Amazing fight. Yeah, they said football was canceled this weekend. Football was not canceled. You see it. Are you there?
Starting point is 00:05:41 Are you there, Cowboys? It's me, Super Bowl. Oh, my goodness. Okay? Are you there, Cowboys? It's me, Super Bowl. Oh, my goodness. Okay? Are you there, Cowboys? It's me, Super Bowl. I talked to Judy Blume. She writing the book.

Starting point is 00:05:57 Let's get in some front page news. Now, over the weekend, there was a lot of fighting now. Edgar Belonga, congratulations to him. He won over the weekend. And then there was the Tyson Fury Wilder fight. Did y'all see the fight? Of course I saw the fight. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
Starting point is 00:06:12 What were your thoughts? What were your thoughts? As far as what? Like, what do you mean? That's a broad question. Was it a good fight? I thought it was a great fight. It was a great fight.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Absolutely. It was a great heavyweight fight. And, you know, we haven't seen, we don't see great heavyweight fights too often. But that's the beauty of having a Tyson Fury and a Deay Wilder and Anthony Joshua and all these guys in this era but so it's good to see them fight each other even though Deontay and Tyson the only one that be fighting each other Tyson Fury did win and he tried to shake uh Wilder's hand after the fight and this is what happened we fought it all out there and all the allegations that they made towards me like throughout the build-up of this fight and we fought like two warriors and then i went over to shake his hand and say well
Starting point is 00:06:48 done and he was like no i don't respect you i was like how can you say i've cheated when you know in your own heart and your full team knows that you just got beat fair and square it's just a sore loser in boxing i'm sure he's not the first one and he won't be the last one yeah i mean deontay's pride was hurt i get it but you know deontay has nothing to be ashamed about he's not the first one, and he won't be the last one. Yeah, I mean, Deontay's pride was hurt. I get it. But, you know, Deontay has nothing to be ashamed about. He's a warrior. But Tyson Fury is just a better boxer. Yes, he is.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Tyson Fury's a warrior, too. But he's just a better boxer, the best heavyweight of this era, and it's not even close. Out of the trilogy, this was the best one, though? Out of the three fights they've had. Yeah. I think so. The first one was great, too.
Starting point is 00:07:25 The first one was great. It went the distance and ended in a draw. You know, second one, I think Fury got him out of there in like seven rounds. Yep. But this was a good one. And Deontay Wilder did complain ahead of the fight about Tyson Fury's gloves again.
Starting point is 00:07:37 And they actually ended up... Don't do that, Deontay. What? Don't do that. Like, he made a bunch of excuses last fight. Don't do that, King. Please. The only reason I say don't do that is because he's better than that,
Starting point is 00:07:46 and he has nothing to be ashamed of. He said before the fight he did that, though. I'm not sure why, but he said before the fight. Yeah. Sometimes somebody's just better than you. If you're just better than Wild, then it's okay. Right. All right, and the WNBA Finals Game 1 was yesterday,
Starting point is 00:07:59 and Chicago Sky beat the Phoenix Mercury 91-77. So they lead that series 1-0. And Kyrie Irving update. Steve Nash says that the Nets are recognizing that he is not playing home games this season. They said we're going to have to for sure play without him this year, so it just depends on when, where, and how much. So opening night is coming up soon, by the way.
Starting point is 00:08:20 So he can, however, practice with the team. Their training facility was reclassified as a private office, so it doesn't have those COVID-19 mandates. And so he can rejoin the team for practice, but he will not be playing at home games. How much money is he losing? Don't you
Starting point is 00:08:37 get fined every time you miss a game? He loses about $380,000 per game. But what are the Nets doing in that situation? Do you say, you know what, we're going to keep him? He's going to miss a majority of the season, half the games, and then he's going to miss some of the games in places where they don't allow unvaccinated players to go. Michelle Roberts from the Players Association said that
Starting point is 00:08:56 she thinks players should not be fined if forced to miss games due to their non-vaccination status. So ongoing issues. Where could they send them though? Most of these facilities got these kind of mandates now? I think so. I don't think anybody would take them, right? I wouldn't trade them if you can't play. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:13 I mean, if you trade them somewhere and it's the same place and the same rules in another city, what's the point of trading them? Alright, well that is your front page news. Alright. Now get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Starting point is 00:23:28 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.
Starting point is 00:23:44 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. Well, Kim Kardashian made her big debut on Saturday Night Live on Saturday night. And here are some of the things that she discussed during her monologue. First of all, she has some jokes when it comes to OJ Simpson being the first black person she's met. You know, my father was and still is
Starting point is 00:24:13 such an influence and inspiration to me. And I credit him with really opening up my eyes to racial injustice. It's because of him that I met my first black person. Want to take a stab in the dark at who it was? I know it's sort of weird to remember the first black person you met, but OJ does leave a mark.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Or several. Or none at all. I still don't know. She was good. The SNL writers were good. They were good, but she pulled it off though. She delivered it well. She was really good. Alright, in addition to that, she thanks her mom, Kris Jenner, for not
Starting point is 00:24:48 naming her Karen. Remember, I'm a Kim, not a Karen. And honestly, with all of the K names, it's really impressive that my mom didn't pick Karen. I mean, somehow she just knew. I don't know how she saw that one coming and not Caitlin. Now I know
Starting point is 00:25:04 we're divided as a country, but I'd love America to come together, which is why I'm here to announce that I'm running for... I'm just kidding. I'm not running for president. We can't have three failed politicians in one family. Good stuff, good stuff. Nobody was fake outraged over the OJ joke? There was no fake outrage online?
Starting point is 00:25:22 I'm not sure yet. And then in addition to that, she poked some fun at Kanye West, her ex-husband. I mean, I married the best rapper of all time. Not true. Not only that, he's the richest black man in America. A talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids. So when I divorced him,
Starting point is 00:25:43 you have to know it came down to just one thing. His personality. I know that sounds mean, but people keep telling me that comedy comes from truth. And if there's one thing that I always strive to be, it's genuine. So I just want to say how incredibly excited I am to be up here on the stage tonight. Good job, Kim. I just want white America to know Kanye West is not the best rapper of life. He never has been.
Starting point is 00:26:07 One of the greatest musical artists, period. Well, to her. To her, he is. He's just not the best rapper of life. To her. One of the greatest musical artists, though, ever. But not the best rapper. So you guys enjoyed the monologue.
Starting point is 00:26:17 It was dope. I haven't seen it. I heard it. I just heard those kicks. Yeah. Yeah, that sounded funny. What I just heard. Now, I saw online that perhaps Michelle Wolf wrote this,
Starting point is 00:26:26 is what it looks like. You know, she's the one that did the roast of... Oh, she be with Dave, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. So I saw people congratulating her. I like it. Whoever wrote it, especially the dark humor with the OJ thing.
Starting point is 00:26:38 All right, now Ariana Grande is giving away up to $5 million in free therapy, and she announced that on World Mental Health Day. So she went to Instagram. She said, I acknowledge that there are very real barriers when it comes to accessing mental health resources and while this is only one small gesture and a much
Starting point is 00:26:56 larger systemic problem remains, I wanted to do this again with BetterHelp in hopes of bringing access to a few more people and perhaps inspiring a few of you to try something new and prioritize your own healing. I love it. Dropping the Clues Bonds for Ariana Grande. That's how you invest in people's mental health for real, for real.
Starting point is 00:27:11 She did a similar campaign back in June. They gave away a million dollars of free therapy. So now, five million dollars. How can people get that? If you want to do it, you can go to betterhelp.com slash Ariana and get your free month started. Hey, invest in your mental wealth. I'm glad Ariana's doing that. That's dope.
Starting point is 00:27:26 All right, now let's talk about The Rock. He is officially a rapper. He had a guest verse on Face Off. It's on Tech N9ne's new album, Asinine. And here's what he sounds like. So what's my mother name? What they're going to get though? Desecration, defamation. If you want to bring it to the masses, face to face. Now we escalating. When I have to put boost asses mean on you. Like a dream when I'm rumbling, you're going to scream mama.
Starting point is 00:27:51 So bring drama to the king, brahma. But it's with extreme mana. Got to fart on those bars, right? Fart on those bars, right? Come on, man. Come on, man. Yo, them bars needed some performance enhancing drugs or something, man. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I can see that being played at a WWE match or something. Of course. Absolutely. Yes, it's on brand. That's the only place you're going to see it. Yes. Maybe that's what they made it for. Maybe, yeah, that's what they made it for.
Starting point is 00:28:19 It kind of goes with who he is, I feel like. Yeah, I guess. You're right. I don't know. I just expect more from The Rock because he's The Rock. Do you really? Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:27 As a rapper? The Rock does everything well. All right. Okay. All right. Well, shout out to Tech N9ne also. Salute to Tech N9ne. Yeah, that's dope.
Starting point is 00:28:35 All right. And J.R. Smith is set to play his first golf tournament for North Carolina A&T. Okay. Yeah, so it should be exciting to watch that. It's going to be at the
Starting point is 00:28:44 Alamance Country Club Golf Course. So let's see how he does. I feel so it should be exciting to watch that. It's going to be at the Alamance Country Club Golf Course. So let's see how he does. I feel like people should be documenting that whole J.R. Smith back to college situation. They should be, right? So there's no age limit when you go back to college and play sports? As long as you just haven't played before? You see how old golfers are? Yeah, but usually it's college.
Starting point is 00:29:02 It's college kids, though. He's a freshman walk-on on a team. So you have to qualify for each tournament in practice. And so he qualified for that tournament by one stroke. So if you went to high school and went straight to the league, right, and decided you want to go back and play college, you can go back and play college. Bro, it's golf.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Golf is good. Maybe the rules are different for golf. Maybe. It's not like age doesn't really matter in golf, does it? It seems like everybody out there is old. All right, well, that is your rumor report. I think Jack Nicholson was 90. What's his name, Jack Nicholas?
Starting point is 00:29:32 Jack Nicholson. Wasn't he one of the most famous golfers ever? He was one of them. He was 97, wasn't he? Doesn't know a damn 97. He was old, though. He was old, though. All right, we got front page news next.
Starting point is 00:29:42 What are we talking about? Yes, and let's talk about Jelani Day. His organs were missing when he was found. We'll tell you about this report by the Chicago Sun-Times. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 00:30:23 We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now in boxing, congratulations to Edgar Belonga. Also, congratulations to Tyson Fury. They both won over the weekend. Yes, salute to Tyson Fury. Salute to Deontay Wilder, too, man. Two warriors.
Starting point is 00:30:37 That fight was everything we thought it was going to be. Now, NFL scores. The Patriots beat the Texans. The Eagles beat the Panthers. Titans beat the Jaguars. Packers beat the Bengals. Now, that was a nasty game. I feel bad for the kickers in both those games. Feel bad for your own team.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Feel bad for your own team. That's who you need to feel bad for. The Bears beat the Raiders. The Bills beat the Chiefs. The Falcons beat the Jets. Vikings beat the Lions. Saints beat the Washington team. The Buccaneers kill the Dolphins.
Starting point is 00:31:05 The Steelers beat the Broncos. Chargers beat the Browns. Cardinals beat the Washington team. The Buccaneers killed the Dolphins. The Steelers beat the Broncos. Chargers beat the Browns. Cardinals beat the 49ers. And then Monday Night Football. Tonight, the Ravens take on the Colts. And the Dallas Cowboys killed the New York Giants. Washed them, left them for dead, buried under the field. Okay, 44-20.
Starting point is 00:31:20 And Trevin Diggs, we trust. And Dak Prescott, we trust. Dropping the clues bombs for my Dallas Cowboys. We did lose our quarterback for a concussion and also it's me Super Bowl. The new book
Starting point is 00:31:30 by Charlemagne and God and Judy Blume coming out on Black Privilege Publishing. Are you there God? Are you there Cowboys? It's me Super Bowl. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:31:40 What else we got Yee? Alright well and I'm just going to give you guys a warning this is a difficult story to hear. And we're talking about Jelani Day. There are some details surrounding the tragic death of Jelani Day. Now, if you guys don't know the full story, he was missing.
Starting point is 00:31:56 And even though he was missing, it took a long time for them to even start to look for his body. People feel like the case would have been handled differently if he were not black and male. What if he was a woman who was white and blonde? A lot of people were saying there was a lot of lack of empathy shown to a grieving black mother of a dead or possibly still missing black son. And so let's discuss what happened in this case. They did say, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, the coroner revealed that in the autopsy report, his liver, spleen, and other organs were missing, along with his teeth and eyes. They also said his jawbone was sawed out.
Starting point is 00:32:36 The body also had innumerable fish and turtle bites. It was maggot infested by the time they found it. The genitalia was unidentifiable, but it was determined to be flayed, according to the forensic pathologist. Oh, somebody's jaw is bone out. Mm-hmm. Jesus Christ. So they're still trying to determine
Starting point is 00:32:54 what on earth happened to him. They said that his organs were completely liquefied, and they couldn't find his brain, no organs, no liver, no spleen. I know what liquefied means, but what does that mean in regard to the organs? Well, I guess the river's water had soaked the body because it was in the river. And so it just. And I'm just going to ask a wild question.
Starting point is 00:33:18 No animal could have did this, right? Saw out your jawbone? No. I mean, just chew out the stuff. Take your organs out? Open up your body and chew the stuff out. I'm just asking. No animal could do that.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Not the way that it's described in that autopsy report. Sounds like this was taken up. Even worse, right? 23 days after the body was pulled from the river, and that's four days after the authorities identified him. That's when his body was released. The mother wanted to just see her son, but they did advise her against it
Starting point is 00:33:45 because he was in such bad shape. So it is a heartbreaking story for sure as they're trying to find out what happened. And no mother should have to deal with this, even the way that she was treated and the way that she was spoken to. According to Jelani Day's mom, she said she had previously contacted the coroner
Starting point is 00:34:02 to provide her son's dental records. She just wanted to get some answers. She didn't get any word back until eight days after she left her first message. She was waiting, waiting. Finally, they called her September 22nd with a possible ID because of the dental records. And she had questions. And she was trying to get some more answers from the coroner. But then she says that he barked at her.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Do you want us to identify your son or not and she was crying her attorney then went in on the coroner and said he had no right to speak today that way so now for all those people who say organ harvesting is just a conspiracy theory how do you explain that how do you explain it yes we send so much love to Carmen Bolden Day. I can't even imagine sending healing energy to her and the whole family. Like, the trauma
Starting point is 00:34:49 that family will experience because, you know, so many thoughts will be going through your head. You'll be thinking, did my loved one get tortured?
Starting point is 00:34:56 You know, organs stolen? Like, Jesus, man. Definitely sending them healing energy. All right. And today, by the way, is Indigenous People's Day.. All right. And today, by the way, is Indigenous
Starting point is 00:35:06 People's Day. That's right. And Joe Biden has issued a proclamation on Friday to observe today as a day to honor Native Americans. This is the first time a president has officially recognized Indigenous People's Day. And so this is recognizing their resilience, their contributions to American society throughout history, even as they face assimilation, discrimination, and genocide spanning generations. And so we are shifting the focus from Columbus Day, which celebrated Christopher Columbus, and so it is now Indigenous Peoples Day, and that's what we are acknowledging to help correct a whitewashed American history that has glorified Europeans
Starting point is 00:35:43 like Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, who committed violence against indigenous communities. And Native Americans have long criticized the inaccuracies and harmful narratives of that legacy. This idea was first proposed by indigenous peoples at a UN conference back in 1977, which was addressing discrimination against natives. All right, and that is your front page news. So happy Indigenous Peoples Day. Absolutely. Dropping the clues bombs for all the Indigenous people out there.
Starting point is 00:36:10 All right, now let's talk Kyrie Irving. Now, what's going on with Kyrie Irving for people that don't know Yeezy? Well, he is making his debut as a golfer for North Carolina A&T. So congratulations. Kyrie Irving? Kyrie Irving. Oh, I'm sorry. You're Brooklyn Nets.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Sorry, sorry. I was talking about there were a lot of things going on. He quit the NBA already? Did they kick him out the league with the golf? Is he out of here? I was like, that's breaking news. Sorry, I thought you guys said J.R. Smith earlier and I was focused. But yes, Kyrie Irving is apparently not getting vaccinated
Starting point is 00:36:41 and will not be able to play at home games with the Brooklyn Nets. He will be playing golf somewhere. He can play at the practice facility and practice with the team and do away games, but he just cannot play at the home games and he won't get paid for those games that he misses. So we're asking 800-585-1051. Is that fair to his team? All right. Kyrie Irving will probably only play half of the games because he's not taking the vaccination.
Starting point is 00:37:05 At first it seemed like they were really hopeful that he would get vaccinated and the whole team would be playing together. But now it feels like they've faced the fact that it's not looking like it's going to happen. All right. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Is that fair to his team? Let's talk. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max.

Starting point is 00:39:39 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.
Starting point is 00:40:09 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.
Starting point is 00:40:26 It's topic time. 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. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Kyrie Irving and Brooklyn Nets. Now, if you don't know what's going on with Ky Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Kyrie Irving, the Brooklyn Nets.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Now, if you don't know what's going on with Kyrie, you want to break down what's happening with Kyrie? Yes, he hasn't gotten vaccinated, so he won't be able to play home games with the Brooklyn Nets, but he will be able to play the away games and also practice at the practice facility. So we're asking 800-585-1051. Is that fair to his team that he won't be playing half those games? Let's start off in the room. So you're a Brooklyn Nets fan. Yes, I am.
Starting point is 00:41:10 So what are your thoughts? I mean, I'm disappointed, obviously, because I would love to see the whole team play together. We were looking forward to getting a championship this year. And I think having somebody as powerful as Kyrie Irving play would be amazing. I don't know what his reasons are for not getting vaccinated. So I can't say if because he hasn't revealed why
Starting point is 00:41:30 or talked more about it, I can't say what the issue is. So it's hard for me to judge that. Yeah, I can't judge either. I want to say, yeah, I would be upset, but we don't know the reasons why he's not taking his vaccination. And maybe he has great reasons to why he's not taking his vaccination. That's his choice. As a teammate, until I know that, then I can't have necessarily an opinion.
Starting point is 00:41:49 But as a teammate, some people wanted to go to that team to play with him for that reason. So the fact that it is, yeah, I think I would be a little upset. But without knowing the reason that he's not taking the vaccination, I don't think you necessarily can be that mad. It could be religious reasons. It could be health reasons. We just don't know. Charlemagne?
Starting point is 00:42:05 Is it fair to the team? I don't believe it's unfair to the team because he's making a personal decision based on personal beliefs and convictions. And it's hard to say it's a selfish move because he stands to lose $15.6 million in salary by not being able to play. If a person is willing to sacrifice that kind of money
Starting point is 00:42:24 for something he believes in, I got to respect it. So I don't think he's being unfair. Unfair would be if the team was losing something, but Kyrie wasn't. Being that they both stand to lose, I don't think it's unfair. And honestly, they both don't stand to lose
Starting point is 00:42:40 because the Nets will still win without Kyrie, but Kyrie's going to lose money regardless. So it's not unfair to the team. See, people are also upset about these conspiracy theories. From what I'm reading, they're saying that they're being pushed in the locker room and things that he's been liking on Instagram. So I saw that was also an issue. I mean, yeah, he's clearly not for the vaccine.
Starting point is 00:42:59 But once again, I don't think it's unfair to the team simply because the Nets are going to still win without Kyrie, but Kyrie's going to still be losing money regardless so so it's not unfair but with him they'll win probably a whole lot more yeah it feels like a better team obviously i mean like what if we all it was mandatory to get vaccinated to come in here and somebody was like i'm not getting vaccinated so i just can't come in we We broadcast from home. Yeah, so. Well, we got that option. He can't play from home.
Starting point is 00:43:27 That's what I'm saying. He can't play from home. He can't play from home. No, but I'm saying some people would feel like it's better if everybody's here and, you know. I'm not knocking nobody for their personal decisions, personal beliefs, or convictions. And once again, I don't think it's unfair to the team
Starting point is 00:43:38 simply because Kyrie is going to lose $15.6 million. If he just wasn't playing and was still getting paid, different story. But he's going to lose that money. But as an owner of the Brooklyn Nets, I'm sure if they knew this beforehand, they might not have traded for him. They might not have traded for Kyrie Irving.
Starting point is 00:43:54 They might have traded for a player that would say, you know what, that would have took the vaccination. Yeah, but what if Kyrie could have done this with anything? Kyrie could have been like, yo, I need to take 20 days off because he does stuff like this because of mental health reasons. You know what I mean? Not the half the season, though. You never know.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Personal beliefs and convictions, I believe, are based on an individual. And you never know what somebody might be going through. Hello, who's this? Hey, Charlotte, what up, man? It's Jay. Jay, what up? What are your thoughts on Kyrie Irving, bro? Hey, B, what up?
Starting point is 00:44:21 Hey, B, what up? Listen, man. F*** Brooklyn Nets, man. I don't know about the Cards or not, but f*** them Brooklyn Nets. Kyrie's doing what's best for him, man, and his family. Why are you mad at the Nets for that? They're not cutting him from the team. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Angela, please hear me out right quick, man. Last year this time, everybody talking, oh, we can get back to the way things were if we had a vaccinator. This year, they're giving vaccinations and people are still catching it. So Kyrie's taking a conscious decision to say, I'm doing what's best for me. The team can't accept that. And so if I was Kyrie, I would just go ahead and retire. But why are you saying the team can't accept that? It's not their fault that the law in New York City is that you can't be in there
Starting point is 00:45:02 if you're not vaccinated from here. Yeah, it's not the Nets fault. It's not like they made the decision. They're letting him still practice in the facilities and do away games. Why are you mad at the Nets for that? You might have said the mayor and governor. That's who you might be mad at.
Starting point is 00:45:12 No, no, no. No, no, no. Listen, I'm mad at the Zucconi system. It's the system. Last year, listen to what I said. Last year, this time, they were saying, oh, all we need is the vaccination kits to get back to school.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Parents can get back to work. We can get back to living. Okay, you have a vaccination this year. Well, they didn't say you wouldn't get COVID. They said that you would have not as bad symptoms and there's a less chance you'll get it. And they also did say a certain percentage of people had to be vaccinated in order for us to be able to get back to normal. So those were some of the issues. But nobody said that everything would be normal. Well, thank you for calling, brother. I just don't like wrong information. You know what's so interesting about what he said?
Starting point is 00:45:57 He said Kyrie's doing what's best for Kyrie and Kyrie's family. That's debatable, too, because $15.6 million is coming off the table. That money ain't going to Kyrie and Kyrie's family. You know what I mean? So that's debatable too because $15.6 million is coming off the table. That money ain't going to Kyrie and Kyrie's family. You know what I mean? So that's another reason I don't think what Kyrie is doing is unfair to the Nets because he's losing a lot. All right, 800-585-1051. We're talking Kyrie Irving.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Do you feel what he's doing for his team is fair? The fact that he's not taking the vaccination, call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Ooh. I know it now. I know vaccination. Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Ooh. I know it now. I know it now.
Starting point is 00:46:28 I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. That kid don't even deal with that. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club top. Come on. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking Kyrie Irving. Now, he's not taking the vaccination, and because of that, he won't be able to play for any of the home games. Do you think that's fair to his team? Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:46:58 Hi, Brittany. Hey, Brittany, where you calling from? Darlington, South Carolina. Hey, I see you all day. All right. What's your thoughts on Kyrie Irving? I was thinking about it from the perspective of him. I feel like it's not fair because he'll be losing a lot of money this season
Starting point is 00:47:13 seeing how he won't be getting paid. That's right. In the next two to three years, it's not even going to matter. They're not going to hold those players in the same situation. That's right. That's why I said it's not unfair because Kyrie is losing so much. Kyrie's literally going to lose $15.6 million. That's not unfair
Starting point is 00:47:30 to the Brooklyn Nets. Thank you, mama. Hello, who's this? Hello, what's up? What's up, bro? What's your thoughts on Kyrie Irving? I mean, you can't judge him, though. He's sticking to what he believes in, you know. I mean, he helping us out. Lakers and Fours. That simple. Okay, so you're grateful for it.
Starting point is 00:47:45 I mean, I ain't grateful, but, you know, it's his decision. It's his body. It's his choice. But he's still helping us out for Lakers and Fours. You say Lakers and Fours like the Nets was going to make it to the finals anyway. I mean, I thought they were, Charlemagne, man. You can't be biased, man. You thought they were last year, too, but I told y'all differently.
Starting point is 00:48:01 They were injured last year. I knew they wasn't going to make it. They were injured last year. They didn't have a full team last year. I didn't care whether it was a full team or not. I told y'all Bucks in seven before Kyrie and James got hurt in that series. No, I think if they didn't get hurt, it would have been a different outcome. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:48:14 Heather. Good morning, Heather. Good morning. What's your thoughts, Heather? I think it's bulls**t that y'all want people to take shots versus me in a freaking NBA s**t. You want to stop cursing, Heather? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Go ahead, Heather. Now, do it without cursing. Well, I don't think he should have to take a shot. Heather, are you vaccinated? Nobody had to take flu shots to participate in anything before. Why should we have to take this shit? Heather, are you vaccinated? No. Well, why would I trust the government?
Starting point is 00:48:47 Okay. That's why I said once again, man, I don't think that is unfair, you know, to the team because he's making a personal decision. And, you know, it's not a selfish decision because he stands to lose 15.6 million in salary by not being able to play. So if a person is willing to sacrifice that kind of money for something they believe in, you got to respect it. So I don't think it's being unfair to play. So if a person's willing to sacrifice that kind of money for something they believe in, you gotta respect it. So I don't think it's being unfair to the team.
Starting point is 00:49:10 I wonder if the people who call, if they're vaccinated or not, do they believe in the vaccination or not? Because that can also sway how you feel as well, like Heather just did. I have no idea. Alright, let's go to one more. Hello, who's this? Hey, how you doing? How you doing? What's up, bro? What do you think about the Kyrie Irving situation? What do you think? Is it fair to his team? I feel like it's no different from any other topic.
Starting point is 00:49:28 We're dealing with somebody bodying their choice. You know, when we look at the Texas situation, everybody was all in the home run because it's females bodying their choice. You know, we're talking about a vaccine, buddy. It's crazy that everybody was able to play in a bubble without being vaccinated. You know what I'm saying? So what's the difference now? Like, I mean, if you –
Starting point is 00:49:46 There was no vaccine when the bubble was happening. And there was no fans. So now there are fans in the building now. Before it was nobody. You couldn't go to the games. It was just, you know, the players and family. But now that they're opening it back up, you know, there's people in the arenas now.
Starting point is 00:49:59 And that's also why they were in a bubble. But if you get tested before games and you're showing up negative, what's the difference? That's a lot to do with the vaccine. You still have us on Bluetooth for speaker, bro, because it's hard hearing you. Yo, your phone need a vaccine, King. I'm not sure what's going on now. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Your phone need a shot. All right, brother. Have a good one, man. We heard what you was saying. What's the moral of the story? I mean, the moral of the story to me is it's not unfair. Unfair would be if the team was losing something, but Kyrie wasn't. Being that they're both losing something, it's not unfair.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Nets don't have Kyrie playing. Kyrie not getting paid. That's not unfair. That's actually very fair. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. What are we talking about? Yes, this woman said that after her divorce,
Starting point is 00:50:40 she had a whole F-boy list that she wanted to go after. We'll tell you who it is. All right. We'll get into who it is. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:50:52 We are The Breakfast Club. Now, shout to my Milwaukee family. I'm out in Milwaukee and broadcasting from Milwaukee. And we say this all the time. Milwaukee was the first station to take a chance on The Breakfast Club. They were the first station to syndicate us. Syndicate us. We always love Milwaukee.
Starting point is 00:51:05 Shout to Bailey. Shout to Reggie. Reggie. We appreciate you guys all the time. I love Milwaukee. I've had some great times in the city of Milwaukee, man. It's good to be 100.7. Now, also, you had your health expo over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:51:16 I did yesterday. Yesterday was our World Mental Health Day. And so, you know, myself and my foundation, the Mental Wealth Alliance, along with iHeartRadio, we did our first ever mental wealth expo at the Marriott Marquee in Times Square yesterday. So, you know, myself and my foundation, the Mental Wealth Alliance, along with iHeartRadio, we did our first ever mental wealth expo at the Marriott Marquee in Times Square yesterday. And it was just a day of, you know, mental health education and healing. And, you know, I laughed. I cried. I learned a lot, you know, because I was, you know, actually there to soak up the information as well. Because some of my favorite people were there,
Starting point is 00:51:45 from Jason Wilson to Jay Barnett to Debbie Brown, Angela Rye, Resmaa Minicom, Dr. Rita Walker. There were so many different therapists and psychiatrists. Queen of Four spoke there as well, Yadi Alba. It was amazing. Anita Kopach. So just thank you to everybody. Thank you to all the participants.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Thank you to all the sponsors. And thank you to everybody who came out to receive that information. Because, you know, I just wanted to do that event because people always want to know where to begin when it comes to their healing journey. So I feel like yesterday was a good start. So you guys had different rooms. I've seen there was a room where they were doing teaching yoga. I've seen there was another room where they were doing different things. I couldn't make it because I was here.
Starting point is 00:52:22 But people said they had a great time and learned a lot of information. So that's a blessing. It was a blessing. That's what you call an event like that, a blessing. Now we got rumors on the way, Yee, what we talking about? Yes, and I also want to shout out Joe Coy. I went to go see him this weekend.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Oh, shout to Joe Coy. Yo, Joe Coy, I'm sorry. You were supposed to be there. I apologize. And you didn't even tell him you weren't. He called you a dip-ish. Yeah, he called you a, what did he call you? A dip-ish. Yeah, he called me a dip-ish.
Starting point is 00:52:47 He said it to my face. I was alive. You know what happened? I was supposed to make it. And last minute, I had to fly off for Hampton's homecoming. I was supposed to go on Saturday. Oh, Joe Coy, I'm so sorry. I owe you a call today.
Starting point is 00:52:56 I apologize. Me and the wife were so excited to go see you. And I couldn't make it. Joe Coy, I'm sorry. They had these seats safe for you right next to me. They were just empty because you never told them you weren't going. I let Joe know I wasn't going. Yeah, at least let him know.
Starting point is 00:53:09 Yeah, I let him know I wasn't going. I was supposed to to the last minute. Joe, I'm sorry! But it's only, I would have went, but you know, we got a newborn at the house. And my wife can't really, you know, move around. She's recovering and stuff. So she would have wanted to go. Damn it, man.
Starting point is 00:53:21 So I'm not going to go without the wife. All right. All right. But salute to Joe Coy. All right. Heard it was great. Great I'm not gonna go without the wife. Alright. Let's lose to Jokoy. Heard it was great. Great show. It was amazing. Alright. Rumors on the way. What are we talking about? Yes. Well, Envy, since we just talked about you, we're gonna talk about Gabrielle Union.
Starting point is 00:53:33 She made a bucket list of F-boys who she went into date after her divorce. Alright. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. Rumor Report with Angela Yee. All right, well, Gabrielle Union, while she's been talking about her latest book,
Starting point is 00:53:58 You Got Anything Stronger, she did a live interview on her book tour. She was talking to Shaka Zulu, who is a good friend of hers. And he also works, as you know know as partners with ludicrous and she was reflecting on her 2006 divorce from chris howard who played in the nfl and she talked about her post split hot girl summer here's what she said like other divorced people you have a mental bucket list i was like here is my deep what they call it, the red sea scrolls of gentlemen colors. I would like to check their availables. And Shaka was like, about 99.99% of that list are f*** boys. And I was like, yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:54:39 I mean, I guess she had just gotten divorced and she just wanted to have some fun with people who she knew it wasn't going to go any further than that. So I say it is what it is. I can imagine what it's like after you've been in a relationship. Things don't work out and you just want to go a little crazy for a period of time as an adult with available bachelors who maybe don't want to settle down. All right. Now let's discuss Eminem and Snoop Dogg. They do have a collaboration on the way. They had some issues previously. If you remember, Snoop was on The Breakfast Club and here's what he's discuss Eminem and Snoop Dogg. They do have a collaboration on the way. They had some issues previously.
Starting point is 00:55:06 If you remember, Snoop was on The Breakfast Club, and here's what he said about Eminem. He has probably put Eminem in a position where he could be labeled as one of the top ten rappers ever. I don't think so. You've been around a long time. Why don't you have him in your top ten? Because there's some n****s in the 80s that he can't f*** with,
Starting point is 00:55:21 like Rakim, like Big Daddy Kane. Yes, sir. Like KRS-One, like LL Cool J. You understand me? I ain't got no time to play with it. 80s that he came with like rock him like big daddy came yes like krs1 like ll cool j you understand me i ain't got no time to play with it is what it is it's like cuz did that but when you talking about this hip-hop that i can't live without i can live without that okay and that's a personal choice but eminem did respond to what snoop had to say and he responded with who kid you know he was doing an interview with the breakfast club and he was saying things about you know I'm not in his top 10 and everything he said by the way was fine like up to a point I
Starting point is 00:55:56 probably could have got past the whole tone and everything but it was the last statement when he said far as music I can live without I I can live without that shit. Now you're being disrespectful for, like, it just caught me off guard. I wasn't ready for that. All right. And here is the last thing of what Snoop had to say about Eminem. In everybody's solo song, that was the last verse of the song before they accepted one with me and Eminem. Because I felt like that was like a big reveal.
Starting point is 00:56:22 When you hear that Eminem on that, that's just a whole nother level. Right. So it looks like they've since made up. And now Who Kid posted that new Snoop and Eminem is coming soon. Tune in to him and DJ Who Kid all day until 6 p.m. That would have been awkward. And they're also going to be performing at the Super Bowl halftime show that Dr. J put together. So, you know, at least the two of them have made up and now they have some new music coming
Starting point is 00:56:45 out together. All right. All right. Now, Joel Osteen, his Lakewood church has to pay back $4.4 million in COVID disaster loans that was meant for small businesses, according to a report. Joel Osteen is worth about $50 million and he did defend his decision to seek support and insisted that neither he nor his wife received any of the money he said like many organizations temporarily shuttered by the pandemic this loan provided lakewood church short-term financial assistance assuring that it's approximately 350
Starting point is 00:57:15 employees and their families would continue to receive a paycheck and full health care benefits but that did come under scrutiny last december and so a lot of people did get these loans, but they did end up repaying that money. Yeah, they didn't have to pay it back. They decided to give the money back. It wasn't like the court or the law said they have to pay it back. They got the money the right way. They got some pressure. And they just decided to give the government back their money.
Starting point is 00:57:40 All right. You know what's so interesting? That's why reading the whole story is very important because I saw the headline. I thought Joe Osteen was paying off people's PPP loans. I thought he was giving like paying 4.4 million in PPP loans. That's why it's important to read the story. All right. Now, Gary Owen revealed that he did have a skin cancer removed from his forehead.
Starting point is 00:58:01 He underwent surgery to do that. People were confused because he made a joke about it it on social media saying that he got beat up. And here he is clearing things up. Listen, I didn't get beat up. Whenever I say hashtag doing what I do, I'm lying. The last two posts that I've made about my head, I never said I got beat up. What happened was back in August, I went in just to get a couple of skin tags removed. And the doctor was like, let's do a full body scan. And they found out I had a little line right here. It ended up being skin cancer. So they had to take the cancer out.
Starting point is 00:58:32 That's what happened. I'm okay. Cancer's out. Everything's good. Wow. All right. Yeah. He made a little joke saying he got beat up and people really took it seriously.
Starting point is 00:58:42 Shout to Gary. We haven't seen him in a while. He usually comes up here once a year. We haven't seen Gary in a minute, right? I mean, he was COVID, so he wasn't on the road. Yeah, but still even on the computer, we usually would see him. On the computer?
Starting point is 00:58:56 On Zoom? That's what I mean, on Zoom. Or whatever we use. VMIX, whatever. Alright, now John Gruden has apologized. He's the Las Vegas Raiders head coach. He apologized Friday. There was a leaked email from back in 2011 that came to light. Now, he referred to the NFL Players Association head, Damari Smith, using a racial stereotype. He put, dumb Orris Smith has lips the size of Michelin tires. Now, I mean, come on. I don't know how you can even think that that's okay. Now, here is his
Starting point is 00:59:27 apology for that email. All I can say is I'm not a racist. I don't, I can't tell you how sick I am. I apologize again to Dee Smith, but I feel good about who I am and what I've done my entire life. And I apologize for the insensitive remarks. I had no, you know, I had no racial intentions with those remarks at all. But, yes, they can. I'm not like that at all. But I apologize. I don't want to keep addressing it. I mean, big lips was a stereotypical trope. If you look at, like, a lot of those minstrel character chips from back in the day,
Starting point is 01:00:05 they would always have those big red lips. Now, he did try to say that he refers to liars as rubber lips. And that's why he said it. And, ah. All right, well, Smith did say this is not the first racist comment that I've heard, and it probably will not be the
Starting point is 01:00:22 last. Racism like this comes from the fact that I'm at the same table as they are, and they don't think someone who looks like me belongs. Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss also talked about this. And here's what he had to say on ESPN Sunday NFL countdown. We're going into the 21st century, and instead of us moving forward, we're moving backwards. And I really don't know what percentage of the National Football League is black,
Starting point is 01:00:46 but I know it's over 50%, 60%, 70%. And I know we generate a whole lot of money for this National Football League. And for you to hear Adam Schefter talking about some discipline or some discipline from Al Davis, the clock is ticking. We are watching to see what the National Football League is going to do about this. All right, and Randy must have got emotional later on while talking about his personal feelings in the matter. Here's what he said.
Starting point is 01:01:09 I fell in love with the game of football, Sam, at six years old. And I get emotional talking about it because of situations like this. My civil rights were kind of messed with in high school over the color of my skin. And now being able to play 14 years in the National Football League and for us to be moving back and not forward in 21st century, like I said, man, National Football League, this hurts me. The clock is ticking, man. But John Gruden probably could fight that, though.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Because it's a stereotypical trope. Like, how do you prove it was racist? You know what I mean? You mean fight it like just... He said he doesn't even want to address it anymore. Because I think about somebody like Riley Cooper. Riley Cooper actually said, I'll come over there and fight all you N-words.
Starting point is 01:01:56 And he didn't receive no discipline from the NFL. And the N-word is not a racist trope. That's just straight-up racist. You know? So I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how the NFL handles this. Right.
Starting point is 01:02:06 Well, we'll see. And he, like he said, he doesn't want to address it anymore. Do you feel like he should continue to have to
Starting point is 01:02:12 address this? I mean, I don't know what you say after you apologize. Like, what more is there to say? Imagine having to work for somebody like that.
Starting point is 01:02:20 It's hard though. All right. Well, that is your front page news. I mean, rumor report. All right. Thank you,
Starting point is 01:02:24 Miss E. Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to? Man, Florida. Florida needs to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with them this morning because they got a man named Prentice Madden who just got sentenced to 21 years in prison. And if Florida ever, ever wanted to debate about not being crazy,
Starting point is 01:02:37 they can't get out of this one. We'll talk about it for after the hour. All right, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. hour. Alright, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The craziest people in America come from the Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. It's a breakfast club, bitches. Donkey of the Day with Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this.
Starting point is 01:03:34 Donkey of the Day for Monday, October 11th goes to a Florida veterinarian named Prentice Madden. Now, what does your Uncle Charla always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. And today's story solidifies it forever. If you ever thought I was being too hard on Florida, you won't feel this way after this story. Okay, see, Prentice Madden, a veterinarian, has been sentenced to 21 years in prison.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Would you like to know why? Let's go to WTBJ NBC 6 for the report, please. A South Florida veterinarian sentenced today. The Aventura vet pled guilty to creating an animal crush video and bestiality. Prentice K. Madden recorded himself sexually abusing dogs and shared the videos online. He also received child pornography and talked about child sexual abuse in online chats. Madden was sentenced to over 21 years in federal prison. Prentice Madden, a.k.a. Dr. Do-Little-Dogs-in-the-Butt, was wildin'.
Starting point is 01:04:34 Okay, I'm looking at a picture of him in one of those little shih tzus or something, and this dog is licking his face right near his mouth, and the look of delight on this man's face is saying it all. Okay, this man and this is saying it all okay this man and this little pomeranian he was probably penetrating were absolutely french kissing okay dogs french kiss by the way full mouth full tongue all right i'm sure princess is also fornicated with a french bulldog all right princess the pug pounder madden was taking advantage of all these little doggies now clearly print his brain is wired differently than the rest
Starting point is 01:05:03 of us how do we handle matters of bestiality? OK, this guy has a sexual desire, a sexual craving for chihuahuas. Is jail the right place for this guy? I don't know. When he gets out, does he have to register as a sexual offender? Does he have to stay a thousand feet away from dog parks? Seriously, I'm sure they, you know, have before. But someone has to examine this guy's brain because we have to stop men from boning Boston Terriers. All right. The fact that he was uploading the videos and they had a whole group chat about it, a whole group chat.
Starting point is 01:05:33 What do you call that group chat? Pound puppies? As in we pound puppies. I mean, Jesus Christ, Florida. How do you explain this one? Prentice was out here putting his first four letters of cocker in cocker spaniels. How do you explain this? Also, prosecutors accuse Dr. Doolittle Dogs of having thousands of images, videos, and chats of child porn or discussions of sexually abusing children. Thank God for the kids.
Starting point is 01:06:00 He wasn't a pediatrician. Okay, but it's a damn shame he decided to be a veterinarian. Can you imagine what this man has done to a Japanese chin's actual chin? Do dogs have chins? Yes. Okay. There's a quote. The quote is, you can usually tell that a man is good if he has a dog who loves them.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Well, do you still believe that after hearing this story? Please let Remy Ma give Dr. Doolittle Dogs, Prentice Madden, the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Well, anybody up for a little game this morning? Okay. Let's play a game of...
Starting point is 01:06:39 It's not fair. I saw the picture already. Oh, God, Chi. Why did you cheat? I didn't cheat. I saw it already. I saw the story. Well, you don't get to play. Did cheat? I didn't cheat. I saw it already. I saw the story. Well, you don't get to play.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Did you see the picture? No. Okay. Let's play a game of Guess What Race It Is. All right. Prentice Madden, Florida veterinarian, was out here having sex with his patients, uploading videos, and having bestiality group chats. Guess What Race It Is.
Starting point is 01:07:04 DJ and me. This is a tough one. White. You said it was a tough one, but you spit that white out without a shadow of a doubt. You know what? Because I see a lot of white people really love their dogs. Black people love their animals and dogs as well, but white people really get into it. I don't know if you love your dog if you have sex
Starting point is 01:07:24 with it. I wasn't saying that was part of it. I'm just saying that the way white people rarely get into it. I don't know if you love your dog if you have sex with it. I wasn't saying that was part of it. I'm just saying that the way white people are with their dogs is, you know what? I don't know. I think it would have to be love,
Starting point is 01:07:32 don't you think? I don't know if that's love, like molesting the dog. Okay. Something. It's something. Taking advantage of a dog who has no choice.
Starting point is 01:07:44 That's not love. You're right. So you think it's just white. You're just white without a advantage of a dog who has no choice. That's not love. You're right. So you think it's just white. You're just white without a shadow of a doubt, huh? I don't know. Were you shocked when you saw the picture? Yes. Why were you shocked?
Starting point is 01:07:54 Because it's a black guy. It's a black guy? What did you expect? I mean, I was shocked. I was shocked too. I could not believe this is a brother. It's an ordinary looking black guy i can't believe this is a brother i couldn't believe it but yes he's a black man well envy you
Starting point is 01:08:11 were wrong you were dead wrong yeah i can't believe you stereotype people like do you love your dog talk about john gruden what about the racial trouble i have questions white people love their dogs oh they really really really love their dogs. They do. You love your dog? Yes, but I don't kiss my dog on the mouth. I just don't understand how you just equated loving your dog. By the way, we just talked about a man having full-blown sex with the dog. Envy said, I just don't kiss my dog in the mouth. Everything else is a go for you, Envy?
Starting point is 01:08:38 Shut up, man. I'm just asking. No, man. Skip the intimacy. This is getting awkward and weird, man. Oh, now it's getting awkward and weird. You did the donkey. Who did the donkey?
Starting point is 01:08:49 I am not Prentice Madden. I didn't do no donkeys. All right. I delivered a donkey of the day. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, let's talk about this photographer that deleted some wedding photos. Now, what happened in this situation, Ye? So this photographer agreed to shoot this wedding
Starting point is 01:09:08 for a very low price, $250, right? And the person is a friend of theirs. So she agreed to do this. She's a dog groomer. She actually photographs dogs, not in compromising positions. And she was invited to the wedding at first, but then the friend said,
Starting point is 01:09:24 could you be the photographer she agreed and accepted a mate rate that's what they say um a rate that's for a friend 250 to work about 10 hours she says i started around 11 and was supposed to finish around 7 30 and she wanted to eat around 5 she was starving it was hot out she didn't have any water, nothing. And so when she asked for food, they told her, either you're the photographer or you're not. And she said, okay, well, I'm not. And deleted all the photos and left. Wow. That's wild.
Starting point is 01:09:55 All right. Well, who was right in this situation? 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. Because she was hired help. She was paid to help, right? And anybody, if you got married, you've been to a wedding before, you know that those plates are very expensive.
Starting point is 01:10:07 It's not a $5 meal at McDonald's. These plates can go $150 a plate, $200 a plate. And as you can see, the family probably couldn't afford it because they hired a dog photographer to do a wedding photo, correct? But photographers are normally very expensive. Right, so they paid $250. Probably that's all they can afford. And they wanted food, and they couldn't afford
Starting point is 01:10:26 probably to give a plate. So they said either you are a guest or a photographer. And she said, well, I'm not a photographer and delete the photos. That is foul. You only get married once. You only have those wedding photos once. So you deleted all my memories from my wedding. Well, you gotta treat people like a human being. Don't ask me to work
Starting point is 01:10:41 for a really, really, really low rate for that long and then not even let me eat. Nothing? You didn't have no food set to the side for me? As a photographer? Come on.
Starting point is 01:10:52 But you delete all the photos that now there's no memories of my wedding? I can't get married again? Yeah, I felt a little bad about that. But, you know, you got to treat people like human beings.
Starting point is 01:11:01 And you also gave an ultimatum. You gave that ultimatum. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. Who was right in this situation? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your phone.
Starting point is 01:11:11 Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:11:36 Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about a wedding photographer that deleted some wedding photos. What happened to you? Yes, this photographer was hired. And by the way, was a friend of the groom and was hired.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Did it as a favor. $250. A wedding that was about 10 hours worth of work. And when she wanted to get something to eat around 5 p.m., she had started at 1130. 30 they would not let her eat and they told her either you are the photographer or you're not and so she deleted all the photos and left um so we're asking who was right in this situation 800-585-1051 i really feel bad for the people that got married because they don't have any memories they don't have any photos they don't have anything that that they can look back and be like you know show their kids or their family members these photos because of their relationship with the photographer.
Starting point is 01:12:28 Now, the photographer got paid $250. No, she didn't. Well, she didn't. She was supposed to. But in their contract, did it say that they were supposed to feed her as well? You know, she should have had a lunch break. There's certain things that she should have been required to do if she was hired as a photographer. They probably didn't even have a contract.
Starting point is 01:12:42 It was a friend and she was doing it as a favor. Like, no photographer is going to work for 10 hours for 250 i'm sorry so i think in respect of that you can't expect anybody to work as a human being all day and not eat yeah i mean from a business perspective that's the first thing i would say did the person negotiate the food correct if you're paying a person a low rate the least you could do is feed them though but from a personal perspective this is simply why you got to treat people with respect. This is why you got to treat people nice. Because if you're a person that's even paying somebody to do a service, if you're rude to that person, that individual, what if that person says, F you, I don't want to work for you no more in the middle of working for you?
Starting point is 01:13:18 He said, be the photographer or leave without pay. She said, I'm going to leave without pay. I'm going to leave without pay and you're not getting your pictures. Simple as that. Oh, I didn't hear that part. Oh, that's even worse. You told me leave without pay. You're, I'm going to leave without pay. I'm going to leave without pay and you're not getting your pictures. Simple as that. Oh, I didn't hear that part. Oh, that's even worse. You told me leave without pay. You're not going to pay me. You're definitely not getting your pictures. Now I probably wouldn't have deleted them, but I would have just took everything with me and
Starting point is 01:13:34 then held them hostage until you paid me. That's what she should have did. She should have held them pictures and said, okay, I have your pictures. I will charge you this for your pictures. Pay me first. Exactly. Well, guess what? She can do whatever she want with them pictures. You know why? Because they were hers. They gave her an ultimatum and you can't play games like that with people. I'm not mad at her. But that's why you got to treat anybody doing you a
Starting point is 01:13:51 service well. You can't be paying somebody to do something for you and then be being all rude. Imagine you do that at a restaurant and then they do something to your food. Imagine you got a home maintenance person and they're working on your house and they don't do something right on purpose. You never know. Treat people with respect at all times. Goddamn right.
Starting point is 01:14:08 Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Karen from Atlanta. Hey, good morning, mama. How you feeling? I'm good, thank you. I love you guys. We love you more. What's your thoughts? Initially, Lee said that she was invited. Yeah, initially she was invited.
Starting point is 01:14:25 So maybe the bride's team wouldn't feed the photographer. And the bride didn't know that they wouldn't allow her to eat. So I would have made the bride feel like I deleted the pictures. But I would have kept the pictures. But made her feel like I deleted them. Right. I agree with that. Okay, I'm with that.
Starting point is 01:14:42 All right. Well, thank you, Mama. Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey, what's up, bro? Hey, what's up, man, thank you, Mama. Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey, what's up, bro? Hey, what's up, man? How you doing, man? How you feeling? Why you calling him like,
Starting point is 01:14:50 why you saying that to him like you was calling him and ain't talked to him in a while? What's up, man? How you doing? You been avoiding me. Every day, man. And I'm just, you know.
Starting point is 01:14:59 I appreciate you. We appreciate you, King. You always got something to say, don't you? Yep. Listen, what's your thought, brother? Man, I go to work 10 10 12 hours a day man i'm packing lunch every day that lady should have brought some food brought a a nutty bar a per dollar bar something so you think the wedding photographer should have bought her own lunch and just just just banged it out i mean just in case you never know what it's been
Starting point is 01:15:21 so 20 people brought some brought some nasty food or something. Something you ain't even want. Then you would have been screwed all together, right? So why not just pack you a lunch or pack you a granola bar or anything? You know what I'm saying? But what's interesting is that she was originally invited to the wedding and even did her food choice. Then they asked her to be a photographer. She didn't know that she no longer was going to get her food choice.
Starting point is 01:15:46 Damn. Oh, wow. That's tough right there. So Nutty Bars is your bar of choice, huh? When were you going with that, Charlamagne? It don't matter. Red hung up on her. All right.
Starting point is 01:15:58 800-585-1051. Wedding photographer was paid to take some photos at a wedding. She did not get food, and they got into a little argument, and she decided to just delete the pictures. Was she right or wrong? Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I ain't no waitin' there.
Starting point is 01:16:15 I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. That kid don't even eat with that. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Come on.
Starting point is 01:16:26 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about a photographer that was paid to take some pictures at a wedding and deleted the photos. What happened, Yee?
Starting point is 01:16:41 Yeah, she was supposed to be paid $250, but when she was trying to take a break after having worked from 11am until it was 5pm, she was supposed to finish at 7.30. She wanted something to eat and they would not let her eat or take a break or even go to and get some water and they told her either
Starting point is 01:16:57 you are going to be the photographer or you're just not going to get paid and you're not. And so she just deleted all the pictures and I guess took the option of not being the photographer anymore. Wow. So we're asking 800-585-1051. Who was right in this situation? Was the photographer right for deleting the pictures
Starting point is 01:17:15 because they didn't get a meal? Let's talk to the people. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Mimi. Hey, good morning. What's your thoughts? Okay, it was kind of wrong. So now they don't have any pictures from their day.
Starting point is 01:17:28 But knowing photographers, they probably have a backup. If it was me, I'd probably hold it over their head for a little bit. Because they should have fed her. I'm pretty sure there are people who do RCP, they have extra food. I'm sure they didn't have a backup, though, because they couldn't even afford to pay a photographer. So that's why she came in as a favor for Yeah, at least well and see the thing with a wedding photographer they can't really take time off
Starting point is 01:17:56 It's not like you could take a lunch break because everything is happening You continuously taking pictures, but the wedding party probably couldn't afford a plate if they probably couldn't afford a wedding photographer They definitely couldn't afford a plate that If they probably couldn't afford a wedding photographer, they definitely couldn't afford a plate. That could be $250 a plate, $300 a plate. Well, she already had a plate originally, though. First of all, I'm Haitian. That's not happening. They're going to eat.
Starting point is 01:18:16 They're going to eat. Yeah, but you're just really not in a position to be like, well, you're not getting paid then. You're not the photographer. You definitely didn't have that position. It's also how you speak to people. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name is Monet. Hey, Monet. Good morning. Good morning. So I just want to call
Starting point is 01:18:32 and give, obviously, my opinion. I think that the bride and the groom and the wedding party are both wrong, and I include both of them because at this point we're talking about two people becoming one. I feel like they're wrong because, I mean, yes, I get it from both sides. A wedding plate, it can be expensive when you're paying per guest, but at
Starting point is 01:18:48 the same time, as Andalee said, we have to get to the point where we treat people as human. If you couldn't, you obviously value my friendship because you offered me an opportunity to come to your wedding and sit in to witness this union. But at some point, I don't know if that money's right, I don't know, but
Starting point is 01:19:04 you know, you got to the point where you couldn't afford that, so now you offer me to be a photographer, you have to pay me to be a photographer, but I'm certain that the $250 that you're paying me is not the amount of money that you would have spent for a wedding, for a plate. And at the same time, how many times have we gone to a wedding
Starting point is 01:19:20 and everybody who says that they're going to come aren't going to come? So I'm certain that there was a plate of food that went wasted that they could have given to the photographer. Right. I'm sure you even could have talked to the staff at where the wedding was and be like, hey, do you have a little something for the photographer to eat?
Starting point is 01:19:34 And they would have accommodated you. I'm sure they would have, yeah. All right, well, thank you. You tell them, right? You tell them. That's right. All right. You know, and shout out to the Haitian woman
Starting point is 01:19:44 that called a second ago. I haven't had griot in a long time. So if there's any Haitian restaurant in the tri-state area that has griot, please DM me because I would love some.
Starting point is 01:19:54 Oh, we have some in Brooklyn. Really? You better off going to somebody's house. Where Amizi's mom at? Salute to Amizi. Amizi's a brother up here who,
Starting point is 01:20:03 I don't know what Amizy does up here but he's a Haitian I know I don't know what Amizy does what does Amizy do Amizy does a little bit of everything he's a producer he's a producer
Starting point is 01:20:15 he runs boards he does a little bit of everything there's a restaurant called Grand Champs in Brooklyn so that's a Haitian restaurant they have griot? mhm alright I need some griot
Starting point is 01:20:22 shout out to Mr. and Mrs. Ty Ty Bull they used to make griot for me out to Mr. and Mrs. Ty Bull. They used to make griot for me. Now, what's the moral of the story? I don't know. It sounds to me like the moral of the story is treat people with respect. Like, I don't know why people be forgetting the golden rule. Kindergarten, man.
Starting point is 01:20:34 Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You know you would want to eat, so feed the next person. Yeah, you're right. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and let's talk about Meek Mill. A lot of things going on with him in the news. But we'll talk about his first week numbers.
Starting point is 01:20:48 And then we'll talk about Gilly and Wallow talking to Wack on their podcast on Million Dollars Worth the Game. And we'll talk about academics and what he has to say about Meek Mill. All right. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report.
Starting point is 01:21:13 This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Alright. Well, get ready for that Silk Sonic album. I'm excited for this. Now, Anderson Pack on Friday gave a gift to everybody to let them know. Album drops November 12th. Now, spam the comments with happy birthday wishes to my brother at Bruno Mars.
Starting point is 01:21:34 So happy birthday to Bruno Mars, and let's get ready for that Silk Sonic album. I can't wait for it. I think it's going to be dope. Mm-hmm. People always talk about, oh, is there any music that sounds like this? And I kind of feel like Silk Sonic Is going to give you that nostalgic type of It does man it does
Starting point is 01:21:48 The video is dope The last video was dope I can't wait for that album Alright now Taraji was on The Real last week And again she referenced What she was talking about a few months ago And she was talking about her $150,000 paycheck that she got
Starting point is 01:22:03 For the Benjamin Button movie she did She said that check turned into a deposit Of less her $150,000 paycheck that she got for the Benjamin Button movie she did. She said that check turned into a deposit of less than $50,000 when it all rounded out. So here she is breaking it down. When you start making that kind of money, Uncle Sam takes 50%. So that leaves me with 75 now, right? Then I have to pay another 30% to my team who did all the work to get me that job. So I don't pay another 30 percent to my team. All the work to get me that job. Yes. So I don't pay them 30 percent of the 75. I pay them 30 percent of the 150 that comes out of my 75. So you have 12 months in a year to make your money. Right.
Starting point is 01:22:38 If you do a film for five months, that takes you off the market for anything else to earn, any other kind of coin, until you're done with that show. That's right. That's why I don't understand why people announce numbers. It looks good, but the reality is that person is not walking away with that $100 million or $200 million or whatever it is. Don't get me wrong. They're walking away with some good money, but they're not
Starting point is 01:22:59 walking away with that $200 million. So why even put that target on your back to have people think you're just walking around with $200 million doing your homeboys or your family or somebody wonder why you ain't breaking them off. It's because I can't afford to. I still got to live my life. In addition to that, she also had to pay for her son's school.
Starting point is 01:23:14 His tuition was $30,000 in high school. She got to live. So she said, I chose his education over fancy cars and all those things. So basically she worked to pay his tuition for those five months. But that's what I mean when I say the person still has to live their life. They still got a
Starting point is 01:23:28 life. They got kids and they got a life. They can't be taking care of people. I'm glad she broke that down. Even though people still don't care because they still got $50,000. That's more than I got. Alright, well Jeannie Mai started IVF treatments the day that she got married to Jeezy. She's discussing that on her YouTube channel.
Starting point is 01:23:44 She said the very day of our wedding, March 27th, we started our in vitro shots. And she said they went for about two weeks doing the shots and preparing for it. And then she said, after going to a routine checkup, they were told that they had conceived naturally. So they said, stop taking your shots.
Starting point is 01:23:59 You're pregnant. You guys got pregnant on your own. We got pregnant a week after the wedding. So congratulations to them and to her for discussing how it all went down. Congrats to them. You mix the Jeezy with the genie, you get a young Jeezy. All right. Now let's discuss Meek Mill. His numbers for his first week album sales for his fifth studio album, Expensive Pain,
Starting point is 01:24:19 finished third with 95,000 equivalent album units. They said 10,000 of those were album sales, while 82,000 were made up of streaming units. Now, a lot of things have happened since then. A million dollars worth of game. Gillian Waller, we're talking to Wack 100, and they were talking to him about Meek Mill, because Wack doesn't like Meek Mill,
Starting point is 01:24:39 but Gillian Waller are cool with Meek Mill, so they spent some time arguing over things. Philly may fight amongst each other, but they're going to stick together. Mm-hmm. And so here is some of what happened on Million Dollars Worth a Game. I don't agree with what Wack is putting out there
Starting point is 01:24:54 as far as he's saying that this guy is a, what was you saying he was? He's a civilian. A civilian don't pay $10,000 to shoot at. Are you sure? A dude out the building, his daughter may be in a situation, and he's a suit and tie guy. Ain't no suit and tie guy paying nobody no money to do no dumb.
Starting point is 01:25:12 Are you out your mind? And he's not out here promoting no street like they're street. Right. At the end of the day, you- I thought you went to the penitentiary. I went to the penitentiary. You went to the penitentiary. Now watch this.
Starting point is 01:25:22 You don't see me cosigning no. Is every in the penitentiary a convict? No, ain't nobody in the convict. That's my point. You just answered my question. No, no, but that n***a did win. There they're talking about Tekashi69, right, in that situation. Now here they are talking about Meek Mill.
Starting point is 01:25:35 You and Meek Mills, y'all, straight? Definitely not. We got to get out. No, y'all. You ain't getting out. You ain't getting out. You ain't getting out. You ain't getting out.

Well, Inception is a mental health gym. You know how you go to the traditional gym to work out? Well, here we work inward. Absolutely. Because like Black men,
Starting point is 01:30:45 we need to have more knowledge about ways to be able to cope with pain. You know what I'm saying? In my reading of the DSM, I see that a lot of those mental disorders don't apply to Black people. And I don't think we have a lot of people represented in those rooms. Yeah, because a lot of our issues,
Starting point is 01:30:59 it's not a disorder like there's something wrong with you. Because your body did everything to protect you and to keep you safe.

Starting point is 01:31:31 it's so much pressure when you're the person that everybody come to. And when you're the person that pour into everybody, who pours into you? Now, the positive note is simply this,
