Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
We need help!
That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series,
The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast
Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into
their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never
heard her before. Listen to
On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. It's on your radio right now. Do you know how to pop that coochie for internet? There you go. It's the world's most dangerous morning show.
The camera's a mother******.
I agree.
What kind of show is this?
Let's all listen to this show.
The Breakfast Club.
With DJ Envy.
The captain of this b****.
With Angela Yee.
The only one who can keep these guys in check.
With Charlemagne Tha God.
I'm a lovable a**hole.
And this is The Breakfast Club, bitches!
Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
Angela Yee's getting her face beat.
What up, Charlamagne?
Peace to the planet.
It's Friday.
Yes, it's Friday.
It definitely is Friday.
What's happening?
I'm glad that it's Friday.
I'm tired.
You and me both.
I'm always tired, though.
You and me both.
I got a crazy weekend this weekend, too.
Of course, my daughter turned 18 on Wednesday.
So it's a school day, so we couldn't celebrate.
So we're actually celebrating this weekend, too. Of course, my daughter turned 18 on Wednesday, so it's a school day, so we couldn't celebrate, so we're actually celebrating this weekend.
So tonight, I'm taking her and her friends out to a dinner.
After that, I'm taking them to see D.L. Hughley
at Caroline's this weekend to have some comedy.
Then I got them all in a hotel room in the city
so they can have, like, a little girl's sleepover.
I'll be in the room next door, though.
Funny is funny, right?
Yes.
But I wonder if she would find D.L. Hughley funny.
D.L. Hughley is hilarious.
He's one of my favorite people in the world.
But I'm also 41 years old.
So I wonder if an 18-year-old girl would find D.L. Hughley funny.
Just because some of the references might be a little older, things she don't know.
You know what I'm saying?
I think that's not going to be the problem.
You know what the problem is going to be?
What's the problem?
Her white friends are not going to understand what D.L. Hughley might be saying.
Oh, yes, yes.
Take those young white kids to see D.L. Hughley.
That might be a little bit of a problem.
That might be a little confusing.
They might learn something.
That might get a little racy, a little spicy.
I'm with that.
Record that if you can.
My daughter's friends might be a little shocked, shell shocked.
Oh, yeah, record that if you can, please.
But it'd be a little fun.
So that's what we're going to do.
So I'm taking them out this weekend.
And then this weekend, I'm headed to Atlanta to do my real estate thing.
Teaching, you know, I try to teach the community about real estate, generational wealth, how to get in the real estate game.
There's so many people out there that do these seminars and charge people thousands of dollars and really get people.
And that's not what I try to do.
I really want people to learn.
I go to these places where I'm bidding for properties,
and I never see anybody that looks like me.
So the fact that I'm trying to teach people how to do it
because we've got to start owning our community.
So I'll be in Atlanta this Sunday.
Oh, knock it off.
You know the Breakfast Club is anti-black.
You ain't doing nothing for your community, okay?
Where do you get that from?
Knock it off.
Where do you get that from?
I don't have nothing to do this weekend, okay?
I'm going to therapy today at 2.30,
and then I'm resting my black ass at home all weekend long
and indulging in this thing called Disney Plus.
Okay.
That's what I'm about to do.
Well, you enjoy your little Disney Plus with your anti-black self.
You're taking me on a mental health break this weekend, okay,
because I've been running.
I've been in three cities in one weekend and two cities in one weekend
and this coast and that coast.
I ain't got time for all that.
Well, cry me a river.
I'm not crying.
I'm happy.
All right.
Life is good.
I just know when to disconnect.
All right.
Well, Michael Rubin will be joining us this morning.
He's a partner of the 76.
They don't call themselves owners anymore, but he's a part owner, but they don't say
owner, so partner.
Partner just sounds stupid to me, but whatever they want to call him.
Yeah, he's a partner in the 76s.
He's also part of the Reform Alliance Committee.
Correct.
You know, with Jay-Z and Van Jones and Mick Mill.
And he's what I would call a white ally.
He is a white ally.
He's definitely a white ally.
And also a comedian, Flame Monroe.
Wow.
Dropping the clues bomb from Flame Monroe.
If you've seen Tiffany Haddish's Day Ready special on Netflix, then you've seen Flame Monroe.
Flame Monroe is a trans...
I don't know if it's gender or trans woman,
but he's a member of the trans community.
But forget all that.
Hilarious.
Yes.
Okay?
Yes.
At the end of the day,
all I want to know is somebody funny or are they not?
You're a comedian.
That's what you're presenting as to me.
Correct.
I don't know. Everything else you may be presenting as is cool, but when you say you're a comedian, are they not? You're a comedian. That's what you're presenting as to me. Correct. I don't know. Everything else
you may be presenting as is cool, but when you say you're
a comedian, are you funny? I personally
find Flame Monroe hilarious. I think
you will, too. All right. So we'll kick it with Flame
as well. All right. Now let's
get the show cracking. Front page news
is next. Like I said, Angelina is getting her face
beat. You know, I call Angelina this
morning, right? I never call. I never call my coworkers
in the morning, But I called.
I was like, yo, you coming to work?
Because I'm not doing rumors or front page news.
Are you coming?
She's like, hello.
I'm like, yo, you coming to work?
She was like, yes.
I'm like, get up.
It's time to go.
So I actually woke her up.
So I guess she'll be here in a second.
Front page news.
I don't know what we're talking about.
But Mello is signed with a team.
I'm going to tell you something, man.
Carmelo Anthony signed with the Trailblazers.
Colin Kaepernick hopefully will be signed by next week.
Donald Trump keeping promises.
What?
Keeping black people working?
Donald Trump keeping promises.
Yo, shut up, man.
Yo, shut up, man.
Donald Trump keeping promises.
We'll talk about that.
Black unemployment rate is decreed.
Yo, shut up, man.
Trump put a clothesline for Donald Trump.
Don't you dare.
Don't you dare.
We'll talk about it when we come back.
And there was a huge fight on the football field last night.
Somebody got his smack in the head with a helmet.
We'll talk about it.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Hey, morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Let's get in some front page news.
First of all, Carmelo Anthony has signed to a new team.
And I'm so excited about that.
He signed to the Trailblazers.
Listen, I'm happy Carmelo Anthony has signed,
but I think it's disrespectful when guys like Carmelo Anthony
have to sign these non-guaranteed contracts.
Like Carmelo Anthony, you know, Olympic champion.
Who knows how many times All-Star.
He should at least get to Veterans Minimum.
Non-guaranteed deals, I don't like that.
Yeah, non-guaranteed deals until what, January?
If he stays on the team to January, then he gets a daily.
It sounds crazy.
I don't like that for Mello.
At least get a brother to Veterans Minimum at least.
But, yo, I'm happy that he's on the squad.
Drop on a Clues bond for the guy called Mello.
Yes, it made me happy last night when I seen that.
Also.
And hopefully Kaepernick will get signed next week after this workout tomorrow.
So, you know, just got to drop on a Clues bond for Donald Trump for keeping promises.
Don't you dare.
Black unemployment rate decreasing.
Don't you dare.
And also, last night the Browns beat the Steelers 21-7.
Now, the Steelers tried to fight off the Browns, literally.
That was a fight I've never seen before in NFL football.
If you don't know, the quarterback was sacked.
The quarterback and the guy that sacked him, I can't pronounce his name, were kind of tussling.
Miles Garrett?
Yeah.
Who got sacked?
Baker Mayfield?
No, no.
Mason Rudolph.
Rudolph.
Oh, so Mason, the Steelers quarterback.
Steelers quarterback got sacked, and they started tussling. The Cleveland Browns guy took his helmet off
and then smacked him over the head with his helmet.
Miles Gary took his helmet off.
Yeah, smacked him over the head with his helmet.
So hold on, he took his helmet off.
He took the quarterback's helmet off.
And then smacked the quarterback with his own helmet.
Smacked the quarterback with the helmet.
Dropping the Clues bombs for creativity, baby.
Don't you dare.
Don't you dare.
That's creative.
I've never seen that before in my life.
And the quarterback
probably didn't see that coming.
Look, look, look.
Definitely didn't see it coming.
He swung and caught him, too.
It wasn't like it was a...
Oh, now, what am I seeing here?
You said that...
I thought you said
that he took the quarterback's
helmet off and hit the quarterback
with it.
Yes, that's what it is.
That's the quarterback right there
about to get hit in the head
with the helmet.
You see the helmet in there?
Oh, got you, got you, got you, got you.
He is going to get suspended for that.
They just said they don't know
how long yet.
So did they take the helmet off or did his helmet fall off?
No, he took it off.
After he got sacked, he picked the quarterback up by his helmet,
ripped it off.
That's dope.
The quarterback was wild and he smacked him with the helmet.
That's dope.
That's like taking somebody's belt off and then spanking them with it.
That's pretty much what it seemed like.
You watching the video now?
You showing them the video?
It's disrespectful. The stupidest thing in the world is when NFL players throw punches at people's heads much what it seemed like. You watching the video now? You showing them the video? It's disrespectful.
The stupidest thing in the world is when NFL players throw punches at people's heads.
With helmets on.
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
I mean, I understand it's just instinct, but come on.
What else we talking about, Yee?
We were going to talk about the school shooting.
Do we have time right now?
Yeah, we can do that school shoot right fast.
All right.
There were two teenagers who were killed after a 16-year-old gunman,
and it was his birthday, by the way, shot five classmates,
and then also shot himself.
All of that within 16 seconds.
The suspect's name is Nathaniel Berhow.
This happened at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita.
So the shooting began right before classes started.
Some of the students were streaming out of the building.
Other students were hiding.
One student was hurt in the chaos and needed medical attention.
They are still working to find out what was the motive behind this shooting.
Did they say where the gun came from? Was it the parents? He pulled it out
of his backpack, but I don't know where it came from.
It was a.45 caliber. I was thinking that this
morning on the way to work. I was like, as parents, we
got to do a better job if we have guns in the house
to make sure our kids can't get the guns. And I know
a lot of times we have teenagers and we'd be like, no,
our teenagers are smart, they're bright, they would never
do that, but we got to be extra careful and make
sure they can't get to that gun.
That was a.45 caliber gun.
He shot, killed two kids.
And I don't think he's dead, right?
He's not dead, though, right?
He's in grave condition.
So he shot himself in the head.
And they said he is clinging to life right now.
Sheesh.
All right.
Well, that's front page news.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent.
Hit us up right 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. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I,
King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a
great colonial tradition. 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!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

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

Get it off your chest, man.
Hey, man, I'm mad about this Carmelo thing, man.
They take too long for us to put my guy back in the game.
At least he's back on, bro.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stop being like that now.
Why do we do this?
Like, we complain about him not being in the league.
Then when he's back in the league, we say he take too long.
It's only been three weeks.
The new season is been three weeks.
The new season is only three weeks.
He ain't got no championships, but he's a veteran.
My guy's a legend.
Yes, and he's on the team. Can we celebrate that? He's on the Trailblazers now. Yeah, he's on the team. Let's
support him, man. Yeah, you right. You right.
Hey.
What's good? What's up?
Nothing. Y'all doing good on this freaky, freaky,
freaky Friday? Oh, yeah.
And make sure you join in the flame and roll at 8 a.m.

Hello.
Who's this?
My name's Elias, man.
I'm from Bushwick, from Brooklyn.
Okay.
You know, I'm just calling just to say it's a blessed message to all y'all.
You know, I'm 24 years old.
Just opened up my contracting business.
You know what I mean?
And I'm just calling just to connect with y'all, do y'all things, and continue to get into this bag. Yo, Charlamagne was good. Peace, King.
What's up?
So wait, you're a contractor now?
That's great.
Now let me tell you something.
You're contractors.
I was going to say the same thing.
You never take the amount of time you're supposed to take.
You always take way longer.
Are you going to be different? Nah, my timing, I'm different. I'm young. We're young, we're moving. So far,
my job's been going on.
Everything's going smooth.
I can't complain.
Don't take people's money, bro.
Just do the right thing.
We might need your help.
Yeah.
I appreciate that.
I want to give a shout-out
to my company.
These guys are doing their thing.
It's BTB Renovations,
LLC.
We're doing it, man.
We're doing this.
New York, baby.
All right, dope.
All right, brother.
Have a good one.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, what's up?
MV, it's your boy, Mello. Oh, Carmelo? Congratulations on going to the Trailblazers, bro. Have a good one. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's up, Envy?
It's your boy, Melo.
Oh, Carmelo?
Congratulations on going to the Trailblazers, bro.
Yo, it's funny because that's actually where I get my nickname from.
Like, people used to call me Carmelo, but I got into a car accident and lost my car,
so then they started calling me Melo.
They cut off the car part.
But for real, I'm just happy that he's finally on the team, for real, man.
Me too, bro.
Yeah, definitely, man.
Yo, Envy, shut up your hair plugs. For real, they look great,
bro. I don't care what nobody thinks.
They not hair plugs! I don't know why.
No, they hair plugs. They look great, bro.
You keep lying, bro. You got a trap toupee
and it's fine. I'm actually about to
start a business called Trap Toupes, man.
Emi, did you dye your hair also? No, I didn't.
You can see. No, look.
It does look like you dyed it. I didn't do anything.
I just cut it. Yo, your barber, who I know personally, salute to Johnny. He's good at what he does, bro. No, look. It does look like you dyed it. I didn't do anything. I just cut it.
Your barber, who I know personally,
salute to Johnny.
He's good at what he does, bro.
Oh, boy.
Okay, he is a magician.
Johnny's been getting a lot of calls and asking for hair plugs,
but he doesn't do hair plugs.
Yeah, because it's not hair plugs.
It's something else.
It's not.
I think we might just be,
I think we might be calling it the wrong thing.
It may not be hair plugs,
but it ain't real.
Yes, it is.
You know what? Forget it.
Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning, haters.
The Breakfast Club.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or
blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
This is Marquis from Jersey.
Marquis from Jersey.
Get it off your chest, brother.
Man, I'm calling, and I just want to say thank you to you, Charlemagne, and me, man.
Y'all don't know how inspirational y'all have been in my life.
Over the last, like, five, six years, I had a lot going on.
I just came out from prison.
Listen, it's a job.
I was able to get my life on track.
I drive track with trailers now. I have a new job because of Charlemagne's Black Privilege book. Good. Charlamagne Booker, he's in prison right now. Like I said, I just went through a lot, and y'all are motivation every day.
I listen to y'all every single day.
I just want to say thank y'all.
Izzy, you helped me get my credit.
Big Daddy, listen to me.
You talk about real estate.
That got me, you know, my credit is 8-1 now.
A lot of things.
You guys really motivation.
Angela, he is like the boss of all bosses.
Shout out to her.
She's super dope.
But Charlamagne, really, like, that anxiety
and all that, man. Like, I started
therapy. I go to therapy every
other Monday now.
I went through a lot. Like,
at 18, I had a little... My little brother
was on a 10-year bid. My little cousin
is dead. And they both turned 18
a month apart. Three months later,
my little cousin was killed. And six months
later, my little brother went to jail.
We're just dealing with that and, you know,
shook ones and all that, and getting into therapy
is really helping me become
the best version of myself as possible.
I'm proud
of you, my brother. I'm proud of you. I'm proud
of you for seeking some healing, man. Salute
to you, and I hope you continue
to do the work, King. Man, thank you.
Thank you so much, Charlamagne.
Charlamagne, I was wondering,
my brother's in prison and
I'm trying to
find, I don't know where
around me I don't have bookstores.
So I guess I like,
is your book, do you have a personal
website? Because I want to make sure it goes
straight to you. I don't want no second party
nothing, getting any of the money because I definitely want to send that to my brother to you. I don't want no second party, nothing, getting any of the money
because I definitely want to send that to my brother in prison.
He ran black privilege, and he's just ranting and raving,
going nuts about it.
I'm pretty sure you can do it on Amazon.
You know what I mean?
I mean, I can get your address and send him a paperback copy
because you know they can only get paperbacks in jail.
I'll put you on hold.
I'm going to get your address.
I'm going to send him a copy.
Thank you, sir. I really appreciate it. Hold on one second. Like 30 seconds. Hold on. you on hold. I'm going to get your address. I'm going to send him a copy. Thank you, Charlamagne.
I really appreciate it.
Hold on one second.
Like 30 seconds.
Hold on.
He on 9-6.
Hello, who's this?
Man, this your boy International Green from Houston, man.
What's up, Greg?
Get it off your chest, brother.
Green, like the color green.
Oh, green.
What's up, green?
Get it off your chest, bro.
Man, Chilla, I want to say what's up to Charlamagne.
What's up?
What's up, Envy, man?
I had a quick question, man.
What color is this kid that shot that school up?
I believe he's white.
No, he was Asian.
Oh, Asian.
Yeah, he was Asian.
Was he Asian?
Yeah.
He was Asian.
He was Asian.
Okay, there's two things that I think, you know, we got to start looking out for.
As black people, you know, we got black on black crime.
That's our main issue.
And as far as the shooting up school things, man, we already know who controls that market.
So I think we got to kind of, you know, understand the monster in order to address the monster.
You know what I mean?
What's the monster?
Talk to me.
Speak freely, sir.
Speak freely, man.
You're speaking in code, bro.
What is the monster?
What are you talking about?
The monster amongst our black brothers and sisters,
you know, we have an envious
attitude towards each other. We always
pull each other down. We always worry about what the other
person's making, if he's making more than me.
All that needs to be settled. At some
point... What's that got to do with school shootings?
The school shooting
leads to this.
That's our monster. Their monster
is that most of the people
that you see this happening
is white people or Asians.
We don't do that.
I've never heard.
I personally have never heard
of the Asian person
shooting up a school hotel yesterday.
Oh, yeah.
Virginia.
Asian.
Oh, okay.
I'm not saying you're wrong.
I'm just saying I've never heard of it.
Yeah, I don't know that Asian people
are known for shooting up schools.
It's happened a couple of times.
But if you look, yeah, they're in that market.
They're starting to climb.
They're in that market.
They're in that market, man.
This is not an out release, bro.
But the main thing I want to say is, as far as school shootings and stuff like that that's going on,
that's constantly going on, if you know where it's coming from,
if you know the area it's coming from,
that area needs to be targeted more because our kids got to be safe at the end of the day.
Oh, you are right, though.
The Asian in Virginia Tech was a Korean-American.
Hello.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's not proving your point, but you're correct about that.
It is proving my point because—
I do believe that most—
In order— I believe that most domestic.
Yes.
Go ahead, Charlamagne.
I'm just saying I believe most domestic terrorists in America are white males.
Yes.
Vanilla ISIS is a real thing.
I agree with you on that.
But I'm not saying that that that that that's targeting them for some reason.
I'm just saying statistically wise, that's where I'm coming from.
So if you want to combat this issue and keep kids safe, search the white people.
I mean, I'm sorry.
My bad.
Goodbye, Green.
Okay.
I don't know what this is about.
Goodness gracious.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051 if you need to vent.
Hit us up.
Now we got rumors on the way, Yee?
Yes.
Now we're going to talk about some black girl magic.
We'll be talking about the American Music Awards and the Grammys.
All right, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee.
My brother, Trap Toupee, just walked back in.
DJ Trap Toupee!
I was brushing my hair.
Oh, okay.
Your hair might have been brushing you because it looks alive this morning.
Stop it, man.
It looks alive.
People are really believing you, man.
They should.
They should not.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Alicia Keys.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor report.
Rumor report.
This is the rumor report.
Talk to them.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, Colin Kaepernick has touched down, so he is getting ready for his big workout.
That's going to be happening on Saturday.
Yesterday, he touched down in Atlanta to get ready for that workout.
And some of the teams so far that have committed,
because they're going to be actually meeting with 11 different teams,
Arizona, Atlanta, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Miami, New England,
the Giants, the Jets, Tampa Bay, and Washington.
They are going to be attending.
And they said it's only Thursday so far, so there's still,
well, yesterday it was Thursday, so there's still until tomorrow
for the workout.
They do expect additional teams will commit to actually be in attendance
or at least send some video of the workout to all 32 teams as well.
Good luck to Cap.
Yeah, we should all be sending Cap positive energy.
You should all hope Cap gets on the
team. I think if you don't want Cap on the team,
then you're just one of these Negroes who wants to
complain for the sake of complaining. You know what I mean?
When Wile E. Coyote finally catches the Roadrunner,
you gotta know what to do with him when you get him.
So if Cap catches the Roadrunner tomorrow, which
I believe he will, we should all be
celebrating that, right? That's what we wanted, right?
Yep, yep, yep. Now what's interesting is that
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made a public appearance yesterday.
And one of the demands that they had was that they would not talk about Colin Kaepernick at all
during that time and period that he was at the Paley Center.
So he said that he only had 25 minutes.
And that's why they didn't even want to discuss that right then.
Yeah, I mean, plus there's nothing to talk about.
The workout is tomorrow.
Twelve teams are going to be there.
Yo, we sent Colin nothing to talk about. The workout is tomorrow. Twelve teams are going to be there. Yo,
we send Colin nothing but positive energy. I don't see why he wouldn't make a team, especially this year with all
of these quarterbacks down and out.
Alright, now for the second year in a row,
Alicia Keys will be returning as
the host for the Grammys, so congratulations
to her. That takes place January
26th at the Staples Center in LA
and it'll be broadcast live. And Ciara
will be hosting the 2019
American Music Awards. So that should be
fun. Yep. She's set to host
that. So yeah, Black Girl
Magic. Voting is still open until November
20th for all categories for the American Music
Awards. So you can get your
votes in as well. Alright.
And now let's discuss who considered
running for president, but he said his
family voted it down.
It was actually Mark Cuban.
Can you see him running in 2020?
That was his original idea, and here's what he told TMZ Happen.
Oh, no, my family voted it down.
No?
Yeah, I would have done it if they said yes, but no, I don't see it happening.
So you don't see any political future?
You never know.
You never say never.
We don't need no more celebrity in chiefs, man.
I really think that they need to change the qualifications for president.
I think that you need to have a certain level of education,
and you definitely should have held some type of public office
before you get to just be the president of the United States of America.
I agree with that.
Definitely some type of public office.
Come on, man.
Now, here's an update on what's happening with Eric Holder.
That's Nipsey Hussle's alleged killer.
He has pleaded not guilty to all six charges brought against him last month, as you know.
How do you do that? We've all seen the video.
Now, as a defense attorney tried to have
the two attempted murder charges dropped,
a judge denied that motion.
And now they're saying his trial is expected
to begin in February of 2020.
So the prosecution is saying that Eric Holder
is guilty of attempted murder
because of that same kill zone theory.
They say he may have only targeted one victim, but due to his mode of attack to firearms,
he had intent to kill everyone in a particular zone, especially given that his initial target was not moving.
So that is what's happening right now.
I just want to keep you guys updated on what's going on with that.
You know, once a day I think about Nipsey Hussle.
Rest in peace to Nipsey Hussle.
His murder just hit different
and it hasn't even been a year yet.
But every day, at least once a day,
I think to myself,
they really killed Nipsey Hussle.
Right.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee
and that is your Rumor Report.
All right.
Thank you, Ms. Shee.
Now we got front page news.
Next, what are we talking about?
Yes, we're going to talk about
this really unfortunate shooting
that happened at a Southern California high school that left two teenagers dead.
All right, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired? Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tried my 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 warheads.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets. Bullets.
We need help!
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, or wherever you get your podcasts. is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories,
their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow,
and admire, join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.
It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive
myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're
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,

We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning.
What's happening?
Let's get in some front page news.
Now, congratulations to Carmelo Anthony.
He's expected to sign with the Portland Trailblazers.
Yes, indeed.
Peace to the God, Carmelo Anthony.
He's back in the NBA.
I'm excited about that.
Yeah, only thing I don't like is I don't like when they give even guys
like him, guys like Dwight Howard, these non-guaranteed
contracts. Like, yo, come on, man.
They are the epitome of veterans. They provided
a lot for the league. At the least, they should get a
veterans minimum. All that money the NBA making?
Yeah. Gotta give Mello a non-guaranteed
contract. Get that man a veterans minimum at least.
Now, also on Monday night,
Thursday night football!
The Browns beat the Steelers 21-7.
But everybody was talking about the fight that happened.
The quarterback actually got hit in the head with a helmet.
Yeah, I've watched this like five different times this morning.
And there's a way Myles Garrett could spin it,
but I'm not his PR, so I'm not going to give him no credit.
We do have audio of Myles Garrett talking about him attacking Mason.
I made a mistake.
I lost my cool.
And I regret it.
It's going to come back to hurt our team.
The guys who jumped in the scrum, I appreciate my team having my back,
but it's just never got to that point.
That's on me.
Yeah, I mean, listen, Myles Garrett was dead wrong.
You know what I mean?
But he could have easily just said, look, man,
he called me a nigga at the bottom of the pile.
And, you know, I just reacted, you know.
That's it.
Well, Mason Rudolph actually also commented on Miles' attack on him.
Pretty cowardly, kind of pretty Bush League, which, you know, there's plenty of tape out there to watch.
I haven't seen it replayed, but yes, I really haven't seen anything like that yet.
How do you feel?
I'm fine. I'm good.
That was the quarterback that got hit in the head with the helmet.
Now, the Browns quarterback actually spoke about it.
Do we have his audio, too?
That's inexcusable.
I don't care, rivalry or not, we can't do that.
That's kind of the history of, you know, what's been going on here lately,
hurting yourself, and that's just endangering the other team.
That's inexcusable.
He knows that.
Hey, listen, he's right.
Miles's move was all emotional.
But this is a prime example of, look, man, some people, like I always tell y'all,
some people's two is another person's ten.
Miles just took it to ten for no reason. Yeah, but there was no reason for that.
But that's the point.
You don't know that when you get into it with somebody.
What's wrong with your headphones, bro?
They've been broke.
But you don't know that when you get into it with somebody.
You get into it with somebody and they do something like that, you're like, whoa.
It's football.
You don't take the helmet off and smack them over the head.
You got to know who you're getting into it with.
He didn't know.
And I'm not saying Miles is right.
Or the quarterback, too.
He just got hit.
That's my point.
Miles is just one of those people that takes it to the 10 for no reason whatsoever.
You got to know that before you get into altercations with people.
Well, I want Miles on my squad, then, just in case.
Yes, you do.
Miles is willing to go above and beyond.
What else we talk about, Yee?
Well, let's talk about this really unfortunate, sad, tragic shooting that happened in a Southern California high school.
Saugus High School in Santa Clarita.
It's now two people, two victims, a 16-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy have died at a hospital.
There were three other students who were wounded.
And the shooter, who is Nathaniel Burhow,
the suspect, actually shot himself as well.
And he's in critical condition.
The shooting did start before classes started and it only lasted 16 seconds for all of this
to happen.
They said they did feel like he knew he was down to his last bullet when he shot himself.
Now, authorities are trying to figure out what happened, what made this happen.
At first, they thought that there was an Instagram account that they believed to be linked to the suspected shooter.
But a spokesperson for Instagram said the account did not belong to the suspect.
And that account has been suspended because it violated their codes as well.
So you can't see that at all anymore.
And people are trying to figure out what went down.
I think they were saying that from what they know, there were signs of trouble at home.
They said the suspect's father, Mark Burhow, was arrested in 2015 on suspicion of attempted battery on his spouse.
And they did cite insufficient evidence.
The father did then die of a heart attack in December of 2017. But they said he was an avid sportsman who loved big game hunting.
So as they tried to figure out where he pulled this gun out from, how he actually managed to get that gun,
it could be because his father was a hunter and owned
several weapons is what it's seeming like right now.
Yeah, and as parents, if we do
own guns or we have guns in the house,
we have to make sure those guns are locked up,
those guns are hidden. I know a lot of times
we have teenagers and we're like, oh no, our child will never
do that. It's okay if they know what a gun is. No,
we have to make sure a child can be
very emotional, a teen can be very emotional. You never know when they're going to get is. No. We have to make sure a child can be very emotional. A teen can be very emotional.
You never know when they're going to get that weapon.
So we have to be very, very careful.
Of course, everybody knows my dad
is a retired police officer. And I remember
I was playing basketball in the backyard.
And I was playing against this kid that was way bigger than me. He knocked me
on the floor. And I said something. He said,
my mother. So I ran upstairs and got my
pop shotgun. And I brought it out and I
pointed it at him. I didn't shoot, thank God,
but it could have went that way just because
I knew where my dad's gun was. You know what I mean?
So we just got to be extra careful when it comes to that.
I'm going to be honest with you. I like that story. And the reason I like that story
is because it's a story somebody can learn
from. But I don't believe that story because you also fell
in a club with Nelly and Nelly had to come
help you get back up. So I do not believe
that you got knocked to the ground, ran upstairs,
grabbed a gun and came back and pointed at somebody.
That's just me, though.
It has nothing to do with nothing.
I just wanted to say I don't believe that story.
But I will say these school shootings just seem so...
What does one have to do with the other?
These school shootings just seem so normal to me now.
Like when we hear about them every few months and the only reason I'm not completely numb
to it is because I have kids.
I just don't know what to do about this issue other than treat schools like the airport.
Like all schools need metal detectors, arm security.
When kids come into school, they got to get treated like they're going through TSA.
But you got to be also extra.
I know we got to go, but we got to be extra careful with these kids and their feelings.
And we have to make sure that we talk.
But it's things that we don't think about.
What do you mean?
The other day, right, my son is playing basketball, right?
He breaks this kid's ankles.
They're just playing a game.
Like, we do it all the time.
So I thought it was cool.
I posted it.
You couldn't see the kid's faces.
But when the kid got to school the next day, when he walked into the cafeteria.
He was still thinking about getting his ankles broke.
They were yelling, breaking ankles.
And my wife called me and was like, maybe you should take that down.
Yeah, it is kind of your fault for posting it.
I didn't think about it.
I'm like, my son did good and I was just excited about it.
But you don't think how it could affect somebody. Somebody broke my ankles all the time. It was basketball. Yeah, hurt people hurt people. You know what I'm like, my son did good and I was just excited about it. But you don't think how it could affect somebody.
Somebody broke my ankles all the time. It was basketball.
Yeah, hurt people hurt people. You know what I'm saying?
A lot of times, these people that are hurt, they just go around redistributing
that pain to other people. So I understand what you're saying.
But God damn, man. You can't make fun of
breaking somebody's ankles. That's what I said.
I said my son did good. I was excited.
I'm a father. It can't be annoying when
like 1.5 million people watch it.
Teach your kids some defense.
Michael Jordan got crossed over by Allen Iverson.
You don't see him out here crying about it.
I told my wife the same thing.
And she said, Rashawn, that's not right.
Take it down.
How do you think all the people that used to play against him and one player used to feel?
I said the same thing.
Skip the model who used to embarrass the hell out of people.
All the time.
You fucking cry for them?
Yes.
Man, if you could get the fuck.
I said the same thing.
But anyway.
They're a little younger.
He's a teen in high school.
All right, well, I took it down.
That is your front page news.
You buckled it.
You the guy that ran upstairs and grabbed a gun on somebody.
I did buckle.
My wife told me to take it down.
She the boss.
All right.
When we come back, Michael Rubin will be joining us.
We'll kick it with Michael Rubin.
Oh, that's my guy.
I love Michael Rubin.
Yes, he's not a, he doesn't call himself,
he's a partner of the Philadelphia 76ers.
Yes, so we'll kick it with him,
and we'll talk about everything.
Don't move, it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. He's back.
Yes.
Michael Rubin. Welcome back, sir.
Your official title is Philadelphia 76ers partner and Reform Alliance co-chair.
That's right. I like it. Glad to be here. Excited to be here.
You know, it's interesting because I hear your name a lot when it comes to people who talk about white men
or white people who didn't know
exactly what was going on in the system,
but when they found out,
it was like they just had this awakening
and now they're all in on doing what's right.
And want to make a change.
You know what?
Sometimes you can be oblivious
and then something can wake you up.
And going through what I went through
with Meek a few years ago,
I don't know how you couldn't be woken up to it.
I mean, it was one of the most disgusting,
disturbing things I've ever seen in my life.
So definitely was a hard wake up.
And it's a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to make a real difference about it.
Now, I was talking to you outside.
You said the Pennsylvania state legislator will vote on this bill soon.
Tell people what this bill is and why you're nervous about the outcome.
Yeah, well, first of all, I'm always nervous about anything before it gets done.
That's my personality.
So the Reform Alliance is 100% focused on changing the laws that affect probation and parole.
You know, I think you guys know the numbers.
There's 6.7 million people in the system in America, stuck in the system,
five times the rate of incarceration of the rest of the world.
But 4.5 million are on probation and parole.
So it's two-thirds of the system.
So in Pennsylvania, we're actually the third worst state in the country.
So 1 in 35 people are on probation and parole in Pennsylvania.
So we've got a bill focused 100% on probation, both House Bill 1555 and Senate Bill 14 that are focused on doing three things.
The first is putting limits on how long you can be on probation.
So they'll put limits of two years on misdemeanors, five years on felonies. By the way, the majority of states have limits on how long you can be on probation. So they'll put limits of two years on misdemeanors, five years on felonies. By the way,
the majority of states have limits on how long
you can be on probation, but Pennsylvania
has no limits. So I think you guys
remember, Muke was on probation for 12 years and
had another six years left, so he had 18 years of probation.
I just met somebody with 23 years of
probation. It's impossible to not screw
up. There's no way. None of us could be on
probation. I couldn't be on probation for a year. So
this puts limits on how long you can be on probation, number one.
Number two, it really stops you from being able to go to prison for not committing a crime.
There are, in Pennsylvania, 25% of the people that go to jail and prison each year go for technical violations.
They didn't commit a crime.
You're late to see your probation officer.
You're not going to go to prison for that.
By the way, Pennsylvania is spending $100 million a year
putting people in prison who haven't
committed a crime. Crazy.
Is there a lot of private prisons in Pennsylvania? Gotta be, right?
I think it's more the stupidity
of the system, to be honest. I'm sure there are some,
and I'm not an expert on the private prisons versus the public
prisons, but I can tell you that
it's just fundamentally a broken system. And then the
last thing is
giving kind of benefits
for good behavior to reduce your probation.
And we're hoping this gets done in December.
And this could be maybe the biggest thing
to happen in criminal justice reform.
But what can people do?
Like, we always talk about what, you know, people listening,
they always feel like they can't do anything.
Call your state reps and tell them,
we got to get House Bill 1555 and Senate Bill 14 passed.
And by the way, some of the stories you see
are crazy. I don't know if you guys saw last week, Meek and I
went to prison. Did you guys see the story last
week? They went to visit a prison.
Yeah, we went to visit a prison.
Yes, thank you.
That shows the unawareness of
someone who grows up middle class.
Yeah, I got you.
Meek and I went to visit prison.
We heard about the story.
By the way, same judge as Meek.
Crazy story.
So a guy who was 19 years old
was a lookout man for a robbery
where I think it was like $300 involved.
And he went to prison for,
I think it was eight or 10 months.
And he paid, you know,
he should have gone to prison.
He was part of a robbery.
You know, he paid his price.
He got probation, ended up having 10 years probation because the same judge, he gives you probation.
10 years probation.
Yeah.
He got five up front and then he couldn't pay his fines.
So he got another five, I think.
So he's been on probation.
He's now 29.
He's been on probation for 10 years.
He's never committed a crime in the past 10 years.
He's been sent to prison twice because the first time he didn't get his GED,
he couldn't afford to pay his fines.
Oh, I did see that case somewhere.
And this guy went to prison the first time
for one to two years.
And then just about a year ago,
he had $1,900 in back fines.
And he got sent to prison for another 18 to 36 months.
So basically, it's like a debtor's prison.
It's like, you're poor. We're putting people in prison for another 18 to 36 months. So basically, it's like a debtor's prison. It's like, you're poor.
We're putting people in prison for being poor.
Yeah, I saw Meek post that.
And is that the same case where the guy couldn't pay his child support or something, too?
Yeah, by the way, this guy's got two kids with special needs.
That's him, yeah.
Okay?
He's making $600.
He's staying home, taking care of his kids.
He's making $600 as a part-time janitor.
He got put in prison.
If you look in this country, you say you tell two-thirds of the country about this, staying home, taking care of his kids. He's making $600 as a part-time janitor. He can't be put in prison.
If you look in this country,
you tell two-thirds of the country about this,
they would never believe it's possible.
How is someone going to prison for not being able to pay their fines?
You know what's so crazy?
I was on probation for over a decade in South Carolina,
and I never thought anything of it.
And the reason I never thought anything of it
is because I was like,
it's better than the alternative,
which is jail.
You know what?
I'm not sure that you're right.
I used to have this debate with Meek, and Meek would say to me,
he'd say, Michael, I would take another year in prison to be done with probation
because he'd say to me, I'm just waking up every month thinking,
when am I going back to prison?
And this guy, Meek and I spoke to him, Maurice Hudson,
and he kept saying to me, like, I just know I'm going to go back to prison.
So it's funny you say that, that you didn't think you were going to go back to prison
because the way Meek
grew up and the way this guy Maurice Hudson grew up, it's just
the expectation that part of being on probation
is you go back to prison
multiple times while you're on probation. Yeah, you know, I
agree. I think that being on probation for that amount
of time is wrong, but
I just didn't think anything of it. Did you have
the fear that you were going to go back to prison?
Oh, all the time, man, especially when I used to smoke weed.
You know what I mean? Because I thought that I would have to, you know,
go in and fail my piss test. I would be taking the
golden seal and the cat's claw and all
that to try to clean your system out. It was just too much
pressure, so I just stopped smoking. Now, you mentioned
Meek's judge. Whatever happened to her?
Was she thrown off the case?
She was thrown off a Meek's
case. She's still a practicing judge.
She's got another three years left.
To me, it's actually an embarrassment that she's still on the bench. Like, I have respect for most people in the system. She's still a practicing judge. She's got another three years left. To me, it's actually an embarrassment that she's
still on the bench. I have respect for most
people in the system. She's
one of the people where I say, the system's broken and
allowed her to do what she did, but she's fundamentally
a flawed individual who
is not fit to be a judge,
and she's still on the bench today,
putting people like Maurice Hudson in prison because they can't
afford $1,900 in fine. By the way, you know what it
costs to be in prison? And I hate to even approach it
from an economic perspective, but I try to
appeal to all people. We see it one way
and I think from an economic perspective, we see it another way.
It costs like $50,000, $60,000 a year to keep
somebody in prison. So someone can't afford $1,900
in fines, you're not putting them in prison for
18 to 36 months, it's going to cost the government of Pennsylvania
$100,000 and you're ruining
their lives and screwing up their kids for $1,900.
How much free labor do they get out of these guys, though?
It might cost them $50,000 to keep them in prison, but they might do $2-3 million a year in free labor.
But even when they get out, they still owe $1,900.
But this guy, let me tell you, this guy, he had the right intentions.
You know, like, this guy, he could have, he's like, the other thing, he went to prison for the first time.
It was three things.
He didn't get his GED.
He had an under-the-table job. Okay, guess what? When you're on probation,
how hard is it to get a job? Hell yeah.
Right. So it's like the system is
set up to keep people stuck in the system
and that's why, you know, we're not merging
worlds as quickly as we need to. Are there any updates
on getting Maurice Hudson released?
Because when I see stuff like that, I'm going to be honest with you, I'll be like,
bro, I can pay this for him. So I paid
it the day I saw it.
And then I'm like, okay, we're getting everyone together.
We're getting Meek's legal team together. How are we getting this guy
out of prison? And by the way, there was also Meek's judge.
It was like, everything about this said
we have to help this guy. So he's still in?
He's been in for over a year.
Even after the fines are paid? After the fines
are paid. So he's got no fines due. So he's now
got the Superior Court, which is
one court above the Common Police Court,
which is where Judge Brinkley is, is looking at this case now.
And I think they're going to look at it at the latest in January.
But again, why are you guys so helpful getting the message out for people who are in prison
who didn't commit crimes like Bruce Hudson?
It puts pressure on people to do the right thing.
And that's why, you know, it's so important to talk about this.
We got more with Michael Rubin when we come back.
Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
We've been on a tragedy for a long time.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We still kicking it with partner of the Philadelphia 76ers, Michael Rubin.
You get backlash from all the stuff that you do from the judges and talking about the judges
and talking about the system.
Do you have any problems?
Anybody take shots at you?
Anything like that?
Well, are you laughing now? Your hair looks mad, Daddy Yankee. Leave my hair alone. talking about the judges and talking about the system. Do you have any problems? Anybody take shots at you? Anything like that?
Why are you laughing, though?
Your hair looks mad daddy Yankee-ish.
Leave my hair alone. Like it's distracting me.
First of all, I actually was distracted by him
because I thought he looked such better than me.
No, I was fine.
Like last time I saw this guy, he was pudgy.
Now he's in good shape.
So I was like, I'm the baddest guy in the room now.
So I'm not eating for like, I'm going on a starvation diet right now.
You do.
I'm just letting my hair grow.
Yo, you've seen LeBron up close and personal.
Okay, so I'm going to, listen,
I'm the most transparent person.
Hold on.
I'm going to tell you a story.
You're not touching that.
You're not going to tell him it's real.
It's not.
I don't care what that,
call it touching up.
Hold on.
Okay.
I'm going to tell you guys a story
that's going to make you crack up right now.
It's real.
I believe it's real.
Thank you. Hold on. That's because he believes in you. Hold on. So I'm'm gonna tell you guys stories to make you crack up right now. Okay. It's I believe it's real Thank you. Hold on. I'm gonna say he believes in you. Hold on
So I'm gonna tell you story this shows you how comfortable I'm on myself
I'm at the all-star game this past year and I had had about ten too many drinks
Mm-hmm, and I was talking to Matt Carter who sure you guys know and I was like really math
Yeah, I was out of my mind. So I was like playing with my I'm like, man. I gotta get hair like you
He's like Ruben, I'm gonna change your
life. Okay? He says, let me show
these pictures of Bron. He shows me these pictures
of LeBron and his hair
a long time ago, his hair today.
He said, hair is here you need to call.
And literally, I did it.
And I have a lot more hair. So you got hair plugs too? They're not plugs,
man. I don't have plugs! Hold on,
hold on, they're not plugs. Tell me what it is. You take the
follicles from the back of your head to the front of your head.
By the way, go ahead.
I'm not shy.
Yeah.
It looks good.
My hair looks good, so you know what?
That's not mine.
It's like mine, bro.
No.
Hold on.
I know what it is now, Michael.
Thank you.
I saw a picture of him in the doctor's office.
There's a picture of him.
I know what it is.
He was in the office I went to in Chicago.
It's a PJMV.
He was there.
He's coming out with a marketing campaign.
It's a hair follicle. See, I keep saying hair plugs. You can say they're not hair plugs. It's that follicle. It's a PJMV. He was there. He's coming out with a marketing campaign. It's the hair follicles. See, I keep saying hair plugs
so you can say they're not hair plugs.
It's that follicle. Follicle. Yes, it is.
It's not no damn follicle. You follicle.
You, bro. Listen, I had
2,500 follicles from the back of my head to the front of my head.
You were bald bald?
I mean, I was bald even and I gotta tell you something.
It was like one of the better things I did.
It was like, it was two days. It was great.
So, you know what? What's going on in your head?
I don't know.
Oh, you don't want to see mine.
I ain't got no haircut.
He needs more than follicles.
He needs more than plugs.
I'm going out like this, bro.
I'm just going to tell you right now what I received.
Let me tell you something right now.
Everyone I talk to, when they see it, they're like, how do I get this?
I must have sent 50 people to this guy so far.
But that's not me.
I got hair here.
Yeah, right.
So back to the judge.
Is there any backlash?
I just want to say we may need to do an independent audit and study of your hair.
We may need to test it right now.
I agree.
And we also need to test him to see if he's taking weight loss drugs or something.
There's nothing there.
This guy, he does look pretty good from the last time he was here.
It's the hair.
He was in big hoodies before.
Now he's in slimming t-shirts.
Hair makes you look younger.
I'm serious.
That's why I moved the hair from the back of my head to the front of my head.
And every day his hair texture changes. That's why I kept distracting me. Every time he talked, I'm like, I'm serious. That's why I moved the hair from the back of my head to the front of my head. And every day his hair texture changes.
That's why I kept distracting me.
Every time he talked, I'm like, I'm not looking at him.
And I looked at him and I was just shiny and black.
I'm like, yo, this guy looks really Dominican today.
He's a real daddy Yankee.
Back to the backlash now.
Are you getting any backlash from the judges or the system at all?
So the answer is, of course, like, first of all, as we just displayed,
I'm someone who doesn't really give a shit about what anyone thinks.
I just always do what I think is the right thing.
So, yes, you certainly when you go and try to change a fundamentally broken system and the criminal justice system is really broken, there's going to be lots of people that aren't happy with it.
But the one thing that I always try to do is work together with everybody.
And I think that goes a long way.
I think that's kind of a business approach. Like, I'm not someone who's like, you know,
I see things like just one way and I can't compromise
and I can't be open-minded.
So for me, I look at the issues we have with law enforcement.
But I think there's lots of good people,
great people in law enforcement.
Absolutely.
Who are protecting us and who are keeping us safe.
And I appreciate them.
And I make sure to thank them
every time I'm in contact with them.
And I make sure to, there's lots of good judges
and there's lots of, you know,
great people that work at the prison. So I look
and say, there's more good people than not
good people in the system. But the system's fundamentally
broken. But yeah, of course you're still pissing
lots of people off. I mean, don't forget when I, you know,
when this thing happened with Meek, everyone told me I was f***ing nuts.
People were like, Michael, you are out of your mind. This is gonna be
bad for your business. We were getting letters
to fanatics saying, we're not gonna buy from you anymore.
People were sending letters to the Sixers saying they want to cancel
their tickets. I just didn't care.
What did your partners think, though?
Well, look, and I was very fortunate because
Josh Harris
and Dave Blitzer are the two managing
partners of the Sixers. And basically,
they knew Meek, and they were like, listen,
we've known this guy for years. He's a great guy.
We're behind you in whatever way you want.
They were great. By the way, Adam Silver, he was the first
phone call I made. He's like, Michael, I've known you 20 years.
I trust your judgment.
I've met me before, but if you tell me this guy's good, I'm behind you.
So fortunately, being part of the NBA was like you had complete support
from the league office and from the two managing partners of the Sixers,
and it was great.
I mean, the NBA usually does stand for what's right,
except for when it comes to China.
You know, look, one thing I've learned,
I have become immersed in the issue of criminal justice reform.
I know a lot about it.
The dynamics in China, I can tell you, I wouldn't begin to really understand them.
I was in China when that happened randomly, nothing to do with the NBA.
And you talk to people in China, you talk to people in Hong Kong, I was just asking questions.
It's such a complicated issue.
The one thing I've learned from that just watching that from the outside is
I speak on things I really understand.
I don't talk about s*** if I don't know what I'm
talking about. Are y'all going to roll this
out to other states, this bill? Definitely.
100%. So our goal is to get it right
in Pennsylvania first, which we
hope to get done by the end of the
year. That's why we need everyone to call their
reps and tell them how important getting
Senate Bill 1555 and, I how important getting Senate Bill 1555
and, I'm sorry, House Bill 1555
and Senate Bill 14 passed are.
Once we get it done, we're going to go to five or six
states next year. Some of the bigger states will be
Georgia, worst state in the country.
700,000 people in Georgia
on probation.
700,000 people.
It's funny, I'll tell you a funny story.
Thank God it came out the right way, but I was with Quavo a few months ago.
Quavo.
Yeah.
And I looked at him.
I said, are you on probation?
He's like, why would you think I'm on probation?
And I was like, well, there's 700,000 people on probation in your state.
So I just assumed everyone's on probation.
He's like, no, I'm not on probation.
But it was just like.
Michael, if I didn't know you, I would say that's some racist shit.
You profiled the fuck out of Quavo. No, what I actually did was look at. Michael, if I didn't know you, I would say that's some racist s***. You profiled the f*** out of
Quavo. No, what I actually did was look at
the math.
I think also it is. But what I really did was look at the math.
Yeah, it's either one in
17 or one in 16 people in the state
on probation. I can't even get my head
around that. That's like 10 football stadiums.
That's 10 football stadiums filled
with people that are on probation and parole
in Georgia.
We're going to go after Michigan's another state that needs a lot of help.
And the big states, like the way we're going to do this,
very business oriented. To go to Michigan, ask Eminem if he's on probation. Is he?
I don't know. You should ask him. I will.
Just to balance it out. I'll ask everyone.
You know me.
As I told you, the way I learn is by
asking questions all the time. Alright, we got more with
Michael Rubin 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 the partner of the Philadelphia 76ers,
also reform advocate, Michael Rubin in the building.
Now, you mentioned a football stadium.
Are you still trying to buy a football franchise?
If the right situation comes up, I'd love to do it.
I was excited about the Panthers.
What happened with the Panthers?
At the end of the day, the owner didn't want to sell the team to me.
We had an incredible group together.
He was going to buy the team.
Why didn't he want to sell you?
You hang around too much black people?
I don't know.
You'd have to ask him.
How much did you offer him?
I mean, we started, and I don't want to get into the exact details because we're under NDA,
but let me just say the price that was paid was a very fair price. Who was the group?
Was it a diverse group? It was a very diverse group.
Really? Maybe that's probably what it was.
Look, I could tell
you, I think it would have been a very good situation,
but to answer the question that you asked, would I like to do it?
I love what I'm doing, but if the
right situation comes up, I would definitely
do it, but it's not like if it doesn't work out,
I'm good too. I want to talk to Colin a little bit.
Do you have a relationship with Colin? I know Colin pretty well.
Do you ever use your influence
among NFL owners to, you know,
get him a job? Because he's getting a tryout this Saturday.
I know Colin well enough.
I certainly would love to see him back in the league.
I think it'd be great for a lot of reasons.
Have you ever used your influence, though, with the owners?
Like to say, hey, man, Robert signed
Colin. Look, at the end of the...
Have I pushed the agenda over the years? Look, at the end of the day, have I pushed the agenda over the years?
Absolutely.
At the end of the day, here's what I can tell you.
When you own a sports team, whether it's an NBA team or an NFL team,
you wake up and go to bed if you're a good owner obsessed with how to win.
And I can tell you, I think that Colin having a tryout coming up
and having a lot of teams attending and every team watching him
is a great step to getting him back on the football field.
You've got to applaud the NFL,
and Roger was very smart for partnering with Jay and Roc Nation.
I think so.
What do you think about that?
A lot of people were mad about that.
Was it wrong?
Yeah, was it wrong?
Anyone who's mad is dead wrong.
Roger and the NFL was brilliant for partnering with Jay and Roc Nation
because I think they recognized opportunities to learn from Roc Nation,
to have good input and advice coming from Roc Nation.
What I've learned about Jay is I haven't seen him ever care about money.
He cares about making the country and the world a better place.
And so when I think when the NFL and Roger approached him,
I think, you know, I don't want to speak for him, but I think what went
through his head is, I can make a real
difference from the inside. This is one of the biggest
platforms in the world. So I don't
think he really gave a s*** about
producing music or about, you know,
halftime. I think that was, you know, for him
where he could help the NFL and add value.
But I think what he really wanted to do
was work together
to solve problems.
And I think that's great for the NFL.
I think it's great for Jay and Roc Nation.
I think they've got a great partnership that could produce incredible results.
So when people say to me they think Jay sold out, it's a joke.
And why would he sell out?
This is the bottom of the knife inning for him.
Forget about this.
There's not even any money involved.
This money to Jay is like,
you know,
I think it's what he spent
on watches that he sent out
to his friends
for the charity thing
that's coming up tomorrow night.
So this is,
you know,
there's no money involved in this.
I got to tell you something.
Again,
say whatever you want
about the NFL,
but you've got to give Roger
and the NFL credit
for saying these guys
can be helpful
and listen to him.
So if you think Jay
wasn't out there
pushing this agenda,
of course he wasn't.
You got to give Roger credit for listening,
the NFL credit for listening.
The NFL, I think, from my perspective,
is doing everything they can to help facilitate this now.
And now Cap's got to go out and seize the opportunity.
Yeah, there's been some rumors, though,
that Jay was influential in getting Cap to try out.
I think that's right.
Do you think he's a PR stunt by the NFL?
I don't.
At the end of the day, remember one thing.
The NFL cannot make any team sign him or not.
And here's the most important thing I want to tell you.
If you own an NFL team, you'll do
anything to win. If
Colin can give a team a better chance
of winning, they're going to sign him.
And now what you've seen is before there might have been a feeling
that, hey, I'm not sure. Now there's
a push from the league. This is definitely a push
from the league. And you can't debate that this
is a push from the league. Why do you think he was blackball, and you can't debate that this is a push from the league.
Why do you think he was blackballed to begin with?
I don't think, so I'm going to give you a different perspective.
I think it was just a complicated issue.
I don't think he was.
That's my honest opinion.
But there's now a push to get him back in the league,
and there's a big difference.
And so now you have the league out there saying,
hey, let's break this tryout.
Let's get as many teams there as we can.
We hope somebody signs him.
Yeah, let's send the video to everyone.
Let me tell you something.
If he looks great, he's going to play in the NFL again.
Yeah, because to me, that was just a bat signal to tell teams,
like, okay, you can sign him.
Like the NFL said, we hope that he gets signed.
Now, what's your relationship with Drake?
I mean, I have a good relationship.
Are you mentoring him at all?
No, no. We're more bantering friends during the NBA season.
Either gambling friends or bantering friends.
Those are the two.
I will say he did get the better of me during the basketball season.
I got many pictures of him in Sixers clothes
because I do think he really was cursed.
Whatever clothes he wears, we did get the opposite reaction for us.
So, you know, we had a lot of back and forth during the season.
We hang from time to time.
When Kawhi Leonard hit that shot last year.
Oh, boy. Do you really want to make me say that again? I'm a happy
person. What did you feel
like? Let me tell you what I feel like.
I'm going to actually give you like a
reincarnated for you. Literally,
the shot went up and it bounced. I stood up
and I went like this because I was on the other side of the court.
I had four seconds of complete
happiness because
the ball bounced. I was literally in the air.
Like, I thought it was overtime.
And then the place goes crazy.
And I'm like, I was confused.
I was literally confused.
I'm like, what is going on?
And then, like, I just sat there, like, and watched it for, like, two minutes.
I looked at my daughter.
I looked at my mom.
I said, let's go.
We left.
And then I got the barrage from Drake.
Then I got the Instagram story of him in the Sixers shorts saying,
nighty-night to Joao, me in bed.
And, you know, I got a bunch of bantering text messages.
And that was it.
Are y'all trading Ben Simmons?
I think I saw Kendrick Perkins yesterday say that y'all should trade Ben Simmons.
Yeah, look, look, I don't ever talk about individual players.
You know, we've got a great GM in Elton.
I can tell you, look, I'm a huge believer in Ben, but I'm not, you know, huge believer in Ben, but it's Josh and David's team, and ultimately Elton's the GM,
and so he makes all the personal decisions.
Do you pay attention to what they say on ESPN?
Because they're picking Philly as a favorite,
but they're like, yo, Ben Simmons gets a jump shot,
Sixers will go to the finals.
I think I saw Stephen A. Smith say that.
Yeah, of course.
I mean, you ask me if I'm normal if I watch ESPN.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've got some bit of normality in my life.
I do watch ESPN.
Look, when you're an athlete in a professional sport,
when you're involved in ownership or partnering a team,
you need to be thick-skinned.
There's been rumors about every player.
Every player has rumors every year.
You see it, but it doesn't even faze you.
Y'all lost some good pieces, though.
Jimmy Butler, J.J. Redick.
Yeah.
We gained some good pieces. Look,
I think we've got an incredible team. I think we
can do great things this season.
I'm really excited, and
I'm looking forward to nothing
that can be greater pleasure than to
be holding the trophy at the end of the year, and
then also be able to pick back a drink a little bit.
How do you feel when these players want to leave, though?
You know, when Jimmy Butler wanted to go and J.D. Redd wanted to go, how do you feel?
I got to tell you something.
One of the things that I've had to learn is you need to compartmentalize your relationships.
So I think the team has to do what's best for the team.
The players have to do what's best for each other.
I think generally when guys who, and by the way, if you look at the math of a team,
there's so much turnover in any league, I think, whatever, 30, 35% a year.
So you learn it's business.
And that's why I don't become emotional about it other than after those four seconds in Toronto.
No permanent enemies or friends when it comes to business.
I agree with that.
I agree.
Well, maybe a few, actually.
But I try to keep no permanent enemies or friends.
I keep more friends than enemies, actually.
Well, we thank you for joining us and appreciate
you. Thanks for having me, man. It's Michael Rubin.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired? Depressed? A little
bit revolutionary? Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like
this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons
of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
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! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from

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

JMV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Monique.
She's spilling the tea.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, looks like Monique is suing Netflix for discrimination.
She posted, Hi, my loves.
I can confirm that today I filed a pay discrimination lawsuit against Netflix.
I had a choice to make.
I could accept what I felt was pay discrimination,
or I could stand up for those who came before me
And those who will come after me
I chose to stand up
I don't have any further comment at this time
But I appreciate all of your love and support
So we will see what happens with this lawsuit
Because she does love us for real
Yeah, I mean there's a lot of diverse
Programming on Netflix
I mean you have people of all races
All genders, all sexualities, all religions.
That's going to be a tough one to fight.
God bless Monique, man.
I wish her the best.
Right, she claims that Netflix allowed Kevin Spacey
to use the N-word while on this set of House of Cards
without any consequence.
She also says that Kevin Spacey complained
to his personal security guards,
I don't want N-words on my set anymore.
She also used a major pay gap on the show The Crown on Netflix
to illustrate alleged discrimination.
She says the actress who played Queen Elizabeth II
was paid $14,000 per episode,
less than the actor who played Prince Philip,
and it only righted that wrong
after there was a public outcry about that.
Let me ask you guys a question, right?
Mm-hmm.
You can sue a company even if you weren't the one victim of it?
So if I say Ang Lee gets dispaid and Charlamagne gets
dispaid, it's not fair. Well, she does say she was a
victim because of the offer that she got.
Yeah, but I just don't understand how you prove racial
and gender discrimination when they have
so many different races and so many different
genders on Netflix. Like, how do you prove that the
whole company is racist just because you
didn't get a deal? But you know what?
Do your thing, Monique. I guess she's saying is the
discrimination as far as pay.
Not just that they don't get the opportunity,
but they're not getting equal pay.
So we shall see what happens.
We will see. I know we got Flame Monroe on next hour.
Flame Monroe is from a Netflix
show called They Ready.
That's presented by Tiffany Haddish, a black woman.
And Flame Monroe is a
black transgender because I don't know what to call Flame. show called They Ready that's presented by Tiffany Haddish, a black woman, and Flame Monroe is a black
transgender.
I don't know what to call Flame,
but he'll be here next hour. She'll be here next hour.
Well, he calls himself
He, She, We.
Let's move on.
We'll talk to Flame.
Alright, now let's discuss
J-Lo. She sat down for the Hollywood
Reporter's Annual Actress Roundtable.
She was with Lupita Nyong'o, Renee Zellweger, Laura Dern, Scarlett Johansson, and Awkwafina.
And she talked about one experience she had with the director who asked her to go topless.
A director out of fitting asked me to take my top off.
Well, because I was supposed to do nudity in the movie.
I remember being so panicked in
the moment like oh my god and by the way there was a costume designer in the room with me
and so there's another woman in the room with me and he says this and i was like
no you know luckily a little bit of bronx came out you know what i mean i was like i don't have
to show you my and because i put up a little boundary right there and said no he he laid off
and then later on apologized. But the
minute he walked out of the room, the costume down, I was like, I'm so
sorry. Wow.
Imagine that. You're not even on set or anything
and they're saying, I want to see your breasts before we even
film this. So fortunately
for her, she did not fall victim, but a lot of
people would have. Alright, Boosie.
Boosie Badass. His album,
Talk That Ish, is out.
So I'm sure you guys are excited for that. I'm going to make sure I listen to that today. Boosie, Boosie Badass, his album Talk That Ish is out. So I'm sure you guys are excited for that.

Here's what he said.
You know, me and Drake laughed about it.
It was funny.
Like, we was dead ass on the text laughing about it.
But it's just like, boy, you know, you had no business, boy, being at Camp Flognaw.
What did he say back?
He was just laughing.
He was just like, yo, that's what for the books, bro.
It just didn't matter to him.
Like, you got to remember, like, no offense to whoever was at Camp Flogna or whatever,
but, bro, I mean, come on.
The kids was on a ride, bro.
At the end of the day, it's still Drake.
Drop on the clues about Tori Lanez.
He's absolutely right.
Tori Lanez is also a founding member of Club Trap 2Pay.
Oh, my goodness.
Him, DJ Envy, Tyga, LeBron James.
Pretty good company, man.
It's a great company, but I don't have a plug or nothing.
But you know what?
At least Tory Lanez is honest about it.
Tiger's honest about it.
That's why I respect Tory.
Salute to Tory.
Salute to Tiger.
What is Tory coming up here?
For having way more heart than DJ Envy.
Oh, he's coming up next week.
So you can understand that mine is real.
It's not no plug.
It's not no whatever you call it.
And listen, a lot of people say it's real because it is their real hair.
It might be a transplant from another part of your body.
It's no transplant.
I didn't take no pan from my butt, nothing.
Arms, pits, nothing.
Those are follicles.
They're not follicles.
You're going to do a show.
You're going to do a new podcast called Meet the Follicles with you and Tiger.
Okay?
Meet the follicles.
All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
Who are you giving your donkey to?
The follicle family.
Huh?
Who are you giving your donkey to? Follicle rock. Huh? You heard me. Who are you giving your donkey to? The follicle family. Huh? Who you giving your donkey to?
Follicle rock.
Huh?
You heard me.
Who you giving your donkey to?
Oh, a young man named Rory.
Rory Diaz.
Okay?
He needs to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with him.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning.
You get donkey at a date.
Yeah, you dumbass.
You get donkey at a date. Yeah, you dumb ass. You get donkey of the day.
Yeah, you dumb ass.
You are a donkey.
It's time for donkey of the day.
Donkey of the day, huh?
I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.
They want this man to throw them blows, man.
They wait for Charlamagne to tap these gloves.
Let's go.
They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day.
They chose you.
The breakfast club, bitch. Who the donkey of the day. They chose you. I know she is. The breakfast club bitch.
Who's donkey of the day today?
Yeah, it's donkey of the day for Friday, November 15th.
Oh, today's payday.
Yes, it is.
Oh, okay.
Dropping the clues, bounce for payday, god damn it.
It's that good check.
It's that check that don't go to no bills and that.
But today's donkey goes to Rutledge Rory Diaz of New Orleans.
New Orleans, all right.
Soothe everybody who listens to us on Q93 in New Orleans,
okay, drop on the clues box for Q93, damn it.
Now, today is Friday, so you know what that means.
It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday!
And there's some horny-ass people on this planet,
and some people have some very weird sexual fetishes.
Rory Diaz, 29 years old, has taken Freaky Friday to a new level.
I've never seen this type of freak.
You see, Rory was arrested and booked Wednesday night on 10 counts each of sexual battery and human labor trafficking
and one count of possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
Now, what in the hell was Corey doing?
Let's go to the greatest news reporter that ever walked the planet, Joe Bartlett of WOR for the report, please.
An uptown New Orleans.
A New Orleans man is facing sexual battery charges after posing as his made-up handicapped
brother in order to obtain a home health care provider that he tricked into changing his
adult diaper for sexual arousal.
Rutledge says the nurses is loving me, saying the best part of the day is my half, feeding
him breakfast and giving him a sponge bath.
Diaz, 29, was arrested and booked Wednesday night on 10 counts each
of sexual battery and human labor trafficking
and one count of possession of a controlled substance.
Police Thursday, in a release, said that Diaz posted ads on social media
for home health care for who he claimed was his mentally and physically handicapped
18-year-old brother, Corey. Upon arranging for a home health care for who he claimed was his mentally and physically handicapped 18-year-old brother, Corey.
Upon arranging for a home health care provider, Diaz would then pose as Corey
while allowing the care provider to change his sh**ty diaper and obtain sexual arousal
under the false pretenses of being physically disabled.
Hashtag horny and handicapped.
This guy...
I'm going to close Clues Monster Joe Bartlett
He's the best
This guy pretended to be mentally and physically disabled
So he could get his diaper changed
Like this is his fetish
Acting like a baby
Is technology not making it easier
For people to get sex
I would think it's way easier to get like
Sex workers, prostitutes
Just to hook up with women, period.
And I'm sure it is, but Roy doesn't want that.
Roy doesn't get off on just being with a woman.
He gets off on being a baby.
This is an interesting case study because he told investigators
that he suffered severe childhood trauma and being cared for like a baby
brought him back to a time and place where he was at peace.
I feel him.
You know, we all have a wounded inner child inside of us,
and Roy is trying to find healing for that wounded inner child.
I get it.
This is the reason why I look forward to being balled up in a fetal position,
laid up under my wife all weekend,
watching X-Men cartoons on Disney+.
Okay?
Wine-weighted blankets, X-Men cartoons.
Brings me right back to that peaceful, trauma-free childhood life.
So, Corey, I feel you, but no.
You need therapy.
You need counseling.
You can't pretend to be mentally and physically handicapped,
risking diaper rash for some ass.
Just for fun, though, who do you think Rory's favorite rapper is, Envy?
Lil Baby.
Lil Baby.
Who do you think his second favorite rapper is?
Da Baby. Okay, okay. Who do you think his second favorite rapper is? DaBaby.
Okay, okay.
Who do you think his favorite rap mogul is?
Birdman Baby.
Birdman Baby.
Okay, okay, okay.
Who do you think his favorite R&B singer is?
His favorite R&B singer, Babyface.
Okay, okay.
I can see why you would say that.
Yee, what do you think his favorite TLC song is? Baby, Baby, Baby. Mm Babyface. Okay, okay. I can see why you would say that. Yee, what do you think his favorite TLC song is?
Baby, Baby, Baby.
Okay, okay.
Steven, you want in on this?
Come here.
Steven, the White Demon.
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Grab the mic.
Grab the mic.
Grab the mic.
What do you think Rory's favorite rap song ever is, Steven, the White Demon?
Same as mine.
Ice Ice Baby.
Hey.
I was thinking someone's always be my baby,
Mariah Carey.
There goes my baby, Usher.
I said rap song.
Oh, sorry.
Stand down.
Now Diaz was placed in custody
at his New Orleans home
without incident
after police got an arrest warrant.
And anyone who believes
they're one of Diaz's victims
should call Louisiana State Police
Detectives at 504-310-7000.
Okay, something tells me, though,
it won't be a long line of people coming out to admit this one.
All right?
Please give Rutledge Rory Diaz the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's.
Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.
You are the donkey of the day.
Yee-haw.
What's going on?
All right.
That's weird.
Thank you for that donkey of the day.
I got you, baby.
What's wrong with you, man?
All right.
Let's keep Freaky Freaky Friday going, damn it.
Oh, my goodness.
All right, when we come back.
Oh, man.
Flame Monroe will be joining us.
Flame Monroe.
Now, if you've seen Tiffany Haddish's Day Ready special on Netflix,
then you've probably seen Flame Monroe.
Flame Monroe is a member of the trans community.
Okay.
I don't know whether it's transgender, trans women.
I just know he's a member. See? Yes. But see, I don't know whether it's transgender, trans women. I just know he's a member.
She?
Yes.
But see, I don't know
because his pronouns are different.
What, them, they?
He says he, she, we,
but I'll let him explain.
All right.
Okay?
See, I don't want to.
I keep saying that.
I'll let Flame explain.
I just want to say that
after the show yesterday,
you and Flame went drinking.
That's right.
Me and Flame and my homie Bonan
from South Africa. He didn't have Bonan on it yesterday. Earlier, he just said you and Flame. What did Flame say?. Me and Flame and my homie Bonong from South Africa.
He didn't have Bonong
on yesterday.
Earlier he just said
you and Flame.
What did Flame say
as you were drinking?
Bonong was there as well
and so was Andrew Schultz
and Taylor was there.
We just had a good time.
All right.
What did Flame say to you
as you kept drinking?
I'm not repeating that.
He actually said
he kept trying to seduce me.
Yes, Flame kept trying to seduce me and Yes, Flame kept trying to seduce me.
And he said, if I keep drinking, I'm going to start, Flame is going to start to look like Wendy Williams to me.
That's what Flame said.
My goodness.
Flame is crazy.
Flame says, I don't care what Flame is.
All I know is Flame is funny.
Okay.
And y'all will realize that in about 10 minutes.
All right.
Flame Monroe, when we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast
Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
DJ, MV,
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. Now this next
guest, she walked in and she said
she has a pistol in her bag. Ladies and
gentlemen, Flame. Flame Monroe.
Flame Monroe. Good morning.
If you've seen my beautiful sister, Tiffany Haddish's Netflix special, They Ready, then you've seen Flame Monroe. Good morning. Have you seen my beautiful sister Tiffany Haddish's
Netflix special, They Ready?
Then you've seen Flame Monroe. Flame, you have
a fan in the room, Taylor?
When we said you was coming, she was like, oh, I love Flame.
That's my only fan here?
Oh, speaking of fans, I brought you guys
some more after you leave.
I brought you a fan, Envy.
This is for you. And I brought you this
one, dear. What's on this goddamn plane?
It's appropriate for you.
I know.
I know it's some bullshit.
Let me see if you can pop it.
Now, it goes the weight of the fan.
How you doing?
The weight of the fan.
Oh, so all the time y'all don't be popping cameras?
Envy already got it.
No, y'all don't pop the cameras.
Envy's been doing this for a long time.
Shut up, man.
All right?
Shut up.
Envy got better dresses at the house than you.
I guarantee it, flame.
Flame, I guarantee it.
Charlamagne, let me see. Do you see what that says, Charlamagne? Mother had you. Mother love you. Mother house and you. I guarantee it, Flame. Flame, I guarantee it. Charlamagne, let me see.
Did you see what that says, Charlamagne?
Mother had you.
Mother love you.
Mother f*** you.
Hey, hey, hey.
I just got Fann to Flame.
That's all you needed
because I got the one that's important.
Can't no bitch do what I do.
There you go.
Now, Monroe, before I ask you
who is Flame Monroe,
I have to talk about this booking email.
HeSheWeBooking. HeSheWe. Let me explain she we gmail.com you see that yes he she we he she we is my pronoun okay because he cashed a check
she get the money we spend the same right here one the man i'm even pimping the woman in me for
25 years marcus parker don't make no money, but Flame Monroe, that bitch is a killer.
But
checks don't come in Flame Monroe.
I had to ask because every time
Tiffany would hit me about you, she would say
he, she, we, and I'm like, I know y'all
friends. That's my own creative pronoun because
the trainees, the gay community is so
up in arms about the whole pronoun, what name
you call me. Did the check clear?
That's all I need to know. Well, who is
Flamin' Ro? Most important
position I have in life right now is I'm a dad.
I have three kids, two 16-year-olds
and 12-year-old,
that are doing brilliantly, excellent in
school. I'm so proud of that. I'm a comedian,
just a well-rounded whole
person. I don't pigeonhole myself to say,
well, I'm this, I'm this. I'm a part of so many groups.
I'm a black man.
I'm a trans woman.
I'm part of the LGBT community.
Only four hours a day, though.
Make sure y'all put that on record.
I'm somebody's daddy.
I'm somebody's son.
Why are you using this name?
I'm confused.
Why only four hours a day?
Because I still enjoy my F to M, my lesbian studs. So I'm only part of the LGBT community when it's a check involved.
See, this shit right here is how I'm going to look right now. When this show is over, this wig is going So I'm only part of the LGBT community when it's a check-in ball. See, this s*** right here is
how I'm going to look right now. When this show is over, this wig
is going to be in the back of the lift, taking me back to my
hotel. So you still sleep with women?
Only. Only? Okay.
Alright, break this down for me.
I need this all broken down. I'm confused,
Flamin' A. No, no, no. I don't need y'all to be confused like that
last set of s*** y'all had on here. Let me
break it down. I am very attracted to
very masculine... We'll get to that I am very attracted to very masculine.
We'll get to that.
I'm attracted to very masculine women and lesbian women that identify as men.
Treat me like a woman all day whether I'm in drag or not, except for the one hour dance.
So 23 hours a day, they're my husband.
So you said like masculine men.
Masculine women. Masculine women.
I'm using characters from movies.
So like Cleo from Set It Off.
Oh, Cleo from Set It Off kept me f***ing wet at the same time.
Oh my God.
But Jada Pinkett at the very end when she cut the braids off with the wife.
That's my look.
That's what my attraction.
So I'm just letting you know.
Young M.A.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I don't know who that is.
I'm old school.
I don't know these young ass rappers.
Okay, you got three kids.
Three.
Two 16s and a 12 year old. Two 16s, not
twins. Two 16s, they twins? No.
Two months apart, I mean seven months apart,
two different baby mamas, both named Tasha.
Oh, it's a real n***a under this wig.
Yeah, I just want you to know.
I had two girls pregnant at the same time.
I'm not saying I'm proud of that,
but I got full custody of all three
kids, so what?
I'm just saying, don't let these a**es in this wig fool you,
you a**e.
Look at that. We show up.
All three of us.
So this was before you decided to transition?
No, no, yeah. No, my children were
conceived, I was like this. I was a little smaller.
But I was like this.
Women are attracted to flame.
The lesbian women, they're attracted to this flame.
But you have to get to know the other person.
So that was always the issue because this was always the hook.
This was the bait.
The hook came later.
And the hook did come later.
So when did you know who you were?
I caught it.
I caught it.
I've always known who I was.
Six years old, I always saw something was wrong.
I didn't need that one.
We grew up in the projects
of Chicago
and I was six years old.
I was a huge
all-in-a-family buff.
I knew I was different.
I knew I was girly
and I liked girl things
and feminine things.
So I watched
all-in-a-family.
It had a drag queen on there.
May she rest in peace.
Her name was
Lori Singleton in real life.
But her name,
the character's name
was Beverly LaSalle.
And Archie saved her life in the show.
Archie saved her in the back of the cab,
gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
He didn't know that she was a drag queen.
She came to the house to pay and thank them,
and she took a wig off.
He said, well, Archie thought she was a prostitute.
He said, well, how do you girls like to be referred to as?
Miss, Mrs.?
She said, how about Mr. and took her wig off.
I went in my bathroom, and I cried for like an hour
because then I knew that I was okay.
I knew I was going to be okay.
It was somebody else like me.
Wow.
So you used to like wearing women's clothes and stuff back then?
Well, I didn't start dressing up as a girl until I was maybe nine or ten, putting on girl clothes.
I would sneak and do it when my mother would leave.
That had to be tough in Chicago though, right?
No, no, no.
This was 70s.
It was much safer then than it is now to be a trans person.
Gotcha.
I'm going to say that the truth.
And to be gay, because we were fist
fight. I was a fight ass. You see them ass?
But everybody lived to tell a story.
Right. Now it's
these young kids, all they want to do is shoot
and kill. Do you think kids are too soft now?
Hell yeah, because of the keyboard gangsters.
Everybody get on the keyboard. I hate you.
I got a hundred dislikes. I don't know
a hundred people. You can't tell me you don got 100 dislikes. I don't know 100 people.
You can't tell me you don't like me.
If you don't mean shit to me, it rolls off me.
So what would your identity be?
This is what it is right here.
Talk to me. All of these labels and titles, you can identify as a blue-orange cow, a pink moon, and a green.
When you get in a bed with somebody, do you want some penis or some vagina?
Because they ain't got nothing else.
I've been around the world three times.
If they got some other shit and I
ain't had it, I feel cheated. Now, what if
there's somebody that just want butthole?
Everybody got an ass. That's what I'm saying.
But everybody has one. That's all they want.
That's not a gender. That's not a sexual
organ. That is your butthole.
But everybody has
a gender, a penis or a vagina.
So are you transitioning now?
I ain't transitioning.
You should point to me in the f***ing face.
What I'm asking?
No, that's a real question.
I can't ask?
I never took off anything.
I've only added on.
I never had a desire to take off.
So you didn't cut your penis off?
It ain't going nowhere.
Did you just tell me she had a hook?
You wanted it out.
Oh, okay.
Now, Flame, you know a thing or two about fake hair.
Oh.
Tell me something.
Oh, my goodness.
Has that man got real hair?
Yeah, that's what I said.
Man, stop, Flame.
Flame, Flame.
Well, show the man.
How you going to put the man on flash?
You got a damn hat on.
That's right.
I ain't got no haircut.
I ain't got no haircut in my hairline.
It'll start right here in the middle of my head.
You're not as young as you used to be.
No, ma'am. I'm 41. You're not as young as you used to be no man
I'm 41
you're not as
you don't have that same
uh
you might not be
Charlemagne the God anymore
you might be like
Charlemagne the
I used to be a God
I will always be a God
oh okay
but I have
I'm gonna have to ask
your wife about that
where she at
now how do your kids
feel about it
this is all they knew
hell when my children were young because I've always been right there every day,
they thought men without breasts were strange.
So I used to live as a woman before they came, prior to my children.
I stopped living as a woman to dress like a guy because,
not just for the respect of my children, but for their friends.
Because little kids are the meanest bastards on the planet
and say the worst stuff to other little kids.
Is it worse to be honest, though?
It's honest, but when you're a kid at six and seven years old, you don't care about
being honest.
You don't want your feelings hurt.
Because why your daddy got **** is the honest question.
Well, they all know I was an entertainer.
All my kids' friends know they're entertainers.
I just do what I have to do to make my children have as normal of a life as possible.
All right, we got more with Flame Monroe.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with comedian Flame Monroe.
Now, how did you meet Tiffany Haddish?
How did y'all hook up?
Oh, my God.
I met Tiffany Haddish at a club in L.A.,
the Comedy Union, where I'm having a show at this Tuesday,
Shameless Flood, with some heavy hitters,
D-Lay, Sherwin and Ray, and Memphis Will.
Y'all make sure y'all watch that.
Tiffany was there.
We were both a lot smaller.
And she didn't know I was a comedian.
And she came up.
She was so cute and innocent.
She says, excuse me, can I ask you a question?
So adorable.
I said, yeah.
She said, are you a drag queen?
I said, I am.
And then they called my name.
I went on stage.
Blazed the room.
Came off.
We just became fast friends.
Tiffany was genuine.
She was pure.
She was just a good girl all the way around. Pure spirit.
And she said that night, she said, Flame, I think
you're a star. If I make it, I'm going to come back and get
you. Heard this from so many celebrities that
I know. Ain't nobody say true to their word
but Tiff. So, Tiffany Haddish,
I absolutely adore you, lady.
Tiffany is a whole woman. That's what you call
a whole woman. So, Flame, what do you think about
the Maligiova situation? I don't think much of it.
I can't keep up with the d*** that sucker.
I ain't gonna keep up
with his.
That's it.
That's all.
Let me say about that.
What did you think
of when they was up here?
I thought that interview
was the most confusing
d*** that I've ever seen
in my whole life.
And I'm part of the LGBT,
ABCDFG, PTSD community.
I am,
because we want
all the goddamn alphabets.
But the world is not going to see us until we see us.
I love you trans sisters before I say this.
All that shit about I'm trans attracted,
there are beautiful women born in the world.
So all that I'm a trans attracted,
I'm attracted to a beautiful woman,
not to sexual organ,
the lies you tell.
In their mentality,
they feel like I'm not with a man
because you got all the feminine parts but you still got that tool that i need that's just real
of it and i know some of my sisters gonna be upset with me but bitch y'all ain't gonna do
but that's why you gotta have that conversation with them all i'm there in situations like that
is to listen just let them let them let them talk because i i be honest with you, I can't tell them they're wrong.
I can only tell them that's not what I learned growing the fuck up.
Well, you know, I've been getting heat to say I'm not a full trans woman.
I didn't learn how to be a girl from watching a boy.
I learned how to be a girl from watching a woman.
My mother, my aunties, my grandmother.
That's real.
That's how we learned how to be girls.
So first of all, let's give the respect back to the women.
We are female impersonators.
I'm never going to be a woman.
Even if I get an SRS,
I still wouldn't be a woman.
It's not going to bleed.
I still have to have
electrolysis in it
before I even get it.
I'm not going to have
any children.
And you still got to lube it up.
It kind of defeats the purpose
because as a connoisseur
of the very beautiful
vajayjay,
vajayjay,
when she wants you,
you know she wants you.
It's running down her legs
like lotion.
Well, see, Flame,
to be honest with you,
that's why more people
need to give a platform to you.
I don't want no platform.
I don't want to be
the spokesperson.
No, but I don't want you
to be the spokesperson,
but God damn it,
can somebody talk
some reality sometime?
Like, that's the reality
of the situation.
But do you know
how much bad s*** I get
and I'm going to get
behind this in my inboxes? So imagine how much we get. We're not a part of the situation. But do you know how much bad s*** I get? And I'm going to get behind this in my inboxes.
So imagine how much we get.
We're not a part of the community.
Oh, Charlamagne, I got about 20 messages.
I want to test Charlamagne's ass up.
I say, Charlamagne is a cool dude.
Y'all just got tight.
Oh, I thought you meant like one of the f***ing.
I was flattered for a second.
Oh, my God.
I was like, oh, what?
It sounded quite 5150. I was like, oh, what? It sounded quite 5150.
I was like, 20 emails.
I'm hiding them.
Oh, the queens are like playing Tetris.
I don't know why they asked you, Charlemagne,
because people will not allow people to be.
And I keep saying, the world is not going to see us.
We keep asking for inclusion, inclusion, inclusion, inclusion.
And if you force feed anything on anyone, you make them hate it.
The gay community, my community
We are forcing
Take us, see us, accept us, let us be with you
You don't need to get down with my lifestyle
That don't mean I can't be your neighbor
I can live next door to this
I ain't got to go to his house for barbecue
He probably don't season his food right anyway
I ain't got to go to his house for barbecue
But we can coexist in the same neighborhood
If I stop trying to put my lifestyle to make him accept what I am.
I don't ask him what he doing.
My business ain't his business.
His business ain't my business, but that ain't what we want.
You know why we could coexist?
Because you like to laugh and talk.
And at the end of the day, that's all everybody wants to do.
If we can laugh and talk, we good.
I don't give a fuck what you are or what you do.
We overly sensitive as a people.
The nation is becoming overly sensitive.
Yeah.
That's what's happening to comedy.
Everything is so sensitive.
You can't say this.
You can't say that.
You can't offend this group.
They're going to start burning flags
in front of your house
and throwing marches and s***.
Oh, my God.
What did you think about Dave Chappelle's...
I thought that Dave Chappelle was wonderful.
I'm a fan of Dave Chappelle's.
And the n***a was spot on with what he said.
He only had one thing wrong
with the LGBT community.
He said that the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender was in the car.
Not true.
Gays drive, lesbians in the passenger seat, bisexuals in the back seat.
S*** is not even in the car.
We on the side car, riding with them.
They only pull us out when it's time for a benefit or some entertainment or parade.
But we are not allowed to go into the boardrooms to make decisions on what's happening to our future,
to our health care, or to our housing, to our mental status.
They don't do that for us.
And there's still a gay white man in America,
still a white man in America.
Yeah, what about patriarchy?
Because I always think, like, in a way it seems like sometimes,
especially when it comes to sports, right,
when you see these men competing in these women's sports and dominating,
I'm like, that don't seem right to me.
That's not right.
That's like you're trying to erase their existence.
Let me sign some shit.
I always say, that's just a man beating a woman's ass for free.
Create a whole thing for trainees to compete and do whatever they want to do.
But stop putting these men against these women.
Now, hold on.
I want to read this headline I saw the other day from Flicky Flame.
Let me get ready for it.
Flame said.
You got your glasses on?
This is the jab in my brain.
Call shade.
Says, Monique, Flame Monroe lashes out at comedian, questions her husband's sexuality.
Who is daddy calling daddy?
Say it again.
Why?
What made you go so hard on Monique?
I didn't.
Now, when you see the full interview, I didn't go hard on Monique.
What I did was told my story, what she did to me.
Because everybody wants to give Monique a pass and feel sorry for Monique.
I think Monique is very talented.
But bitch, don't take money out of my mouth.
You don't know me.
You don't know what I was going through.
And for you to say that you couldn't work with me because of my lifestyle,
you never even asked me my real name.
She said?
This is why I didn't get the job.
She told John Monser, the people
in D.C. at the radio station, because I love radio.
I've always done radio in Chicago, so I wanted
a job in radio. This was 98.
We wasn't even transparent, so for a tranny to
get a job on the radio, it was a
phenomenon. But that's because
you're really good. Thank you.
But she did
that, and so I'm packing a house because
we had already went through everything.
John Miles called and said, hey, Flame, what you do to Monique?
What you talking about?
Man, we had a meeting.
She threw you under the bus,
said she couldn't work with your lifestyle, and woo, woo, woo.
So I hadn't seen Monique.
So that was my first opportunity to have a chance to say it.
But she's on the road with a young lady named Jess Niche,
who I worked with a month ago in Columbus, Georgia.
I told Jess Niche the exact story I told on the thing
and gave Jess Niche my number. I said, Neese the exact story I told on the thing and gave Just Neese
my number. I said, tell her to call me.
She didn't call me. So since you didn't
call me, I just put it out there.
Daddy just happened to be collateral damage.
I was just joking. I don't know that man. I ain't never met
Daddy. I don't know what kind of
relationship they have. I was just
it looks a little
suspect to me.
So you said this was 1998
Yes
What was Monique doing
At the radio stage?
I know she used to do radio
Later on
What was she doing there then?
She was
We had got hired to work
In D.C.
It was John Mons
Monique and Flay Monroe
Okay
And here's the irony
Six months after the show
All the fat girl jokes
Didn't work no more
They bought out a contract
Because the ratings
Had blew
And got rid of her
Wow
Hopefully you and Monique can
squash that and have a conversation.
I think she's so talented and I think
that everything that she has said has blown up
in her face because remember she wanted to
boycott Netflix because they were gender biased
and sexual biased. They already covered everything.
So that kind of shoots
in foot what she said. Give me your Twitter
and Instagram, Flame.
Twitter is Flame Monroe. Instagram is
Monroe Flame. I have a YouTube channel.
Y'all please subscribe. I got a coffee time video
that I do every day. I talk about everything, mostly
politics and just real s***.
Flame Monroe. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Listen up.
It's just in. All the gossip.
The Rumor Report. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well who is it better to learn how to rap from
Than somebody like Black Thought
He has announced that he's doing master classes
At Carnegie Hall
And those classes will be February 3rd through the 5th
With a focus on rising and professional rappers
Between the ages of 18 and 35
There will be 10 rappers Who are taught by Black Thought to focus on lyricism, flow, style, and delivery.
Hey, man, I think that's a great idea.
I think Black Thought would be a master teacher, but I would like some of those kids to know,
I don't give a damn what you think.
You'll never be as good as Black Thought, all right?
Black Thought is gifted.
Yes, you can't teach a talent sometimes.
You can't teach what Black Thought has.
I'm sorry.
It's just, no.
Black Thought is, like, unbelievable when it comes to that rap thing.
Right.
All right, well, if you do want to get tickets for the showcase,
because there will be a showcase performance that will take place
on February 5th at Carnegie Hall's Resnick Education,
winning the tickets for the showcase will go on sale on December 11th,
and applicants can apply for the workshop online through December 6th.
So just so you know, afterward, like I said, there is going to be a showcase.
So that's pretty dope.
If you want to be a rapper, imagine having Black Thought teach you.
And, you know, alongside that, I just want to talk about there's a new play that is coming to Broadway.
And this play is actually also being done by Lin-Manuel Miranda
who did Hamilton.
He is actually doing this
Freestyle Love Supreme.
And so the idea for it was created by Anthony
Veneziali 15 years ago.
I guess it's like a freestyle type of
play. I want to see it because it's coming to Broadway
but it's a hip-hop thing. So I'm just
putting that out there because I just was reading about that
as well. I was actually
went to go see the Tina Turner play, the musical, last
night with my mom. How was that? It was great.
Only thing is, and I've never seen this happen in a
Broadway play before, one of
the actors got injured
in the beginning of the play. She plays
Tina Turner's sister, Mars Rucker.
And it was really, it was
pretty bad. It looked like she hurt her ankle.
You just heard her, like, scream and fall on the floor. I thought it was part of the show at first. Oh, like she hurt her ankle. You just heard her like scream
and fall on the floor.
I thought it was part of the show at first.
Oh yeah,
because if you know anything
about the Tina Turner story,
it was like beating up on everybody.
Yeah,
he wasn't even in that,
he wasn't there,
like it was early on.
It was before she met.
Oh,
so it was the woman.
So who played the sister
for the rest of the show?
They had to bring
one of the other actors out
to play the sister,
but it looked so painful.
I felt really bad.
They stopped the show
for like 20 minutes as they got it back together again, but it was amazing. But it looked so painful. I felt really bad. They stopped the show for like 20 minutes as
they got it back together again. But it was amazing.
My mom had so much fun. So if you have a
chance to see the Tina Turner musical, make sure you do that
too. Alright, now let's
talk about Spike Lee. He's doing a 1980s
hip-hop version of Romeo and Juliet.
He'll be directing that.
It's called Prince of Cats.
I'm into that. Romeo and Juliet was one of my favorite
stories ever growing up. Because I took Shakespeare classes and everything. If you can see that. And I'm into that. Romeo and Juliet was one of my favorite stories ever growing up.
Because, you know,
I took Shakespeare classes
and everything.
So if you can see that version,
I'm sure that'll be
pretty fun to watch.
Now, Eddie Murphy
will be starring
in Beverly Hills Cop 4
for Netflix.
What you think about that?
I love Beverly Hills Cop,
so I'm into that.
Yeah, I mean,
after seeing Eddie
in the Dolomite movie
with Rudy Ray Moore,
I think Eddie can do anything.
Like, we talk about Black Thought being gifted.
Eddie Murphy is gifted.
I'm not mad at that.
And I'm looking forward to seeing his stand-up specials, too.
And I'm glad this stuff is on Netflix.
I'm glad that he's not chasing the Hollywood, being box office.
You know what I mean?
There's something about him being on Netflix that makes a lot of sense.
All right.
Now, Wendy Williams was opening up about her relationship with Eric B.,
you know, Eric B. and Rakim.
And Eric B. recently got arrested on a 17-year-old warrant.
We saw all of that in the news,
but she was doing her Hot Topics segment,
and she talked about knowing him back in her radio days.
Rah, it's so weird that we talked last night
because I had no idea this morning
we're going to be talking about Eric B.
So I never really knew Rob back in the day.
I knew Eric B intimately.
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, it'll play out in my Lifetime movie.
A couple of very severe things happened to me while I was involved with Eric B.
Life lessons, and you'll see it because the movie is a teachable moment.
All right.
This Lifetime movie seems like it's going to be good because that will be featured in that as well.
So I wonder if you're going to be in that
Lifetime special, Charlamagne. I have no
idea. I really don't.
But it's interesting hearing Wendy
tell a lot of these stories because I've heard
all of these stories before. I just can't remember if I heard them
on air or off air.
All right. Now let's
discuss mean tweets. Jimmy Kimmel's mean
tweets has returned and Cardi B,
Lizzo and Chance the Rapper got to read their mean tweets.
Check it out.
Add Chance the Rapper.
More like Chance the Worthless, Spineless, B***less, Soulless, Purposeless, Virtuous Sellout.
Nice Doritos commercially, you piece of s***.
Lizzo, bus passes and happy meals.
Two things that I imagine Lizzo has seen a lot of.
Yeah, I'm a big bitch and I ride a bus.
A cool bus.
Mother******.
I just watched a muted performance of Cardi B
and that bitch just looks loud without any sound on.
How do I look loud?
Suck my a**.
I guess it's funnier when you see the ridiculous things that people write
and you read it out loud.
I mean, I say it all day long.
I know.
People say I have hair plugs.
That's just a mean tweet.
That is just a mean tweet.
I don't know that that's mean.
You got follicles, bro.
For me, it's not I don't have follicles.
Follicle the leader.
Nope.
Yes, you do, man.
The diabolical follicle.
Yo, if you was a rapper, you'd be like the diabolical follicle something hair molecules.
Yeah, you got it, bro.
You look mad Dominican.
I'm not even going to lie to you.
I'm going to start calling you Envy Yankee for real.
You know what, though?
With the plugs, you should put it kind of on the side right here.
It's not a plug.
You should put some there.
If that starts growing back, I know what's up.
What do you like better, butt plugs, hair plugs, or the plug for the coke?
Which one do you like?
Neither.
D.
Neither.
D? Okay. Drop one of Klum Neither. D. Neither. D?
Okay.
Drop one of Klum Bob's.
But in bay.
That wasn't even an option.
Who got time for butt love when you can just get the D?

Neither.

So that was fun for us.
Like one of the first songs,
the first song I ever knew all the words to
was What's Love Got To Do With It.
And I remember being in the car and singing that song
and my mom was shocked. Like, how does she know the words to this song? Because she all the words to was What's Love Got To Do With It, and I remember being in the car and singing that song, and my mom was shocked.
Like, how does she know the words to this song?
Because she used to listen to it so much.
Shout out to everybody at the Tina Turner Play.

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