Well, what's up, what's up?
Good morning, guys.
So I'm in Charleston, South Carolina.
8-4-3.
Yeah, all day, but I still got my 9-1-7 number, you heard?
So I'm an Uber driver, so I was on Folly Beach,
and my phone plays music automatically.
Like, I play a playlist so there's no commercials.
I like to make it feel comfortable.
No offense,
but four Caucasian people got into my car
and I had to take
them 28 minutes away. It was cool.
We were driving.
Wap done played. Trap music
done played.
Fall Out Boy done played. I had a range
of music. Lady Gaga.
And as soon as Beyonce, Brown Skin Girl
came on, the lady in the back, I heard them whispering amongst
themselves, like, who gonna say it?
Finally, somebody was brave enough to come up and say it.
They was like, excuse me, could you turn that song off?
It's offending me.
And I was like, what?
What's that song offending you?
And she said, well, it's all about, like, black girls.
I'm not black.
I don't relate to that.
I was like, so something that's celebrating my skin
is offending you?
So what did I do? I started a whole playlist off don't relate to that. I was like, so something that celebrating my skin is offending you?
So what did I do? I started a whole
playlist off that doggone song. There you go.
And she got all the black power music for all
28 music. Now, wait a minute.
All the way to her destination. Everybody
step back from this situation and look at
it objectively. Oh, boy. You're an Uber
driver. Correct. And when you're an Uber
driver, you're playing music because you want
people to feel comfortable. Correct.
They don't feel comfortable about the song. You don't gotta get
offended by it. She can't relate. She's a
pale-ass mayonnaise-flavored mammal.
Yeah, but it's not that type of song. It's not like
saying, you know, F white people.
It's not that type of song. Yeah, she's just upset that she don't have that
tan. That's all.
I'm just mad that all this trap
music played. We don't hear drug dealer music.
We don't hear rap. We don't hear everything. You didn't get offended by played. We don't hear drug dealer music. We don't hear WAP.
We don't hear everything.
You didn't get offended by nothing.
Because she knows drug dealers.
She knows drug dealers and she uses drugs.
She might have, she got, WAP might mean white ass to her.
Okay.
Oh my goodness.
She just can't relate to me.
What kind of rating did you give her?
Oh, no.
Listen, I gave her the same rating I usually give everybody else
because she didn't rate me no less.
Because she knew she felt stupid after she said it.
All right.
Well, thank you.
Because mind you, if you heard the music that I was playing around,
I was playing Korn, Fall Out Boy.
I was playing all this other stuff in rotation.
If anybody knows what that music is, you would know that it was diverse.
So get off yourself.
And I think you missed a good opportunity to teach, too, though,
because you could have just told her, like, look, this is an ode to melanin.
All right.
That's all.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, how's it going?
It's Fernando.
Good morning.
What's up, Fernando?
Get it off your chest.
Yes, sir.
How's it going?
I got a quick question for Charlamagne, man.
Yes, sir.
I'm going to ask you a question.
I don't know if somebody ever asked you this,
but who's your top three donkeys of all time?
And will you ever consider giving a donkey a Hall of Fame?
Yeah, I mean, at the end of the year, we do a top five donkeys of the year.
I'm going to be honest with you, top donkeys of all time,
Donald Trump is definitely in the top three.
I mean, I've given it to him more than anybody.
And I'm going to always put myself in the top three because I always say, you know, when you give people the credit, you got to give everybody the credit they deserve for being stupid, including yourself.
I don't know who the third one would be, though.
Sounds fair. Sounds fair. Y'all want to close the brawl for the Breakfast Club.
Thank you, King. Thank you, brother.
All right. Have a good one.
Hey, guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout?
Well, that's when the real magic happens.
So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know,
follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run
and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I trade my own country?
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
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.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know
what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust
herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection,
it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have a special guest in the building.
The forever legendary.
Are you okay, Envy?
I was going to say the beautiful.
She has that effect on me.
She does.
We have Nia Long here.
Good morning.
Nia Long.
I saw you got your own day in New York from the mayor also.
Oh, my.
You guys, I cried about that for like a week.
Yay, congratulations.
That was like the biggest honor, and I was so blown away, honestly,
because you don't expect.
Like I have my own day.
August 27th. Yes.
Do you feel the pressure to have to do something on that day now?
Like in New York? Like an event? I have to come here
every year on that day
and talk to you. That's what I got to do.
That's good work. That's fine.
Yeah, we can do that. Let's do it.
It's coming up.
I know it is. How are you though?
I'm okay. I lost my father recently.
Condolences.
Thank you.
He was a great man, and it's amazing.
I learned more about him by being in Trenton, New Jersey, for a week,
just putting the whole thing together than I ever knew.
And he was such an icon in the community
and did so much for so many of those kids living down there.
So I was really proud of him.
He was a poet, right?
He's a poet, yeah.
He's a poet, a writer, a photographer,
like a real, just a renaissance man.
Loved jazz music and good food.
He was really like Lorenz Tate and Lev Jones, but older.
But I felt the school, Trenton High School,
did a beautiful tribute to my father.
I could not stop crying.
I was just like, this is amazing.
Because sometimes what a person can't do for their own children, they do for the world.
And I'm okay with that if that meant that I had to share him.
Oh, I think that's because parents, they learn more as they grow.
So when they was raising us, they were just doing the best they could.
They were 22 years old.
Yeah.
I was thinking about that.
I was thinking.
I said, Mommy, I looked at my mother during the service.
I said, Mommy, you were 22 years old when you had me.
Right now, today, anything, I forgive you for everything.
Because I couldn't have done it at 22.
At 22, I was in the club.
That's been a heavy conversation with my therapist the past couple weeks.
What's that?
That whole conversation about forgiving your parents,
but my father in particular because they only could do the best that they could
because they didn't know any better when they were younger.
You have to really do it for yourself.
If you commit that healing with yourself,
it will honestly change the way you experience your own life.
Because I think for a lot of years I was disappointed and angry,
and I wanted my dad to read me a bedtime story
and be there and do all of the things that a daddy is supposed to do.
And I think my father had a very old school way of approaching life
because black people are raised to survive.
That's right.
And my mother and my grandmother coming from the islands, they had a different philosophy.
So had my parents stayed together, I may have still been an actress, but I don't think it would have happened as quickly as it did in my life.
And I don't think I would have been a
part of the era that really helped to define black cinema when I look at my life and I'm gonna be 50
this f**king year that's great 50 you guys I get to do whatever the f**k I want to do
we gotta we gotta upgrade the term black don't crack. It's got to be something else. 50.
Wow. I can't believe it.
But my point is, is when you get to this age, it's a beautiful time in my life because I can actually put everything into perspective and now it all makes sense.
Right.
And I feel more free and alive than I have in the last 10 years because I have understanding.
And I've forgiven myself for not forgiving people sooner in my own life or forgiving my father for things that he was unable to do.
And it's a good thing to do.
Don't we have the luxury of healing, though, this generation?
Absolutely.
Like this generation has the luxury of healing.
The fact that you just said I've spoken to my therapist about certain things,
black people were not saying that 15, 20
years ago. We were like, we didn't
because there was this, you know,
the idea was if you go to therapy, there's something
really wrong with you. That you're crazy.
That you're crazy. And the reality is, is we
have so much information coming
at us. You need to be
able to sit down and
organize your life and your thoughts.
That's right. And if you don't do that, you will be in a constant state of anxiety.
You'll have anxiety.
Anxiety, yeah.
Yeah.
All right, we got more with Nia Long.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him You would even say it close
Come on, come on
Breakfast Club, bitches
We are The Breakfast Club
We're still kicking it with Nia Long, actress
So Nia, how was your experience producing for the first time?
I like when you said, yeah, I casted Omar
I like that
I didn't mean it like that
Did I say it like that?
It's true
It sounds like life flex.
Because, you know, I've seen you talking about how you see all these white men getting rich off of movies that you're in.
And now look at you producing.
Is that the inspiration for that?
And what was it like being on the other side?
It was difficult at times because I was very specific and deliberate about certain things. And to your point, the crew was white.
The director was white.
The producer was white.
And they were lovely because they allowed me to correct things that needed to be corrected.
But it's still frustrating that you have to over-explain yourself.
I kept feeling like I needed to apologize for wanting to change something.
But why am I apologizing? Right. You're trying to make this the best movie you possibly can
make it and benefit everybody. And that's also being a woman in a position of power where there's
all men around you. I was literally like, there were literally like three women on that set.
And I never backed down. I was like, nope, you need to change that.
Nope, don't like that angle.
Nope, move the camera.
Nope.
You see that a lot.
Like if you know if that's a guy,
then they'll say that guy's being a boss.
But if it's a woman, they'll be like,
oh, Nia Long has a history of diva behavior.
Yeah, for sure.
Because when I started in this business,
you weren't supposed to say anything except thank you.
And I was like, thank you, but.
I wasn't even aware.
I was just being myself.
I just don't think that you need to behave
in any situation.
I think you need to grow and learn.
Do you feel your evolution as a woman
is shown through your characters?
Mm-hmm.
Not in Roxanne.
Roxanne, I don't know that lady.
She's not a part of me.
I do know that lady, but I had
to know that woman and have some experience.
Look, we live right down the street from the projects
when I lived in Brooklyn, to understand
how to play her, right?
I do think so.
I mean, I'd like to do more. I'd like to have more
diversity in my
portfolio. Have you played, you haven't
played your dream role yet, right?
I don't think so.
I think it's also like the body of work is what makes me proud. Right. Such an impact to this day and age. Thank you. And I'm still doing it. But after every job, I'm like, okay, was that the last
one? What's happening next? And it never is. You still got a lot in the pipeline. Yeah, I do. What
do you tell a young actress right now that's watching this and wishing to be you one day or like you one day?
Authenticity.
Don't change based on what you see.
Change based on what you know you need to do to better yourself.
Because I think a lot of times young artists come and they steal a little bit of this and they steal a little bit of that.
But if you really start from your authentic self, all the embellishments will come through your experiences. And that's what
creates and grows the artist. When we did Love Jones, everyone was like, oh my God,
this is like the modern day mahogany. And I was like, okay, but that isn't that what art is?
You take from the past and you recreate it
and you are to be inspired by the thing that came before you
and the thing that's in front of you.
What do you think was different about Black Cinema in the 90s, though,
that's lacking now?
Because Black films don't have that feeling.
I'm sorry.
They just don't.
There's no Boys in the Hood.
There's no Love Joneses.
It don't have that same energy.
I know.
I don't know. Boys in the Hood was a great story. Love Joneses that don't have that same energy. I know. I don't know.
Boys in the Hood was a great story.
Love Jones was a great story.
Menace to Society was a great story.
The stories just be whack, man.
Look, here's the thing.
I think, you know, when you have a person like John Singleton rest his soul,
when he died, that broke my heart.
Right.
He discovered me.
He created a lane for people to even care about my name and so losing him and then
losing my father and i was like god like and they were kind of like the same kind of dude you know
i don't know that they make them like that anymore i don't know that they make men that are so aware of the black struggle, so savvy
to make change
and then make art.
So you gotta produce more. That's the moral of the conversation.
Right. We said all of that
to say... You have to produce more,
Ms. Long. And I will.
Ms. Long has to go, guys. I will.
Thank you. That was a beautiful interview.
The Breakfast Club is Ms. Nia Long.
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.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Now, today is National Pass Gas Day. We're just having
some fun with it. So we're asking
800-585-1051. Do you
have an embarrassing or crazy
passing gas or farting story?
Now our board, Dramos,
he just said when he first started working here
he let one
loose and it was horribly.
It smelled. Let Dramos tell his own story.
Put the mic on his beard okay
there you go it was like my first week working with you guys and you know my stomach was a little
upset you're trying to make a good impression i was trying to yeah so i farted i was hoping
nobody noticed but then of course somebody made a comment about it and you guys behind the air
you blamed our other producer eddie for it and you know i was why didn't you come clean i was
new you know what i'm saying i want to have a bad impression my first week here. So now you're a liar.
Hey, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Now what about, well, we just heard about Charlemagne's story,
him and Curry at the stoplight. Well, listen, here's the thing.
I don't have these problems with embarrassing fart stories
because I don't fart in my clothes.
And the reason I don't fart in my clothes is because
the last time I farted in my clothes was around 2003, 2004.
This was when I was living in Columbia, South Carolina,
working at Hot 1039.
My now wife was going to in Columbia, South Carolina, working at Hot 1039.
My now wife was going to the University of South Carolina.
The night before, I went to this Jamaican spot called Cool Runnings.
I was dropping her off at her dorm,
and I wanted to run upstairs and use her bathroom,
but I could tell it was going to be, like,
one of those really embarrassing, like, nasty, disgusting,
blow-up-the-bathroom type things.
So I tried to make it back home, and I got to the light,
and I was like, I'm going to fart a little bit just to ease off the pressure,
ease the tension off the stomach.
And when I let that little fart out, I felt some warmness
and like some liquidy stuff going down like the back of my leg and my cheeks.
So that wasn't a little.
That was a lot.
So at that point, I had on some Peco jeans.
I think it was called Paco.
Paco.
Remember Paco jeans?
I had on some Paco jeans.
And at that point, I was just like, let it rip.
And so as I kept farting, it just kept coming out nice, warm, and runny.
And then I pulled up to my apartment complex.
All of my cars used to drive a little gray Honda Civic.
And I pulled up to the apartment complex, and I'm like, yo,
I hope my next-door neighbor Val is not outside because her and her friends
would be outside because, like, I'm disgusting right now.
So I ran upstairs.
She wasn't there.
My Paco jeans were destroyed.
And I actually threw the underwear away
but took my Paco jeans to the cleaners
but was too embarrassed to go back for them.
Getting nasty.
Yes.
What about you, Yee?
I farted in my sleep before.
And I only know that because my boyfriend told me.
I do that all the time.
Oh, okay.
So yeah, that's kind of embarrassing.
And then there's times when I've had to really struggle
to hold it in during times that, you know, it's a really bad time to fart.
You know, I'm the king of getting in the elevator farting and then not thinking nobody else is going to come.
And then the elevator stops on another floor and they walk in.
And I always got to be like, I don't know who did this before I got in there.
Well, another reason I don't fart around people because I tell people all the time,
farting is a form of flirting.
So if you're a man who likes to fart
around another man,
like you're really
sending off signals.
Really?
Those are like male pheromones.
Men got pheromones, right?
So those are ass pheromones.
Those are pheromones
from your ass.
Pheromones.
Basically, you just don't,
if you don't want another man
to think you're flirting with him,
don't fart around him
because the truth to the matter is why would you want another man to know what your ass smell like? And the worst is when you don't know Sounds like an think you're flirting with him, don't fart around him. Because the truth to the matter is,
why would you want another man to know what your ass smell like?
And the worst is when you don't know your...
Sounds like an invite to me, God.
When you're about to fart and you don't know it and you go to pee
and a significant other is in the bed and they hear you fart while you pee.
What about when you sneeze and fart at the same time,
but you don't know if people heard the fart?
I do that as well.
So you don't say nothing.
You don't say nothing, just keep it quiet.
The sneeze is so loud, but the fart sounds just as loud,
so you just don't say nothing. You don't say that. Just keep it quiet. Because the sneeze is so loud. But the fart sounded just as loud. So you just don't say nothing.
Janae.
Hi, guys.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe I made it through.
Where you been farting at, huh?
Well, it's actually not me.
I witnessed a fart.
So my husband and I and a group of friends went to the African American Museum in Washington, D.C.
And it was really quiet.
Everyone was taking it in.
And this old white guy, he farted so loudly and tried to play it off like it wasn really quiet. Everyone was taking it in. And this old white guy, he farted so loudly
and tried to play it off like it wasn't him.
Now, how old is he now?
He had to have been like 70.
He can't control that.
You got to let a 70-year-old man fart
when he wants to fart, man.
He's earning the right.
He played it.
It's just the context that we were in.
We're in an African-American museum.
You're an old white guy, and you're just going to fart
while everybody's just trying to take in this.
He ain't doing it on purpose.
You was making him nervous.
You think he did it on purpose?
He's 70 years old in an African-American museum.
His granddaddy killed some of those people y'all was looking at.
Come on now.
805-805-105.
Y'all have no sympathy for nobody.
When we're talking fart stories. I'm scared
to sleep on a plane sometimes. I know when I sleep on a plane,
I know I like that plane up.
Yeah, I can attest that you have.
See? Hello, who's this?
Jay Cotty. Hey, what's up, bro? We're talking about
embarrassing fart stories.
So, yeah, look, I was in a club one night, and
the club was letting out, and we was
in line to get our coats. I had
gas bad as hell, and I'm a toilet. I was trying to be, you know, to get our coats, I had gas bad as hell.
And I'm a told it.
I was trying to be, you know, cordial or whatever, but it was too, it was too chicksy-timey and I had to let it go.
When I let it go, I tried to play it off and turn around like, man, where the
hell that came from?
When I tell you, they was looking at me so crazy.
Like, I knew it was no black ass.
Like, we knew it was no black ass.
I just was like, you know, like, I tried to play it off,
but it funked the club up.
I really got two stories.
I met Yee in Detroit, like, a few weeks ago.
You farted with Yee in Detroit?
Oh, my gosh.
Listen.
Man, listen.
The picture we took, Yee, your face was so priceless.
Like, it just looked like I farted.
I don't know if I...
Was this in Foot Locker?
No, this was at La Tocha.
Oh, okay.
That's a little while.
Okay, yeah, you probably did fart.
You just farted all over the place.
And you a chef, nasty ass?
I don't feel sorry for none of y'all
because I think all of y'all are terrorists.
First of all, you fart in your clothes.
And when you fart in front of people or on people,
especially in enclosed places, you need to be arrested.
We need to treat, like, especially farting on a plane,
we need to treat that the way we treat people
who threaten the president.
But for some reason, when you go up on that plane,
something with the air and whatever, it makes you want to fart.
No, that's just you, sir.
It makes you want to fart?
Yes.
It's probably what you eat before you get on the plane.
When you're on the plane, it gives you more gas?
No.
I've never felt like that.
I got gas right now.
We believe you.
What's up, bro?
You're a very gassy person.
I ain't flirting with y'all.
Hello, who's this?
Hello.
Hey. Hey, we're a very gassy person. I ain't flirting with y'all. Hello, who's this? Hey.
Hey, we're talking about embarrassing fart stories.
Yeah, so one night I was getting my son ready for bed,
reading him a little story,
and tried to slide one out real silent.
Came out a little louder than anticipated.
And I said, ooh, mommy's sorry.
He said, what was that?
I said, mommy farted.
I said, okay.
He said, with sheer disappointment on I said, Mommy farted. That's how Kanye said it with sheer disappointment on his face.
Mommy fart?
Yeah.
Yeah, but same thing comes out of me as it comes out of you.
Uh-oh.
That's not true.
I wouldn't say that to him.
It's going to be that time of month one day,
and he might see a little bit more than he needs to see.
And you can't say what comes out of mommy comes out of you.
Out of my butt.
How's that?
Okay.
You're going to tell everybody at school.
That's right.
If one day you wake up and your son's butt is bleeding,
you better call goddamn diapers.
You go too far.
Hello, who's this?
Kobe.
Kobe, we're talking about your embarrassing fart stories.
One time I was eating this girl's from the back.
You farted?
I heard a sound that sounded similar to a fart.
She claimed that she queefed.
Yeah, that could be a queef.
Getting farted on your nose or queefed on your tongue.
Did you smell it?
The room smelled like weed, so I really didn't even notice.
You know what, man?
If you didn't smell it, it was a queef.
A lot of women are a member of a tribe called Queef.
I don't see anything wrong with that.
Don't shame her for queefing.
Yeah, queefing happens.
I didn't shame her.
She just finished up and it was a night as usual.
What did it sound like?
What did it sound like?
Did you stop or did you stay down there?
I think you got a flat tire, bro. Yo, you might want to pull there? I think you got a flat tire, bro.
Yo, you might want to pull over.
I think you got a flat.
Yo.
Oh, my goodness.
Somebody call AAA for the homie, yo.
Goodbye.
Yo.
Oh, my goodness.
What's the moral of the story?
The moral of the story is when someone sneezes, you say, God bless you.
When someone farts, what do you say?
I'm asking for a friend.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Because I just feel like you should say something. If you hear hear a fart out loud you can't act like you didn't
hear it right you just say excuse you excuse you excuse you excuse you you nasty piece of
you all right we got more coming up next we're the breakfast club
happy holidays wishing you and your family the very best this holiday season from all of us here at The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's
doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of
Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial
tradition. The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go
wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morris Day. Man. Yes. Light skin is always in the building.
Hey, you know it.
You know it.
How y'all doing?
We're doing good.
We're blessed black and highly favored.
I feel like I know you because my daddy used to listen to so much Morris Day and the time
growing up.
And, you know, in Monk's Corner, South Carolina, in his little juke joint, he always was playing
Morris Day and the time.
Hey, props to Pops.
Yes, sir.
And you still got the good hairline popping.
Hey, watch out now, you know.
Hey, we got to keep it nice,
you know.
Mars is here
because he's released
a new book.
Mm-hmm.
But let's start
because there might be
some people that don't know
who Mars Day is
that listen to The Breakfast Club.
So let's explain to the people
who Mars Day is
and how you got your start.
So where are you from?
You started high school. Who you went to high school with and how you got your start. So where are you from? You started high school, you went to high school with it,
and how you got started in the music industry?
Well, I'm actually from a small town in Illinois, Springfield,
which is actually the capital.
Everybody thinks Chicago is, but it's Springfield.
In early years, you know, but then I moved to Minneapolis.
We were supposed to be going to California,
but my mom said we're going to stop in Minneapolis to visit a sick aunt, and we stayed there for the next 20 years.
Wow.
You know, it turned out I lived on the same block that Prince did around the corner, and I didn't even, I didn't know.
You know, I mean, he was like 10 years old, and I'd see him and his sister Tyka playing outside.
And I didn't meet him until like four or five years later and ended up being in the same band with him.
We had a band called Grand Central.
And, you know, Prince helped me get my start.
He got his solo start and helped me get my start.
And, you know, it's kind of history from there.
So y'all literally grew up together in the same neighborhood
since y'all was 10 years old.
And didn't know it.
Now, was he always good at basketball?
Did y'all used to play basketball?
I didn't know him. I mean, he always good in basketball? Did y'all used to play basketball? I didn't know him.
I mean, I saw him back then, you know,
playing outside with his sister.
But, you know, I didn't find out, you know,
that he was a musician and all that
until like five years later, like 14, 15 years old.
But yeah, he was an awesome basketball player.
Now, your book is interesting how you wrote it
because a lot of it is what you
would imagine Prince would respond to some of the stories that you have to tell in your recollections
of you coming up and becoming you know the Morris Day and the time and the whole journey to get to
that point so it seems like you guys had such an interesting relationship because y'all knew each
other for so long he was very much intricately involved with you becoming the superstar that you became, but then there
were some discrepancies between you two along the way. You know, brothers fight.
But you're right. You better believe that the responses that in the book that I came up with
are real world responses because, you know, we knew each other well.
After I got out of his camp, you know,
we didn't talk all that much,
but we spent a lot of time together in the early years.
On time, a princely life in funk.
Let me ask you a question, Mr. D.
Do you feel you get your proper credit
or do people think of you as just a prince creation?
Well, you know, some people think that,
and, you know, social media is beautiful and it's ugly at the same time. As far as credit, you know, some people think that and, you know, social media is beautiful and it's ugly at the same time.
As far as credit, you know, I know what I did, you know, in the organization.
If anybody questions whether I can write a song, then you need to research that because that's how I got my start.
But Prince was such a creative genius.
I would never dispute how somebody feels about him versus me.
I'm humble about that.
You know, I think people are entitled to their opinions, and it's all good.
Do you think that if you would have tried to negotiate more for yourself,
that you would have been in the position that you were in with him,
or you think he would have shut it down?
Because it feels like he was like, this is what it is, take it or leave it.
That's the way he came across.
But sometimes I question if I had taken a harder position with him,
I'd probably have a little more of that Purple Rain money.
Yeah, and you brought up an interesting point
because your songs aren't on the soundtrack.
Not at all.
And those were huge songs,
and I think it would have benefited the actual soundtrack.
There were some other songs in the movie that weren't on the soundtrack also.
Yeah, no, we had decent sales,
but had we been on the soundtrack,
which was a shrewd move on the brothers' part,
you know, the sales would have been,
you know, substantially greater.
What was your relationship when he passed away?
Did y'all have a tight relationship,
good relationship?
You know, I've been fortunate enough
to not really have people close to me pass away.
So that was a real shocker for me.
That was that was the closest.
Well, one of the closest people to me.
And we he he insisted that we come to Paisley Park to do a show for him.
And in the past, he kind of stiffed me a few times.
So I was like, brother, if you want me to bring my band to Minneapolis again, you're going to have to pay me up front. And, you know, he sent all the money and everything.
And we went there and he was very gracious and we got to talk. We talked before the show,
we talked after the show and in part, and he said, you know, I love you. And he had never said
anything like that to me before. And was like I love you and that was pretty
much the last words that we had so I you know I walked away from that feeling
like what changed you know what's different why did he say that and two
months later that was it Wow Wow now one thing that people might not know is that
you had Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis as part of your band early on before they
went to go become the super producers and writers who they are. So how did you mend that relationship after you fired them from working with you?
Damn it, man. You just gonna fire those super producers? You could have signed them. It's in
the book. It's in the book. But how do you amend a relationship like that? Because to me, it's like,
look, we popping over here, you know? So do we need to come back and work again?
So how does that even, like, how does that conversation happen?
That's a great question.
You know what?
First of all, I didn't fire them.
I was signed to Prince's production company, and he fired.
Prince fired Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
He's not here to defend himself, Morris.
We don't know if we believe your story.
You know what?
I want the brother to rest in peace,
so I ain't going to sit here and lie on him,
but I will tell you, he fired him.
That was a tough moment for me
because we were in the studio recording Ice Cream Castles,
not just the album, but the song Ice Cream Castles.
And he called them in, and they showed up,
and he fired them.
And, you know, one of my pet peeves coming up as a musician
was I always hated to see one of my favorite bands start replacing members.
Because I like my bands to stay the way I like them.
And, you know, I really dropped my head and had a real tough day when he did fire them.
So I never had a relationship to heal with them because they know I didn't fire them.
Okay.
Could the time have been as successful as they were
if Alexander O'Neal remained the lead and not you?
Well, they wouldn't have had a lead singer
who was quite as pretty, but I don't know.
You know, I don't know.
I think it would have changed the whole dynamic of things.
To be honest, I love Alex.
Alex is an incredible singer.
I wish I could sing half
as well as Alex. But it just would have been a whole different dynamic. And, you know, Alex and
I were, we were best buddies, you know, back through then. But he wanted something, you know,
more than what we had. And it just kind of turned out. I just wanted to be a drummer.
So I kind of got pushed out there. We tried a few lead singers, including Alex,
and it didn't work out,
and Prince was like, well, you do it.
How often did give the drummer something get you late?
Well, getting the lead singer something
works a little better.
All right, we got more with the legendary Morris Day.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's D.J. Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Morris Day.
Charlamagne?
Did writing this book serve as a form of therapy to work out
maybe some remaining grief you had from the loss of Prince?
You like to ask some good questions, don't you?
Yeah.
No, it was definitely therapeutic because I found myself going down, you know, memory lane in a way that I probably didn't want to at times.
And at times it was really great. And I always thought in my life I would like to like do the memoirs of Morris Day.
And I just didn't know that I would do them as soon as I did. And, you know, at times it was painful, but it was therapeutic because I did get some things off my chest and revisit some things that I probably needed to revisit.
And how did being in the band, and you also battled your own demons during that time, affect your relationships?
You know, because you did get married, you did have children during that time.
So how did that affect your relationships?
Well, you know, the demons are among us. married. You did have children during that time. So how did that affect your relationships?
Well, you know, the demons are among us. So, but I dealt with them big time when I was younger and dumber, you know, but fortunately, you know, God had a plan for me. I'm still here. I think I'm
doing better than I ever have, you know, even through this pandemic, they call it. But, you know, it's
life is life. You know, you got to deal with it. I had some serious demons, but, you know,
and they caused some serious damage to me and other people. But, you know, I got through it.
Everybody got through it. What did your kids say reading this book? Because I know you reflected
on how you wish you would have had a better relationship while your kids were young. So how did you mend that? And what did they say when they
read this? The love from kids is unconditional. It's a true statement. So my kids don't really
drag me through it so much about, you know, how I was. I really wasn't that bad. I'm not like a bad person, but, you know, my older kids, you know, you know, my oldest is 43.
And, you know, she, you know, she doesn't, you know,
rip me up about it too much.
It's all love.
So, you know, people are people and people make mistakes and life goes on.
Was there any pushback from anybody on the dialogue between you
and Prince throughout the book?
Maybe his estate or something?
Yeah, if you go on to Prince's online community, he has, you know, everybody has their opinion.
But at the end of the day, I was the one that was there.
So you can have your opinion, but you got to understand that it was my life that I lived and I was there.
Did you have to get approval from Prince's estate to speak on his behalf in the book?
No, they haven't bothered me so far, you know,
because I think they know that might be a mistake
because even though I do speak about Prince,
I'm telling my life story.
Right.
Because you know all the bones are buried
if you need to go dig them up.
Trust me, I left a lot of them buried.
Well, you did speak on the rivalry
between Prince and Michael Jackson in the book.
What were Prince's true feelings towards Michael Jackson?
Well, you know, he had respect for Michael.
But, you know, there's a rivalry
because, you know, Prince rose to that level
where it was appropriate to say,
you know, this is competition.
And anybody who could say
they were in direct competition
with Michael Jackson, they're in a good space
as far as an entertainer goes.
I remember reading one time where you said
Rick James was jealous of Prince.
He was.
You know, Rick, you know, started to feel the pressure.
And, you know, I understand that pressure
because that's the kind of pressure
that the Times started to put on Prince,
you know, when we were doing concerts and Prince was putting
that type of pressure on Rick James,
where he was starting to steal the show.
Rick being the kind of brother that he was,
he wasn't liking that.
So, you know, I understand it.
Cause like I said, that's what the Times did to Prince.
And that's why he took us off of some of those major markets.
We couldn't go to Chicago, LA, New York.
We couldn't go to the major markets with it
because we was putting pressure on it.
Hold on, wait a minute.
So you know that?
No, because you're talking about all these different shows.
Did y'all ever get physical?
Well...
It's in the book.
It's in the book.
No, the closest we came to getting physical,
we had a huge food fight.
And it was in, I believe, Cincinnati.
Y'all throwing pancakes all over the goddamn place.
Pancakes, sausage,
everything, man. But he
started it. We was on stage, and
he, for some reason, got the bright
idea that he was going to start throwing eggs
up on the stage while we was up there.
So y'all performing, and they're chucking eggs at y'all.
Eggs coming across the stage.
And then he threatened me.
He said, you better not try and do that to me when I'm on stage.
And I, you know, you know how it is.
If you say don't do it, guess what?
You got to do it.
I got to do it.
So we did the same thing and it carried on after the show.
It went into the backstage area.
They had my guitar player, Jesse, handcuffed to a coat rack
and just all kinds of crazy stuff.
And it ended up me getting the bill.
I had to pay $5,000 out of the, you know, little money I was getting, you know, to clean because the venue charged us a cleanup fee.
So that's really, and it got ugly.
It did get ugly.
So that's really the closest we came to, you know, getting physical.
I'm shocked that you said Prince, you know, didn't take y'all on the road
because he didn't like pressure.
I would think somebody like Prince would love to have somebody
challenging him on that stage.
Well, you got to understand, it's the Frankenstein monster that he built.
I think he believed that we would be good,
but I don't think he believed that we would be as good as we were.
Wow.
So I believe, you know, we took it.
And I think that the members of the time speak for itself.
Because if you think about, you know, what everybody did,
you know, Terry and Jimmy, you know,
unlimited ability as songwriters and producers.
Jesse Johnson had a great solo career.
Jerome was a great personality, great actor, you know.
And, you know, we just, we had a chemistry that I don't think he expected.
Now, did you ever think of doing a movie yourself?
Because I know obviously you were in Purple Rain, the Graffiti Bridge movie.
Had you ever at that time said, I should just write my own movie just the way Prince was writing these movies and developing these ideas?
Yes, I thought that.
And that's in my brain
and it's on the back
burner right now, moving toward the front.
Yeah, you had a TV show back
in the day. Yeah.
It was cancelled.
I heard, this is what I heard, it was cancelled not
because of ratings, but because the studio
didn't get along with your show's producer
Ralph Farquaad, I think his name
is? Yeah, I've had two like that
that, you know, were canceled and, you know, the one that I
did, New Attitude with Cheryl Lee Ralph and Yvonne Stickney,
that was a bona fide hit as far as the Nielsen ratings were
concerned, but there was a hiatus and they canceled the
show and then the show aired and it had high, high ratings, but it didn't exist anymore.
And then we had another show, Jerome and I, that was called Hotel Dicks and we were both hotel detectives.
And that show.
Yeah.
That's a wild name.
Wild name. Wild name, man. And, you know, that show got canceled,
but there was a lot of internal issues,
and they were changing powers at Fox at the time.
So, you know, that was what just kind of made me believe
maybe I'm not an actor because I can act,
but I don't like the part of acting
where somebody tells me what to do,
what time to get up, what time to be at work,
and all of that stuff.
That's part of it, sir.
That's the way it works, Mr. V.
It costs a lot of money to do these productions.
They need you on time.
Yes, it does.
Yes, it does.
And I understand that, but I don't like that part of it.
So is the rumor about the studio not getting along
with your show's producer, Ralph, true?
Or was it you not wanting to do the work?
I wanted to do the work.
I was there. I was there.
I was there every day on time, looking good, ready to go in,
and knew my lines and all of that.
So it wasn't me.
It was internal problems.
Got you.
All right, now don't move.
We got more with Morris Day when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ and the Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Morris Day.
Yee.
Now, your mom managed you early on.
So how was that experience having her as your momager?
And then when did you kind of break away from that?
How was that separation?
Well, you know, first of all, having your mom manage you, it sounds cool.
But it's pressure, you know, because you've got a group of individuals
and sometimes they don't agree with what the manager has to say and when it's your mom you
don't appreciate that you know saying so and saying hey you know the manager I don't like what
she said I don't like this I'm like but wait a minute you know this is double edged for me because
that's my mom you're talking about so it was cool how long did that last um
she probably managed us for maybe two years um and that was when we were uh teenagers
it was tough but you know she she had big ideas for us um she was definitely shooting toward trying
to get us a record deal um the problem with my mom was she was a, you know,
she was very attractive young lady.
And so, you know, we had people like Isaac Hayes coming home
and giving him a deal, but what was you really looking for?
Damn.
Damn.
No.
Now listen, would you look at her any other way
if you found out that, you know, come on.
She might've done some things just to make some things happen.
That's his mama now.
I know.
I had an interesting relationship.
I told you it was double-edged.
Ooh.
When you look in the book, too, there was some cross-relationships.
No, I don't.
You know, first of all, I had never even, like, considered that.
But, no, I mean, I don't know, man.
Mr. Day, what do you think was different about the era that y'all came up in as opposed to this one?
Because back then, you know, y'all were flamboyant, right?
But nobody ever called y'all out of y'all name or said, oh, those guys are gay.
That's not true.
Yes, they did.
Yeah, they did because, you know, we did stuff like wear makeup and stuff like that. And, you know, Prince was, you know, big on, you know,
he even, like, crossed the line as far as dressing, you know,
with the heels and, you know, and all of that stuff.
So, you know, that came up a lot.
But I really think that at the end of the day,
talent and ability prevail.
And that's why so many people love Prince and people respect it. You know, I didn't,
you know, go that Metro sexual role as far as he did. But I know the brother wasn't gay. You know,
people say that to me. I'd be like, OK, well, leave your girlfriend with him for a few hours
and come back and tell me, is he still gay? That's what I saw. I saw y'all with all the women. Y'all
had all the beautiful women around y'all.
Yeah, so, you know, it was all good, man.
You got to take the bitter with the sweet.
You know, that's why,
that's the tough thing about going on social media.
You getting all this praise and everybody's like,
hey, I love it, I love it.
And then here comes that one hater.
You know, that's just part of life, I guess.
You know, people have their opinions and you got to let them have it.
You said Prince even got booed off stage
at a, was it a Rolling Stone concert?
Because they thought he looked too feminine.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you know, with Rolling Stone concert, it would look like a bunch of Hells Angels or motorcycle gangs out there.
And here comes Prince with a trench coat on and some bikinis and some leg warmers and some high heels.
That messed with their minds.
You know what I mean?
They're like, I'm not expecting this.
I'm here to see the Rolling Stones.
And then next thing you know, beer bottles started flying.
And at that time, I was the cameraman for Prince.
So I had my video camera set up and I'm in the back
and I'm back by the soundboard.
And they're booing and throwing beer bottles.
And it was ugly.
What about when Prince pulled up with the pants with the ass cheeks up?
Yeah, I saw that. I wasn't around then. I was like, that's pushing it a little bit.
Did you hit him up and tell him that?
Here's the funny thing. I never had Prince's phone number.
Once I left the camp, I never had the ability to call the brother.
You know, the only way we talked is if he called me.
And it was always his security calling me first.
And then, you know, he comes in with a mysterious deep voice, you know, after, you know, they find, you know, after I answer the phone.
So, you know, I really didn't have that privilege or whatever you want to call it to call him.
But, you know, I probably would have been like,
what's up with the pants, brother?
Did you ever have any
slight jealousy for Prince?
Or huge jealousy for Prince? I don't know.
I think my jealousy
probably came in as
I really feel like I should have
partook in the finances
a little more than the $50,000
that I got for
Purple Rain. And then I'm watching him
on the cover of People Magazine. They said he
made $17 million.
And the movie was just
heating up at that point. So I felt a little
jealous about getting let out of the financial
part of it.
Yeah, that was so interesting because you guys weren't allowed
to do anything with anyone else. It was
exclusive.
So even when you had opportunities to go write for other people and work with other people, it just couldn't happen.
And that's a real sacrifice that you made.
Which is really why I left the camp, because, you know, I was comfortable there if I had been able to do other things. And I had gone to Prince and I had to go through the management and told
them I wanted to do a solo record. And they said, okay, give me a minute on that. They come back to
me and they said, okay, Prince says yes, but he has to be executive producer. Well, I know what
that means. I mean, that means total control over the project. And that's why I chose to leave. And
I had to pay a substantial amount of money to get out of the deal with him. But I said, I need my own creative freedom, which I don't think I would have gotten had I stayed.
So, you know, I had to make a move. Wow. So we can expect a movie from this book, right? Hopefully.
Now you're talking. Here's my final question for you, Mr. Day. Did you write this book for yourself
or Prince? I wrote this book for
myself. And you know what? It was suggested that I do a book. And, you know, we have one of the
best writers in the business, David Ritz, who wanted to do this book with me because, you know,
I'm not a writer per se. But, you know, and it just made so much sense that I said, okay, I'll
do it. And I was really afraid of the time commitment because, you know, I'm not a workaholic.
Um, so, you know, I was just thinking, now I gotta be every day, you know, writing this
book, you know, but David made it a easy process for me.
And, um, you know, I'm really glad I got an opportunity to do it.
Now, you know, if you really pay attention to it,
I've done a lot in my lifetime.
And, you know, it ain't going to stop.
But, you know, the blockbuster movie, book,
been a performer, been an actor, you know,
and so, you know, life is beautiful.
All right.
Well, we're glad you exist, my brother.
Absolutely.
We're glad your art exists.
We're glad that this new book, On Time,
A Prince Lee Life in Funk, exists as well. And I hope everybody goes out there and grabs it. Absolutely. We're glad your art exists. We're glad that this new book, On Time, A Prince Lee Life in Funk,
exists as well. And I hope everybody goes out there
and grabs it. Absolutely. Thanks so much for
having me. Appreciate y'all. You be safe.
Peace, King. Morris Days, The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkeys of the Day, I'm Charlamagne.
I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day
is a little bit of a mixed question. So like a donkey. Keyhawk. Donkey of the day, ask Sheldon Mayne. I'm a Democrat, so being donkey of the day is a little bit of a mixed question.
So like a donkey, he on. Donkey of the day.
The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one.
Donkey of the day goes to a hip-hop music producer named J.W. Lucas.
I have never heard of this individual in my life.
Didn't know he existed until yesterday. Envy, you ever heard of him?
No, I haven't. Angelina, you ever heard of him?
Nope. Okay, but he's produced
for Lil Uzi, Jack Harlow,
DaBaby, and Pop Smoke. So says
The Shade Room and Genius. I feel like
I am giving this man what he wants and what he
seems to want is attention. I don't
know how or why you wake up and
go to your social media
and open up your Twitter and decide to tweet out something like this.
This is what J.W. Lucas tweeted out.
Why is the world asking for justice for hashtag Breonna Taylor?
Of course, she shouldn't have lost her life.
But do you realize that she was involved with multiple drug dealers who were using her house as a trap spot?
If you sign up for that life, there are consequences in tweet.
He actually posted that. Those words came out of his thumbs. First that life, there are consequences in tweet. He actually posted that
those words came out of his thumbs. First of all, none of that is true. Right? None of that is true.
Let's just start there. None of that is true. We should all know the story of Breonna Taylor by now.
If you don't, here's a quick recap. Shortly after midnight on March 13th, Louisville police
officers executing a search warrant, used the battering ram to enter the apartment of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor. Contrary to J.W. Lucas's dumbass tweet, she was not a trap
queen. She was an emergency room technician, all right? She was in bed with her husband, I mean,
her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, okay? When they both heard the door get banged down, it was a brief
exchange, and Kenneth did what I believe any human in America who owns a firearm would do if someone
broke into his house, and that's let the hammer fly.
All right, that's exactly what the right to bear arms is all about.
OK, the Second Amendment is the right for people to possess weapons for their own defense.
There is not a man, woman or child in America who owns a gun, who knows how to fire a gun, who would not have done the same thing in that situation.
OK, Kenneth fired, police fired back several shots,
and poor Breonna Taylor was murdered.
Now, there was so many things wrong with this situation,
but the main problem was police had been investigating two men
who they believed were selling drugs out of a house
that was far from Ms. Taylor's home, okay?
But a judge had also signed a warrant
allowing the police to search Ms. Taylor's residence
because the police said they believed that one of the two men had used her police to search Ms. Taylor's residence because the police said they
believed that one of the two men had used her apartment to receive packages. No drugs were found
in the apartment, okay? None. The police report contained multiple errors. They listed Breonna
Taylor's injuries as none, even though she had been shot eight times, and they say they had not
forced, they did not force their way into the apartment, though they used the battering ram to break the door open.
And police had already located the main suspect in the investigation by the time they decided to run up in Breonna's apartment.
So they had who they were looking for already, okay?
The moral of the story is J.W. Lucas doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
And only in America will a white man find a way to defend the oppressor while making the oppressed a victim. Now, I saw on Hollywood
Unlocked and The Shade Room yesterday where one of our fearless leaders, Queen Tamika Mallory,
drop on the clues, Bonfitt, Tamika Mallory, speaking to J.W. Lucas, some people said Tamika
was wasting her time. I don't think standing up for Breonna Taylor or any black person who has lost their life
due to systemic racism is a waste of time.
I thought maybe this guy, J.W. Lucas,
would have come to his senses
and let Tamika talk some sense into him
after being corrected, but no.
Let's listen.
Extremely racist for a white man
to try to tell black people what we are doing,
where we need to go, what our issues are.
That is part of the gated institutional narrative. Tamika, I should be a leader in the Black Lives
Matter movement because I'm more capable than you. Yes, I am. You don't understand the nature
of reality. All negative externalities must be eliminated. The people that you do business with to make a decision about whether or not what you're saying and the sure that they know that you are a racist and that
your rhetoric and the tone that you're using is extremely dangerous and that you disrespected the
life of a young 26-year-old woman. Never, never. I will not accept that. And it shows your colors.
You don't give a about decreasing problems, Tamika. You care about getting your own political game.
Did you hear the white privilege oozing out of his pores?
Right?
First of all, people really need to watch their tone
when it comes to talking to queens like Tamika Mallory.
Second of all, for him to say he can lead the movement better than Tamika?
Mm-mm-mm.
What do you even say to that?
Like, what's your response?
Why do you even dignify that with a response?
Why does he feel comfortable talking like that and saying things like he could lead the movement better than Tamika?
You know why?
Because he's a white man talking to a black person, especially a black woman.
So it's a level of superiority and privilege that just comes with that.
All right?
Sexism, racism, we already know what it is.
Now, keep in mind, he's a hip-hop producer.
So he was also on last night talking hip-hop.
Listen to what this man said about
our culture. You're calling me a
culture vulture when I'm telling
you that I bring more to hip-hop culture
than anyone in it.
Period. He does more for hip-hop
than anyone in it? That's crazy.
I never even heard of you until
yesterday. Okay? They're called
Cassidy. The unmitigated ghostly pale gall of Utah yesterday. They're called Cassidy.
The unmitigated, ghostly, pale gall of this human.
You know, JW, feel how you want to feel.
Say what you want to say.
It's America.
You have that right.
Do your thing.
But there has to be consequences and repercussions for people who talk like this.
See, you can have freedom of speech, but you cannot be free of the consequences of said speech. And this is why we need our own version of, like, the Southern Poverty Law Center or the ADL,
these organizations that fight against bigotry and racism.
When someone does or says something that's offensive,
you know, to our culture, hip-hop, blackness,
we should be organized or have an organization
that lets people know this ain't welcome, okay?
We see it happen to people all the time, but for some reason,
when it comes to hip-hop and blackness,
people are just allowed to continuously disrespect us,
and nobody says anything, all right?
Nothing happens.
Case in point, as I've said before, we can't even get the cops who kill us fired.
We can't even get people canceled when they kill us.
So, of course,
someone like J.W. Lucas feels comfortable disrespecting us on all levels while making
money in and off our culture. J. Lucas, today is a nice day. So at some point today, I want you to
go outside barefoot if you can. Put your feet in the ground, okay? Get grounded, all right? Take a
few deep ocean breaths. Make sure your inhales and exhales are long, full, and deep. After you do that,
look up. Look up, look up, look up. There is a star at the center of the solar system. It's the
foundation of the solar system. It's a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma. I want you to look at it, feel the
rays from it, let it shine on your white skin, and say to yourself, sun! Scream it, sun! And then spell
it to yourself, S-U-N! Give me a S! Give me a U! Give me a N! And let it be a reminder to you that
sun means shut up, n***a.
That's what you have to do when you feel like tweeting something stupid or getting on live and saying something stupid.
Just go outside and get some sun and remind yourself to shut up, n***a.
And yes, white folks can be n-words too.
Please let Remy Ma give J.W. Lucas the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw, hee-haw. Hee-haw!
Hee-haw!
You stupid mother-fucker.
You dumb.
All right.
Mm-hmm.
I'm surprised at you, brother.
Who?
You.
This is usually where we do
a petty party
or something like that.
You ain't wanna do that today?
Um...
Do some clown emojis,
you know?
No, we can do clown emojis,
but what we need to do
is go in his comments,
JWLucas702, all right, JWLucas702,
and put a bunch of suns in his comments, all right,
and say, shut up, n***a, okay?
And let's see if he's stupid enough to get on live later and say,
I got a bunch of people telling me to shut up and my comments.
Let's see what happens, guys.
This is a good social experiment.
Let's see how far he's willing to take this, okay?
Go to his comments.
His Instagram is JWLucas, J-W-L-U-C-A-S-7-0-2.
Oh, he must be in Vegas.
And put a bunch of suns.
Just put the sun in his comments with the phrase, shut up.
Okay?
Okay.
Keep it locked.
We have more coming up next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Hey, Charlemagne the God here.
And I just want to wish a Merry Christmas to all my credit card scammers out there.
This is the season to find you a scammer friend so you can save some money in any major department store in America
Breakfast Club
relationship advice the personal advice just the real advice call up now for
asking the guy we are the Breakfast Club it's time forvy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy we are The Breakfast Club. It's time for
Ask Yee. Hello, who's this?
I'm saying Anonymous.
Alright, what's your question for Yee, Anonymous?
Yes, we can. Alright, so I
have a dilemma.
When my boyfriend and I first started dating
we were gonna, you know, do it in the car and he
pulled his pants down. There was a foul order.
He didn't fart.
He just, like,
had took a dump
and, like,
didn't wipe his butt.
Hey!
Now we, like,
live together
and whenever
we're going to do it,
I always, you know,
I'm hesitant
because he doesn't
wipe his butt
so he always
has the foul older
and, you know,
he always has
dookie days
on his boxers.
Ah, those skid marks. That's what they call them. Yes, skid marks. So how do you tell your older, and, you know, he always has dookie days on his boxers. Ah, those skid marks.
That's what they call them.
Yes, skid marks.
So how do you tell your man, like, babe, can you please wipe gas?
Is he a grown man or a baby wearing a diaper?
That is disgusting.
First of all, you need to.
Don't judge that man, Yee.
I'm going to tell you.
Oh, is this envy we're talking about here?
You mean is this gear?
Don't judge that man.
No, no, no.
All right, so first of all, do y'all have wet wipes in the bathrooms in the house?
I think I need to keep them there, but that doesn't mean I use them.
You got to help him out, man, because first of all, there's no way he don't smell the
doo-doo coming out his butt when he pulls his pants down, number one.
Number two, you might have to tell him you got to get up in there when you wipe yourself
and wipe yourself good.
And you might have to buy him some wet wipes to carry with him when he goes places and
tell him to use those when he uses the bathroom because this is not something that you can
dance around.
You have to be direct about this hygiene.
She's right.
But I'm not his mama, though.
Embarrassed at one time.
You're going to have to tell him because you know what?
If you don't say something, you're going to just end up having to smell doo-doo every
time you have sex.
Yeah, I can't do that.
So just tell him, be like, babe, look at your
underwear. Do you see this?
You're not wiping yourself well. Are you getting up in the
hole? So you have doo-doo
stains on your sheets too, huh?
No, no, I would never.
You do have to. If it's in his underwear, it's in the sheets.
But you gotta point it out because if you don't
say anything, then are you just having
sex and enduring the smell?
Oh, girl, I don't go down there.
Like, I won't go down on him a lot because of that.
Like, I'm always afraid.
Like, I don't want to get juice in my mouth.
Why is it so hard to tell a man his ass stinks?
I don't know, but you could get, can't you get E. coli or something?
I mean, if you're f***ing ass.
I can't wait until he asks you to eat his ass.
I don't want to, oh, hell no.
I don't want to hurt his ego. That's it.
Well, girl, I don't want you to get
some type of disease either. A bacteria
infection.
But this is for his own good.
First of all, if you're doing laundry sometimes,
you don't want to have to touch that and
clean that, right? Right.
And this is for his own benefit.
This is to help him out in his life.
You got to show him, look, baby, these are wet wipes.
Now, me and you are having this conversation.
Don't be embarrassed because we could talk about anything.
And trust me, if you're having sex with this man, I'm protected.
You should be able to tell him his ass stinks and he's not wiping himself.
Goodness gracious.
If you can do that and you can lay up with him and do all of that,
then you should be able to communicate with him and tell him,
babe, you need to clean your butt.
It's going to be so funny when you tell him his butt
stinks and he was like, man, I was thinking the same thing about
your poom poom.
And guess what she would do?
Wipe her poom poom with a wet wipe.
Who said you ate crap?
You said you ate crap. Who ate crap? You're the one eating crap.
Don't you dare say I ate crap. Thank you, mama.
And just listen, this is a time
when you got to be direct and be like, look,
you know, I don't know if you're just not wiping yourself right, but there's these stains in your underwear and sometimes I can smell it.
So I just want to say you got to wipe yourself better.
Here's some wet wipes every time you go to the bathroom.
And you shouldn't even have sex with him until after he showers.
But if he's not cleaning his butt in the shower either and then getting out.
Why do you say butt like that?
I don't know what I'm supposed to say on the video.
Just say his butt.
Just cleaning his butt.
Shower is a requirement.
I will say I've been with my wife 21 years,
and I do remember a time about 14, 15 years ago
where she went down and she was like,
hey, man, you need to go take a shower or something.
Hey, man.
You know.
And you appreciated it.
Yeah.
Maybe I didn't wipe properly.
I don't know what it was, but she told me.
It hurt my feelings.
I just went and took a shower.
Is this a common issue between men?
Like, I don't understand.
I don't think it was a common issue.
It's happened to me before once or twice, three times, four times, five times.
It happened to me before.
Yeah.
But look, so that's why you got to point it out.
One day y'all will laugh about it, and hopefully that day that y'all are laughing, his butt will be clean.
Jesus Christ.
You got to embarrass him.
Pick up the underwear and be like, what's this?
And then let him see the doodoo stains,
and he'll get embarrassed, and he'll never do it again.
I like that.
You know what I mean?
That's perfect.
And check your sheets,
because I bet you you got doodoo stains on your sheets.
Yeah.
I bet you.
And he knows, trust me.
Shut up.
Tap to me once or twice.
Put those skid marks in his face.
See, you go too far.
Thank you, Mama.
How do you like it?
Thank you.
That's actually some young boy stuff, though.
Because, you know, that's one of the reasons after I do a number two, I do go take a shower.
Except if you're at work.
Yeah, if I'm at work.
But then it's not like I'm going home and me and my wife going to get right to it.
I don't want to go home smelling like today.
You should never poo and then have sex right after.
Hell no.
If you can take a shower.
We don't want your money butt up here either.
You better wipe better, bro.
All right.

We're in the middle of Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning, Giovanna.
Uh-oh, what's the matter, Javonna?
Why you sound like you're whispering?
I'm whispering because my college student is home.
Okay, okay.
And I don't want him to hear my question.
Oh, boy, Mommy Freaky.
All right, let's go.
Yeah, DJ Envy, happy anniversary.
My husband and I will be celebrating 24 years of summer, too.
Wow!
We're in our 20s.
Congrats to that.
Yeah, same to you. Congrats to that.
Yeah, same to you.
Same to you.
My question is,
I don't know how you deal with all those kids,
but what to do
now that these kids are home
when you're trying
to get freaky with your husband?
Do you have any?
Do you have any?
Do you know why you sustain
these long-term marriages?
Because y'all do
all kinds of crazy stuff,
you know,
but we're trying
to figure it out. How many kids? Just one. Just one. Okay. long-term marriages because y'all do all kinds of crazy stuff, you know, but we trying to
figure it out.
How many kids?
Just one, just one.
Okay, he's home from college.
He's graduated last year, thank goodness, but, you know, with everything going on, his
grad plans didn't work out, he was supposed to relocate to California, he's home with
us.
We have a condo and can't get down the way we usually get down,
you know? So is there, is he ever going outside? Is there someplace like an outdoor space?
And we, you know, normally we'll go to parks, but parks have been closed. We don't want to
get arrested because he's essential. I own a catering business. Kind of, you know, in the public eye, I don't want to be
known for anything
scandalous, but of course.
Y'all be going to the parks getting
freaky. I like this.
No, no, no. She said, we have.
Hold on.
Not now. Not now.
Not during this. Not now, of course. Everything is shut down.
We try to be safe. As I said,
my husband is essential. I own a catering business. Shout out to the small business down. We try to be safe. As I said, my husband is essential.
I own a catering business.
Shout out to the small business owners.
I fed the front line.
Still doing my...
What's the name of your catering business?
Let's plug that, too, while we're on here.
Oh, thank you.
Impa Mama Signature Recipes.
Hmm.
I'm in Cliffside Park, but I work out of a commercial kitchen in Englewood.
So Englewood Hospital, holy name.
T-Neck, feed the front line.
We're still doing more, so.
Now, Giovanna, let me ask you this.
Doesn't your son have to go to sleep at some point?
Now that he's home, not really.
I mean, come on, you know these older kids.
They're on FaceTime all hours of the night, you know, and we're not quiet.
You know what?
You know what I think is fun?
You need to have sex quietly.
Quietly?
Yes, and that actually is really fun,
but it doesn't normally happen,
but it's actually very exciting.
You know people might...
My husband's louder than me, actually.
Wow, Mama, you're putting in that work.
You're going to have to cover his mouth
while you're doing it,
but it's actually something really fun
about trying to be quiet while you have sex, and that might just be something y'all are going to have to cover his mouth while you're doing it. But it's actually something really fun about trying to be quiet while you have sex.
And that might just be something y'all going to have to do.
Just be careful, quiet.
It is exciting.
We're going to try.
Mama, mama, mama.
Can I be honest with you?
I have ideas, especially from DJ.
What do you do with all those kids?
We live in a condo.
Well, first of all, first of all, the kids go to sleep.
The kids go to sleep.
And then the older kids.
The older one, exactly.
But he knows what's going on.
You don't think he having sex?
She don't want him to hear that.
Nobody want to hear their parents having sex.
Thank you, Angela.
The kids don't want to hear that.
Put a lock on that door and you and your hubby go in.
He's not going to walk in.
He's not walking in.
Don't worry about it.
He'll put his headphones on and he'll be in his video game.
Devonna, let me tell you what else you can do.
Let me tell you what else you can do.
Because you said the headboard.
I'm glad you said that.
Put a sheet on the floor and have sex quietly on the floor.
We have carpet on our, under the floor, under our bed.
All right.
Well, listen, put a sheet on the floor.
Put on some music, put the TV on, whatever you got to do.
Mama, don't even worry about your son.
You know, my daughter came into me.
She came into my room the other morning and was like,
guys, you know I don't go to sleep at
12 o'clock, right? You know I hear everything that
was going on. And you know what I said?
I said, well, you know how you got here, right?
And then she just walked out. It is what it is.
My daughter's 18, your son is, he graduated
college, he got to be in his 20s. He understands.
But listen, I just want to
say, you
just need to make a fun game out of it
Put that sheet on the floor
We gotta be quiet
Turn on some music kinda low
And just have sex slowly and quietly
He's a grown ass boy mama
He's in your house
He's old enough now
You and hubby get freaky
He doesn't want to see his mother's face
His father come out smiling
But he doesn't want to see his mother's face. His father will come out smiling, but he doesn't want to see me
come down and make his avocado toast after
I didn't... Avocado toast.
I hope you would wash your hands
at least.
All kinds of things.
Oh my God.
Okay, we'll try the sheet on the floor.
Thank you.
Get your freaky ass on.
Who cares?
This is Ask Yee.
She wanted advice, and my advice is have some fun with it.
It's a different time.
It's a different era.
She don't want her son to hear, but that's sheet on the floor
and have fun trying to be quiet.
Quarantine sex, maintaining the long-term marriages.
You got to do what you got to do.
Mama, I haven't worked out the best thing yet.
And every time he makes a little noise with his mouth
and he starts getting too loud, just cover his mouth and be like, hey, you got to be quiet.
Mama, nah.
And let me ask you a question.
When you find out what to do with the bed, help me out with the bed.
Because I haven't figured that out yet.
My bed be squeaking.
We haven't figured that out, man.
We haven't figured.
We've used WD-40.
We got the purple mattress and everything.
And it's still.
It's still mine, too.
The mattress.
What the hell is a purple mattress?
It's a label.
It's a type of mattress. Do you have an air mattress? No, we don't have. No, please. We bought some air mattress. What the hell is a purple mattress? It's a label. It's a type of mattress.
Do you have an air mattress?
No, we don't have.
No, please.
We bought some air mattress.
We tried that back in the day.
Who came up with that?
She's trying to play you.
Angelique just tried to play you, mom.
She's going to tell you she's got an air mattress.
You're a grown-ass woman.
I'm trying to play you like you're some little young cop with an air mattress.
Wow.
I have a.
Wow.
Wow.
You're disrespectful. No, no, no. I have a. Exactly. I have a, I have a, wow. You're disrespectful.
No, no, no.
I have a,
I have a,
I actually have an air mattress
as a spare mattress
in my house
in case I have company
and I'm like,
okay,
here's the air mattress.
So sometimes people come
and then they go,
you can blow up,
you can use the air mattress.
I don't know what it's been
in the 80s.
I don't know if that's gonna work.
And it's actually,
it's a pillow top air mattress, and it's very nice.
And my goddaughter.
It's late automatically.
Yeah, I have that for guests, but I don't think that's going to work for her.
Mama, go in.
Don't worry about him.
I'm going to go in.
Okay, I'm going to take your advice.
Go in.
He knows.
He understands.
I know you know, DJ and V.
Long-term marriage, you got to do what you got to do.
That's right.
Sometimes you got to stick.
That's right. Or stick your face out the window. Let her be hidden from the back. That way, if you V, long-term marriage, you got to do what you got to do. That's right. That's right.
Or stick your face out the window.
Let her be hidden from the back.
That way, if you yell, it's outside.
You go in.
You get freaky.
I've already had notices under my door from my neighbors.
That's the last thing I need is for them to see my
hanging out the window now, too.
Why are you so long and hanging out the window?
Not long, but, you know, to stick my face out the window, that's going to come next.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, have fun with it.
Get on that floor and have some fun.
Thank you.
Good luck, mama.
And sustain these long-term marriages.
We out here doing it, too.
There you go.
Black love.
Black love.
Black love.
Don't do your catering straight from doing what you do with your husband.
Just make sure you wash your hands, shower.
We don't want any extra DNA.
That food will have more love in it, boy.
All right.
Thank you, Mama.
All right.
That ain't love.
That ain't cream, either.

Like he said, don't let your insecurities bother you, man.
If you like that girl, she like you, just enjoy.
All right, for sure.
Age is too hard to get over.
I know that you can't help who you grow in love with.
But when you damn near 50 and a woman's
just 27 years old, what the hell are y'all
talking about? Seriously.
Like, what are y'all talking about? She can't name none of the members of
Wu-Tang Clan. Nope. She don't remember no
episodes of Cosby Show. Nope. Like, what are y'all
talking about? She can't tell you about New Edition?
Nothing! The only thing she knows about New Edition
is the movie she saw on BET. Right. Yeah, she does.
That's it. Hello, who's this?
Hey, what's up it's crystal hey
crystal what's your question for cne all right okay so i have a sister we're 14 months apart
really close so we went on a trip to the philippines in december but two weeks before
the trip i got fired from my job three jobs and it was there for 10 years so i never gave her the
money for the trip when we came back so i didn didn't see her. I was in my feelings about being depressed, you know,
lost my job or whatever the case was.
So fast forward, she tells me that, you know, I took advantage of her.
I'm like, take advantage of you?
You're my sister.
Like, we're adults.
Nobody, neither one of us, well, she's not pressed for this $1,200.
And, you know, I was just kind of in my feelings.
I have two kids.
I have a mortgage.
I lost my job.
And we're in the middle of Corona now.
So now she's mad about this $1,200 and she feels that I took advantage of her.
I agree with her.
I gave her her $1,200.
No, that's her sister.
I gave her her $1,200.
I agree with her.
No, that's her sister.
She got a whole lot.
Why you didn't give her her money back?
Because she lost her job.
She got two kids and a mortgage.
She shouldn't have went to the Philippines then.
But the trip was already paid for.
Yeah.
Clearly it wasn't.
No, she paid for it.
Did she tell you that she was paying for you or did she pay for it with the assumption that you was going to pay her back?
I was going to pay her back.
Things happen.
That's my sister.
Things happen.
She got a job.
But I lost my job.
That's right.
Okay.
Your sister got to take that L.
Why does she have sympathy for me?
Because she see you out here still buying stuff.
She see you out here still living.
You still doing something to make her know that you got that $1,200.
When's the last time you went out, Mama?
Well, I just came back from Jamaica.
See what I'm saying?
You taking a step back.
I know you.
I know you so well.
I know it.
You should have gave her her money back before you went to Jamaica.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
I gave it to her.
Huh? I gave it to her. I gave it to her. Oh, you gave her the money back. I gave her her money back before you went to Jamaica. You should be ashamed of yourself. I gave it to her. Huh?
I gave it to her.
I gave it to her.
Oh, you gave her the money back.
First of all, I gave her her money back.
But she feels that I took advantage of her.
But now we're doing one situation overall over our lives.
But I feel like she's just mean and insensitive.
And based off of those feelings that I have,
I don't really want to have a discussion with her anymore.
I love my sister dearly, but I don't want to be friends with her anymore.
You took advantage of her.
She should be mad at you. Well, if you gave her
the money back, then she's just being mad at you
for being mad, but she probably just... But how long did it
take to get her money back? Right before you went to Jamaica?
It is kind of slack that you didn't give her her money back.
You was just out here bawling. Don't you hate when somebody
owe you money and they just out here bawling?
Y'all are missing it. I have two
kids. She has an Audi.
But you went to Jamaica.
She said I got two kids and she got an Audi S7.
Listen, you wrong.
You wrong.
I'm being honest with you.
You wrong.
But I gave it to her.
That's good.
So she need to get over it. But you wrong.
You foul.
You wrong.
She's wrong.
All right.
