Starting point is 00:03:29 Today's one of those days where I agree with Andrew Yang when he says we need a four-day work week because our damn show would love an extra date. But this weekend was incredible. 20-year anniversary of Girlfriends. Girlfriends, the show I already loved, debuted on Netflix this Friday. And it's a show that you knew was amazing, but you just were reminded again how amazing it was. The NFL started yesterday, even though my team decided to lose on purpose just to pay respect. They started Thursday.
Starting point is 00:03:54 NFL season started Thursday. They did start Thursday. My team played yesterday, though. How'd your team do? How'd your team do? My Cowboys, we lost on purpose. You know what I'm saying? Oh, you lost on purpose.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We didn't want to take no attention away from just that amazing, amazing, incredible versus we saw last night with Queen, Patty, LaBelle, and Queen Gladys Knight. Drop one clue, Bonfitt, 0-2, Queen. Man. Yeah, I was curious to which one you were watching because, you know, they were on at the same time, the versus, of course, and the Cowboys, Cowgirls, whatever you want to call them. And I was curious. I was like, which one, which girls is he watching tonight? Is he messing with the football team
Starting point is 00:04:28 or Patty? You know, I was curious. First of all, neither one of those women are girls, okay? Those are two grown ass women. I think that y'all are very disrespectful when y'all keep calling Patty LaBelle and Gladys Knight aunties.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Those ain't aunties. Those ain't aunties. Those are big mamas, okay? They're legends. Those are grandmas, okay? That word grand means something, okay? They earned that. They ain't no aunties. Aunties.
Starting point is 00:04:56 And Dionne Warwick came out. Same with them last night. Another big mama. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Well, I enjoyed the promo they did before the versus, too. I mean, that was a great versus. It was a great versus, man.
Starting point is 00:05:09 I mean, it was, whew. I mean, I had a great time. It was on last night long. I mean, them women, they were telling stories and giving us behind the scenes. And it was just great. It was great to watch. Yeah, I'm going to be honest with you. I didn't turn into the Cowboys Rams game, not once.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I missed it. Shut up. Shut up. I was fixated. I was really fixated on the versus battle. And I can't really describe in words what that versus made me feel last night. But I can tell you that whatever that feeling was, it's an energy. I want my life to always be like just warm, unbothered, just joy, just God.
Starting point is 00:05:50 It felt good. That's what I felt. On my own. Why did it end this way? I love that one. It was just a vibe, man. It was a vibe. It was.
Starting point is 00:06:00 It was the energy. It definitely was. All right. Well, Tamron, Tamron's joining us. Tamron Hall's joining us today? Yes, Tamron Hall. Yeah, Tamron Hall will be joining us today. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:12 We're going to kick it with Tamron Hall. Today also. Oh, it premieres today. Yeah, her new season starts today as well. Okay. So we're going to be kicking it with Tamron Hall. So let's get right into it. Front page news.
Starting point is 00:06:23 What are we talking about, Yeezy? Oh, man. Well, let's talk about a police officer who attacked a passenger in the lift, a black person, by the way. And we'll tell you what happened. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Good morning. Hey. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, Saturday, the Lakers eliminated the Rockets, 119-96. They won the series 4-1.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Now, the Nuggets beat the Clippers on Sunday, 111-98. And tonight, the Heat take on the Celtics, all right? Now, NFL. The Clippers are really proving people right when they say that they could possibly be cursed. I don't know how they are on the verge of possibly losing this series now. I don't understand it. It was 3-1. Yeah, it's 2-2. Series is top.
Starting point is 00:07:14 No, it's 3-3. They're going to game 7. Yeah. For some reason, I thought it was 2-2. Alright, now, NFL. Seahawks beat the Falcons 38-25. The Ravens beat the Browns 38-6. The Bills beat the Jets 27-17. The Las Vegas Raiders beat the Panthers 34-30. The Bears beat the Lions 27-23. The Packers beat the Vikings 43-34.
Starting point is 00:07:37 The Patriots beat the Dolphins 21-11. Washington football team, they beat the Eagles 27-17. The Chargers beat the Bengals 16-13. The Saints beat the Buccaneers 34-23. The Cardinals beat San Francisco 24-20. How do Rams do? How do Rams do in the Cowboys game? I don't remember. The Cowboys lost
Starting point is 00:07:58 on purpose, you know what I'm saying? Just to show respect to Queen Patty LaBelle and Queen Gladys Knight. We didn't want to take away any headlines from them, so I respect it. Goodness gracious. And then Monday Night Football, the Steelers take on the Giants tonight at 7 and the Titans take on the Broncos at 10. What else we got, Yeezy?
Starting point is 00:08:15 Well, a sheriff's deputy in Georgia has been fired. He was captured on video repeatedly punching a black man during a traffic stop. Now, the victim is Roderick Walker. And by the way, he's being held over outstanding warrants. A video of the incident after the stop for a broken taillight has gone viral. So he was just a passenger in the car, by the way. Roderick Walker, he wasn't even the driver of the car. They asked him for his ID.
Starting point is 00:08:38 He didn't understand why he should have to show his ID. And that's when the sheriff's deputy then started punching him and according to the deputy he told a bystander that Walker bit him but he did lose consciousness twice at least during the beating and there's pictures you can see his face there's also video of the incident which is very difficult to listen to. On the video, you can see he's trying to get free. He's wobbly. And he was arrested on suspicion of obstructing officers and battery, according to jail records. And he's in jail. His lawyers demanding his release on bond and said that they had asked him to review the case. He also accused investigators
Starting point is 00:09:23 of improperly talking to his client without an attorney at the jail. Let me guess. The deputy is under investigation, the police officer now, and he's probably gotten paid leave while he's under investigation. Well, he was fired. Nothing has happened. Oh, he got fired?
Starting point is 00:09:38 Mm-hmm. Okay, good. That's amazing. And there is an ongoing investigation, but yes, he was fired. So now he needs to be charged. but yes he was fired so now he needs to be charged being that he was fired now he needs to be charged like a a common everyday person would if they committed a heinous violent act like that they did not identify the deputy yet but they said he was fired for excessive use of force and a criminal investigation has been
Starting point is 00:10:00 turned over to the district attorney all right that. That's good. I'll do a quick firing. Two LA County journalists are out of surgery after being ambushed in a shooting in Compton. They were shot and critically injured Saturday night. They are out of surgery. It looks like they are going to be able to recover. They said they don't know what the long-term impact is, but they have survived the worst. The deputies are one male and one female.
Starting point is 00:10:21 They were ambushed as they were sitting in their vehicle. At a press conference Saturday night. They said the shooting in Compton was done in a cowardly fashion. It happened at 7 p.m. The suspect approached from behind the deputy's vehicle, walked along the passenger side, acted as if he was walking past the car. That's when he raised a pistol and shot multiple times, hitting both deputies. You know, both of those stories are horrible. The way that man was abused in the lift and those cops being shot. Neither one of those situations should happen.
Starting point is 00:10:51 The only difference is the man who shot those police officers will definitely be brought up on criminal charges. You saw the president already calling for the death penalty for him. So that's all we would want on the flip side. You know, an officer does something like what happened to that young man in the lift. That officer needs to be charged like a criminal. That's it. Well, Donald Trump posted on Twitter, animals that must be hit hard if they die.
Starting point is 00:11:13 If they die, fast trial, death penalty for the killer. Only way to stop this. All right. Well, that is front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you're mad.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Maybe you had a bad morning, bad weekend, whatever it may be. Or maybe you feel blessed. Hit us up right now. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I'm telling.
Starting point is 00:11:43 I'm telling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling. I'm calling you Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling, I'm calling, calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. All right, get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Can I get it off my chest first? So I just found out that the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the mansion in L.A., they Airbnb-ing it so you can stay in it for a night and kind of live like Will Smith did back then. And it's only $30 a night. How crazy is that? $30? $30 a night. You can stay in the mansion, the same mansion that the Fresh Prince taped Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Starting point is 00:12:20 But this is my problem. It's sold out already. $30, it's sold out. Of course it is. $30 a night? Jeez. Damn it, man. First of all, I know for a fact that Envy is not reading the other stipulations. There's no way that place is just $30 a night.
Starting point is 00:12:33 There's gotta be more to it. This is celebrating their 30th anniversary. It's $30 a night. That makes sense. And the money is going to I believe the Boys and Girls Club or something like that. They're donating all the money, but $30. How long do you get to keep it? Do you get to keep it for three days, one night?
Starting point is 00:12:51 Exactly. How long do you get to stay in there for $30 a night? It can't be a long stay. That's just dope. That's like history. It's one bedroom, one bed, one private bath. What? That big ass house? I don't know how they did that. Maybe they're only giving you a section of the house. Okay. It said it's a, um, it was just
Starting point is 00:13:08 used as the exterior. Just, of course, it was a movie set on the inside, but it would have been his bedroom and bathroom on the show along with the poolside lounge and dining room. That's still dope. I could afford that. $30. I would have did that for $30.
Starting point is 00:13:24 That would have been dope, but it's sold out already. All right. Hello, who's this? Good morning, Angela. Yo, it's Snack Man. Oh, my goodness. Okay, Snack Man, our resident comedian. Never heard from you in a long time, Snack Man.

Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast
Starting point is 00:22:28 Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Now Dave East was on a flight headed to he was removed from a flight headed to,
Starting point is 00:22:48 he was removed from a flight headed to Atlanta, and this was on Friday, and he wrote on Instagram, racism, and he posted a three-minute video of his experience on Delta. He said, F Delta, racist ain't even the word. This Jamaican man defending me, and he don't even know me. He watched the racist harassment.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Listen to this. It's called racism. It's okay. I'm to get off the plane. Damn, the whole force came? Where the lady that got me off the plane at? She hiding there? All this s*** going on on the news. Black people getting
Starting point is 00:23:17 shot every f***ing day. Y'all do this on an airplane. We got people on an airplane that I don't even know that's getting up and defending me, bro. He also said, Delta Airlines, y'all need to stop hiring these racist, stupid, ignorant Trump supporters that get nervous when they see a person of color in first class.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Bitch just asked me what I want to drink and keep it pushing. Ish got me hot. Do we know what caused that, though? Do we know what sparked all that off? We don't know. According to Dave East, what he's saying is that a woman got nervous seeing a black man in first class. And he did say a stranger tried to defuse the situation and allow him to fly. But he had to exit the plane.
Starting point is 00:23:55 That's when he was greeted by more than six officers from the New York Port Authority waiting on him. I wonder how you could get nervous. I got my first class seat. In Delta right now, there's nobody sitting next to you. So why the hell are you could get nervous. I got my first class seat. In Delta right now, there's nobody sitting next to you, so why the hell are you so damn nervous? Well, I'm sure Delta will put out another side of the story once they see all the bad press that they're getting. I'm sure we'll be seeing that soon.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Right. I mean, look, I fly Delta all the time, so I don't know what actually went down, whatever, but I guess we'll see. All right. Boxer Javante Davis. He just admitted that he was wrong for getting violent with his ex-girlfriend back in February. We all saw the video.
Starting point is 00:24:32 They were at a celebrity basketball game in Miami and he was aggressively grabbing her. They have a child together. People were very disturbed by that footage. Well, now Javante was on the Last Stand podcast with Brian Custer, and he said he wished he would have done things differently. I've been around my baby mother for like six years now. So we have a chemistry, right?
Starting point is 00:24:52 I love her, like, I love her. And I'm overprotective. So once I heard that she was at that gang, and I told her, I said, you need to get out of there. And that's my baby mother. I look at her and things like that.
Starting point is 00:25:08 I make sure she's good. And, again, I love her. So, once – I was just mad. And once I seen her – it's not – I grabbed her by her neck. I just told – I grabbed her like I should. Like, you got to get out of here type thing. And I probably was wrong for doing that. I was wrong for doing that. Yeah, I mean, regardless of how you think Javante Davis sounds, he's admitting
Starting point is 00:25:30 he was wrong for doing that and he's going to get professional help. Like, that's all you can ask for a person to do in life. Hold himself accountable and go get some healing. Hurt people hurt people. Clearly something is going on with that brother and he wants to fix it. And we have to get to a place where we allow people
Starting point is 00:25:45 to make mistakes. Period. Yeah, he did say he has a little anger problem and he's saying he didn't strike her with his fist. He grabbed her shirt, but he said he should not have done that still. I mean, I would think, right, that a boxer would always have
Starting point is 00:26:01 some type of anger issues. Yeah, because you're kind of trained to fight. Like you're trained to use that anger to win, right? So, yeah. But it doesn't make it right. No, not at all. Alright, well he is going to be fighting next month by the way. He's set to fight Leo Santa Cruz in another championship fight.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Big Sean's Detroit 2 has debuted at number one. That's his third number one album. So congratulations to Big Sean. 103,000 units sold in the U.S. in the first week. That's good. And Big Sean's been around a long time. What number album is this for Sean?
Starting point is 00:26:36 I'm not sure. Is this four or five? It's got to be about five, four for fifth, right? But either way, it's like he's been around a long time. So when you've been around this long and you're still getting number 1's that says a lot about, you know, who you are as an artist. Yeah, this could possibly be
Starting point is 00:26:50 his last album. On Def Jam and Good Music, right? I believe it is. Now he also talks about the song Deep Reference where he references Kendrick. Listen to this. After what happened in Ipsy I reached out to Kendrick It wasn't even no real issues there to begin with. Lack of communication and wrong information from people filled by the ego.
Starting point is 00:27:08 It's like mixing flames with diesel. Now here's what he said happened. He was on Sway in the morning and he did say that Kendrick reached out to him. And even when he heard the reverend, you know, he hit me and was like, yeah, I appreciate you showing that love. I appreciate that love in the verse, man. And you guys really, you and Nip went crazy. Y'all gassed on it.
Starting point is 00:27:25 So it was good to just get that response from your brother. Because on that record, I just was keeping it open and honest and real. It was not out of disrespect either. It was just out of respect for myself and for the things I learned along the way. People might need to hear that. See, that's good. A misunderstanding and somebody addresses it and then the person reaches out. That's how
Starting point is 00:27:45 problems should get resolved right that's right brothers be brothers brothers be having to check their egos man it just be a bunch of ego 90 percent of the time and if you lead with ego you're gonna be beefing and butting heads for no reason but if you lead with your soul you're gonna be like man f all that life's too short all right well six nines album was number four in the first week with 53,000 equivalent album units earned. Now, they said Billboard had disqualified over 100,000 of his merch bundles. So he thought he was going to have the number one album. But because of that, he is not down to number four.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Lil Baby is the first artist of 2020 to go double platinum with his album, My Turn. So congratulations to him. He posted My Turn, first and only album to go, two times platinum, highest selling and streaming album of 2020, two times platinum in six and a half months. Lil Baby, you did it. Yeah, I love Lil Baby. He's right up there working hard. He's out there giving back.
Starting point is 00:28:37 He's out there helping his hood. He's out there pushing. I really love what Lil Baby's doing. Congratulations to Lil Baby. Look at Lil Baby in QC. Now, E, when you talk about the man who gave you that number four, can those album sales maintain you that level
Starting point is 00:28:52 of security? Because you're not on the road right now, right? So I guess the only way to pay the bills is with the screaming. Can those type of album sales maintain you that level of security? Can you afford that kind of security with those type of numbers?
Starting point is 00:29:07 I guess if you're not really going anywhere, you should be okay. Well, you know, he's still performing. I know they gave him a bunch of millions of dollars to perform on some site that he has coming up
Starting point is 00:29:16 in a little bit. But to answer your question, no. If he keeps doing those type of numbers, his money, I'm sure, will keep, you know, decreasing. And the security will probably go from 15 to 12 to 10 to 5 to 4 to 1.
Starting point is 00:29:31 And that's when it gets fun. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. Unless he made some great investments and he eyed out there. Well, man, we never know. Can't count another man money. All right. Now we got front page news when we come back.
Starting point is 00:29:48 What are we talking about, Yeezy? Yes. And, you know, we have to keep on telling y'all what's going on in the United States as we are getting ready for elections. So we'll tell you what Donald Trump has happening and we'll give you some updates on Biden as well. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 00:30:03 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Former Vice President Joe Biden. We have to let people know we're listening, that we not only understand their struggle, but they understand the fact they deserve to be treated with dignity.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Senator Kamala Harris. Part of the point of freedom is to be free from brutality, from injustice, from racism, and all of its manifestations. But they're not getting a chance now. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have a real plan for police reform. It means creating a national standard on use of force and conditioning federal funds for police departments on adoption of that standard. It's about giving the United States Department of Justice the subpoena power to investigate systemic police misconduct. And that's what we're going to do. We're going to change that. I really mean it. I believe with every fiber in my being, we have such an opportunity now to change people's lives for the better. I'm Joe biden candidate for
Starting point is 00:31:05 president and i approve this message paid for by biden for president everybody is dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get some front page news nba quickly the lake is eliminated the rockets 119 96 the denver nuggets beat the Clippers 111-98. This series is tied 3-3. All right, now they play, I believe, on Tuesday. Now, NFL, the Seahawks beat the Falcons. Ravens beat the Browns. Bills beat the Jets. Raiders beat the Panthers.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Bears beat the Lions. The Packers beat the Vikings. The Patriots beat the Dolphins. Washington football team beat the Eagles. Chargers beat the Bengals. Saints beat the Buccaneers. Cardinals beat San Fran. The Rams destroyed the Cowgirls. And tonight in Monday Night Football,
Starting point is 00:31:51 Pittsburgh take on the Giants and the Titans take on the Rams. And I keep telling y'all over and over because it's the truth. The Cowboys lost on purpose last night because we didn't want to take headlines away from the Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle versus because they would have won. That's all everybody would have been talking about today.
Starting point is 00:32:08 All right. Now let's talk about Michael Bloomberg. He says he's going to spend one hundred million dollars in Florida to help Joe Biden. They say the polls are showing a very tight race in Florida. So obviously, you know, that's a key battleground state. It has twenty 29 electoral votes. And Bloomberg had talked about before his candidates after his candidacy ended, how he was going to start a new anti-Trump group. He hadn't done that. And then he apparently his aides were telling people that he had not yet approved any spending in the presidential race. So now he is going to go ahead and spend that one hundred million dollars in Florida in the coming race. So now he is going to go ahead and spend that $100 million in Florida in the coming weeks. And I want to encourage everybody to make sure you go out to vote.
Starting point is 00:32:48 You know, when it comes to driving change, there's no action as powerful as casting a vote. And Levi's is teaming up with Rock the Vote to help get as many people as possible registered and ready to vote this fall. Whatever values are most important to you, make sure you use that hashtag, vote about it on November 3rd. You can text Levi's to 788683. That's L-E-V-I-S to 788683. That's how you get those key dates, election reminders, and voters info from Rock the Votes. FYI too, I just want to say that very honorable what Mayor Bloomberg is doing, putting that $100 million in Florida to help Joe Biden win. But Florida going Florida regardless. I don't know if that's a good investment. He's trying to help.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Whatever we think Florida should do, they're not going to do. What does your Uncle Charlotte always tell you? Craziest people in America coming from the Bronx and all of Florida. Okay? You spend that money in Florida, but Florida's still going Florida. Donald Trump last night was holding an indoor rally at a warehouse outside Vegas, and he has called for the state's governor to open up the state. He said, you have a governor right now who is a political hack. Tell your governor to open up your state, by the way, open up your state.
Starting point is 00:34:00 By the way, I'm confused about this, right, because I saw him say that about Florida. And then I saw yesterday that Georgia is moving into phase two. Them two places seem wide open. What you mean phase two? Exactly. I was just in Atlanta. They're in like phase nine. What you mean?
Starting point is 00:34:14 I didn't know they were still on phases in any of those states. Every restaurant is open. Every club is open. Like, what do you mean phase two? I swear. Well, I think when they opened, they had to scale back and then, I don't know. Nobody scaled back in Atlanta. Atlanta's open, open.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Like, open, open. Yeah, I ain't crazy. Three days ago, Atlanta phase two coronavirus plan initiated. What was phase? What is what? Yes. The phases are silly because everybody's deciding what's happening in which phase, depending on where you live.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Well, New York is in phases. We're in phase four, but we still don't have no indoor dining. You know what I mean? Yeah, I feel bad for New York. New York has nothing. At least Jersey, they gave us indoor dining. The gym's open. New York, I can't call it.
Starting point is 00:35:01 I don't know why. I will say, though, our numbers are way down, but they are going to do indoor dining in New York. Yeah, I want to start on the 30th of September. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.
Starting point is 00:35:12 And let me congratulate to Naomi Osaka for winning the U.S. Open. All right. She's 22 years old. She's Haitian and Japanese descent. So congratulations to her. I didn't say her. We're going to do that in rumors. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:35:27 All right. Now. I said I like the statement that she made, too, as she was playing. But we'll talk about that. All right. Did any of y'all guys play tennis? I'm just curious. At all?
Starting point is 00:35:37 I actually played tennis in high school. Girl, no. You said no? No. I love tennis. I played tennis. Well, we didn't have tennis courts. Do we have tennis courts in Monk's Corner?
Starting point is 00:35:48 I don't know. I don't remember. Maybe we did. I never played no tennis, though. Yeah, my parents put me in everything. We didn't have tennis courts in Brooklyn. I did baseball, basketball, tennis, swimming, all that. My parents put me in everything.
Starting point is 00:35:57 As a matter of fact, when we used to go on vacation. Did you sell crack? No, I did not sell crack. We used to go on vacation in Montserrat. They actually had tennis courts in Montserrat, so that's what I used to do every time when I was little. Okay. Play tennis.
Starting point is 00:36:11 All right, well, that's your front page news. Now, when we come back, Tamron Hall will be joining us. We'll kick it with Tamron Hall, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, Depressed?
Starting point is 00:36:26 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. 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
Starting point is 00:36:42 I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. 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. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand-new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Flash, slam, another one gone Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
Starting point is 00:39:21 nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Listen to historical records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest on the line right now. Tamron Hall, welcome and good morning. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:40:10 It's my first time on the show. I know. It sucks that it's on Zoom. Yeah. I know. I know. But listen, we've been living like this, what is it, six or seven months now. I just don't want to attend any more Zoom birthday parties, but I'm good with a few Zoom interviews.
Starting point is 00:40:24 No more Zoom birthday parties. I'm done. Isn't your birthday coming up? Yeah birthday parties, but I'm good with a few Zoom interviews. No more Zoom birthday parties. I'm done. Isn't your birthday coming up? Yeah. Yeah, but I'm not doing anything. I will be 50 on September 16th, and I'm counting it as 49 plus 1 until I can actually have a birthday party. I am not moving forward 49 plus 1 until I can actually invite people to come and celebrate me being 50. And congratulations on your Gracie also.
Starting point is 00:40:48 I saw you won a Gracie. And a daytime Emmy. Yeah, you know, it's crazy. The Gracie's aired last week and it's women in media and I felt compelled to dedicate the award to Breonna Taylor and women like her who, unfortunately, in my 30 years of being in the media, our stories still aren't told and very little progress in the way of black women, brown women, and who we are. And I think she represents that.
Starting point is 00:41:20 You know, I want to, I want to talk about a few things you just mentioned. First of all, talking about black, notacking, how does 50 feel for you? Listen, and I have a one-year-old. It's like I'm in some surreal chamber of life, I think. I know you're dealing with a one-year-old in this COVID because it's crazy. I got three, and Charlamagne just ran to hug his kids. It's crazy. It's crazy. I mean, my son,
Starting point is 00:41:46 he wasn't walking at the beginning of this. Now he's walking. He's starting to talk. I went online on Amazon last night. I Googled best indoor baby gym activity because he is a boy. I got him a Hoppy rocking horse. He won't get on it.
Starting point is 00:42:01 He dives over it. You do not play for the Cowboys. You've got to slow down here. I did talk to a, I called a doctor, a pediatrician, because I was worried about the lack of socialization. You know, when we were kids, we could go out. I grew up in Texas. I could be outside riding my bike, hanging out with my cousins.
Starting point is 00:42:19 It's just us in the house. And this therapist told me that until the age of three, the most important thing is love and that socialization really starts after that, clearly, once they start going to preschool. But under three, as long as you're offering them as much space
Starting point is 00:42:36 as you have, and obviously as much love as you have, they should be okay. You should buy them a ball pit. You should buy them the little ball pit. They have a ball pit at Target, right? Oh, I'm over past that. No, no, no. We've done the ball pit. You should buy him a little ball pit. They have a ball pit at Target, right? Oh, I'm going to pass that. No, no, no. We've done the ball pit. The ball pit has been crushed, destroyed.
Starting point is 00:42:50 I'm sorry. We're on to the little hoop thing. He has a little basketball thing. A little hoop basketball thing. Yeah, but we're past ball pit. Hold on, Tamara. All that money you make and you ain't got no backyard? I have three backyards.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Oh! Talk your ass! Talk your ish! Talk your ish! Fall back, little man. I got three. Outdoor pool, indoor pool. Talk your ish! But that's not... You can't go outside
Starting point is 00:43:18 year-round. So I'm trying to prepare for him to stay inside. But no, he's in swim classes. I just posted on social media because I didn't learn to swim until much later in life. Actually, I learned to swim when I did a piece on NBC on African Americans and the study on us not swimming and why. I don't know how to swim. I just learned. I learned.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Cullen Jones, I think he's the first black Olympian to medal in the Olympics for swimming. He taught me in London. It was after this black family in Georgia, four members of the family all died in this awful accident trying to save one another when none of them could swim. So I teamed up with USA Swim, and we did a whole piece on why black people don't swim, and it's not because we can't,
Starting point is 00:44:03 which is that whole myth that went around for many, many years that black people don't swim and it's not because we can't, which is that whole myth that went around for many, many years that black people don't swim or we can't swim. And that we don't have access to public pools and everything. So we did that and I learned to swim and so now my son is 16 months and he swims. You know what is crazy? One of my best friends, she doesn't know how to
Starting point is 00:44:20 swim either. And that is one of my goals, right? To learn how to swim and I keep on saying i have to learn how to do that i was just talking about that last weekend in one of my three backyards i will invite you she actually she just started taking swimming lessons two months ago because one of her friends that her son almost died in the pool and so he was in the hospital and she would at that inspired her to actually take swimming lessons and so she just took she did like a week and now she can swim
Starting point is 00:44:51 you know enough and then she wants to keep on me for me it was like this fear of closing in but when we did the study on why african-american quote-unquote don't swim the number one reason was that if you can't do something, you are less likely to put your child in that situation. So a lot of black parents wouldn't let their kids go to swim class because you think, wait a minute, if it goes wrong, I can't save my own child. That was one reason. The other reason for black women, the study found,
Starting point is 00:45:21 we've been trained to not want to get our hair messed up. That's right. And so there was this notion of I'm going to go on vacation, but I'll get in the pool for a picture, but I'm not going to actually swim. And young black girls were following the patterns that the mom in the house set up, which was, okay, we'll get in the pool, but you're not going to actually swim. It had nothing to do with a lack of access to pools because there are a number of community centers that still offer free classes. It was, I don't want to put my child in danger. And for
Starting point is 00:45:50 women, for black women, it was, we didn't want to get our hair wet. That's interesting because my mom can't swim, but my brother can swim. My brother can swim. And my brother and father could swim. Me and my mom could not. Yeah, that's the same thing in my family. But I learned how to swim the same way. I was on vacation with my family, and when we got to the hotel, it was a motel at the time, the kids, like two kids had died earlier that day, and I didn't know how to swim. So as soon as we got back to New York, my parents was like, I'm putting you in the YMCA. You're learning how to swim.
Starting point is 00:46:20 And that's the only reason I learned how to swim. And my kids, like you said, learned how to swim since one years old. So they can swim like fish. They're good, all of them. I can't wait to come use your pool. Right, come on. Which one? Which one? Which one?
Starting point is 00:46:32 Which one? Indoor pool, outdoor pool? It's used for my son. She wears one of those shields. So we got you. All right, we got more with Tamron Hall when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Tamron Hall. Charlamagne? You had so much success with the first season, you know, the Gracie Award, the Daytime Emmy. Does that put extra pressure on you going into the second season?
Starting point is 00:46:59 It doesn't because the pressure was starting the show. You know this. I mean, we're in rooms. I'm the only woman walking into rooms of men who run networks trying to convince them that a show backed by me where I would executive produce would work. That's the pressure. And it's not the pressure that you don't think you can do it or you don't know you can do it.
Starting point is 00:47:21 It's, again, at 30 or how old was I, 47 years old, I'm trying to convince these people that I have the goods when I had 27 years of a career that proved that. And so that was the pressure, actually getting the right team, getting on. But the awards, I mean, they're extra and phenomenal to have, and it's humbling because the night I won the Emmy, I was actually at home. I had just put my son to sleep. I had a glass of wine.
Starting point is 00:47:46 I was about to eat a slice of pie. And then someone called me and said, congratulations, you won the Emmy. I'm like, what? I was in my bed. My hair was curly. I'm like, wait a minute. I didn't even watch it because I thought there was no chance that I would win. But I don't feel the pressure in that way.
Starting point is 00:48:01 No, not at all. Well, I just want to say congratulations. Think about where your life was like two years ago. I don't feel the pressure in that way. No, not at all. Well, I just want to say congratulations. Think about where your life was like two years ago. And now here you are with your show going into the second season, also being shown on OWN now every day as well. And you're a one-year-old, a 16-month-old. So I think that's amazing to see how life can change so quickly. Yeah, life can change.
Starting point is 00:48:21 I mean, when I left my last job, you know, I was, I was devastated. I've worked since I was 14 years old. My mother was a single mom at 19, the first dad or the first male figure in my life was my grandfather who had a second grade education with a sharecropper. So I was definitely not the kid that people bet on, but you know, you're tall your whole life, hard work, hard work, put in the numbers, put in this and it'll pay off. And there I was the first black woman to host the Today Show. And I was let go and actually told I didn't even say goodbye to the audience. I was done. And that was devastating because your whole worth, especially when you've worked your whole life, your self-worth is associated with the job that you have, what you do for a living. And suddenly, you know, it was a Tuesday night.
Starting point is 00:49:07 I went, I prayed, and I braced myself for whatever was going to happen. I said, I actually told a joke. I said, a worst-case scenario, I can strip at a club on Senior Citizen Night since I'm older. I'm like, nope. My goodness. I can just go to the Wednesday night strip club night, and they're like, okay, Cameron Hall is there.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Somebody would pay, I'm sure, to see occasionally. So that was the backup plan, because I had not. When people ask me about my career, I've been on TV since I was 19. This was the only thing that I was ever going to do, other than maybe a blackjack dealer in Vegas, and I don't even know how to play cards. But I had zero backup plan. I am my backup plan. I am my backup plan.
Starting point is 00:49:46 My family is not wealthy. My stepfather who raised me and became my dad, God meant for me to have was in the military. So I was my backup plan. And two years ago, to your point, everything was gone. And everything that I had been told, which was work hard, work smart, I had done. And it didn't work out. Well, I believe in divine misdirection, so clearly God had another plan for you. But what does it mean for your shows to be replaying on their own network daily? Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Come on. I remember, so I met Oprah for the first time. I was 27. She had just launched the own magazine, and I got this invitation. I was a local news anchor in Chicago. I get an invitation and they're like okay Oprah wants you to come to the launch party of the magazine I'm thinking how does she even know who I am this is crazy maybe this is someone else's invitation there's
Starting point is 00:50:34 no way I took my best friend and this is back when they had the little crank cameras and I said okay the minute she comes over I'm gonna jump in jump in the picture, snap the picture, we're out the door. Because I just want a picture. And because I figured, what is she going to tell me? And she doesn't know who I am. We got to the party. And, of course, I don't know if you've ever been to anything with Oprah. She does everything so over the top.
Starting point is 00:51:02 So there was this spread of food that was beyond anything that my 27-year-old life had ever seen, stretched the size of my body. So I stopped to get a plate, as you do at an Oprah event. I'm making a plate, and I hear somebody say, Cameron. And I turn around, and it's Oprah. I have a piece of shrimp in my mouth. I spit it out, and I turn around. I'm like, take a picture. You snap the picture, done.
Starting point is 00:51:20 Years later, I'm like, of course, like everybody else else stalking her entire career oh my gosh and i wonder if she's watching and this is a story i've never told to anybody right when this show was starting i was going through some challenges where again the partners in the show were not uh being the partners i felt i i deserved and i called op for advice. And it was like the true fairy godmother of life came down, and she ended up inviting us to interview her on tour when she was doing her wellness tour. And she's just been incredible. You know, a lot of people wonder what she's like behind the scenes. She is the Batcall.
Starting point is 00:52:01 And with this own deal, it's amazing to have the show re-air on her network after you know to your point Charlemagne divine life and the universe I always say the universe will conspire to make the things that you really want happen not the things you think you want you know we lie in bed and you pray God let this man be the right one or this one or this job I really want this job you think it's what you want, but the universe will conspire to give you truly what it is exactly that you want. For me, the universe is God. Not the things I think I want, but I really, really, really want.
Starting point is 00:52:35 And I look back now, 27 years ago, I had this awkward encounter with this woman that is Oprah Winfrey, and now all these years later, she had been watching all along and silently rooting for me and so many other women of color in this business, whether it's radio, TV, print, we think that she's not aware. She still looks at ratings. She is so plugged in still and so passionate in a way that is indescribable. But no, if my show sucked, it would not be Rihanna
Starting point is 00:53:08 on. She does no favors. She is on because she believes in traditional daytime talk and she believes that we can talk about anything and that's why the show is on her network. We got more with Taryn Hall when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Tamron Hall. What do you want to accomplish this season? Because this is a tough season. Like you said, this is a COVID coronavirus season. So what's the goal for this season?
Starting point is 00:53:38 You know, our goal is to continue to have that conversation. We kept on air during COVID from my home. We're now back in the studio. We're back live, just like you and your show. We're trying to make it happen. We're trying to figure out the path ahead. We're premiering with this interview with Andrew Gillum.
Starting point is 00:53:57 That is explosive. I'm sorry? That is explosive. Let me tell you something. It is incredible. Amazing, because we haven't heard him speak since everything happened, and I know. How did that interview happen? You know, they tell you, what is it, Maya Angelou? People don't remember what you said.
Starting point is 00:54:16 They remember how you treated them. Remember how to make you feel. I was leaving the hotel in Atlanta at the Tyler Perry party. And I heard someone speaking behind me and it turned out to be his wife, RJ. And RJ asked me for a picture. And I was like, great. We took a picture. She got her hair and makeup done by my same hair and makeup team. So we have these little embers of contact, but I didn't know them. story happened I saw it trending and I said he is going to be my first interview so I asked someone to reach out on my behalf I got them on the phone but the deal is Charmaine I knew that everyone was trying to talk to him I wanted her because as a woman as a
Starting point is 00:54:57 spouse to see my husband laid naked on the floor of a hotel room he was in his own vomit there were pills and things it is shocking and i thought she has a story too everyone wants him so i approached her and talked to her about it and then we went from there and she um she's incredible and the story is as awful as you can imagine, but it's also as redemptive as you can imagine because who or what are we willing to offer grace to? And I think he is very candid. He's very open about it. I talked to him about can he return to politics. I talked to him about the response to the photo,
Starting point is 00:55:41 both through the political lens and through the lens of being a black man who his father was an alcoholic. He grew up with a lot of dysfunction. I believe he's the only of his seven siblings. He's the only one. Two were not incarcerated. So he has this history that on the outside, you see this brilliant black politician. And then you dig through the layers of pain that he was dealing with in his
Starting point is 00:56:05 life and this is not to make an excuse for any behavior because i asked him what happened there why did you what was your intention when you went to that hotel and he talked about that so tam and i heard you say that this is one of the most difficult interviews you've ever done one of you ever been in a room with a couple fighting? Now imagine you're in a room with a couple where the husband is accused of being in a hotel room with another man and he's found naked and unconscious.
Starting point is 00:56:34 And RJ don't play. RJ does not play. She is strong. She is smart. And there were things that she said in the interview that he'd never heard her say. And he was there. He asked if he could sit in the room while I interviewed her and he was crying the entire time. And I know that there are people who will say he is trying to play the victim or
Starting point is 00:57:02 all of these things. I think when you watch this interview, you will see and obviously be able to quote unquote judge for yourself. And I say quote unquote judge because I think that they are past that. They know they're being judged. He knows it and she does too. But I think we might learn a lot more about ourselves through what he is saying in this interview. Andrew is somebody I consider a homie still, but I do feel, and I'm happy you got the interview, but I'm wondering is it too early for him to be speaking?
Starting point is 00:57:30 Because I feel like it's still a lot of healing that needs to happen. I can't answer that for him, and none of us can. He feels like he wants to get back out there. We have this huge election coming up, and is his voice to be discredited because of what may or may not have have happened in that room and i think he's tv you know you are on tv and radio entertainment is addictive so it's political life yes and when you feel it's in your blood and it's your divine journey he doesn't think of himself as a politician He thinks he is on the right side of helping people.
Starting point is 00:58:07 And he doesn't want to be silenced. And he's not going to be able to get back in that space, Charlemagne, until he talks. Until he talks. That's right. And that's what I said. I literally told somebody this week, because when we saw the trailers for the show, I was like, the election is making him itch. He wants to be back out there. He wants to be speaking.
Starting point is 00:58:23 So I feel like he might be rushing things a little bit. Here's the deal. I lean toward believing that he's not rushing because there are things about their marriage that they knew well before us. So while it seems like... This is getting juicy. This is March.
Starting point is 00:58:43 This story did not start in that hotel room in March. And RJ Dillon talks about that in the interview. He talks about how we all think we know their story, their story and what happened didn't start in March. And she directly answers that question. And he does, too. Wow. Wow. Wow. One quick question. And you can answers that question. And he does too. Wow, wow, wow. One quick question. And you can correct me if I'm wrong, Ms. Hall.
Starting point is 00:59:09 But I feel like black women daytime hosts get compared to Oprah. And I don't know if that's fair because that bar is very, very high. But I don't see white women hosts. They don't seem to have that pressure. Well, because they don't have an Oprah. All content hosts are compared to Oprah. Everybody is. Just like every podcast hosts are compared to Oprah. Everybody is. Just like every basketball player is compared to Jordan.
Starting point is 00:59:29 And the rest will be compared to LeBron. I think that, you know, my brother jokingly calls me Nopra. Wow. And so when people call me Halle Berry, he calls me Halle Scary. He was like, listen, don't do this. I think that. It keeps you humble. I think it's natural. I think that she's the best to ever do it. I'm sure you saw The Last Dance. There will be a documentary
Starting point is 00:59:55 at some point in time. And yes, she's had her failings. She's had her questionable decisions that she made. And we can dissect all of that. But to deny that she's the best to ever do daytime yeah it's it's impossible so i don't think it's as much as a comparison as it is are you really comparing someone to jordan or is he the prototype is he the blueprint and that's what i think that is but no don't don't please understand when people people say, oh, you're going to be the next Oprah or she's trying to be Oprah, what would I be trying to be? If you're trying to be Oprah, what you're trying to be is simply the best.
Starting point is 01:00:32 There you go. Well, congratulations on a new season. Happy early birthday. And what would your stripper name have been before you get out of here since you said you were trying to think what would you do next? Well, I can tell you I used to check into hotel rooms with a name that I guess since I said it once out loud, I could use it. It's DJ Warm Cookies.
Starting point is 01:00:52 DJ Warm Cookies. DJ Warm Cookies to the stage. Warm Cookies to the stage. How many times have you stayed at the Double Tree Hotel? Why is your name Warm Cookies? Wow. So many thoughts going on in my head right now. name Warm Cookies? Wow. So many thoughts going on in my head right now. Warm Cookies.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Wow. Whoa, where did that come from? It's not exactly warm, but it's okay. Alright. That probably feels nice. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Tamron Hall, for joining us this morning.
Starting point is 01:01:23 Warm Cookies. We see you in these streets, Warm Cookies. It's the Breakfast Club. Hey, Warm-Ass Cookies, that's you. I'm a married woman. Do not talk to me that way. It's Tamron Hall. It's the Breakfast Club. I'm going to go for a ring today.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Oh, that's horrible. Whoa. Oh, another rumor. Oh, okay. Like, Tamron Hall is married, but DJ Warm Cookies is single. There you go. Tell your husband I said peace, too, man. He's a good dude.
Starting point is 01:01:53 I met him at the Tyler Perry thing. Oh, yeah. He loves you, too. He's a good man. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:02:00 It's DJ. You can't see my feet? Envy. First of all, ever since somebody said Envy had nice feet and put him on all those foot pages, he out here clipping his toenails on the show. My toes got to stay fresh. I got my toes got to stay fresh.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Put them on the camera because it's a toe fetish people want to see. I ain't going to do that. All right, well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Andrew Gillum. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip.
Starting point is 01:02:23 The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. All right, so you just heard our interview with Tamron Hall, and this Andrew Gillum interview is going to be on the Tamron Hall show today. Well, amongst the things that he discussed, Andrew Gillum talked about not recognizing himself when those pictures first came out. The reason why I went to that room is probably no different than how anybody might communicate with someone that they are in a friendship, relationship, whatever. I understand very well what people assume about that. When that
Starting point is 01:02:59 photo came out, I didn't recognize the person on the floor. That was not anything more than a person being at their most vulnerable state, unconscious, having given no consent. And someone decided to use a moment where I was literally lying in my own vomit. And he also talked about recovering from the shame of it all. So much of my recovery has been about trying to get over shame. Shame is not that I did that, but I am bad. Has he recovered from the shame of it all though? I feel like in a lot of ways, Andrew is rushing his healing process. I'm going to watch that today, but I tell you, man, unless you're ready to be a hundred percent honest and live in your truth fully,
Starting point is 01:03:46 there's no reason to be talking. Okay, but I'm going to watch the whole interview first before I come to a conclusion. But I feel like he's rushing his healing process just because it's an election year. He wants to be out there, you know, helping Senator Harris get into the White House. And I think he's doing that at the expense of himself. I don't think that's a good thing. And his family. All right.
Starting point is 01:04:07 Well, let's watch that full interview today. It's his first one since that incident. All right. Now, let's go. He could be being totally honest. I haven't seen it yet. Yeah, maybe he is. Maybe he's going to be completely honest.
Starting point is 01:04:17 We don't know. Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight versus Battle was on yesterday, and it was a true celebration. I loved watching the two of them together. It was great. Now, Dionne Warwick also joined in on the fun. If I go away. Dionne Warwick.
Starting point is 01:04:34 Hello, everybody. This is our other sister. I want to tell y'all, y'all been singing your faces all got here. I've been loving every second. I really have. It's been wonderful, wonderful I want you to keep smiling Keep shining
Starting point is 01:04:51 Knowing you can always count on me For sure All these classic songs, guys It was so amazing, man They sang some of the songs, the stories It was a great celebration. Shout out to Swizz. Shout out to Timbaland.
Starting point is 01:05:07 Great celebration. You want to hear some of that singing? Mm-hmm. Oh, hope is for me But I just don't feel like talking to anyone Ow! Emptiness has found me And it just won't let me go And yo, stop disrespecting those queens by calling them aunties.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Okay, that energy they got, that life experience they got, that's all grandma energy. That's your mama's mama. That's big mama. Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, Dionne Warwick, those are big mamas. Don't disrespect those queens by calling them aunties. Your 40-year-old ass is auntie. That's big mama right there.
Starting point is 01:05:59 And that energy that they gave us last night is exactly how I want my life to be. It was warm, It was joyful. It was unbothered. And you just felt God. It just felt warm, like a hug, like grits and eggs, like sweet potato pie, like a stewed chicken with gravy. Like it just felt good.
Starting point is 01:06:15 I'll tell you one thing. Patti LaBelle invited me and my family to Thanksgiving dinner. And every year I haven't gone. I'm not going to go this year, of course, because of COVID. But if I get another invitation, I'm definitely going. I need to put that on my bucket list. I need the kids to be over there and try all Patty's food and desserts. I'm excited about that.
Starting point is 01:06:34 Especially when you saw that cook-off they had before this happened. Yeah, I got invited to Patty's house yesterday. And I was telling my wife as we was watching it, like, we should have went. I definitely did. Certain things like that, certain things like that, you gotta take advantage of. You know what I'm saying? That's a living legend. That's an icon.
Starting point is 01:06:56 You know what I mean? We're not gonna see too many of those in our lifetime ever again. Patty should have done her collab with Ply. Somebody Loves You. She got a collab with Ply? No, she said she should have. Stop it, man. You know he ain't got no damn thing with Ply, man.
Starting point is 01:07:11 Yo, can you imagine if there was a group? Patti Ply? Imagine Patti Ply. That'd be a hell of a group. Alright. Trevor Noah was saying that gender reveal parties should not happen until the child is old enough to know their actual gender. Listen to this.
Starting point is 01:07:29 These gender reveals have gone too far! 10,000 acres have burned, and it's not even the first time this kind of thing has happened. And aside from all the damage it can cause, celebrating a baby's genitalia is starting to feel very outdated. Like, given everything we're learning about gender, gender reveal parties should only happen when the child is old enough to know their actual gender and to pitch in some cash for the fire damage.
Starting point is 01:07:54 People were mad about this. I can see why. Trevor's my man, but I can't tell if he's joking or not with that one. It sounds like it was a joke. I just can't tell, but you never know nowadays because it could have been a joke, but it could have been one of those moments where someone is so woke that they just need some sleep. It sounded like a real joke. It sounded like something that was like tongue
Starting point is 01:08:13 in cheek, but there's truth to it. See, I couldn't tell. That's the problem when you're not in the studio. Even though I do like Trevor's show from home, the Daily Social Distance show, but if there's no laughter, I can't tell what's a joke and what's not. So I can't tell if he was really being serious in that moment. What do y'all think?
Starting point is 01:08:31 I see what he says, though. Celebrating a baby's genitalia is feeling outdated. Is it? Is it? I don't think so. Like, yay, blue. He has a penis. It's blue.
Starting point is 01:08:41 No, but you want to know, especially for parents, because they're preparing for the baby to come. So usually if it's a boy, they do a blue room. Or if it's a girl, they do a pink room. That's usually what it's for. It's not the fact they're saying, oh, it's a penis or a vagina. It's more like the baby's coming into the world. Who decided the pinkest girls and blueest boys anyway?
Starting point is 01:08:58 That's just what we do as parents. I don't know who decided. Yeah, I don't know who decided the symbolism, but I personally like gender reveals. I saw my man, my brother Wax and his girl Carla,
Starting point is 01:09:09 they did their gender reveal a couple weeks ago and they made it an event. I personally like gender reveals. Now, when that kid is, when that kid is a certain age, you know, if he decides something else
Starting point is 01:09:21 for himself or she decides something else for herself, cool. But in the meantime. How long ago did these gender reveal parties even start happening? Like, what's the history of that? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:32 Because I don't remember those from that long ago. No, it wasn't when I was having my babies. Definitely not. And I had my last one, what, four years ago? So it definitely wasn't around four years ago. Yeah, they said it's pretty modern. They said it started in the late 2000s. They said one of the earliest examples was in 2008.
Starting point is 01:09:48 Oh, really? That's just another reason to party. You know what I'm saying? You celebrate being pregnant, and then you have a gender reveal. It's a way to get everybody together. Then you do a baby shower. Just getting the most out of your pregnancy. That's all.
Starting point is 01:09:58 Until you start some California wildfires. And how did they start the wildfires? Were they doing fireworks or something? Does anybody know how? First of all, I need y'all to think for one second. Wildfires in California was happening long before gender reveals. All right? So I don't know why all of a sudden they're blaming this on a gender reveal.
Starting point is 01:10:16 All right? Well, the latest one was a gender reveal, the party that started it. That's why. Yeah, but they're making it seem like all wildfires are because of gender reveals. No, they're not. No, they didn't. They said that last one in particular was. And they said that's not the first time that's why. Yeah, but they're making it seem like all wildfires are because of gender reveals. No, they didn't. They said that last one in particular was. And they said that's not the first time that's happened.
Starting point is 01:10:30 The way Trevor Noah spun it just now kind of made it seem like, well, stop gender reveals because you're causing wildfires. The truth of the matter is. He made his name like that a little bit. He did. Smokey the Bear told us a long time ago, only you can prevent forest fires. Man, gender reveal party also killed a grandmother-to-be. There's all kinds of things going on.
Starting point is 01:10:50 What? Yeah, this guy had a detonation of a pipe bomb. It killed a grandmother during a gender reveal party last year. That's not funny. Crazy. You don't warn grandmas. You got to warn granny, man. Why did he light a pipe bomb?
Starting point is 01:11:04 There's more to this story. People try to do all kinds of pyro technical displays and things happening. Come on. Come on. All right. So, yeah, if you're going to do that, let's be safe. Lord. All right.
Starting point is 01:11:17 Well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Charlemagne. Yes, sir. Who are you giving that donkey to? We have to have a discussion about this young lady.
Starting point is 01:11:27 She actually is from the country of Slovenia. Scamming is going too far all across the world. We'll talk about it. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:11:38 The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hey, it's Angela Yee with The General Insurance. Accidents, violations, no prior insurance, even missed a few payments? Don't worry. The General covers you when others won't, and they accept most cars and drivers. Give them a call at
Starting point is 01:11:53 800-GENERAL or visit thegeneral.com. Some restrictions apply. We're gonna be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey shit. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Desi? Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:12:10 I have become donkey of the day. It's a breakfast club, bitches. We're a donkey. Donkey of the Day for Monday, September 14th goes to a woman who is a citizen of Slovenia. Did I pronounce that right, Yee? Slovenia? Yeah, I think it's Slovenia. Did I pronounce that right, Yee? Slovenia? Yeah, I think it's Slovenia. Okay. Well, her name is Julejia Adlesic. I have no idea if I pronounced that woman's name right.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Yeah, I don't know if you pronounced that right. No, no, no. Please forgive me. I've never seen those combination of letters together before. Now, don't you ever think that all the people who get the credit they deserve for being stupid live in America, mainly Florida. No way. That is never the case. These hee-haws are international, universal. And today's donkey is from another country, but it's a moment to teach. Okay. It's a lesson that we all should know. And it's a simple one. Let's open up our Bibles and turn to 1 Timothy 6, chapter 6, verse 10. For the love of money is the root of all evil. Simple concept, okay? It truly is.
Starting point is 01:13:07 Money is what makes people make permanent decisions based off temporary feelings, okay? That temporary feeling is the feeling of not being able to pay your bills, not being able to pay your rent, not being able to afford food. Hell, sometimes that temporary feeling is just so you want to stunt on the gram, okay? Folks be having so much money on IG nowadays that you would think wealth inequality was a thing of the past. One reason it seems like it's so much money going around,
Starting point is 01:13:31 at least here in America, is because everybody is scamming. Back in July, the FBI reported that it was a spike in fraudulent unemployment insurance claims related to the whole coronavirus, you know, pandemic. Every day you can literally hear another story of someone going to jail for PPP fraud. I read a story this morning like seven folks from Georgia and South Carolina were charged in a $2.1 million laundering scheme from PPP money.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Last week we heard about Josh Bellamy, the former NFL player who was arrested because he allegedly got millions in coronavirus relief funding and spent it all on Dior, Gucci, and casino trips. Somebody out there right now committing PPP fraud, and God told me to tell you that you are going to jail. All that scamming you're doing just to stunt, only person you're stunting for is Satan. Okay, three days ago, a story came out that the feds arrested 57 people since May for PPP fraud. Folks have stolen more than $175 million. Okay. In PPP scans. The moral of the story is you're going to jail eventually. And that brings me back to the story of this woman whose name I can't pronounce, Julia Adlesic. okay, who decided to lend a helping hand to her boyfriend.
Starting point is 01:14:47 See, according to TMZ, her boyfriend created a plan to collect on some insurance money. In fact, they took out five policies totaling more than a million dollars. Now she's 22 years old. I would be lying to you if I said I could tell you exactly what the hell I was doing at the age of 22, okay? I don't remember, but what I do know is whatever I was on at 22, I'm not on now. We all make dumb decisions when we were young, but some decisions are just some stupid, stupid decisions that alter your life irreparably forever. Well, this woman chose the latter.
Starting point is 01:15:19 She made a decision that would change her world forever, all because she was chasing the bag. All of y'all want to be in your bag,. All of y'all want to be in your bag, but none of y'all want to be in your Bible. One scripture, for the love of money is the root of all evil, would have kept her from making this mistake. See, Julejah decided to take a circular saw and cut off her own hand.
Starting point is 01:15:40 And then she filed some sort of disability claim. The insurance policies would have paid her half up front and the rest of the balance in monthly installments. I think you just turned your radio up because you think you heard me, but you're not sure. Did Charlamagne and Uncle Charla just say a woman cut off her whole hand for a million dollar insurance claim? Yes, I said that. Now, I understand, you know, Jalija was willing to lend a helping hand to her boyfriend. Never anything wrong when lending a helping hand to help another person, because in moments like that, you may be the only person who cares enough to help.
Starting point is 01:16:15 But when you say lend a hand, I don't think that's meant literally. Okay, now this woman has been sentenced to two years in prison. The boyfriend got three years. Sounds to me like they gave them the number of fingers that she lost. And I'm going to tell you something. I have tattoos on my body right now that I regret getting in my 20s. Can you imagine being 40-something years old and looking at where your hand used to be and thinking to yourself that you cut your hand off over a raggedy-ass man that's not even going to be with you anymore for a million dollars, a million dollars that I guarantee you would have blown in months. Do you really think two people
Starting point is 01:16:50 who came up with this plan, right? Cutting your hand off, cutting your hand off is the best plan that you could come up with. Do you really think that those two people would know what to do with a million dollars? Furthermore, why didn't he cut his hand off? Why did it have to be all on her? If they were going to do it, why not do it together? One hand can only reach so far. The boyfriend should have said, take my hand together, and we can reach so much further. Here, take my hand.
Starting point is 01:17:17 Scamming, ladies and gentlemen, is not honorable. Scamming, lying, cheating, they all go hand in hand. Okay, Julijah, this guy does not love you. He never did. You know how I know? Because he loves money. And a lot of us, instead of loving people and using money, people often love money and use people.
Starting point is 01:17:37 And you got used. Please don't think he's going to be there for you when you get out because you better believe you can't expect loyalty from people who would do anything for money. and you certainly did anything for money please let remy ma give julia adlasek the biggest hee-haw hee-haw hee-haw you stupid mother are you dumb my god all right all right well thank you for the donkey today, but let's ask the question. What's the question?
Starting point is 01:18:08 Let's ask the question. 800-585-1051. If you were guaranteed a million dollars, would you cut your hand off? Oh, Lord have mercy. Obviously, this lady was down for it, but would you do it? For a man, for a raggedy-ass man.
Starting point is 01:18:23 That man convinced her to do that. Lord have mercy. I can tell you no right now. No thought about it. 585-1051. Call us up. Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:18:33 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Pick up the phone, baby. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 01:18:54 We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, Charlamagne gave Donkey the day to who? This woman whose name I can't pronounce. Her name is like Julita something, but she's from, what's that place called? Slovenia? Slovenia. Slovenia. Her name is Julija Adlesic.
Starting point is 01:19:16 Moral of the story is she cut her goddamn hand off because she and her boyfriend concocted some stupid ass scam that had to do with insurance policies and disability claims. So she cut her hand off to get that million dollars. All right. So we're asking 800-585-1051, would you cut off your hand for a million dollars? That is the question. I mean, it's not even a question for me. No way. It's not going to happen.
Starting point is 01:19:35 Not going to do it. Nope, not going to happen. You guys? Yeah, definitely not. Absolutely not. First of all, money is not important enough to me for me to cut off a body part. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:19:47 Yeah, it's a hard no for me. Hard no with a period. I'm not cutting off something God blessed me with for some damn money. It's people out there who weren't born with fully formed hands, people out there who lost hands in accidents, who would love the opportunity to have their hand back. Hell, they would give a million dollars to actually get a hand. So no, because money comes and goes, but hands don't. Your hands are literally used every day of your life. And if you're willing to cut your hand off for a million dollars,
Starting point is 01:20:14 then you are truly one of the most disloyal people of all time because you can't expect loyalty from people who would do anything for money. And if a person would cut their hand off for money, imagine what they would do to you. No, no, no. I'm good. Alright, well, let's open up the phone line. Let's see what the people say. Hello, who's this? It's Michael. Michael, what's up, brother? Where you calling from? I'm calling from
Starting point is 01:20:36 Queens, Hollis. Hollis, Queens. Alright, where in Hollis, Queens, man? I'm in Jamaica Ave. Oh, okay. So you're by P.S. 34 over there? There you go. Okay, all right. So we're asking for a million dollars.
Starting point is 01:20:49 Would you cut your hand off, bro? The answer is hell no. I would never do that. Nah. Smart man. Because, first of all, a million dollars is not even enough money. I mean, there should really be no price. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 01:21:02 Let's say for 10 million. Would you do it for $10 million? No. I don't care how much money you offer me up front. I'm not going to do it because I need both hands. Okay. Because you said it wasn't enough. I'm like, what's enough?
Starting point is 01:21:15 I mean, I take that back. So then, no, there is no price. Like, I need to go to Africa in a day with both hands. I can't even make it rain in a club with $10 million with just one hand. And your name is Michael? I'm can't even make it rain in a club with $10 million with just one hand. If you had one hand, you'd have to wear a sparkly glove all the time and go, hee hee. Nah, that's not enough.
Starting point is 01:21:33 You could buy another hand. Hello, who's this? Good morning, Jeremiah from California. Alright, brother. Would you cut your hand off for a million dollars? Yes, sir. Lord have mercy. What's wrong with life, bro? Would you cut your hand off for a million dollars? Yes, sir. Lord have mercy. What's wrong with life, bro? Why life so hard?
Starting point is 01:21:47 You would cut your hand off for a mil? Well, yeah, but you got to think about it. You cut it off. You got the bread. Depending on how fast you get it situated, you use that mil to get that arm put, I mean, that hand put back on. You probably spent a million getting a new hand.
Starting point is 01:22:01 What the hell is wrong with you? With the surgery, all that, you can get that put back on, I'm sure. You mean like reattached? Oh, my goodness. I'm sure it won't work. Okay, hold on. I'm about to look this up. Surgery reattachment price for a hand.
Starting point is 01:22:15 Let's see how much this costs. You already bad with your money. Okay, how much does hand, finger, tendon repair cost? It ranges from $3,600 to $9,100. So $10,000. But your hand don't work the same. It can't work the same. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:22:34 You've got to time it all. You've got to put your hand in the freezer, and you've got to go ahead and rush to the hospital. You watch so much TV, bro. Hey, leave me alone, man. You know what? I'm not even going to stay with you long. If you would let your hand get cut off for a million dollars,
Starting point is 01:22:47 there's a lot of things you would do, some strange things for some change. Yeah, you might as well just suck a dick. What? Yo, you might as well just give up some booty. Would you do that for a million dollars, sir? No, absolutely not. Look how homophobic people are. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:23:03 You cut your hand off Alright okay okay Let's keep it in the hand Would you give another man a hand for a million dollars Negative That is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life You'll cut your own hand off You'll cut your own hand
Starting point is 01:23:18 Would not give a man a hand for a million No because your hand You can get your hand back You can't your hand back. Once you give a man a hand, you can't take that back. I know what he would do. Don't hang up on him yet.
Starting point is 01:23:32 Have you hung up on him? He's still there? I think that you would give a man a hand for a million dollars, but then for an additional million, you would cut that hand off. You would get rid of that little homophobic hand, wouldn't you? No. Still wouldn't do it.
Starting point is 01:23:49 You crazy. What about, would you do it to release water for the Fyre Festival? What? What? Thank you, sir. 800-585-1051. Would you cut your hand off for a million dollars?
Starting point is 01:24:06 That is the question. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it now. I know I'm in. I know I'm in. I know I'm in. I know I'm in.
Starting point is 01:24:13 That kid don't even deal with that. Call me. Add your opinions to The Breakfast Club top. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:24:30 Now, if you just joined us, Charlamagne gave Donkey the day to who, Charlamagne? This woman from this country I can't pronounce, and I can't pronounce her name. She's from Slovenia. I think that's what it's called. And her name is Jolita. There you go, Slovenia. And her name is Jolita. There you go, Slovenia. And her name is Jolita. I don't freaking know.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Bottom line is she cut her goddamn hand off because she had five insurance policies her and her boyfriend took out, and it was for a million dollars. So she cut her hand off to get a disability claim, and now she's in prison, her and her boyfriend. All right. So we're asking 800-585-1051, would you cut off your hand for a million dollars?
Starting point is 01:25:07 Hello, who's this? Yes. Hey, what's your name, Mama? First of all, how old are you? Do I have to answer that? Yes. I need to know. She's of age.
Starting point is 01:25:17 She's of age. She's of age. You can hear her voice. I'm definitely of age. Yeah, at first you sounded a little young, but good morning. Good morning. Would you cut off your arm, your hand for a million you sounded a little young, but good morning. Good morning. Would you cut off your arm, your hand, for a million dollars, mama? No, I would not.

Starting point is 01:25:41 Thank you very much. I'm just trying to get some Faith restored in humanity this morning Because that last caller Confused the hell out of me Alright Hello Hello who's this? Andrew
Starting point is 01:25:52 Andrew Andrew He definitely was Andrew I know Now Andrew would you cut off your Your hand for a million dollars bro? Yeah I'm not cutting my hand off man
Starting point is 01:26:03 It's deeper than that man It's like You that, man. You can see now that the world is all messed up. Why'd she cut it off? Why would he even ask her? Man, we lost, man. We lost. Yeah, I'm going to be honest with you, and I feel bad because I prejudged you, man. I heard some real distinct
Starting point is 01:26:18 tones in your voice, and I thought that you was just about to tell us you was going to get rid of your hand for a million, so I'm sorry for judging that, brother. Yeah, I thought so too. I ain't going to front row. Man, your hand, you can make a million dollars with your hand. It's a gig economy. Man, you can make a million dollars
Starting point is 01:26:31 with your hands nowadays easily. And she's 22 when she's 22, right? So in 20 years, she could have made millions of dollars. Her whole hand. You could also type with your toes. Her whole hand. You know, I wouldn't even cut my mustache off for a million. What?
Starting point is 01:26:47 How did they know? Okay, come on now. Come on now. You wouldn't cut your mustache off for a million dollars? You sound crazy. But see, listen. I've done, I done had money. I done been broke.
Starting point is 01:26:57 It's not even about money no more. It's about morals. We got to bring that back. You lost that. So morally, you don't cut up your mustache for a million dollars? Me too. They got a list somewhere where they already threw out everything they was going to buy with that million dollars. You probably got a diamond studded hand.
Starting point is 01:27:13 No, we got to go back. We need to go back. The mustache can go for a million, brother. It's out of here. Come on now. A million for a mustache? Mustache can go. It's not a body part.
Starting point is 01:27:24 Maybe. You can grow that back, bro. It's a mustache. You are ridiculous for that one. You ain't think that one through. You ain't think that one through. Mustache. No mustache, man.
Starting point is 01:27:33 We can't trust you that much. What? That's a poor decision if you don't want to cut your mustache off. Yeah, I can't. For a million dollars. Yeah. Okay, yeah. Maybe your mustache can go, but a hand can't do that.
Starting point is 01:27:44 Yes. Oh, my goodness. All right, all right. It's too woke just now. Look where we are, y'all. That's the question. I get exactly what you're saying, but you sound a little too woke. You need to get some sleep, too, because a hand and a mustache is two totally different things.
Starting point is 01:27:58 Two totally different things. You have a good one. Would you shave your legs for a million dollars? Would you shave your leg for a million dollars? Would you shave your leg for a million? Would you wax your ass? Why does everything come back to butts and pieces? I don't know where that came from. Where did that come from, man?
Starting point is 01:28:14 You act like I said, would you let me wax your ass for a million? I ain't say nothing like that. We didn't say nothing like that either. What's wrong with your fantasy? Yeah, you just come out of nowhere. What'd you do anal? Nobody said anything. Yo, by the way.
Starting point is 01:28:28 Would you let me wash your ass for a million? Yo, by the way, on Lovecraft Country last night, my God. I don't want to give it away for nobody that didn't see it. I watched it after the Patty Gladys battle. Man. Speaking of. You had a great weekend, huh? You had a great weekend.
Starting point is 01:28:42 First of all, Lovecraft Country is an amazing show, by the way. But Jesus Christ, last night was a bit much. Alright, well, what's the moral to the story, guys, if there is a moral? The moral of the story is money is the root of all evil. Period. And that's the truth to the matter. That's it. However, you should go ahead and shave
Starting point is 01:29:00 your mustache for a million dollars. Yes, and Charlamagne will wax your ass for a million. Do it for free. Now we got rumors on the way. I'm not even paying to see this. Yes, let's talk about Netflix. There's a lot going on with Netflix.
Starting point is 01:29:18 A lot of conflicting things happening. So we'll talk about people who are leaving shows, people who are getting shows picked up, people who are boycotting shows, all about Netflix. All right, we'll get into that next Keep It Locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, tonight is season 29 premiere of Dancing with the Stars. There's some different things happening. You know, Tyra Banks is hosting.
Starting point is 01:29:46 Now, they've also revealed what everybody's going to be dancing to. Nelly is going to be doing the salsa, and he'll be dancing to Ride With Me by Nelly. The Shulman will be doing the Fox... Is that a salsa record? They probably did it over. I guess you can salsa to anything. No, I think they did it over.
Starting point is 01:30:02 You know how they do the records over sometimes? Charles Oakley will also be doing the salsa to In the Club by 50 Cent. Sky Jackson, young Sky Jackson, will be doing the tango to Super Bass by Nicki Minaj. Jeannie Mai will also be salsa-ing to Tell It to My Heart by Taylor Dayne. Vernon Davis will be doing the Foxtrot to All of Me by John Legend. Carole Baskin, as you know, is going to be doing Eye of the Tiger. And you know her from Tiger King. So, this should be pretty interesting tonight.
Starting point is 01:30:32 I think I'm going to watch this. I like the video that Jeannie Ma and Jeezy put out yesterday. That was not Jeezy in that video. That wasn't a Jeezy. That was Jeannie Ma. Where did you get Jeezy from? Natina told me that. Natina said this is a video of Jeezy and Jeannie Maannie Ma. Where did you get Jeezy from? Natina told me that. Natina said this is a video of Jeezy and Jeannie Ma dancing.
Starting point is 01:30:48 So you didn't even look at it? No. I just saw it. I didn't pay no attention. He said, I like the video. Didn't even say that. That wasn't no Jeezy in it. I seen her dancing.
Starting point is 01:30:57 I liked it because I thought, damn, I like to see Jeezy showing a different side of himself. That's crazy. All right., now Nick Cannon is saying that he wants to sit down with Eminem. He was on Fat Joe's Instagram Live, and here's what he said. You know, one day, hopefully dude and I get an opportunity to sit down, because like I said, I do respect
Starting point is 01:31:16 his ability, but if we speak to him. I'm going to try. I'm not acting like I speak to Eminem or you every day. I'm with Fat Joe's going to try to be the mediator, be the big man of this, and try to get y'all together. That's what I've been doing, man.
Starting point is 01:31:30 I've been trying to get, I've talked to Roy. We trying to really get it popping because I figured there ain't too many to have that conversation. Nick Cannon don't want to be having no issues with nobody nowadays. Nah, he want to squash everything.
Starting point is 01:31:42 And I'm cool. I'm fine with it. I like that energy. But like, is that, did they have something that serious that they needed to do that? Nah, he wouldn't squash everything. And I'm cool. I'm fine with it. I like that energy. But, like, is that, did they have something that serious that they needed to do that? Nick Cannon and Eminem? Maybe I missed it. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:31:53 It was over Mariah. Remember all the back and forths that they have? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yo, I hate you, Charlamagne. By the way, the guy in the video with Jeannie Ma is wearing a hood. You could obviously see that the guy's hands are white. But that's not no damn jeez. I did not notice he had
Starting point is 01:32:07 white hands. You did not watch it at all. His body type doesn't even look like he's jeezy. Little Duval put on the post, I see you jeezy. That's probably why he thought it was jeezy. That don't look like no damn jeezy.
Starting point is 01:32:22 I'm sorry, it wasn't Natina. Duval told me that. Duval did say that. It's like this Doe Natina sent to you. Like, check out Jeezy and Jeannie Mai doing the Foxtrot. Yeah, it was Duval. No, no, no, no. Duval did say that. It was Duval.
Starting point is 01:32:34 You're right. I'm sorry, Natina. You did not watch it. All right. Netflix's Dare White People actor Jeremy Tardy is leaving the show. He played Rashid Bakir in 11 episodes of the series, and he said he was discriminated against during pay negotiations. Now he announced on Twitter, he said, unfortunately,
Starting point is 01:32:54 I will not be joining Netflix is dare white people for its fourth and final season. Due to my experience with Lionsgate and their practices of racial discrimination, after being offered to return for several episodes, my team was notified that our counteroffer would not be considered and that the initial offer was the best final. This news was disturbing because one of my white colleagues, being a true ally, revealed that they too had received the same initial offer and had successfully renegotiated a counteroffer.
Starting point is 01:33:19 That's crazy, right? And they said, with this information, six recurring cast members banded together and they passed on the initial offer. So they wanted to move as a unit to have more power within that. Did they get it? He didn't. So he's leaving the show. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:35 And that's through Lionsgate, by the way. I know it's on Netflix, but Lionsgate produces the show. So this is an issue that they have with Lionsgate. Now, in the meantime, Netflix has defended that movie Cuties, right? There's been a lot of backlash over the sexualized portrayal of children in that drama. But what they are saying now, according to Netflix, they're saying it's a social commentary against the sexualization of young children, according to a Netflix spokesperson. It's an award-winning film and a powerful story about the pressure young girls face on social media and
Starting point is 01:34:06 from society more generally growing up and we'd encourage anyone who cares about these important issues to watch the movie. So a lot of people had issues with it but hadn't even seen it yet. Yeah, every time I would post about girlfriends this weekend it would be people in my mission saying, oh you still watching Netflix?
Starting point is 01:34:21 We need to cancel Netflix because of this show called Cuties. So I'm like, you want to cancel the whole goddamn subscription service because of one show? Don't focus on getting the one show canceled. Get rid of the whole streaming service. So you want to get rid of all of the content like Central Park 5, 13, Girlfriends, all of these things you can actually learn from
Starting point is 01:34:44 that depict the black experience in a great way you want to get rid of the whole screaming service because you're against one show y'all are ridiculous contributor for the New Yorker Richard Brody wrote of the movie that Netflix did itself a disservice with the misleading marketing and that's why this campaign is against
Starting point is 01:35:00 it and he said the subject of cuties isn't twerking it's children especially poor and non-white children who are deprived of the resources, the education, the emotional support, the open family discussion to put sexualized media and pop culture into perspective. And he says the story is a girl's outrage
Starting point is 01:35:15 at and defiance of a patriarchal order. So, more to it. Sometimes you gotta watch something. Yeah, because my daughter loves those kind of shows. She loves Dance Mom and you know, she's a competitive cheerleader so because my daughter loves those kind of shows. She loves Dance Mom and, you know, because she's a competitive cheerleader, so she watches all of that kind of stuff. All right, now Halle Berry's MMA film, Bruised,
Starting point is 01:35:33 is reportedly getting picked up by Netflix, and it's a $20 million deal. She said, thank you, Netflix. Excited to go on the journey with you.

He said, first and foremost, I want to apologize to my family, my teammates, and all of those that have always supported me. I made a mistake, something I regret. I will continue to work hard to be better on the court, and more importantly, off the court. Now, some people were saying, just be who you are.
