you're in some change
but yeah
this Friday 10pm
Comedy Central
The God's Honest Truth
I hope you join us
yes
alright now
what's that in that jar
is that weed in a jar
oh
shout out to my guy Parnell.
Yesterday he gave me this weed infused tequila.
That's what that is?
Yeah.
It's weed infused tequila.
So I actually was with my girl Seven, Seven Streeter yesterday.
And Gigi McGuire from my podcast Lip Service.
So they tried it.
I was driving, so of course I didn't have it.
So at some point, I'm going to see what this is like.
I mean, those are two of my favorite things.
I would love to know how that makes you feel, but not on a random Tuesday.
Jesus Christ.
Well, I haven't tried it yet.
What's the name of it?
And it's smoking?
Is that smoke?
Oh, that's coming from your teeth.
Yeah, this is my teeth.
Yeah, he actually owns a restaurant in Long Island.
So he bought us some Haitian patties yesterday.
What are Haitian patties?
Like a beef patty, chicken patty, veggie patties.
So he bought me
some veggie patties,
chicken patties,
and beef patties
while we were
filming lip service.
And then he also bought this.
Weed infused tequila.
So he makes that himself,
I'm assuming.
Yeah, for his restaurant.
Wow.
Well, maybe not for his restaurant.
I'm not mad at it.
That's actually
very intriguing.
They said it was really good.
It looks very intriguing.
Like I said,
those are two of my favorite things.
I love tequila
and I love weed.
I don't like to smoke it.
I like to do it in an edible,
but you know.
And I've drank it though
because Wax got the lemonade.
So he got like the,
I don't know what you call it.
But is it CBD
or is it weed?
Wax weed, yeah.
Wax lemonade is weed.
THC.
I just wasn't sure.
Okay.
Because there's THC and CBD
in weed, right?
Yes.
You can have both of those things.
But this is the actual weed infused in here.
That looks quite tasty.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Or you guys can do a shot this morning.
I'm definitely not doing no shot on no random Tuesday.
There you go.
Yeah, this guy got pulled over out in the front of the building.
For real?
How did you get pulled over?
Oh, here we go.
They don't know you're a son of a cop?
They don't know you're a cop sucker?
Well, after I told them that, they let me go.
Oh, they did let you go?
Yeah.
Because let me tell you, the danger in pulling somebody like Envy over is you don't know
how he's going to act.
Hey, think about what you just said.
The cop is in danger pulling Envy over.
Yeah, he is.
That's how much of a cop sucker you are.
All right.
Because Envy would be like, you know who I am.
No, I didn't go through that.
I mean, they wanted license and registration.
And Envy would try to get you fired.
And you got your PD.
What's the thing called? PDA. Whatever the card called trying to get you fired. And you got your PDA. What's the thing called?
PDA?
Whatever the card called.
It was a card that family members got.
PBA.
Policeman Benevolent Association.
PBA card.
Yeah, I don't have one of those cards.
You don't?
I do.
And you're the son of a cop?
I'm going to tell you why.
And the nephew of a cop?
Here we go.
I'm going to tell you why.
Because, you know, people fake those PBA cards.
They make a lot of them a lot of times.
Really?
So my dad said,
if there's a problem, you call me.
I don't care what time it is in the morning,
if it's three in the morning,
four in the morning, five in the morning,
if there's a problem outside, you call me.
Well, Dad, I'm afraid to reach for my phone.
Okay.
All right, I'm sorry.
That's how it works.
You can't reach for the PBA card.
When they ask for your license,
you have to put it under it.
Yeah, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't,
but I just say, you know,
I just have a nice conversation.
My dad's on the job,
and then we have a conversation.
He asks, where does he work, and all that other stuff, but that wasn't that. It was, you know, I just have a nice conversation. My dad's on the job, and then we have a conversation. He asks, where does he work?
And all that other stuff.
But that wasn't that.
It was, you know, there's a lot of stolen cars out there,
and they possibly thought mine was stolen,
so they wanted to check the license registration.
And all that other stuff, so.
That's your beard, bro.
Your beard looks suspicious.
It's the beard.
That fake beard makes you look so suspicious.
But the funny thing about it is wax.
I don't know if you know wax.
Wax is, I don't want to say Charlemagne.
Security is the building.
That's my brother.
That's my brother, too.
If you know me, you know Wax.
Right, but he was there upstairs.
So when he ran up, I'm like, Wax, go away.
Go away.
You're making it worse.
Go away, Wax.
You're making it worse.
Lord have mercy.
You're making it worse.
Lord have mercy.
I'm surprised he even came in that direction.
It must have been the undercover car.
It was undercover.
See, that's why.
He didn't know what was going on.
Oh, my goodness.
Because people would be faking that.
They'd be acting like they're police and pulling people over and then, you know, trying to rob them and stuff. He didn't know what was going on. People be faking that. They be acting like they're policing, pulling
people over and then, you know, trying to rob
them and stuff. That happened to me one time too before.
Alright, well let's get the show cracking. Front page news
what we talking about? Well, yes, we are
going to talk about these COVID cases and
for kids in particular
we have set a new
record in the last week. Alright, we'll
get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Hey, morning everybody. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning
everybody. It's DJ Envy,
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the
Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news.
All right, let's
start off with some sports. Last night, NFL.
Monday night, football.
The Raiders beat the Ravens 33-27
in overtime.
All right, what else we got, Yeezy?
Well, let's do some COVID-19 updates.
Over 243,000 kids have tested positive in one week, and that is a new record.
So just 63% of Americans age 12 and up are fully vaccinated against COVID.
And this is the second highest week ever for pediatric cases.
Last week, kids accounted for 28.9% of the cases cases and they make up 22.2% of the population.
Just an FYI so you
guys can understand what these numbers are like.
It's just weird, you know what I mean? Because, you know,
throughout the whole pandemic
they were saying kids don't get COVID, kids don't get COVID,
kids don't get COVID, and they never really were marketing
the vaccine towards kids.
Well, they didn't say they don't get it. They just said that they
probably won't get as sick. Less likely
chance of getting it.
I remember them saying they were getting it.
But you also have to understand, in the beginning of the pandemic,
schools were closed, so kids weren't going to school.
They weren't interacting with each other.
People were on lockdown.
They were in the house.
Yeah, no, even though they were saying that kids don't really get it.
And then they were saying that with the new variant,
kids are getting it more.
But at first, they were making it seem like kids rarely get the COVID. But kids are also in school right now.
I mean, I think that's the main thing.
It's a lot of mixed messaging.
Yeah, my kids were in school last year, too.
Wait, you didn't take kids out of school during the pandemic?
I thought the schools were closed.
They were going half and half.
My kids were in school.
My kids did full day last year.
I thought everybody was on Zoom.
Yeah, mine would do half and half.
At the beginning of the pandemic, it was Zoom.
That's what I'm talking about, the beginning.
I thought everything was closed.
My kids went to school last year, the end of the year.
And they've never really targeted the vaccine to kids.
Well, yeah, they can't get it if you're under 12 right now.
They said October, right?
But even 12 to 16, they haven't really targeted.
You can get it if you're over 12.
All right, now the family of a man in Alabama
who died of heart issues,
they're urging people to get vaccinated.
He was turned away from 43 hospitals
in three different states because of these COVID cases taking up all of the ICU beds.
He had a heart attack. Local emergency staff started reaching out to hospitals. They were
trying to find a cardiac ICU bed for him. But unfortunately, Ray Martin Demonia of Coleman
died in a Mississippi hospital just three days before his 74th birthday. In the wake of his
death, his family is using his obituary to urge people to please get vaccinated. It says, All right.
So far, only 1.8 million people in Alabama have been fully vaccinated.
That's about 35% of the state's population.
And more island destinations have been added to the CDC's very high COVID-19 travel risk
list.
And that is Afghanistan, Albania, Belize, Grenada, Lithuania, Mauritius, St. Kitts
and Nevis, Serbia and Slovenia.
Afghanistan and Ireland?
Well, these are just different destinations as well, but also more island destinations, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, Serbia and Slovenia. Afghanistan and Ireland? Well, these are just different destinations as well,
but also more island destinations.
Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, Albania and Serbia.
So level four is the highest level.
That's the very high category on the evolving list of travel notices.
All right.
And that is your front page news.
Yeah.
And I don't know if you mentioned it.
Broadway opens today.
So Broadway will be open.
I'm not sure.
I'm sure you have to be vaccinated.
But today at 3 o'clock, they have that discounted ticket booth in Manhattan
where you can get discounted Broadway tickets.
It opens up today at 3.
So if you're a huge Broadway fan, Broadway is back today.
All right.
Get it off your chest.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself,
and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities
for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning, it's Katrina from Illinois.
Hey, Katrina from Illinois.
Get it off your chest.
So this morning, I want to get off my chest that, you know, this whole COVID vaccine.
I'm on for vaccines.
Me and my children get our vaccines.
But this whole COVID one, it's like the way they're pushing it.
You know, it's like a scare tactic to me.
Like, I want to wait at least a couple years before this is all i've tried and done
you know the side effects but the government is scaring our children i have an 11 year old and
he's like oh my god if i don't get it before i'm 20 am i gonna die and it's like you know it's
other ways to go about it instead of scaring people and the crazy part is you don't even
know what to tell your kids because we really we really truly don't know the side effects from
covid we know are pretty bad though though, for a lot of people.
They still studying those.
Like, you know, the long COVID, we don't know what that looks like.
Yeah, we were having a conversation yesterday with people.
I was talking to some of my friends who were like, yeah, man, I still can't breathe right.
Everybody got to stop acting like they know 100% what's going on.
Just use things off your experience. If you got the vaccine, great. Everybody got to stop acting like they know 100% what's going on. Nobody knows.
Just use things off your experience.
If you got the vaccine, great.
Tell people what the vaccine did to you, what it didn't do to you.
If you got COVID, tell people what COVID did to you, what it didn't do to you,
and let people make their own decisions.
You just don't want to be in the hospital with COVID wishing you would have got it, too.
Well, I will tell you this.
Most of my people that have messed up the worst never got the vaccine.
And I know a lot of people like that actually got COVID.
Like, I have two family members who died that were not vaccinated.
I've heard it all, though.
I've heard people that were vaccinated die.
People that were vaccinated get sick.
I've heard it all.
Like, everybody got different stories.
Hello, who's this?
What's going on?
It's Javante.
Hey, Javante.
Get it off your chest.
Honestly, I feel like family should be able to hold you down to a deeper core.
Okay.
But it seems like as time is progressing and all this stuff is happening,
we're separating and we're suffering.
All right, brother.
What's on your mind, though, brother?
You feel like you're beating around the bush.
What's really on your mind?
Honestly, I'm throwing my family under the bush.
The bus.
It's the bus, sir, not the bush. The bus. It's the bus, sir. Not the
bush. Well, maybe it's a bush for him.
The bush?
Yeah, a bush. You throw your family
under the bush? I've never heard that saying in my life.
He's using bushes.
It's from the south, you know.
I'm from the south. I've never
heard that. But go ahead, sir.
Charlamagne is different, sir. I'm sorry.
But what's the problem why are you
throwing them under the bush uh because my baby was born at 30 weeks and five days and they were
saying oh i'm gonna be there i'm gonna be there because my dad and my brother passed away but
my brother passed away from covid complications and as i'm dealing with all this i'm only 23
uh i'm paying all my bills by
myself. And your family's not
supporting you the way you think they should, is what you're saying?
No, not at all.
Okay. So what is it that you
need them to do financially?
Or you need them there with the baby?
You just need support, somebody to talk to? What do you need?
Somebody to talk to, honestly.
But it's like, they pick and choose
what they want to respond to.
They got a family group chat.
But it's on a
certain people. Okay.
Well, we're sending you and your family healing energy, King.
How's the baby doing?
How's the baby doing? The baby's actually
doing good. That's a blessing.
And you know, sometimes
it's, hey, you know, if
somebody doesn't want to help or they don't require what you need, you got to do it on your own.
You know what I mean?
And sometimes it ain't about looking at, damn, I wish they would.
I wish you just do it and show them that you could do it on your own.
Sometimes hopefully it gives you the inspiration to push through, you know?
Honestly, that's why I'm out here.
I just got off a 12-hour shift and I'm doing Uber after this.
There you go.
There you go.
I love that.
They'll call you later on and ask you for something, and you just give them that same energy.
Hey, I got to.
You know, I got to talk to y'all.
I do the same.
I was just actually driving around.
I do the same.
We're sending you healing energy, King.
Yeah, hey, Charlamagne, I'm going to meet you one day.
I hope so, my brother.
All right, bro.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
We got rumors on the way?
Yes, and since we've been talking about vaccinations
and, you know, who's getting vaxxed, who's not,
let's talk about Nicki Minaj versus Joy and Reed.
All right.
We'll do that when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
It's time.
She's spilling the tea.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, Nicki Minaj was on social media and she was explaining that she got COVID while getting ready for the MTV Video Music Awards.
She said, I was prepping for VMAs and I shot a video.
And guess who got COVID?
Do you know what it is not to be able to kiss or hold your tiny baby for over a week? A baby
who was only used to his mama
get that and then she said
Drake told me he got COVID with
the vaccine though so child and then
somebody responded
to that and they said Nikki the
vaccine doesn't prevent getting
COVID it prevents you from getting serious
symptoms. Non-vaccinated people are 11 times
more likely to pass away from COVID than vaccinated.
She responded, babe, that's not true.
I had the exact same symptoms as people with the damn vaccine.
She said they want you to get vaccinated for the Met.
If I get vaccinated, it won't be for the Met.
It'll be once I feel I've done enough research.
I'm working on that now.
In the meantime, my loves, be safe.
Wear the mask with two strings that grips your head and face.
Not that loose one.
Then she
goes on to say, my cousin in Trinidad won't get the vaccine because his friend got it and became
impotent. His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married. Now the girl
called off the wedding. So just pray on it and make sure you're comfortable with your decision
and not bullied. And then one person said, I had to get the vaccine because they won't let me look
for a job or get a job and to earn some money.
And, you know, I'm unsure about getting the second vaccine.
And she responded, I know, babe, a lot of countries won't let people work without the vaccine.
I definitely recommend they get the vaccine.
They have to feed their families.
I'm sure I'll be vaccinated as well because I have to go on tour, et cetera.
Well, Joanne Reed responded to Nicki Minaj's tweets on the COVID vaccine.
And here's what she had to say on MSNBC.
People like Nicki Minaj, I have to say this.
You have a platform, sister, that is 22 million followers.
For you to use your platform to encourage our community to not protect themselves and save their lives.
My God, sister, you could do better than that.
It's a blessing that you got that.
That people listen
to you and they listen to you more they listen to me for you to use your platform to put people
in the position of dying from a disease they don't have to die from oh my god as a fan as a
hip-hop fan as somebody who was your fan i'm so sad i respect joanne reed she's the homie but she
missed the real moment to teach yesterday because Nikki never said don't take the vaccine.
She spoke on why she has vaccine hesitancy, but she also in the very next tweet said she will probably get vaccinated to go on tour.
Like Joy could have used that moment on our show to correct Nikki on whatever misinformation she put out.
And she could have said Nikki Minaj is encouraging people to do their research about the vaccine.
Nikki put up a poll asking what's the best vaccine. Nikki said Drake is vaccinated and she's going to get vaccinated
to go on tour.
So if Drake is vaccinated
and Nikki wants to get vaccinated,
why aren't you?
That's what Joy could have done.
You can't vaccinate
vaccination shame people,
though, either.
You got to allow people
to make it when they want
to make their own decision.
This is something that's new.
This is something
that we don't know about.
Every other day,
something changes.
Something is different.
We don't know about how this affects. Wear a double mask. Wear a triple mask. Don't wear a mask. You can go out. No, you can't know about. Every other day, something changes. Something is different. We don't know about how this affects.
Wear a double mask.
Wear a triple mask.
Don't wear a mask.
You can go out.
No, you can't go out.
Nobody knows.
And that's her decision and her choice.
Nicki Minaj responded to Joy Ann Reid.
She said, this is what happens when you're so thirsty to down another black woman by the request of the white man that you didn't bother to read all my tweets.
My God, sister, do better.
Imagine getting your dumb ass on TV a minute after a tweet to spread a false narrative about a black woman. I mean, yeah, I mean, it could have been a real teachable
moment. Instead, it turned into the verses that
we don't need. Like, I really hate how we live in
this era where everything has to be
a versus. Like, Joanne Reid versus
Nicki Minaj. Why? If you see someone
might have some misinformation, school
them. And when you have a platform that can
control a narrative, put the narrative out there that you
want. Because this could have been a moment to encourage folks
to get the vaccine. Because the biggest rapper in the world, Drake, narrative out there that you want, because this could have been a moment to encourage folks to get the vaccine
because the biggest rapper in the world, Drake, is vaccinated.
And Nicki said she wants to get vaccinated.
Like, why not focus on that?
She then posted an old post from Joanne Reed, and she said,
a lying homophobic coon.
I guess I can join in the reindeer games, too.
People can go on TV and lie on me.
I can report on them, too, right?
It doesn't have to be truth.
It can be half truth.
Uncle Tamiana asked,
who on earth would trust the U.S. FDA guys?
And the post from Joanne Reed said,
I mean, will anyone ever fully trust the CDC government again?
And who on God's earth would trust
a vaccine approved by the FDA?
How do we get a vaccine distributed
after this broken Trumpist nonsense
has infected everything, even if Biden wins?
And that's why you got to have more grace
because just some months ago, that's how she felt.
And there's still some people who feel like that.
So why not use these moments to teach instead of bash each other?
All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
All right. We got front page news next. What are we talking about?
Well, yeah. And let's talk about some unfortunate situations.
We'll tell you about two different couples who passed away recently,
very close in time to each other, leaving behind multiple children.
Yeah, this was so sad.
I heard that story yesterday.
We'll get into it next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Wow, we got some new music.
Number one song in the country.
Drake's.
Number one song on the Billboard charts.
I mean, you knew that, though, as soon as you heard the record.
As soon as you heard the record.
As soon as you heard the album, you knew that was going to be the one.
Yeah, but we played it.
That's new.
All right.
Well, let's get into front page news.
It's Monday Night Football.
The Raiders beat the Ravens 33-27 in overtime.
What else we got, Yeezy?
All right.
Well, the family of a Detroit couple with seven children. This is so sad.
They are grieving.
Both the parents were infected with COVID and died less than a day apart.
Troy and Charlotte Green, they were married for 22 years.
They were planning to go to Florida with their seven kids in August.
And according to Troy's sister, Tiki Green, she said that the mother died from COVID in May.
Wasn't she pregnant when she died?
Well, this is a different couple.
A different one?
Yeah, I'm going to give you both.
So, Charlotte had went ahead with the kids and her sister because the dad actually decided to stay back in Detroit.
He felt sick and he wanted to stay there until he felt better.
Within two days, the mother, Charlotte, was bedridden and taken to a hospital in the Orlando area in Detroit.
Troy was experiencing breathing problems. He got worse by the day. He then was admitted to a hospital in the Orlando area in Detroit. Troy was experiencing breathing problems.
He got worse by the day.
He then was admitted to the hospital in Detroit.
They both ended up on ventilators.
The virus damaged Charlotte's lungs.
Both of them suffered from diabetes.
She started to improve, and so did he.
Then he had his ventilator removed, was discharged.
But then down in Florida, she took a turn for the worse.
They said she had a blood clot and when he found out
about her status he started having chest pains
and then he died from a heart attack.
So both of them passed away
and they left behind seven
children. I didn't even hear about that one.
I heard about the one in California. Yeah, we're doing that one
now. Were they vaccinated? No, they were not
vaccinated. They said they were planning to get
the vaccine but hadn't found the time to do so
and all the couple's children who are eligible to get the vaccine do have it. So the kids are now
at home. They're being cared for by the older children. As far as support, the aunt and uncles
are doing it and making sure the bills are paid. Now in California, a couple died of COVID just
weeks apart, and they had five kids, including a newborn, Daniel and Davey Macias. They spent 18 months being very cautious about COVID.
They wiped down surfaces, showered after work, had their groceries delivered, but they still ended up getting the virus.
Now, she was seven months pregnant with her fifth child in early August when she was hospitalized with COVID.
He also, her husband also contracted the virus.
And they helped her deliver the baby by C-section while she was intubated.
But then she died before she could even meet her baby.
Now, Daniel Macias was being treated in the same hospital when he learned about the birth of his daughter.
They did show him pictures of the baby.
And then he, too, also passed away from complications of the virus.
Less than two weeks later, leaving the newborn girl without parents or a name.
And they both never met the baby, right?
Right.
The family now calls the young girl baby girl.
The couple was unvaccinated.
And they do leave behind kids ranging in age from three weeks to eight years old.
And it wasn't that they didn't want to be vaccinated.
They did plan on it.
But she was very adamant this was a personal choice.
And each of them wanted to learn more about its safety prior
to getting vaccinated.
I read that she was unvaccinated
because she was pregnant. He was a teacher too.
That's what it said on NBC News. Yeah, that's what I heard too.
Right, but you know, I do have a friend
who just had a baby and she actually ended up getting
vaccinated. They told her that it would
actually be good for her to get vaccinated because
the baby would also have the antibodies as well.
But that is a scary decision to make. You know you know again if you're pregnant and a personal decision
that's a tough one my wife is pregnant he is pregnant and what do doctors say about that we
we actually got vaccinated before we knew she was pregnant okay so before we knew she was pregnant
but we just didn't know but we she got vaccinated before that all right well that is your front page
news very sad stories and our hearts do go out to those families, those children.
And I know both those families have GoFundMes, too,
so if you want to Google the story and definitely check it out,
I think one was raised over $180,000, but yikes.
Definitely sending both those families healing energy.
Mm-hmm. All right.
All right, now, Britney Spears.
What's going on with Britney Spears, Yeezy?
Well, Britney Spears, her's going on with Britney Spears, Yeezy? Well, Britney Spears, her fiance, actually responded to concerns.
You know, she's engaged now to Sam Asghari.
And they broke that news on the Internet on Sunday.
They shared some Instagram posts announcing the news of their engagement.
And she posted her ring and she wrote, I can't effing believe it, with a bunch of ring and heart emojis.
Now, Octavia Spencer said said make him sign a prenup
and then he responded on his instagram story thank you everyone who was concerned about the
prenup of course we're getting ironclad prenup to protect my jeep and shoe collection in case
she dumps me one day all right well let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 uh for you married

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

Have grace with yourself.

It's topic time.
Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion
with The Breakfast Club.
Let's talk about it.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy,
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
The Breakfast Club. Now, if you
just joined us, we're talking about Britney Spears. Now,
what happened with Britney? Well, she is
engaged right now, and Octavia
Spencer had posted,
make him sign a prenup, and
then her fiance, Sam Asgari, responded,
thank you, everyone who was concerned about the prenup.
Of course, we're getting ironclad prenup to protect my Jeep and shoe collection in case she dumps me one day.
So we're asking 800-585-1051.
If you're married, do you have a prenup?
Or if you're about to get married, do you want a prenup?
All right.
Now, Yee, would you want a prenup when you got married?
Yeah.
Hands down?
Yeah.
Why?
But if the person you get married to says no, he doesn't want a prenup,
then I guess he doesn't want to get married.
So that's a deal breaker for you?
I mean, I think right now, like, I own, you know, five properties.
I have a lot of things going on.
So you do want to protect yourself at the same time.
And then I'm sure whatever he has, you know, he'll want to.
I'm fine with that.
Like, keep your stuff.
I'll keep my stuff.
And a prenup, you can put whatever you want in it.
So however you guys decide to structure your deal, you do. But it is
still a business when
you get married. That's why you have to sign an actual
contract. Yeah, I've
been married for 20 years. My wife was
15. I was 16 when we first met and
started going out. There is no prenup.
My wife actually had more than me when we got married.
It was just the last thing on our mind.
But if something happened and I got married again,
I would definitely get a prenup.
But just from that, there's no way I have one.
I know Charlamagne.
I'm sure you don't have one.
Same.
Me and my wife have been together 23 years.
You know what I'm saying?
We've been married since, what, 2014.
We got three kids together.
Same exact situation.
When I was getting fired from radio all those times,
she was holding things down.
You know what I mean?
It was times that we were getting evicted out of apartments and she had to go down to the courthouse and tell the judge, you know, why they shouldn't kick us out.
So, yeah, what's mine is absolutely positively hers.
Goddamn right.
She actually knows more about all our finances and everything more than me.
Yeah.
That's just the truth to the matter.
Like when my financial people,
Salute the Humble and Laura, they talking to her.
She's definitely
the CEO. I work for her.
Hello, who's this?
Hello, this is Lewis from Queens.
How y'all doing this morning? Lewis from Queens. What's up, brother?
Yeah, man, listen.
Prenups, I'm all for it, but my lady
says it causes trust issues.
So, I don't know. We're still
on the rocks with that one, man. Really?
Yeah, I don't know what's gonna happen
with this marriage, but, you know.
Y'all are engaged right now?
Yeah, we're engaged right now, yeah.
How long we are together prior to being engaged?
Uh, we were together since
2012 of November.
Oh, nine years. That's a long time.
Yeah, yeah, it's a long time. So, Amy, you having another baby? Yeah. Baby's of November. Oh, nine years. That's a long time. Yeah, yeah, it's a long time.
So, Emie, you having another baby?
Yeah, baby's due in November.
Golly, God bless you, brother.
You got a whole village.
Yeah, I mean, I love, I ain't gonna front.
I love my kids, man.
I love them, those smiles, that feeling when you walk in at home
and them kids running up to you.
Ain't a better feeling.
It's not a better feeling in the world.
I got a son, yeah, that's true.
Yo, God bless y'all, man.
Thank y'all for everything y'all do, man.
I mean, I'm done after this one, though, for sure, for sure.
You said that last time.
I know, but I'm going to have to snip.
Yeah, I remember he did say that last time.
He actually said that the third time.
I probably did, but I'm going to snip this time.
Hey, as soon as I get a crib, I'm going to shoot up the club, too.
All right, there you go, brother.
You want me to do the snip for you?
What? I'll measure twice. I only got to shoot up the club, too. All right. There you go, brother. You want me to do the snip for you? What?
I'll measure twice.
I only got to cut once.
What's wrong with you?
What?
You're not doing no snip for me.
What?
You're not even a doctor like that.
I am Dr. Lenard McKelvey.
No.
Okay, I have an honorary degree from South Carolina State.
No way.
Okay.
Hello, who's this?
It'll go viral.
Hey, what's up?
This Sha.
What?
This Sha.
Oh, Sha.
What's happening, Sha?
Ain't nothing. What's going on with you guys? You sound like a kid yourself. What you mean we doing? We up? This Sha. What? This Sha. Oh, Sha. What's happening, Sha? Ain't nothing.
What's going on with you guys?
You sound like a kid yourself.
What you mean we doing?
We doing radio, Sha.
I get that a lot.
I'll be 29 in December.
Now, Sha says you've been married six years.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
What's her name?
Her name is Brianna.
Okay.
You and Brianna don't have a prenup?
Nah.
Okay.
Why not?
Because we started from nothing. We got together when we were 16. Okay. And we started with nothing. We don't have a prenup? Nah. Okay, why not? Because we started from nothing.
We got together when we were 16.
Okay.
And, like, we started with nothing.
We didn't have nothing.
And now we have four kids.
And I feel like if I come up, I'm going to want to split that with her.
Even if we do decide to get a divorce, like, she held me down.
I'm not going to have anything.
So it's like I would rather – I would give back.
And a prenup is basically – you basically sign yourself up for my marriage not to work if you decide to get a prenup because that's
already stating that my marriage is not going to work.
So I want to make sure I'm leaving with what I came with.
Y'all have four kids?
Yeah.
Right.
I mean, I guess nobody gets married with the intention of one.
I do.
He wants to know how y'all got kids.
Y'all adopted, right?
He wanted to know how we got kids. That's true. So to know how y'all got kids. Y'all adopted, right? He wanted to know
how we got kids,
that's true.
So,
he was a family friend
for me.
My wife,
we had to go to
a fertility clinic
with her
because she's
borderline PCOS.
What is that?
What's PCOS?
PCOS.
So,
PCOS is when
you're borderline infertile.
Oh,
got you,
got you,
got you.
So,
y'all both got pregnant?
Yeah, so I had two, she had two.
At the same time?
Oh, yeah.
That's dope.
That's dope.
Oh, so y'all had twins?
Y'all carried twins at the same time?
No, no, we didn't.
So she had our first girlfriend,
and then I had our second daughter,
and then I had our first son,
and then she had our second son.
Wow.
That's dope.
That's hard.
Y'all need a reality show.
That's dope.
At least a docu-series, something. Everybody say that. Everybody say that second son. Wow. That's dope. That's hard. Y'all need a reality show. At least a docu-series.
Everybody say that.
Everybody say that, man.
Wow.
So y'all had to help each other during the pregnancy,
because usually, you know, you got to help your wife
and go into the store,
so y'all both had to do everything together.
Oh, yeah.
And then when we had our two sons,
it was like we were pregnant at the same time for a little bit,
and her home was through the roof.
Now, hold on.
Did y'all have postpartum together?
No.
Thank God.
All right.
Well, thank you, y'all.
No problem.
Y'all have a good day.
That's an amazing story.
I will say, though, I don't think anybody ever gets married with the intention of getting divorced.
But life does, unfortunately, sometimes happen.
So I don't think it's necessarily setting yourself up for failure, per se. But, you know, unfortunately, sometimes things do happen. So I don't think it's necessarily setting yourself up for failure per se. But,
you know, unfortunately, sometimes things do happen. So nobody's like, I'm going to get
married and then I'm going to do a prenup and get divorced. But I mean, you can feel like it starts
with negativity, you know, right before the marriage, you set yourself up. But if it does
happen, you know, like nobody sets up a business thinking it's not going to work. You know,
you just have to be prepared for the worst case scenario always.
800-585-1051.
We're talking prenups this morning.
Are you getting one?
Do you have one?
Let's talk about it.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.

800-585-1051.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Britney Spears.
And what's going on with Britney Yee?
Well, she's engaged.
And Octavia Spencer wrote, make him sign a prenup.
And he responded on his Instagram story. Sam Asghari said, thank you, everyone who's concerned about the prenup. Of course, we're make him sign a prenup. And he responded on his Instagram story.
Sam Asghari said, thank you, everyone who's concerned about the prenup.
Of course, we're getting ironclad prenup to protect my Jeep and shoe collection in case she dumps me one day.
All right, so we're asking 800-585-1051.
Do you have a prenup or are you getting one?
Hello, who's this?
Charles, I called in on Friday.
Hey, Charles, what's going on, bro?
What's going on with you?
We're asking, do you have a prenup, brother?
No, we do not.
Why do you say that so sternly?
We're not judging you.
We don't have a meeting.
No, I say it, man, because it's actually amazing to me.
My wife is a doctor, and she pulled up on me and proposed to me,
and you would think like, hey, let's get a prenup so if something ever happens, I'm not entitled to half of what she brings to the table.
Okay, but she's...
I respect it.
What do you do?
Actually, I just got medically retired
because I'm all busted up from a work injury.
Okay.
So let me ask you a question.
13 years of work experience and everything, you know?
So let me ask you a question.
I'm sure, you know, not only is she a doctor,
she's like the CEO of the household, I'm sure, right?
Of course.
And that's what it is, man.
It's just like, yo, women deserve it all, man.
Especially if they've been down with you when you didn't have nothing, you know?
Right.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, good morning, good morning, good morning.
Good morning, good morning, good morning.
What's your name?
My name's Kiera.
Hey, Kiera, we're asking would you get a prenup?
No, sir, no, sir. Why not? I, would you get a prenup? No, sir.
No, sir.
Why not?
I just feel like it should be a teamwork type of thing.
I mean, we got together.
We got married.
You know, if everything failed, then you don't get nothing.
I don't get nothing.
It should just be just like that.
I don't need to sign no prenup.
Okay.
All right.
Well, thank you.
Hope it works out.
I appreciate that.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Marquise from Houston, man.
What's up?
Marquise, what's up?
What's up, Marquise?
We're talking prenups this morning.
You have a prenup.
Are you getting one?
No, I'm not getting one for two reasons, man.
Why?
The first one is because I feel like if you got a prenup, you're already waiting on the
side chick to come take the main road.
What?
Explain, sir.
Explain.
You're planning for it to fail already.
I don't agree with that.
I mean, because something, I mean, it's, you know, it's business.
There are no permanent friends and enemies when it comes to business.
Marriage shouldn't be like that.
But, I mean, it is.
Have you ever done something that you thought was going to work and it didn't in life?
Oh, yeah, for sure.
But that was just a girlfriend. But when it comes to to a marriage i feel like a man who finds a wife
finds a good thing i agree see i'm trying to be like envy you know he's still married he got the
kids they still doing wonderful so you know that's how i gotta be yeah i mean it takes a lot of
communication a lot of work but you just got to be able to put the work in and make sure you know
but like i said i've been with my wife since she was 15 60 we've been married 20 been together over 26 years but you know it's it's there's no prenup and we weren't
even thinking about prenup at that age i didn't even know what a prenup was at 15 you gotta wake
up every single day and fight for that marriage just like you wanted it the first time yeah that's
right and you know like you know if you've been with your woman for a long time like me and me
and evie both been with our women for a long period of time been with my woman 23 years like
she was down with me.
She literally drove me to the radio station in 1998 to fill out internship papers.
She drove me to Z93 in Charleston to fill out the internship papers.
I wonder if you ever signed a prenup with that.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And we got three daughters.
Y'all have a good day, man.
Thank you.
What's the moral of the story?
The moral of the story is I hope I don't ever get divorced.
Not because of the money aspect.
It's because I don't ever want to get divorced.
I love my wife.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Goddamn right.
But if something did happen and I had to get married again, I would definitely get a prenup
next, but not my wife.
We've been together too long.
Like, what's her name?
First of all, God forbid that ever happens, but I know for a fact I'm never getting married.
Yeah, me neither.
I would never get married again.
You ever see this movie on Netflix called Marriage Story?
Yeah, I didn't get married
in it either.
Would you be a whore?
I'd use my hand.
We got rumors on the way.
This is a serious question.
If you did,
God forbid,
get a divorce,
would you try to
hop back out
in these streets?
Nah.
Nah.
I'd have to try
Essence Fest one time.
I'm 43 now.
I'd have to try.

Alright, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Well, Bill Maher is upset about the NFL's decision to play Lift Every Voice and Sing,
which is the black national anthem.
He doesn't like that Alicia Keys actually performed that song ahead of the Star Spangled Banner
at the opening game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Buccaneers last Thursday.
Who cares what Bill Maher don't like?
Now here is his thinking.
I think when you go down a road where you're having two different national anthems,
colleges sometimes now have, many of them have different graduation ceremonies
for black and white, separate dorms.
This is what I mean, segregation.
You've inverted the idea.
We're going back to that under a different name.
I remember when Bill Maher used to be way smarter.
And I wonder, does Bill Maher understand that the reason
the Black National Anthem was created in the first
place was because of segregation? It was written
in the 1900s, and it was
a hopeful appeal for the liberty
of Black Americans. It was a rallying cry
during the Civil Rights Movement. And guess what? In 2021,
we are still appealing for certain civil
liberties, so we should have never stopped singing the
song in the first place because of what it represents.
He also said now maybe we should get rid of our national anthem, but I think we should have one national anthem.
Well, America has never given us a real reason, you know, to sing their national anthem.
Until what the national anthem is about applies to all Americans, the national anthem is null and void.
And Bill needs to relax before he gets introduced to the other black national anthem.
Nuck if you buck.
Okay?
All right, now Gabrielle Union
has a new book out today,
You Got Anything Stronger?
It's a follow-up to her 2017
best-selling memoir,
We're Going to Need More Time.
And she released an excerpt yesterday
and she talks about her journey
with surrogacy.
She said,
I have been through an adenomyosis diagnosis
and more miscarriages than I could confidently count.
I wanted the experience of being pregnant to watch my body expand and shift to accommodate this miracle inside me.
I also wanted the experience of being publicly pregnant.
I would shake off the distrust society has for women who, for whatever reason, by choice or by nature, do not have babies.
I had paid the cost of that for years and I wanted something for it.
And she said the experience of Dwayne having a baby so easily while I was unable to left my soul not just broken into pieces, but shattered into fine dust scattering in the wind. So she said at
the top of the surrogate food chain were married white American women who have their own kids.
The belief is that if they are married, they have a built in support system. And if they have more
than one child, there's proof they can do the job. On the message boards, people can be
anonymous, so they rank surrogates by race. I got the sense a lot of white families to be more
comfortable with brown people as surrogates, Latina and South Asian who were often classified
as breeders. Now, I am black, and I'm used to hearing how people speak of women of color,
but this was some Handmaid's Tale-ish.
So she talks about the early stages of that process and answering different questions about prerequisites and so on and so forth.
And then she said when she met the prospective surrogate, Natalie, she said the door opened like a blind date.
You look everywhere at once knowing you are being looked at, too.
The first thing I noticed was a nose ring.
Oh, I thought she's a cool ass white girl.
So then she talked about how the first ultrasound went and after Natalie became pregnant and so on and so forth and she said she was emotional after remembering how many miscarriages she had endured
before that moment and she said I say the following with the caveat that I am steadfast and being pro
choice I was on a fertility journey at 44. The smallest cell was weighted with the expectation of life.
And she goes on to talk about, you know, miscarrying in the first trimester and so on.
And, you know, sounds like a good read, though.
Absolutely.
And that book is out today.
I actually just recently did a Facebook audio room, and it was about motherhood and people's different experiences with being pregnant, trying to be pregnant, adopting.
And so I know a lot of women have different stories that they go through.
I never thought about that.
When you pick a surrogate, do you pick a surrogate that you feel looks like you?
Does it even matter?
I never thought about it until you just mentioned that.
All right.
Now, Nick Cannon, a lot of people were confused about his outfit at the VMAs.
And so now he has addressed some social
media gossip. And apparently he is going as his alter ego. He said, why would I go to the VMAs
like this? I heard this some corny new rapper named Murder Count Harlem. I see no resemblance
respectfully. And so apparently this is his new alter ego. Nick has an alter ego?
He said, usually I don't address this social media gossip,
but after my name was trending worldwide again for something I didn't do,
I have to say, y'all tripping on this.
I have a brand new talk show coming out September 27th.
Why would I go to the VMAs like this?
So his alter ego is a whack rapper?
He's saying that's not him.
I didn't think that was him either.
People were like, you know, Nick Cannon,
but he's saying why would he go out like that? I did not think that was Nick Cannon. People were like, you know, Nick Cannon, but he's saying, why would he go out like that?
I did not think that was Nick Cannon.
I thought that that was somebody who just looked like Nick Cannon.
I really did not think it was Nick Cannon. I didn't even think
about it. So I was trying to see who is Murder
Count Harlem. Who is that? So I was Googling
who is this rapper.
Clearly he's from Harlem. Well, maybe not. Memphis Bleak's
not from Memphis. That is true.
Alright. And, you know,
there was a report that Jeff Bezos and Jay-Z are potential suitors to buy the Broncos.
And according to the reports, the expected purchase price will be $4 billion for anybody who decides to do that.
And I also am seeing that franchise values are going to skyrocket because of legalized gambling.
And so it could be a great investment.
But now there's reports saying that Jay-Z is not in the running to buy the
Broncos.
How does that work?
You're a huge Cowboy fan, but you buy the Broncos.
An investment?
It's business.
Yeah.
But you got to root for your Broncos because you want them to win.
It's just business.
It's business.
It's business, never personal.
You can still love your Cowboys personally, but you own the Broncos.
It's business.
Yeah. If it's a great investment and your Cowboys aren, but you own the Broncos. It's a business. Yeah.
If it's a great investment and your Cowboys aren't up for sale,
well, then, you know, it might make sense.
But they're saying this team is expected to be up for sale next year.
And despite these reports,
they said Jay-Z is not looking to purchase the team.
If that opportunity arises next year,
they said it's not true according to a source close to the situation.
But I've been seeing both,
so I don't know what's true and what's not.
I'm glad you're acknowledging that Jay-Z
is indeed a Cowboys fan, too.
Dropping the clues bombs for Cowboy Nation, damn it.
But what does that mean?
You lost week one.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
So did you.
And your team's still...
You're a Giants fan.
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
And your team's still trash.
And you're a Jets fan.
And didn't they both lose?
I'm a Giants fan.
I don't know what happened
with the Jets over the weekend.
Yeah, but let the Jets go
7-1
and the Giants be,
you know,
0-7.
I'm still a Giants fan.
And you'll be right there.
No, but I'm a New Yorker
at the end of the day.
He already told us that he is.
So is Jay-Z.
But you know who Jay-Z roots for?
The mighty, mighty
Dallas Cowboys.
We all have faults.
Shut up.
All right, well,
that is your rumor report.
All right.
Now who are you giving your donkey to, man?
Oh, man, a 52-year-old Maryland man named Thomas Steeman.
And just know Steeman rhymes with semen for a reason.
We'll talk about it for after the hour.
Don't you look at me with one eye open.
All right.
You're not CBS, sir.
Okay.
Donkey of the day is up next.
It's Breakfast Club.
Come on.
The Breakfast Club.
Your mornings will never be the same.
When a train hits a vehicle at a railway crossing, the results are often deadly.
Be cautious at crossings, and if the signals are going,
don't be tempted to try and sneak across the tracks, even if you don't see a train.
Stop.
Trains can't.
Brought to you by NHTSA.
Don't be out here acting like a donkey.
Hee-haw, bitch.
Hee-haw.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
I'm a big boy.
I can take it if he feel I deserve it.
Ain't no big deal.
I know Charlemagne and God are going to have some funny shit.
Say out of his mouth.
If God say something you may not agree with, doesn't mean I'm mean.
Who's getting that donkey?
That donkey.
That donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey. That donkey.
Donkey.
Donkey.
Donkey.
Donkey of the day right there.
It's a breakfast club, bitches.
You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm.
I know you don't mean no harm, Andy Cohen.
Donkey of the day for Tuesday, September 14th goes to a 52-year-old Maryland man named Thomas Steeman.
Let the record show that his last name, Steeman, rhymes with semen for a reason.
We'll get to it.
See, Mr. Steeman rhymes with semen, was charged with first and second degree assault.
Why?
Because there's a war going on outside no woman will ever be safe from,
and that war is simply against perverts.
Some people are just sexually sick, and Thomas Steeman rhymes with Seaman as one of those people.
See, Thomas Steeman rhymes with Seaman,
was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
And I don't think that was enough time
because whenever I hear these stories,
I think, you know what, if that's my wife,
my daughters, one of my sister friends,
one of my nieces, what would I do to this man?
What would I want done to this man?
Do I send him healing energy?
Of course.
But I also want violence. What?
Charlamagne, Uncle Charla, Brother Leonard, you want violence? Yes. Why? What did Thomas
Steeman rhymes with semen do? Let's go to WBAL NBC 11 for the report, please.
Churchton man who stabbed a woman with a semen-filled syringe.
Stop right there. Stop, stop, stop. See if you caught that first line.
Just want that one to sink in. All right, play it again, Eddie.
Churchton man who stabbed a woman with a semen-filled syringe will spend the next 10 years in prison.
An Anne Arundel County judge sentenced Thomas Stammen on Tuesday.
Back in February of 2020, surveillance video captured him stabbing the woman as she returned to a shopping cart at a grocery store.
According to police, he tried to stab two other women before this incident.
As part of his sentence, Stammen is no longer allowed to be near that grocery store. According to police, he tried to stab two other women before this incident. As part of his sentence, Stammen is no longer allowed to be near that grocery store.
Stabbed a woman with a semen-filled syringe? I don't give a damn if you can't go near a
Safeway anymore, okay? I don't give a damn if you can't go to that supermarket anymore. A person
doing stuff like this shouldn't be allowed anywhere, ever, okay? Throw him under the jail.
This dude, Thomas St steeman rhymes with semen
was going around with syringes full of piping hot semen and stabbing random random women with it
clearly this human suffers from some type of mental illness not mental health issues actual
mental illness and yes i want this brother to get all the help he needs and deserves
in that department but he has to get that help in prison away from society and he deserves to get his ass kicked
because we don't have time to assess people in situations like this okay if you see someone
coming at a woman you love with a syringe you reacting if the woman he's attempting to do that
to has a gun she has every right to clap him a syringe a whole syringe do you know what a dirty
needle can do to you that's a matter of life and death you coming at me with a sy. I have no reason to think that you are doing anything other than trying to kill me when you
come at me with a syringe, period. I don't know what's in that thing. But when I find out that
you had semen in the syringe later, you know what kind of trauma you caused that woman? Right away,
you think you got HIV AIDS and you'll be doing all types of tests for months and months, maybe
years, just praying you don't. And then I want to know what happens when semen actually does get into your blood
stream because I've never heard of such such a thing okay according to USA Today this dude stabbed
a woman and the woman told police she asked him if she had been burned with a cigarette and Thomas
Steeman rhymes with semen replied yeah it felt like a beast thing didn't it man brothers like
this gotta get they gotta get hurt before you send them healing energy
okay he's seen on video lunging at two other women including a 17 year old girl we have to
keep him away from more than save a lot in maryland when he comes home in a decade because i truly
don't know if you can rehabilitate from this kind of sickness but hey hey, who am I to judge? Please let Remy Ma give Thomas Steeman,
rhymes with semen, the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw, hee-haw.
You stupid mother f***er.
You dumb.
A syringe filled with semen?
Uh-uh.
That's very criminal, but it's also, like,
not even normal at all.
In no way, shape, or form.
That's disgusting.
Come on, man.
A syringe?
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
All right.
Now, Yee was telling me about this story, about the subway story.
It's been something that was trending the last couple of days.
Lady that works at Subway.
What happened with that story, Yee?
Oh, I think, didn't she get in trouble at work or something like that?
Yes.
Tell me what happened.
How are you going to ask Yee? I ask you neither one of y'all know
She got suspended. Yeah lady got suspended
805 a 5105 one lady was working at subway and somebody came in to rob subway with a gun instead of just letting him rob the Subway and take this stuff and go she fought him back and actually took the pistol from him
Well because of that, she was suspended.
Why did she get suspended?
For fighting back. You know, when you work in those businesses,
you're not supposed to fight back. I mean, clearly she was fighting
for her life and not them damn $5 footlongs.
She was fighting for her own life, I would assume,
in a situation like that. But I say in most of these
situations, you're supposed to let him, you know, take
the stuff, take the footlongs. Take whatever you want.
Take these cookies. Yeah, take whatever you want.
Leave me two cookies, because they are good at Subway. But take these damn cookies, take these $5 footlongs, take the footlongs. Take whatever you want. Take these cookies. Yeah, take whatever you want. Leave me two cookies because they are good at Subway.
Take these damn cookies. Take these $5 footlongs.
Take the $70 that's
in the cash register, please. You can have it all.
Take all the chips off yourself.
Yeah, I was one time
a couple of years ago, I was at Gucci and
I seen a couple of ladies steal bags
and run right out and security did nothing and I was like
You told on them. I didn't tell on them.
You know what's crazy? I was just shopping the other day. I was like you told on them I didn't tell on them you know what's crazy
I was just shopping
the other day
I was with my mom
in the mall
and she was
I didn't I swear
I didn't tell on them
they ran out
and he seen them
and he was like
you are a liar
and you've always been a liar
I did not tell on them
but they tell the security guards
that you can't
that you cannot do nothing
even the employees
not even just the security
I was just in the mall
with my mom and the woman was telling us at the security. I was just in the mall with my mom
and the woman was telling us
at the store
how some people came in there.
She watched them
just take stuff
and put it in their bag
and they're not allowed
to do anything.
They can't try to stop you.
And she said
they can't even
like try to be like,
can I see what's in your bag?
No.
Because then it turns
into a discrimination thing.
Exactly.
You got to call 911
and if you feel a way,
you got to take a picture of their license plate, but you can't stop them. You're really a cop sucker. You know to call 911 and if you feel a way, you got to take a picture
of their license plate,
but you can't stop them.
You're really a cop sucker.
You know all of these rules.
What?
I asked them.
I was surprised.
I will say, though,
the woman in Subway
clearly probably was not
fighting over them
damn $5 footlongs.
She was fighting
to save her life.
It's a gun in your face.
That's probably just her reaction
to try to protect herself.
So we're asking,
should she have been suspended?
Should she have just let the guy
rob the store and keep it moving?
Or, you know, like Charlamagne, would have fought over that footlong.
800-585-1051.
I would have fought because it was in my face.
Okay?
That's why I would have fought.
All right.
All right.
Would have floated your boat.
800-585-1051.
Should she have been suspended?
Let's talk about it.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Come on.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
It's topic time.
Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Let's talk about it.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us,
we're talking about this young lady
that worked at a Subway restaurant. Somebody came
in to rob the restaurant. He was, uh,
had a gun, and she fought him back
and wound up taking the gun from him. Her name is
Araceli Sotelo, and
yeah, she, it was all caught
on video, too, by the way. The surveillance cameras
in the store were running, and the footage did end up getting leaked.
And now she's suspended because of that video footage being leaked also.
So we're asking 805-85-1051.
Should she have been suspended?
And what would you do in that situation?
Yeah.
What would you do in that situation?
Somebody has a gun and they rob a subway.
Give them what they asked for.
Charlamagne?
I mean, listen, I think that she, yeah,
I would have definitely just given them what they asked for.
But I think in that moment,
I think her fight or flight instincts kicked in.
You know what I'm saying?
And so she chose to fight because there was a gun in her face.
She didn't know if she was going to die or not.
You know, so I'm not mad at her for what she did
because I know that's just natural human instincts for some people.
I get it. at her for what she did because I know that's just natural human instincts for some people. I get it.
But you know what?
Sometimes I just don't understand
when people put their life in danger
for a store that you don't own,
for a store that has insurance,
for a store if something happens to you,
they're just going to hire another player.
I don't think she was putting herself in danger
for that store, though.
I really think it was the fact that
she was in there,
somebody pulled a gun on her,
and she just reacted.
Like, literally, her fight or flight kicked in.
She would either run or fight. I work at Subway, and you come in there with a pulled a gun on her, and she just reacted. Like, literally, her fight or flight kicked in. She would either run or fight.
I work at Subway, and you come in there with a gun.
Take whatever you got.
Hey, hey, hey.
Take some extra meat over there, too.
Whatever you need, you got.
But think about it.
Nowadays, Envy, you don't know why somebody pulling a gun on you.
That's true.
You know what I mean?
Like, she might have had some beef we don't know about.
But I know one thing.
F's suspending me.
Just fire me.
Because I'm not coming back to work in no damn subway after I got a gun pulled
on me here defended in my life defending my life and you suspend me F you and
these funky ass $5 foot longs you should be treating me like a damn hero in fact
name a sandwich after me she's a hero so make a sub sandwich after her for real
I'm with you hello who's this hey what? It's Dwayne from Haley.
Hey, what's up, bro? Now you think
she should have got suspended. You understand why she got suspended?
Yeah, because
jobs have policies in
place where they want you to let the
robber do what they want to do
so you're not a liability. You don't get hurt
because then now the job has to take care of you.
So if you have a way to stay out
of it and just let the robber take the money
or take whatever merchandise they want,
the job wants you to stay safe and stay protected.
Okay.
I feel you, man,
but somebody walk in on you and pull a gun on you,
you don't know what they're going to do.
Yeah, that's the truth.
Your instinct might just be to grab the gun.
What if they just pass a note to you?
Take everything you want.
I'd rather you pass a note than pull a gun on me.
Hello, who's this? Hi, I'm going to be the artist by nickname, Mrs. Panda. Hey, Mrs. Take everything you want. I'd rather you pass a note than pull a gun on me. Hello, who's this?
Hi, I'm going to give you guys my nickname, Mrs. Panda.
Hey, Mrs. Panda, good morning.
Panda, panda, panda. Hi.
Hey, hey.
So, I saw the story and I
recently had a gun put in my face.
Really? Yes.
I was driving down the street. Somebody got
upset, swayed the gun
in my face because they thought I cut them off.
Oh, my God, bro.
I said, that's scary.
It is scary.
So what I did when I seen the gun,
I was in shock at first,
but then I was like, you know what?
You're not supposed to do that.
So I started following them.
Oh, you're crazy.
While I was on the phone with the police.
Yeah, you insane.
Now, where were you?
What city was this?
This is Toledo, of course.
Ohio. So what ended up happening? What city was this? This is Toledo, of course. Ohio.
So what ended up happening?
So what ended up happening was I was following him for a minute.
He stopped in front of me, and I was like, no, I'm not getting any closer.
Well, I was on the phone with the police.
So she told me to go to, like, the high school.
Shout out Bulldogs.
But she told me to go to the local high school and wait for the police to come.
And they never came
so i have no idea what happened that's why i gave you guys my nickname but i did file a report but
for her to defend herself when there's a gun in your face i mean of course at first they're
shocked but then your next instinct kicks in like save yourself well first of all don't you put
yourself in the same situation as this young lady okay this young lady had a gun pulled on her you
know in her face you could have just got the description of the car
and license and minded your business.
I sure should have.
You know what I'm saying?
Come on, Panda.
I pulled the reverse Karen.
You definitely pulled the reverse Karen.
And guess what?
Get out of Dodge.
Go home.
Karen would have got shot, too.
Oh, we all stay strapped.
But it's okay.
It's Camilo.
It's like that out here.
Oh, my gosh. Goodbye. Bye. Have's okay. It's like that out here. Goodbye.
Bye. Have a good morning.
You too.

We're talking about the subway story.
A young lady works at Subway, the restaurant, the fast food spot.
Somebody came in to rob it.
She fought him off and took the gun from him.
She got suspended.
All right, we'll talk about it more.
What would you have done?
Should she have been suspended?
Call us now at The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
I know it now.
I like it.
I like it.
I like it.
I like it.
That kudos, you hear what that?
Call me.
Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic.
Come on.
800-585-1051.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about a lady who worked at Subway.
The store was about to get robbed at gunpoint.
She fought the robber off, and she got suspended for it.
Well, we're asking, what would you have done, and do you think she should have got suspended?
Hello, who's this?
This is Portion.
Hey, good morning, mama.
Good morning.
I was calling to tell y'all the girl actually posted on her TikTok
that the reason why she got suspended was because they asked her to take the video down
and she wouldn't take the video down.
I wouldn't take the video down either.
Yeah, they said she was going to be suspended until she removed the video.
Okay.
I wonder why they didn't want her to have the video up.
That's interesting.
I thought that was good.
Like I said, it shows heroism to me.
Yeah, I don't know.
But I think it shows heroism.
But apparently they want her to take it down.
The moral of the story is this young woman at Subway deserves her own sandwich.
Okay?
There's a hero sandwich, and she should have one named after her.
Absolutely.
All right.
Now, we got rumors coming up.
R. Kelly.
Let's talk about some things that the accusers are saying in court about him now.
And this also has to do with Aaliyah and basketball, too.
He ain't my friend, but he flew me out one time, right?
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Rumors to talk R. Kelly.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On the Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
So a woman who says she was sexually assaulted by R. Kelly when she was a teenager said that she also personally
witnessed him sexually assault R&B star Aaliyah,
who was underage at the time, back in his tour bus in 1992 or 93.
Now, they said she would have been 13 or 14 years old at the time that this happened.
She said, I slightly opened the door and saw Robert and Aaliyah in a sexual situation.
She identified herself on the stand as Angela and said she worked as a backup singer.
She also told jurors it appeared that he was giving her oral sex and that Aaliyah was sitting with her legs open and R. Kelly was on his knees in between her legs.
So this is yet another one of the allegations.
Now, another person, one of R. Kelly's assistants, Suzette Mayweather, sat with his girlfriends at the games, according to another account. And this account says that R. Kelly was obsessed with basketball,
and that was his second obsession, second only to controlling women.
She said they would cheer for him, and they would only cheer for Rob.
When a stray ball came toward the girls and young women,
they would go quiet if another player approached.
They would cross their legs and look at the ceiling or the wall,
according to another R. Kelly employee named Derek Stevens. They said his passion for dunks was second only to
his obsession with women. They said if we looked at other men, we would get chastised.
And that is according to Jane, one of R. Kelly's accusers
who said she attended his nightly basketball games while dating him from
2015 to 2019. I wonder what all the artists
that did music with R. Kelly,
if they ever seen any of this.
You know, because there's a lot of people that did music with him.
And I wonder if any of them ever seen any of the things that all these people are saying.
Now, R. Kelly's tour manager in the 80s and 90s, Demetrius Smith,
told the Daily News, when R. Kelly plays ball, he has to have the ball.
Everybody got to pass him the ball.
And so that was what he said.
He said he plays like Michael Jordan.
And every stop that they had, they actually had to have a gym for him and reserve a court when they were on the road.
At what point did the judge say, I think we heard enough?
Because this seems like it's the longest trial ever.
Yeah, there's a lot of different people who are testifying.
And his longtime assistant also testified yesterday that he was so paranoid that he once asked her to change into a robe to demonstrate that she was not wearing a wire.
She said that he would make her cry at times.
And she also testified that he kept strict policies
for his entourage and one time even made her write a letter
falsely confessing to stealing from him,
I guess in case he felt like he needed that
at some point as blackmail.
And I also wonder, when R. Kelly flew me out,
I wonder what his intentions were.
Well, what did he tell you he was flying you for?
They flew me out, and they put me in a hotel.
But why? Like, did he tell you why
you were flying out? I mean, we were supposed to do a mixtape
back in the day. Okay, so that was his intention.
But he never answered the phone. He just left me in the hotel.
Well, listen, he dodged a bullet. Keep in mind
that, you know, he is on trial in New York.
You know, they might call you in now.
They might subpoena you, Envy,
to tell your story.
He didn't fly me out of that.
I'm not going to the vice court.
All right, now let's talk about Brittany Renner.
You know, she has a child with PJ Washington
and they've since broken up.
And now she is talking about who's next.
Here's what she said on social media
because she's looking for somebody
to become her child's stepdaddy.
It's officially stepdaddy season.
Don't let your baby mama or your baby daddy block your blessings.
I know in theory it sounds good keeping the same person to have kids with, but that's insanity as well.
So if it doesn't work out with them, it'll work out with someone else.
I know a lot of you are skeptical about talking to people with children, but I can assure you the baby mama is now today.
We don't give a damn.
I want you to be around for a long time, not a good time.
You can hold my son, put him on your story.
I trust his judgment.
How much is PJ Payne or a child's boy?
We don't know.
Oh, I thought it was a big number.
It was a rumor.
He said it wasn't true, that number that was out there.
Is she really looking for love?
That is not for us to decide.
Who knows what she's really looking for.
I'm sending her healing energy.
All right.
And, you know, Halloween is coming up,
and there is a company that is paying fans to watch the scariest movies ever made.
So it's a finance firm called Finance Buzz.
They're offering one person who is, and actually I saw saw the story and i kind of want to do it you get to watch 13 very differently budgeted scary movies to see
whether it makes a difference how much money they spend on a movie if it's scarier the more money
that they spend so they want to know whether or not high budget horror movies deliver strongest
scares than low budget ones they're calling calling this whole thing Fright Fest and to determine how finances affect this.
You'll look at these 13 movies and then they actually have a Fitbit and that'll track your heart rate throughout your movie analysis.
And that's how they figure out which is the scariest.
And you have to watch all the movies on the list between October 9th and October 18th.
And then you get $1,300 if you are chosen to watch these horror movies.
I don't pay people to scare me,
and I don't want to get paid to be scared.
I'm cool.
I think that sounds amazing.
But you like horror movies.
Yeah, I love horror movies.
Yeah, my wife loves horror movies.
I ain't into that.
Me neither.
And lastly, congratulations to Drake.
He has broken all kinds of records.
Nine out of the ten top slots right on Billboard's Hot 100 are from certified lover boys.
So the only song that's on there besides Drake songs is the Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber.
So congratulations to Drake.
Nine out of ten in the top ten.
Man, screaming rules everything around me.
It used to be a time that you used to have to get big radio play to even get on the billboard
top ten. You could never
do a feat like that if it was just
about radio anymore. Correct.
You just couldn't. No. You know what I mean? Because radio would
be programming one record.
You know what I mean? Yep.
And now it's really in the hands of the people
at this point. That's right. Alright, well that
is your rumor report. Alright, well
happy birthday to Landon. His mom hit us up on social media and said wish him a happy birthday. That's right. All right, well, that is your rumor report. All right, well, happy birthday to Landon.
