not your. Oh. Not your birthday. You remember me, ye? Jesus. All right, we're watching the news. We're looking at this Florida building collapse. We'll talk more about that in front page news, but that is really sad. Yeah, I didn't know that building was that big.

You said it was 90-something people trapped under the rubble? Well, they said 99 people are unaccounted for. We don't know where they are, but it's 12 stories, that building. Man. And so far, they said at least three people are dead, but it's 136 units. How does that happen? Like, how does a building just collapse? So I was reading that.

They said that it had been sinking over the years. The building was built in, like, the early 80s, and they said starting in the 90s, they could see, like, it was starting to sink. And I guess, you know, I mean, we'll see. They're investigating it still, but that is something they said had been happening. It's been a slow process, but it was... Did they tell people that before they purchased the condo or rented the condo? I'm sure, you know, you tell me that the building is sinking.

I don't think I'm investing my money in that. Right. Well, right now, I do want to say the cause of the collapse is unknown, but they did say that they had been, that was in the process of getting a recertification, so that's why they had already been doing all of that, but we'll talk more about it. Damn, that's scary.

We got a special guest today. His name is Mike Baer. He is a life coach. Okay, he has a new book out called One Decision, The First Step to a Better Life. He's been here before, and Mike is always good for a great conversation, right? Right. Are we supposed to have Sean Paul today, too?

Yes. Sean Paul is joining us. Sean Paul! I wasn't here for that one. Why do you have to do that? His name is Sean Paul. Sean Paul! Don't you got to roll the Paul?

No, you don't, because his name is Paul. Okay. Sean Paul. I used to think Sean Paul was really like a Puerto Rican from the Bronx pretending to be Jamaican. No, he's definitely fully Jamaican. No, he is. But I don't know why I used to think that. Somebody

told me that and I ran with it. And it's interesting because, you know, we've had Miss Pat here who's the owner of VP Records and founder of VP Records and he was the most successful artist to date on VP Records. Really? Yeah.

That's saying a lot. Yeah, I mean, you know, they did the deal with Atlantic Records, but a lot of people, a lot of artists, dancehall and reggae, started off on VP Records, and he was one of them. Okay, so we talked to Sean Paul today as well as life coach Mike Bear. And what we got on the front page, Nugie? Well, we are going to talk about this collapsed Florida condo that was sinking for decades, as we said.

Yeah, let's get started with that because that is still breaking news. They're still trying to find people. All right, Dramos. Give me a big tune, Dramos. Big tune. What we got? Drake.

Huh? Drake. Okay, I'm sure it's... Well, Drake tucks just like you. That's right. Champagne patois. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Gee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, last night, the Clippers beat the Suns 106-92. They lead the Suns in the series. Two to one. Two to one, yep. Tonight, the Hawks take on the Milwaukee Bucks. Now, what else we got, Yeezy?

Well, we were talking about this Florida building collapse. Right now, they're saying at least three people are dead. As many as 99 people are unaccounted for. It was a 12-story residential building that partially collapsed. Very tragic day. It had 136 units. They said approximately 55 of them collapsed along the Northeast Corridor. And so here is Nicholas Balboa.

He was walking his dog. He was on the scene. And here's what he had to say about the building. You know, I had heard the crash. I felt the ground shake. It felt like an earthquake. It was just horrific. The first thoughts that came to mind were the images of 9-11.

You know, debris everywhere. Just a complete and total mess. I mean, I was thinking to myself, just, you know, how could anybody survive this? They said that building was 40 years old, and it was under, I guess, every couple of years they have to check the structure of the building. So they were actually checking the structure of the building. But I guess if they would have did it maybe last year, maybe they would have been able to help those people.

But so sad. I know, man. I can't help but feel for them. Because imagine just being in your crib, your place of residence, your place of peace, and then everything just around you collapses. Right. Well, they were undergoing a 40-year recertification process that involves electrical and structural inspections. They said that it had been sinking at a rate of about 2 millimeters a year in the 1990s.

And they said the building did have some kind of unusual movement. But the study that they were doing was focused on flooding hazards, not on engineering concerns. And so that's why the mention of the 12-story condominium only appeared in one line of that study when they were looking at all the buildings. Now, Nicholas Boboa also talked about saving a little boy, because like we told you, there's at least 99 people who are unaccounted for. And this is really sad. I heard a voice that can you see my hand and the little boy, little 10 year old, he was sticking his hand up to the debris. You know, we made an effort to try and get to him. Once we were able to locate him, you know, I took my phone and began to flash my light to try and signal somebody to come over. We got a police officer to come over. So then they

began their efforts to get him out. It was him and his mother. You know, we could hear him. We could see him clearly uh mom i we weren't able to see we weren't able to hear her so i i don't know uh what her status is oh man little boy and then they can't even get his mom started structures of a building that has to be done from the beginning no correct like can you go back in and change the foundation of a building make the structure stronger yeah you can you can yeah absolutely there was another woman uh i was watching the news yesterday she said she just got off the phone with her mother who lived in the building and her mother was like hey I'm gonna send your daughter this dress so she

ordered the dress and she hasn't heard from my mother since her dad also lives but her dad was out on business but she's saying the dress is gonna come today from her mom to her daughter and she's like that dress is gonna be it's to mean so much to the family because that's the last thing the mom purchased for the granddaughter. Let's not. Hopefully the mom's still. Right. And when you talk about the building sinking and the foundation, really, you know, parts of Miami are sinking. And so that's part of the issue.

And they were trying to do a study to determine what areas could be most impacted by sea level rise and by coastal flooding. And so I don't know that it was really anything you could do. So this climate change, is it? Parts of the state. But yeah, that's that's been an issue in Miami for a long time. Yeah. And then Pablo Rodriguez, who who was there, he said that the night, him and his mom heard some noises and they had a warning. She just told me that she had woken up around 3, 4 in the morning and had heard like some creaking noises. But that was it.

And then I just thought it was, you know, nothing. She just didn't sleep well and that was it. So she didn't really pay any attention to it either. It was just like a comment that she made offhand. Like that's why she woke up and then she wasn't really pay any attention to it either. It was just like a comment that she she made offhand. Like, that's why she woke up and then she wasn't able to go back to sleep afterwards. But now, in hindsight, you know, you always wonder. And whatever you're going through, trust me, it's always somebody out there going through something worse. The bunch of us woke up this morning with some issues.

But if you put your issues down next to somebody else, I bet you take yours back because you would not want to be in the situation they're in right now. All right. Well, Joe Biden has approved Florida emergency declaration after that collapse. And so a White House statement was released around 1 a.m. The president did authorize the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA to coordinate all disaster relief efforts, which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by this emergency on the local population to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures. All right, and that is your front page news. Definitely prayers up, man. If you're a praying person, pray for them individuals in Miami.

Let's go. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Marseille from Melbourne, Florida, Charlotte's favorite place.

Hey, Marseille. Good morning. Good morning, Marseille. Hi. So I got fired for being black. What? Explain. Yeah.

So my boss, he fired me on the spot because I told him I felt like he was treating me differently than other co-workers and he was like, oh, if you feel like that, okay, you're fired and he affected immediately and I was like, what did I do wrong? What?

That's ridiculous. Yes, and he did it in front of customers, mind you. That's crazy. You approach your boss and you tell your boss, you treat me different than other employees. You should definitely be able to go and speak to your boss about that and come to some type of resolution. He fired you?

He proved her right. Yeah. It happened a little while back ago, and I made a lie about it as soon as it happened because I was just so hurt about it. And it reached out to a few people locally and they called the restaurant, but they didn't really do anything about it. Supposedly the head manager that was working there, he owned the restaurant. He was watching on the cameras of what happened and they said that he didn't care.

Gotcha. I wonder if you have any type of legal action you could take. I was watching on the cameras of what happened, and they said that he didn't care. Got you. I wonder if you have any type of legal action you could take. I don't know. I tried to call Morgan & Morgan, and they said there's really nothing they can do about it because they can't prove that it was, you know, in quality. But I always knew he was treating me differently. He would, like, side-eye me, and I would say good morning to him,

and he would really say good morning back. I thought it was my anxiety. So I had really bad anxiety, so I thought it was just that, but come to find out, at my job that I'm at now, there's somebody else who worked there, too, and they said that they felt like they were being racist, too.

I was like, what? Y'all need to go to your local news and make sure you make some noise about this. I haven't heard the racism part of it yet, though. You said you got fired for being black. I haven't heard. You haven't given us anything to back that up yet. So I asked him, is it because that I'm black? And he wouldn't respond.

He just didn't say why. I came in one day and because my schedule wasn't on. We have this app where we find out what our schedule is. And I wasn't on my schedule. And I just blatantly asked him if it was because I'm black. And he just got really mad at me. And he just kept walking away. And I just kept asking him, what did I do wrong?

So you just asked him. You weren't on the schedule. So you just asked him, am I not on the schedule because I'm black? You do know you work for the company. You hold on, mama. You hold on. I can kind of see why you would fire her. But I understand if you feel like there's not a lot of black people here

and you side IME and doing all of this. Like, what's the reason? I'm just a little exhausted after talking to her. I can totally see why. That was four minutes. Hello, who's this? Yo, yo, yo, Charlamagne Tha God. Peace, King.

Hey. What's up, brother? As first and foremost, I want to say happy Friday to y'all. Woo, happy Friday. We out here. Happy Friday. Turn up. Listen, I want to do both.

I want to get off my chest and get positive vibes, right? Let's do it. Hey, Solomon, you got me. Listen, my past passed away last week. Sorry to hear that, bro. Sorry to hear that. That was Father's Day, man. I appreciate it.

I appreciate it. My condolences. Great man, good man. Now, on my 30s, I was in Miami with my shorty when he passed away. I'm sorry to hear that. Our condolences. Hey, hey, not even that. I had a whole threesome.

Okay. And I got left out. Oh, you got left out of the threesome even that. I had a whole threesome. Okay. And I got left out. Oh, you got left out of the threesome? You ain't have no threesome. Yeah, you actually were just watching. You know what two minus one is, right? Yeah, I was watching real life porn. Why did you say two minus one?

I meant to say three minus one. Hey, hey, boy, you went to Peevis, boy. You're mad bald. Yes, it is. Not only that, positive vibes. I love you, boy. You're mad for her. Yes, it is. Not only that, positive vibes. I love you, Miami. Did you enjoy watching? Yeah, because I left her in Miami and sent God to show you with me.

She's freaky. Okay. All right, bro. Well, congratulations, bro. Don't leave her around your girl because... Yeah, I love your range of emotions. I'm tangled. I love your range of emotions.

You went from mourning your father to celebrating a threesome. Then to being upset about it because you were left out. Lord have mercy. To leave it with a girl. Give it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way? Yes, and Magic Mushrooms, what celebrity is going to be the first one to launch their own line of these magic mushrooms?

All right, we'll get into it next. This is 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 Kaperburg. 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.

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, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, this magic mushroom line is going to be launched by Bob Marley's family. The family's Marley One brand will launch these psychedelic mushroom products later this year in markets where it's legal, like in Jamaica.

And they're doing this in partnership with Silo Wellness. So, could be interesting. And you guys have never tried it. No. No, I was supposed to do it for New Year's Eve as part of a spiritual ceremony, but I punked out. All right, well, this line of products

will include gummies, capsules, and cosmetics. And according to Bob Marley's widow, Rita Marley, she said in a statement, we know Bob would be proud of what we're building. Our family has always revered the ancient history and transformative potential of nature's gifts. I also don't like when people present the shrooms and, like, you know, it'd be, like, in chocolate form

and candy. Like, if I did it, I would want to do it, like, fresh out the dirt. Oh, the tea? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I would like to do it'd be like in chocolate form and candy like if i did it i would want to do it like fresh out the dirt or the tea yeah yeah yeah but i would like to do it fresh out the dirt the mushroom actually like you know as opposed to being in a candy that you want that but you know it doesn't really taste good so that's why people try to disguise the taste in different things but one one way it does taste good if you have it in like a tea i think that's a good way to try and what's the difference between that and the way that edible makes you feel? I don't know. I don't know anything about magic mushrooms.

Mushrooms are more hallucinogenic, so you might have like some hallucinations. Gotcha. And I also feel like it's very mood enhancing, so whatever type of thing you're feeling, if you're not in the best of moods or whatever, and you're not around good people, I wouldn't do it. But if you're around good people

and you're in nature, it's decent. And I would also recommend if you've never done it, to micro-dose so that you don't go overboard. Alright, Muhammad Ali's grandson is set to make his pro boxing debut. Nico Ali Walsh, the 20-year-old grandson of Muhammad Ali, has signed a multi-fight

contract with Top Rank. He'll make his pro debut in a four-round middleweight bout. That's going to happen on August 14th, and it will be televised on ESPN. Big shoes to fill, King. Young King. Yeah, so, listen, we should be watching that. We want to see how he does. Yeah, and I mean, not just Muhammad Ali, you know,

Layla. What would Layla be to that young man? Yeah, he's the son of Rashida Ali Walsh. So his aunt. His aunt. Okay. Alright, Cardi B says that female rappers are the most disrespected. Now, someone had posted, unrelated, but I hate how women rappers can perform and have whole ass choreography routines and still get criticized and picked apart, while men rappers just walk around in one circle, jump up and down, giving the bare minimum with

no criticism at all. Cardi responded, female rappers have to bust their ass on performances, great visuals, hours on makeup, hours on hair, pressure by the public to look perfect, make great music, and yet are the most disrespected. It's always, they not good enough. What's new? It's boring. Why her, not me? Women are critiqued more, but we definitely

clown the hell out of male rappers who just stand around on stage. Because back in the day when Busta and DMX and Method Man Red Man Boy when they changed the game as far as performances. But a woman couldn't do that at all. There's guys that people will still go see and be like, well, I love his songs, so I'll sing along.

But for women, if you did that, they'll be like, she's whack, she's terrible. I don't really hear that as much about men. All right, now Lil Duval has stirred up a Twitter debate. He said, Lil Baby is this generation's Jeezy and the baby is this generation's Ludacris. And so people were commenting on that. Rap-wise, Lil Baby reminds me more of T.I.

Because when T.I. first came out, folks thought he was dope, but slowly but surely, he became that dude. Over time, folks started recognizing how dope Tip was. And it seems the same to me with Lil Baby. Like when Jeezy dropped her screeches

watching Entrapper die, that was just a different movement, man. Not saying T.I. wasn't a movement. It just took a while for people to catch on to Tip, but Jeezy was out the gate. These comparisons always are, you know, people are always going to debate that, especially when you have favorites.

All right. DaBaby and Ludacris, I can see that. I guess the animation, how animated DaBaby is. Yeah, I can definitely see that. And DaBaby can really rap, just like Ludacris can really rap. Now, the baby's also launched his own fashion line with Boohoo Man. And so they said it's coming sooner than you think. Men's Fashion Magazine actually reported this capsule was co-created by the baby over virtual meetings.

Between Charlotte, North Carolina, and Manchester, England, it's 100 pieces. They expect to be included in this limited edition collection. They said it perfectly embodies his bold, creative, and colorful style. So it's going to drop on June 30th. Okay. Check that out and get some of that. And he also put out a new song. Dropping a Clues Bond for the 704, Queen City, Charlotte.

The baby, what's happening? I haven't seen the whole video, but I saw a snippet of it. So, I mean, that's another reason there's, you know, the baby ludicrous comparisons, because the baby's videos are always so animated. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, every hour, we're playing a new song. Doja Cat?

Yes. Featuring The Weeknd? That's right. You right. No, you right. You right. Doja Cat got a record with The Weeknd? Yeah, and it's called You Right. Oh, that's what it's called? Yeah, it's called You Right. I thought y'all were just talking to each other. No, no, it's called You Right. Okay.

You never heard anybody say that to me before. Well, you right? You right. I ain't never heard anybody tell nobody you right. You right. All right. You left. All right, so we'll get that on in a second.

And we got front page news. What are we talking about? Derek Chauvin is going to be sentenced for the murder of George Floyd. So let's make sure we pay attention. All right. Mr. Breakfast Club, good morning. Let's go. It's time to wake up. Yeah. Derek Chauvin is going to be sentenced for the murder of George Floyd, so let's make sure we pay attention. All right. Mr. Breakfast Club, good morning. Let's go.

It's time to wake up. Yeah. It's the Breakfast Club. It's going down. Hey, it's Angela Yee. Don't let weak hair hold you back.

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.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning on this Friday. I ain't hit a weekend on that record. I was listening to. He was on it? Yes. Okay.

You right. You right. You right. Let's get some front page news. Last night, the Clippers beat the Suns 106-92. The Suns lead the series 2-1. The Hawks take on the Bucs tonight. Now, what else we got, Ye? All right.

Well, Derek Chauvin will be sentenced, and that is for the murder of George Floyd. That was the murder conviction he received on April 20th. He was found guilty in all three charges, which is second degree murder, third degree murder, and second degree manslaughter. Now, according to Minnesota law, he will only be given a sentence for the severest of those three because they all arose out of the same behavior.

He also has no criminal history of conviction, so they presume that his sentence will be a prison term between more than 10 and a half years and 15 years. They also know that he's planning to appeal, and he does have that right to do that. So what they did say is they know for sure that he's going to go to jail. Is it just me, or does it seem like quiet for this Derek Chauvin sentencing? Like, I knew it was happening today,

but I would think as high profile as this whole George Floyd situation has been, it would be a lot more noise around this situation. It's been very quiet. I feel like we should be screaming, Hey y'all, Derek Chauvin over here getting sentenced today. Well, that's why we're making sure that we talk about it.

Word. It seems like they vandalized two George Floyd statues. It seems like that was louder. One of them was in Brooklyn. One was Brooklyn, one was in Newark. That seems like that was louder

than the whole case. By the way, 10 to 15 years would be a travesty of justice. 10 to 15 years for the murder of George Floyd. That's what they're saying he's going to get? No.

That's what they're assuming it's going to be, somewhere between that. For cold blooded murder? You know, prosecution asked for a 30-year prison sentence, but they're thinking it's going to be somewhere between 10 and a half and 15 years. It's black people in jail doing double that for marijuana. And marijuana is legal all over the country. Right. And that's exactly what local activist the Kima Levy Armstrong said.

I think about all the African-American men who are in prison for 25 years to life for nonviolent drug offenses. I compare that to what Derek Chauvin did. It definitely shows that we have two systems of justice in this country. That's right. All right. Now the CDC has also extended the eviction moratorium. It's now July 31st.

So it's another 30 days that you have where you cannot get evicted after the COVID-19 pandemic took hold of the country. So they're assuming this is also going to be the last moratorium. Should they put it to when? What date? July 31st. Right. And that is for federally backed mortgages. So just get ready to know that after that, you know, it is.

And if you're a renter, you can't. But you have until July 31st. All right. Now, Pennsylvania police had to stop an exorcism in Home Depot. Okay. That's what I'm talking about. In the lumber aisle. Now, the police claim they were called to Home Depot on report of disorderly people having an exorcism.

It was for the dead trees. Lumber mad expensive right now, too. of disorderly people having an exorcism. It was for the dead trees. The dead trees. Lumber mad expensive right now, too. Lumber is dumb high for price-wise, but go ahead. The exorcists were escorted out of the building, but they said it's a very unusual thing that happened. I didn't know that you do exorcisms on the dead. I thought the whole point was you do exorcisms on the living to get the demons and the devil out of them.

I didn't know you did it on trees. Do you have audio? I thought you did it on people. Especially dead trees. No, we don't have audio. Okay. Now, one person said on social media, how does a wood exorcism happen in 2021

and not a single person in Home Depot video this much? Not one goddamn person. For entertainment, I need answers. Y'all videotape every damn thing else, but you ain't videotape people doing an exorcism in Home Depot on some lumber? My goodness. Alright, well that is your front page news. Alright.

Thank you, Miss Yee. Now what we doing when we come back? Who we doing, Eddie? Hey, producer. Why do y'all not know what's going on? Because usually we get a sheet of what's going on today. What are you pointing at? Mike Bear. Coach Mike Bear. Oh, okay, yes. Life coach Mike Bear.

He has a new book out, One Decision, The First Step to a Better Life. Mike is always a great conversation, and I can't wait to talk to him. He'll be joining us next. All right, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, guys.

I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for

Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

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. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show. Yep, Charlamagne the God, Angela Yee. We are The Breakfast Club and we got a special guest here who's got a new book out called One Decision, The First Step to a Better Life. Mike Baer is back on The Breakfast Club. How are you, sir? It's good to be here.

It's great to have you, man. One Decision, The First Step to a Better Life. What is that one decision? Oh, man. I mean, we're one decision away from everything from getting in trouble making money to being in a good relationship bad relationship and it's like why do we get an STD getting pregnant yes it's all about it and we make over 30,000 decisions a day. And we often don't look back at our decisions until we go, oh, my God, that was

the worst decision I ever made. So I was in this book. I just wanted to write out and help people figure out for themselves how to make decisions that lead to a better life. And the last time I was here, I had you guys do an exercise. So maybe I'll have you do an exercise while I'm here. I'm with it because, you know, I always say, man, destiny is not a matter of chance. It's a matter of choice. But it's like, yo, when you're younger, you don't always make the best choices because you don't really have all the information. Or you make decisions based upon who you hang out with. Yes.

Right? That happens for a lot of people. You know, it's just like if you hang out with people and make more money, you typically make decisions that make more money. If you hang out with people who do drugs, you typically make decisions that do drugs. But it's not until we get in trouble or there's a crisis that we sit back and we go, oh, my God, I need to do something. So I want to help people figure out ahead of time how to set themselves up. I didn't even ask you how are you, man. I'm good.

No, seriously, how are you? None of us are the same as we were before the pandemic. So how are you? I'm good, man. Okay. Yeah. Like, so one of the businesses I have is a treatment center. So we used to have like, it's called cash centers.

We used to have maybe 80% drug addicts and alcoholics. And now it's like 80% mental health. Wow. Yeah. So a lot of people in our lives have really struggled with that. So we're seeing a huge increase. But I think everyone went through a hard period of time. Absolutely.

A lot of times the drug use comes from the mental health issues that they haven't dealt with. So it's a lot of self-medicating. And a lot of people stop blaming. They realize now they're not blaming COVID anymore. Yeah. You can blame COVID for like 18 months. Right. But now you got gotta like figure out your

life so but i'm good i'm out here it's it's gay pride week this is the gayest thing i'm gonna do all week you leaned out too i did i've been doing jiu-jitsu like five days a week okay yeah like i'm a big guy i'm 65 270 but i honestly don't think i was a good fighter or could defend myself like i don't think people picked on me because I'm a big guy. But like I actually, I feel like I probably would claw someone. I don't, you know like if it really came down

to the moment I wouldn't be like, Come on Mike. I'm not a boxer. But you would do jujitsu. But now, but now I do jujitsu and I have a lot more confidence when I walk down the street. Way to reinforce stereotypes Mike.

You claw somebody in a fight? Jesus. Well, now let's talk about seeing those obstacles as opportunities, right? That's something that you discuss in the book. And you also personally talk about things you've done in your own life where you had obstacles. But instead of saying, I can't write this book because, you know, I'm dyslexic, you'll say, okay, you know, actually the reason why I can do these things, I see the opportunity in it.

Or even overcoming being addicted to crystal meth. Some people might feel like, you know, I can't do anything because I'm a drug addict. But having to make those decisions and seeing those opportunities, how important has that been for you, would you say? Yeah, I mean, I think until you get to the other side, it's really hard to help other people. So I think God or universe has created issues for myself

that have been obstacles so like being addicted to drugs like we talked about last time like crystal meth I didn't talk about last of being gay like that sucked that was like an awful experience for me for many years of my life but I can't blame that anymore I gotta go okay that's an opportunity to be stronger, to be more focused, to help others, to tell my story, right? So you have to kind of look at, is it an obstacle or is it an opportunity? If you're

in an obstacle, you get kind of stuck being a victim. What sucked about being gay? The fact that you just couldn't be free about it at the time? I don't know what it was. When I was growing up, I saw RuPaul and Village People. And I didn't feel like close to either one of those. The representation is what you needed to see.

Yeah, I went to play basketball at Fordham. So I didn't know what it was. There really wasn't social media. I kept trying to hook up with women. You didn't like it? It just felt weird. You know what's so interesting about that? Because I'm just thinking about the way society is structured.

There is no space that teaches gay people about their sexuality because it's always man, woman. That's what they show. You know what I mean? And if it does, it's in the clubs or the bars or it's camp or it's like eccentric and flamboyant. There's not a lot of like, hey, let's talk about this. And I went to Catholic school where they taught you about a gay, like graded on an talk about this and i went to catholic school where they taught you

about a gay like graded on an exam about whether being gay was a sin right what that stuff like but again it's like cool i get to take that past pain and use it as an opportunity to help others and it makes you a lot more empathetic to other people too when you've been through things like that did you ever feel like someone was going to out you? Yes. I had a fake girlfriend. Her name was Heather. And I used to bring her to the dances.

You know, I went with the homecoming queen. I was Captain Basketball. I bring this girl Heather around who's really attractive. She went to another school. Well, right then, MySpace started happening

and Heather met one of the football players at my high school. And Heather told the football player that i was gay yikes yeah so that's how and then everyone was calling me like hey man this is up man everyone's saying you're gay bro like that rumors and then in the meantime i'm just like oh man like what's up is terrible heather was a terrible beard

that was a bad decision. That was a bad decision. You picked the wrong one. You can't predict and control what other people think. When did you guys know you were straight? Are you straight? I think so. As far as I know, I haven't met the right guy yet to make me feel otherwise. I'm married, Mike.

Alright, I'm not. I never thought about it. I never questioned it. I never thought about other women in that way. I've always really enjoyed penis. Penis. I didn't want to curse. But yeah, I've never even been attracted to women.

So I guess. Have you had women hit on you? Yeah, absolutely. And what do you say? I say, oh, I have a boyfriend. Got it. Do you like how it feels? It, oh, I have a boyfriend. Got it. Do you like how it feels? It's fine to me.

It doesn't bother me. I feel like the same as if men hit on me. It doesn't really affect me. I think men, for some reason, get more offended. And I also feel like guys like girls who are bisexual or gay. No girls are turned on by their guy like in other guys. So I feel like it's changing, though. I was having a conversation at this movie screening the other day.

I won't say her name, but she just found out her boyfriend is gay. And she said she's not bothered by dating a guy who's bisexual. How about you? Have you been hit on? Yeah, I've been hit on. Definitely been hit on. How does it feel? You want to expand on it?

The time I got hit on, I just told him, like, I'm not accepting tickets to this basketball game. That's how they tried to hit on me. Oh, really? Yeah, by offering me tickets to the game. That's how they code. Well, I was clueless at first, but then when I didn't come to the game, like, the person got mad, like, mad, mad.

Like, how could you stand me up? And it was the language. And then he actually sent a woman to come speak to me to find out why I didn't come to the game. And that's when I started putting, connecting the ties. I thought that was code for I'm not gay when you said, I don't want tickets to the game. Oh, no, no. He really offered me tickets to a basketball game. It was a basketball game.

I didn't know he really asked you to go to a game. I thought that was your way of saying, I'm not going to that game. No, no. He really offered me tickets to the basketball game. What about the time you were in the revolving door and a guy was in the thing with you, pressed up against you? That was just an accident, G. That was just a cuddling moment.

It had nothing to do with nothing. That doesn't sound like an accident. All right, well, don't move. We have more with Coach Mike Bay. And when we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ En Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Happy Friday.

We're still kicking it with Coach Mike Bayer. Charlamagne? What are some of the tools in making the best decisions for yourself? Well, I'll do this with you. You got a pen and paper? Yeah. Sure. And you're just going to put what comes to mind.

Okay. Okay, that's it. It's just a matter of what your brain says. So it's authentic to you. I want you to just quickly write down what is the best decision you made this year in 2021? All right, you got one thing. And then what I want you to write next is what's a decision you made this year that's causing the most anxiety? And then lastly, I want you to write out what is a decision you really feel is the best decision you ever made in your life. So first, we're going to go through what is the decision this year that you felt like was the, what was the first one, the worst or the best? I'm the best.

I would say opening a coffee shop. I'm opening a coffee shop next month, and I started my own coffee brand, but I'm really excited about it and things are going well. So I think it was a good decision for me to just jump out there and make it happen instead of just thinking about it. To push yourself. That's awesome. How about you? Embracing the full totality of my existence, every version of myself that I've ever been. The young me, the teenage me, the 20-something-year-old me, 30-something-year-old me, every version of myself, embracing the full totality of my existence. Good, bad, ugly.

And do you remember a moment when you decided that you made the decision, I'm going to accept all of me? Yeah, that was three days ago. Being totally honest. Just like, you know, people always trying to weaponize, like, the old versions of me versus the new versions. And just, you know, these conversations I always always having my therapist and my sacred purpose coach and just them telling me like because you keep trying to suppress that part of you but that part of you

is what brought you here so you have to embrace the full totality of all your existence so it's almost like making a decision not to have fear around any part of you. Absolutely. Past or present. Absolutely. Okay. Absolutely. How about in terms of bad decision or worst decision? Well, you said cause anxiety, but I still don't think it was a bad decision.

But I did buy another new house that I have to fully gut rehab. And I've been having a lot of issues with the neighbor calling Department of Buildings and, you know, getting it together. But I don't think it was a bad decision. It's just causing me some stress. How about you? The thing that caused me the most anxiety is embracing the full totality of my existence because, you know, those are parts of me that were broken. You know what I mean? Those are parts of me that was, like, really dealing with a lot of trauma

and issues that I was suppressing. What's the hardest thing in that for you? Is there, like, one story, one event, one claim? I mean, it's a bunch of different things. Because it's just like, you know, you think about a bunch of different things that actually really traumatized you that you've just been suppressing and things that you don't want to remember. You know what I mean?

But you have to in order to really get to a place of wholeness, I think. So you're saying, are you afraid of the consequences of that? Or are you afraid of just... No, no, not the consequences, just dealing with it. Because it makes you feel weak. It makes you feel vulnerable. You know what I mean? Like, it makes you feel uniquely tender.

Especially when I think about stuff even with my pops. Like, I love my dad. You know what I mean? But it's like, you know, I often get mad about things that my dad used to get mad at me about that he he would get mad at me for things he didn't teach me gotcha things like that okay so now in terms of for you angela with the anxiety and for you accepting all parts of you what is the opportunity that you have in your life today that maybe you didn't have before like is the

opportunity to call the neighbors and get coffee is the opportunity to look at the situation differently and feel blessed because you're able to buy a house like what would actually be the opportunity well I've looked at it differently already where I've told myself you know I'm fortunate that I'm not in a situation where I have to move I own the house that I'm in now so it's not like I have to rush out and be somewhere and I won't have a place to go. I have, you know, worked out an agreement, hopefully, with the neighbor. And I have to accept the fact that it's out of my control and all I can do is handle what I can handle. So that means, you know, making sure that everything is proper and in order and just being patient.

Gotcha. So you're fine then. And this isn't really a problem for you. I mean, I still think about it. It's still stressful because it's money that I'm having to spend and not being able to get because I had anticipated being able to move at a certain date, and now that date has been pushed back. But it's manageable. Okay. And how about you? What's the opportunity?

The opportunity is having the luxury of healing. You know what I mean? Because I think generations before us didn you know, didn't have this. They didn't have the resources, the therapy, the sacred purpose coaches, the life coaches like yourself. So it's the it's the luxury of healing and the opportunity to teach. Right. Because even if I think about any and everything that I've done in my life, you know, that that's so-called good, so-called bad. It all provided me with experiences that I'm able to share with the next generation so they can make better choices and better decisions.

Gotcha. And what is the best decision either one of you wrote down in terms of your life? I'm changing my career. And, you know, I did that when I started doing radio like 17 years ago. I was doing marketing before that, and I made a decision in the midst of going through like a difficult time in my life where, you know my boyfriend cheating on me physically caught him and then at that time I also had gotten laid off from my job so all this happened at once and then that's when you know I moped around for like a couple of days but

then I made a conscious decision to you know change a lot of things in my life and that's how it even happened for me I should change career how about you healing healing making decisions that's. Going on a journey of healing. Everything. Mindfulness in every form, from therapy to having a sacred purpose coach to eating better, working out. What is a sacred purpose coach? Sacred purpose coach is like a spiritual therapist.

Gotcha. My name is Yadi Alba, and she's just amazing. So it's just like it's- She sounds spiritual. Oh, man. No, Yadi's incredible. So it's like, you know, it's psychological, but it's rooted in spirituality and God and things of that nature.

So yeah. Being connected. Yeah, so just going on a journey of healing was the best thing for me. I got you. And are you proud of yourselves? Yes, I am proud of myself. I think sometimes when I do panels or when I'm doing like one-on-one conversations and people run down things that I've accomplished,

I am proud of myself for what I have done. I know I have a lot more that I need to do, but I'm really great at talking to myself and working through things that I need to work through and always trying to make sure that I elevate and looking at the bright side of things. I'm a really optimistic person, and I'm a pretty, in general, happy person,

so I am proud of myself myself even though it's hard to say it sometimes i don't know that's a good question i never thought about it you know what i mean i you know i still think i deal with uh a lot of imposter syndrome in a lot of ways because you hear so many different opinions about yourself especially when you're a public figure right so you don't know what to believe so i just always stick to what my dad would tell me you're never as good as they say you are you're never as good as they say you are. You're never as bad as they say you are. And I've had it both ways.

I hear a bunch of negative stuff, and I'm like, who the f*** are they talking about? But then I hear a bunch of positive stuff, and I'm like, who the f*** are they talking about? You know, and that really hit me when I gave the commencement speech at South Carolina State. This dude, like, you know, the president, was just talking about all my different accomplishments

and philanthropy, and he was going on for, like, 10 minutes. And I'm literally sitting there, who the f*** is he talking about all my different accomplishments and philanthropy, and he was going on for like 10 minutes, and I'm literally sitting there, who the f*** is he talking about? It's so interesting, because this is like an iconic show, right? I mean, you both would agree, right? I hope so. I mean, the show is like iconic in New York. We've achieved a lot.

Achieved a lot, have a huge reach, people care what you have to say, they care what you're doing in your life. And that's pretty rare. Right. Like, so for whatever reason, universe created this moment where both of you have an enormous reach that hits millions of people. And I think that's like a testament to the decisions you've made to be yourself and to push yourself and to be fearless. And, uh, and some people, they need to make drastic decisions. Someone probably listening right now is about to make a decision

that could end them up in prison or jail or hurt someone. Or dead, yeah. Or dead. And it takes taking a step back and going, let me look at all my decisions in my life. Let me see what decisions have led to a better life. Let me look at what decisions have led to a part of my life that's not so great. Because from my experience, until we slow down

and take a look at our life, we're just on this like, we're on MapQuest with no destination. And we need to look at our life and go like, wow, this is what like God or universe has created for us to tell us that we're on the right track. All right, well, don't move. We have more with Coach Mike Bay.

And when we come back, It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Happy Friday. We're still kicking it with Coach Mike Bayer. Yee.

Have you ever worked with somebody who you thought was just genuinely a terrible person? Yes. So what do you do in a situation like that? I mean, nowadays I back out. But a lot of the people I've worked with are amazing, right? So we're talking about... Yeah, I'm sure it's rare cases that you're like... It's rare cases.

And it's usually like a very narcissistic male who like literally is so about the wealth and the like private jets and like naming people all the time and you're just like stuck at dinner and they're yelling at the waiter you know it's like that or it's someone that has a lot of power and will only be a victim of life because i don't like when people have a lot of negative energy and everything they see the negative in it and they complain and money and that's an interesting thing about money is a lot of people i know that are very wealthy are like that i like i cannot be around somebody like that it brings my whole state down brutal i went on kelly osborne's podcast and i did her intervention like i don't know it was like 12 years ago

it was so brutal that literally i felt like i needed to sleep for three days and now like we're cool but back then i was, who is this girl? She was terrible. Called the cops on me. What? Like, oh, yeah. Oh, the interventions are crazy. I did interventions for 10-plus years.

So I would be flown out on tours or with clients to help them get sober out of crises. So with her, her family hired me. Right. And she was just so difficult. You know, she was like, she grew up with Ozzy Osbourne. So she was a pro. She was, like, ready for battle as soon as I walked through the door. It's like an exorcism. Yeah. Is there a cure for narcissism and if so what would be the one decision a

narcissist has to make to not be a narcissist? I don't know if there's a cure for narcissism. I agree. And I don't know that all people are good honestly like I used to and but the more i mean i've been doing this 18 years now and i just think some people just there's something wrong with their brain yeah yeah yeah because they don't have any ability to have empathy or compassion and those are the types of people you want to stay away from you know those are types of men that i've seen women end up in some really bad spots with and And you can't save everybody, huh? Who, me? Yeah.

No. No, I stopped doing intervention once at the end of my career. Once I had guns pulled on me, I was like, I don't want to do this. I had a guy chasing me with a motorcycle. I remember I was like, I wasn't even getting paid that much in LA. And I was just like, why am I doing this? I'm literally entering the trend. And the show intervention messed up all interventions.

Because by the time we got, it used to be so easy. But then the show intervention came out, so every family tried to do it ahead of time. They all thought they could do an intervention. So by the time you got the person, it was like they were ready for battle. They knew it was coming. They weren't going to go, and they would go to any length. There's a great black philosopher by the name of Project Pat who once said, don't save them, they don't want to be saved.

And that's what you got to leave it at sometimes. Sometimes, yeah. I mean, you can always raise someone's bottom That's what we say like They could always raise their bottom. I didn't even think of it like that. Oh, my goodness. But, like, it always can get worse. People always go, oh, they happened to hit rock bottom. But it can always get worse. Like, every time someone goes, I hit rock bottom, you're like, yeah. There's a bottom under that. There's a bottom under that and under that and under that.

So, you know. All right. So, you said people would try to do interventions themselves, right? So, what are some of the things you need to do in order to. You got to know where you're sending them. A lot of people want to sit down with someone without a solution you have to have the solution you have to know a therapist or treatment center or doctor something you can't just sit down and they say yes i you know help me and you just go okay cool now we'll figure out your help right or you you don't ask them to look up what they need so that's one

two you have to figure out the leverage Like what's the reason what's their motivation because there's only two things that motivate people consequences and pain Wow, that's it Consequences if they don't make the choice an emotional pain of staying the same sure love helps the whole thing can be packaged in love But it's consequences and pain you think that's the only two things that can motivate people? That motivate drug addicts. Wow. What about honesty with compassion? Meaning like, hey, you know, you compassionately tell somebody they need to lose weight or something, I don't know.

Yeah, no, I mean, I think there's a difference between someone who's spiraling out of control and someone who needs a healthy adjustment. Got you, got you. I'm thinking more of the severe, like, how do you help someone who's like addicted to coke yeah yeah and is throwing their life away and selling drugs and what have you got you that makes but i could tell you the people that i intervened on that were

homeless were more difficult than the people who i had with money like the homeless people were busier than anyone at least they claimed and they ride off on their bicycle and like not accept help Wow ridiculous Explain the concept of best self and anti self so best self is you know? It's got our parents give us names our best self is that part of us that like mine's a wizard Mm-hmm. That's why I got wizard on my arm. I've wizards all over my house. I remind myself So it's like authentic funny compassion. We all create our best selves. And we create a character. That's what I do with my clients. And we also create an anti-self, which is that part of us that's getting in the way of growing or evolving.

So your anti-self could be showing up in your life, Charlemagne, when you're being critical or caring what people think or beating yourself up. And so what I do instead of just going, stop beating yourself up, is I create a character that connects to your brain as mindfulness. Right. When you add a little humor to it, it's easier. We're already so critical of ourselves. So I create an anti-self. And so what we do is we kind of say, how are you going to walk in more in your life as your best self?

And how is your anti-self showing up? So like a Lenard versus, you know, Charlemagne. That's right. Right, but it may be like this other version, because I'm sure there's like a hybrid of all that. Like, I don't think that you show up here and you're not yourself. It's just there's a part of you that gets in the way from you evolving. And usually it's formed early on in life,

and it just morphs into different areas of our life as we get older. But I love creating like kind of like characters because it works with kids, works with teenagers, adults. It's kind of fun. It's a defense mechanism, too. It protects you. Sometimes you create the. I know for me, I create the character to protect the real me. Right.

Yeah. The authentic self. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I do the mirror exercise. And I look in the mirror and tell myself, you are smart. Do you?

Yeah, I do. I don't say you are smart. You know what I'm saying? I looked in the mirror too before I came in here. But I do. I talk to myself in the mirror. Yeah, you're right. It works.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do. For sure. Absolutely. It works. As corny as it sounds. No, it does. It really works.

It does. Because we don't get to do that throughout the day. Right. And if we're looking for other people to give us those affirmations, man, we're going to dry out. Yeah. Because all of a sudden our self-esteem is based upon what other people think of us. And I'm with you. I mean, I think looking in the mirror and saying stuff is magic.

I've never done that. No, it's good. It's really good. Well, my man Mike Baer, the book is out right now, One Decision, The First Step to a Better Life. Good to see you, man. Thanks for having me on, man. Always, man. Thank you.

Tell them where to find you. Coach Mike Bear on Instagram, my podcast, Always Evolving, which I would love either one of you, if you're ever in L.A., to come out. I love that. I love that name. Always Evolving. It's at my house. I'll be in L.A. next month.

It's very comfortable. Come out. Come on my show. Let's do it. And then, yeah, One Decision is available anywhere books are sold. I did the audio. I know you do the audio for your audiobook. All right.

Going good. Definitely do that. You got to come out when I come. We're doing a roller skating party. Let's do it. Okay. Yeah, I'm down. Disco Oasis.

I'll be the tallest one out there. It's Mike Bass, The Breakfast Club. 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, Virgil has gotten a Louis Vuitton and Nike Air Force 1 collab. Are you excited for that? Because I saw these posted online. And apparently there's going to be 21 different colorways. There's also going to be the dunks as well. So are you excited for those? They're going to do 50 different Nike dunks.

Yes, I hope. Yeah, I am. I was going to say, I hope they go through Louis Vuitton because I know a couple of people at Louis Vuitton where I could get them and not have to wait on crazy lines. But, yeah, I think it's dope. I think what Virgil's doing is pretty dope. He's crossing the coaches.

And I think he's making some great stuff. Some of his stuff I can't F with, but the Air Force 1s are pretty good. Yeah, look, everything's not for everybody. That sounds all too rich for me. How much putting Louis Vuitton print on Air Force 1s is going to jack the price up? Well, you figure Air Force 1s, no price was released yet. But Air Force 1s now are like $79, I believe $80 for Air Force 1s. Reasonable. Very reasonable.

So I figure with the Louis Vuitton stamp now, they probably will be around $699. Hell no. Ain't no way in hell. For what? Just to have an LV on your sneaker? Let me tell you something. Those never go on sale, okay? Louis Vuitton never has a sale. What's wrong with your magic marker? You can't put an LV on your sneaker?

On your Air Force 1? You can. It won't look the same. All right, now Kanye and Yeezy are suing Walmart for their foam runner shoe ripoff. That's what Charlamagne would do. He said, I'll make my own. That's $24. That is not what Charlamagne would do. $24.49 is actually called the Summer Beach Shoes foam runner. That's not what Charlamagne would do.

Charlamagne would text Natina and say, Natina, can you give me some free Yeezy? Drop one of those bombs from Natina, okay? And sneak everybody at Yeezy because they keep me with free Yeezy. A company spokesperson said the product referenced in the complaint is not sold by Walmart, but by a third-party marketplace seller. So they said they're reviewing the claim and will respond in court as appropriate after we have been served with the complaint. Oh, that's good. I get all my Yeezys free. Thank you, Yeezy.

All right, now, Tory Lanez was in an Uber car crash, and he thinks that it was no accident. He tweeted out, strange. It almost felt like someone knew to crash into us. What? What? Tory Lanez, he feels like it was a setup. Listen to what he said.

We almost just died. We got in a car accident in a Uber. Oh, my gosh, bro. Yes. I would like for Tory to expound. I would like to know why he felt that way. I don't know. I guess he's in an Uber.

He feels like he was targeted somehow. How would they know he was in an Uber, though? I don't know. All right. Now, it looks like Miss Jones, Envy, that's your girl. Miss Jones was on Nor, that's your girl. Miss Jones was on Nori's Drink Champs podcast. Mm-hmm.

And she talked about, big pun, giving her some of his publishing. I had no idea he put me down on his publishing. Wait, wait. Like his regular, like all his publishing? I get checks on songs. Should I be saying, wait now, hold a minute. Hold up a minute, wait a minute. I ain't trying to f*** up my s***, but. I mean, saying? Wait now. Hold a minute. Hold up a minute.

Wait a minute. I ain't trying to f*** up my s***. I mean, if it's legal, it's legal. It's done. It's done. It was his choice. He put me down. Like, I live.

Jalen, you live off of the royalties of Big Pun. Yeah, that's dope. She always said that her and Big Pun had a great relationship. Not a sexual relationship. That just Pun was like her brother. And always took care of her, always looked out for her. So I guess part of that was, hey, here's some of my publishing. Make sure you're always good, which is dope. All right.

Well, Ms. Jones is telling a lot on there. Did you talk to her? I didn't talk to her after. I asked her how the interview goes. She was like, you know what? Nori does great. He makes you drink a lot. And she talked about something that I didn't know that Nori

actually gave me a sneak peek about her relationship with Tupac. So Pac came and we're in the crowd. We're walking and I'm with Moni and he stops and he looks at us and then we know what the look means and we figure it out.

And it was a good night. And that was it. Jalen, I'm sorry. So Pac and Moni had some relations. Oh no, it was just just the three of us. Just the three of us just talked for a long time. Just the three of you.

Just the three of us just talked for a long time. Alright, they just talked for a long time. No, they didn you. The three of us just talked for a long time. Yeah, so. Okay, they just talked for a long time. No, they didn't talk. Well, they did talk. Well, that's what she just said. Tell us more, girl. Let's go.

But I guess they were inferring that they allegedly had a threesome with Miss Jones. Now, I heard her just say they just talked for a long time. Moni Love and Tupac is what she was inferring.

But where was Moni during that? Moni in the middle. Oh, my God. Stop, stop, stop, stop. Boo, boo. Throw tomatoes at this guy. Boo. The most obvious one.

Boo. No, but shout to Nori, man. Drink Champs is amazing. If you don't know who Miss Jones is, Miss Jones is the, she was an artist and then she did radio for years. She's the one that got me my start doing radio, morning radio. And of course, Moni Love is an artist, rapper. I love Moni Love.

She's a legend when it comes to this music industry, so shout out to Monie Love. I'm looking forward to that episode of Drink Champs. I love hearing stories from any and all OG radio personalities, so I'll be definitely tuned into that episode of Drink Champs, and you can catch Drink Champs on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network available everywhere you listen to podcasts. Now, who is

Jalen? Jalen's her son? Yeah, Jalen's her son. I think Jalen's like 16, and she brought her son with her to the interview. So that's why she said, Jalen, close your ears. Okay, well, that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss. You ain't got no more tea, Envy? Envy spilled tea all over the place just now, didn't he? Oh, boy, let me tell you something.

There's a tea spiller. Between the two of you. Ain't no two of me. I was over here minding my business. Ain't no two of me. Nobody said there was two of tea spiller. Between the two of you. Ain't no two of me. I was over here minding my business. Ain't no two of me. Nobody said there was two of you. I said between the two of you. Ain't no two of me.

Why I got to be between them? The tea. Y'all be spilling the most tea out there. No, I don't. I'll be over here. In the middle. Y'all in the middle. I don't even listen to Dorm Room Report.

Minding my business. What you sipping right now? Tea. And who you giving your donkey to, man? This is actually, this is a teachable moment, but you really got to pay attention to what's being taught. David Graham from North Carolina needs to come to the front of the congregation. I do believe we're in an era where we have to meet people. You have to meet people where they are, but we'll talk about it for after an hour.

All right, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Angela Yee here. And did you know that the General Insurance has been saving people money for nearly 60 years? That's a long time.

So if you want the quality coverage you deserve at prices you can afford, check out The General. 800-GENERAL or visit thegeneral.com. Some restrictions apply. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. Be out The General. 800-GENERAL or visit thegeneral.com. Some restrictions apply. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. Hee-haw, bitch. Hee-haw. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy. I can take it if you feel I deserve it. Ain't no big deal.

I know Charlamagne Tha God gonna have some funny shit to say out his mouth. If I say something you may not agree with, it doesn't mean I mean it. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey. That donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey of the day right there. It's a breakfast club, bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm.

Donkey of the day for Friday, June 25th goes to a 37-year-old North Carolina man named David Graham. Now, we live in an era that if you are a content provider, a provider of goods, a provider of services, you can't wait for people to come to you.

You have to go to the people. I know Kevin Costner told us in Field of Dreams, if you build it, he will come. Then at some point in time, somebody thought he wasn't gender neutral, so they changed the he to they. If you build it, they will come. I think I might have heard that in a Wendy's commercial. R.I.P. Dave Thomas. I don't know. I'm just simply trying to tell you that if you do indeed build it, they will come.

Maybe it's half right. Two things about that. Number one, whatever it is, you should build it. OK, if it's a legal anything and it's an idea that can empower you and empower others, build it. Keyword legal. Remember that can empower you and empower others. Build it. Key word, legal. Remember that in this conversation about David Graham. And second thing is just because you build it, there is no guarantee they will come. OK, you can't just build it, pray and then wish upon a star. Faith without works is dead. You have to go where the people are. That's why everybody building things is usually start building it on the Internet, because that's what the people are. And you have to go where the people are, okay?

For example, this ghetto-ass show we've been doing for damn near 11 years, The Breakfast Club, it's a radio show. We always knew that, but we always knew that we needed to be digital, okay? We had to be on the internet. So when we first started with little to no marketing, we used our socials to let people know

where to find what we had built. Posting the tune-in link to the, you know, to social media, the iHeartRadio app, and Power 105.1's website link. We constantly posted those on social media. Why? Because that's where the people were. So, we built it. But the ratings on the radio showed us that people weren't coming. Okay, at least not the way we wanted.

But online, digitally, business was booming. Because we made sure Breakfast Club content was where it needed to be on social media, on YouTube. Now you can listen in a podcast for one because people are listening to podcasts. If you build it, you have to go where the people are because there is no guarantee they will come. When I say that, know that I mean it, but I mean it for people who are doing things legally. OK, that piece of advice is strictly for us law-abiding, tax-paying citizens. I would never judge a person for anything they do to survive because that would be extremely hypocritical of me simply because I did what I had to do to survive. Okay, yes, there is a variant version of me that exists in some multiverse from the past

that's sort of a little dope. But man, the drug game really has changed from when I was out there selling crack hand to hand. Back in my day, you stood around in one spot and the consumers have said fried cocaine came to you. That's all crack is, fried cocaine. You know, black people love frying things. But man, David Graham, who has a phenomenal last name for the profession he has chosen,

is one of those new age entrepreneur Negroes who built it. But he's not waiting for consumers to come to him. Now, according to Count On 2 News, WPTW in Robeson County, North Carolina, David Graham is the devil himself. Those are their words, not mine. The headline says, the devil himself. North Carolina man arrested for selling drugs in front of rehab center.

I'm going to read you some of this article since we don't have a news report. A Robeson County man was arrested Tuesday after deputies say he was caught trying to sell drugs in front of a drug rehabilitation center. David Graham was arrested after deputies received complaints of a suspicious person loitering in the area of the center. While deputies searched him, a quantity of cocaine, weed, drug paraphernalia, and a firearm were located and seized. Sheriff Bernice Wilkins said great investigative work has now led to this arrest for an unbelievable act that I hope and pray leads to stiff justice being served. Wilkins said this is an absolute despicable act to take advantage of the addicted at a location in which they sought help in fighting the devil.

Then the devil himself shows up at the doorstep of a rehabilitation center with no regard for the human beings while only being concerned with profits. Whoa. I agree with Sheriff Wilkins, but I must say, the title Evil Genius was created for people like David Graham. I mean, last time I heard a plan this diabolical was when a legendary strategist,ist organizer and speaker named Eric Hartman devised an elaborate plan to sell candy at fat camp all right campers good work

today lights out and we'll see you tomorrow for more exercise and proper diet I've got the Cartman star is to donuts and a pack of licorice please why are you crying Chad cuz I'm I'm always going to be fat. I don't want to eat no sweets, but I can't control myself with her right in front of me like this. You know what you need? You need a friend. I do? Yes.

A chocolate friend. Mr. Candy Bar doesn't judge you, Chad. Mr. Candy Bar likes you just the way you are. Look at how yummy and sweet he is. There you go. That'll just be $4. I'm not judging either. Great entrepreneurs go where the people are.

I mean, listen, most drug dealers would make great entrepreneurs. See, David Graham has the right idea. He's just selling the wrong product. But this is what you do. You get the product and go directly where the consumers are. But David Graham, listen, you are arrested after people complained of seeing a suspicious person loitering in the area of the rehabilitation center. Did you not think people could see you? You know damn well it's impossible to not look suspicious selling drugs hand in hand. And you out there in front of the drug rehabilitation center pitching probably got a long line of people trying to kick the habit right there in front of the rehabilitation center and you thought nobody would notice maybe you thought you would get

everything off in a reasonable amount of time and nobody would catch you but they did and now david graham is being held at the robinson county detention center on a quarter million dollar bond you have to meet people where they are yes but whoever But whoever told David Graham that quote in his life, wherever he read it, absolutely gave it to him. Out of context. Yes, you should meet people where they are, unless you're meeting them at a drug rehabilitation center to sell them drugs.

Please give David Graham the sweet sounds of North Carolina's own The Hamiltons. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. Evil genius, though. Mm-hmm.

Evil genius. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Mm-hmm. Now, when we come back Sean Paul will be joining us Yes Never heard from Sean Paul in a while

So we'll talk to reggae artist Sean Paul When we come back He has new music out 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 or on the line. Sean Paul. What's up? What's up, Sean Paul? Now, you've been quarantining in Jamaica.

Yes, sir. That's not such a bad thing when it's always nice. It's the island, the great food. That's not a bad thing. Nah, I've been loving the family time as well and the studio time. I've been getting a lot of that. So, you know, it's good.

I mean, there's different challenges, but we do it and it's not that bad for me. You know, I've been enjoying watching your wife has her own podcast too. I think that's really dope to see her, you know, just being able to talk about your relationship and what she has going on. Are there ever things that she talks about that you got to discuss later?

Like, I didn't know you felt like that. Yeah, I guess one or two things. But even without a podcast, that's every day. I'm pretty sure Andrea in a marriage is like, what? That's how you feel? So, yeah, she's always been a media person. When we first started going out back in the day, she was working on TV out here,

so it's a natural thing for her. She presents well. I encourage her to do it all the time. Now, I know you've seen during the pandemic all the verses, and I know you've seen the one with Beanie Man. Would you think about doing a verses? My stance up first, I didn't want to do it, seeing that it's called a versus battle. I got a lot of respect for Tim, a lot of respect for Swiss.

I got a lot of respect for everybody who's been on it. But the battle part, I just didn't get. And I was not someone who was, like, running to see it. You know what I mean? Like, I'm in groups on my phone and people's like, yo, another verse is on. I'm like, all right, I'm having a good conversation right now. And I didn't really go to see every one of them.

I didn't rush to see them. And so my opinion of it was like, I don't want to battle Shaggy. I don't want to battle, you know what I mean? It's more celebration of the Canada. I get it. I get it now. I saw you said you could do one like D'Angelo did where you're just basically by yourself

and you're collabs. That's the only one I saw that I liked that I was like, yo, that's the kind of thing I want to do. Because going up against someone, even if it's in just, you know, for having fun and that kind of thing, it does spark. I mean, I see people argue about it every day and I don't want to argue about Shanti and Keisha Cole. I want to be like, yo, the both of them beautiful, sexy, amazing, sound great.

You know, I mean, for me, that was my stance. If I could do one like D'Angelo, maybe I would. But I know that was just my thing. So, yeah. Shaggy said you scared of him and that's the reason you don't want to do it just my thing. So, yeah. Shaggy said you scared of him, and that's the reason you don't want to do it. No, he didn't say that. He didn't say that. He didn't say that.

He's like, I just saw him. Shaggy my big bro, yo. Shaggy my big bro. He ain't trying to battle with me, man. I love that you and Shaggy did that song with Spice. I know that was really exciting for her to get two legends. I mean, all three of y'all are legendary on a song together. And the song is popping.

So how did that come together? Shaggy reached out to me. You know, we have many conversations on the phone a lot. You know, people were like, we're always like, we as dancehall people are the genre of reggae dancehall music. We need to collab more. You know, that's what it's about in the universe right now. That's what it's about when I'm thinking internationally, I gotta collab with this one, that one.

You know, I've had a few years in the biz, so it helps to have younger fans know who I am. And so for that reason, I did an album called Live and Living this year, which featured everybody who, or a lot of people who I rate in the dancehall community, producers, engineers, and artists. And then, you know, when he reached out to me, I was like, yo, I'm definitely down with that movement. Cause we've been talking about it on the phone. You know, I've seen Junior Gang do, we spoke of that also.

We need to do collabs. We need to to tour more and then I seen him make develop the Jam Rock cruise which that inspired me and I was like you know Jam Rock cruise is a cruise that happens every year a lot of regular artists on the ship and go around the Caribbean and everybody parties and have a good time so with those movements I was like you know this is inspiring me to do collabs more in my own genre and it was was a no brainer for me. I'm a fan of Spice. I'm a fan of Shaggy.

As I said, he's my big bro. And we talk a lot on the phone about the business and how we can help people to reach a different level. And yeah, the rhythm was crazy. So I jumped on it immediately. I liked it. It was nice and hardcore too. Thank you.

I see you working with a lot nice and hardcore too. Thank you. I see you working with a lot of younger artists too. And you know, a lot of times you don't see that too much. A lot of times the OGs in the game don't feel like they should work with the young ones, but you were so inviting to the young artists. Why was that? I'm a fan of something like Gov'n'r.

I'm a fan of Gov'n. I'm, you know, I'm a fan of Massacre. Different people on different songs on that album. But, you know, also I just feel like instead of being like, I don't want to have nothing to do with this trap dance or the new sound or whatever, I think I should embrace it and interject what I can into it. So, you know, with each player, it takes it to a different point in the game. And so instead of me pushing intense away, I'd rather to see the similarities between me and his career in terms of his voice is like something that just reaches through.

It cuts through. Everybody knows it's him when he's on the track and myself too. So things like that allow me to kind of look into it and say, yo, let me just work with these dudes. You know what I mean? I'm working with young people like Becky G in the international circles. Why not work with the young cats in my own genre who are making waves right now? It might not be, you know, millions of people around the world that know them, but I can try to shed a light on that. That's what we're doing with Spice. Now Spice is huge.

She's big, she got her own following, but also me and Shaggy are quite huge as well. And we got different people that may not be paying attention or listening to what's going on with us. Spice or like, as I said, Skilly Bang on Massacre. And I just feel that it's me taking part in the history and doing what i should do you know i mean this genre has taken me all over the world it's treating me very good and i don't want to just uh move away and be the person that's like i think that would be um me

turning into a culture butcher you know i started out with authentic rhythms and and authentic uh tracks coming out and i want to kind of take it back to that space i think that the world is kind of more ready for that awesome you know big up budgie banton on the album big up um busy signal on the album junior gang is on this album big up ching ching on the album uh all the new cats i just mentioned squash skillybeck massacre governor um you know big up left side on the album a lot of people i work with on the album is All the new cats I just mentioned, Squash, Skillybeck, Massacre, Governor, big up Left Side on the album. A lot of people I work with on the album is great producers and great artists.

So it's a good look all around, you know what I mean? All right, Sean Paul, let's get into your new single featuring Busy Signal. It's called Boom. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Sean Paul.

Why do you think they have that light-skinned, dog-skinned conversation about artists? I mean, we see it especially with you. Why do you think that is such a problem? Do they feel like light-skinned artists? We represent people, you know what I mean? And, you know, we represent people's feelings, mean and and uh you know we represent people's feelings artists we represent their likes their dislikes you know so a lot of the time people might look at a package and be like oh well he represented for the other side you know what i'm saying or they might say it's easier because of how the system is set or you know uh just from

being people being oppressed they don know like to see someone you know with a different skin tone do it where it's like you know maybe it should be someone like myself so that's all it is like it's a little bit of a probably um you know misled jealousy. But when you see these people in the street, no one says it to me except Charlamagne. You only want to go say it to me like that. But I mean, you know, mostly I think people might say these things online and then when they see me in the street, they see the type of person I am, their opinion changes, their perception changes. So that's all i gotta do i think

it's probably more of a system thing though right because i think sometimes with the labels and the industry they might feel like it's more marketable so it's not necessarily that the audience feels that way because i feel like that it comes that way with women too a lot of women will be like well how come you know the darker skinned women aren't getting this look and it's a system and the way that it's set up. And that's really more of what it is. I've seen, I've seen Amara.

Nalega. Amara. Talking about it. And I agree. You know what I mean? It's kind of strange, but it's for us, the people to see that and be like,

oh, well, I got to support this. Although, you know, my artists or the people who I well, I got to support this other, you know, my artists or the people who I respect, I think need to shine. I got to promote them in the ways that I can, even if it's bumping it in my car or my ride,

let everybody hear it. You know what I mean? For me, it's for us to do the part. The system is set the way it is. And we can always try to overturn it. But from within, the best thing to do is to ignore that. You know what I mean? Keep working.

Yeah, keep working. I don't mean to say ignore it. I mean to say, yeah, keep working hard and don't focus on those negative things until our positive aspirations and energies kind of just overwhelm that. That's how I do it. You know, we were talking about celebrity boxing matches. I think it's only right that you and Charlemagne

should do a celebrity boxing match one time and all the proceeds just go to charity. I put my money on Sean Paul. Talking about the light skin. I think it's only right. I got kickboxing skills though, you better tell him. I mean, I can swing them knees. Now we have Ms. pat up here and miss pat

was talking about the birth of vp records and everything and she talked about you how important was miss pat for your career oh they were definitely a big part of my career i mean you know uh there's a lot of discrepancy that happens with a label like v, you know, being some, a record shopper first and then graduating to become a record label and then move into the States. It kind of, a lot of people kind of feel a way sometimes, you know what I mean? But they gave me the stepping stone in my career that I could never say, I could never forget that. You know what I mean? Big up to all of them. They're a VP. You know, sometimes the things that happened with my career was overwhelming for all of us.

I had to step up my game 1,000%. And so did they. And so it was a good relationship to build each other. You know, they continue to produce dancehall or reggae music. And, you know, this is kind of one of the biggest outlets that we do have. So big up to them. There's a lot of cats in the industry that don't really like to go that route. But for me, especially at that time, it was like, VP is the only way for me.

And it worked. You know what I mean? We had a great relationship. um now i'm trying to you know have my own label so as you see how that goes um now i want to talk about mr vegas i saw he was on the fix podcast and you guys have this like long-standing issue you feel like that can be resolved i like that you watch the fix i really like that. Big up Angela. Because you know what I mean? It's a smaller podcast. They talking facts, you know what I mean? I like that they search out what's up in the dance art industry. When it comes on to what happened with me and Mr.

Vegas, that was always, always something to do with the labels for me. You know, he was signed to Green Sleeves as far as i knew back then in the interview i heard him say he wasn't signed so i really don't know but you know by the end of the interview you heard vegas big up my wife and myself and say that we good people you know i call him all the time since then we we've toured since then you know we've done songs together still i did a song for him i think it was 2012 one of them years uh it was more than dance oriented type songs we shot the music video in in the state in new york so i've been friends with him so i didn't really understand at first

where he was coming from but he was just telling a story When it comes to him calling me about the video or whatever, I do not recall any of this. So long ago. Yeah, and, you know, likewise, the same thing with me and DMX. You know, God rest DMX's soul. He is one of the greatest to me. And, you know, in 2009, I saw a video on YouTube that he was talking about what's the beef between me and him, and I was like, what? You beef between me and him and i was

like what you know i mean i didn't you're like i don't know yeah and a lot of people get vexed with me for talking about it now why you didn't talk about it before he passed away i didn't no one asked me that question but now i'm bringing it up because i'm being cursed for for things like that you know all i can tell you is that there was different times. Now, when DMX came to Jamaica to work with me and Vegas, we were both relatively young, small artists. And he had two major albums out that same year.

The next year, he put out another album that went, you know, all of them went platinum in the first week. So he was a major artist. And he still, up to the day he passed, was a major artist and he still up to the day he passed was a major artist to me, you know, the influence of him. But there came a time in about 2005, which is apparently when he did that video, where my songs were playing a lot, you know what I mean? And maybe not all of his projects were playing. He had six major albums and then you know i don't know really what took place but again that was just probably him speaking uh of how he felt at the time i had no beef with the man

he him and me never had no no no no cell phone numbers to call each other so whoever he was speaking to led him to believe something else i didn't speak to him about that. Thanks for you to ask that question about Vegas, which led me into this. There's some times that people might feel away. I feel away. People be doing dancehall music, and I would call out Bieber. It doesn't mean I

don't like his music. I love his music. I call out Drake. I like some of his music. But it is what it is. There's times where you just need to say what you want to say and get it off your chest. And I figure that's what happened with Vegas and with DMX, RIP to him. I mean, as I said, you know, interviews come out

and there may be a soundbite or something that I said, like, whatever. You know what I mean? And people take it in the wrong context or fly with it a different way if you listen to the end of that fix into the video Vegas saying me and his friends are we good people so yeah I like to clear things up yeah absolutely well Sean Paul we appreciate you for checking in brother pick up the album right now and we coming to visit you in Jamaica since you cooking and you so hospitable.

Yo, you better. You better, man. I think I'm going to bring lip service out there and I'm going to get Jody on there. Hey, Marzo. Come on. Let's do it. Please. All right.

Well, it's Sean Paul. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you, brother. The Breakfast Club. It's Friday. How y'all doing out there? Y'all okay?

Y'all all right? What voice is that? That's, I don't know. It's Friday voice. You have a lot of different guys inside of you. That's true. That is true. That is true.

Hey, happy birthday to my partners, Tezlyn Figueroa and Bonong Matiba, okay? Tez's born day was yesterday. Bonong's born day is today. Cancer gang gang. Okay. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors. What are we talking about in the rumors?

Rihanna. Rihanna. It's time, time, time. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time time

And you can see A$AP Rocky is like, come on. Haters, haters, haters, haters. You know damn well who Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are.

I think that's ridiculous. And you know they have age, and you know that they're going to bring business to your establishment just by being in there. So why would you do that to them? I saw one lady yelled out, I don't even know who you are. Yes, you do. And that's why you said that, because it made you feel better to say that.

Because we don't know who you are. Exactly. And I said Rihanna also got her tattoo covered up of the shark, the camouflaged shark that she had that her and Drake

had matching tattoos. So, covered that right up. All right, now Lamar Odom and Rayjean Rondo have been banned from a restaurant in Dallas.

It's called Shenanigans and if you look outside, it says Shenanigans have fun with your food and then it says these people are not allowed on Shenenanigans property DeAndre Jordan

Ray John Rondo and Lamar Odom wow well apparently they're all current or former NBA players who had terrible time with the Mavericks

so they said they could crawl here on hands and knees from whatever city they're living in and beg and we still wouldn't let them inside

I would think that you would welcome you would welcome people who do a lot of shenanigans into an establishment like shenanigans aren't those the people that you would want people who do a lot of shenanigans into an establishment like shenanigans. Aren't those the people that you would want? They also said that Mark Cuban is not safe from being banned if he doesn't improve the team.

Oh, Mark Cuban will buy the restaurant and close it down. Shut up, shenanigans. All right. Now, speaking of Lamar Odom being banned, there was a situation where Wendy Williams had some nasty things to say about Carly Redd. Because remember, people were saying that Carly and Lamar Odom were dating. I don't believe that he has a relationship with Carly Redd. Do I believe that they mess around? Yes.

Do I believe that she's trying it? Yes. Do I believe that she's too old and just a little dusty for him? Yes. That's rude. Only because Lamar's a simple guy of simple ways. And Carly Redd is a strategic conniver. Proven.

Dusty's disrespectful. What is her problem with Carly? Carly Redd says, Sir Wendell, you said I'm dusty? Where? Don't let me post this video of you in a New York City club snorting. If you want Lamar, just say that. And then somebody said, but he snorted too, right? I thought.

And she said, exactly. They make a perfect couple. And Wendy tried to say a little dusty pleasantly. There's no pleasant way to call somebody a little dusty. Dusty crazy. Alright, now Killer Mike, you know that bank Greenwood that he's one of the co-founders of. The launch has been postponed

according to the company. It was supposed to launch early 2021 and then was pushed back to July. That's because of unanticipated high demand after the website was unveiled back in October. They said they want to ensure that the platform can handle all of these anticipated customers and that's the reason

for the latest delay. I feel you, man. It's a good thing to have too many people interested and too many customers. You know it's hard because you really want to be able to provide those services, but then it's like we gotta make sure it launches right. Gotta get it right. I'm dropping the clues bombs for Killer Mike. I love

that black man. Salute to Shea. I love that black woman. Alright, now GZA, Raekwon, and Ghostface have announced a three chambers tour that's in celebration of their three classic LPs. It'll be GZA's Liquid Swords, Ghostface's Iron Man and Raekwon's Only Built for Cuban Links.

It's a 25-city tour that's going to be happening. I shall be to one of those shows. Me for sure. They're going to be in New York. Ghostface is my favorite MC of all time. Liquid Swords is one of my favorite albums too. Raekwon is a business partner and one of the best to ever do it.

All right. Now Justine Skye has a new album out and it's executive produced by Timbaland. Y'all know I sat down with her for this Carol's Daughter. We did this whole thing with iHeart. And here's what she had to say about linking up with Timbaland during the pandemic. We recorded the whole video, the whole process, documented it. It was such an amazing experience, especially due to the fact that it was remotely.

We never even met each other. And it started with one-minute Instagram clips. And then it turned into an amazing album. And this is independent, right? Fully independent, yeah. And it's not like he just, like, sent the beats and that was it. No, like, hands-on, really, like, challenging me through this process. That's out today?

Yes, it's out today. What's the name of it? It's called Space and Time. Okay, I'm going to check that out. And she has a song with Justin Timberlake. It's called Innocent. You're innocent, boy. You're innocent.

Innocent, boy. Reach out to me. You know I wish you would. But pull up with nothing nice to try. You know that them other boys can't do it like I do. Okay. Drop on the Clues Bonds for Timbaland, guys. And it's a lot of new music out because you know it is Friday.

Tyler, the creator, has Call Me If You Get Lost. Doja Cat has Planet Her. Juicy J, The Hustle Still Continues, Deluxe Album. Logic, The Wise Collection, Volume 1, Currency, and Jet Life Family. Welcome to Jet Life Records 2. So Logic is back? Yes. We've been saying that.

You know, Dan, our producer, he loves Logic. Huge Logic fan. I think he got a tattoo. Yeah, I think he does have a tattoo. You know what's embarrassing? One day, Logic's DJ was up here, and they sent me a text like, yo, tell Dan Logic's DJ is down the hall if he wants to come meet him. Logic's DJ.

You're not much of a fan of a person you got to be to want to meet their DJ? It's not like it's like jazz. DJ's important. No, very important. Dan, what's his name? I didn't even know Logic had a DJ. What's Logic's DJ name? What's his name?

I don't know. He's live. Well, salute to Logic's DJ. Come on, man. Salute to Logic's DJ. You got a fan in Dan. All right. And shout out to Trey the Truth, too, by the way.

He's opening up an ice cream shop, Howdy Homemade Ice Cream. He's partnering with them, and they're doing a franchise in Katy, Texas. And the reason that he's doing that, you know, what he wants to do is employ special needs young adults and give them an opportunity to work and experience and have a chance to be supported. So he wants to change the way the world looks at everyone. And that does really hit home for him because his teenage son

has special needs also. We love it. Uhtamak, good brother, Trader Truth, man. Drop on the clues, boss of Trader Truth. I'm happy you exist, king. Trader Truth also represents

She was the promotions director at Hot 103.9 in Columbia, South Carolina. She's been there forever. When I was there from 2002 to 2006, she was there. And she was just someone who spread a lot of positive energy and joy and told me i was good at radio and my future was bright and she's just been a a great

friend to me over the years and she passed last saturday and the funeral is today so i'm sending healing energy to everybody in the metro everybody in the 803 going to celebrate our girl today i'm sending healing and energy and peace to her son ju Juan, and daughter, Ryan.

Essence Festival? First weekend is this weekend, too. Yes, it's two weekends, this weekend and next weekend. It's virtual. Now, black people, y'all got to start talking. What you mean? Like, don't do it. They shouldn't be having that both on the same weekend.

BET Awards weekend should be this weekend. Essence Festival. I thought Essence Festival was always 4th of July. It's usually 4th of July weekend. It's virtual, so they do two weekends because there's a lot of virtual things that are happening. And, you know, usually Essence Fest is so many things happening at once, I don't think they could fit it all in one weekend. Right. It's usually 4th of July. That's the reason I'm doing the car show this weekend because people had no way to go 4th of July.

So I said, let me create the space for Atlanta for 4th of July. And also Versus is this weekend. Soulja Boy and Bow Wow. It's a packed weekend. It's a packed weekend. Hey, and we forgot to say happy born day, man. Lala Lazy, Lala Anthony. Okay, Lala's also team Cancer Gang. And then for myself,

So thank you to the team at Rouse's. Thank you to my boy Greg from Weedats for giving me the alley-oop

Now this awards is going to be shining the spotlight on our women artists, activists, and superstars of film, TV, and sports. So this year's theme is Year of the Black Woman. I know that's right.

So the Kings will be there also showing their support. But that's going to be live Sunday, June 27th at 8. That's right. And listen, the positive note comes from one of my favorite authors, man, Don Miguel Ruiz. Don Miguel Ruiz says, if you take your happiness and put it in someone else's hand sooner or later, they will break it. If you give your happiness to someone else, they can always take it away. Happiness can only come from inside of you. And as the result of your love for yourself, you are responsible for your own happiness.
