The Breakfast Club - Olivia Pope We Need You!

Episode Date: February 22, 2019

2-22- After more news broke about Jussie Smolletts scandal, we opened up the phone lines to see if any of our listeners believe that Smollett could make a comeback after this and if they were Olivia Pope what plan would they have to swindle Jussie out of his situation. Moreover, we opened up the phone lines for our listeners to nominate someone for "Donkey of the Day". Also, for our Freaky Friday topic we wanted to see what our women listeners would do if they found out their man was lying about being straight, after someone emailed DJ Envy for help about that same situation.

People watch The Breakfast Club, bitches. The voice of the culture. People watch The Breakfast Club for, like, news and really be tuned in. It's one of my favorite shows to do. Just because y'all always keep it 100, y'all keep it real. They might not watch the news, but they're on Twitter. They're on Facebook. They're, you know, they're listening to The Breakfast Club. Get your ass up.

Good morning, USA. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. What's up? It's the Breakfast Club. I'm Angela Yee. Now, I think DJ Envy sent us a text saying that he's on his way and he will be on time. Hey, guys. Look at you, walking in right on time.

But then what did I send you right after? You sent a picture of Jesse Smollett. That means I was lying. That means I was lying. I didn't know that's what that meant. Yes, I said I was coming on time, and then I sent a picture of Jesse Smollett smiling. That means I was lying. Mm-mm-mm.

What was my downfall this morning was the snooze button. I hit the snooze button one time, and then that was all she wrote. So you only hit the snooze button one time in the morning? Well, I never usually hit the snooze button, but this morning I did. I hit the snooze button like three or four times every morning. Well, I have to leave the house at about 5 o'clock to get here on time. This morning I left here at 5.15. Thank God there's nobody on the road because I was jetting here. I definitely

didn't take a shower this morning. Yeah, what else is new? Oh, okay. As long as you know. I just want you to know that. We've already gone to Human Resources about that several times. Right. It happens sometimes. So if you smell a little odor... That's interesting because I have to hit the snooze three times. Like, I'll set my alarm for maybe like 4.06. But I don't really get out of bed until like 4.40.

No, no, I usually get right up, take a quick shower, get the hell out the door. I can't just jump out of bed. No, it's easy for me to do. Well, how was your trip to the West Coast? That was good. I was in San Francisco. I was there looking at some new Samsung products that I was really excited about. Okay.

So, you know. Do you have it? Do you have the new? Yes, I have it. I'll show it to you. Let me see it. I have to activate my phone today. Oh, okay. And get it together, but I'm really excited for my Samsung 10 Plus. Now, if you don't know about this Samsung 10 Plus, it's a phone that,

it looks like a regular phone, but that can actually fold out and open up, and then it's almost the size of a mini iPad. Well, that would be the Samsung Fold. Oh, that's not the Samsung Fold? No, it's a different one. Which one do you have? I have the Samsung 10 Plus. Oh, I have that one already. They gave me that already. No, you don't. We got them first. Oh. That's not the one I have?

No, that's not the one I have. It's definitely not. It comes out March 8th. Alright, well let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, imagine you were the CEO of Time's Up and then something happens that makes you have to resign. What would make someone have to resign from that? We'll tell you what happened. Also, we'll talk about Nike and their stock falling. We'll tell you what happened that made that actually go down. All right, I'm about to wash the coal out my face, and then we'll be right back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You got the order?

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.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Gee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Hold on, I'm taking a picture of you so you can see the quality of this. Charlamagne is out right now. He'll be back, I believe, on Monday or Tuesday. So he took a little vacation. Angelique's playing with

her phone instead of doing front page news. Oh, you're going to love this. Great. Okay. Oh, yeah. So let's talk about basketball. Zion Williamson. Now, Nike stock has falled after he got hurt. He's a Duke basketball star. His sneaker actually came apart while he was playing. They said Nike

stock is down more than 1% because of that. They did apologize. They said the quality and performance of our products are of utmost importance. While this is an isolated occurrence, we are working to identify the issue. Now another issue is they are wondering about changing this rule. The NBA has submitted a proposal

to lower the draft age to 18. So they said that is the first step in formal proposal to lower the draft age to 18. So they said that is the first step in formal negotiations to lower that age limit by the 2022 draft. Right now, the current draft eligible age is 19. Yeah, they should lower it to 18 and they shall allow kids to go to high school right to the league. Now look at this kid

Zion. Zion, as he's going, he's going to be the number one pick. But let's say he's injured and can't play ever again. That's not fair. That's not right. He should be able to go straight from high school, straight to the league, just like Kobe Bryant

did back then, just like LeBron did. Zion should be the same way. And if I'm Zion, I wouldn't play anymore. I would sit my ass on the sidelines the rest of the season

because I don't want to ruin millions and millions and millions of dollars to prove what? You already proved it. You're the number one pick. Now, Isaiah Thomas tweeted out, let these kids go

straight out of high school. Too much on the line to be messing with college if you got a legit chance to turn pro. One injury can change somebody's career. Zion, sit your ass down, LOL, and we will be ready for you in the big boy league. And I totally, totally agree. And these kids should also make money

when they are in college. As much money as they're making off of these games and off these students, I think it's messed up that they don't get a percentage of their own... The T-shirts, the jerseys, all that. They should definitely get some money. Television rights, when the TV stations pick up

the games and all of that, they get nothing. They were selling those tickets for $3,000 a game. On the secondary market, yeah. And those kids get nothing from it. That's foul. Alright, the CEO of Time's Up has resigned. Now, she was only two months into the job. Lisa Borders had to resign as the president and CEO

after sexual misconduct claims against her son came to light. She did make that announcement on Monday, and first she tweeted about it. As Time's Up continues to grow, I'm proud of the work I have done to shepherd its continued development. Unfortunately, it is with deep regret that I must resign from Time's Up

to address family concerns that require my singular focus. I appreciate the opportunity to support this mission and I hope my efforts will continue to resonate. There's a sexual assault allegations against her son? Yeah. Like she touched her son? No, against her son. Oh, her son.

Okay, okay. I had that wrong. I said, wow. No, not her. I had that wrong. Against her son. Okay. All right.

And Donald Trump has tweeted out a video of the wall being built along the border. I don't know what that means, but there's just some cranes. He said, we have just built this powerful wall in New Mexico, completed on January 30th, 2019,

47 days ahead of schedule, many miles more now under construction, even though they haven't approved any funds for new construction of the wall. Yeah.

He's a hoax. He is a hoax. He said he's going to come up with the $8 billion. Yeah, the problem is, So what do they do when they find ways to get over the wall? Ladders or whatever it may be. Because the whole wall is not going to be guarded. That's the whole thing.

The whole land is not guarded in that area. So if they put a ladder, what are they going to do? Put spikes up there? Maybe they'll have an alarm. Electric shocker up there? They have barbed wire on parts of the wall. And they'll put blankets over it and hop it. Like, it's, oh my goodness. How high is this wall going to be? What are we going to do about the people that are bringing

the stuff here through other ways? On airplanes? Right. I don't know. I mean, that's what you should focus on since that's where most of the illegal activity happens. Absolutely. Yeah, who am I? Alright, well, that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent. Hit us up right now.

Maybe your coworker's not wearing any deodorant. Maybe they haven't showered and you're in an enclosed environment with them. Yeah, maybe that happened. Maybe you hit the snooze button and it didn't go back off and you were a little late for work. I don't know. If you're upset, you need to vent. 800-585-1051. Hit us up right now.

This is Dustin out of Fort Wayne. Hey, what's up, bro? Get it off your chest.

Dustin, meet Dusty Envy. Shut up. I was supposed to call you a few weeks ago. What happened? You were supposed to give me a call back and give me some tips on my wife and mine anniversary. Okay, I'm sorry about that. I didn't know. I'm sorry.

I just wanted to send some positive vibes out to y'all, man. Y'all up there doing y'all thing. And we appreciate what y'all do on a daily basis, letting us know everything in the world. And it's just awesome, man. Did you guys have your anniversary already? Oh, yeah, it was February 13th. What'd you end up doing?

I took her to, like, a nice romantic dinner, and we went and seen a nice little movie, and then we just walked downtown where we at. That sounds cute. So dinner and a movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And quality time. All right.

That's what I needed. What movie did y'all see? We went and seen, what's that? That new one with Taraji in it. Okay, think like a, what men want. Yes, oh man, that movie was funny. Did you get something that night? Oh, you know it.

Oh, you know it. Okay. All right, well, I'm happy for you. Things worked out. Congratulations. Hello, who's this? Hi, y'all. Good morning.

Salem, how are you? Hey, Salem. Your boyfriend's not here. Your boo-boo's not here. Oh, funny, funny, funny. I wanted to talk about, I had a traumatizing experience the other day, you guys. And I wanted to talk about that. I basically, it was actually a lesson learned, if anything.

The ladies never let anybody just touch your hair. I learned the hard way. What do you mean touch your hair? Like just anyone, random person? Yeah, because usually when I get my hair done, I always go like twice or three times a year and I go for the same thing. I always go for like a hair straightening and a wash. You only get your hair

washed three times a year? No, she can wash it herself. She gets it done professionally. I was about to be like, if I'm funky, I know your hair must smell like crazy. And you get a trim, right? Three times a year? Yeah, that or a color. Yeah, that or a color, you know? And other than that, I just go natural look every day. But I have like this,

I've been wanting to try a sew-in or a weave, you know? I've been just very curious lately. Uh-oh. So, yes. So the other day, I went up to this one lady who has gotten a, long story short, she did a really bad job. Like I said, I'm not really familiar with what I'm supposed to. I don't really know anything about weeds, so I really don't know why it looked bad on me.

Maybe my head was shaped 20 in it. Maybe. I don't know. Was it too lumpy? It was just too loose, and then it just didn't look natural. It just didn't look natural on me. I'm confused. What the heck?

I was too. But anyway, long story short, now my natural hair doesn't even look the same, so now I'm very hurt about that. So to close the subject out, I wanted to hopefully any of the listeners over here that knows anything with natural curly hair have to restore

my hair back or anything because I'm frizzling and I have to go out this weekend, but I'm not going to go out looking like this. Now, usually when you take a weave out, your hair if it curly, should be healthier because you haven't had to put any heat or product on it. I got you. Why don't you wear a hat? It's kind of cold out here, though. But here's the thing, though.

She cut my hair, too. So now I don't know. She put something on my hair, so now my hair looks kind of uneven and anything. But if anybody is out here listening that knows how to restore hair or knows anybody in the Dallas area or anybody in the world. What about Miss Jessie's? In the world. Don't you got Miss Jessie's?

Don't Miss Jessie's do curly hair? Yeah, Miss Jessie's is great at restoring your curly hair. Go to Miss Jessie's. You said Miss Jessie's. You're talking about Miss Jessie's products. The hair products. It's for curly hair.

Oh, I'm thinking y'all are trying to be funny with the Jessie's smallest. I thought y'all was being shady. No, not Jessie. Jessie. Miss Jessie's. I thought y'all was trying to be funny with the Jessie Smollett. No, not Jessie. Jessie, Miss Jessie. I thought y'all was being shady. Goodbye, Salem. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Help her out, though. She's in Dallas, man. She needs some help. I'll retweet anybody that wants to tell me about some information. Getting your curly hair back curly is definitely a process. It's not an easy one. I know from my own experience.

Me too. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest.

Whether you're mad or blessed. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you've got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? Hi, it's Maribel. Hey, Maribel. Get off your chest. Is that Charlamagne?

Diamond Plus. What's up, brother? I am here, man. How are you doing, Angel Ali? Good. Diamond Plus. I'm back. You still know who I am.

I'm the one from the icons of the island. I call in because I wanted to give you all some love and make a comment about what our Charlemagne said yesterday. I wish he was actually there. What'd he say? He was like, he basically tells somebody when they came in and said a comment about something to go ask their mother.

He basically tell them to go s*** their mother. You know what I mean? I'm like, that's disrespectful in the Caribbean community. It definitely is disrespectful. You know what I'm saying?

If he would've said that to you, you would've boxed him in his mouth too. I feel you. You would've boxed him in his mouth straight out of a love shalaman. Because trust me,

where I'm from in Boston right now, enough Jamaicans, enough island people will take that seriously and cut them down. That's right. He can't go around saying these terms not knowing what they mean. Tell him, Angela. You don't say that. You know how the things stay. All right.

Well, I think it's something that he just. Other than that, everything else is love. I just speak to you. I apologize. My phone don't cut off. I forget to speak with you guys. All right. Thank you.

We'll let him. Send me a friend request on Instagram. All right, thank you. Send me an email, man. Send me a friend request on Instagram. I want to send you a record, Angelique. Okay, we're going to let him know that you said that. It's good to talk to you, Diamond Plus. All right. Definitely.

You can't just be repeating stuff, right, that people say. I tell them everything I read, though. Straight up, tell them. Don't be saying that. That thing will get them. Kick up in our community. I told them.

I told them. I said we box them in the mouth. Box them in the mouth. We box him in our mouth. That is true. Lord. All right. All right. I'll be back.

I'll be T-Hiring. Yeah. I don't know what's going on today. Hello, who's this? This is Ame from San Diego, California. Callie in the building. What's up, mama? I just want to get off my chest

that I am really upset. I was writing for Jesse Smollett. I had his back all on social media. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Telling people, simmer down. It didn't go well. Yeah, you know, they're still investigating.

People were calling me, you know, you're a de-eater. You know, you're starstruck. And I'm just like, come on. I'm just trying to get all the facts, right? And then, and I knew something was up when he called himself the black Tupac. The gay Tupac. The gay Tupac. Tupac is already black.

He's black already. The gay Tupac. I was going to let that go. And then he went on Good Morning America, and he said the word truth five times in 15 seconds. I was like, this dude is lying. But I'm like, I'm trying to. There's no way that he would ruin his career like this and do something as stupid as this. Yeah, logically, there's not.

Yes. Then he gets arrested. MAGA fans are having a field day with this. And it's during Black History Month. So I'm just upset. And I feel like an idiot. And I had his back. And he made a song.

Well, guess what? You didn't do anything wrong. You believed what somebody said. There's nothing wrong with that. But when the facts point to that it's not valid, then you have to admit that, too. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. I was wrong. I believe somebody that.

But I think we all were like, why would he make that up? I felt the same way. It's kind of crazy that he's still going with it, though. He's still going with it. He's still saying he's not. Yeah. Yeah, this is crazy. I mean, the two Nigerians got caught red-handed with the ski mask.

I don't want to say they were the dumbest, but they were the dumbest criminals I've ever seen. Yeah, this is crazy. I mean, the two Nigerians got caught red-handed with the ski mask. Like, they were the, I don't want to say they were the dumbest, but they were the dumbest criminals I've ever seen. They go to one store and get everything, the rope, the ski mask, the gloves, and the hats. Like, come on now, guys. Yeah. All right, thank you, guys.

All right. Okay, bye. All right, well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time. Now, Yee. Yes. We got rumors on the way. All right. Well, I mean, since we're51. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time. Now, Yee. Yes. We got rumors on the way. All right.

Well, I mean, since we're talking about Jesse this morning so much, let's give you an update on what's going on with his situation since he has been bonded out. All right. Well, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Get the fuck done. Hey. I don't bluff, bro. Hey. Aiming at your head. It's Friday, man. I feel good. Morning, everybody. We'll be right back. is either jump in the shower. Here, use this as deodorant. And be late. Or just come to work stinky. Use this Febreze as deodorant under your arms. No. Well, let's get into the rumors.

Let's talk Jussie Smollett. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, we're keeping you updated on what's going on with Jussie Smollett. He's been charged with a felony, disorderly conduct for filing a false police report. Now, the more information that we have is that the brothers, Ola and Abel Osundaro, they said that they actually did this because Jesse asked them to and he paid them $3,500. The check was actually a backdated check for like January 23rd.

And it said it was for training sessions. So that's what was in the memo for that. They do have text messages between Jesse and the brothers where he was just detailing things like on January 25th, the first text message says, might need your help on the low.

You're around to meet up and talk face to face. Then they met again on January 27th where they drove around Chicago to scout locations. And cops are saying that Jussie told them to leave their cell phones and pointed out the surveillance camera near his residence that he believed would record the incident. Now, the police superintendent in Chicago, Eddie Johnson, had a press conference. And he had this to say about the whole Jussie Smollett situation and why Jussie would do such a thing. Smollett attempted to gain attention by sending a false letter

that relied on racial, homophobic, and political language. When that didn't work, Smollett paid $3,500 to stage this attack and drag Chicago's reputation through the mud in the process. And why? This stunt was orchestrated by Smollett because he was dissatisfied with his salary. All right. Now they are saying that the police found it very weird from the beginning because Jesse kept that rope around his neck for 42 minutes after the attack. And they were also suspicious when he took them to the scene and he showed them the camera that he said recorded the incident. But that camera was actually pointed in the wrong direction.

Now, Jesse did tell the police during his arrest where his bill was set at $100,000, he had to post $10,000 to get out, that he has a drug problem that he's never been treated for. Oh, boy. Here's the way out. Here's his way out. Go ahead. This could at some point become relevant later on in that case

because he also, according to reports, bought ecstasy from one of the brothers from Abel. So if he were convicted, a drug issue could be a mitigating factor that he gets his sentence reduced. And they also said that the wounds that he had were most likely self inflicted. He beat himself up.

Allegedly. There you have it. The problem is, okay, now it's over. So why don't you just come out and be like look, I made a stupid mistake. I was, you know, trying to boost my profile. I was trying to do it for the cause. And this is what I did. I apologize.

And I accept whatever I'm going to get. He's like a cheating boyfriend. No matter what, you can catch him in the act and he's still going to lie. He's like, I didn't do it. It wasn't me. It wasn't me. He has returned to Empire as soon as he bonded out to film. And he's begging his family to believe that he's innocent at Empire

and to continue supporting him. He's still saying that he's innocent. He's not saying that any of this was orchestrated by him. They said he addressed everybody on set. He said, I'm sorry I put you all through this and not answered any calls. I wanted to say I'm sorry, and you know me. I would never do this to any of you. You are my family.

I swear to God, I did not do this. And they said he left set because he had been crying a lot, so producers said he would have to any of you. You are my family. I swear to God, I did not do this. And they said he left set because he had been crying a lot, so producers said he would have to come back later. And they said he did end up shooting whatever scene he had to shoot. But some of his co-workers want him fired. They feel like he betrayed their trust and they're furious and they feel if Fox does

not fire him, that he should quit because he doesn't deserve a spot on the show. What do you believe if you were working side by side with him? I mean, it has to be some type of moral clause, but, I mean, he lied. It's like, does that affect his job? Well, he's saying that he didn't lie, so. Well, yeah, he's not found guilty yet. You can't fire him.

And even if he is found guilty for lying, what does that have to do with the show? He's still an actor. He's still working. You know, what does that have to do with it, in my opinion? Jesse was also on that show on TNT, Drop the Mic, and they have not put out that episode. They actually are not putting that episode out, but they do have a snippet of his rap battle. He was battling our girl Danielle Brooks

from Orange is the New Black, and here's what his Donald Trump diss sounded like. Orange is the new black made Danielle a star, but tonight's the first time she gonna face some real bars. I wanted Uzo or Samira. They gave me this chump. You the worst orange person since Donald Trump.

But no one sells streaming services like you do. I saw you were on Netflix, so I bought Hulu. I can't believe they would compare my rhymes to this trash. Yo, that's like comparing Obama to, say, Stacey Dash. The drama's okay, but you just don't take them serious after all the stuff that he's going through. Well, now they yanked the whole episode after all this. They did. Unfortunately, everybody who participated in the episode, they won't be seen.

They shouldn't yank that episode. I mean, the man lied. He did lie. He didn't commit. He didn't kill anybody. He didn't rape anybody. He lied. He lied.

He just cost the Chicago Police Department a lot of money and had a lot of people standing up for him. Right, and he has to pay those PEs. He should have to pay that back in retribution. But you know what? He's lucky nothing worse happened. Thank God. Things could have been completely left. A. He should have to pay that back in retribution. But you know what? He's lucky nothing worse happened. Thank God. Things could have been completely left. A cop could have got killed on the way to the scene.

Anything could have happened, but it didn't. He lied. He should be hit with a fine and keep it moving. All right, and before I close out this rumor report, I just want to shout out to Nipsey Hussle and Lauren London. They had an incredible photo shoot for GQ magazine. I thought it was beautiful with their California love. They did all these scenes

in the middle of Slauson Avenue. They were on a horse. People thought they were taking engagement photos, remember, previously, but it turns out it was a shoot for GQ. Super cute story. They talk about how they met. He says that she slid in his DMs, and she's like, that's not what happened. But it all started with his Crenshaw mixtape that he sold for

$100 by making it not available to a lot of people. It was like a collector's item. Right. And she actually purchased that and then started following him. And they've been together for five years since. Nice. So congratulations to them. Beautiful photo shoot.

Absolutely. All right. I'm Angela Yee. And that is your rumor report. All right. Now we got front page news next. What are we talking about? Yeah.

Let's talk about a mayor in Florida. We'll tell you why he is now in hot. What's all. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. Don't move. It's the about a mayor in Florida. We'll tell you why he is now in hot water. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Happy Friday. Let's get in some front page news.

What are we talking about? Let's talk about a mayor in a town in Florida, Port Ritchie, Mayor Dale Massad. He got in trouble because he was still doing medical. He was still acting as a doctor and giving patients treatment at his home, even though he did not have his license anymore. What do you mean? He was a mayor? Yeah, he was practicing medicine without a license.

So he was a mayor and just, what was he doing at his crib? Was he a gynecologist? I don't know what kind of doctor or what type of medicine he was practicing medicine without a license. So he was a mayor and just, what was he doing at his crib? Was he a gynecologist? I don't know what kind of doctor or what type of medicine he was practicing. People are crazy. But I didn't finish the story. Okay, I'm sorry. All right, so the SWAT team actually came to his home to arrest him. And guess what he did? Open fire at the SWAT team when they came.

He fired two shots at officers before he got arrested. And he's dead? He's not dead? No, he's not dead. See, now if I said if this was a black man and he would open fire on some cops, he wouldn't be telling the story. They said he's actually lucky that he's not dead. So the 68-year-old mayor surrendered to authorities,

and now he is facing attempted murder and practicing medicine without a license charge. There is no way in the hell anybody that I know can fire two rounds at a police officer. Who do you know that would do that? Well, I'm just saying anybody I know, any hell anybody that I know can fire two rounds at a police officer. Who do you know that would do that? I'm just saying anybody I know, any black person that I know, if they fired any type of round, if they even had a gun, they would be dead. There was no way they would let him walk out of that house. Yeah, they actually retreated when he started firing those shots.

But how crazy is... They retreated from that 60-year-old, 8-year-old man? Mm-hmm. All right. All right, now, speaking of ages, the NBA wants to lower the draft age to 18, and they have submitted a proposal, a formal proposal, to the National Basketball Players Association

to attempt to do that. Now, right now, the current draft eligible age is 19. This all comes after Duke's Zion Williamson got injured in the game against North Carolina, and after that injury, a lot of people were having issues with that whole rule.

Isaiah Thomas tweeted out, let these kids go straight out of high school. Too much on the line to be messing with college if you got a legit chance to turn pro. That's right. One injury can change somebody's career. Zion, sit your ass down, LOL, and we will be ready for you in the big boy league. Now think about it. If you're a father or a mother and you know your son is going to the league, you know he's that good, you know professionally he could play with those those uh men are you gonna let your son possibly ruin that

in college and get an injury like zion kind of did and ruined his whole career and i'm not just talking about maybe a million or maybe 100 i'm talking about 20 30 40 50 million 100 million am i gonna give that up because of some stupid ass uh regulation no i'm gonna have my son play one game and he's going to sit out and say he's injured the whole season. Your son's going pro? I hope so. Alright, well, you know, those Nikes did their stock did drop

after that happened because the shoes actually fell apart while he was playing and that's what his injury resulted from that. Puma already said wouldn't have happened in the Pumas and they had put that tweet up. Of course. They since deleted that tweet as well Alright, I'm Angela Yee And that's your Front Page News

Alright, thank you Miss Yee Now let's talk Jussie Smollett Alright, 800-585-1051 Do you think he could bounce back from this? That is the question 800-585-1051 Or how? Maybe you need to play Olivia Pope

And let us know What advice would you give if you were his PR whiz on what he needs to do for people to want to hire him again, to trust him, to win back the public. All right. 800-585-1051. If you was Olivia Pope, we need all the Olivia Popes out there. I know a lot of you women and men out there be like, I can do it. I watch Scandal. This is what he needs to do.

This is what he needs to do. Well, call us up right now. What does he need to do? What would you say, MV? I'll tell you when we come back. 800-585-1051 is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The

Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking Jussie Smollett. And we're asking, we need all you Olivia Popes out there, what would you do to get him back on top? Pause, pause, pause. What would you get him back to get him back out there to get people to change their mind on him, to get him back out there working? What would you advise him to do?

Angela Yee, what would you advise for Jussie Smollett? Well, I would tell Jussie he has to be unapologetically apologetic. What the hell is that? I don't know. But he definitely has to own his truth now and admit that if he did indeed lie, what was the thinking behind that? If he's having some traumatic experiences, I think he has to just be open and honest about it and do something where he's just really straightforward, discuss his flaws.

People love the fact that we're all flawed human beings, and when we can admit those flaws, I think that helps us be more in touch with the average person because we all do things that are inexplicable, that are wrong, that are messed up. But the true measure of a person's character is can you admit when that happens, and that's what he needs to do. See, I was thinking about this, right? Now, if you're Jussie Smollett, you got to take a step back and be like, what do people dislike right now?

What do people hate? And people dislike Donald Trump. They hate Donald Trump more than they hate liars. Well, same thing. He is a liar. Correct. So what I would say was I was doing this for the Democratic candidates for 2020. I wanted people to really hate Donald Trump.

So I really wanted the people to feel like all the MAGA supporters hate homosexuals and hate black people. So I staged this to help you guys get in office. I really did it for the cause. I did it not for myself. I did it for the people. And I was wrong in doing it, but I just wanted people to know that Donald Trump is no

good and he doesn't like black people. But you know what? All that's going to do is for the people that are Trump supporters, make them take aim at people that are liberals and Democrats. And it also just makes us look bad. Right. No, you're right. Because that's already happening. So that kind of defeats the whole purpose.

But then you say, if I didn't get caught, it would be such a good thing because it would have been MAGA supporters hating homosexuals and hating African Americans. So it would have been good, but I got caught, and I did it wrong. And I apologize, and I'm so sorry, and I hope my community takes me back. I was doing it for us. We need to get Trump out of office. And then I would just start talking about all the candidates in 2020 that I want to help.

And they'd be like, get out of here. That wouldn't work? I think that would work. No, he's got to be honest. You can't just still try to fluff around it. All right.

Hello, who's this? This is Stephanie. Hey, Stephanie Pope, all right? Stephanie, a.k.a. Olivia Pope. Now, what would you tell Jussie? What would your opinion be? I'm just still trying to hold out hope that he got that stupid. And he didn't do this.

You're a good publicist. You ride with him to the end. I'm just saying, just please don't be that stupid. But what would you tell him to do now? We got to do some damage control. I tell him to ask somebody with consent. To talk to somebody. Okay, not said. You're up to somebody. Okay, not you.

You're not a good publicist. We would fire you. We would fire you immediately. Hello, who's this? It's Melissa. Hi, Evie. Hey, Melissa. Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning, Angela. Good morning, Melissa. Now, we need your expertise. What would you tell Jesse to do? Admit to his wrongdoing. Uh-huh. He needs to admit that he lied. Okay. He needs to tell us why wrongdoing. He needs to admit that he lied.

He needs to tell us why he lied. He needs to be honest with us in the culture period. Why did you lie? Why did you think this was okay?

He can't be that honest, right? Because if he says, now I'm just saying allegedly, now they're saying because they didn't like his salary. Now we find out

that he makes $250,000 a year. And he says, I wanted a higher salary, everybody will hate him. Right. So he can't say that. So he might not be able to tell the whole truth.

Maybe just a little bit of the truth. He got to tell the whole truth. Maybe. He got to tell the whole truth. Nah. Once you get caught, you got to tell the truth. You got to tell the truth. I mean, every day we're looking at him getting arrested.

We're hearing more news about this. All right. It's time. The gig is up. It's up. It's done and over with. Just tell us why you did it getting arrested. We're hearing more news about this. All right, it's time. The gig is up. It's up. It's done and over with. Just tell us why you did it. Right.

We're curious. And then he could do a documentary about it. Nah, you got to make up an excuse. You can't just say the whole truth. 800-585-1051. We're talking Jussie Smollett. If you were his PR, if you were his Olivia Pope, what would you advise him to do?

Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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 Jussie Smollett. Now, if you were Olivia Pope, if you were his Olivia Pope, what would you advise him to do?

Now, I would advise him to say that he did it for the cause, meaning he did it to really get the next 2020 candidates in office. He did it for his own selfish reasons. You've got to own it. And they support Trump, and we need to get Trump out of office. I would go that hard. No one's going to believe that. You did it for your own selfish purposes.

They believed him anyway, so, I mean, I would keep going. Somebody's going to believe him. No, I don't think so. I think at this point, there's nothing you could do but own up to the fact that you're a flawed individual. You lied about some things for selfish purposes. You've learned your lesson. And let this be a lesson for other people

so you don't have to go through what Jussie went through. That ain't going to work. Hello, who's this? This is Ty from Jersey. What's up, Ty? What's going on? Now, Ty, what do you think Jussie should do, bro? He's done up. He can never bounce back. He's done up.

You know what I mean? Like, I was just telling my co-worker, at the end of the day, there's real... I don't get what you're saying, DJ Envy. Pay your fine and that's it. But it's more to that,

to the LGBT community. You know what I'm saying? People die every day for real just like that. Right. There's real attacks that happen. Exactly. So for him to play like that or, like, who really punches themselves in the face just to get clout?

I said that the other day. I said, you know how tough that had to be to punch yourself in the face and, like, will you cut yourself? Well, you really sit in the mirror like, I'm going to put a bruise under my eye and say I got attacked. Like, that is crazy to me. Like, we respected you on Empire for coming out. And, you know, you had a platform. You didn't have to do all that just to get what he was looking for. You ain't got to lie to kick it.

You know what I'm saying? Like, you was doing your thing. Like, you could have just chilled out. But the fact that he lied and there's actual people in real life today still lying from, you know, being gay-bashed and all that. That's crazy to me. I have no respect for that man. He could be in jail. I don't care.

I don't care what happens. So there's nothing he can do, basically. There's nothing he can do, no. It's over. Say, how you doing to me? Don't talk to me, bro. So what do you suggest he does in the future? What should his new job be?

Go home and eat some cereal. That's it. He done. Damn, Ty. Ty, are you gay? What kind of cereal? Huh? Are you gay? Are you gay, Ty? Oh, my God. Fruit Loops? I love Fruit Loops.

Are you gay, Ty? Am I gay? Yeah. I don't know. Nah. Yes or no? He's like... Ty said, I don't know. Maybe I'm not sure. He's bisexual. Alright, Ty. Whatever you want, Ty. We got you, Ty. Thank you, man.

All right, Fred. You have a good day. You too. Ty said, oh, you got, I don't know. Maybe, maybe, maybe. I don't know. Come on, man. Marcus.

Hey, what's going on, man? What's up, Marcus? Now, we're talking Jussie Smollett. If you were his Olivia Pope, what would you advise him to do? Man, if I was Olivia Pope giving him advice, I mean, I really would try to tell him to take a different career path because this might not be it. Yeah, this might not be it.

So you're saying his acting wasn't that good? I mean, his acting was good, but I don't think it was good enough to save his career, no. Damn. Marcus, are you gay? No, no, I have a gay brother, though. Okay. Okay. Crazy, though, because I got some insight from him because, I mean, I talked to my sister and stuff. Okay. So he's in the, okay. Crazy, though, because I had a, you know, like, I got some insight from him.

Because, I mean, I talk to my sisters and stuff, and I talk to different people at work. But it's not the same, like, talking to my brother. Like, my brother feels like, it's like he's kind of forcing people to accept the way that he is. You know, like, that's what he felt like he was doing. Like, just trying to put himself out there to where he made it seem like he was a victim. Or he felt attacked, like saying that, you know, the gay is like the new black type thing.

Like, he goes through just as much as anybody else. Yeah, he went a little too far with the gay pox stuff. Like, he was going hard with it. The gay pox. My brother felt like he wasn't, he's like making it look, not like them look bad, but he's making it seem like when he goes somewhere,

now people are being forced to look at him different, like, you bad, but he's making it seem like when he goes somewhere, now people are being forced to look at him different, like, you know, just because of what's going on. And I'm like, damn, I ain't know that D. You know, like, for him to,

you know, like for me to talk to him and him say that, you know? Okay. All right. Well, thank you for calling, Marcus. Yeah, no problem.

No problem, man. Y'all take it easy, man. All right, bro. 805-85-1051. When we come back, I want to talk to Styles. He's on the line right now. Styles says if he comes back with a bomb album, he good money.

We'll talk to him when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Another one. Another one. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. If you just joined us, we're talking Jussie Smollett. And we're asking, if you were his Olivia Pope, what would you advise him to do? If he wants him to keep going with the lie, I think it's time for him to come clean. I didn't say keep going with the lie. I mean, you don't want him to be honest, though. Honesty is not going to work for him. You can't do more lies.

If the real reason is he wanted a higher pay raise, and he's already making way more than a lot of people out there, nobody's ever going to look at him the same again. He's probably making $150,000, $200,000 a year. Whatever the purpose,

you just got to be like, look, I lied. I wanted attention. I've been going through a lot of things. I don't know what I was thinking. Nah. I'm a flawed human being.

Nah, that ain't going to work. Styles. I'm a work in progress. That's what all men say when they get caught cheating. Styles. Hey, what's going on? What up, though?

What up, though? What up, Styles? Envy, you need to come to Detroit and do one of those flip house seminars. For real. We got one coming up. I'll be actually in Detroit next Tuesday. I got a party, R&B Tuesdays. But I will be out there.

We're going to definitely do one out in Detroit. I love Detroit. All right. All right. Cool. out there. We're going to definitely do one out in Detroit. I love Detroit. Alright, alright, cool. So, the PR person should not be Olivia Pope or do Olivia Pope or how to get away with murder type situation because

they'll turn around and put all kind of business out on the whole cast of Empire. So what they need to do is put him in rehab for real. He said that he was on dope. You know his mind is not right. He was on ecstasy. He could tell you from Detroit. He He said that he was on dope. You know, his mind is not right. He was on ecstasy.

He could tell you from Detroit. He could tell you he was on dope. Go ahead. I'm telling you, put him, put Jamal in rehab because he on dope on the show for real. And then put him in rehab for some time. Then after he comes out, he comes out with a dope I'm Sorry album

like Chris Brown kind of did. And then he'll be cool. Everybody will forget all about this. So he should do an album talking about everything that he did, him saying he's sorry,

lay low, and then pop back up with muscles and all that. That's right. All right. Yep. I see you so, Eric. Oh my gosh,

that's going to be crazy. Eric. Yeah, what's good? All right, man. You think he could bounce back? We're talking, Juss Eric. Oh, my gosh. That's going to be crazy. Eric. Yeah, what's good? All right, man. You think he could bounce back? We're talking, Jussie. If you were his Olivia Pope, what would you advise him to do? I mean, dude, there is no bounce back from that.

I mean, there is going to be a bounce back. There is. There's always a bounce back. Always. Never say that. There's always going to be a bounce back. But I don't feel like, dude, like, at this time and moment, like, don't cry and beg it for help. Come on now.

Just, first off, admit it. You brought so much attention to yourself, the national attention. You went out and did all these rampages going against Donald Trump and stuff like this. We were on your side. You're making us, the black community, look stupid. You're making the gay community look stupid.

You're making us young black men look stupid. Come on now. They look at us like we're all the same. You already know that. It's already hard for us to go out there and get on that type of platform and solidify our position here. And for you to go out there and go out there and bring so much attention to yourself, it brings us down. It angers me because I'm young. I'm single.

I'm black. I'm a single father. I'm up and coming with my own business. I just got started with my own business. And to hear stuff like this, it pisses me off. Right. I'm 27, so I'm new to it. I haven't even hit my prime yet.

Just like the Chris Brown situation, how they accused him of raping the girl and all of this. But one thing I don't get is how quick they was quick to find. Like, they found all these text messages. You know, they got all the cameras. They got all this information. But when these false accusers do this stuff,

they were so quick to do. Man, I don't know that I would compare this to a Chris Brown situation, but I understand what you're saying. When there's a girl accused Chris Brown of raping and it came out that that was do. I don't know that I would compare this to a Chris Brown situation, but I understand what you're saying. There's a girl accused Chris Brown of raping, and it came out that that was false. I feel like they should be grabbing those falsified records. Well, yeah, that should definitely be a crime. That should definitely be a crime.

But Chris Brown is pressing charges against her. But even with that case, right, she falsified the records, and they said she falsified everything. How come she wasn't locked up? I think he is pressing charges. Yeah, but they should have locked up immediately. He shouldn't have to press charges for them to lock her up. They should have locked her up for falsifying everything.

Brian Locke, the Olympic swimmer, he lied about something that happened. They didn't lock him up. The Central Park Five, did anybody get locked up from that? When them boys did, what, 10 years in prison? You mean the woman that accused them of raping her? Yes. He should get slapped on the wrist. He should have to pay all those fines.

He should have to pay all those salaries for all the time that they worked. But should he go to jail? Nah. I don't think he should go to jail. But I definitely think he should have to pay a huge retribution. And yeah. And he may end up getting probation. He may not end up going to jail.

He'll definitely have to pay. We just don't know what it's going to be yet. And in the words of Charlemagne Tha God, he should go get some help. He should go see a psychologist or therapist. Whatever Charlemagne would advise him to go see. Whatever. Yeah, absolutely. But he got to go see somebody because he's got to fix himself.

Now, what's the moral of the story, Yeezy? Listen, don't lie because then you won't be in this situation. I mean, I don't know what else you can say. But I do believe that when you get caught doing something, you got to come clean and just be honest. Telling one lie leads to another lie, which leads to another one, which leads to another. All right, well, we got rumors on the way. Yeah, let's talk about R. Kelly

because now there's two women coming forward about him and his predatory ways. Goodness gracious. All right, well, we'll get to that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. And Charlamagne is not here.

So we're going to open up the phone lines and let you give donkey of the day to somebody. Who's getting that donkey? Whoever you want to give donkey to, get on the phone lines right now. 800-585-1051. Give somebody donkey of the day. Your mama, your daddy, your pappy, your girl, your man, Jussie Smollett.

Is it your daddy and your pappy the same thing? Yeah, I guess it is. But anyway, whoever you want to do, call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Right at bat, Turbo. Let's talk Wendy Williams. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip.

Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. So it looks like Wendy Williams is returning to her TV show.

It's been more than two months since she's been gone. But they said she will finally return on Monday, March 4th. So she is coming back. The show's not a wrap. No, it's not a wrap. Wendy Williams is an incredible talent with the most unique voice in daytime,

according to her production company. We can't wait to welcome her back to her iconic purple chair on the set of her show. We so appreciate all the guest hosts and panelists who filled in for Wendy during this time. These people are and always

will be true family to the show, and we want to thank all of the loyal and supportive fans who have been with us for 10 years now. Well, shout out to Wendy Williams. I'm glad she is coming back. I hate to see anybody lose their job. She's an amazing talent. Well, hopefully she also is doing well now. Hopefully she got help and everything

that she needed. Been having whatever ailments that she's dealing with and hopefully now she can come back and be refreshed. Correct. All right, Mary J. Blige. She was on BBC Radio, One Extra,

and she said that she is done dealing with broke men. Wow. She told DJ Ace he has to have more money than me, that's for sure, because I'm not taking care

of any more men. Okay. And Madame Mary, she had a bunch of relationships where she took care of a bunch of men, and that's the way she feels. Damn. Hey, Madame Mary.

How many guys did she take care of? I mean, a lot. Why did you say that? She had a lot of bad relationships. She had a lot of good albums where she talked about a lot of bad relationships. But I think what she's saying is financially, for once in her life,

instead of her being the breadwinner, she doesn't want to have to be, she wants somebody equal or more. Right. And I think a lot of times women go through that where we're always doing this charity work.

That's what you call it? Charity work? Taking a man out as charity work? I thought it was love. We're doing all this charity. I thought you loved me. I thought we were going out

because you loved me. Trying to fix you up. And you see how that ended for her, right? Now I'm a little orphan boy in charity work. I upgraded you. Upgraded you.

And this is what happens? Men don't do it all the time. Look, she wants to be... Don't they do charity work then, too? Is that what you call it? She wants to be taken care of for once, okay? She's been through a lot of things. Now she finally wants to feel like,

you pamper me, you take care of me. Mary deserves it. Yeah, she does. Shout out to Mary J. Blige. All right, R. Kelly, two new accusers have come forward saying that there was sexual misconduct when they were only teenagers.

And they want to encourage other victims to come forward as well. These women are telling their story, Latrisa Scaff and Rochelle Washington. They are represented by Gloria Allred. They had a conference. And here is what Latrisa had to say about how she met R. Kelly. I was 16 years old and living in Baltimore when I met R. Kelly in 1995. My friend Rochelle and I went to a concert that R. Kelly and LL Cool J were performing in together. Rochelle was only 15 years old.

We had bought tickets to the concert and the after party as well. At the after party, Mr. Kelly pointed to us and talked to his security. He also asked Rochelle and I to go to his suite at his hotel. We took a taxi and we followed a white van in which R. Kelly was riding to that hotel. All right, she goes on to talk about what happened once they were inside of the hotel. The man who let us into the room returned. He had a walkie-talkie. He said, R. Kelly is getting ready to enter the room. Pull up your dresses. Rochelle and I did what we were told. Then Aunt Kelly came into the room a few minutes later.

His penis was out and over top of his pants. He put his hands under my dress. He asked us both if we could do a threesome. Rochelle said, no, I don't do that. And she went into the bathroom. He asked me to perform oral sex on him. I was under the influence of marijuana and alcohol, and I did it. He then had sexual intercourse with me, even though I did not have the capacity to consent.

Now, we told you previously about a grand jury that has convened to investigate these alleged sex tapes that are in existence. And according to Michael Avenetti, he's an attorney, so handed those to the Cook County State Attorney's Office, and it's a VHS tape that shows R. Kelly having sex with a girl who seemed to be 14 years old at the time. Does the time matter at this point?

What do you mean? That it was, what, 15 years ago? No, I don't think so. It doesn't matter? Not in cases like this. Okay, good. So this could be something brand new. And a grand jury has already convened to investigate these new women that are coming forward.

So we'll see what happens next. And Michael Jackson, his estate is suing HBO for $100 million. Now, what they are saying is that HBO signed a contract that included a non-disparagement agreement with Michael Jackson in 1992 when they aired his Michael Jackson live and concert in Bucharest, a dangerous tour. Now, they also said that, you know, this whole thing, they're saying this whole thing is just false. These accusations are not true.

They already had said that it hadn't happened, and now they are doubling back and saying it did. HBO responded to that lawsuit. They said, despite the desperate lengths taken to undermine the film, our plans remain unchanged. HBO will move forward with the airing of Leaving Neverland, the two-part documentary on March 3rd and 4th. This will allow everyone the

opportunity to assess the film and the claims in it for themselves. Yeah, I think that, uh, I think the estate should sue the pants off of those people. Off of HBO? Off of HBO. Or for anybody who put that documentary out, especially if it's not true. I mean, this has been a long time. Michael Jackson is dead.

These people got on the stand and said that wasn't true. So I guess we'll see what happens, right? All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, who are you giving that donkey to?

800-585-1051. Who do you want to give the donkey to? Phone lines are wide open. You can give the donkey to whoever you want. Your mama, your papa, Angela Yee. Maybe DJ Envy. Angela Yee, Charlamagne. Maybe you want Envy to play different songs

because he plays a lot of the same songs every morning. I don't pick the songs that play throughout the show. So why are you in these meetings picking songs? I don't pick the songs. Stop telling people. See, you're Jussie Smollett in there. You're lying. I don't know who is, but it could be you

because you were the one advising Jussie Smollett to keep there. You're lying. I don't know who is, but it could be you because you were the one advising Jussie Smollin' to keep lies going earlier. And I said he should come clean. And Envy, it's time for you to come clean as well. I don't play those songs, but anyway. I see you over there with buttons all in front of you. What are those buttons for? What buttons?

What are you talking about? What you gonna play next, Envy? Why don't hope you lie? Yo, stop it. 800-585-1051. Sounds like Envy's going to play ZZ next. Give somebody dog. I give somebody dog as the breakfast club.

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.

Both of y'all. Me and Envy. Okay. What racist agenda? Go ahead. I'm a Trump supporter and I listen to the show a lot. So we push a racist agenda, but Trump doesn't. Give me some facts.

I don't have any facts. Okay, so you don't believe that Trump has said anything racist ever? That all illegal immigrants do nothing but rape and criminalize and hurt people. And that Haiti is an ish hole country. That's a media narrative that they push. No, he actually said it. He said it out of his mouth. Come on now.

You're just basically taking snipp're basically taking snippets. Taking snippets, he said. But it's the things that somebody said. That's crazy. Goodbye, man. Hello, who's this? This is Angie. Hey, Angie.

Hey, Angie. Who you want to give your donkey to this morning? I want to give donkey of the day to the people who lie about serious offenses like Justin Smollett and the girl that accused Chris Brown of rape because those are serious offenses and just like they arrested him for it. Anybody who does that should be arrested if they're found guilty of lying about it.

Right. I agree. Listen, I think there definitely needs to be some type of punishment for people who waste the time and energy and money for... And the money, absolutely. Hello, who's this? Hey, guys.

My name is Allie. Hey, Allie. Who you want to give that donkey to this morning? Well, I want to give the donkey of the day to my girlfriend's ex-girlfriend. Uh-oh. Your girlfriend's ex-girlfriend. Why? Yeah, because she keeps stalking us on social media.

It's awkward and it's weird. Oh, so you're with her now and you're like, leave her alone. She's with me. She's doing everything with me. She's eating my b****. I'm eating her b****. And your b**** is out of here. All that, all that, all that.

She's doing it. She keeps saying all this crazy stuff. She says fake things about herself. It's just crazy. I bet you won't say her name, though. Don't do that. No, I won't do that. No, because I literally...

Oh, my God. I literally have morals. Is that your girlfriend in the background? There you go. You have morals. My girlfriend wilding in the background right now. She's f***ed up, bitch. No, you can't curse.

Alright, now that was Donkey of the Day. Charlamagne is out So thanks to everybody Who called Now up next I got this email You know I do a podcast With my wife called

The KC Crew Podcast And I got this email And I wanted to ask you And everybody out there What they thought So lady email First I just want to say That I listen to the podcast

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you for listening Now my husband and I Have five kids Three three together, and I have two from a previous marriage. He is a great father to all of them. He supports them at sporting events, cheerleading, taekwondo, gymnastics, etc. He is really sweet and affectionate.

We get into arguments and fights like any other couples, but nothing too crazy. The problem was I once found the Grindr app on his phone. Okay. And he said he was just checking it out because he didn't know what it was. I called Bullish because you can preview and even read about the app before downloading it. He brushed me off and deleted it. However, I decided to...

Let me look at what comes up when I Google it. I decided to download the app and created a fake profile. Once I was able to find him, based on the search, I inboxed him with pictures of some random guy online. Yeah, when you try to download it, it says it's the world's number one free mobile social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people to connect. Well, she created this fake profile. He said at first he didn't reply, but after nudging for some time, he finally did reply and said I was too masculine for his liking. So I opened

up a new profile and tried a transsexual and he took the bait. I wasn't an expert on how the app worked and after a while he figured it out. He figured it was me, blocked me, and deleted the app again. He said, oh, you think it was funny? I played along because I knew it was you, which I doubt.

Over the time, I just let it blow over because I wanted to start snooping again. To make a long story short, I found pictures of him having sex with another man. How much more evidence does she need? On his phone, but she said she wasn't sure the pictures were so grainy. It seemed like it came from maybe before their relationship. She said, I tried to confront him about it, but he said no and started acting macho. I even found

a recent picture of him with one of my toys in his butt. I'm so torn. Wait, Emi, is this from Gia? No, shut up, it's not. But anyway, she's asking what she should do, and we'll take your calls when we come back, and I want your advice too, Yee, and I'll tell you what I said. Yeah, you've had

toys in your butt. No, I haven't. Shut up. 800-585-1051. What do you think she should do? We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, I was telling you that me and my wife, we do a podcast called The KC Crew Podcast. It's all about relationships. And sometimes we get emails, or we get emails all the time, but we read emails on the podcast sometimes. And this email was very interesting, so I'll read some of it. My husband and I have five kids, three together.

I have two from a previous marriage. He's a great father, takes care of the kids, takes them to cheerleading, taekwondo, and all that. Really sweet. I was looking through his phone and I seen the Grindr app on his phone. I asked him about it and he said I was just checking it out because he didn't know what it was. Was he on there

as Rashawn or as DJ Envy? Shut up. So, I called BS and I decided to make a fake profile. And when I did, I started hitting him up with messages and nudging him and nudging him. He finally responded and said I was too masculine for his liking. So, I decided to try again. This time I tried a transsexual and he took the bait. I wasn't an expert on how to at work.

And after a while, he figured out it was me, blocked it, and deleted it again. And he came to me and said, you think you were funny? I played along because I know it was you. To make a long story short, going through his phone some more, I found pictures of him having sex with another man. His face wasn't there, but I know what he looks like. She's still not sure. The pictures were grainy and poor quality, which makes me believe that it's from an older phone. I tried to confront him, and he started acting macho and said it wasn't him.

I also found a picture of one of my toys in his butt. I'm so turned off by this, but we're in our early 40s. I don't want to raise five kids alone. The kids adore him and love him. I just don't know if I can shake it. What does Logan think? Should I shut up? Should I stay or should I leave?

Can a bi guy go straight? Do you think we should go to therapy? What do you think we should do? Signed, so embarrassed. So what do you think, E? Well, in my expert opinion on this matter, I would say the bigger issue is not whether he's gay, bi, or whatever. It's more trust. She doesn't trust him, clearly.

She's going through his phone. She's finding things that he's lying about. He's still not being honest with her. She already knows what the truth is, but he won't tell the truth. The two of them don't trust each other, and that's what the biggest issue is here. So when you start having to start going through people's phones, when you start doing all this research, when you start creating fake accounts

on Grindr and reaching out to your man, you shouldn't have to do those things. And so that's what the real problem, if you ask me, is in the relationship. Yeah, absolutely. I agree with you. And then the fact you're just going to steal her toy and put it in your butt. How do you know it was her toy? She said it was her toy. Oh, it was her toy.

Get your own, right, Envy? Shut up. No, I think he is absolutely positively a cheater. And I think that's one of the things that you got to be extra careful for. You caught him so many different times and he's continuing to do it. That's the problem. And absolutely positively, if anybody cheats on you, you should get yourself tested to make sure that if they caught a disease

or if they caught anything that you don't have it. But let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hey, DJ Envy. This is Savina. Hi, Angela. Hey, girl. Hey, Shavina. What do you think, mama? Okay, real quick, I just want to say, Monday was my birthday.

Happy belated birthday. It was a bad bitch birthday. Thank you, guys. But real quick, Shorty needs to run. Like, she's making a mistake. How's she gonna say that the pictures may have been before her? Like, that's disgusting.

She has kids by this man. She's gay. She found pictures. What does she need next? Like, a picture of him with a purple eggplant in his mouth? She might have that picture

too already. I don't know. Eggplants are delicious with cheese and sauce. Oh, no, they're not. Thank you, mama. Oh, my gosh, Angela. Oh, my gosh.

She needs to run, guys. Like, what's up, guys? What's a gear do when it happen to her? Shut up. My advice is the same. She should absolutely positively get out of Dodge. Thank you, mama. Chauncey.

Yo, how you doing? DJ Envy. What up? How y'all doing? What's up, Chauncey? What do you think she should do? Yo, I got to tell her to get away, man. It's too freaky. You know what I mean?

There's too much going on with that, man. She's going to end up in the threesome with the two dudes, and he's going to have more fun with her. Sounds like a party. That's not a party. That's a train. No, it's not. That's a threesome.

You said it's a party. No, that's a threesome. What would you do? Do about what? That situation? No, like what would you do if you got caught on Grindr with a dildo on your butt? I don't do Grindr at home. Not even going there.

Maybe DJ Envy might, but not me. Oh. People know. 800-585-1051. What should she do? Call us now. Envy's having problems at home

and he needs your help. Has nothing to do with Envy. This is an evening. Forget it. What would you do? It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart?

Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.

It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, I'm reading this email that I got on my podcast. I do a podcast with my wife, The KC Crew Podcast.

Now, Gia wasn't here that day, but she wrote in a question. Shut up. No, I wasn't. So I'm going to read the email fast. My husband and I have five kids. See? Three together and two from a previous marriage. He's very supportive.

He loves me. The problem is, going through his phone, I found the Grindr app. When I found the app, he said he just wanted to see what it was, so I decided to create a profile and sent him pictures. When I sent him pictures of other men he said I look too masculine so I decided to use a transsexual that I found online.

And after that... This is entrapment. He started going back and forth with me. I really didn't know what I was doing. He figured out it was me, blocked me and deleted it again. Going through his phone some more I found some pictures of him having sex with another man. You couldn't see his face. The pictures were very grainy and poor quality, which leads me to believe that they are from an older phone.

I also found a picture with one of my toys in his butt. I'm so turned off by this, but I don't know what to do. We are both in our 40s. I don't want to raise five kids alone. The kids adore them and I love them. And we have to go to the Hampton reunion together. Can a bi guy go straight? Do I leave state therapy?

What do you think I should do? And it's not even about whether he's bi or not. It's about the fact that he's lying, cheating, and he's on dating apps. She said I can't share this with my friends or my mom. This is embarrassing. Please let me know what I should do. Maybe I shouldn't have read it on there, but let's go to the phone lines. Ashley.

Hey. Hey, DJ Henry. What's up, Ashley? What do you think she should do? What would you tell Gia? Shut up. Well, Ashley, what do you think she should do? So, first off, I just want to say I love y'all's show. I listen to y'all every morning. Thank you, Ashley. I love y'all. But this situation had y'all every morning. Thank you, Ashley. I love you Friday. I love you guys. Y'all are hilarious.

But this situation had me literally goofed. Like, my mouth was dropped when I kept hearing all this stuff that she kept finding. Girl, you better leave that man alone because he like boys.

And there is nothing wrong with being gay, but I cannot stand that if I was here and to run into a guy who pretends that he's so macho and all about his girl, but yet you're doing

all this stuff behind her back with guys, and it's just terrible. Even if he was cheating with other women, that's wrong. It don't even matter. You're cheating and lying.

Yeah, cheating period. And then that whole first incident of him saying you're not masculine enough for me, that would have cut it right there. And then you're using my toys and your butt. I don't even put that in my butt.

I was like, oh my God, I yelled when I heard that one. Yeah. You don't put the toys in. You're okay. I'm saying he could give her an infection. Envy, when you take that out and then it has, you know, excrement on it and then you put it in her.

I'm sorry. She could get an infection. You know you're not supposed to go from back to front. You're supposed to go from front to back. Okay. He's kinky. Lisa. Hi. Now, Lisa, you was married to back. Okay. He's kinky. Lisa. Hi.

Now, Lisa, you was married to a gay guy? Yes, I was. What happened? Explain to us. What was going on? I supported him for a long time. And then what happened? Well, how did you realize he was gay?

Y'all got married. You thought he was straight. And how did you know he was gay? Did he tell you or what? No, no, no. He was messing around with women at first and um when i was uh supporting him i was working and he was cheating on me with women um when i lost my job i was married i was married to him we had a kid i had lost my job um they had they had had moved our company

and I came home one day and they had told me they had laid us off and he looked at me in the middle of the night and he said, you're going to have to go out and make money. Whoa. Like prostitute? Yeah. And I looked at him and I'm a young kid

and I said, how do you That was his solution? Yeah. Meanwhile, he's laying there not working? Yeah. And I looked at him and I'm a young kid and I said, how do you That was his solution? Yeah. Meanwhile, he's laying there not working? Yeah, and I looked at him and I was about 21 and I looked at him and I had a year and a half old daughter or about, not a year and a half she was about

three months old, about anywhere from three to six months old and I looked at him and I said how do you expect me to make money in the middle of the night? So how did you find out he was gay? I got tired of going out in the middle of the night with this prostitute

who was sharing her money with me. Oh, so you did become a prostitute? You became a prostitute? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I drove her around and she split what she made.

Oh, you was the pimp. So you were the driver. You was the pimp, okay. Yes. That's basically... I can't believe that this man... You know what could have happened to you? How did you find out he was gay?

I went home in the middle of the night and I told him because he was very abusive. And I didn't care about that time, what he would do to me. And I told him, I said, I'm tired of doing this. And he bucked do to me. And I told him, I said, I'm tired of doing this. And he bucked up to me, and I knew about that time what he was going to do.

And he looked at me, and I said, you go out in the streets and make money. So he was a gay prostitute. Yeah. This was just all bad across the board. So you found out he was gay because he said... So you were supporting this man, then you became a driver for a prostitute,

and on top of that, he was gay. He turned into a gay prostitute, yeah. So he was slinging his butt. Was he doing that to support you guys, though? Does that matter why he was doing it to Yeet? Yeah. How much did he charge? It doesn't matter, Yeet.

Envy, you need some? No, I don't. I don't even know. He just made me and my daughter leave the house when this was happening. And I became very embarrassed. I didn't know what to do about that time. You need a book. You need a book deal. So what would you advise this lady to do?

I'm just curious. Whatever she's going through, it's never going to stop. It's going to be, he's going to keep hiding what he's doing. He's never going to stop it. She needs to get away from it. No matter what is going on, if he's hiding it now, he's going to keep stop it. She needs to get away from it. No matter what is going on, if he's hiding it now, he's going to keep hiding it.

And she needs to get away from it. Okay. All right. Well, thank you. And I'm glad you got away from that situation, man. Absolutely. Yes, I've been away from it

for eight years. For you and your daughter's sake. Absolutely. Yes, yes. We're staying with my parents right now. Okay, mama. Well, thank you for calling and sharing your story. You're very welcome. Absolutely. Yes, yes. We're staying with my parents right now. Okay, mama. Well, thank you for calling and sharing your story.

You're very welcome. Thank you. All right. If you want to hit a full email, you can always just subscribe to the KC Crew podcast, which is me and my wife talking about everything relationship. And what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is things can thrive in your relationship. You see Envy and Gia work through that situation.

That's not my situation. But for some people, if something like that keeps happening, it's more about the lying. Once you have to start going through somebody's phone and making fake accounts and doing all that, you done went too far. The toy in the butt was too far.

But anyway, all right. How far did it go? We got rumors on the way. All right, we're going to talk about this show, The Shop, LeBron James' show. We'll tell you what's going to happen on season two and when that's coming. All right.

We'll get to that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Offset. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. It's talk Offset. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. Listen up.

Yes, Offset's new album is out right now, Father of Four. Have you guys had a chance to hear it yet? I haven't heard it yet. I was trying to listen to some of it on my way here today, but he addresses a lot of different things on this album. I know he's the last one from the Migos to put out his solo project. And some people didn't know he had four kids either, by the way.

I didn't know he had four kids. Right. So all of them are on his album cover. So congratulations to him for his new album. Now, Kalani also has an album out. Her highly anticipated mixtape, While We Wait. It's really a mixtape. So it's her third mixtape.

It's her first release since her debut album back in 2017. She didn't have the baby yet, right? I don't think so. Not yet. But she did dedicate her upcoming studio album to her daughter. She said she's telling stories that she's never told. And she said, they're not even some from my perspective. They're from the perspective of two people that I'm about to bring into the world, into light.

And Papoose got an album out today, too. Papoose has an album out today, as well. So does Lil Pump. It's a great day for music. There you go. Today.

All right. The Haunting of Hill House. I know you didn't watch that. I don't watch scary movies. But I did watch that whole entire series on Netflix. Well, because that was

such a huge hit, they said that now this is going to become an anthology series. So the next season is going to focus on another haunted house and the people that live in it. You'll love it.

You should watch it. It's not scary. It's more like spooky-ish. Yeah, I don't believe it. Alright, and speaking of TV The Shop is coming back on March 1st. That's LeBron James and Maverick Carter's show. And they said season two of the series will feature appearances from Meek Mill, 2 Chainz, and more people.

Also Jamie Foxx will be on there, Antonio Brown, Anthony Davis, and Gerard Carmichael as well. Okay. I think that's a dope show that they do. I think that's really dope. They actually had that on the plane. It wasn't on the last flight I was on, but you could watch it too on demand on flights. I did see that on the plane. Everything I see, I see on the plane.

I watched Bohemian Rhapsody twice already. Okay. I love that movie. Alright, so make sure you guys get ready for that. Also, I got to talk about Jordan Woods. You know who Jordan Woods is, right? Yes. That was Kylie Jenner's best friend. Well, she had to move out of Kylie's house

because she was living with her and everything. And according to E!, they're saying sources are telling them that Jordan is devastated. She feels completely lost and that she's been trying to reach out to Khloe to explain herself. She said it was a one-time thing, but there's been no luck. She's reached out to the whole family. They're really not messing with her right now. There's no such thing

as a one time thing. You're a family friend. You're close to the family. You live in the house and you know that's her husband or her man and you let that happen? No way. Well, yes, not her husband. But let's talk about how they're still making money off of Jordan Woods because she has a Kylie Jordan collection,

which is a limited edition line of lip colors, highlighters and eyeshadows that came out last September. And they are saying that that collection will be discontinued, but it's sold out. Wow. So there you go. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee. And that's your rumor report. All right.

Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, shout to Dr. Dre. It was Dr. Dre's birthday earlier this week. Actually, Monday, and we were off. So today we throw it back. We're going to play some Dr. Dre joints for his birthday. All right? Revolt, we'll see you on Monday.

You, shorty, I promise the truth And when I come down on it Yeah, you love when I'm down on it Yeah, you know I'ma spend time on it Yeah, just walking back top down You gon' have to do more than just say it. You're going to have to do less when you do it. Tell mama you know how.

Tell her I always want you to. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. You don't need to. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Van Jones.

Charlamagne? Now, you said after Donald Trump stated in his union speech, you said his speech was psychotically incoherent with cookies and dog poop. Did you get any backlash from that? Especially being that that's, I guess that's your guy, eh? I mean, Trump's not my guy. I'm trying to throw that on you. I don't know.

I understand. That's your guy. We agree on one issue. Okay. And listen, that was the cookies. The cookies was he said I understand. We agree on one issue. And listen, that was the cookies. The cookies was he said some good stuff on criminal justice.

The dog poop was he was attacking the immigrants. And here's the thing. As black people, we can never get so excited about our one issue

that we throw our brown sisters and brothers under the bus. So I couldn't come out there. Look, there was tears in my eyes when Trump pointed out Miss Alice Johnson.

He pointed out black people who had been formerly incarcerated in the gallery, mentioned for the first time in a presidential speech. He took a lot of credit for that, though. He took a lot of credit for that. Yeah, he took credit. But I'm just saying, in the moment when that was happening, I had tears in my eyes because when he said, welcome home to that brother, I said, I hope America's listening.

We should welcome home our sisters and brothers. Then he turned right around the next, I don't mean the next five minutes. I don't even mean the next one minute. The next second. And then starts attacking all the immigrants like they're committing all the crimes. When the immigrants have a lower crime rate than the rest of us. Undocumented immigrants have a lower crime rate than white people. And he's going to attack them?

And that's why I said, I had all my happy comments. Shhh. Shhh. Tore them up. Threw them away. No. We're not going out like that. And so I said it was cookies, which I wanted to hear, but it was also dog poop. And did I get backlash? Yeah, I got backlash. But, you know, I get backlash because I tell the truth. I say stuff that pisses

off liberals and they jump on me one week. The next week, the Republicans jump on me. I said the election was a white lash against a black president. The Republicans got all mad at me. When I give Trump credit, the liberals get mad at me. But you know what? Our people are not liberals, progressives, Democrats,

Republicans. Our people are oppressed. Okay? And when you have oppressed people, there's only one thing that will set us free and that's the truth. You gotta be willing to tell the truth whether folks like it or not. When Trump is wrong wrong which is 99% of the time i kick his butt but when he's right on our issue i'm gonna give him his credit and we have to be willing to do that otherwise you know we're a part of the problem you know people want to want to get political and calculate based on well is this going to help the democrats is it going to help

black people or is it going to help poor people gonna help brown people to help brown people? Then I'm for it. I'll fight anybody and I'll work with anybody to help our people. The reason I ask is because he's such a petty president and Kanye says, you know, him wearing the hat is what caused Alice Johnson to get out of prison. So I feel like, do you ever feel like you got to kiss ass? Listen, I feel

like I have to give him credit where it's due. That's your shit with anybody. But I think if you look at my record, and I've said it before, there's nobody tougher on Trump when he's wrong. There's nobody, there's no liberal more willing to give him credit when he's right. And that's the basis of our relationship.

And does he like it when I'm on TV saying that stuff? He doesn't like it. Does he make sure that I know he doesn't like it? Yeah, he makes sure. I make sure he knows that if he wants me to say good stuff, do good stuff. If he wants me to stop saying bad stuff, he doesn't like it. He makes sure that I know he doesn't like it. He makes sure he knows that if he wants me to say good stuff, do good stuff. He wants me to stop saying bad stuff, stop doing bad stuff. But I have a relationship. So you all speak?

Yeah, I have a relationship. How often do you all talk? Not very often, but often enough when it matters. The thing is, some people say, I'm so radical, I would never talk to Trump. How do you get to be radical based on what you won't do? When did that become the standard? Like, I've never heard that before.

No, I'm so radical, I will, if it's going to do something to help our people. I want to ask you, man, you know, because you're always talking about everything else. How are you? How is Van Jones? Van Jones okay? I had a rough year last year. Yeah, I remember the story came out that you was getting a divorce. Got divorced. My mother died. Sorry to hear year. Yeah, I remember the story came out that you was getting a divorce. I got divorced.

My mother died. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, God is good. I got a lot of positive things. I had my first TV show. The Van Jones Show is like a real thing on CNN. I have another show coming out this year called Redemption,

an eight-part docuseries on criminal justice on CNN what's your wife was it the fact that y'all grew apart because you know talking about all the things that you do you work so hard that gotta be hard for your spouse you know I wouldn't marry me I'll tell you that

but you know we're still best friends I mean it's crazy like I know you know we've been best friends for 20 years. Um, and you know, she was with me when I was broke, uh, living in a crappy condo with two, two cats, no money, student loans in default and pay my taxes for four years. You know what I mean? To, uh, being a bestselling author and working in the white house, then leaving the white house under fire

and having to start all over again. And so that friendship is so strong. And our parenting is so strong. But, you know, sometimes the fizz just goes out the soda on the romantic part. And so then the question is, do you just burn the whole thing down because that part doesn't work?

Or can you refigure it where you can keep the friendship, keep the parenting, and, you know, move on in other parts of life? That's so hard. But our friendship is so strong, and our kids are so important to us, we had to figure it out. And then, because I'm on TV, immediately it's all over the news. We hadn't even really talked to her parents about it. And so now, you know, it's like, come on, TMZ.

Like, I'm not that dang famous that it's got to be a front page news story. People give you flack for that, too. They're like, oh, my God, Van Jones is married to a white woman. Yeah, listen, people give you flack about all kinds of stuff. But for me, you know, she's a mom of my kids. And she was there when I had nothing and when I lost everything. And so, you know, our relationship is like, you know, you could do some kind of paper bag test on it if you want to. But I hope everybody in their life has somebody like Jan, like ride or die, hardcore, no matter what.

And I'm proud that we've been able to get through it. But last year was tough. And then I'm getting called Uncle Tom and a coon for trying to get black people out of prison. I said, you mean, so you mean the people who are on TV who are not trying to get black people out of prison are good? They're cool. They're cool. But the one dude who's on TV who's trying to get black people out of prison, I'm the coon. That was tough.

Last year was tough. Do you take some time for yourself? I take time for myself on planes. Damn, man. What worries me, eventually everything is going to catch up to you at man. You know, what worries me, eventually everything is going to catch up to you at once.

Mm-hmm. You know? And that could be at a time when we really need you. Well, you know what I mean? Yeah, look, I, I, I,

You worried about yourself? No, no, no, I said we really need you. That's why I said it. That's why you got to take time for yourself. Yeah, look, I, Have you given yourself

time to grieve over your mom? Look, I wish I could step here and lie. You know, my problem is I can never, I can never lie. Well, yes, over your mom? Look, I wish I could step here and lie. You know, my problem is I can never lie. Well, yes, of course, you know. I'm not going to lie. Like, I haven't had a moment from last year. My mom passed away in November.

In December, we had to pass this daggone bill. And then as soon as we passed the bill, then the Reform Alliance had to get launched. So, look, I'm just going to be very honest. Like, there are seasons in your life where things are out of balance, and I'm in that season where it's a lot of work. It's a lot of trying to help. This season can't last forever. I'm going to be in a cemetery somewhere.

So I know that there's got to be another season where I do catch up to myself, but I just feel like right now the door is open for justice. I don't feel like it's time for me to take a vacation. It'd be much better to have a balanced life. But to me, I'm going to tell you the truth, I don't think it's the season for that right now. Maybe this summer.

You know, once the Reform Alliance is up and we pass some bills, I know sometime it's going to be that season. But right now our people have waited too long. Better to be sad when it's cold, man. Don't wait until the summer. Summer, you single now too? You know what I'm saying? Hey, listen, I'm going to be that season, but right now our people have waited too long. Better to be sad when it's cold, man. Don't wait till the summer. You single now too? Hey, listen, I'm going to tell you right now. I wouldn't date me. Don't do it.

It's not a good idea. It's not a good idea. We appreciate you for joining us this morning. Yeah, well, thank you for having me. Where can they go? Reform? ReformAlliance.com ReformAlliance.com. Alright, well, shout out to Van Jones for joining us, and you guys have a great weekend, and shout out to everybody that's coming out to our I will shout to Van Jones for joining us.

We're actually taking a bunch of people just so they can actually see the different stages of purchasing and buying homes. So these are actually the homes that I own or my partner owns or that we own together. So we're going to be getting a bus and just taking you through a couple of houses so you can see beforehand the demolitions, the renovations, finishing the project, and then getting tenants in. So we're going to be taking you to our school that we own, a couple of multi-unit properties. And then I think we'll take you to one of the clubs that we own that we turned into a multi-unit. So if you want more information, you can just hit up my link in my bio and hopefully we'll get to see you there. We're just taking a small peek at people.

You can live there and party there. Hmm? You can live there and party there at the club? No, no, no. Because we're changing it actually to a unit. So there's no more club there. Is there a disco ball? Nah, no disco ball.

All right. There might have been a disco ball, but we probably threw it out. And I just want to shout out to my girl, Koya, from 104.5 The Beat in Orlando. It was her birthday this week.

So I expect it to be even more turnt because we're celebrating my girl Koya's birthday. Happy birthday, Koya. Happy birthday, Koya. Alright, well,

here's my positive note. Now, usually Charlamagne would say, hey, what would Cardi do or what would Rihanna do? But this weekend, if you find yourself in trouble, just think to yourself, what would Jussie Smollett do? Well, here's what I'm gonna say for my positive note. Oh, you're like, mom? Go ahead.

The most dangerous liars are the ones who are convinced that they are telling the truth. Is that positive? Kind of. You kind of, like, negative-ed out, X'd out my Jussie Smollett thing, but that's all right. You guys have a great weekend. Breakfast club, bitches! Y'all finished or y'all done? Ugh.
