routine. Mine obviously involves the five second rule five four three two one get out of bed i also don't look at my phone for the first 30 minutes of the day because um well first thing i do well i'll tell you why you don't want to do that because how many like let's take i you know how many people like let's say you've got i don't know a million people on facebook okay that follow you would you want all of them to walk into your bedroom to your point do you want a straight you know that's what you're got, I don't know, a million people on Facebook, okay, that follow you. Would you want all of them to walk into your bedroom? To your point, do you want a straight, you know, that's what you're doing when you look at your phone.

I wake up and I pray, I meditate, set my intention. Now, the first thing I do is look at my phone because I have to make sure there's no changes in the schedule at work. I'm like, let me just make sure. No way. I would not do that, and let me tell you why. I do it every morning. Because you're putting all of that before what matters to you. And so if you were to literally try it tonight,

take your phone and plug it in in your bathroom or your closet. Do not even have it next to your bed. And if you need to be reached in the middle of the night, tell people to call you and not text you. Because what's interesting about work and what's interesting about family is people will text you all night long. They will not call you unless it's an emergency that way you're reachable then when the alarm goes off presumably it's on your phone you're now can't lay in bed you got to get up to go to the phone to turn it

off so you sort of set yourself up to have to get out of bed not lay there and think about things and worry which is where a lot of people have anxiety cortisol levels are very high in the morning you turn off your and then put it face over and walk away from it. Take the first 30 minutes for you. Your dreams, you, you deserve 30 minutes.

Even five minutes. I do that on the weekend. I don't know about during the week. But I also don't wake up from my phone. Like if anybody texts me or calls me, I will not wake up

until my alarm goes off in the morning or right before my alarm goes off. So I never know if something important happened. I just want you to try it. Give me five minutes. Put yourself first

before the world comes in. I can't do that. I do five minutes. What happens is I wake up. First of all, I don't need an alarm to wake up anymore. My body wakes me up at 4.30 a.m. every morning. That is amazing. What I do is I have

five kids. So my daughter who goes to NYU, I make sure she texts me if she's arriving back at her apartment or she's going somewhere. So that's the first thing I check to make sure that she's safe. The first thing, boop, I text. Dad, I made it back safe. I do the same thing with my daughter in L.A. Then I can go

on with my day. Then I can go take my shower. I do my prayer. I kiss my wife. I go kiss my kids. Then the first thing I have to do, and this is I learned from my dad, is the first thing I have to make sure my family is safe. That's the first thing I do regardless. Check that text. Yeah. I won't look at social media. So how do you

go to sleep then? What do you mean? How do you go to sleep if she hasn't texted you back? If I sent the text to my daughter and she wasn't in yet, it would be hard for me to sleep. I wouldn't be able to lay down. I do have a problem. Well, that's my problem. I don't sleep, but if I do fall asleep

or something happens, let's say my daughter is out studying or something like that, I won't sleep. It's difficult for me to sleep and I'm always waiting for that phone to ring because I'm waiting for her

to be like, hey, dad, I'm safe. That's my difficult part. So then when I see that text, whether it's my mother or it's my father or somebody that's traveling, I see that text and then I can get up from my day. But that then when I see that text, whether it's my mother or it's my father or somebody that's traveling, I see that text, then I can get up for my day.

But that's what I have to do. And then I'm like, the second thing I look at is the show. Charlamagne's not coming in today. Yee's not broadcasting. That means I'm broadcasting from home. That means, you know what? I'm closing my eyes for another hour. So that's the second thing.

Then when I see that email out there, then I can. I'm realizing this show is not a priority in my life. Because I get up and I thank God. And I give gratitude and I meditate. Then I kiss my family. I don't talk to them until like 5.30. When I'm close to work driving, I might look at my texts or something like that. Yeah, I can't look at this.

I have to put everything. I have to get my mind straight. I got it. And then I always write down five things that I want in the morning. Right. As another way to train my mind to just focus on the things that I desire, that I want, to allow myself to dream, to give myself permission to want those things. And here's the thing, though, is that I don't think that your dreams are necessarily meant to be achieved.

I think your dreams have this purpose of being a beacon out in front of you that pull you through your fear and your anxiety and your circumstances to be greater than you are right now. Well Mel, we appreciate you for joining us this evening. Do you think you got a bad rap? I mean not a bad rap, a bad shake

with your TV show? I think that again at the very beginning we said that life is the hardest and most amazing school year I've? No, I think that, again, at the very beginning, we said that life is the hardest and most amazing school year I've ever attended. And I think absolutely everything is preparing you for what's coming next. And it had always been a dream of mine

to do a daytime syndicated talk show that really gave people, like you guys are, tools, not only entertainment, but tools and life changing information that can help somebody really take control or improve their lives. And I learned a tremendous amount. It was a tremendous gift and it prepared me for what's coming next. I'm actually happy it's over because I love audio more. I like, I'm a digital entrepreneur. You can reach more people that way. You have more creative freedom.

And so I learned a massive amount. But it was just preparing me for what came next. You see the opportunity. You see the opportunity. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. All right. You with the right guy if you care about audio.

My guy, Mark. Yes. Yes. And it's Mel Robbins. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Sexy for a month. No, you're not. Huh? it's the breakfast club good morning sexy for a month huh you don't think i'm too sexy for how you be looking at me sir sir sir sir simmer down sir you're married sir morning everybody it's dj i know you got restless butt syndrome your butt is bored simmer down sir we are the Breakfast Club. Good morning!

Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk to Dr. Dre. 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. All right. Well, a source with direct knowledge told TMZ that Dr. Dre was at a cemetery in L.A. on Monday. He was actually, his grandmother passed away. He was laying her to rest. And allegedly, he was confronted by a process server with some divorce documents. So they said he recoiled in anger, wouldn't take the documents in hand. The process server then dropped the documents by the grave site.

And they said they were dropped in the parking lot, though. I mom because behind the scenes Angelina said that I thought you said dr. J no I'm the jury and in my mind I thought how old is dr. J's grandma no boy yeah but they got a certain somewhere they got a certain way a place where he is you got a thing about it dr. Dre is not out and about it's not like you won't catch him in a very true so I mean the only place where they could catch him. Man, that's sad, though. The burial for his grandmother? I don't know. Business is business.

I would feel terrible having to do that. I mean, I'm not saying the person didn't feel terrible, but they still got a job to do. Yeah, she pays the service, and the service, they do what they got to do to make sure that they get those documents to him. And he has to grab those. He has to take those documents from him.

And if you don't take them in your hand. You know what's so funny? It just made me think. I saw somebody getting served outside the building one day who got served wax yes charlamagne's boy i was walking outside they tried to serve me one time outside and they tried to serve him and he like spun around and then they fell on the papers fell on the floor and then somebody's like you need to pick those off the floor it has your personal information on him you can't just leave him there like that would you drop him at the gravesite if you was the person?

No. Because if you drop it on the floor, then you're not served, right? If they test your hands, you are. If they test your hands? Yes, like the paperwork. If they give you the paperwork and you touch your hand, you see what it is and drop it. Oh, got you, got you, got you. You got served.

Man, I haven't been served at all. It's just a terrible feeling to have to go through that. But yeah. All right. Now, Little Yachty, congratulations to him. According to sources, he is a father for the first time. They're saying the baby was born, a baby girl, in the last couple of weeks in New York City. So congratulations.

Yeah, congrats to him. Congrats to Yachty. Moot to Yachty. All right. Now, according to more sources, Busta Rhymes, five rappers turned down offers to battle him on Versus. Crazy Legs from Rocksteady Crew wrote it on Instagram. He said, I had to let Busta Rhymes know that no one is worthy enough to battle

him. Then he told me that five people already turned it down. Some things are just what they are. He has the unfortunate pleasure of being a god in the rap game. Shout out to Swizz. Who could battle Busta Rhymes? Only one I would see is Missy. Have them both go back and forth with the videos.

I was thinking about this yesterday when I saw that story. Definitely Missy would be dope, but they would have to play videos and music. Videos and music, yeah. I think LL would be a good one, too, with Busta. I wanted to see LL and KRS-One, but... LL Cool J versus Busta Rhymes would be damn good. What about Busta Rhymes? Kind of different generations, though. What about versus Q-Tip? Kind of different generation though. What about

versus Q-Tip? No. That's not. I mean, just catalog like. No. They got Tribe Called Quest. Yeah.

That's too different. No, that's, and they all, they from the same family. So Raekwon and Ghostface did it? Yeah,

that's true, but no, not Q-Tip, Busta. That's two totally different styles of music. Huh. All right.

I think LL could. LL and Busta would be fantastic. LL damn sure got enough catalog. I gotta keep thinking about that. I wanna know who turned him down. Everybody. I wanna know who the five people are though that he says turned him down. You know T.I. said no.

Alright now Kanye has been spotted out and about wearing these weird masks. I don't know if you guys have seen it. I did. But it's a prosthetic mask. And so I don't know. Can't wait to see what he's going to do for Halloween. But I guess that's just a way of it.

And people know it's him. But I guess, I don't know. Why are you trying to make the mange popular, too? I've seen the haircut. What's that about? I don't know what that is. Dropping a clue for Kanye. But they said the mask is from an old

French movie villain called Fantomas. Kanye does what he wants, man. I respect it. That's his name. Officially, he's changed his name to Ye. Don't call him Kanye no more. It's gonna be hard to do. Ye. All right.

Ye has also broken a record. He has, because of Lil Nas X's Industry Baby, he has produced five Hot 100 number one hip-hop songs. The most of all hip-hop producers. You know who's done four? Diddy. So now because of Industry Baby, he has five. So congratulations to Ye.

Kanye, he didn't produce Industry Baby, did he? I thought Jetson made it produce Industry Baby. Well, according to this, Kanye has broken all kinds of records and that is his fifth maybe got a production credit maybe he sampled something jetson jetson made it made uh and that's what's wrong with jack harlow and lord knox x right that's just one number one i mean look it just says that's south carolina's own jetson made it well sometimes people don't do things alone either they collaborate and produce together i've never heard about kanye being a part of that record, ever. Alright, well, it's...

Hit drama. Get drama on the phone. It says here, Industry Baby is the first track Ye has produced to go number one since Stronger in 2007. Get drama on the phone. He might have did the drums on it or something like that, co-produced. Alright, now speaking of music, Kawhi Leonard has shared a video for his

Culture Jam project, and he was actually talking to NLE Chapa on FaceTime. Here's what he said. What's good? What's goody? Yo, what's going on, man? Not much in the studio over here. Trying to be like y'all since I'm hurt. Hey, I want to say I appreciate you for having me a part of the project. Nah, nah. Thank you. You know what I mean? Thank you for having me a part in the project. Nah, nah.

Thank you. You know what I mean? Thank you for being a part of it. For real. That's crazy. We were just talking about you the other day. They were like, man, that's ****. Kawhi ain't got no personality.

You don't know me? That's funny. Well, Kawhi has revealed Culture Jam Volume 1 will be released in two parts. The first part is coming out this Friday. And there's appearances from Lil Uzi Vert, Youngboy, Rod Wave, Ty Dolla $ign, Wale, Annalie Chapa, Youngblue, Gunna, Polo G, and more. And here is a snippet of A Boogie.

Oh no, that's something else. Alright, and then the next thing since we're talking about music, we have a snippet of a song, A Boogie featuring Capella Gray. And it is called Bestie. They ask you, so that's a single from that Culture Jam Volume 1, the first single. What do y'all think? Is that phone ringing it? or was that your phone ring?

It's not a phone ring. It's an alarm. No. I had no idea Kanye West did Industry Baby. Yay! You still on that? Yes. And his name is Yay.

Whatever! I didn't know he did Industry Baby. I looked it up. I couldn't find it. I swear I thought Jetson made it up. Well, you learn something new every day, right? You really do. Like, wow.

All right, and that is your rumor report. Did you look it up? Yeah, I'm looking at it now. I'm looking at it on Tidal. It's with my man Jason from Tidal. It definitely says Kanye West. It says Kanye West producer. I had no idea.

He could have did drums. He could have... They could have sampled something from it. You never know. No, it says producer. It says Kanye West and take a day trip. Wow. Well, there we go.

It's a dope record, too. That beat is crazy. Mm-hmm. All right. Well, who you giving your donkey to, man? Oh, man. Four after the hour. That's a dope record too That beat is crazy Alright Who you giving your donkey to man? Aw man Four after the hour We need to talk about

No I feel I feel bad We were talking about Squid game behind the scenes, and we all finished it. We didn't realize our guy Nick didn't finish it. Y'all don't care. I didn't know.

I told you guys all morning he didn't finish it. He walked out earlier saying that, okay, you can talk about Squid Game when I leave the room. But that's after we already spoiled it. That's right. Anyway, the dog here today for Wednesday, October 20th, goes to a 43-year-old man named Kevin William Teague. Kevin is from the Michigan area, and I swear in my old age,

I'd just be feeling sorry for people. I'm serious. I used to come in here and just want to give people the credit they deserve for being stupid, but when I hear certain stories like this one today, I feel bad for Kevin because clearly, clearly something is wrong, all right? We have to recognize when mentally someone is not what they need to be, and I have empathy for those people. I just do because I think some things are just out of their control.

Some things are above them. And I truly feel like this is one of those situations. Now, with that said, Kevin is a home invader. Okay? If you wake up in the middle of the night and a stranger is in your house, doesn't matter what his or her mental or emotional state is, they're probably getting shot. Okay? Well, at least probably getting shot. Okay?

Well, at least in my house. Facts. All right? Now, I will send him and his family healing energy after the fact, but hey, that person made a choice to break it into my house. I don't have time to figure out if they're mentally unwell. Now, that has nothing to do with the story I'm about to tell you because Kevin broke into someone's house,

and he lived to tell about it. In fact, he didn't just live to tell about it. He lived to ask the police for help uncle charlotte brother lenard what are you talking about he lived to ask the police for help after breaking into someone's house well let's go to news net for the report please a michigan state police trooper from the cadillac post responded to a breaking and entering complaint at a home on West Ridge Drive in Williamsburg. The homeowner reported she was watching television in the living room when she saw a man enter the room. She originally thought it was her husband. However, when she realized it wasn't, she screamed. Her husband came downstairs and told the man to leave. The trooper searched the area and located

the suspect, 43-year-old Kevin William Teague from Williamsburg in the backyard of his parents' home nearby. When the trooper attempted to speak with Teague, he fled into the woods. Later that evening, Teague called 911 to report he was lost. When troopers arrived, Teague flagged them down and he was taken into custody and lodged in the Grand Traverse County Jail. Teague was arraigned for one count breaking and entering without permission and one count resisting and obstructing police. He was given a $1,000 bond and his next scheduled court appearance is on October 26th. There's a phrase, God watches over babies and fools. Babies, maybe.

It's possible. Okay, God isn't a babysitter per se, but he will give the mother the scrimp to hold it down. But watches over, not watches. It's a difference, all right? The fools part, I don't know about that. Because, Kevin, I don't know if that was God watching over him or just the luck of the draw. Okay, it's great Kevin didn't get shot in these people's house but why would god be involved in this why would god have sent this fool all right to do the breaking

into someone's house and then have him run off into the woods and get lost and then this man felt like he could just call the police because he was lost never mind the fact he just committed a whole crime never mind the fact he was in the woods hiding because of a crime he just committed. I'm going to call the police and tell them I'm lost. You don't think they're going to have questions on why you just randomly in the woods at this time of night? What you going to tell them?

You're camping? Huh? You're hunting? Just taking a walk? Y'all do realize narcissism is considered a mental disorder, correct? Because there is no way you commit a crime and then think you are able to call the police because you're lost

if you're not a narcissist, alright? I, honestly, I can't even continue this story until we play a game of Guess What Race It Is! Maybe this will give us a better understanding of this situation, okay? Kevin William Teague, 43 years old,

broke into someone's house, lived to tell about it, fled into the woods, then had the audacity, the unmitigated gall to call 911 to report that he was lost. Angela Yee,

guess what race he is! Well, I'm going to have to say he is Caucasian. What makes you say Caucasian, Angelia? Well, you know, we don't call 911 like that. And then he probably said, I didn't know you couldn't do that. In the words of Dave Chappelle. All right.

Kevin William Teague, 43 years old, broke into someone's house and fled into the woods, then called 911 to report that he was lost. DJ Envy, Rashawn, guess what race it is! I'm distraught on this one. Why are you distraught? All right, because I'm in the middle, right? I'm going to tell you why, right? Because you're Dominican?

No, I'm not Dominican. I'm black. But I was thinking black at first because I can see a black person getting stuck in the woods and then hearing animals and being like, nah, F that. I'm calling 911 to get out. Okay. But if we did something illegal, we'd just try to- Sit in the woods, thug animals and being like, nah, F that. I'm calling. I don't want to get out. Okay. But if we did something illegal, we just try to sit in the woods, thug it out with them

bears. Thug it out with them bears because we ain't calling no police. I'd rather be with these bears than be in jail. Yes, I gotta go with Caucasian. Okay, well, I want Angelina and DJ Envy to know that you both are correct! Kevin William Teague is a Caucasian! He had to call Gassidy, the unmitigated white privileged gall,

to break into someone's house, run into the woods, get lost, and then call the police to help him. And his bond is only $1,000 for breaking into and entering without permission and resisting and obstructing police. And he resisted and obstructing police without getting shot. Well, if you just said that, I definitely wouldn't. I know. I didn't want to give that one away.

OK. Please give Kevin William Teague the biggest hee-haw. Matter of fact, let Kathy Griffin give some of that. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw. Chelsea Handler? What Chelsea Handler at? Hee-haw, hee-haw. That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise.

There you go. Any more? You good? Eh, for the culture. Why not? He's talking Chris Rock, guys. It says crack-ass cracker right there. God, don't give it away.

Baby mama issues? Need some words of wisdom? Call up now for Ask Ye. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. Come on. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real real advice call up now for ask

ye morning everybody it's dj envy angela ye charlotte nagar we are the breakfast club now it's time for ask ye if you need relationship advice or any type of advice you can call ye now we got cam on the line good morning cam hey what's Hey, what's going on, man? I just got a small question. I got a small problem. Okay. Alright, so, I got a four-year-old daughter. I mean, four-month-old daughter. And maybe three months ago, me and her father got into

an altercation where it turned big and she called the police on me and you know what I'm saying? Now I'm dealing with all this legal stuff going on in Jacksonville. But we ended up, like, getting back together, making everything good. But lately I've been kind of distant from it. Like, every time the legal stuff come up and I think about talking about law,

you know, go through all this, there's always an argument that we got over maybe an hour or two later after everything had calmed down. So I just want to know, like, am I being stubborn by, like, not trying to work everything out with it and get past it? Or what should I do? Because right now I'm just at a crossroads. I want to be in my daughter's life. I just don't really know if I want to be with her mother.

Okay. Well, a couple of things here. You said that the argument got physical. And in all honesty, did you put your hands on her? I pushed her. Okay. So you understand that that's wrong. And I know that you're going through some legal things.

It really does suck when these situations turn physical, where she put her hands on you, you put your hands on her. That has to be really difficult for her as well, right? And so the reason why you're going through the legal things that you're going through and you have to own up to it is that you did put your hands on her. And so that's something that's not easy for her. And I'm sure people who love her to have to deal with, too. As a man, you want your woman to feel protective. And when things get physical, you have to try to, you know, diffuse the situation and not do

things like that. It sounds like you both need to get some professional help to be able to move forward because some people might say, you know, that happened and she shouldn't be with you anymore. And I'm sure sometimes she thinks that to herself as well. Now, as far as whether or not you feel like you want to be with her, those are some things that, you know, you guys are fresh out of this trying to work through things. You're still dealing with legal issues, but you got to take ownership of the reason that you're dealing with it is your fault as well. Right, right. work through things. You're still dealing with legal issues, but you gotta take ownership of the reason that you're dealing with it is your fault as well.

Right, right. I understand that. It's just a tough pill to swallow knowing that, you know, I don't, I really don't know how to explain it. It's just hard to get past like in my head, but... And listen, and I know in our households, the worst thing you can do to a man

is call the cops on him, right? And then the system takes over. But she might really have felt threatened in that moment. Yeah, I mean, I understand the moment, the spur of the moment could have been defeated, but it's never been to that measure where the police had to be called. Even if it wasn't that hard, I don't really feel like the police had to be involved. Because, like, in a lot of states, especially Florida, like, once a a woman, Kim, I have to say that she wasn't wrong for that. You really did put your hands on her.

So unfortunately, you know, that is the consequences of the actions that took place. And I'm hoping that this is something that will never happen again and that you guys, whether or not you're together, can raise your daughter. Because, you know, you have a child who's four months old you would hate to see something like that happen to your child as you have a girl right

yes yeah and you know you should be very protective of that and understand that as a woman maybe she felt like at the moment i'm scared i gotta just call the cops because i want to make sure nothing happens to me because you don't know what was going on in her head or what type of trauma she's suffering from after that as well it sounds like y'all both need to get some professional help to be able to first and foremost top priority take care of your child together right right and then for you to make sure that nothing like this happens again and i'm sure that on her end there's work that she needs to do as well so that these arguments y'all as a couple or even as parents you're not going to agree on everything.

And you have to learn how to be able to disagree, but in a productive manner. And as parents, y'all need to be able to figure out those tools. You have a four-month-old, so there's a long road ahead for the two of you to be able to at least at the minimum co-parent well. So I think what would be great for you right now is to show that you are stepping up to the plate. You acknowledge the fact that you did something that felt threatening to her. You are now paying the consequences for that.

You know that you'll never do that again and take every step you can to make sure that it can be positive moving forward. Right, right. Well, that made it feel a little better. Thank you so much, Ashley. Hey, by the way, Charlamagne Tha God, I love you, bro. I love you, bro. I love you more, King I really need help Thank you for what you do on mental health.

I'm sorry. I'm just super nervous because I really wanted to talk to you guys for so long about this. Okay. I'm so excited. I'm sorry. I'm just super nervous because I really wanted to talk to you guys for so long about this. Okay, now we're listening, Nora. Okay, my question is pertaining to a situation about my dad. My mom and dad, they have been married for 40 years, and they're from a different country. However, of course, they go and visit sometimes. My dad just recently visited their country. And when he came back, he started acting pretty weird. He is an older man.

So he always asked me to, like, help with things on his phone because he doesn't know how to use it that well. But then now, after he came back from his trip, he was acting weird with me touching his phone. He was hovering over me. I just thought he was just old people, you know, things that they do. So I didn't think about it. However, when I got along with his phone and I went through his text messages, I saw that he was entertaining and sending money to another female that he met in this country during his shift. Oh, hell no.

Right. So I instantly got upset by it because not only are you cheating on my mom, but you're sending money to this woman that we don't even know. My mom, she does have dementia. So I was even more upset by that because I wasn't sure if I should even like bring this up to my mom or if I should bring it up to him but I didn't want to bring it up to him and he gets mad at me for like going through his phone being that I'm his child and not his wife how old is he he's 65 okay so you want to know what should you do? Yeah, should I even say anything to my mom about this?

You know, or if I should just go ahead and keep it to myself? Or should I bring it up to him? I don't even know what to do with this situation because, you know, they've been married for years. I've never experienced this in my head. You know, I'm going to say a few things here, right? And everybody's situation is different. So from my point of view, you don't even know what your parents situation is with each other. A lot of times we're unaware, right, of things that may have happened in the past understandings that they might have with each other. You don't know if this is something he's done before this year, but you don't know any of that, right? And so this is really just something right now that you need to deal with with him because I'm never a fan of keeping things to myself because I can imagine how that would make you feel about him. You already have a feeling about, you know, obviously your mom is

suffering from dementia. That's not easy. You feel like he's betraying her and the family. And on top of that, he's sending money to some woman that is most likely just taking advantage of him and his generosity. But clearly he's also lonely. And it's not easy to have been with somebody as long as your parents have been together to watch her suffer from dementia. We already know how hard that is on families. And I'm sure for him, it's really difficult. But I would say that for both you and your father, it's worth a conversation.

It might be something that would benefit him as well, but you cannot keep that to yourself. And you guys have to have that whole conversation because there's things at play here that you may not even know about. You know, as far as the difficulty that he's having, as far as maybe things about your your parents relationship that you're not aware of. And like you said, your mom is suffering from dementia. I don't know that something like this would be beneficial for you to bring up to her. I don't think you should bring that up at this point. But I think with your father, you definitely because you don't want to have these feelings of animosity toward him is something that you should talk to him about. But go into it with an open mind,

knowing that they might have things going on that you're not even aware of, and he might have his own struggles that he's dealing with, and it's not going to be an easy conversation for him to have. But you also don't want to see your father getting taken advantage of, right, at the same time. Right. He is too old to be acting this way. And I just feel as if you know being that he's with someone for he's been without for 40 years he had you know kidney issues and she took

care of him through all of that you know regardless of um her mental capacity um our capabilities i just felt like he um owes her a lot more loyalty And the only reason why I was really upset about him sending money to her was because my dad definitely asked me for money time and time again. And I'm the one that is actually sitting in the bill that he is sending. Right. And, you know, for me, moving forward, I wouldn't give him money, but what he needs it for, I would take care of. So if he's like, I need to get this. OK, no problem, dad. I got it. I'll send it to you. I'm going to order it for you online. I'm going to take care of that bill for you because you don't want to be sending him money

for him to be sending to somebody else. And truthfully, if that was me, I would text the girl and be like, this is his daughter. You know, leave my dad alone and you're not going to take it.

Yeah, I would. I would. Is this how I am? Talk to your dad first. I would do that. But you should definitely have that conversation just with your father. And it wouldn't hurt for you guys to actually talk to someone together, a professional that can help him work through his feelings and understand it for you as well. Because I would hate for anything to happen to your parents like they're older and you don't want to have these feelings of animosity, of regret, of whatever you might

feel resentment, you know, later on. So I would love to see you deal with that now. Yeah, because I definitely do. I love and appreciate my dad. He has been there for me since day one. He does anything for me. And the last thing I will want is to have any negativity towards him, you know, during the last few years that i may have

with him um but that really shocked me and it definitely didn't hurt me and i don't like i appreciate the advice you give because i honestly didn't know how to go about our approaches all right norah well i wish you so much luck and we're sending you so much love because i can't even fathom what that's like but it is complicated. Thank you Yee and thank you guys for answering my call. Thanks Noira. Good luck. Thank you. Bye bye. Alright. Ask

Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice. Yee, you got rumors on the way? Yes and let's talk about the co-CEO of Netflix, Ted Sarandosi is speaking out more about Dave Chappelle and how he did not communicate well with his employees. All right, we'll get to that next.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So Magic Johnson was on CBS News, and one thing that he discussed was the vaccination controversy and whether NBA players should tell the public to get vaccinated.

Here's what he said. Oh, for sure. You know, that's why I got my two shots and made sure I put it out on social media. I wanted especially my community to know that, first of all, it's safe. And the players, again, people listen to them. They follow them. That's very important. Plus, the

last thing is this. You have said to your teammates, I'm going to be there for you. Well, you can't be there if you don't get vaccinated. You're letting them down. And then that hurts our chances of winning the championship. I would never do that to my teammates. What was the question again?

Whether or not NBA players should have the responsibility of telling the public to get vaccinated. Yeah, I believe players getting the vaccine is promotion enough. All those athletes who have huge endorsement deals won't even take pictures next to certain products because they know them being seen with those products are an endorsement. So what's a better endorsement than NBA players saying they have the vaccine? Why do they got to go out there and do commercials and everything else?

Like, 95% of the NBA is vaccinated. Is that not enough? Yeah, I think it's 96% now. Well, 96%. Is that not enough to, you know, go out there and encourage people to get the vaccine? All right. Well, yeah, he was just asked about it. So that was his answer to that question.

All right. Now, Snoop Dogg has announced a new Algorithm LP and it has a new Mount Westmore single on there featuring Ice Cube 2 Short and E-40, of course. They're collectively known as Mount Westmore. So here is Big Subwoofer.

Big Subwoofer in the back like what's up? Blow the windows out the frame. It's a party when I pull up. Big, big sub. Big Subwoofer bouncing like a trampoline. Glass shake when I roll past the scene. Candy apple paint dripping classic green. Everybody eating, you can ask the team. Faster than me.

Speakers bumping, tags is clean. Keep me something to smoke on. Bad to poke on. Bass hit like an earthquake. Just hold on, I hit the block and roll on. All right, I hear that big subwoofer. That sounds good. Snoop 50 today, right? You said what? Snoop is 50 today, right?

Oh, is he? Okay, happy birthday to Snoop. Dropping the clues bomb for Snoop D-O-W-G. It's a lot of birthdays today. Today's also NBA Youngboy's birthday. I think, how old is he today? 22 now? Yeah, Snoop is 50 today. Today's also NBA Youngboy's birthday. Mm-hmm. I think, how old is he today? 22 now? Yeah, he still was 50 today.

Okay. I feel like today is Vice President Harris' birthday. Yeah, Kamala Harris' birthday. Okay. It's a big day. All right, Moneybagg Yo has also announced a Gangsta's Pain Reloaded seven new songs. So there's going to be some new songs on it, and we'll be getting that this Friday.

So some of the new songs. DJ Khaled, another one. Waukesha Remix featuring Lil Wayne. Switches and Drakes featuring Lil Durk. ESTG and Pooh Shiesty. So make sure y'all check that out. I know you want to. It's A$AP Ferg's birthday too.

Shout out to Ferg. A lot of birthdays happening. All right. Now Netflix's Ted Sarandos. He is the co-CEO, is speaking out he had gotten criticism for the Dave Chappelle comedy special, The Closer, and he made a lot of comments about it, but he does say that he screwed up in the handling of employee concerns,

and he's not taking down the special, but he does say that he should have uh basically said that he uh was sorry for people's feeling pain and hurt from a decision that they made instead of kind of dismissing that and so he says storytelling has a real impact in the real world i reiterate that because it's that because it's why i work here is why we do what we do that impact can be hugely positive and it can be quite negative so i would have been better in that communication. They were joining a conversation already in progress, but out of context. But that happens.

Internal emails go out and all my communications. I should lean into the humanity up front and not make a blanket statement that could land very differently than it was intended. So he said he made some blanket and matter of fact statements that are not all accurate. And he said that it was uncharacteristic for him. He was moving fast and trying to answer really specific questions, but there were a group of employees who were definitely feeling pain and hurt, and he should have led with a lot more humanity.

Nothing wrong with that. I just want to know what content are you going to create that everyone is going to agree with, though? It doesn't matter what it is, comedy, news, news radio someone is going to be the topic of said discussion or even when you're presenting a certain you know lifestyle or something somebody's not going to agree with it doesn't matter what it is right and i guess when you have employees who have concerns you just lead with humanity and understanding of that because he does he is aware that everybody's not going to like everything, and so you can't make blanket statements.

You just kind of have to lean into that humanity. I hear people who complain about polls. I hear people who complain about sisters. I hear people who complain about Chappelle's, Chappelle's. Everybody's going to always have something to say. Some people even complain about the Breakfast Club, believe it or not. Really?

No. No, that's not true. Nobody ever complained about the Breakfast Club. In 11 years,. Really? No. No, that's not true. Nobody ever complained about the Breakfast Club. In 11 years, we've never had no complaints. Stop. But we lean into humanity. And Charlamagne was on Stephen Colbert last night. And, well, no, I meant to say Lenard McKelvey was on.

That's right. I go to my therapist a lot, and I talk to her about getting caught up in the caricature of yourself. And it's like, for me, you know, the name Lenard McKelvey grounds me, because when I hear it, I hear my grandma, I hear my mom, I hear my wife. Like, nobody calls me Charlemagne at the house,

you know what I mean? And I remember we had Will Smith on The Breakfast Club, like, last year. He said, you know, he had read my book, and he was talking to me, and he was like, I'm seeing the real you poke out. And he was like, I just want you to know that you don't have to wear the mask

anymore you are enough and i was like are you tapping my phone is my therapist giving you notes on me like how do you know that so i just felt like that was god talking through him in that moment to let me know you know what you're on the right path you don't need to wear the mask no more you don't have to be the character of charlemagne you can be lenard lenard is enough that's right drop on the clues bombs for Will Smith, damn it. That's right. Take the mask off, bro. And drop a bomb

for Charlemagne poking out. Lenard is poking out. I mean, Lenard poking out. Be yourself, man. Also for Legacy, too, though. A little poke coming through. Also for Legacy because I got four daughters

and I want all of them to keep our last name when, you know, they get older. If they get married, you know, do the hyphen thing. But keep the McKelvey. Keep the Legacy going. I'm not out here

breaking these generational curses for nothing. All right, well, that is your Room of Reports. Proud of you, bro. And I do want to thank everyone who's been watching The God's Honest Truth on Comedy Central. The show's been doing really well. We have a dark week this week,
