Pee in the mother, pee in the head. Good morning, USA. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

How you feel? Give me some good news. Good news? Yeah, good news. Tell me something good. Tell me something good. Because I know in front page news you're going to tell us three horror stories. Actually, not today.

Okay. There's a lot of sports stories this morning. Okay. Only bad news is that Monkeypox alert is a level two. What do I mean? According to the CDC. What is that? I don't even know.

They haven't even told us what monkeypox is yet. What is it? Well, the symptoms are relatively flu-like, but then there's swelling of your lymph nodes. You get a rash. I saw that. On your body and face. And then painful lesions and severe scarring after that. So they want you to wear a mask

now when traveling. What? So I gotta wear a mask for monkeypox too? I mean, they recommend it. You said you were gonna wear a mask anyway from now on. Yeah, but I lied. I had to put a mask on yesterday when I went into the doctor's office because I went for a physical and I hadn't put a mask

on in so long. I was choking. You know what? I was choking. I was choking. Certain places, if you go to get your nails done, they always still make you wear a mask in a nail salon. Certain places, you still have to. It's a private thing, I guess. Any private business owner, they can tell you what their rules and regulations are.

Plus, it's too hot for a mask. Is it summertime? 80 degrees? 90 degrees? I think outdoors, not necessarily. But inside, that's when people can say, okay, you got to wear a mask. A lot of people sweat around the mouth. A lot of people, men and women, sweat around the way their mustache should be. You never noticed that?

Yeah, yeah. I've seen that happen before. And my T-zone gets very oily, so that's not easy. What is the T-zone? You don't know what the T-zone is, guys? You're schooling us today. Monkeypox T-zones? What's a T-zone? The T-zone is the T-zone is guys? You're schooling us today Monkeypox T-zones? What's a T-zone? The T-zone is the part of your face

It's like the letter T Where it gets really oily So they call that the T-zone Where they bless it So that's like your forehead across That's like the top of the T Yeah where they bless it And then down the middle

When it's Ash Wednesday They put the cross there You know sometimes people rub that For their third eye But all the way down Like down past your nose All the way down to your chin That's considered your T-zone

Oh yeah I get oily there, too. Mm-hmm. I get oily around this part. Yeah. What's this? What's this? There you go. That's your cheeks and your nose.

Oh, that's my T-zone. You're like a baby. Look at this. Cheeks, nose. But the good news is I had a great physical yesterday. Drop on the clues box for my physical. Can't be waiting on my blood work to come back. All right, all is clear.

Uh-oh. Amen. No, I'm good. That's how that blood work comes back. Nobody used to be scared of that back in the day when I was out here hoeing in your streets. Nowadays, I don't worry about stuff like that. I am clean. But it is important to get that done.

You get to know your levels of your cholesterol. That's right. Your everything. That's right. My heart rate is nice and slow because I work out a lot, so life is good. Okay. All right? All right.

Now, let's start the show. What we got in front page news, G? Well, some changes to the iPhone and some tweaks. So we'll tell you some things that you can expect. Oh, and we got a couple of guests today too. You know, I love both of these guests because they definitely bring value to my life. Beatrice Dixon. Yes, indeed.

She is the founder of the Honeypot. Yes. That's all my wife and daughter use, Honey Pot products. Yeah, and there was some controversy and some things that went viral. She'll still address all of that. And the host of the Pivot podcast, my man Fred Taylor,

Channing Crowder, and Ryan Clark will be here this morning. One of my favorite podcasts that's out right now. I saw people were mad at something Ryan Clark said yesterday. Man, we didn't get to ask him. Man, I wish you would have talked about that because we recorded that before he sent that tweet out about Chris Brown being better than Michael Jackson. Like, come on. Stop. Alright.

We'll discuss though. It's The Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off today. It is time for front page news. What we got, Yee? All right. Well, the finals, game three, is going to be Thursday.

Tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow. Wait, why does it say Thursday? I don't know, but it's tomorrow in Boston. Yeah, I thought it was tomorrow all along. Okay. All right, and Rasheed Wallace is joining the Lakers as assistant coach. I like that.

I like that only because I like to see former players become coaches and things like that. And Rasheed Wallace is a monster, so drop on the Clues Bounce for Rasheed Wallace. All right, and the Denver Broncos are going to have a new owner for the first time since 1984. Is he black? According to Forbes, Rob Walton is likely going to purchase the team. It's not like Walmart. Yep, Walmart Air. And they said the bid is expected to come in at roughly $4.5 billion.

They said the winning bid has not yet been finalized, but they expect to announce it as early as this month. That's the highest price ever for an American sports team. Yeah, that good old boys club ain't letting no black people in. I know Byron Allen was putting a bid in. I know Robert Smith put a bid in. They're both black. Clearly, they don't want no black on us.

Well, previously, the record for the most expensive sports team was the Nets. They sold for $2.35 billion in August of 2019, and this is like double that price almost. So, Walton will be the richest owner in the NFL. He has a net worth of $59.6 billion. He's one of the 20 richest people in the world. He one of the Walmart people, right? Yeah, Walmart air. All right, now let's talk about Apple.

They have some upcoming changes to iPhone software. Their next operating system is iOS 16. And so some of the things that you can expect. Now, I'm going to tell you what people are most excited about, but they'll revamp the look

of the device's lock screen. There are going to be some minor improvements to the current software. One of the most noticeable differences is on the lock screen, you'll be able to

have your widgets on the lock screen display. So, you can have your favorite apps as small widgets on the lock screen. I don't even know what that means. What is a widget? It sounds like a slur. You you can have your favorite apps as small widgets on the lock screen. I don't even know what that means. What is a widget?

It sounds like a slur. You know, like the little apps. Oh, okay. All right. And the new software will also let the lock screen display live notifications. Like if you're calling an Uber, you don't have to unlock your phone to see the status of where the Uber is. You can have that on the lock screen.

There will also be revamping texts. So now if you send a text and you want to edit it after you send it or take it away and resend it completely, if you have a change of heart, you can do that. That only works if the person didn't read the text, though. How do we know? If the person already read the text you sent. What if they're asleep, you know what I'm saying,

and you send something and then you're like, oh, I was drunk last night. Let me just take it back before they wake up and see it. That definitely works. Now, both people have to have the Apple messaging app in order for that to work. So you can now do that. Apple Pay also, some services, they're adding a new financing feature. And so that option will allow people to stagger the cost of any purchase made through Apple Pay over four installments.

You just have to pay those four installments within a six-week period, and there'll be no additional fees if you do it like that. Alright? So, those are just some of the things. I'm sitting there listening to you talk. I'm like, I don't know nothing about my phone. I don't even know what the hell an Apple messaging app is. What the hell is an Apple messaging app? If you have it and I have it and we're messaging,

you know how sometimes the messages are green or they're blue? Oh, I just thought they were green when somebody changed their number or the phone was off. No. Green is normally not through iMessage. That's what that means. And so that could mean they have an Android or that could mean they're not going through iMessage. Oh.

You really don't know anything about your phone. I have no idea what the hell is happening. All right. And the world's biggest four-day workweek pilot has begun. This is in the UK. What's that mean? Four-day workweek. What you think it is in the UK. What's that mean? Four-day workweek. What you think it means?

Oh, so we only got to work four days? Not us. In the UK. Monday through, what, Thursday? Yeah, so it's going to start. Well, thousands of people are going to start their workweek on Monday and be done on Thursday. I'm all for that. I actually would want Monday off, though.

Give me Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. What difference does it make? I don't know. It's something about being able to sleep in on Mondays, man. Sunday feels like a half a day when you gotta get up to go to work or school in the morning. Sundays are rough. Well, they said until now,

Iceland had the biggest pilot of a shorter working week between 2015 and 2019, and those trials found that there was no drop in productivity Until now, Iceland had the biggest pilot of a shorter working week between 2015 and 2019. And those trials found that there was no drop in productivity among participants and there was a dramatic increase in employee well-being. I agree. There's really no need for us to have a five-day work week or a five-day school week. Why? Maybe school.

Not work. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Get it off your chest. 1-800-585-1051. You can call in right now. Tell us why you're blessed.

If you want to vent, you can do that. Hey, man, if you just want to tell us some good news, you can do that, too. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Let's go. 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 got something on your mind, let it out.

What's up, Mike? Hey, what's going on, Angelique? What's up? You ready to get it off your chest? Yeah. We listening? Listening, Mike. What's happening? Good morning, brother.

Hey, what's up, Charlamagne? How you, King? I'm all right, King. How you doing today? Bless Black and highly favored. Man, look, you know, I've been out here searching for, like, careers and stuff. You know what I mean? I'm close to that. I was about to get a first-time owner, a house, King. How you doing today? Bless Black and highly favored. Man, look, you know, I've been out here searching for, like, careers and stuff. You know what I mean? I'm close to that.

I was about to get a first-time owner, a house, whatever. So I went to a party just to get my credit raised. But, you know, raised my credit. So I went there, and I'm like, the lady said the rent is, like, $2,800. I'm like, man, that sounds like a whole house note. I said, I might as well get a house. I'm trying to figure out why the apartment is about the same as house notes now. Like, what's going on with that, man?

Yeah, sometimes the difference is just that down payment. Man, not $28 a month. Like, you got to make three times the rent. Like, you got to be in the military or something like that. That's crazy. Like, I understand we're going through a pandemic, but. No, it's not the pandemic. It's inflation, King.

I feel you. I feel you. I feel you. We only written that. You know what I mean? Everybody, there's more people who got to move in there after we move out. So that's like. Where do you live? It ain't our crib. Like, why are we paying that much if it ain't our crib? That's the whole. And you got restrictions on it. If I'm paying that much, you can't have no restrictions on my, on my crib. I own it. Inflation, brother. Inflation got the rent sky high. Yeah, you ain't lying about that.

I guess it's just something else for a white man. Just like, nah, you can't do this or do that. Well, there's black landlords too. You ain't lying about that. It'd be a shame, but I'm like, yo, if I'm paying $2,800 a month, I want to be able to have cookouts on my balcony. Anybody I want, smoke anything I want.

Like, you know what I mean? I should be able to walk butt naked outside if I wanted to. I know that we all want to see that. Yeah, I know that. I'm just saying. I'm saying that. But this is like, that's almost like a what? A new car right there.

So wait, what'd they tell you you can't do? What's the restrictions? I mean, it's like you can't have a grill on the balcony. You can't have a pet here. You know what I mean? You gotta, it's just a lot of restrictions. You can't, it's just certain things you can't do in there.

It would be like that regardless of what you're paying rent, bro. Come on. You can't walk butt naked out on nobody's balcony regardless of how much you're paying rent. And maybe the grill is a fire hazard. I don't know. But you got to think about it. Look, if you're doing that, though, and on top of that, you got all these restrictions,

you still can't. Where the fun at? You can't play in the pool. You can't do this. You can't invite nobody over. You got to have food fast. You can't invite nobody over. Yeah, it's like one of those type of things.

You can't have too many people not over there. You got to have, like, three people in your house at a time. What? You know, the apartment is not even good. It's like one of those things. You can't have too many people not over there. You got to have like three people in your house at a time. What? You know, the apartment is not even good. It's like a burden. Oh, I forgot where this apartment was at. Sound like you need a different apartment. Well, King, I'm sending you positive energy, love, and light.

Inflation is up for everybody, man. Rent is up more than 30% in a lot of different cities, man. So is this something we got to live with right now, King? You you're right about it i guess we got to make a petition about this but i appreciate it have a good day brother oh man hey call up right now 1-800-585-1051 uh get it off your chest you know you can tell us why you're blessed you can vent you can give us some good news whatever you want to.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves.

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.

Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.

He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez.

At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story,

And we had our troubles, but we weathered the storm and we're still together. I love to hear it. Love to hear that, my brother. And y'all just as in love as you were back in 89? Yeah, communication is the key, man.

Just talk to each other and keep it fresh. All right, well, happy anniversary. Can I send a shout out right quick? Mm-hmm. Barry, Tameka, I love you. Drive home safe. I mean, drive work to work safe.

And I'm here for another 18 years. Yes, sir. Love to hear it. That's right. I mean, I appreciate y'all. I love y'all. Peace, King. Love you too, brother.

Yes, sir. Oh, you. Remember I did the change for change? What? Oh, yeah, okay. I remember you got some money for change for change. Oh, yeah, I remember. Yeah, but, oh, you know, I went to do the, what you call it, yesterday, for the $1,000.

And I was just trying to explain the reason why I should get it. But I was doing it through my phone and I didn't get to send my entry without me explaining the reason why I should get it. Now listen, I don't know this to be true, but I'm sure that there's some type of stipulation on you winning money

again, bro. You just won money, how long ago, Eddie? November. December. I was still in that situation, bro. You just won money. How long ago, Eddie? November. December. I was still in that situation, though. That's what the whole thing is. Well, we can't change to change you up out of your situation, bro. I thought things got better. A little better, but I feel like, you know, it was $3,500. So I still owe a little under $2,000. How much we gave you last time? $3,500. No, $1,000.

Oh, $1,000. Okay. Oh, okay. I was trying to see if I could win again to contribute to the rest of the bill. That's not how this works.

You got to win. If you win, you win. But you can't just call up and say, can I win? No, no, no, no. I went online and I felt that the day was the date why I should win. King, we already gave you money for your story.

You can't get money for the same story, brother. We already gave you some money for that story. Don't you want to spread the money out? Yeah, but I figure, you know, it's for a cause. It's not like this is going to my pocket. I figure I can win that too. You already won once with this story.

Look, Javon, just put your entry in. Maybe you'll win, maybe you won't, but there's a lot of people who are applying to get this money. I don't think you can win an Oscar twice for the same movie. I'm just saying. This is not an Oscar. How you been doing?

You know what I'm saying? I understand everybody needs help, but that's the point. Everybody needs help. You already got a blessing with $1,000 here at the radio station. Don't call up with the same story trying to get another $1,000. That's just greed. You can't do that. You got a report coming up?

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.

Well, 33-year-old Jemichael Jones of Atlanta has surrendered and turned himself in for killing trouble.

And they said his mother was instrumental into bringing him into custody. So earlier on Monday, deputies visited places familiar with to Michael Jones. They knocked on doors, asked after his whereabouts. And one of those locations was his mother's house. And they said that Jones spoke to his mother by phone and shared his wish to surrender. He was then met by deputies in the parking lot of a Clayton County hospital and arrested. And so he is now in custody. And all of that, he made a permanent decision based off a temporary feeling.

Because that permanent decision is going to be life in jail. Right. And they said that he already had other infractions on his record. He apparently has several arrest warrants out and felony murder, aggravated assault, home invasion charges. He's done. And, you know, now trouble is deceased. God bless the dead. And that young lady is going to be out here. It's still living her life. You know, imagine all the trauma she got to deal with, you know, after witnessing something like that. Like this guy is he's this is silly. You can be thinking about this for the rest of his life and you're gonna have a lot of time to think about it all right now young thugs x jerica was on the progress report podcast and she talked about

speaking to young thug while he's been in jail here's what she said yeah i spoke to him he's doing good actually and he's in great spirits i feel like this is just a moment for him, like, to learn a lot of lessons. And, like, honestly, he was giving me advice on how to, like, keep your head in the game. Like, wake up every day and put a smile on your face so I can be thankful. And we good. It's like, I love my fans, stuff like that. And that was it. I was like, all right.

I really feel like I see his faith. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I really, really do. And that's what a lot of people don't know. Bro, that man really know the Bible inside out. Nobody would know that about him because ain't nobody talking about that. People come around him, they don't see how he talk about God.

They don't talk about that. They talk about everything else. That's a great answer because I hate when people ask me how somebody in jail is doing. They're in jail. Right. Alright, now let's discuss Tiger Woods. I hate when people ask me how somebody in jail is doing. They're in jail. Right. Well, all right. Now let's discuss Tiger Woods. Greg Norman is the creator of a Saudi-backed golf series.

It's very controversial. And he told the Washington Post that Tiger Woods was offered and turned down a deal that was mind-blowingly enormous. He said the deal reached into the high nine digits, the offer that was out to him. So Phil Mickelson has already signed with that golf series. They said his deal is worth $200 million. According to Golf Channel, other high-profile golfers are also expected to compete in that new league.

That league starts as early as Thursday, where they'll be teeing off outside London. Now, Tiger Woods did acknowledge that he was approached by the tour before, but rejected it. And he said, Mickelson has his opinion on where he sees the game of golf going. I have my viewpoint on how I see the game of golf, and I've supported the tour, and my foundation has run events on the tour for a number of years. Oh, God bless.

That's when you know you're getting a high amount of money. You can be like, $200 million, I'm okay. Didn't Tiger crack a billion before? How am I making this up? Listen, he at one point was like the highest paid athlete. Yeah. And so I'm sure he's good. God bless.

I know, right? All right, now Deshaun Watson is facing another sexual assault lawsuit as a 24th woman has come forward. That woman claims that he ejaculated on her per reports. A massage therapist named Katie Williams filed a lawsuit in Harris County, Texas against him with her attorney on Monday. She says that he masturbated and ejaculated in front of her in her apartment during a massage therapy session in August of 2020. She also said that some of his semen did get on her as well. So this is now 24 allegations against Deshaun Watson and the FBI did allegedly get involved last year as well. So this is now 24 allegations against Deshaun Watson. And the FBI did allegedly get

involved last year as well. So she said she gave him a massage a few days prior to the alleged assault without any problems. He tipped her $100. But then during a second session a few days later, he asked her to rub his inner thighs before demanding that she massage higher and higher, eventually leading her to touching his scrotum and him getting an erection. And that's when he stood up and ejaculated. Now, is it true that Deshaun Watson's lawyer says happy endings aren't a crime? Oh, I didn't hear that. Oh, I saw that headline.

He said happy endings aren't a crime unless you're paying somebody. I thought that's what I read. Yeah, I can't say that I would agree with that, right? All right. That's what I read. Yeah, I can't say that I would agree with that, right? All right, now Steve Harvey has been joking about his daughter, Lori Harvey, split from Michael B. Jordan. And he was on his morning show and he had some laughs about it. Here's what he said. We're trying to make sure Lori's all right.

I didn't start learning from my children. Get out of here. What about you? I'm going to cost you something. Oh, it's damaging? You got to go home. I went way too late. Sometimes people do throw a party.

I'm going to have to start breaking up on IG because he's going to court. It's costly. Yeah, he said it's very costly. He's going to break up over IG. Hey, drop on the clues, Harvey. I don't know what's true and what's not true, but it's summertime, man. You know what I mean? Some people like to be single during the summer,

right? Right. We don't know what went on with their relationship, but they've both been out and about. He was at a game the other day. They showed his face. They were saying there's going to be another Michael Jordan crying meme. People just have jokes. He's going through it, I'm sure. I just know white women are excited right now.

Okay? So, white women, put your bids in now. Because, you know, can't mess with white women after Labor Day. What? All right. Now, Ryan Clark. And he's about to be on in a second from the Pivot podcast. People are upset about him and some tweets that he put out.

He said that Chris Brown is more talented than Michael Jackson. He said there, I said, have a great week. Ryan knew to tweet that after he came to the Breakfast Club. Ryan, we're talking to the Pivot podcast next hour. We literally recorded that probably a couple hours before he posted that he didn't bring that up in the interview no he did not come on man i love chris brown but stop y'all gotta stop doing y'all gotta stop doing this to people like chris brown because when you do this you're chasing ghosts michael jackson and i'm not saying this because he's deceased it's just that

what he's done will never be duplicated this man sold over a hundred million records of one album. Well, Tank agreed, by the way. Agreed what? With Ryan. Tank, stop. Come on. He said, I've been the only one saying this, and I felt alone for so long. Welcome to the fold. Singer, dancer, writer, producer, actor, painter, clothing designer, gymnast, ninja, et cetera.

MJ is the greatest, but CB has more gifts is all we're saying. That's what they do with LeBron. Like, you bring up LeBron, I'm not going to jump. People are like, whoa, LeBron made a billion dollars and he still likes to play. What does that have to do with what he does on the court? We're talking about music and we're talking about dancing ability, right?

That's what I would think we're talking about. We're just talking about that. Of course he can play basketball and do graffiti and all that other stuff. What's that got to do with music and dancing? And Chris is amazingly talented, but it's just like the bar that Michael Jackson said is too high. Like, why even do that to Chris?

Let Chris be Chris Brown. And let Michael be Michael. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Let's reset. Graffiti. You're getting yourself all worked up. And how we know Michael didn't know how to tag? We don't know that.

Exactly. Wasn't he tagging in the Beated video on one of them videos back in the day? But I will say, I mean, all right, tagging. But Chris Brown, it's weird. Tank is saying he has more gifts. He says, well, Michael Jackson is the greatest of all time. He said Chris Brown has more gifts. I just don't understand why they bring up.

Why are we comparing that? Yeah, and why do they bring up all of this other stuff? I thought we were talking about music and dancing. I thought we were talking about that artistry, nothing else. Let's focus. Yeah. All right, well, that is your rumor report. We got front page news coming up, yeah. All right, well, that is your rumor report. We got front page news coming up, yeah?

All right, well, let's talk about the Proud Boys leader and top members, and they're being charged, and we'll tell you what's going on. All right, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hey, what up, y'all? It's DJ Envy. Have you taken a closer look at the general insurance yet?

Switch to the general and you could save over $500. Call 800-GENERAL or visit thegeneral.com. The General Auto Insurance Services, Inc., an insurance agency,

Nashville, Tennessee. Some restrictions apply. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angel E. I was just telling

our cameraman, Nick, that George Bush is more talented than Barack Obama. George Bush can draw his ass off. He can? What? You didn't know that? George Bush can paint. That's a fact. George Bush paints.

Yes. What are we doing? Oh, it's a show called The Breakfast Club. Time for front page news. Alright, well let's talk about the Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and four other leaders have been charged with seditious conspiracy. And that is escalating the criminal case against this far right extremist group. This is all because of the January 6th U.S. Capitol attack.

These are the most aggressive charges that have been brought by the Justice Department against the Proud Boys. And they are the first allegations by prosecutors that the group tried to oppose by force the presidential transfer of power. Now, CNN's Sarah Sidner did talk to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio about the group's actions at the Capitol on January 6th, and here's what he had to say. They shouldn't have breached the Capitol with violence. He says that now. You write, when the people fear the government there is tyranny when the government fears the people there is liberty. Doesn't that show that you are

celebrating terrorizing people? I was celebrating and I'll tell you I'll celebrate the moment that the government does fear the people. At that point again and I didn't have all the information that came in why they were cowering or anything like that do you but i think that you didn't do that now that you know no i don't i'll i'll one another thing is i'll never regret something uh that i said okay so that's an admission of guilt all right that's what it sounds like to me and prosecutors have also revealed tarrio's text messages from january 6th where he compares the attack on the u.S. Capitol to the Winter Palace, the home of the Russian emperor, which was stormed during the Russian Revolution in 1917.

He also appears to comment on Congress being evacuated from the chambers, unable to certify the electoral college vote. An unnamed person texted him, dude, did we just influence history? And he responded, let's first see how this plays out. And then the unnamed person wrote back, they have to certify today or it's invalid. So all five of these people were previously

indicted on the serious conspiracy charges. And the defendants are set to be in court, I believe on Thursday, later on this week. Now, here is what the Proud Boys leader Enrique Ontario had to say. They are still Americans. They are still human beings who felt that their lives were in danger. How can you not feel any sympathy or any empathy? I'm not going to worry about people. That their only worry in life is to be reelected. All right. What kind of time is that, whatever they be in charge for, Carrie, because it sounds like.

Well, they're saying this is the most serious charges that they have brought against them to this point. It sounds like. And, you know, that's the problem is there's no real consequences and repercussions for January 6th. It's wild that an attempted coup in this country happened and America really just treated it like a bunch of kids. Wow. And that's break break. Yeah. Previously, they were indicted on less serious conspiracy charges. And lawyers have maintained in court that these guys had no plan when they walked to the Capitol on January 6th. But this would show that they actually did have a plan. call, but just last year Enrique was sentenced to five months in jail for burning a church's Black Lives Matter

banner in December and bringing high capacity rifle magazines to D.C. days before the U.S. Capitol insurrection. Yeah, that level of white supremacy is going to cannibalize us all. That level of white supremacy is what's going to ultimately you know, no, not ultimately it is bringing this country to its

knees right now as we speak. Alright, so we'll be paying attention to this as this is going to be happening It is bringing this country to its knees right now as we speak. Mm-hmm. All right, so we'll be paying attention to this as this is going to be happening later on this week on Thursday. And that is your Front Page News. All right, when we come back, man, we're going to talk to the host of one of my favorite podcasts out right now, The Pivot Podcast.

My man Fred Taylor, Channing Crowder, and Ryan Clark will be here to discuss with us a whole bunch of things. Sadly, we recorded this before Ryan put out that Chris Brown is more talented than Michael Jackson tweet. Okay? So we won't be discussing that, but we'll be discussing a whole bunch of other stuff. Okay? It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off today, but we got the host of one of my favorite podcasts, man, Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder. The Pivot Podcast is here. What's up?

What's happening? Appreciate you having us, baby. How y'all feeling this morning? We've seen a lot of your clips on Rumor Report. A lot. I just wanted to say. Oh, we appreciate that. For sure.

A lot lately. I really appreciate what y'all are doing, man, because I think it's dope when people who actually lived it control their own narratives. So what made y'all want to do this? Go ahead. You know. You got it.

We had to get away from the other situation. I remember that. We didn't know what we were going to do. We just weren't going to stay over there. Then Channing and I, we talked and then eventually

we had a conversation with RC and then we had to pivot from there and we ended up with the pivot. Because you already was doing one, right?

Yeah, I was doing something on my own already just because I was just trying to get the reps of interviewing, doing those things, telling certain stories and I did the old show

with them. They needed a guest host. Somebody was missing And I did the old show with them. They needed a guest host. Somebody was missing. So I did the old show. It went really well. And then Alicia Zubikowski, who's the producer, she just hit me up. Like, would you do the show?

Would you talk to Chan? Me and Chan talked for about an hour and a half one night, you know, because my first question was, can y'all fix the old thing? You know what I mean? Because I think any time, like in our culture, when something does become that big and it does become something that the community grabs onto, like, I didn't want that to just go away behind nonsense.

Right. And then, you know, once they let me know what the deal was and how everything went down, I was like, cool, let's do it. But I can honestly say I didn't expect it to be what it is now though,

for sure. It's so important to take care of the business too, aspect of it. So when you guys did the Pivot podcast, what agreement did you come to with each other to make sure that it was fair for everybody? Well, we learned from the other situation where you just jump out with your homeboys.

Hey, we tight. We play together. We know each other. Man, let's do this. And then it blows up, and then checks start coming, and now you panicking on the back end. Oh, well, what percentage is mine? What percentage is yours?

So before we even shot an episode, we set up our business, set up our LLC, our big one. and now you're panicking on the back end. Oh, well, what percentage is mine? What percentage is yours? So before we even shot an episode, we set up our business, set up our LLC, our big one. We connected all three of our businesses to it. We brought in our producer and our attorney, so everybody got their, you know, it's not equal percentage. We're the main three owners.

We own, what is it, 80% of it. And then, so that's already set up before a dime came in. So we were fronting money. All of us were paying for our own stuff to start it to get it going to travel to production everything with our producer and we're paying for it ourselves and said okay we're gonna bet on ourselves to come in but we didn't even we left other spot me and freddie were like we got to do a podcast but then we just saw man it's it's the it's the young kids that come up to you from the 14 year old that come and be like hey man that busy stuff was crazy to the 60 year old that comes up to you so we're really affecting the culture so that's what me and freddie were like but we got to keep this going somehow to really

just speak to the people and we wanted to bring in a third and the list was short it was ryan clark we knew the dude he's talented he was that good guy so that's what we brought in but yeah we didn't we didn't have to do it we didn't want to just want do it, but we had to because we just thought we were affecting so many people. Well, you know, I'm glad you said that because coming from pro sports, y'all make multi-millions of dollars. Podcast money ain't like that initially. Yeah, for sure. Not at all. And it might take a while to even get to that multi-millions of dollars.

So did that impact anything? No, not for me. Okay. Like I said, it's all about teaching, being transparent and learning, and just really opening up conversations. I think that's what we've been great at. And really just jumping in it, we started the other thing just during quarantine. We were bored in the house, just trying to get outside and do some stuff, talk.

And then it just evolved into that. For me, I never thought I'd be in media. Right. So just to really be here is still I think my drive now is the fact that, like Channing just said, people run up on us. Damn. Yeah. I changed my life. The DMs, man, that right there. Open my eyes, man.

I need this. No, it's medicine. So that keeps you driving. So and it really the money is going to come on the back end. You know what I'm saying? We can sustain this. So that's not the important thing right now. It's just the conversation.

If you chase the money, you'll never catch it. That's right. What you said about athletes being in a box, do you think that's where the stereotype of the dumb jock comes from? Because they only want to talk to you all about one thing? Well, I don't think it's necessarily like that's where the dumb jock comes from because I think some jocks are dumb. Just like anybody's dumb.

Just like anybody's dumb. You know what I'm saying? Like there's people that play ball that was really good at ball and also not very intelligent. And so I think people try to stereotype everyone in that way. But I think it's much like anything else is where like where people see you and box you in or how they meet you it's hard for them to get outside of that right like if you're not that's all you do right like if you're not having a conversation

with us like if you never sit down and bring up another topic then you don't know what the hell i know and like this show has let us do that i love so many of y'all episodes man you know people got mad at you when you called Russell Wilson a square. Do you take that back? Not at all. Not one bit. You know what? I did. I did, you know, so I did creep in the G-Code locker room

bringing up Sierra and why they're together, you know what I'm saying? And actually Fred and RC afterwards, they got on me like, bro, you know what I'm saying? She wanted her piece. You know, you know you can transition you don't go to different situation from Kanye to David's what's his name he David's I don't follow that man so like there are two different people so I understand the chain so bring it up see I bring up man's family I'll take that back mm-hmm

but have y'all seen Russell's videos you see've seen Men's Turned Lamb, it is. And it's goofy shit. My bad. Listen, but there's nothing wrong with being a square, though. I know, that's what I'm saying. I didn't call him alcoholic. That's a positive thing to me, really. But I think, though, you said you didn't call him alcoholic. I didn't call him alcoholic. I didn't call him a deadbeat dad.

I didn't call him a pedophile. Some people felt like it was personal, like you have a personal issue with him. No, no, no. There's lame people all around, I think. And I'm calling lame if you haven't thrown a name out. I say lame or cool. It's an opinion, and it's what I thought. Like, these folks have to think I'm lame.

And I don't give a damn. I don't know why so many people were mad at my opinion that Russell Wilson is a square and a lame. But that's what happens when you have a successful podcast, but you say it holds a lot more weight than just having a regular conversation. But also, I guess, a person that people look at and they say, that's a good guy. Why is a good guy considered lame? There's good people that are cool.

Yeah. Just the way Russ holds himself, his little videos, you saw him come up, you see how he done been in the locker room with people that know how to talk to talk to, he learn how to talk to talk, but he's not built like that. I'm an Atlanta dude, man. I'm an Atlanta dude, and that know how to talk to talk to you learn how to talk to talk but he's he's not built like that i'm an atlanta dude man i'm an atlanta dude and that's how he doesn't understand who in the black community is protected certain people you can't say certain things about and that's beautiful black love you can't violate that yeah but he spoke his opinion so that's one thing channing gonna do you watch the episodes channing gonna be black and white ain't no great

about chan he's gonna always be transparent you're gonna like it or you're not you know I'm saying and that's really that's it it works it wasn't though what people try to make it though and I think that was that what that was my larger issue and you got it and you mean you for sure know you know I'm saying like you say certain things and you may not expound and people bring it to something else right because obviously if I'm connected to him and I'm laughing during the time and even in the piece, I said, I was like, bro, but when you've been in something that's toxic, you just want peace. You want the opposite. Even I said that.

But I also agree that he's square. The thing that frustrated me is now people are coming at us like you can't say anything about it because of the couple right it's because of the couple and like i had the conversations with people which i love being able to have those conversations i was like look you know in 2016 when michael bennett's walking off the stage in a black lives matter shirt and they asked russell wilson he says police lives matter and everybody's lives matter of course black lives matter lord you know what i'm saying and so at that time at that time like i went on tv that day i'm on first take i went on tv like nah like we needed somebody to be strong and and to me it's like okay and then in 2020 and like things change and your minds change and you know you're now married to a black woman and you have black kids and so you know now those things are important in 2020 he gives this impassionate speech on the espies and that's cool right but for me somebody who's the

same way in 16 and and white people are cussing me calling me racist and then in 2020 i'm getting calls every time i get off a tv that my voice is needed that is square to me it's okay to say that and also say you know what my daughter i want her to marry a man that loves her the way he seems to love sierra and take care of his kids not only his kids her other kid like all those things are beautiful and i wanted to be a black man that should be okay to say too yeah you know what i'm saying so i think that i just think that you know that thing was taken way out of like context and i hated that he got killed for it and his wife was getting messages and and different my daughter's getting

messages really yeah and so i thought that you know like come on now like know who you we got more with the pivot podcast coming up on the world's most dangerous morning show the breakfast yes it's the world's most dangerous morning show the breakfast club charlemagne the god angela yee dj envy and right now we kicking it with the Pivot Podcast. And the Michael Beasley episode, man, that was so important. And I don't think he would have gotten that open anywhere else. For some reason, he felt very comfortable in that environment. Have y'all followed up with him since then?

I hit him constantly. I have a lot of blue texts, though. And he hasn't really returned anything. But I repost his stuff. I text him all the time just to check on him and I think it's you know for us it was one of those things I was honestly all that like we weren't expecting like when he came on like Chan and Fred had to go like talk to him to just get him to do the show kind of had like just because when you get to our show it's kind of like not just a regular podcast cameras everywhere and people moving around and so you know he didn't want to do it initially and like

through the first few minutes we didn't know what it was going to be and for him to open up in that way like you almost felt like you almost felt ill-equipped for it and I think that's why it ended up being so beautiful was because we all had to like just strip down and just be there with him and it was it's the interview that when people talk about where I show has come to this point the interview everybody a point to because I believe that's kind of what started the people mm-hmm no he we are reached out to him 20 times and he respond back and just random like we just got on the team he just signed a deal and what China right oh wow congratulations oh no yeah let me you know let me know just like on the show when i told him bro i got kids we get the bounce house in the backyard every time we had a party i reach out

to the man hey bro having something saturday a couple times i did it no response but when you want help you reach out for it and everybody hit us like this man needs help um psychiatrists would dm me doctors i know dm me hey can you please get a touch of Michael B's? I'm like, listen, I'm not giving this man number to you, but I keep reaching out to him and any moment He does respond you ready? I'll let him and I'll have a team ready to do something for him But just wishing the best but I know we all reached out to him a number of times So what was that conversation even get him to do it? Initially a couple friend couple people I reached out to.

We talked about doing it when we were on the other side, but that was shot down. So thank God it was. And I think that's the beauty about what we do. Like, we just let people speak. Some people come with agendas, and they have things that they want to vent to and get off their chest. And then we're going to do enough research where we can expound and we can carry a conversation. So I think really that's what creates our dynamic. One, guests know we're going to do right by them.

We ain't looking for no click baits. We're just looking to let you talk. We'll let you see the cuts before we send them out, all the promos. You sign off on them, we're good to go. Has anyone ever said, can you take this out yeah yeah we have a we have a show we have a show that we can't release because because the guests come right I always a can I ask this right cuz you know you study and you know you know what you want to get to and if you get to it you you will and so I'm like can I

ask this can I ask this there's like oh yeah like we all good sauce like this is gonna be an excellent show. We do the show. Show's phenomenal. I get a call from my agent, my TV agent, and he's like, look, their agent called me. They need to take some things out. And when people take things out, y'all know how it is.

You take, like, a snippet out or you might take one answer out. They took out, like, 20 minutes of a 45 minute show oh he must have got loose oh she must have got loose you know what i'm saying and i was like well we can't show this 12 minute episode you know and then but it was but it's also one of those things though like when i look back on it i think it's i think it's even cool though that that we could be in that but we could be that way like if you feel that feel that... And they have a documentary coming out, so I guess they thought they shared too much. But if you feel like you did something on the show

and, you know, you got to take so much out, we're not going to put you out there bad. We're not going to be like, nah, you said it, we're going to do it, you signed a release. Nah, we're not going to do that because you don't want that to be attached to your name either. And to be honest, they done told us something I done on the show.

We'll stop the show afterwards and our producer and. And to be honest, they done told us something I done done on the show. We'll stop the show afterwards and our producer and Freddie and RC be like, hey, that mid part with Chan we don't even do that. You know, I get wild with sexual stuff. You know, just start talking crazy, talking about, you know, back in the day when I used to run in them streets.

And then after the show, as soon as it's over, Ray will be like, RC, we can't play this stuff about the club. And then the producer will be like, okay, and she'll edit it up and be right. But yeah, from all our standpoints, we're not there to get anybody. And I think that's what people gather. One thing I was surprised

by is that when people come on, they're always going to watch shows before. They always want to see what to expect when they get there. So they already know his approach. They know my approach. They know Freddie's approach. So they already are kind of prepared but if they were

to say something crazy we'll even in the middle of the show sometime we'll be like they'll talk. There was a show recently and dude said something and Freddie was like

you don't want to put that out. Oh I do that all the time. I tell the guests right now I'll be like you know we editing that right? Because you already know why I give somebody unnecessary backlash

for no reason. You know what I mean? You had a nice moment with Shaq, too. Yeah, yeah. See, the funny thing with Shaq, he came in shooting. He walked in, started calling me names, and, you know, this little ugly-ass little boy. It's your big-ass right here. I don't act like I want to come over there and cheer.

But even that rapport, that rapport was started off camera. So we get on camera. That's why me and Shaq just kept shooting at each other, that rapport was started off camera. So we get on camera. That's why me and Shaq just kept shooting at each other because it was already established. And he's a cool dude, and that's the comfort level. So he walk in big, and everybody kiss his butt. Shaq, Shaq. When he walk in the hotel, we was at everybody, ran out.

The damn restaurant stopped. People running out trying to take pictures of him. He get upstairs with us. I mean, what your big ass doing? Why you got them leather shoes on? So we start talking to him like a normal person and that's what loses people up. Because I always say it, man.

You put your drawers on before your pants, just like I do. Like, you know what I'm saying? You a human being. I can actually see you putting your pants on before your drawers. Some of these nights I've been around you, dog. I'd be wide open sometimes.

You ain't been nervous with anybody, though? Like, has anybody made you? Yeah. Oh. you? Yeah. Oh, yes. Yeah. What, something that we ain't seen yet?

Caitlyn. Caitlyn Jenner. Yeah. That came out? Yeah. Caitlyn Jenner. I didn't see that one. Oh,

no, I did see the one with Caitlyn because she said some real shit because she was like, yo, basically, it seems like it's a trend. Yeah.

Everybody didn't be embracing the trend. I thought that was going to have way more backlash than it did, but it didn't be embracing the trend I thought that was gonna have way more backlash than it did but so the crazy thing is though when we got the opportunity to do it I was actually in the car with him and I was like we can't do it and he was like no he was like I was straight up he's like it's gonna be a great conversation RC and I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna ask her this I. I said, nah, man. I said, because Chan, I was like, you really can't like Chan on this one. Like you got to kind of, I was like, because if we upset the trans community,

I was like, we might not have no show. You know what I mean? And he was like, nah, I'm going to be straight. I'm going to be straight. I said, but on the other side of it is too, I said, because she's a guest that's not necessarily like for our target demographic. I was like, we can't go on there and not be us. our target demographic I was like we can't go on there and not be us you don't say like I actually don't want Channing or

Fred or myself to have to be on a show with a guest where we can't do what we do and we can't do it in the way that people have grown to love the show and so like that was the conversation we were having and we had it for a day and then like we finally and we know we're not even a day we was ten hours when we figured we could do the show okay so we had to coat a day and then like we finally and we know we're not even a day We was ten hours when we figured we could do the show. Oh, yeah So we had to coat this do right here like you don't know if he plan or PC I'm gonna ask it. I'm gonna ask you what kind of meat you got Looking you got next question is so we gotta do the same thing. I will put our finger up He wussed out. He wussed out on that question. Just like I see y'all, you know what I'm saying?

Y'all get a look and you got next question this. So we got to do the same thing. Like, we'll put our finger up or you got it. Every time I put my finger up during that interview, they both be like. No. I don't think I got out of line, but I did ask real questions. You were scared to ask real questions, though.

How do you get to a proper understanding if you don't have these real conversations, though? You got to have these real conversations. What question would you ask, Chia? That you were scared to ask. Like, man, what you got in your drawers? You know what I'm saying? Like, that's what I say. You say that usually?

I would say, yeah. I would say just, like, my thing is like, man, all the sugar. It's funny because all that sugar coat when people are like, so I've heard in the past. I listened to another interview of yours and tried to sneak up on a topic. Let me not waste your time. Let me just ask the question. So in that one, I didn't just ask the past. I listened to another interview of yours and tried to sneak up on a topic. Let me not waste your time.

Let me just ask the question. So in that one, I didn't just ask the question. And R.C. be like, you real nice with this one, sis. Yeah, you scared, bro. Real nice. People know Chan. They'll come in there looking for Chan like Shaq. You know what I'm saying? They come in there and they're trying to

get him open. Because when you break him, you break the ice and the interview just go. We got more with the Pivot Podcast coming up on the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy, and right now we kicking it with the Pivot Podcast. I want to tap back into the Michael Beasley combo and the mental health combo.

Was that ever something y'all were able to discuss as athletes, y'all mental health? I think... When y'all were playing? When you were y'all y'all mental health i think when y'all were playing when you were playing you don't really pay attention to it i mean you're a warrior you know you're just out there competing you're trying to knock the next guy head off or try to avoid getting your head knocked off so that conversation especially when we were playing it wasn't as prevalent you know as important as it is now. But on the other side of that, you know, now that we are out of the game, we're able to

see these guys that are either committing suicide or struggling or going through, you know, these mental health issues. You know, we always try to bring it to the forefront, you know, and I knew that before the Beasley episode, for example, there were some questions about, you know, his state of, you know, mind. And that was a few angles and a few questions that we were going to ask, but we didn't know it was going to go that deep. You know, so we always want to, you know,

before we would call it a check-in, you know, check on your people, follow up, see how they're doing, because you just never know. Because even in our game, is it it like 78 or 87 percent of the guys are broke filed bankrupt or divorced within three years when they're done and that can put pressure and expedite whatever's going on upstairs you get into depression you know the anxiety of thinking what the next dollar coming from because guys don't all you get in at such a young age you don't necessarily know which way you're going to go but But the good thing is the NFL provides all of those resources.

Really? All of them. If anybody, I heard a comment the other day say, what can we do? We got to get with the NFL PA and do this and that. They're already doing that. The players just got to take the time to go take advantage of the resources. They've got money laid out everywhere. So you just got to take the time to go take advantage of the resources they give them they've got money laid out everywhere so you just got to go you got to put that in your everyday routine and say this is what matters to me you got to do it now though especially for the young guys that's active they

got to do it right now but you're so much i think you're so much more evolved like i gotta give you some love i'm gonna go freddie flowers here um you and you starting to speak about mental health made me actually check myself and i remember meeting you at espn one you were way nicer and more polite than i thought you'd be just listening to the show i'm like man you're telling people they box trash and i gotta be a bad guy but but so but so, and just like, because, you know, and I, and I've talked about it with them all the time, you know, like I grew up both parents, you know, great childhood, but like my parents were really tough. My parents were, my day worked hard as hell. And they said, you know what?

Like my mom told me, you know, like depression is something that black, a black man can't afford, right. Or, or, or sadness or different things like that. And so, you know, there were times where I could have been battling things and just not let myself accept it, right? Because to me, it was unacceptable. And I've had to learn as I've gotten older to be sympathetic to those things and to try to understand that one, not everybody sees it like me or is is built like me and that these things do truly exist not only in our culture but in the world period and um you know from listening to you

my homeboy and monday and monday said something monday right ryan ryan said something on his episode that i thought was so deep he said what people got to understand is what's good for black people can be good for all people. You know, and so I had to truly start getting out of that mindset of nah, you don't have to tough your way through everything. Like, you can talk to people. Like, you can, you are also

dealing with things. Because like, when I played, like, I was an undrafted dude, you know. I spent my first four years trying not to be cut. You know what I mean? And when those things happening happened, because grew up with a mom, I went to church every day. It wasn't, you know, you need to talk to somebody or you're dealing with something. I just got on my knees. I got in that book.

You know, like that was the way I dealt with it. So I am still like at my age, like I am still learning. And so honestly, when we have a Michael Beasley and are able to have that conversation, it truly helps me more than anything because it starts to let me know that these things are real. You know, you have to deal with them. People have to deal with them. And it's OK, because I truly felt like it wasn't even in my parenting. Like I've had to adjust, you know, as well. But I think and I say I'm the caveman of the crew. They're way more evolved than I am.

And I'm learning now. You know, the mental health awareness ain't been about 10 years now that it's really come to the forefront, maybe less. Especially in our community. Yeah, so you playing ball, you don't grind your whole life to be the 1% of 1%. You break your finger, tie it to the next one.

You dislocate your shoulder, pop it back in and go play. So we doing all this on the field to play ball, to make money. You the best of the best. You woke up sad. Like, I remember some guys just being like, man, I'm down. And you look at, bro, we got, let's go. Like, it's time to play.

This is a barbaric sport. You can't call in on Sunday. No, no, no, no, no. We got to, like, there's no off. There's no replacement for you. And he's worse than you. That's why he's your damn backup. So I think, like, that barbaric side of football especially, you know, basketball and things are different,

but football exactly. Physically, I have to see something wrong with you. If I see your bone pop out of your ankle, okay, bro, you can take a couple weeks off. You're depressed. What does that mean? Yeah. And when I played, I didn't understand it.

And I knew guys were going through stuff. I tell the story like Junior Seau, who took his own life. That was my homeboy. That was my dude. And i remember the day i saw it i called his phone and went to voicemail and i just broke down in tears and that it started clicking to me talking to ricky williams a lot post career and ricky explained it to me like i started really seeing like this is this could be bigger than a torn acl this could be life or death torn acl you miss nine months this could be life or death. Torn ACL, you miss nine months. This could be life or death when you talk to the mental side.

So I have come around from my barbaric and my, you know, caveman ways to really respecting. And when somebody says they're not feeling good, hey, I need some time. Let me call my homeboy and really talk with him and really break this down. So hopefully if my old country ass can do it, the whole league and the world will open up, especially black people, will open up and understand this could be bigger than something you can see. Something you can't see might be a bigger even than something you can watch walking towards you in the hallway. I wonder if it's easier to play football than it is a sport like basketball because of the fact,

you know, they always say hurt people hurt people. You can actually go out there and hurt somebody and you get paid for it. That's what you're supposed to do. Like, I wonder. To your point, to take a human being's physical person and not be concerned with it, if I hit him in his knee and it pops backwards and a bone pops out, good job. You'll get patted on the

back. That was a hell of a hit. You knock a dude to sleep, that was a hell of a hit, bro. So do you have to disconnect yourself from almost humanity to go out there on sunday because i can't look i can't admit well me and freddie he was always player when i played freddie i couldn't look at freddie freddie my homeboy my dog we both gators you know i know i know he's got kids i know he's me i know he's a happy you know happy dude if i get a chance to knock him to sleep i I have to do it. That's my job.

So I had to disconnect myself from the relationship and disconnect myself from human beings. I'm not walking in pubs, busting my head in nobody's chest down the seafood aisle. But when I get on the football field, the hell with you, the hell with you, the hell with you. If I don't do my job, I'm getting cut, and I'm going to lose my check. Did you put that much thought into it, though? Because I played since I was four, and it was just always the same thing.

You know, like we're going to play, and it was what it was. I'm in the backyard playing throw-up tackle with the homeboys. Yeah, I'm going to try to smash you through this fence, and, you know, hopefully your mom will go cook tonight, and we just go all eat together. And I think, I don't know, man, I just think, like for us, you know, I tell people all the time, like I only wanted one job my whole life and that was to play football. And I did it for free for so long that when they would pay me, like I was like, oh, this is this is what it's supposed to be.

And that was I think that was also played into it, though. Like we don't get to call out like we don't have holidays. Right. You working on Christmas. You know, Thanksgiving. Like, you know, you don't have sick days when I was when I was sick. You know, I'm like when I was was sick i went to work every day i couldn't stand up straight for a month but i went to work every day because they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me because that's what you're supposed to do and about 11 o'clock every day they'd send me home you know because i had a fever or whatever and so i think you know we were just always taught that if you ain't dead you got to be here and so i think for us though charlamagne

that crossed over mentally and emotionally as well it's like i can't go in here and tell these people i don't feel good i don't have it and i think that part played into it and the the physicality of it to me was was what defined you you know i mean like I felt like like I respect I can say this I respect Tougher individuals more than I respect talented individuals. You know I mean like it was some dudes that like this dude right here One of the most talented humans I've ever played against like you couldn't touch him in a phone booth But he was also a dog and like that was what I admired about him And I think when people constantly in our locker in our life in our world when people constantly applaud you for toughness it makes

you want it more like when i would put people to sleep you know i mean like they would love it and i was like oh that's all i gotta do is just run my face into his face and get up first i'll do that every single snap because that's what they're gonna pay pay me for. Man, I think what y'all do is so necessary. I don't think we'd be having these conversations with athletes and about athletes in this way if it wasn't for these kind of platforms. Because I don't think they would ever go on

ESPN or Fox Sports or anywhere and be that open and vulnerable as they are with y'all. Thank you, man. All the smoke, us, who's the other great ones? Million dollars worth of game Absolutely All I got We wouldn't be there

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.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.

Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

This is the Rumor Report. Talk to Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Well, while on Math Hoff, as my expert opinion, Fat Joe revealed that he has the Fat Joe show coming to stars. Here's what he had to say. Joe, you got a show coming out. I got breaking news. So every Sunday, eventually every Sunday after you watch BMF and Power, you're going to see the Fat Joe show. Oh, my God.

On Stars Network. The number one show. The number one. The number one. The number one. Listen, it's a lot of TV. It was a lot of channels trying to get this. Puff is my partner, and we chose there because that's primetime every Sunday. And so I can't tell you no more.

I already broke the news. Nobody ever heard of that. Why? Why? I like that. It makes a lot of sense. After you watch BMF Empower, you can see the Fat Joe show. Nobody ever heard that. Why? Why? I like that. It makes a lot of sense. After you watch BMF Empower, you can see the Fat Joe show. And it's true, right?

It's like after you watch BMF Empower on Starz, there's nothing there. So if you did a show afterwards and you're probably discussing what you just saw on the show, plus have some guests, it absolutely will work. Kind of like watch what happens live. A hundred percent. And salute to Mav Hoffa and him, too. I like what they're doing over there. Mav Hoff and my man Heineken.

All right. Now, LeBron James is saying that he might possibly have a podcast coming. He tweeted out, it's so funny to me how many basketball experts there are on this app. Then he said, jumping on someone's podcast soon. Maybe my own. LeBron just bought. LeBron watching them NBA finals. Okay, and he done played against Steph in what, three?

Three or four NBA finals, I think it was. I don't remember. He's just bored. I mean, if he did a podcast, it would go crazy immediately. He kind of got one already with the shop, though. Like, just put the shop out in all... I think the shop already comes out in audio form. Yeah, I'm sure it is an audio also. Yeah. The shop is a podcast. But he's not always

on it, right? Not always, but a lot. Yeah, but right now he can be on it you got plenty of time to be on it all right now kevin hart he has expanded his 2022 reality check tour and added 19 new dates so get ready for that it starts july 8th in atlantic city at the hard rock and it ends, this is a long tour, December 17th at Foxwoods Resort Casino. We didn't even say what podcast would we like to hear LeBron on though if he did do a podcast.

He said maybe his own. What would you like to hear him on? Actually haven't just talked to the Pivot podcast. The Pivot or All the Smoke. I think All the Smoke would be great. That would be good for him to be on there. Earn Your Leisure would be good for business. Yeah, because he has a lot of investments that he's done.

Him and Mads should do Earn Your Leisure together. He should do All the Smoke by himself. That'd be dope. All right. Benny the Butcher has dropped a song and a fundraiser for the Buffalo Mass Shooting Victims. So he's doing his part to help out. And his

Black Soprano family team has linked with designers Kat and Nolan Cartwright. So that limited edition t-shirt drop has 100% of the proceeds going to the Buffalo Survivors Fund. And that shirt will honor all 10 victims. Their names are on it. It's available now. It retails for $40 and they

only made 200 of them. So it's very limited. And Dave Chappelle has announced all the proceeds from his show in Buffalo will go to the families of the mass shooting victims as well. So he was performing at Chase Performing Arts Center in Buffalo and announced that at the end of the show as well. Okay. Also, he was supposed to be on Drink Champs with Blackstar. You know, Blackstar has a new album out, by the way, they want to come up here too. And the episode was supposed to be released on may 26 but according to page six dave said he wants to put the episode on hold because of all the recent tragedies in buffalo and uvalde texas

he just felt like the timing was not right for that and they said hold off slow down it's tone deaf to release something at this time what was he saying on drink champs that he thinks would be tone deaf well he just didn't want to put it out right now. I guess he just wants to wait. You know how sometimes something tragic happens if you have the opportunity to say, well, let's hold on. There's too much going on right now. And they filmed it before all of that

happened. So maybe he just wants to out of respect not do that right now. I can understand that. There's times I'm like, I don't want to do this post I'm supposed to do right now just because something just happened. I mean, but then you also, you know, might bring some relief to people.

You know, some people might want to throw on Drink Champs episode just to escape for a second. You know, listening to Donnell and Dave on Drink Champs with Blackstar might be to escape some folks' need. Yeah, and they said the episode was really focused on the release

of the Blackstar album, No Fair of Time and they were supposed to interview Blackstar and Dave just wanted to pop in and shout out Blackstar which he did do and

now they're saying they're talking about releasing the episode at a different time or also editing out Dave's part so we'll see what happens. Where's the Blackstar album at? Where did it get released at?

I think you can get it right now. I haven't seen it on those streaming services. I've looked. All right. Well, they want to come up here. But I think it might have to be. I don't know.

Thank you, Bailey Coleman. Dropping the Clues bombs for Bailey. You are appreciated. But just because I love your city, that means nothing this morning because donkey of the day does not discriminate. And today, Travis Lamar Berkeley must come to the front of the congregation. Let me tell you something, man. First of all, I'm looking at this man's mugshot and there is no way he's 34 years old. Okay. This man looks like he has only drank 64 ounces of water period in his old, his whole 34 years of existence. Okay. When you watch this later on

YouTube, you will see what I'm talking about. This is a 1969 looking 34 year old. Okay. He looks like he was in a group that started with the okay the whispers the four tops the temptations ain't nobody coming to see you oldest face ass all right does it make me a birther because i want to see this man's birth certificate i know stress will you know give a young man an old face but this man was born in 1988 allegedly 1988 the golden year of hip-hop and he looks older than every rapper that dropped that year okay he looks older than every rapper that dropped that year slick rick rock kim both members of the epmd krs1 dj jazzy jeff and the fresh prince i mean my god but that's not what we're here today to discuss we are

here today to discuss how wicked this world is and the pure evil that exists in some people and that leads us to travis lamar berkeley, he was arraigned on six counts of felony murder this past Sunday for allegedly and I'm only saying allegedly for legal purposes, killing six people during a botched robbery at a Milwaukee duplex in January. Six people. See, we have to start humanizing these stories because we read these headlines and, you know, we see the numbers. But you understand these are people like Angela Yee, Red, myself, Nick. I'm just pointing at the people in the room. Family members. Yes, that's four people. You listening and driving. That could be you. You that's going to watch on YouTube later. This could be you, you know, and that's how anxiety works.

You know, at least for me, when I hear stories like this, I always put myself in the position in the position of the victim okay never fails i start thinking about what if that was me and five people i love murdered because somebody just decided you know they wanted to rob one of us that day okay i try to give people grace and i think about things like uh mental health but when it's these plots like this when people premeditate things and plan things like robberies murders yes something is clearly mentally wrong with them, but you got to figure that out in prison. Because a person who will kill six people in a robbery gone bad doesn't care about me, you, your mama, and your cousin too.

He would do this to anyone, anywhere, so he needs to be off the street. Now, you know the six murders that old English face committed, that's just the top layer. See, this man with a prehistoric face profile not only admitted to his crime, but you know he couldn't leave the scene without a selfie. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to CBS 58 for the report, please. Cell phone tracking played a key role in finding Travis Berkley,

who police say took a selfie wearing one of the victim's glasses at the scene of the crime. The defendant took a photo of himself in the basement where three dead bodies were later located. The selfie shows the defendant wearing a pair of what appears to be expensive eyeglasses. Witnesses have told police that the defendant did not wear glasses. The criminal complaint says those glasses likely belonged to one of the victims.

Police say they were called out to 21st and Wright on January 23rd. Three bodies were found in the basement and three more upstairs, all in rigor mortis. Witnesses say Berkley apparently worked as security for drug deals that took place where it all happened. The complaint says one confidential witness told police Berkley had told him about the botched robbery. That witness was later recorded in a phone conversation talking about disposing the guns he said Berkley and his cousin had used during the shooting. Man, meek mill tweeted something

yesterday and it's so true he said you really got to be a warrior out here if you got something going for yourself as a black man y'all wouldn't understand it we do to stay alive and out of jail in our culture and still remain with a good head on our shoulders i totally agree okay the great pastor young jeezy that is once said every day is like a game call it fear factor and that's how it feels okay if you have a little bit more than the next man you a target all right this man travis lamar berkeley took the lives of six people six humans for some cash guns drugs and sunglasses and took a selfie with the sunglasses in the basement of the home where he killed these humans and left him there for three days on the day of the murder. What makes you, at 34 years old, as a black man,

decide to kill six other black people for some cash, guns, drugs, and sunglasses? Okay, it is very true when they say, when we don't know who to hate, we hate ourselves. And that hate for yourself will cause you to hate anyone who you cross paths with. And when you have this level of self-hate, you will erase anybody that looks like you would ease simply because you don't deem them worthy to live because you don't deem yourself worthy period now you're about to spend the rest of your life in prison you know and for what and

you took the life of six other black people for what some cash guns drugs and sunglasses please let Remy Ma give Travis Lamar Berkeley the biggest you stupid mother are you dumb and I don't know what those six uh people were into and I don't care you know I mean to reduce them to whatever they were into and say they deserved it because of what they what they were into that's dehumanizing them the same way that, you know, Travis Lamar Berkeley did. Right. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Man, please pray.

My brothers, my sisters pray for divine protection every day. Ask God to protect you from trouble wherever you go and keep evil far away from you because it is wicked out here. You hear me? I guess good news ended this morning. Well, yeah, I guess. All right, well, coming up next, we do have a guest. This is some good news, I would think. Deirdre Dixon.

Yes. She went through a lot just recently, though. She's the founder of The Honey Pot, and somebody did a TikTok claiming that The Honey Pot was sold. Yeah, it wasn't black-owned anymore. Yeah, it was not a black-owned company anymore. Which is a lot! And also discussing how they changed the ingredients

in their feminine washes and how it's no longer I guess organic and it's no longer plant based. So Beatrice is coming in today to address all of those things about the company that she founded. That's all my wife and daughter use is honey pot.

Can't wait to talk to Beatrice. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off the day, and we have some very special guests in the building.

Is it safe to say the founders of The Honey Pot? Yes. Okay, Beatrice Dixon, Desiree Natale, and Simon Gray. Good morning. Good morning. And Beatrice, this is your second time here. Yes. Yes.

All right. Same, similar situation. So let's get into it because it was a viral moment that happened, right? Somebody had posted that the Honey Pot had changed their feminine wash ingredients. Yes. And then I saw people saying, oh, you know, I felt like it was different. It was irritating, so on and so forth. And then you did offer an explanation. But let's talk about what happened with the Honey Pot while you did change the ingredients. Well, with the way that the global supply chain is set up right now, there's certain ingredients that just aren't available anymore because they're in high demand.

And so we needed to make some changes to our formulation to work with ingredients that were plentiful. I was saying the same thing where, you know, I have a coffee company, finding the tins, finding the lids, even at the juice bar, getting cups, honey, buying actual honey.

Yeah. And the juice bar has like went up in price, I think six times more than what it used to be. Yeah. So I know a lot of people are struggling with those. Like, are we raising the prices? Are we just going to make less of our product? What is it that we can do?

Right. I think one of the biggest issues people just wanted to know is the honey pot still black owned? Of course. Yeah. Yes. Now, why do people think it was sold? There's two reasons, right?

Because, you know, typically when you go into business and you're creating something on an enterprise level, right, you're going to get investors. Right. And every company that we know that we love and enjoy, especially from black founders, we have funds that are coming from people that don't look like us. That's the only way you can scale. That's it. That's the only way you can scale. It's frustrating having to wait. And so what's really frustrating is having this kind of conversation about us selling out. No, in order for us to produce what we have,

I mean, how many stores we're in, we need money. We need capital. We get it from where we can. And of course you guys know about private equity. And so we have private equity. And so we have to start changing this kind of this conversation, this metrics of what success is, especially for us. Right. Because we hold ourselves to this weird standard. Yeah. It's just people who don't know business because it's strange when people say things like, well, you don't ever see white companies do that. They do it all the time. That's all they do. That's literally all they do. Now, Beatrice, you did say that you wish you would have communicated. Absolutely. Absolutely. And the reason is, you know, we were out of stock for a few months because of global supply chain issues. So we had a whole campaign, a whole strategy

that was going to be able to launch. We were going to be able to communicate things properly at the same exact time. we were also just launching our new innovation in target right and so we were like you know what let's just go ahead and launch this these washes because we have them they're here no reason to be out of stock no reason to keep getting these complaints and because we launched new innovation at the same time as bringing this new formulation which was months before it was going to launch, we kind of put some focus on our new innovation because that's what you do. You have to. I think that we could have done a better job, but it was really just a quick decision that we made because we wanted to make sure that we could supply the demand. And this

is just the thing that happens, right? These are still plant derived ingredients. Absolutely. How did that make you feel as the face of your product to get attacked the way that you did online? Because I think people don't understand also when you're doing something that you feel like has been beneficial and you're trying to do the right thing. And then people may misinterpret or not understand what's happening and then come up with all these different things that has to be mentally really kind of traumatic. Yeah, it's been a it was a hard month, you know, but I'm just working on my energy and kind of my mental health to not take that in, you know, because I know that we're doing the right things. I know that even the day that we may or may not, I don't have a crystal ball, that we decide that we want to exit this company. Even that day, we would not sell out because you don't exit a company and just walk away.

That's not how it works. One of the main reasons why we would need to have some sort of a strategic, I don't even want to call it an exit, but a strategic partnership. Right. And that's not to say that I haven't said exit in the past because I have, but I think that a better way to look at it is like a strategic partnership. In order for a brand to be a billion dollar brand, not in valuation, but dollars, it takes a lot of money to do that. And not only does it take money, but it takes resources. honeypot makes cosmetics we

make medical devices we make over-the-counter drugs like we make a lot of stuff so there's a lot of regulations that have to happen in that there's a lot of humans that you need on the team there's just a lot of details that go into running a business something like shelf space shelf space i mean everything that you can who's really looking at ingredients like that and people do i mean i'm sure they do but then it turned into a whole narrative of them not being black owned no more how did they get that from ingredient changes yeah i don't know man you know it was one tick tock yeah one tick tock one tick tock a girl said they're not black-owned anymore. People just ran with it. Didn't question it. Wow. Didn't second think for, you know, our inboxes are blowing up.

People are posting. We can't control any of that. At a certain point, it was like the words out there that we're not black-owned. She has a million views. What are we going to do now? Wow. So the honeypot hasn't partnered with anybody? Strategically?

No. No. Not yet. That's so strange. Not yet, man. I wish. So let me ask you. Have's so strange. Not yet, man. I wish. Have y'all turned down anybody? No.

No, we just, we're not there yet. Yeah. It takes time. That's so weird for that attack to just come out of nowhere then. Yeah, it takes time to be able to do that. This is somebody was hating. I thought it was maybe a company y'all turned down and then, you know, they might have been trying to start something on social media, but it's just random. Yeah, I don't know. I thought it was maybe a company y'all turned down and then they might have been trying to

start something on social media, but it's just random. I know stranger things have happened, so I have to be honest. I have my theories. I want to hear some of them. You have theory theories. What do you think, Desi? Well, I think

historically there has been situations like this to where companies you know, companies did sell. And then, you know, people just thought that that must have been what happened. People jumped on something. They went on Google and Google search something. They looked at the first search and they said, oh, she must have sold. It's different. And like that was just kind of it.

There was no other strategic thought. And after that, it was just kind of a witch hunt. Honestly, that's what it felt like. Simon, give me a theory of a witch hunt, honestly. That's what it felt like. Simon, give me a theory. Come on. He has his ready. You better not say your theories. You better not say your theories.

We've been working hard for 10 years. And deservedly, there are just people that want to, you know, bring our brand down. I think that's really what it comes down to. We don't know, man. We don't know what happened.

We weren't there when those humans put their TikToks up. But the fact of the matter is it has not happened. In some ways, I wish it had. But not again, not because I'm, I'm just, I'm over it and I'm just ready to be done. And we're just ready to be, it's not that kind of, it's not that kind of party. All right. We have more with Beatrice Dixon, the founder of Honeypot coming up soon on The Breakfast

Club. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Anjali Yee. We're here with Beatrice Dixon, the founder of The Honeypot. Now, Yee, you got a question? Yeah, so Beatrice, I got to ask you, with all this controversy, did that affect your sales at all? Yeah, they softened a little bit.

And the thing is, is we had to make sure, you know, I pray to all the gods that, you know, that it's temporary. And it will be. Please, please, please support us, you know, that it's temporary and it will be. Please, please, please support us, you know, because we're doing really beautiful work. We're doing things the right way. We're doing things ethically. We're doing things with really beautiful intentions.

We're on it. We're focused. You know, we give this everything we have. We invest so much in the science behind our brand. Understanding what it is. Understanding how it works. Understanding how humans are reacting to it. Like, we're in it.

And the problem with that is the person who made the original TikTok isn't going to apologize. Oh, it's still up. Like, she knows fully well what she's spreading is misinformation and she's still going to keep that content up. She's going viral. She got a lot of views. There's people running ads off of this.. She's got a lot of views. Yeah, yeah. There's people running ads off of this.

Other businesses are running ads off of this. Is she black? Yes. Wow. See, we do it to ourselves. And I feel like you guys are so early with the natural ingredients and the plant-derived ingredients, because then I saw a lot of other companies emulating that afterwards. And that's what's crazy, right?

Like, this woman will go out of her way to make y'all get canceled. Y'all's sales go down. A white company will come, start selling the same type of products, the same plant-based everything, and people will support that with no problem. Black people will support it with no problem. And the crazy thing is they did it to protect black women. That was all the message we were getting of like,

I want to protect the black community, so I'm going to come after you. You're black women. We protect black women. That was all the message we were getting of like, I want to protect the black community. So I'm going to come after you. You're black women. We are black women. I like to have someone like cuss me out like that and be like, you don't appreciate black women. What's going on? What are some things you would say that from this whole experience that you've learned?

Because with everything that happens, that's a challenge to us. We also learn things from it. Yeah. I mean, i didn't know that this would take me out the way that it did but just that energy is a real thing this is what i personally learned from it to double down on taking care of myself look the whole source of this is because honeypot is a beloved brand all of this happened because we have a human customer who loves us, who's dedicated to us and who's invested in us.

And when there's love and dedication and investment, if things change, that can feel like a betrayal because we've been conditioned a certain way. And sometimes it is a betrayal. I'm not going to say that it's not. So making sure that whenever we do what we do, that we are cognizant, that we are talking to humans who love us, who support us, who are connected to us, and who are invested in us.

It was the black community that made Honeypot what it is. Yeah, Black Lash sucks, though. I call it Black Lash because when you're a black person, black-owned company, you know the struggles you've had to go through as a black entrepreneur and how hard you fight for us

and now you're getting black lash from your own people about not being black enough or selling out? Oh, my God. Yeah, it's hard. And I saw when you posted the whole explanation, right? But I feel like people did not go back and refer to that. They just kind of like ran with it because you went there, you sat down,

you even wrote it out because you were like, I do not want to mess this up or say anything wrong. And you wanted to make sure people understood everything that was going on. But it just feels like people never pick that up the way that they pick up the... People pick up what they want, sister. Some people don't want to understand.

That's right. And, you know, don't want to understand. That's right. And, you know, if you want to understand, then we've got something for you, right? We have the education. We have the chemists. We have, you know, we have the clinical trials. We've got the stuff. Right. That's not even a question.

But some people, that's not really what they want. And we cannot serve those people. And for everybody else who understands, who has empathy with us, just the way that we have empathy with them, then we can transact together. We can love each other. We can continue this relationship. And if there was any misstep or if there's any trust that we have to build back, we're here for that because we're committed. We don't do this because we're just trying to make money. The money is just a bystander.

We do this because we love humanity and because we want to help humans think about their vaginas and experience their vaginas and their traumas around it and the way that the world has taught us about vaginas. We want to be able to change that. And we have. Let's talk about the future. What's next for the honeypot? What are some products that we should be looking out for?

You need some stuff for men. Do you have some men's things? Yeah. It's in the pipeline, actually, in the future. Yeah. You know, but we just launched a new anti-itch line. There you go. I was thinking that.

Yep. Because it's getting hot out. Guys, get the bat wings and the stuff to their thighs. That's what it is? The anti-itch line? No. Oh. It's fake.

No, it's fake. It'll work. I mean. It'll work. It'll work. But it works. But we just launched an anti-itch line. It comes in a cream, a spray, a wipe, and then we have an anti-itch wash, but the spray,

the cream and the wipe are actually OTC, right? So they actually have pharmaceuticals in them. You know, the cream has hydrocortisone, the other ones have promoxine, but then the inactive ingredients are really beautiful botanical plant-derived ingredients. You know, we just launched some really beautiful lubricants. The other thing that we just launched this year, which is at Target, is our supplement line. So we have one called Yeast Balance. So that's for the person who has reoccurring yeast infections.

This has beautiful ingredients like garlic and powder arco. So we have our external products that you can use, but then if you're taking this by mouth, then it's kind of working from the inside out and helps you to be proactive. We have a probiotic that you can actually partner with that. And then we just launched a product for a cranberry supplement as well, which is really great for for helping with UTIs. And we can actually say that now, you know. So, yeah, we've got a lot of really cool stuff.

We just launched a Bergamot Rose wash, wipe, and spray. Yeah, so we're continuing to just do our work, keep our head down, you know, and just continuing to focus on our brand and how we want to continue to serve humans. And Desi's looking like, please say the website. So, go on and over us. Yes, and the website is thehoneypot.co.co yes.co instagram is the honeypot.co

yes twitter twitter the honey cop comp c-o-m-p at the end tiktok the honeypot.co all my wife and my daughter's feminine products are honeypot yeah they swear by it can i send you a box they would love that you'd make me a man in the house. Yes, we support it all the time. My pads, it's done up with the pads, with the honeypot pads. Yeah. I think it's important. We care about our vaginas so much. We do. Our vaginas and our vulvas

are our friends, man. The honeypot is still black owned. Yes. That's the biggest takeaway from this whole conversation. And the ingredients are still plant derived. Yes, they are. Well, thank you for coming to clear it up. I really am glad. You know, we reported on the story.

We played what you said on Instagram and everything. Absolutely. Aw, that was so nice. Thank you, guys. We had a whole discussion about supply chain and issues that we've been having. Even, like, with my pressed juices, I wasn't able to make any for so long, so I completely understand how difficult it's been. So we appreciate you for coming here.

I know it was a, I saw you like having posted since then. I'm like, she must have hopped right back off Instagram and social media. You got to stay vibrate on a high level. Yeah, yeah. You better than me because I'll be like, man, f*** out of here. Y'all ain't never opened up a lemonade stand. Y'all don't understand business. Period.

Well, Desiree, Simon, Beatrice, appreciate y'all. We will keep supporting the Honey Pot. Thank you.

Can't wait for these men's products to hit. Yeah. They need them because some guys don't know how to, especially if you're not circumcising the shmegma.

Jesus Christ, I'm right, G. No, I mean, it's a thing. It's a thing. You can use the feminine wipes on your shmegma. Yeah, you can. I love the words. I'm circumcised, Simon. I don't know why she's even looking over here.

I am circumcised, okay? It's just in case everybody needs to know. Just in case you need to know. It's the honey pot. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Hey, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.

Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off today, and it's time for Rumor Report. Let's talk about Candy Burst. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All right, well,

Candy Burrs and Todd Tucker are producing a Broadway show, and that Broadway show does star Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, and Danielle Brooks. So performances are set to begin Monday, September 19th,

and that's on Broadway. You know what a big deal that is? That's huge. Especially when you got Samuel L. Jackson. The piano lesson. And so they said, we couldn't be more honored and excited to join the producing team of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson as we continue to push to diversify the Broadway audience. This all-star team and

cast is a dream come true for our next venture on Broadway. Okay, okay. I like that. Now, you know, she was also one of the producers for thoughts of a colored man that premiered in October of 2021. It was the play that play was the first ever to start all black men. And it was also written,

directed and produced by an all black crew. Wow. Yeah. The candy and Todd. Yeah. And if you watch the real housewives of Atlanta, you can see them, uh,

you know, talking about the play coming to New York and all of that. So, yeah if you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta, you can see them, you know, talking about the play, coming to New York and all of that. So, yeah, I think that's dope. But you know what? Some people were mad about, on one of the episodes, she wanted her castmates

to try out vibrating underwear when they came to New York City. I saw that. That's a real thing? I mean, I don't know if I saw that on that show, but I saw something with somebody who had the remote control and they were doing that to people.

Was that real? Yeah. You want me to get you some? No, I'm cool on the vibrating underwear. Yeah, that's been a thing. I felt like vibrating panties have been around forever. That would be distracting, wouldn't it, though? That's the point, Charlamagne.

That's supposed to feel regular, like a normal day. But you're not supposed to be having orgasms any and everywhere why not why would you want to I guess it's something private with your partner like they have their remote and maybe you're at dinner

and then you're like alright then when you leave a mess on the seat who fault is that alright who gonna clean this up and Lori Harvey

has deleted all photos of Michael B. Jordan from her Instagram damn Michael B. Jordan from her Instagram. Damn, Michael B. God damn. You guys really reacted to that. Lord have mercy. How you do that to kill Manga? Oh my gosh.

So he does still have his photos and videos up. Lori Harvey said, that's y'all dream, man. It ain't mine. We really don't know what happened behind the scenes. This ain't funny, man. It's't mine. We really don't know what happened behind the scenes. This ain't funny, man. It's not funny. But God, Lori don't be playing, boy. Let me see if she archived them or deleted them.

Because if you archive it, there's a chance you could come back. But if it's deleted, there's no coming back from that. You think she hit them with the, you know, people come into your life for reasons, seasons, and lifetimes? So that was just a season? It's clearly just a couple seasons let me see because you know there's a big difference between archiving and deleting lord have mercy laurie boy laurie read all 102 posts up laurie really read all steve harvey books bro

all right and black thought has been honored with a mural in philadelphia and so they revealed that on thursday and it's on the side of the Clay Studio. It's a nonprofit art galley that showcases local art. It's really dope. So if you want to take a look at it, you can look at the Clay Studio PHI on their Instagram page if you want to see what that looks like. But he told the Philly Voice, this is huge for me to go from scaling buildings to get

a little bit of rep and tag my name somewhere that may never be seen, to having my face plastered on the side of this four-story building is pretty amazing. That's the stuff of legends. Salute to the God Black Thought. Alright, and last but not least, Fetty Wap was trying to enjoy some time on the

beach when he got pranked by a comedian, so imagine this happens to you. I'm sorry, brother. I'm so sorry, bro. Come on, dang it. That's all you have to say, bro. Listen, bro, we good now. We good.

I didn't know. I don't want no problems, bro. Bro, you got to understand. I'm by myself, bro. I know, I know, I know. I don't play like that, gang. I'm sorry, brother. But things almost went left there.

They got to stop that, man. Like, you know what I mean? I understand comedians trying to get content for social media, but you can't be playing with black men like that. Not right. Not ever. Yeah, you can't play with nobody like that. But I'm telling you, man, the things that go through black men's mind,

And just the way Michael looked at the game, I don't even know if he was sad or not. I just thought he looked sad because everybody else said he looked sad.
