It could be four if you wanted to. You start today. I'm starting today. You starting today? Yep. That's what you're doing? Yes, sir. Okay.

All right. Well, if you want to identify as the weekend as today, then I can identify as the weekend as today. There you go. I'm glad you know. I'm glad you know. Today is Thursday, but I identify identify as the weekend as today. There you go. I'm glad you know. I'm glad you know. Today is Thursday, but I identify today as the start of the weekend. I ain't mad at you.

Okay? So I got a four-day weekend. No, let me see. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Would that be five? How long is that? Four. Thursday.

Well, Thursday. You don't count Monday, right? You don't count today. You don't count today. No, I do count today. You count today. That's what I'm saying. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

Monday. Monday is a holiday. I got a five-day weekend? You're not off today. Yes. I'm not off today. He's saying today. I am off today. Stop telling Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Monday. Monday is a holiday. I got a five-day weekend? Yes. I'm not off today. He's saying today. I am off today. Stop telling me what I am, Nick. I told you what I identify as. I identify as off today. All right. He's definitely off.

Definitely off. He's way off. Whatever floats your boat. Well, good morning, guys. How you guys feeling? How was your yesterday? What you do yesterday after the breakfast club? How was your day? How was your night? Did you eat well? Was everything okay? Did you sleep well?

Good morning. You sound very concerned. I'm just asking. I'm just asking. I can't do much. Well, yeah. How was your walk around the backyard? It was fine.

It was fine. Everything's good here. You know, I think COVID is coming to a close soon, hopefully. I know the regulations are confusing, but it says you have to quarantine for five days and then you have to be outside with a mask or whatever for another five days. But I have another at-home test to take today to see what happens.

Feel free to stay home next week. We don't need no chances. I can't wear a mask in there. Goodness, so you're not going away this weekend? Well, we'll see what happens when I take this test. Wow. You know Envy was setting you up the whole time.

He was like, that was all a setup just to see if he had been quarantined. And that's all that was. That whole line of questioning. I'm listening. I'm like, his daddy really is a cop. That's all I was thinking the whole time. You know you done effed up, right? Wow.

Wow. Okay. All right. Well, yesterday my kided up, right? Wow. Wow. Okay. All right. Well, yesterday my kiddies had a baseball and softball game. Probably one of the slowest things. When your kid's just starting to get into sports, sometimes it's just bad, man. Sometimes everything is just all about it. The pitching, the hitting.

It's just a long-ass game. That'd be the longest six innings ever. Yeah, but that's a learning curve, though, especially when you have multiple kids. Because I remember when my daughter first started running track and she did the long jump. It literally was like at practice. It was like the first time she ever did it. She was younger than me.

And I go, that was terrible. She just burst into tears. And I'm like, oh, my wife was like, why did you say that? Why did you say that? Because it was terrible. But that was one of the first moments I realized, like,

you just can't say everything that comes to your mind when it comes to your children. But I mean, not she's terrible, the long jump was terrible,

you know? But then you realize, you realize the power of your words as a parent and how much you can, you know, empower your kids or like,

discourage them with just one slip of the tongue. Yeah. How about yesterday in the middle of the game, right? The middle of the game, bases loaded. My son's playing second base at the time, right? I'm sitting on the side. He walks over to me in the middle of the game like, Dad, I got to go to the bathroom.

I'm like, there's a game going on. How old is he? He's eight. Yeah. That's potty training. You taught him to tell you when he got to go to the bathroom. But this is the middle of the game. His base is low and there's a hitter on.

Well, you didn't explain that to him. That's not how potty training works. In potty training, we never teach baseball. Oh, my goodness. Okay? I was like, well, go around. I said, go behind the tree. He's like, Dad, people are watching.

I'm like, oh, my gosh. You told your child to go behind a tree at a baseball game? He's playing a game. Yes. Wow. He needs to pull up. Okay. At eight? Clearly. Clearly. If his daddy's not going to let him pee during a game. Yes. Wow. He needs to pull up. Okay. At eight?

Clearly. If his daddy not going to let him pee during the game. Jesus Christ. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, let's talk about this executive order that Joe Biden signed yesterday. It has to do with federal police practices.

All right. We'll get into that next. And we got a worldwide exclusive. This is Kanye West. XXX extension. It's called True Love. And we got a worldwide exclusive. This is Kanye West, XXX Extension. It's called True Love. And it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Anjali Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're going to be playing that every hour on the hour. If you just missed it, that was Kanye West, XXX Extension. It's called True Love. Now let's get into some front page news. Now let's start NBA.

Did you see the games last night? I did watch the second half of the Celtics-Miami Heat game. When I watched it, it was like they were only down by like two, but that's not how I finished. No, Celtics beat the Heat last night 93-80. Yeah, I mean, I had the Celtics. I picked the Celtics to win the series, but, I mean, Miami is really banged up right now. It seems like Jimmy Butler's playing through injury.

Kyle Lowry's playing through injury. Tyler Harrell. I don't even know. Did he play? I don't think he played last night either. Did he? He didn't right now. No, he didn't play.

But I still had the Celtics winning the series. Yeah, Butler had 13 last night. Last night, Tatum had 22. Brown had 25. All right. What else we got easy all right well joe biden signed an executive order yesterday that is to improve accountability and policing it was also the second anniversary of george floyd's death and the family was there as well as well as members of the family of brianna taylor now this is just an executive order. And so what

that means is that Congress is still deadlocked on the issue of the Justice and George Floyd Policing Act. With lawmakers unable to reach an agreement on how to reform police policies or to reduce mass shootings, there are limited avenues for advancing these campaign promises that he has, but he is trying to strike a balance between police and also between civil rights groups. There's a lot of rising concerns about crime, and sometimes that can eclipse the cause for reform, but most of this order is focused on federal law enforcement agencies.

So, for example, they are required to review and revise policies on use of force. They'll also create a database to help track officer misconduct. And this cannot require local police departments to participate in that database. So that means that problem officers, you know, say you want to hop from job to job. They're looking for ways to use federal funding to encourage their cooperation. So they can't make the local police departments participate,

but they do want to encourage them to do that. So Joe Biden did talk about it. He said that this will not prevent every tragedy, but we know certain ones will have significant impact and no negative impact on the Second Amendment. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I guess something better than nothing. A lot of folks smarter than me think it's a bunch of, you know, nothing. But it's just like these things aren't impacting us on a federal level. Like it's not the federal police that are out here, you know, committing these crimes. Now, this the FBI, ICE, Secret Service and sustained complaints or records of disciplinary actions for serious misconduct, among other issues.

And that will be available to state and local agencies. So, like I said, local, you know, non-federal entities are not required to do that. Yes, and that kind of defeats the purpose. Because once again, it's not the federal entities that are committing these acts of police brutality that we see on the regular. Now, I don't know if the executive order can't do that. I don't know why it's not for local. We had Charles Blow was on MSNBC yesterday, and he kind of like really, really, really broke it down. I thought, did they get that in? Mm-mm. Yeah.

All right. Well, that is front page news. We'll get more into it next hour. All right? Now, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051.

Call us up. Let us know how your day was, what you want to vent about, anything. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Let's go. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're man or black.

Say it with your chest. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? This is DeAngelo Caracca. I want to give a shout out to Rockford, Illinois. Good morning. Illinois, what up, man?

Get it off your chest, brother. I want to get it off my chest, man. I just want to say a shout out to Rockford, Illinois. Good morning. Illinois, what up, man? Get it off your chest, brother. I want to get it off my chest, man. I just want to say that all these political games and all these things going on and all these mass shootings, stop taking the black father out the hood, out the house, out the understanding, out the community. Stop putting these felons on these young boys, man, where they can't never bear arms to protect our children.

Okay. What are you saying? You're saying felons? I'm confused. Say it again, bro. I'm saying cops just messed up the system so these felonies on these young boys so early and take their rights to bear arms

so that they can have some protection and show that the communities ain't going anymore. Oh, I see what you're saying. I mean, I do think that that has to change a lot, too. I think if you commit a crime that gets you a felony, especially at a young age, there should be a way to change that, to flip that. You know, you can change it because everybody evolves. Everybody changes their lives.

There's things that we all did as teens that we would never do now because we were young, we were dumb, we were stupid. But that doesn't define us, you know? Absolutely. If you don't grow, you're dead. That's right. That is exactly it. If you're not growing, you're dying. Hello, right. That is exactly it. You're not growing, you're dying.

Hello, who's this? Yes, this is OG Nautics coming at y'all from WB Underground Newsroom. And what I got on my mind today is fathers, black fathers, matter of fact, that are not stepping up and doing the right thing for their sons. Our sons are out here dying each and every day and each and every way. And we have a lot of these guys, you know what I'm saying, that have household names that are not stepping up, you understand me, to get some of these kids off the street.

We're dying out here, man. We need some help, and we need some help bad. And we need our fathers to step up, step out, show up, and show up for our sons and our daughters. I love this energy this morning. I do agree with that, too. I love you, and I love what the last caller just said. I mean, yes, we do have to be a village.

It takes a village, right? Absolutely, and I agree. Parents, if you got kids, you got young kids, you got to step up. You got to pull up. You got to make sure your kids are doing the right thing. Like I said, my dad was following me home from the bus at times to make sure I was doing the right thing. He was checking up on me to make sure I was doing the right thing. Every once in a while, I'm sure he was in my room looking around my room to make sure there was nothing in there illegal.

Like, I do the same thing with my kids. You know what I mean? I check up on them. You have to micromanage your kids. Follow them. You know, I got to track all my kids' cars. Like, I make sure they're doing the right thing. As you should. It's not that I don't all my kids' cars. Like, I make sure they're doing the right thing. And it's not that

I don't trust them. It's just I want to make sure they're doing the right thing. I don't trust the world. Okay? I don't trust the world. So, yes, I'm going to micromanage my kids' situation.

Thank you, brother. Hey, one more thing, man. We got to give our queens their props for stepping up, stepping out, showing up and showing up for their sons and their daughters. Always.

And, you know, showing up and showing up for their sons and their daughters. Always. And, you know, our sons and daughters are going to these colleges, these D1 colleges, you know what I'm saying? They gotta start changing their way. They gotta start changing their... SBCU is what we need to do. What's that?

What's that SBCU? Oh, I'm sorry. That's probably not the abbreviations for it, but the black... HBCU. HBCU. Whoa. Whoa.

Whoa. Did you go to one? I didn't go to one either. You sound like me. He didn't go to one. LMFAO. I was like, what? He said SB.

I'm like, small business. He said it with conviction, too. And I'm like, damn, I want my kids to go to one of those. What is that? I said SB, small business. I was like, small business. And he said it with conviction, too. And I'm like, damn, I want my kids to go to one of those. What is that? I said, S-B, small business. I was like, what is that? HBCU.

He meant HBCU. All right. He had the right word. We understand what he meant. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. 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. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. Peace and blessings.

How y'all feeling today? Peace, King. Sean Stone, what up? Hey, this is Sean Stone with Sean Stone TV. Listen, I love the... Angelique, good morning. How you feeling? Morning. Yeah, Charlamagne. Listen, I love the man. Angel E, good morning. How you feeling? Morning.

Yeah, Charlamagne. Peace, King. How you doing, brother? I'm doing good. Envy, good morning. Peace. Hey, listen, man.

I love the way how you guys start off the show with talking about your kids. You know what I mean? Good energy this morning, man.

I just want to say, you know, I'm sorry for all them kids that lost their life yesterday, you know? Man. Man. Man, I don't feel like morning, man. I just want to say I'm sorry for all them kids that lost their life yesterday. Praise God. Man. I don't feel like I just feel like that's just pure evil.

There's no mental health here. It's just evil. You know what I mean? It's just good people and then you got just evil people. That's just evil spirits. You know what I mean? Yeah, I can't wait to talk to my therapist about it this weekend. I've been talking to a lot of individuals because it's been hard for me to chalk up the last two situations to just mental health because it's so premeditated. The body armor, the targeting, you know, knowing exactly who you want to go hit, letting people know beforehand.

You know what I mean? Like, it's like that don't sound like somebody who snapped to me. Nah, it's just pure evil, bro. It's something that you can't physically explain. It's just an evil spirit. You know what I mean? I agree. That's just pure evil, bro. It's something that you can't physically explain. It's just an evil spirit. You know what I mean? I agree. That's just what it is.

But one more thing I just want to say. That new Kanye West song, man, sounds very strong. I like that song. Shout out to Kanye. Keep him doing some good music, yeah? Just hit me up on Instagram, Sean Stone, Sean Stone TV. And one more thing. I got a song.

Can I sing a song real quick? Sure. You want to sing it? Go ahead. Yeah. Monkey Pox, Monkey Pox, where are you? With Trav and his friends. Trav and his friends.

Okay, that's enough. All this positivity, Sean Stone. What's wrong, man? What's wrong with you? What is wrong with you, Sean Stone? Why, Sean Stone? You can't be mad at Sean. Because Travis said that Sean Stone was the one that brought Monkeypox over here.

That's right. But when Trav called up here with a freestyle on your ass, okay, and give you PTSD again from last time. I ain't worried about Trav freestyle. I'm ready to go. You want a rematch. Just say you want a rematch, Trav, if you want a rematch. I'm ready to go.

I'm ready to go. Okay, okay. All right. I ain't gonna lie to you. Let's do it. Trav been poking your forehead, so I ain't mad at you. Hey, hey. Come on.

I don't go that way. I'm talking about his finger, man. His finger. Whoa. Whoa. Come on, man. Whoa. Whoa.

Hey, sign that gay bill. Whoa. What the hell is going on? What is going on this morning? He's talking about so much positivity. Man. Oh, my God. People are so crazy.

Get it over your chest. 800-585-1051. What is wrong with our listeners? We got rumors on the way? Oh, Lord. Yes. Let's talk about the time that Snoop Dogg turned down $2 million. All right. We'll get into that next.

Hey, guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.

This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

Well, Snoop Dogg was talking about one time. Imagine this, turning down a $2 million offer to DJ and not just to DJ, but to DJ at a Michael Jordan event. Here's what he had to say. One of the craziest deals I turned down, it was like $2 million to DJ for, I think it was a Michael Jordan event. And I turned it down and I never met Michael Jordan. You still never met Michael? And I want to meet him. if you don't let me ask you why would you turn that down because I was doing some shit I do and I had way more customers before I get to you no but I never met Michael Jordan not I want to meet him and I want to meet him on a different I don't want to meet him on no I'm not there DJ and I want to like medium as a boss as a fan as a boss is like Mike I love you since North Carolina

She has been honored as the first ever transgender Barbie. She said, I can't wait for our fans to find my doll on shelves and have the opportunity to add a Barbie doll modeled

after a transgender person to their collection. She told people the experience was surreal. She said, I can't believe it. I love her outfit. It's a beautiful outfit. And she also cited recent anti-trans legislation and discrimination against trans children. And that helped her share her pride that Barbie can show kids that there's hope and possibility for them to be themselves. So they are actually going to be also donating to the charity Trans Family SOS in Laverne Cox's name as well.

She was very involved in the whole process of creating her very own doll. And this all launches ahead of her upcoming 50th birthday. Her birthday is on May 29th. So congratulations to her. All right. Now the Martin reunion special has gotten a premiere date and that date is going to be, um, June 16th. That's going to be on BET+. That's going to reunite the cast of Martin. And they said it's a 90-minute special with the original cast members, Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, Tatiana Arnold, Carl Anthony Payne II.

It'll be reminiscing about the series, the impact that it had on the culture. And it will also be hosted by Afion Crockett. It's also reportedly going to take place on the iconic Martin Living Room set. Oh, that's dope. So Martin and Tisha Camberley, they squashed out their beef there, right? Yeah, they're going to be there. Okay, cool.

Dope. They're going to be there. All right. Now, Brittany Griner's wife, Sherelle Griner, has broken her silence on Brittany Griner's detainment in Russia. She was speaking with Angela Ryan. Here's what she had to say. Is she being used as a political pawn?

Yes. Yes. If it was LeBron or KD or Steph Curry, do you think that you would be sitting here today? You know, respectfully and no shade to them when I say this, but the answer to that question would be no. I wonder though. Wonder what? Ryan, if you're Russia

and you have a LeBron or a Curry. You're going to hold them until you get the best deal. You're going to absolutely, positively hold them until you get the best deal. You're going to get everything you want. I'm not letting them go at all. I'm best deal. Especially with all the sanctions and everything. A hundred percent. I'm not letting them go at all.

I'm going to keep them until I get them sanctions gone. A hundred percent. My negotiation skills are up, but I wouldn't let them go. But I think what they're saying in that conversation right there is that America would be negotiating already. You know what I mean? There would be a lot of different things on the table. There would be a lot more discussions happening. They would be actively trying to get them home.

I agree. That's what they're saying. All right, also on NBA Countdown, Sherelle Griner discussed wanting to have a conversation with Joe Biden as well. Have you spoken to the president? I have not. Not met with him? No. If you had the opportunity, Sherelle, today to say something to President Biden, what would you say?

If he is a person that can get my person back, I would love to meet him. You know, I have requested a meeting with him. And so I hope he accepts in the near future, you know, to meet with me because I want my person back. You know, I feel every second that BG's not here. Okay. I need a second. It's okay. Take your time.

I wonder how involved a spouse is when something like that happens. What do you mean? Because, I mean, I'm sure the country has to negotiate, right? But how involved? Do they tell you everything? Do they not tell you? I'm sure she's on the lawyer's ass every day. I'm sure she's on whoever she needs to be talking to's ass every day about getting Brittany.

Because I was just wondering, like, how involved do they allow the spouse to be? Because, you know, at the end of the day, they want to keep everything quiet. They're trying to, you know, make a deal. I just wonder how involved she can be, you know? I know one thing. That'd be a great PR move for Biden right now. Approval ratings in the toilet. You know, midterms around the corner.

You can't get any legislation done, you know. Did some executive orders yesterday. That was a cool, you know, PR move as well. But, you know, this would be something. I agree. And I know she's been, Sherelle Griner has been speaking to Brittany Griner. She also was on Good Morning America with Robin Roberts, and she talked about how she first found out through Brittany.

She said she started texting her around 2 a.m. and saying, babe, wake up. They have me in this room. I don't know what's going on. You know how horrifying it must be to get a text message like that? That's crazy. Especially when you're loving out of the country.

All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Yeah, because when you're out the country, no matter what country you're at, you feel like there's nothing you can do. You feel like there is no right. You got to play by their rules. And it's very, very scary. I was coming back from, what was I this week, in Africa.

And my manager lost his passport. And they wouldn't let him come back in. It was like, well, we can't do nothing with it. You got to prove that you're American. And luckily, he found it. But I was nervous for him. How do you prove that you're American when you don't have him come back in. It was like, well, we can't do nothing with you. You got to prove that you're American. And luckily he found it. But I was nervous for him. How do you prove that you're American when you don't have a passport? Exactly.

What do you do? Exactly. What do you do in that situation? Talk about you. Well, you know what happened to me one time in DR? They thought I was Dominican. You are. I'm not.

But they thought I was Dominican for real. And they would not let me back in the country. You are. Even with a passport. You are. They were talking to me in Spanish. They. You are. Even with a passport. You are. They were talking to me in Spanish. They put me in the side room. I was scared.

I told you you got dual citizenship. You are Dominican. No, but I was scared as is. There's nothing wrong with that. They tried to keep you home, bro. They would not let me leave. I'm serious. I was nervous.

They put me in the side room. They wanted to keep you there. They were like, yo, if you and your whole family come there, the population will increase. We need you. They kept talking to me in Spanish, and I was like, no, no, no, no Espanol. I was nothing wow you just lied you know what forget i didn't lie i'm black you know what we got front page news next year what we're talking about okay yes and let's give you some updates on uh uvalde and

The last night, NBA to Celtics beat the Heat 93-80. What else we got, Yeezy? We are going to talk about the awful massacre at Robb Elementary School.

We'll give you some of the details that we know about what happened on Tuesday with the 18-year-old gunman, Salvador Ramos, who was from Uvalde. Now, he had been identified by officials and had shared his plans on Facebook about 30 minutes before reaching the school. They said he shot his grandmother in the face before heading to the school. The 66-year-old grandmother made it to a nearby home.

That's where she called police. And she does still remain hospitalized in critical condition. Now, minutes before the deadly assault at the school, he allegedly sent text messages to a girl in Germany that he met online. He said he had just shot his grandmother and he was going to shoot up an elementary school. They do have screenshots that were reviewed by CNN

and they also interviewed the teenage girl. They said he complained about his grandmother being on the phone with AT&T and that he then said he shot his grandmother in the head. He then drove his grandmother's vehicle about a block and a half away from the school. He crashed at that point and he exited with a backpack with a rifle and went to the west side of the campus.

They said a school resource officer engaged with Ramos and no gunfire was exchanged. He then entered the school through a back door, went down the hallway to the adjoining classrooms, and they said that officers approached him and engaged with him. He entered a back door and then went down two short hallways and then into a classroom on the left-hand side. Now, they said it took about 30 minutes, they said,

after he arrived on the scene for the gunman inside the school to be neutralized by law enforcement. He had one rifle in his possession when he went into the school and he was wearing a tactical vest carrier with no ballistic panels. According to officials, he did legally purchase two AR platform rifles at a local sporting goods store on two separate dates and also 375 rounds of ammunition on another date. And they said that the gun purchases were made for his 18th birthday. All right, so that's the information we have. This is really impacting how I parent.

I don't know how other parents out there feel, but I'm really, really, really thinking about homeschooling my kids. But, you know, even that's difficult because I saw how during COVID, you know, how stressful homeschooling my kids. But, you know, even that's difficult because I saw how during COVID, you know, how stressful homeschooling is. And, you know, my oldest daughter, she's a teenager, so she's at that age where she wants to go out and socialize with her friends in the mall and other places. And my mindset right now is, hell no.

Now, mind you, I already suffer from parental paranoia, which I call the anxiety that just comes with being a parent. But, boy, that anxiety is so heightened right now. And I know, I know that I'm i'm you know not doing right by my kids by doing that well i will say this and this is i can't say this is lucky but i got kind of lucky because the last two three years we've been down we've it's been pandemic so the kids haven't been going out so i've been feeling a lot safer but oh so like the light so yeah because your daughter's what 18 my daughter's 20 20 so 19 17 she's pretty much been locked down and my son was 18 18 17 16 it's pretty much been locked in the house so they missed that element which

is sad but it's kind of making me more comfortable you know I mean and it's gonna get to the point when they want to go out we all go now but our comfortability as parents isn't good for them because they still have to go out there and socialize around their friends and be around their peers. So I know I'm not doing right by my kids right now. But God, man. But you want your kids

to be safe. Yeah, I just don't know how I get rid of that parental paranoia, especially with this situation. Oh, we all go to the mall. You go to the mall with your friends

and I'll just be hanging around. I don't go to the mall. I'm going to the mall. I'm hanging around. I'm watching you. You want to go to the food court? You want to go to Arcade? I'll be over here.

How about we not go? We got the mall at home. We don't, but you know. No, they want to hang with their. You want to go to the food court? You want to go to Arcade? I'll be over here. How about we not go? We got them all at home. We don't, but, you know. No, they want to hang with their friends. We got them all at home. We got them all at home. Remember when we was young? We got McDonald's at home.

We got McDonald's at home. White bread with a burger. Ham and cheese. Cheese ain't even melted. All right, and there are also two Texas funeral homes who are offering free services for Uvalde school shooting victims. So for those families, Hillcrest Memorial Funeral Home and

Rushing Estes Knowles Mortuary made the announcement to help the families after the shooting. Wow, that's a drop on a coup de ban for them. That's big, though. See, I respect that. That's when people are being humans, you know what I mean? And stepping up and understanding that, you know, humans

need help at a time like this. We're still going to have to help more. And the reason I say that is funerals are expensive. And the fact that they take care of the services is great. But that's usually allowing them to use the home and probably a preacher speaking. But you still got to pay for the casket and actually burying them in the ground. So I'm sure they're still going to need some help financially. And I don't know.

I haven't seen any GoFundMes. But I would definitely love to send some money to help those families. That is very expensive. We'll find out and do some research on that. And yes, the NRA, the National Rifle Association, also released a statement. They said, Our deepest sympathies are with the families and victims involved in this horrific and evil crime. On behalf of our members, we salute the courage of school officials,

first responders, and others who offered their support and services. Although an investigation is underway and facts are still emerging, we recognize this was the act of a lone deranged criminal. As we gather in Houston, because you know they do have their meeting, actually I think it is tomorrow,

we will reflect on these events, pray for the victims, recognize our patriotic members, and pledge to redouble our commitment to making our schools secure. Alright, well that is your front page news. I would love to talk to the other parents this morning.

Am I alone with this parental paranoia? You know what I mean? In my last book, when I talk about parental paranoia, which is the anxiety that comes with being a parent. So I just wonder, when you see things like the Rob Elementary shooting,

does that impact how you parent? Meaning... It has to. Keeping your kids from doing things that I know they would want to do, whether it's a field trip, whether it's going to the mall, or even just going to the park.

Your little kid's going to the park. But you know, it doesn't even start there. A lot of people, a lot of parents just have that beforehand. Like, you know, let's open up the phone lines. We'll talk about it. Like my wife, you know, my wife has never went on a field trip as a kid because her parents wouldn't let her go. So when all the kids went on a field trip, she was stuck in school. She would be the only kid, like a couple kids stuck in school.

My daughter got a field trip coming up and I'm like, I told her two days ago, like, I don't know. We might have to cancel this. Well, what we do is if we can't go, you can't go. Oh, I was going anyway. Oh, all right. But still, we don't need to be there. Neither none of us. That's how I feel right now.

All right, well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. All the parents out there. Is this impacting how you parent? I know we all suffer from parental paranoia anyway, just the anxiety that comes with being a parent, but is this making it heightened? Alright, 800-585-1051.

can't even remember. Tuesday, you know, the shooting at, you know, Rob Elementary School. I know for a fact it's really impacting how I parent. You know, I'm thinking about, you know, pulling my daughter from her field trip that she got coming up. And, you know, my daughter, my oldest daughter is a teenager now. So she wants to do things like, you know, go to the mall and, you know, hang out with her friends in public places. I'm talking about even just hanging out in front of the ice cream parlor, you know. Right.

You know, your younger kids, they want to go to the park. And I'm like, no, we got park at home. You know what I mean? We got mall at home. You know, we got field trip at home, even though we have none of this stuff at home. You know what I mean? But I just, I don't know. I just want to talk to other parents this morning because I just, I know I can't be alone with this.

And I feel bad because you want your child to have those experiences. You want your child to have those experiences with their friends. You want them to have a childhood, basically. And I know you can't protect your kids from everything in the world. But damn it if I won't try. And I know what makes me comfortable as a parent is taking away from experiences that she'll never get again. And so it's like, just emotionally, it just makes me feel bad. I will say this.

With having so many kids, you get a couple of do-overs, right? With my 20-year-old and my 18-year-old, I was very, very protective over them. I didn't let them go out. They weren't allowed to do some of the things that their friends are able to do, whether it was go to the park or go to the mall without me and my wife being there

or a family member being there. And I realized when they got a little older, they didn't have as many friends because it was I didn't allow them to go out as much. But now with the younger kids, I'm starting to let them go out more. But I'm going out with them. That's so not fair for older kids. It's not.

But you see how it affects them. Absolutely. And as a kid, I went out. I was at the park. I was playing with my friends. I have so many different friends from different blocks and different areas because I went out. My kids don't have that because I was so protective of them because I didn't want to see them get hurt. What you just said is what makes me feel bad because I know I have friends who were the older child who didn't get to do a lot of the things that the parents let the younger kids do you know and it's just like it's not my fault the circumstances of the world are the way that they

are right now so it makes me feel bad that i'm not letting my oldest daughter do certain things but then it's like man i gotta i gotta protect my family you do all right but just think about like this at what age were you allowed to travel and not travelers flying because we couldn't afford it back in the day but drive to another, to anything, to go to another city. My circumstances were a little different. My father was dealing with substance abuse, and he was wilder. You know what I mean? So I didn't have much parental supervision.

I was a bad kid. But put it like this. My daughter right now, she's a junior at NYU. She has never traveled anywhere without me, never gone anywhere. You know how kids go to spring break, they go to Atlanta, they go see their friends? Never. Well, see, I used to lie about stuff like that.

To your point, I lied and went, I left and went to Black Biker weekend and Myrtle Beach one weekend when I was in high school and didn't even tell my parents. I just went, had $5 in my pocket, and I just left. Yes, I just had $5 in my pocket, and I went with three of my homeboys.

I was just missing for the weekend. And guess what? What? Nobody went looking for me because they knew that little badass boy is at Black Biker Weekend in Myrtle Beach. He'll be back, and I'm going to beat his ass when he get home, guys. Goodness gracious. I think we should talk to your parents.

Geez, they didn't really love you. We were talking about Yee's parents not taking her to Disney, but geez. No, my parents loved me. I was going to ask also Yee. Now, I know you got a bunch of God kids, Ye, and you watch your God kids. Does this make you feel any way when you got your kids? I mean, I think it's way different than being a parent, but I had a lot of freedom when I was growing up.

So, you know, I look at it a little differently. That's all. My parents definitely let me do what I needed to do and be responsible. You can't control what anybody else does, but you also don't want to be scared to live your life and deprive your kids of, you know, having a good time and being a kid. Absolutely. Hello, who's this?

Hey, good morning. It's Nicole. Hey, Nicole, you got kids? I do. I have a four-year-old. And how does this, you know, with everything that's going on, how does that make you feel as a parent? So, I actually have double paranoia because I have a four-year-old, but I also work in a school in the Bronx. Oh, wow. So it does give me.

It should be triple with the Bronx. Yeah, well, so that's my point is that you have so many things to worry about that I just kind of try not to live in fear because I can't go to a grocery store or movie theater. Realistically, you can't keep your kids in the house. So just trying to push through that and understand and teach them different things. What you just said. We still have to go out in the world. What you said about not living in fears is it messes with me on a spiritual level, too, because we know we're supposed to walk by faith. Right. Like we're supposed to believe in a higher power. But in my mind, I feel like, you know,

God is the one telling me like, hey, shut all of this down. You know, nope, let her stay home. And it's confusing. Like it's confusing. Cause I know it's just confusing. It is. Thank you, mama. I used to hate when my mom used to be like,

I have a feeling you shouldn't go out. I just got a bad feeling. And I used to be like, oh my God, now I can't go out cause you had a feeling. I be a feeling you shouldn't go out. I just got a bad feeling. And I used to be like, oh my God, now I can't go out because you had a feeling? I be trusting them feelings from the elders though. When a black woman tell you,

you might need to sit your ass down, you probably need to sit your ass down. If I think about all the times my grandma or mama said that to me and I still went out and I wonder why I got so much trouble when I was younger,

I should have listened. I don't play about that. Her way of saying no was, ask your father. That's what my wife does, too. She'd be like, ask your dad. They know my answer's going to be no. You want to go where? How long?

How far is that? Lord have mercy. No, we're not doing it. We got more calls? Yeah. No, we'll take some more when we come back. 800-585-1051. We're asking all the parents out there, you know, with everything going on.

Is this impacting how you parent, man? Is your parental paranoia the anxiety that comes with being a parent through the roof right now? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it now. I know I'm in. I know I'm in. I know I'm in. I know I'm in. That kid don't even deal with that.

Call me. And your opinions of The Breakfast Club topic. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about to all the parents out there, you know,

with everything going on in this world, the mass shootings. I seen a second grader. They found a gun in his desk yesterday. With everything going on, does this affect the way that you parent? Because, I mean, listen, we all already suffer from parental paranoia. I wrote a whole chapter about this in my last book, Shook One. And when you see these situations, like what happened at Robb Elementary School, it brings back all the memories of, you know, Sandy Hook and anything.

And it's not even just Robb Elementary. It's like what happened at the grocery store. It's what happened at the grocery store in Buffalo, the church in California. Like these things are happening so much now. And I feel bad because you want your child to have these experiences. You don't want to deprive them of just, you know, living their life. But then you want to protect them as well. And you feel like protecting them is keeping them at home.

Like don't go anywhere unnecessary. Correct. That's how I be feeling. All right. Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello. Who's this? DJ Envy. This is Christy. What's up? What's how I be feeling. All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? DJ Envy, this is Christy. What's up?

What's up, bro? You got kids, bro? Yeah, man, I got a daughter. She's nine years old. First off, yee, Morris Chestnut was good, man. Peace, King. Thank you for acknowledging. Who's that?

Thank you for acknowledging my attractiveness. No problem, man. Yeah, man, yo, first off, it's a tragedy. It's time, you know, a parent has to take care of their kids, man. Yeah, man. First off, it's a tragedy. Every time, you know, a parent has to take care of their kids. That's a fact. You know, it's horrible.

But I got a nine-year-old who's a parent. Parenting is a good thing, man. You know, I'm with you when it comes to keeping your kids at home, when it comes to homeschooling. But, you know, socially,

they're going to be growing up awkward. That's how I feel, you know. They're not going to be able to have a proper conversation with socially, they're going to be growing up awkward. That's how I feel, you know. They're not going to be able to have a proper conversation with people. They're going to be sexual, but I don't feel like they'll have what they need to be a part of society. Hey, listen, I agree with you, and that's what makes it

so difficult. But, you know, man, especially when you got girls, you see all this stuff about human trafficking and all of this other stuff. So it's not even just the things like the violence, the shootings. You know, you hear those stories about the girls getting kidnapped at Dallas Mavericks games.

You're like, man, what the hell? But not only that, bullying is so much going on. And I don't think there's nobody for these kids to talk to. There's nobody to protect these kids. So I feel like as a parent, you've got to be there a majority of the time to protect them. Hello, who's this? I just want to say, kids are getting a lot of trouble at home, too, just to put that out there.

Hello? Nah, not like the outside world. My kids don't get that much trouble. Nah, but I monitor my kids. I can control them. I know what my kids are online doing. I ain't worried about no homeschool shooting. There ain't no homeschool shooting happening.

Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Cherie from Indianapolis. Hey, Cherie. You got kids, Cherie? I do. I have a 10-year-old, and he has autism. So this topic, I have to call you guys because I'm a registered nurse, and I get up every day, and I talk about mental health awareness

because this is Mental Health Awareness Month. And I think we need to focus more on that. And thank you, Charlamagne, for all the work that you are doing with mental health. Thank you, Queen. Thank you. And thank you guys, Angela Yee and DJ Envy, because you do a lot for the community. But anyway, I just wanted to say that we have to start talking more about mental health because this is where these types of episodes are coming from.

We're not focusing enough on mental health awareness. I agree with you because there's a lot of people hurting people. That's why I always say we rely on each other as humans to protect each other every day just based on our behavior, man. So I agree with you. Hello, who's this?

Anessa. Hey, Anessa. You got kids, Anessa? Yes, I have two girls, two daughters. What's your thoughts, man? I know parenting got to be crazy right now. Yeah, the parental anxiety Anessa Hey Anessa You got kids Anessa? Yes I have two girls Two daughters What's your thoughts man? I know parenting Gotta be crazy right now Yeah the parental anxiety I have when I go out

Anywhere with my kids Even when I'm not with them But when we go to restaurants I'm sitting making sure That I'm facing doors We go to grocery stores I'm thinking about What's our exit plan

If something happens It's just It's outrageous Man Yeah See what I'm saying? I'll be honest though This makes me feel better about what's our exit plan if something happens. It's just outrageous. Man. Yeah. See what I'm saying? I'll be honest, though.

This makes me feel better because I know I'm not alone. Even though I know parental paranoia is real, and it's got to be heightened right now for everybody. All right. Well, all right. We got rumors on the way, E. And by the way, there is no moral to this story. After I go to therapy tomorrow and talk to my therapist about this, maybe I'll have something for y'all next week.

But, you know, parental paranoia is real because my therapist always tells me in regards to any anxiety, think about all the times you thought something was going to go wrong, but it didn't. It's very hard not – it's very hard to feel like that now. I can't just say, well, you know, yeah, she's right. All the times I thought about something going wrong, it didn't go wrong. But, man, when you see all these things going wrong and all of these places that we frequent on the regular,

from grocery stores to schools, it's like, come on, bro. Yeah, but you know what, too? And this is, I know we're rapping. I don't just have it for myself. I have it for other people's kids, too. Absolutely. Like, yesterday, I seen this young parent. He was playing, not even a young parent, like an older brother.

He was walking his kid. And I told him, look, you should be on the other side or the sidewalk. Like, you walk closer to the street. Your kid shouldn't be walking closer to the street. Your baby brother should walk closer to the street. Even when I'm in the airport. That's right. And I see a parent talking on the phone and not watching their kid.

And their kid's about to hit their head. And I know I should mind my own business, but I don't want to see no child hurt. Or no child grabbed. And when you hear stories like, oh, the 15-year-old girl got kidnapped from the Dallas Mavericks game. When you hear the young girl got shot in the Bronx. If you're a parent,

you automatically see your child in that situation. Absolutely. So that's what you're doing. You're looking and you're like, yo, damn, I want him to protect his child the way I would protect mine. And that's how we should always be. That's how you protect.

That's how a village protects each other. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes, we'll be talking about Nori. He has some issues, and that is with the hip-hop culture and who they are putting first. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. Well, Nori was on Twitter and he had some things he wanted to get off his chest. He said,

I have been the best of this culture. I've always put hip hop first and I see you guys go to Ellen and David Letterman's and Zane Lowe and treat them

with more respect than the culture but you say you want black excellence. I'm going to be honest, even going to Oprah or Gail is trash at this point. We control our culture. Why go outside of it?

David Letterman is my favorite, but man, why go there or Ellen before a million dollars worth of game or Joe or the champs or even Twitter-ish? That was Nori, I guess, weighing in. I don't know what prompted this for him, but some people thought it was Cardi B on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.

I'm sure he's going to text us momentarily and let us know. Now, I do agree with Nori when it comes to that, when I see that for a lot of artists. I know people were speculating that it was Cardi. And I would say one thing about Cardi. Cardi does a lot of the things that a lot of artists won't do. Oh, absolutely. She goes to a lot of those places. So I doubt he was talking to Cardi. Maybe lot of the things that a lot of artists won't do. Oh, absolutely. She goes to a lot of those places.

So I doubt he was talking to Cardi. Maybe he didn't know. But Cardi does interviews with everybody. She still touches the club. She still goes out and goes to black-owned restaurants. She still supports a lot of the DJs that helped her out. Absolutely. That came up on her.

So I know Cardi still does that. So maybe he had misinformation when he was talking about Cardi. No, listen, I don't know. I do feel like that know Cardi still does that. So maybe he had misinformation when he was talking about Cardi. No, listen, I don't know. I do feel like that. Cardi even did lip service on her own free will. Yes, but let's be clear. I don't know if Nori was talking about Cardi,

so I'm not going to. Yeah, we don't know that. That's why he said speculating. Yeah, but when I seen it in some of the blogs, they said he was. But I know for a fact, she does a lot of the stuff that most artists would never do.

But I do feel like what artists blow up, they don't go to a lot of the places that help them get there. And they start doing, you know, the crossover things. And I think that's why when we say artists, who are we talking about? Musicians, anybody that that we helped on the way up. Like who? Like who? Like in particular? I don't know why y'all doing this. Why y'all talking in artists?

I agree with... I'm not. That's what I'm saying. I don't see... I do see a lot of people going on Million Dollars Worth a Game, and I do see people going on Drink Champs. That's why I'm asking.

Oh, okay. Who do we think doesn't do that? Well, I will say I agree with Nori on the treating the other outlets with more respect part, because the publicists and label will come to black outlets and say, don't ask this, don't ask that. But when they sit with the other outlets with more respect part because the publicists and label will come to black outlets and say, don't ask this, don't ask that.

But when they sit with the white outlets, they will say, we are open to discussing anything. Correct. So that, to me, is where the respect is because you're giving these white outlets the sound bites that go viral and you make those persons' platforms bigger. But it's just as far as like, you know,

doing Million Dollars Worth a Game or Drink Champs or, you know, whoever, or Letterman or or gala oprah you should do it all you know i'm thinking i'm thinking about biggest artists that we have in hip-hop whether it's hove or it's j cole or or whoever you love or hove does nothing hove open here that was the last thing hove did rap radar yeah but hove's done rap radar hove has been here he's yeah, absolutely. He's been on them. Hov has done, you know, but he's also done Dave Letterman. The goal is to reach as many people as possible and the goal is to gain as much new audience. So you should do

it all. If you have the type of stature where you can do a Letterman and then turn around and do it, Drink Champs, do it. The only person I haven't seen do interviews is Drake, but he doesn't do it across the board. Drake has his own station. He has his own station. But I haven't seen him interviews as Drake, but he doesn't do it across the board. Jake has his own station. He has his own station.

That's right. But I haven't seen him do it across the board. If you have the stature to do them all, do them all. And not too many people have that stature. Not too many people have the stature to be able to go do Letterman and then have the option to come do, you know, Drink Champs or Rap Radar or Million Dollar Club for Game. I agree.

All right. Now, Dave Chappelle, by the way, and Blackstar, Mos Def and Taleb Kweli, and Donnell Rawlings are all going to be on the next Dirk Champs. Make sure you watch that and listen to it on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network. That's going to be good. He's getting that first Dave Chappelle interview

after everything that happened. So, you know, that's a blessing. Drop one of the koozie bombs for N.O.I.E. And by the way, Dave Chappelle is one of those people I'm talking about. He has the stature to do the Letterman and then turn around and do Drink Champs. He's done Oprah.

He's done Oprah. He's had Dave Letterman in Yellow Springs, Ohio. That's what I'm saying. Dave has also done The Breakfast Club and he does everything. That's what I'm saying. I like how you keep slipping Breakfast Club in there. I like that. That's a shot. I like that. All right. Now, Brandi has responded to Jack Harlow. She did a freestyle over first class.

Brandi did the Breakfast Club. And. Yeah. So did Jack Harlow. So did Jack Harlow. Don't put that out there. Now, this all started because Jack Harlow was surprised to find out that Brandi and Ray J are siblings. And so.

Ray J definitely did the Breakfast Club. A couple of times. Yeah. Taking shots at Jack Harlow was surprised to find out that Brandi and Ray J are siblings. And so Brandi's been taking shots at Jack Harlow. You know, this is all very playful. So here's her freestyle.

Charlemagne, say the gang, don't get out of shape, man. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heat. Yes, the Breakfast Club, bitch. Who's Donkey of the Day today?

Well, Donkey of the Day for Thursday, May 26th calls the Nancy Crampton Broughy. Who is Nancy Crampton Broughy. Who is Nancy Crampton Broughy? Well, she is 71 years old and was just found guilty of second degree murder. Now, what did Nancy do? Well, for the past five weeks, she was on trial facing charges that she murdered her husband in cold blood. A jury, a 12 person jury, after 26 days in court, came to a unanimous decision to lock her ass up for second-degree murder. Let's go to KGW News 8 for the report, please. Count one murder in the second degree guilty. After about 24 hours of deliberation, a jury found Nancy Crampton Brophy guilty of killing her husband, Daniel.

The murder happened nearly four years ago in June of 2018. The state said Crampton Brophy lied about where she was the morning of the murder. Her van was caught on surveillance in the area of the Oregon Culinary Institute in southwest Portland around the time of the murder. Prosecutors say the motive was money, insurance money Nancy would receive upon her husband's death. During the trial, Nancy told jurors she did not kill her husband. The verdict comes almost four years to the day of Daniel Brophy's death. Hey, you commit the crime, you gotta do the time. That's not why we are here today.

We are here to discuss art reflecting life. Our life reflecting art. All right. There's all these conversations happening in the media right now about rappers lyrics being used against them in court. My thoughts on that are simple. Number one,

I don't want people committing crimes, period. Okay. I know folks do what they have to do to survive, but my number one priority will always be to provide the opportunities and resources to people who need it so they don't have to go out

and commit crimes. This is why I push investing in your mental wealth so much because i want folks to go to therapy so they can get the healing they need so they don't show up in this world hurting in pain because hurt people hurt people folks in pain project that pain on the others and they just walk around bleeding on folks who didn't cut them so when it comes to you know drug dealing drug using violence i would rather y'all not partake in any of those activities but i understand how you get there okay but i would rather you not do it which leads me to number two if you are going to do it if you can't avoid it for whatever reason if you have done it

are still doing it and you are in the process of changing your life through art by art i mean rap and hip-hop please i'm begging you don't put it in your music okay one of the worst things we told our culture and i'm guilty of it too i am absolutely guilty of it one of the worst things we told our culture is that we want our rappers to be real okay that we want our rappers to live what it is they're rapping about i apologize for ever saying these things i apologize for ever putting that in the universe because telling folks to keep it real, and by real, what we meant was criminal,

was some of the worst advice we fed our culture because what happened was all the rappers who were just doing it for entertainment, who we used to clown and call CB4, they waited until they got rich and successful to become gangbangers. And they started doing some of the things that they once lied about. OK, but then you had the dudes in the street who was really living that life, who was really bad about it, said to

themselves, oh, we can talk about what we really doing. And since we really doing it, we we're going to be the stars. Right. We're going to get rich and famous now. Oh, well, let me go in here and indict my whole hood to a beat. Okay, that's essentially what happened. All right, all the street dudes who were still in the street started rapping about their day-to-day activities. Not just rapping about them, doing interviews about them. Okay, I mean, straight up giving law enforcement and prosecutors everything they needed to build a case,

connecting all the dots for them. All right, you know how many law enforcement officials probably got bonuses cracking these cases by simply subscribing to some of y'all YouTube pages. So the issue to me isn't whether or not your lyrics should be used in court. OK, because what confession recorded visual or audio wouldn't a good prosecutor use in court? Duh. The issue is that y'all got the audacity, the unmitigated gall to rap about these things in the first place. But I'm here to tell you today, this isn't just a rap thing.

This isn't just a, you know, hip hop street black thing. Okay, today, Nancy Crampton Brophy is getting donkier today because she was found guilty of murdering her husband. See, Nancy must've wanted to live her art. What are you talking about, Uncle Sharla? Nancy wanted to live her art. Well, let's go to Inside Edition for the report, please.

Is this gray-haired romance novelist a grieving widow or a calculated murderer? Nancy Brophy is author of such steamy romance books as The Wrong Husband and The Wrong Lover and also an article titled, get this, How to Murder Your Husband. Now she's accused of doing just that, gunning down her husband of 26 years. Nancy shot him first in the back. In the 2011 How to Murder Your Husband article, Nancy Brophy writes, a spouse who commits meriticide

will almost certainly become a prime suspect. To get off, the wife must be organized, ruthless, and very clever. Seven years later, her husband winds up brutally murdered inside the kitchen of a Portland, Oregon culinary institute where he taught cooking. Now, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, nor am I the strongest avenger, but if you write a book called How to Murder Your Husband, a book that details how to not only kill your husband but how to get away with it then you probably should like never kill your husband uh the caucasity of this woman to write divorce is expensive and if you're married for money aren't you entitled to all of it but to carry out a successful murder would require you to be

organized ruthless and very clever because the police aren't stupid they are looking at you first nancy you should have took your own advice, okay? Not only did Nancy play the role of grieving widow, she went to the police and asked for a letter to say she wasn't a suspect so she could get her life insurance money. Not only did she write this How to Murder Your Husband book,

but research she conducted on her own computer about how to buy and assemble an untraceable ghost gun. And she lied and said she was nowhere near the crime scene. But surveillance footage showed Nancy driving to and from the crime scene during the exact window. Her husband had been shot, which contradicted the author's claims that she'd been at home in bed the whole time. Now, very important to note, the judge allegedly, well, the judge said he didn't let the jury read this book, even though I'm sure some of the jury did anyway. But the judge said he didn't let the jury read this book. The judge didn't let this book be used in court. So with that said, how come some of these rappers art is being used in court?

If I rapped about some things in my past and then in the future, I got caught up. If I'm not detailing specifics, if it's just art, if it's just entertainment, if it's just generalizations, why are these things being used in court against the rappers? Huh? Huh? Everybody, here's the thing, though. Just please start lying again. Alright? We don't need you to live your art. Okay, rappers, authors, stop. Alright? Stop. This stuff can and will be used against you in a court of law.

We see this. And some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please give Nancy Crampton Brophy the biggest E.R. Now, let me ask you, Envy, essentially. Yes. Why do you think this woman who wrote this book, How to Murder Your Husband, right? Why do you think the judge didn't allow her book to be read by the jury, but allows rappers' old lyrics to be used against them?

Why do you think that is? Guess what? Racist. I would have to go white. Okay. Okay. What about you? What do you think?

She's white. Okay. Just wondering. Just wondering what y'all thought. Is she? Yeah, she is. Very Caucasian. Like, could, she is. Very Caucasian. Like, could be on a

dollar bill Caucasian. She's a woman, but you know. One thing about, some white women age like presidents. Yeah, but okay. But there was some, OJ wrote a book similar, right? After, yeah, he did. It was called If I Did It.

Yes. Alright. Did that book come out? No no it never came out it was it was supposed to come out but it never came out the interview came out the interview he did for the book there was some backlash i would think all right well up next ask ye 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice call ye now it's the breakfast club come on the breakfast club Any type of advice, call Yee now.

Hello. Who's this? Hey, everybody. Good morning. Okay. So, who's this? Hey, everybody. Good morning. Okay, so real quick. I just wanted to know your take on what I call hood divorces. It's basically when a couple is still married on paper,

but they have lived separately maybe like a year. I know people that have been living separately up to 10 years, but on paper, they're still married. So if single people out here, you kind of got to get in where you fit in. But, you know, on paper, they're still married. So what's your take on that, on dating hood divorce individuals? Well, why don't you guys get a divorce? Is it the cost of it?

It's not me. It's them. Just dating, I've known several individuals that have been hood divorced. And they have different reasons. A lot of times they say to kids, which I don't understand because the kids see anybody. Okay, so you're dating somebody, and he's not officially divorced, but he's been living away from his wife for 10 years. I'm thinking about dating. Okay, you're thinking about it.

So his reason is his kids. Yeah, well, the reason is they're getting to it. He's trying to just figure it out. They're not together. Again, they're not trying to get together. But the reasons don't make sense to me, but I don't know. So I'm confused. Tell me what they are.

The thing is, I'm not speaking about one particular person. I've had this happen at least three times with individuals that are still married, but they're not living together. So I'm just wondering if that's even a situation. And some of them have gone on to get married, I mean, get divorced. Some of them are still divorced but living separately. But I'm just wondering, is that even something to entertain? Okay, so this is my thoughts on it. Was the person open and honest with you, right? Did they tell you right away,

look, here's my situation. My wife and I are divorced. We don't live together. And are we in the process of getting a divorce? That's important. And I also think for you as an individual, you have to decide what you will and won't be okay with. Now for you, if you're okay

with the fact that somebody's still married, but telling you that he is going to go through the process of getting a divorce and you believe him and he has proven to you that they're not still together, then that's a decision that you have to make. If you decide, okay, I can't be with you unless you get an official divorce and then we can discuss it that's really up to you the ball is in your court to make that decision all a man can do is tell you what it is that he's going through and then all you can do is base your decision off of those that information that he gives you so how what are your thoughts um my thoughts are these morals my mama gave me they just sometimes get in the way but you know so know, so I truly I'm not into it.

I guess I'll just wait it out. And of course, they other people in the process. But if that actually happens, then we can, you know. And there's nothing wrong with that. You don't have to compromise your morals just to be with somebody. And honestly, if this is something that he really, really wants and he can prove it to you by showing you, okay, here's the lawyer. I've been talking to the lawyer. We're going through the process.

Then that, to me, is proof enough for you that this person really is making that huge effort. Now, if he's saying, well, it's too much trouble, the kids, this, this, that, and the third, and you're not comfortable with that and your morals are telling you no, you don't have to compromise what you feel. Absolutely. Okay. Thank you so much.

And no real man should try to make you compromise that. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Okay, thank you so much. And no real man, no real man should try to make you compromise that. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Okay, great. Thank you so much. And I just want to tell you, I love you all. Charla and I,

I just love the way you speak to our black men and encourage them. I just love y'all. All right, we love you too, boo. All right, have a good one. Bye-bye. ASCII, 800-585-1051.

Now, we got rumors on the way here. Yes, Kourtney Kardashian, her fertility doctor, instructed her to ingest Bye-bye. ASCII, 800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way here. Yes, Kourtney Kardashian, her fertility doctor, instructed her to ingest Travis Barker's sperm. We'll tell you how often she had to do that in order to get pregnant. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

It's about time. What's going on? Rum rumor report this is the rumor report with angela yee on the breakfast club well queen latifah has announced that she's doing it's bigger than me it's a tour that she'll be going on and that's where she'll be discussing um obesity and shifting the conversation. She wants to empower our community with open and honest discussions about how living with obesity in America, you know, is more than just about your hormones. It's more than just about eating properly. She wants people living with obesity to seek help and open the floor for personal stories, questions, and voices to be heard. She said she wants to change the way the world understands, talks about, and treats obesity. And she's partnered with Novo Nordisk for that campaign.

She said we're both aligned when it comes to the topic of obesity and the stigma that comes along with it. And the fact that it's not just about weight. It's not just about genetics or hormones. And most importantly, to create a conversation to allow people to voice their feelings about what they're feeling and the challenges they face and to let them know it's not something that's their fault. So statistics do show 41% of Americans are obese, and that includes four out of five

black women. And she said this perspective that she has has shifted recently. She said she herself has struggled over the years with this. She's witnessed artists who have been one size prior to releasing music only to quickly transform their bodies when it's time to promote their new projects then uh that go on to become hits she said when you're you're someone that's looking at that it's like okay is this what i need to do next time i drop this album so i contemplated that and it really made me have a conversation with myself and i'm sure that'll give people proper motivation uh you know to to to get healthy to deal with their matters of obesity i'm sure

she said one of the scariest things is watching people secretly do surgeries and you know people don't want to publicly share what their journey is right so i think that'd be a good thing she's got some stops coming up i think new y York is one of her stops that she'll be on during this tour. So I'm going to tell you something. I don't express how much I am influenced by Queen Latifah. I love the way she moves and has always moved. I love how she constantly gives back and empowers her hometown in Newark. And I love what her and Shaq Kim have built over the years with Flavor Unit Entertainment.

I love that black woman and, you know, black man dynamic. Those are the type of partnerships I love. So drop on the clues bonds for Queen Latifah, man. You are an icon. You are loved and valued man dynamic. Those are the type of partnerships I love. So drop on the Clues Bonds for Queen Latifah, man. You are an icon. You are loved and valued and appreciated. She'll be in New York, Houston, and in LA. And she also talked about Shaquem in her interview that she did with Ebony.

If you guys want to check that whole interview out where she talks about everything that she's doing. That's out now? All right. Yes, the interview's out now. Okay. Go read that. I'm going right now.

All right. Now let's discuss Kourtney Kardashian. She's on this journey that she's sharing about fertility, and she's really trying to have kids. She just got married, and they went to their fertility fertility doctor and they basically gave her some advice on what she should do. So how's your thyroid levels?

But out of respect for the victims of the Uvalde school shooting in Texas, he has decided to delay the drop until Friday.

So that's just to let you guys know. Also, Trey, the truth. He declined an invitation to go to the White House because he wanted to be with the texas shooting victims families and so instead of uh going to where he was invited at the white house to meet with the president uh with the families of those who have wrongfully been murdered by police he said the people of buffalo new york are really in need as well as a family of children murdered in uvalde so i will have to pass i will be in the field with the people in need yeah he's in buffalo now shout out to trader truth and all the work that Trader Truth does. Love that, brother.

Alright, now, listen, I don't know. You guys, have y'all ever listened to Aerosmith, the rock group Aerosmith with the lead singer Steven Tyler? What was their song? You know, they did Walk This Way. Walk This Way. I know the version with Run DMC. That's about it. That's where it stops for me. But Aerosmith is a,

well, Aerosmith is a huge rock group and Steven Tyler is huge too. His daughter Liv Tyler, also a famous actress. But anyway, he's in rehab right now. He's checked himself into rehab, but it made me revisit a story and they were just talking about this in the news. He did his memoirs

and he talked a lot about his addiction that he's had since he was 16 years old. And one story that he told was about a time that he once had his child's mother, his ex-girlfriend, draw

a W on each of his ass cheeks. That way, if drug enforcement agents ever checked him when he was getting on a flight and told him to bend over it would say wow wow i've heard this story i do like errol smith's dream on record though how's it go yeah um dream on i don't remember that's all you got you know what i was thinking too so you got no actually errol smith is a great group but i will say they did have this one song

That could not work today It was called Dude Looks Like a Lady Dude looks like a lady Yeah I like that record too that's hard What's wrong with saying dude looks like a lady Nothing I just said you like that one Yeah that record's hard dude looks like a lady Well it depends what dude you're talking about

Now I get why it would be offensive Oh we got it Oh wow Dude looks like a lady Now I get why it would be offensive. Oh, we got it? Oh, wow. Like a lady. Dude, looks like a lady. I know what all y'all are thinking, too, but we tried to brush past it, so I'm not going to go back.

You wondering how big his butthole is? Because when I first heard that story, I was thinking, like, damn, if you put a W on each cheek and bend over and it says, wow, you're like, how big is this man's butthole? Come on. We've been thinking that. That is your room report.

And if it's upside down, it says mom. Mom. Whoa. Wow. All right. That was your room report. People's Choice mixes up next. I don't know.

I'm sorry. I'm not going to lie. That's the anus you take a picture of. He needs to send that to his close friends.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. And listen, man, I got to salute Audible. The reason I want to salute Audible, Audible is absolutely positively part of my self-care regime. And the reason they're part of my self-care regime is because there's nothing I like to do better in the morning than getting lost in a good audio book or a good podcast and I listen to all my audiobooks on audible okay whether it's you know wellness programs or financial advice motivation

whatever you need to inspire you or entertain you I guarantee you audible has it okay and they just keep adding more and more stuff every week and I am about to do a shameless plug because I want you to check out the brand new true crime audible original called Finding Tamika. That is the first release from myself and Kevin Hart's company, SBH Productions, which is a partnership with Audible. And we got a little piece of it for you right here. Tamika was gone, but her ghost would remain waiting, demanding, waiting. What followed in that 13 year period pushed a heartbroken family to ask a web of dormant questions, questions that, if answered, may invoke massive pain, unearth family secrets and resentment, fuel urban rumors and unlock a dark path to human unknowns. Why Tamika?

That audio is from episode one, The Sparrow, man. I love Finding Tamika. I would not even be a part of it if I didn't love it. Salute to Queen Erika Alexander and Color Farm Media for putting that together. And salute to Erika Alexander for narrating. And another top pick is DJ Envy and his wife's Gia Casey. New book, Real Life, Real Love. Life lessons on joy, pain, and the magic that holds us together.

Can we play a little piece of that, please? We can't change each other. We actually don't want to. And neither should you and your partner. A rule of thumb is asking yourself, if your partner never changes, can you build a life with them? You should never go into a relationship expecting a person to change. That's a risk and a gamble none of us should be willing to take. People only change on their own accord, for their own reasons, and in their own timing.

We should want to be the best for ourselves first and for each other second. I wanted you to play chapter 69, which is my secret chapter. Get out of here, man. I know a lot of y'all have the book, but on the Audible version, there's a new chapter. It's chapter 69, which is narrated by me. And I talk about the magic that holds us together. My goodness. Us as in Leonard and Rashawn.

My goodness. Okay? All right. Thank you, guys. And I appreciate all the support from the book. I know it was sold out. They restocked again this week. So I just want to say thank you, guys.

And now you got a positive note? Yes. And I just want to say thank you, guys. And now you got a positive note. Yes, and I just want to tell folks, just to put a button on the Audible thing, you can start listening to both of these today with a free 30-day Audible trial. Just go to audible.com slash breakfast club. Okay? Okay. And a positive note. When you are living in a different frequency and energetic vibration,

a lot of times people can't hear and understand what you are saying. They can only meet you as deeply as they have met themselves. Don't drain your energy continually trying to explain yourself.
