It's Tuesday. I wasn't sure if Envy was on the, you know, at home, working from home or somewhere else today. No, he's running a little late because of some flooding in New Jersey and traffic and stuff. But he needs to get here because today is a big day for him because his book, him and his wife, Gia's book, Real Life, Real Love,

is out today. Yes, indeed. Dropping the clues bombs for him and Gia. And Gia will be joining us this morning. She absolutely will. That's probably another reason why he's late. He's probably nervous. Nervous of how

that whole conversation will be received. But if you haven't gotten the book yet, go get it. Real Life, Real Love. Available everywhere you buy books now.

They did the Audible version so if you like listening to the KC Crew podcast, you know you can download the Audible version and listen to that. All I know is I'm looking at the...

I already know he's going to be mad when he comes in here this morning. I'm looking at the shade room. I see they did an interview there. The first comment that's pinned is Desus from Desus and Mero. That means nothing. I mean, that's good. I mean, listen, as long as people are talking,

that's what matters. When people are having, I'd rather be talked about than ignored. People know the book is out today and Gia will be here this morning. We'll be discussing it, I'm sure, a lot this morning. What'd you do yesterday, E? What did I do? Oh, so yesterday, I actually,

this is my first time doing this. I moved some things into storage. I've never had a storage space before, but I've been working on, like I'm supposed to be moving, but it's just a nightmare to get this other house redone and rehab. And my house just feels so cluttered and junky.

So I was like, you know what? I'm going to get a storage space and move some things into storage. So that was my whole day yesterday was getting some things together, packing it up. I need my house to not feel like a mess. Are you trying to do like some spring cleaning? I'm just trying to like just clean it out. You know how you walk in? I have boxes everywhere because people keep sending things to my house.

It's just no place to put everything. So I'm trying to get rid of stuff. Yeah, I guess it is spring cleaning. It's definitely spring cleaning. It's like I'm the type of person I can't go to bed if my house is a mess or if I come home, it like depresses me. If things feel out of order. So you don't want no clutter. Yeah.

So it makes my life feel cluttered. I'm doing some spring cleaning right now as I smudge myself. And then I was watching the playoffs last night, too, while I was doing all of that. I didn't see no basketball last night. But it wasn't, you know, it was the 76ers versus the Raptors. That wasn't really like a good game. Who won, the Sixers? Yes.

I'm sure they won. By a lot. All right, well, let's get the show started. Like we said, Gia Casey will be here this morning. Envy's wife, DJ Envy's wife, to discuss their new book, Real Life, Real Love, and what we got on Front Page News. Does that mean y'all can't flirt today in front of her? Would you disrespect his wife like that and flirt with her?

Well, it's about him. He's the one who flirts with me. I don't do flirting in this room. I'm wondering how this is going to be awkward. You know how you're like, I know what's really going on. He flirts with me every morning. Let's see how he acts in front of his wife. All right.

Well, let's talk about this mask mandate. If you're traveling, imagine being mid-flight and they tell you, take your mask off. You're free. We'll tell you what happened yesterday. As they have said, you don't have to wear those masks anymore on planes. All right. It's the world's most dangerous morning show. What's wrong?

We starting? Oh, my God. Come on. I just came in from the rain. This song sounds like it's raining and the windshield wipers are going too slow it's too late hey morning everybody it's dj mv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club good morning what's happening man of the hour book release day if you haven't picked it up right now you well right now but you get the audible right now you can definitely listen to

it right now and i'm super duper excited last night get the Audible right now. You can definitely listen to it right now. And I'm super duper excited. Last night I was in D.C. Shout out to the Jasmine Brand. They moderated a panel again, myself, and we signed a bunch of books. I'm just excited. I'm just happy. So hopefully you guys can pick up the book, read the book, and

get some good information to help you with your relationship. Real life, real love. Real life, real love. But let's real love. Alright, but let's get in some front page news. Where we starting? Alright, well that CDC mask mandate for travelers is no longer in effect after a federal judge in

Florida struck it down on Monday. The Biden administration's mask mandate for airplanes and other public transport methods. They said the order is no longer in effect while the ruling is being reviewed. So they're reviewing things now. And that's very confusing for a lot of people. Just last week, the CDC extended the mask mandate

through May 3rd. And that actually applied to airplanes, trains, and other forms of public transportation. But they said it was a disappointing decision and the Justice Department will make any determinations about a legal response in the immediate wake of this ruling. But people were mid-flight, OK, when they decided that no longer do you have to wear a mask. Here's one pilot actually making the announcement on a Delta flight.

We just got an announcement a few minutes ago. Some of you may have seen the press release today that a judge overturned the mask mandate. My company announces at this moment, if you choose to, you may remove your mask. I mean, for years we've seen Asians wearing masks at the airport and on planes, but I would like to know what is the science to wearing a mask on a plane? Because you're on the plane already. You're in a closed space. All the air is circulating amongst each other. Like, what is the point of wearing a mask on a plane because you're on the plane already you're in a closed

space all the air is circulating amongst each other like what is the point of wearing the mask on the plane in the first place yeah i guess um well because i guess we're in such close quarters so if somebody next to you on the flight has uh covid you're probably gonna get it regardless even with a mask on no i don't know i think it does offer some protection i think it might make you i might make you feel that way but i would really like to see the science on yeah I don't know. I think it does offer some protection. I think it might make you feel that way, but I would really like to see the science on that. Yeah, I don't necessarily get it either. I mean, people go out to these festivals. I mean, you know, Coachella.

I think outdoors is different, though. Thousands of people still next to people. They're on top of each other. It's not like they get six feet of space. It's not even like you get one foot of space. Like, they're on top of each other at these concerts and these venues. So I really don't see the difference. I don't think wearing a mask is such a big deal. believe what scientists are saying if there's anything that could offer me any extra protection you know i'll do it but one mom said that her unvaccinated babies were on that

flight when the pilot announced mass could come off and she said i'm with my two not yet eligible for vax kids and the pilot just announced that the mass mandate has just this minute ended people clapped and took off their masks. Here we are having boarded a plane with our kids. Very upset Delta that this was announced mid-flight. It's the mid-flight change that's so upsetting. We don't now have an opportunity to look at the TSA change and make a travel choice that fits with our family's vaccination status and risk comfort level. We're in the air.

Yeah, but you just keep your kids' masks on. No, they, well, they're not vaccinated though. So I guess that was her main thing. Yeah, but you still keep the kids' masks on. No, they, well, they're not vaccinated, though, so I guess that was her main thing. Yeah, but you still keep the kid's mask on. And then she also has an eight-month-old, so I don't think you have to have a mask on an eight-month-old. Yeah, you can't put a mask on an eight-month-old. But then they also say the risk of an eight-month-old catching it is

very, very low. So what are we talking about here? Like, it needs to be the stuff that they've been telling us for the past couple years. I thought it was that of them getting extremely sick from it and dying. Yeah, regardless. I thought it was. You don't want your baby or your child to get COVID, but it's one of those things is what could you possibly do at this point? I mean.

Yeah, at least maybe she wouldn't have taken her unvaccinated kids on that flight. And by the way, what variant of COVID are we talking about now? The way they talk about it, the people are calling this variant of COVID the I don't give an F variant because it's so weak. I mean, we've been seeing people still getting it, though. And, you know, I think I understand her point. We're mid-flight. I made this decision thinking people would be wearing masks. My two children are not vaccinated.

One of them is an eight-month-old. We could have at least landed. So that way, because people do make decisions that's best for their family based on what it is now. I understand. But people are going to complain regardless. Yeah, you just don't know how it affects your body. Exactly. Like my parents had COVID last week.

They didn't even know. And it went right through their body, no problems. Then you look at somebody like Kay Slay who died. So, I mean, you just don't know how COVID affects your body. Right. And you want to make a decision that's best based on what the rules are. Imagine mid-flight they change the rules. And you're like, damn, I may be with a drone.

It's just so strange right now because literally, let's be for real, this country is acting like COVID never existed. Like the mask mandates are gone, restaurants are open,

you don't have to show vaccine cards anywhere. Exactly. It's just like people are congregating, you're at concerts, you're at comedy shows, you're everywhere now.

It's like, so what are we supposed to do at this point? Yeah, I mean, I just think I agree with her. I just did a book sign the last night and there was about 150 people outside. Yo, the world

is open. At least America's open. I don't know what to tell you. Alright, well that is your front page news. I mean, I guess it's what's best for you. You know what I mean? What's best for your family. Because I'm going to wear my mask when I'm on planes. That's just my personal choice. I'm going to make sure my kids wear it that's my personal choice as their parent right but you can do what you want right all right get it off your chest 800

I know Miami's on the schedule. And I know Jacksonville is on the schedule. So we will be down there. You know around about when?

I don't know, but, you know, follow me on Instagram. The hard part about it is a lot of Barnes & Nobles are not doing the in-store book signings because of COVID, which is still crazy to me because the airports are taking the masks off. So I guess they're trying to be safe. So finding bookstores that are doing the in-signings is difficult, but we're going to make things happen. One more question. I know you travel a lot. Which part of Jamaica do you recommend?

Jamaica, Queens, or Jamaica, the Highlands? Shut up, man. You heard that man say you travel a lot. I usually go to Kingston. Jamaica, Queens. The majority of my parties, my wife is from Kingston. Her parents are from Kingston, so that's where we usually do the majority of the parties. If you want to go to Jamaica, Queens, you can go to McDowell's.

McDowell's is a great eatery. McDowell's doesn't exist, man. A great eatery in Jamaica, Queens. I'm talking about if I like vacation. Oh, vacation. No, I wouldn't go to Kingston for vacation. Montego Bay. Montego Bay, yeah.

The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.

His fourth studio album was back in 2017.

He even rarely puts out singles. He put out those, what, two records with Baby Keem? What was that, last year? Yep. Then the Black Panther soundtrack was a few years ago.

What are we talking about? Yes. And we're going to be discussing, and I know this is important because people are traveling and going places. But again, we'll give you some information

about this mask mandate and what's going on. Do you have to wear masks anymore? Anywhere? On the planes? On the trains? We'll give you that update. All right. We'll get you that update. All right.

We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. I teamed up with Zyrtec for this allergy relief message. Springtime brings vibrancy to the air and pollen. So I take Zyrtec when allergy symptoms start.

Save the tissues and live vibrantly with Zyrtec. Starts working at hour one and stays strong day after day. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now NBA

basketball, the 76ers beat the Raptors 1-12-97. They lead the series 2-0. The Mavericks beat the Jazz last night 1-10-104. They tie the series 1-1. And Mavericks beat the Jazz last night, 110-104. They tied the series 1-1. And the Warriors beat the Nuggets, 126-106. That was my preseason pick to win the finals, too. Yeah, Steph had 34 last night.

He came back. He was busting ass last night. Paul had 29, and Klay had 21. And I'm sticking with my pick, but boy, them sons look good. Yeah. And don't sleep on the bucksies. Warriors look good last night, though. I mean, Steph came back.

Steph was busting ass last night. What else you got, Yeezy? All right, well, there was a deadly mass shooting inside of a packed party, and that was in Pittsburgh. Two boys were killed and eight were injured after gunfire rang out inside and outside a party at an Airbnb rental unit, they said hundreds of people were forced to scramble for safety and five were injured while fleeing.

Families and friends are in mourning after the deaths of Matthew, Steffi Ross and Jaden Brown. Police say the two 17-year-old boys were shot and died at the hospital. Brown's mom said he was about to turn 18 and graduate from Woodland Hills High School next month. Police did respond to the scene of the shooting. It was after 12.30 a.m. on Sunday. They had received some alerts from more than 90 rounds fired. People are trying to still wrap their heads around what happened early Sunday morning, including the owner of the other unit inside the building where the shooting occurred.

They said there were bullets that actually riddled both downstairs bedrooms and the unit below where the party was held. So Pittsburgh cops did respond to noise complaints 90 minutes before that shooting happened, by the way. And our condolences go out to the families of Matthew, Steffi Ross and Jaden Brown. So sad. Definitely sending healing energy to those families. Lord have mercy. All right.

Now for everybody traveling, you no longer have to wear any masks. That's for every airline? On the flight, yeah. I mean, they just overturned the whole mandate. So right now, on a flight, on a Delta flight, the pilot actually announced mid-flight that people could take their masks off because of that court ruling that people no longer have to wear masks. We just got an announcement a few minutes ago. Some of you may have seen the press release today that a judge overturned the mask mandate. My company announces at this moment, if you choose to, you may remove your mask.

So through the airport, I don't have to come with a mask anymore if I don't want to. That's what you're saying? Mm-hmm. All airports. But that's for now, right? Agencies are reviewing this decision and assessing potential steps. In the meantime, they're saying that the masking order is not in effect at this time. So they're not going to enforce that you have to wear a mask in indoor public transportation settings.

I mean, it just makes logical sense, right? Because no place else seems to be under mask mandates. Folks is going to festivals with no masks, going to comedy shows, concerts, basketball games, basketball games, folks is in restaurants with no mask on. So it doesn't really make sense to have a mask mandate on planes. Yeah, I mean, I can understand one woman was upset because mid flight, she said, we're trapped in the sky with our eight month old unvaccinated baby. You can't ask a baby that young. And there was no mask.

And they said we were under the supposition that everyone who can be masked would be masked. And the flight 325 crew has taken our choices away from us. Very, very angry about this. And that was foul. They did it mid-flight. She didn't have a choice. She was stuck on that plane. That was foul.

I remember when the U.S transportation command said that uh planes have air ventilation and filtration systems and that they remove covid particles like every six minutes and they said the only way you could really catch covid on a flight is if you're sitting right next to somebody who is sick that's that's what they used to say right so they used to basically say planes would was safe so if you're like they said Unless you're sitting next to somebody who's sick. Yeah, but usually on a plane, you're sitting next to your family. No, some people travel alone.

You know, sit next to a stranger. Well, that family clearly wasn't. So, you know. That family wasn't. And sometimes it could be two people in a seat and then a third person on the end who you don't know. True indeed.

But that family wasn't traveling without, they were traveling with their family. They were sitting next to each other. I don't know how many people she had with her. But she had her two kids and a pilot announced that at that time. She probably had that

eight-month-old in her lap. But she's still with her family is what I'm saying. But she still was upset. I feel bad for her because she didn't have a choice. She got on that plane thinking everybody

was going to wear a mask and surprised they're not. So, I mean, I get why she's upset. She said she might have made other travel plans. Yeah, arrangements because the baby can't be vaccinated.

So if she would have known that would happen, maybe she would have went a different way. I get it, but I don't know where that plane was going, but was she going to drive to Cali if it was going to Cali? You know what I mean? Or maybe not go. If she was going, yeah. But that was her choice. You know, who knows? It took her choice away in that flight.

All right, well, that is your Front Page News. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now when we come back, be on your best behavior, Charlamagne. Why are you talking to me? You need to be talking to yourself. I'm talking to you. Your wife is coming in here, okay? The author of the new book, Real Life, Real Love, Gia Casey, is coming in here, okay,

to talk about what's in that book. I know your butt cheek's tight right now. I can see you sweating. I see your beard dripping down your chin right now, okay? That Beijing is starting to melt because you're so damn nervous. I'm not you sweating. I see your beard dripping down your chin right now. That Beijing is starting to melt because you're so damn nervous. You already put the book out there. You already got the audible version. You already

spilled your guts. What am I nervous about? We saw you on Shade Room last night talking about you let her do your prostate or something you said. I didn't talk about nothing about no damn prostate, man. What did they say that happened? She's saying that she had fake orgasms when we were coming up. She would fake her orgasms. We talk about it here prostate, man. What was it? What was it they said happened? I know we talk about she's saying that she had fake orgasms when we were coming up.

For 10 years. She would fake her orgasm. We talk about it here on the radio before that she would fake her orgasm. So she hasn't had an orgasm in 10 years? That was before.

That was before, sir. I didn't ask you that. What was the time frame? That was before. She hasn't had an orgasm in 10 years? I'm just trying to put her time with my time.

I haven't had one in 12 from you. So what's the problem? We were 17. That was 27. Now we're way older than that. So that was a long time ago. Oh,'s the problem? We were 17. That was 27. Now we're way older than that. So that was a long time ago. Oh, I thought you meant the past decade. No, it wasn't the past decade. This was when we first started. I don't know. You ass. Things get misconstrued.

No, no, no. I thought Shadram said the past decade. No, we've been together 27 years. This is when we were first together. Oh. And we were talking about it. That makes sense. Y'all was young. Y'all didn't know y'all bodies. You better... This guy, man. Yo!

What's up with this guy? All right. When we come back, my wife... Better keep that same energy when your wife come in here. Ooh, damn it. We'll be joining us, man. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Never met her before. She's an actress. She's an author. She's a mom. Ladies and gentlemen, Gia. She's a wife. And my wife. Yes, Gia. Hello. Welcome. Gia what? That's just one name? She's like Madonna, Beyonce. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. How nervous are you sir? Seriously?

I know he's been acting real weird all morning. I'm fine. You know what? You guys have a book out, Real Life, Real Love, Life Lessons on Joy, Pain, and the Magic that Holds Us Together. And I've been dying to ask you this question, Gia, in person, in this room. Oh boy, here we go. How do you feel about Charlamagne and Envy flirting with each other every day? Um, it kind of turns me on. How do you feel about Charlamagne and Envy flirting with each other every day? It kind of turns me on.

What? You didn't expect that answer. Now I'm nervous. What the hell? I have that effect on people. Okay. Explain. No, I mean, I think it's a little strange.

But I'm amused by it. It's just brotherly love. Yes, I mean, I think it's a little strange. But I'm amused by it. It's just brotherly love. That's all. I'm amused by it. Does anything go too far ever? No, it's all good fun and entertainment. That's all it is. I don't mind it. So you didn't mind when he gave me the ass?

First of all, context, please. Or actually, I didn't know that. Everybody doesn't watch the show every day. Context, please. Okay? Wait, can you guys soundbite that? When he gave me a mold of his ass. That's right.

And it wasn't my ass. It was a mold of a ass. Yes. I thought it was a mold of your actual ass. No, no. My aint that fat. And then what about when they touch each other and stuff? That's never happened.

We don't touch each other. We don't touch each other. I've never seen them touch each other. That hasn't happened. No. You want to tell me something I need to know? Well, no. They like rub up, brush against each other. If they're walking've never seen them touch each other. That hasn't happened. No. You want to tell me something I need to know? Well, no. They rub up, brush against each other.

If they're walking out the door at some time, they go in there. We threaten to rub up against each other. We don't ever do it. They go in the revolving door together. That happened one time by accident. Explain that. Now I need answers. It was stupid.

I don't even know how that happened. It was really stupid. It was really dumb. That had to be very intentional. No, it wasn't. I don't even know how it happened. One is in, and then one makes his way in. We were in the revolving door together walking around.

It was so stupid and dumb. You don't just fall into a revolving door. All we did was giggle because it was so stupid. We just had to giggle our way through it. You just added insult to injury. You're sitting there in the one slot giggling together. It's so stupid. Oh, man.

All right. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. I don't lie. Oh, man. All right. Well, whatever, guys. Back to the matter at hand. I don't lie. Real life, real love. What is that magic that holds y'all together, you think? How would you describe it? You know, whenever I find that people come to our house or are around us, I think they're

kind of surprised at how much fun we have together. I find him to be very charming and charismatic. And one of the things that I love most about him is his boyish nature. So we really have a lot of fun together. And we always have since we first met. The first week we spent together, I thought to myself, wow, he's a lot of fun. He's like a friend, you know, and that's part of the magic. You knew that this was the person you were going to spend the rest of your life with?

After about two weeks of knowing him, yes. But he knew before y'all even spent a day together. I did. Explain. Before we even spent a day together? When I first seen you, I mean, I wrote in the book that I thought you were beautiful and amazing. And the first time I saw you, you were actually running track. And for people that don't know, you track she's playing track you know you had you

know big double D's and I would stop basically stalker outside and just watch her run track and watch her breast bottle like that word don't say stalk you know other stalking actually stalking and. Yeah, but that's actually what he was doing. He was a young man. It was actually stalking. And I would see him sitting with his friends in this bright blue Con Edison van. Because that's what his parents bought him to transfer his DJ equipment from Sweet 16 to Sweet 16. Because that's what he was DJing at the time. I just had a Con Edison van. It was cheap back then. And I would see it parked behind the fence.

I'm thinking to myself, yo, why is this van there every day at track practice? Is the power out of the van? Yo, that is crazy. Yes. It was bright blue. He wasn't low. He was not low.

And he was just sitting in the van. And then one day he emerged. Actually, babe, do you remember? One day he emerged from the van and approached me and kicked it. And I was like, oh, so you're that weirdo. That's in the van. We're both kids. Yes. She was 15.

I was 16. We went to the same high school. So, Embi, you say that you knew that she was going to be your wife like right away. You think it was before y'all even spoke? When you were just stalking her we actually know when we actually spoke and and you know i found out how you know beautiful she was inside and outside and how smart she was and caring and she was just that she was the one she was the most beautiful thing i ever seen in my life and the most precious thing so i was like this is going to be my wife i want people to get the book but but I do want to explain, how do you keep reinventing the relationship?

When you start that young, now Envy's 50-something, you know what I mean? You're much, much younger, but how do you keep reinventing? I think that that's part of the magic. We don't have to try. We don't intentionally. We do a lot of things intentionally and deliberately, but we don't intentionally reimagine the relationship and act on that.

The only thing that I would say that we're good about is keeping it sexy and making sure that that part of our relationship doesn't get too monotonous and doesn't get stale. So we have a lot of fun in that space, but we don't have to think like, God, how am I going to stop being bored of you? Or how am I going to get to a point where you don't annoy me anymore? He legitimately does not annoy me. I look forward to his phone calls every day. And we probably speak on the phone about maybe eight or nine, ten times a day. Because he's away a lot. So he calls me on his way to the breakfast club.

He calls me on his way home from the breakfast club. He calls me if something happens. He calls me incessantly. I'm never like, oh, you again. I'm like, oh, him again. It's just that feeling that I've always had that no matter what ups or downs we were going through, that never

left me. Now he told us a story about the cowboy outfit that he wears. He told you about that? Wait, wait, wait. The cowboy outfit in college?. He told you about that? Yeah. Wait, wait, wait. The cowboy outfit in college? With the assless chaps. There's no assless chaps. They were. Yeah, you told us about that.

Hold on, wait, Rashawn, did you actually tell him about that? Like on air or in private? I forgot I told y'all about that. He did. Because if it was in private, this is a whole double cross. Yeah.

He told us he dressed up as a cowboy and he had this. Why are you looking at me like that? Hold on. I remember that day. Okay. I remember that day. Okay. Because I remember that day because after he told the story, he goes. And I was like, what?

He did. When we were in college, yeah, we went through a stage where we were doing like a lot of. Role playing. Role playing. Yeah. And one night I dared him to be a cowboy. So we went and got the cowboy outfit. He had like the big brown hat

and then he had like the little holsters and everything. And babe, do you remember I took pictures? Where are those? Are they in the book? About maybe three years after, he made me physically burn them on the grill. He put them on the grill and told me I had to light it.

Yeah, they don't exist anymore. Don't you wish you still had that? No. But y'all talk about role-playing in the book. You say he likes to put on the Roc Nation paper playing hat. And he goes, what's my name? And he wants you to say Jigga? I didn't contribute to that chapter. Okay. That wasn't my work. No, I didn't do that. No, okay. So he wasn't lying. They were

assless chaps. Yeah, yeah. He had a whole, it was a whole thing. I just pulled the U on you, Gia. He did not tell us that. Damn it, Tehose! Get my book and you will learn a sle pulled a you on you, Gia. He did not tell us that. Damn it, Tehelsi. Get my book and you will learn a slew of tactics, tricks, and techniques on how to get what you want out of life. Okay. It was a holster, by the way. They were holsters.

Yeah, it was a holster. What were some other dress-up things you guys did? All right. It was more so me dressing up. He was just like the recipient of that. That was a one little. And that's why it was a dare because it was kind of supposed to be a joke. But he never really dressing up. He was just like the recipient of that. That was a one little... And that's why it was a dare. Because it was kind of supposed to be a joke. But he never really dressed up.

One time I was a nurse and he was a doctor. That was once. Did you really burn the pictures? I really did. Really? In front of him. Wow. I would have kept those just in case.

Put those in the safe. I have the negatives. I wasn't going to share that. In case anything ever goes left in our relationship, I will ruin his entire reputation. See, I wasn't going to share that. But in case anything ever goes left in our relationship, I have that. I will ruin his entire reputation. Or he might never be able to work again. And might crush him over to a new audience.

Goodness gracious. All right, we got more with my wife, Gia Casey. When we come back, we're talking our new book that's out right now, Real Life, Real Love, So Don't Go Anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got a special guest

still in the building my wife guia casey we're talking about our new book real life real love life lessons on joy pain and the magic that holds us together you could uh pick it up today or you can get it on audible on kindle or wherever you get your books yee how was it for both of you writing this book together some of it was fun it was nicele or wherever you get your books. Ye. How was it for both of you writing this book together? Some of it was fun. It was nice to be creative and get your thoughts down on paper. It was work. But a lot of it was difficult.

I'm a very open person. Rashawn, I think, had a difficult time because he had to relive a lot of the negative things that transpired in our relationship. And he can tend to be surface in some respects where you ask him a question, he gives you an answer. I'm a lot more of an in-depth person. You know,

I think critically about things. And when we would go over these chapters that he's assigned to write, I would ask him questions like, okay, you can't just answer it with a yes or a no or a simple blanket. Like one question would mean 10 more questions to really get to the meat. And, you know, I had to keep reiterating, we're writing this book so that people have

something tangible, a reference point for them to make changes in their lives if necessary or to recognize that the person that you're with needs to make changes in their lives. And it was a journey. It was a journey, but I think it was difficult. For me, it was difficult. I had to relive a lot of the F-boy-ish I put you through. And you forget about a lot of it because you don't have to relive it. But then when you start reliving it.

No, you forget about a lot of it. You ain't forget. I ain't forget nothing. I think it's men. That's the point, though, right? Because it's like we don't realize how much we do hurt our women. Is that true, though? Yeah, I think so.

I don't think we realize how deep that thing goes. That sounds like an okey-doke to me. No, I don't think we... Until you actually sit down and have those, you know, uncomfortable conversations, you don't realize how much you affected your woman. If your wife cheated on you and told you that she would have no idea how much that it stood to hurt you would that make sense to you probably not but i mean men don't make sense you believe that you're you believe that you're born inherently with like a deficit it's not a deficit but i

just don't think common sense i don't think we i don't think we're thinking about it you know what i mean like we like that's the sad part. It's selfish. It is selfish. And that's what keeps you from doing it in the future. You know what I mean? Because you do not want to hurt the woman that you love. And it's so crazy because I saw that with my pops. Like, I saw the pain that that caused my mom with his infidelity. So in my mind, I was like, damn, I'm about to make the same mistake.

So I think it is difficult when you got to relive it because you don't want to talk about it because we don't want to trigger you. You know, some people feel people i don't get triggered though damn what what that scared me just now i'm about to call security no once i got to a point and it was a process once i got to a point where I accepted that it was my job to move on because I decided to forgive him and because because he had done all of the work and then some to regain my trust to earn grace from me. I got to a point where I no longer wanted to punish and I didn't have that inherent need to see him suffer. Because when you hurt and you say it all the time, hurt people, hurt people. When you're hurt, you want not just people, you want the person that hurt you to hurt. And

anytime that I felt any type of way, I made sure that he felt some type of way. So once I learned how to forgive, and that was a process because I wasn't necessarily a forgiving person before. Everything was very black and white to me, not very much gray. But once I learned and I understood that that's what was expected from me of God, I had to commit to that and do my best to live up to what forgiveness meant. And that's what set me free because when you forgive you don't forgive to ease the burden from the other person you forgive to ease the burden from you that's real what was the work you guys did together like you had to work on forgiveness

and when you said okay i'm gonna you know have to move on from this. But what was the work that he did that let you know, OK, he's serious. And, you know, I can finally just say I'm not getting triggered anymore. I'm going to let this go. One of the first things was I realized that he understood the impact of what had happened, what he did. He understood it. He didn't just accept it and was accountable for it, but he actually understood. He would do things that a lot of men wouldn't do. He would sit there through those eight hour conversations locked in a room. He answered every question that I had. And I had a lot of questions and he answered them all truthfully. And, you know, when you ask somebody a question and you can tell by their answer, because I mean, the answers weren't pretty. They weren't things

that I would have wanted to hear. He went through all of the separation, as I call it, and he did it until because a lot of guys, when they mess up and I mean, a lot of them have told me i have friends and that have gone through it it's like listen i did it i apologize i said i was never gonna do it again i mean that ish right but it's like every day i'm being punished i'm being punished i'm being reminded it's like let it go i apologize like what more do you want from me blood he never took that approach with me it It was the until. Until you are good. Until you are healed.

If I have to be a punching bag, I will be that. If I have to be a doormat, I will be that. I will do anything that it makes to survive this because I cannot be without you. And he proved it every single day. It was as though, and he was like this before, but it was even more so during this time. It was as though he communicated to me that the only thing that he wanted was to make me happy. And that's pretty much how he lives his life. He lives his life every day, waking up thinking like,

damn, how can I make Gia's life easier today? How can I make Gia happier today? But to answer your question, it was the until. It was the indefinite. And it was the willingness to do any and everything to earn what he lost back. And was there ever a question in your mind? I know there was a point when you thought, no matter what I do, she's never going to take me back. Was there ever a time when you were like...

If you cry, I'm going to come over there and hug you. I'm just letting you know. You better hold them tears. I'm going to hug the shit out of you from the back if you cry in front of your wife. And then flex your pelvis. But yes, if you're question front of your wife. And then flex your pelvis. Catch that little feel. At that point,

I didn't know what was going to happen, but I was like, I have to be honest to at least get my friend back. And at that point, I didn't know what Gia was going to do. I thought it was a wrap. But I was like, I still wanted my friend. I still wanted somebody I can talk to. I still wanted a relationship with her that we can bounce. She's all I thought it was a wrap. But I was like, I still wanted my friend. I still wanted somebody I can talk to. You know, I still wanted a relationship with her that we can bounce.

Like, she's all I knew since I was 16. So, I still wanted my friend back. And she's Jamaican. That could have been forever beef.

That could have been forever. But you know, it's interesting that you didn't kick him out of the house. You were still polite to him. You still wanted to maintain a co-parenting friendship.

I feel like that hurts more when you're like, we're not having sex. And I might end up with somebody else one day. a co-parenting friendship. I feel like that hurts more when you're like, we're not having sex and I might end up with somebody else one day, but, you know, we're cool. That hurts more, I think, sometimes than just completely

like being nasty to somebody and cutting them off. Yes. Well, when I found out divorce was imminent, it was never a question. I was raised by a very strong mother who taught me that if a man ever disrespects you to that degree, then you walk.

So it didn't matter how much I loved Rashawn and how much I would have missed him. It didn't matter if I cried every night. It did not matter one iota how I felt. The only thing that was important to me was that I operated with my head and not my heart. And that I did what I always said that I was going to do. So when I found out, when it was confirmed for me, and you can read the book and see the entire story. But when he confirmed it, we were in a parking lot. And when I drove away from that parking lot it was a few days before christmas and his mother was at the house helping me decorate because we were hosting that year but i walked into the house and i told her i said christmas

is canceled and she said oh she said we mean christmas is canceled and i said well i just found out that rashaun cheated on me and we're getting a divorce so there's not gonna be any Christmas this year um at least I'm not hosting yo it's wild that people actually cancel Christmas I thought that was just a figure of speech no no if this happened we canceling Christmas you cancel Christmas yeah cancel Christmas well in in the sense of us hosting I wasn't going to cancel it for our children, but, you know, we didn't have to decorate for 30 people to come over. And my lovely mother-in-law, hi, Mama, she defended her beautiful son with everything that she could because... Them bitches lying.

Pretty much. And when she said something to that effect, I said, but for the fact that he just told me that it was true and he came home maybe 20 or 30 minutes later and it was a whole thing right but I was adamant that we were getting a divorce I contacted an attorney paid an attorney it was decided but, there were a whole host of things that happened that convinced me that God had other plans. All right, well, don't move. We got more with Gia Casey. We're talking our new book, Real Life, Real Love. Let's get into a Mary J. Blige joint.

Here's Real Love. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It was Mary J. Blige with real love morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking in with guia casey we're here talking about our new book real life real love charlamagne what did god say to you you know i wasn't raised raised with this deeply instilled faith where I felt as though I knew God. And I lived differently because I didn't know God in that way. So when God revealed himself to me, and he may have tried for years, you see, but I wouldn't have, I didn't speak his language.

I would have never been able to interpret God trying to reach out to me. So I really believe that this happened so that me particularly, not even Rashawn, so that I could be humbled. When God spoke, he spoke through other people. And when I found out what happened, it's funny. We were being approached for reality shows at the time and when he took someone's terrible advice to apologize to me on the radio and make our personal woes

private, yeah our personal woes public I didn't know though I didn't know, though. I didn't know what he was going through. He'd just be laying on the floor. I didn't know. He'd be like, out of it. I'm like, yo, what the fuck is your problem? I didn't know what it was. So as I'm prodding him,

like, what the hell is going on? I didn't know that was coming. Oh, okay. Yeah, I didn't know that was coming. Oh, so when he apologized, you didn't know what he was apologizing for? No, he would literally come in here and be like, laid out on the floor in the fetal position the whole show. He would not be here with us. He wouldn't be present. And I just knew something was wrong.

You should call him out of the air and apologize. So I'm like, no. I was like, when he gets on the air, I'm going to ask him on the air, what the f*** is his problem? Because I was tired of asking him behind the scenes. And so I asked him on the air. I didn't know that was coming, though. It was a terrible idea. But maybe it was the same dose of common sense that you guys are talking about.

Men seem to be born with it. Men think differently. Like, that's a grand gesture or something. Yes. But when it was made public, one of my best friends, his name is Rashid. He's the husband of my other best friend. Her name is Sasha. He called to see if what he had heard was true because he thought that maybe it was just

something being drummed up because we're supposed to be on a reality show or something like that when he called i said no everything that you heard is absolutely true it's it's a terrible story um as you said you know roshan was circling the drain at that time and rashid decided to come to New York from California because he lives in LA but we had a very horrible event happen at our home and you can read about it in the book but Rashid didn't like me

Rashid you know he always thought our relationship was toxic you were too controlling which I was at times but so he didn't like me so the fact that he flew in to try to save this relationship meant at times. So he didn't like me. So the fact that he flew in to try to save this relationship meant a lot because he already didn't like me. I thought you said Tyrese saved the relationship. That too.

That's coming. That was the sign. We're telling too much. Well, what happened was he flew in, and I didn't want him there because our marriage was ending, and I just wanted to be by myself. But he insisted. He said, I'm flying into New York Newark International Airport at such a

such a time come get me I went I got him and that was the start of the biggest change that we that we needed to go to go through he came to our house and I said why are you here and he said God sent me here mmm I said of all people you you're the only person in our lives that didn't champion our marriage. You're the only one that ever told me that maybe he's not the right person for me. Why you? He said, Gia, I don't know. I've been praying since I got off the phone with you after that terrible thing happened. And I walked into my boss's office, told him I had to take a leave of absence, went home, packed a bag and got on a plane and headed here.

And it's only through the assignment of God. God spoke to me. I said, so what does that mean? Like, are you hearing voices? Like, what do you mean God spoke to you? And he said to me, when God speaks to you, it's as though he puts an overwhelming feeling on your heart. And when he tells you to do something, you don't ask any questions. You just do it.

And I said, okay, well, basically I'm going to have to wrap my mind around that because I didn't have the tools to really understand that. And he stayed with us for about maybe 10, 12 days. And he taught us a lot about God and faith and spirituality and what his assignment was. And he brought in his pastor. Her name was Sister Nancy. She had the same feedback from God when she prayed. And this was all new to me. And I was actually very angry because now I have people in my life that I respect and love that are telling me that I have to stay in a relationship that I'm adamant on getting out of. And it was very,

very heavy. I can't describe to you how heavy it was and how insistent he was in his assurance of what God communicated to him. And in the fast forward, Tyrese, same thing. I didn't know, you know,

we knew Tyrese coming up here doing interviews, but I didn't know Tyrese. I didn't have his number. He didn't have a new song, but when he heard me on the radio that day, he called and wanted to speak to Gia. And you can read it in the book because he got us together.

But he said the exact same thing. Like Tyrese and Rasheed was speaking to each other. And it was kind of like those two were the ones to really save my marriage. And they didn't know each other. And Gia, you had asked for a sign. Well, that was the thing. Because I was so angered by what I was hearing.

Like, oh, I was a victim being cheated on. Now I'm being victimized again by God telling me that I have to stay in a relationship, that I'm adamant about leaving. I don't understand this. And I'm not a big crier, but one day I was taking a shower and I began to cry. And I began to pray in the way that I was learning how to pray and I asked God for a sign that I can interpret for myself so at least it would feel as though I was making my own decision and a decision wasn't being made for me so I damn near begged for a sign

and then shortly after Tyrese called Rashawn and asked for him to set something up. And we went to Philippe Chow's. He came in with a backup singer and a guitarist. He performed Stay just for Rashawn and I. Then he sat down for about four hours and we had a conversation. And he tried to explain to me how a man can love you and still cheat at the same time. Because I didn't really understand that. But at the end of the conversation, I asked him, I said, you know, why are you here? You didn't you don't even know if I'm a good person. You don't know if this relationship is even worth salvaging. Why would you do that? You

didn't know, Rashawn. You have no dog in this fight. You have nothing to gain or lose. You're supposed to be at a wedding somewhere else. You changed your flights to be here. Why? He said, God sent me here to do this. I said, what do you mean God sent you here to. Why? He said, God sent me here to do this. Damn. I said, what do you mean God sent you here to do this? He said, God sent me. I said, are you hearing voices? He said, no.

And then he reiterated verbatim exactly what Rashid said to me in my kitchen that day. And I had to ask Tyrese, I said, is that like in the Bible? Is that what you just said is that like a thing that people know and he said no I'm just telling you how I feel like what do you mean at that moment I just like threw my hands up and I said okay and I looked at Rashawn and I said I forgive you I don't know what that means I will work on this with you I don't know what that means. I will work on this with you. I don't know how long that will take. I will do what I'm now believing is required of me. But we're going to be in for a ride because I'm not really there.

But I can commit to you in this moment because there is not that much coincidence in the world for what just happened. Thank you, God. Yes. I'm sorry, Gia. I'm sorry to my wife, too. feel like apologizing i'm sorry to all women all right we got more with my wife gear casey when we come back we're talking our new book that's out right now real life real love so don't go anywhere it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's djvy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special

guest still in the building, my wife, Gia Casey. We're talking about our new book, Real Life, Real Love, Life Lessons on Joy, Pain, and the Magic that Holds Us Together. You could pick it up today or you can get it on Audible or Kindle or wherever you get your books. Yee. Envy, let me ask you, because, you know, for

women, we always are like, and like you said, Tyrese was having a conversation, how a man can't cheat on you but still love you. Yeah. But why? Like, you know, that's something that for women we always want to know, and I'm sure you had so many conversations. I still don't like his answer.

I don't necessarily agree with what Tyrese said. I really feel that until you know the definition of what love really means, I think a lot of times people just say, I love you. And oh, it's, oh, I love you. But until you understand the definition of what love means, then you realize I don't, if I love somebody, like I say, you don't want to hurt them. You don't want to cheat on them.

You don't want to disrespect them. You don't want to have them looking crazy because you love that person. And I don't think I knew the definition of love. But when I figured that definition of what love is and what Gia meant to me, you know, you realize I don't think I knew the definition of love. But when I figured that definition out of what love is and what Gia meant to me, you know, you realize, I don't want to hurt her. I don't want to see her cry. I don't want to see her feel a way.

I don't want to disrespect her. I don't want to be controlling. I don't want to be any of those things. And when you realize what that definition is, your outlook of life changes. I agree with you. And I'll add on, because I've explored this in therapy. When you say you can cheat and still love a person,

you might, but you don't really love yourself. Yeah. I think a lot of times, not a lot of times, all the time, men cheat for ego. Oh, yeah.

Like I said, it's wounded ego. It's something that we're lacking. It has nothing to do with our wives, nothing to do with our girlfriends. It's something that we feel like we're lacking for whatever reason. And that's what we go and do.

It's literally just to feed our ego. Nothing more, nothing less. You think women cheat for the same reason as men or you think it's different? Like when women cheat, you think they cheat for different reasons? I think women also cheat for ego. Who doesn't like to have the attention

of the opposite sex? You know, especially when you are at a deficit and you do have holes and you need those holes filled. And most people have slight holes, you know, not that you're out there thirsty for the attention of the opposite sex, but even if it's of the same sex, when someone pays you a compliment, like it's nice to be wanted is essentially what I'm saying. So for women, yeah. I mean, I think that if you're with someone and you cheat, I think a big part of it is ego. But then, you know, you'll have people that say that

they cheat because the person at home isn't doing what they're supposed to do, you know, and we have a son, Logan, he's 18. So he's starting to date seriously and whatnot now. And I had a conversation with him the other day. And I said, listen, if you commit to a girl and you make her your girlfriend, one thing I do not want you to do is cheat. Do not come to me and tell me that you guys broke up because you cheated on her, because I've raised you better than that. If you decide that you want something else or she's not satisfying whatever needs you have, break up with her and move on to the next. And if within a week you feel the same way about that girl, break up with her and move on to the next. Do not cheat

because you're sacrificing your own integrity when you do that. And that's pretty much a sign of really not loving yourself. When you love yourself, you want to be self-actualized. You want to be your best self. You want to reach your highest potential. You want to be a kind, a good person. And you owe that to yourself. You don't necessarily owe it to the other person. You owe it to yourself to do those things. And that's what I'm trying to instill in him as my oldest male child.

One of the biggest things I think that came out of this was all the work that he did do on himself. And he was suicidal at a point. We know that, right that right yes i don't think that was all because of what was going on with you i think it was like i said it was other things that he was dealing with inside of him that probably got him to that point yes we would have to ask him because we've never um had a conversation of it being about anything besides the um threat

of losing our relationship um i would say this i I would say, you know, I used to look at people who committed suicide as soft and sucker. Like that's what society made you think. Until I got into that predicament where I felt like my life, well, everybody's life around me would be better if I wasn't here. And I couldn't shake it. And majority of it was losing my wife, losing my family, losing the thing that I knew and that I love. And I really feel like I couldn't shake it. And majority of it was losing my wife, losing my family, losing the thing that I knew and that I love. And I really feel like I didn't want to be there. And I guess it was everything else that we said, like the insecurities that made me do it, the insecurities around me. And I just didn't know who I was as a person.

Ooh, that's powerful. That's the biggest what i will say during all of that in all those conversations and all those late night talks and with praying you feel like you realize who you are as a person and once you figure that out you figure out who you want to be who you want to who you want to live like and you don't care about anything else you know at one time i used to care what people thought now i don't care as long as my wife and my family's happy, everything else is just white noise behind it. Just think about how much stronger you guys are as individuals and your marriage is so much stronger after everything you've been through.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. If he said something powerful, too, because this business will have you living a lie. Because we're characters, right? So we create these characters that kind of protect the Rashawn and protect the Lenard.

We go home and we're one way, but but then we out in the street being another way. But you can't do both. Eventually that negative is going to catch up. Yeah. So that's why I think he was going through. Like, not only just the threat of losing you, but just like, who am I? Was that hard for you? Having this dual personality almost?

Absolutely. Because, I mean, like, nothing's better now than to not care what people think. You know, I would have to think. Absolutely. Because I mean, like nothing's better now than to not care what people think. You know, I would have to freedom and freedom. I would have to think about what I was saying

on the radio and how it would affect me, how people would look at me. I would have to think about this or think about that instead of just being free and say,

hey, it is what it is. Take it how you like it. If you like me, you like me. If you love me, you love me. If you hate me,

you hate me. And once I got to that place, life became a whole lot better. See, a lot of gems in this book, you guys. I was thoroughly entertained. And like I said, I went through. You look stressed. I'm good.

I thought he'd been nervous all morning before you got here. I was not nervous. It's a triggering conversation. The book is out today. Go get it, man. Make sure you pick it up. Real life, real love. Get it today.

Life lessons on joy, pain, and the magic that holds us together. That's right. Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, wherever you buy books, your local bookstores, please pick it up today. And when you do read it, or you read it, please, what we want you to do is, we want you to tell us what you think about the book. Whether it's

a 30-second video, Tag, you and I, we want to repost it. Whether you love it, whether you hate it, we're going to repost all of them, because we love to get you guys' feedback. Yeah, and I think that y'all are going to help a lot of couples. And it's clear that y'all too are meant to be with each other. You know what I'm saying? One of my favorite chapters is called The New Deal. And it's pretty much about reparations that the offender has to make after offending their partner. And it's those things that

will help to signal to your partner that you just may be worthy of forgiveness and being extended grace. So what are those reparations? The first thing people will say is, oh, that's why he does the 12 days of Christmas. You know, that's right. A lot of people do say that. But I did that before. But you know what's funny? And that's the funny thing.

We've always done 12 days of Christmas. We just never made it public. And it's not the type of thing that at first I ever wanted to make public because it is grand. But I decided to start posting it because it's not

about the material items that he gives me for Christmas. It's about the intention behind it. It's about the intention behind it. It's about the thought. You know, he starts shopping almost a year in advance for that. And every gift comes with something special. A little note, a little treasure hunt to find the gift, a prayer, a poem, something that

is giving of his heart, not giving of his pocket. And that's why when you read the book and you hear y'all talk, that's why you understand why he got so upset at Desus and Mero. That's correct. You know what I'm saying? Because y'all relationship is so much deeper than that. Of course, you know, because with their comment, it almost to me suggests as though there's nothing else worthy about him.

That's right. That would signal me to stay aside from what he has to offer financially. And it's a joke, right? But we all know that all jokes are rooted in some truth. And that's what I think their truth was looking at it from an outsider. I wasn't some Jackie come lately and met somebody with money and was like, oh, come up. We ground it out from day one.

I was always there and supporting him and loving him. And if he failed and wound up being a secretary or anything followed another path, I would still be there. I think he'd be a proctologist.

A proctologist. He does that on the side of the hand. Did that take you? It took a beat to get that? I can't believe you're saying it. I just can't believe you're flirting with me with my wife here. I'm not.

What are you talking about? I'm just suggesting other career options that you could have taken. I can't believe you're flirting with me with my wife here. It's like you're disrespectful. Real life, real love. Thank you for having me, guys.

That's right. Pick it up today. And it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. No, you got to tell this guest I love you before you sign off. Yes. Dear Casey, thank you for joining us. I love you.

I love you, too. I love you. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.

I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. 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 trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God.

What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

We'll see you next time. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Who's donkey of the day today? Well, donkey of the day for Tuesday, April 19th, goes to the Pittsburgh Maulers of the USFL. I am sure many of you never even heard of the USFL, but that is the United States Football League. Eight teams, two divisions, north and south.

Each team will play a 10-game schedule, and they had their first game last night between the Tampa Bay Bandits and Pittsburgh Maulers, and the Tampa Bay Bandits won. But that's not why we are here today. We are here because I need the USFL to know that you will never be the NFL if y'all don't toughen up. I'm not talking about in terms of the play.

I'm talking about the coaches, organizations, and leagues, and league as a whole. Okay, see, in the NFL, we have seen the players do actual criminal things and keep their jobs. Okay. No need to go down the long list of things we've seen NFL players do and not get cut from teams. No need to go down the long list of things we have seen NFL players do

and stay in the league. But there's some heinous offenses, to say the least. Well, the USFL has a documentary series chronicling the lead up to the league's return. It's titled United by Football, a season in the USFL. And there's a clip from the documentary that shows Davion Smith being cut from the Pittsburgh Maulers, okay? What you are about to hear is not a sketch from Key and Peele.

This is not Chappelle Shaw or an episode of the Boondocks. These are actual events, okay? Any similarities, the persons living or dead, are actual events. Okay? Any similarities to persons living or dead are actual events is absolutely accurate. Okay? Let's go to the USFL documentary to see why Davion Smith

was cut from the Pittsburgh Maulers. Any disrespect to football or members, staff, USFL, hotel,

et cetera, would not be tolerated. And it's been brought to my attention that has occurred with you. So unfortunately, unfortunately, hear me out, unfortunately, cost of doing business,

I'm gonna have to let you go. I can tell you what happened exactly. It's not important, it's already happened. I didn't say anything disrespectful. He said, is that gonna be a problem? I said, yes. Me saying yes, I don't eat chicken salad. And I was like, is there another option?

Walked in with pizza, and I was like, can I get a slice of pizza? He said, no. I was like, he said get a slice of pizza? He said, no. I was like, he said, it's not going to be a problem. I said, yes. That's all I said. I didn't say no cuss word, nothing. That's all I said.

I promise you, no disrespect on my dad's life. I promise you, I didn't say nothing disrespectful besides yes. And I appreciate you sharing that. But the matter is, it's done. Someone's feelings hurt feelings or a distant second to the greater good of the team. And we've moved on and turned that page and I'm happy we did it. Davion Smith got cut because he wanted pizza over chicken salad.

That is considered crossing the line in the USFL. That is considered disrespect to staff in the USFL, at least on the Pittsburgh Marlins. Y'all are never going to be the NFL at this rate. This makes me not even want to watch. Okay, you got this grown man explaining why he wanted pizza over chicken salad. Chicken salad is cool. Is it? I don't even know if it's cool, but I think majority of people would choose pizza over chicken salad.

Now, I know Marlins coach Kirby, would say he fired Davion over the disrespect and not the food request. But what was disrespectful about what he said? They asked the man if he ate chicken salad. And he answered like the most of us in this country would. No. And he asked if there was something else he could eat. When a staff member came in with pizza, Davion claims he just asked if he could

have a slice. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Where is the disrespect? I think it's more disrespectful that a staff member couldn't share a slice of pizza with a player. Let me hear that little part again, just so I know I'm not tripping. Let me hear it. I didn't say anything disrespectful.

He said, is that going to be a problem? I said, yes. When he's saying yes, I don't eat chicken salad. And I was like, is there another option? Walked in with pizza. And I was like, can I get a slice of pizza he said no I was like he said it's not gonna be a problem I said yes that's all I said I didn't say no cuss word nothing no disrespect to you chicken lovers you chicken salad lovers but who eats chicken salad I am 43 years old and cannot think of one time I have ever ordered a chicken salad anything.

I'll put grilled chicken on top of my salad, but chicken salad with the mayonnaise, hard-boiled eggs, celery, onion, pepper, pickles, and a variety of mustards? That wasn't something that was happening in the slums I'm from. Y'all eat chicken salad? We actually have an amazing chicken salad toast at Coffee Uplifts People, my coffee shop. Yeah, you seem like the chicken salad type. You eat chicken salad? When I heard chicken salad, I thought it was salad with grilled chicken on it.

No, it's the chicken salad. No. You eat chicken salad, right? Nick, you eat chicken salad? It sells very well. Whenever I see chicken salad, I think to myself, that's trans tuna, okay? Which I will never understand because chicken is chicken. Every meat wants to be like chicken whenever you eating something

That's not beef turkey or goat. What do we say it tastes like? Chicken okay every meat wants to be like chicken including tuna What does tuna call itself the chicken of the sea? So why in the hell would chicken ever try to be like or look like tuna? And that's exactly what chicken salad is. Trans tuna. Okay? Davion Smith is absolutely right in regards to not eating chicken salad. And the Pittsburgh Marlins and Coach Kirby Moore should be ashamed of themselves.

Okay? Highly embarrassed that they cut that man because he chose pizza and y'all chose violence in the form of feeding people chicken salad. Please give the Pittsburgh Marlins and Coach Kirby Moore of the USFL the biggest hee-haw. Chicken salad. Can somebody put that poll up on

Breakfast Club page? I don't know if chicken salad a thing. Yeah. Maybe where you from? I mean, I didn't grow up eating that, but people really enjoy it and like it I order chicken salad from Chick-fil-A

no you're talking about a grilled chicken salad I'm talking about from Applebee's no I ain't talking about that kind of salad that come with lettuce

and kale and spinach it's pretty good I'm talking about the lettuce the chicken salad that looks like tuna nah B I don't eat seafood

so it's not like I eat tuna fish trans tuna that's what chicken salad is next time you order a chicken if you ever walk into a place It looks like tuna. Nah, B. I don't know what you're talking about. Plus, I don't eat seafood, so it's not like I eat tuna fish. Trans tuna. That's what chicken salad is. Next time you order a chicken, if you ever walk into a place and order a chicken salad, say, can I have one order of trans tuna, please? I bet you didn't know exactly what you're talking about.

Oh, that looks disgusting. Exactly. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, when we come back, let's talk orgasms. What happened? It's not Friday, sir. Where the hell you put a suit on?

Huh? Where the hell did you put a suit on? I just did. You really ghost from power. You just had on street wear, and then this all of a sudden you had on a suit. I got to do good. Am I tripping, Nick? Did he just have on street wear? I did.

I got to do good in New York this morning, so I clean up a little bit. Oh, okay. Hold on. Get your sharpie, fill your beard in. So yesterday we did an interview with The shade room and the shade room of course only posted a part of the interview and this is the part that they said of course I'm in the shade room I'm sure so many women can relate like you want to reward that man for that work and the only reward that you have to offer is an orgasm. But even if I didn't feel it, I would still be performative.

I was faking it. We got into like a argument and then she was like, well, you know, I don't mean having an orgasm. No, what you doing here? I'm not faking it. I'm not faking it. I'm not faking it. I'm not faking it.

I'm like every time. And she was like, yeah. And then that just crushed me because I thought I was putting in work. Like I'm sitting there thinking I'm, you know, Big Daddy Longleg. Big Daddy Longleg! I thought I was Mandingo. Even if you are Big Daddy Longleg, that don't mean that you're doing it right.

Okay? All right. So let's open up the phone lines. You ain't working that middle just because you Big Daddy Longleg. You got to know what you're doing down there. 585-105-1. We're asking, ladies, have you ever faked an orgasm? And if you did, why?

You know, when me and my wife wrote this book, I found out years ago that she was faking orgasms. So pretty much our first 10 years of our relationship. She absolutely goes into it in more depth on lip service while you were not in the room. I've heard this before. I even read it in the book. I don't know why it's so funny right now.

You got to remember, we were together since 16 and 15, so at about 17 when we started having sex, I didn't know what I was doing. I was her first. You said you was Big Daddy Longlegs. I thought I was Big Daddy Longlegs. I thought I was Mandingo, and I didn't know it, and then I realized you had to learn your words by heart.

You're too big to be a Mandingo. You be a Tandingo. I thought I was a Tandingo. What are you talking about? And for the first, you know, year, a couple of years, I didn't know what I was doing, and I had to learn her body and learn what made her orgasm.

So we're asking, ladies here, do you ever faked an orgasm? If so, why? Let's talk about it. Don't make that sound so nonchalant, King. We're going to stay on you

for a while, all right? You ain't staying on me It took you a decade? Daddy Long Leg? Took Daddy Long Leg a decade? I'm good now. We've been together 27 years. First 9, 10 was a little rocky.

Are you sure you're good? How do you know you're good? How do you know the acting hasn't gotten better? You want to try? I haven't orgasmed in 12 years from you. Okay. So I feel her pain. I hate you.

Look, 805-85-1051. Let's talk about it. I hate you. It, 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. I hate you. It's 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.

Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us with talking, have you ever faked an orgasm? Now, this came from my new book, Real Life, Real Love, that's out right now. The wife and I did an interview with Shade Room, and they posted a clip of it, and Gia talks about her faking an orgasm.

And she faked it for a long time, and we had to learn each other's bodies. I mean, we didn't know her. When I met her, she was 15, I was 16, and we had to learn each other. You didn't have to fake it, right? No, I didn't have to fake it. I'm sorry, Gia.

You had to go through that. Shut up. On a scale of one to your beard and hairline, how fake was her orgasm? Yee, have you ever faked an orgasm? No, not really really i've just lied about it but i've never made like the noises and pretended it was happening goodness gracious she faked it but women don't have orgasms well unless you're super fortunate every time you know

charlamagne you um i think that we should this is you know you know we're joking uh the reality of the situation is the best thing that y'all did in that situation is talk about it correct you know what i'm saying even though she did have to lie for 10 years you know what i mean i think you should have you know she should have told you the truth much much sooner but you do have to have those conversations you know what i mean like you know don't worry about hurting the man's ego like if that man isn't doing what he's supposed to be doing you know tell him so y'all can figure out how to do it properly so everybody can be satisfied yes and after we had that conversation everything was fun after that but you know like i said we were learning each other

don't awe me it sounds sad shut up sad for gear no it does sound sad it sounds like chicken salad for some reason shut up hello who's this Hello, who's this? Hello? Hello. Hey, what's your name? Hey, Alicia. Hey, Alicia. You ever faked an orgasm? Yeah. Out of 13 years of being sexually active,

I maybe had three of them. And dudes be adamant, but be like, oh, nah, you got wet. Nah, that don't mean I had an orgasm. I peed on you. Do you still enjoy sex even if you don't have an orgasm, though?

I mean, no. Honestly, it's like I'm getting humped on you. Do you still enjoy sex even if you don't have an orgasm, though? I mean, no. Honestly, it's like I'm getting humped on for no reason. Letting that man sweat on you for no reason? For no reason. That's why you gotta have these conversations. You gotta tell the man what they doing wrong, man. But it's hard to have those conversations

when you're a teenager. You can have a conversation and this man in his head, his ego is like, what? So we've been doing this this long and you telling teenager, 17, because you don't know. You can have a conversation and this man in his head, his ego is like, what? So we've been doing this this long and you're telling me, yeah, that's what I'm telling you.

Nah, nah, it's not that. Damn. All right. Well, thank you, mama. I get what you're saying. Men do have fragile egos. Yeah, you don't want to hurt his feelings. But in order to boost him,

because you got to think about it, all you're offering him is free lessons. So that means more sex until y'all get it right. Yeah. That still hurts your ego, though. you hey what's up who's this desire hey good morning desire now have you faked the orgasm before yes i have how many times and why oh well it was like in my youth because i i guess i used to date older men back then so i guess it was in my youth when i used to do a lot of faking because you know i didn't really know what the real orgasm was until I got, like, you know, up in age to where I can recognize that, okay, this is what it is.

Okay, you needed to know your body better. Right. That old man didn't know what he was doing? Nah, they didn't know what they was doing. Now, hold on. When you say old man, what do you mean old man? How old were you? At that time, my father was like 20.

He probably was like maybe about to push 40. How old was she? She was 21, and he was maybe about to push 40. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, it was going to be age difference. All right. It's hard to tell people what to do if you don't even know. Correct.

800-585-1051. We're asking, have you ever faked an orgasm? Yesterday, we did an interview with Shade Room, and they posted a clip of it where Gia was talking about how she faked an orgasm. It's in our new book, Real Life, Real Love, and the reason that she did fake it and how we got over that. We're very transparent, so hopefully we can help you guys and start these conversations. Oh, man. there was a question

I should have asked her. I just was thinking about it. Have you ever faked an orgasm? That's the question and why. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. 800-585-1051 Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy We are the Breakfast Club If you're just joining us, we're asking

Have you ever faked an orgasm? Now this comes from my new book with my wife Real Life, Real Love We were talking with Shade Room yesterday And they played a clip on Shade Room And I've seen it had like over 3 million views. It was crazy, and people were asking, and people were joking like, ah-ha, but it happens.

Me and my wife, we've been together since I said very early. All those guys laughing done got lied to. All you guys in there that were laughing and making jokes, you're just not honest with yourself. Now, Charlamagne, how's it happen to you? Not that I know of, but I mean, you know, me and my wife have been together for 24 years. So it's not like, you know, either one of us came out the gate, you know, knowing exactly what we were doing. But, you know, you grow and you evolve.

And the more you're with each other, the more you start to talk to each other about what it is that you like, what it is that you don't like, how you like it, you know. And those are the conversations you should have when you're in a relationship. Like, I don't understand people that sit around and just have terrible sex for no damn reason. You're lucky you were her first. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like, it makes no sense. It makes no sense. You're nothing to compare it to. To be having terrible sex. Remember when the other guy made me orgasm? Now I'm stuck here. All right. But also, most people, the truth to the matter is,

most people's first orgasms come from themselves. You know what I'm saying? When they're playing around and experimenting with masturbation. That's not how mine came. We don't want to know. I feel like that's a human resource problem. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Cree.

Good morning, Breakfast Club. Good morning. We're asking, have you ever faked an orgasm? Of course. Of course. How many times and why? I don't think there's anybody that has it. Hmm?

I don't think there's anybody that has it. Right. What's the point, though? I'm talking about women. I'm talking about women. I think it's along with age and experience. I was kind of a late bloomer when it came to sex. I didn't lose my virginity until 18.

And then, you know, I wasn't really sure of how it was supposed to go. So, you know, being young, we're all learning. You know, we're all learning on what's supposed to happen, how it's supposed to feel. And it's a process. I don't think it's, you know, anything bad. We don't know what else to do. If you've been in the process of huffing and puffing and sweating, you're like, okay, it's time to just stop.

But that's what I don't understand. What's the point of faking the orgasm? Like, it doesn't help either party. No, it doesn't. But I think you've got to get to a point where you feel comfortable. And that's what I was saying. It's a process of, you know, I think of, I haven't done it as a grown woman, but when I was younger, I did.

And I didn't know how to express myself and communicate and let them know, you know, this is what you have to do here. And I was still learning my own body. Right. But in my 40s and when I hit my prime, oh no, I won't fake anything. So you're the type to say, ouch. We're going to get this right. You're the type to say, ouchouch even when the man pee pee a little i don't know i mean when i was younger like i said i didn't know it was a learning experience but

you know as you get older women hit their prime in their 40s i don't know any woman in their 40s who's still faking it all right i would hope not i would hope not yeah i would hope you shouldn't be faking it and you shouldn't be saying ouch when the man pee pee a little saying, ouch, when the man pee-pee little, you a super grimoire. What do you say? You don't say nothing. The pee-pee's little. Hello, who's this? Hey, this Lynn.

Lynn, do you fake orgasms? Okay, I have faked orgasms in the past, and women do fake orgasms all the time, more than men might know um and mostly it's because men to be out here probably had a sex with themselves like they'll be doing it for what makes them feel good maybe forgetting to get the woman off so then when they have to lay there and you know oh i came and okay maybe we did it and it's like Okay you know You did good Really you did it I'm about to go get my toy

And finish myself off Wow Geesh Like I'm gonna get it It's just not from you Wow okay It's not from you And it happens

And it's unfortunate But when you're with somebody Like you love Or you like really like And you care about You're gonna tell them Like hey babe That's not really worth it for me

Or this is what you have to do Would you do that next to him if he didn't finish it? Like, if he didn't finish, would you grab your toy and lay next to him and finish? Heck yeah. Like, I mean, if it's somebody that you're comfortable with, you know? Like, sometimes, even sometimes when you're with your man for a long time, they're not going to do it every time for you. Right, it doesn't always happen.

Yeah. Yeah, you know, I think it's fair that women fake orgasms long time, they're not going to do it every time. Right. It doesn't always happen. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I think it's fair that women fake orgasms because men fake liking women and their poom poom all the time. And that's not a conversation a woman can handle. You can't tell a woman that her poom poom's trash. Y'all would have a fit. People need to have conversations.

They need to ask, hey, what do you like? Right. Not enough people ask, what do you like? That's an important question. Everybody does not like the same thing in bed. So when you say orgasm, men fake like women, it happens. Because then when a man tells a woman that her poom-poom trash, what does she do?

What can you do for that as a woman? One man's trash is another man's treasure. Allegedly. Until you talked about three or four men. I want to have guys fake it. You said what? I want to do guys fake it. I've heard guys say they faked it before too. Really? On lip service. They've talked about it. Okay. What's the

moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is go buy Real Life, Real Love. The book by Gia Casey and DJ Envy is out today everywhere you buy books, man. If you like laughing at DJ Envy like I do, this is the book for you. It actually made me feel like I gotta be nicer

to Envy. Thanks. The subtitle of this book could have been The Roast of Rashawn Casey, alright? It's the evolution. It is the one woman roast from Gia Casey to Rashawn. They went through a lot, but I definitely wanted to give Gia a hug after this. That's the evolution.

I mean, we start young. We don't really know. I was an F boy coming up and I changed. Now I'm this nice prince. Now you're an F man. You're a king with a fake beard. Oh my goodness.

We got rumors on the way, you idiots. Yes, and the man who supplied drugs to Mac Miller has been sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison. We'll tell you

along with a clip where he's channeling his inner Joker. I pray for my enemies. I pray for my friends. I pray for the one who will betray me again. I pray for the one who will betray me again. Pray for the killers. I pray for the saints. Please pray for me now.

Cause, dog, I pray for you. So, what is that, this Friday? This Friday, yep. I already told y'all this is Pusha T's best body of work. Most people who've heard it's almost dry absolutely positively agree. So I can't wait for the ecosystem to hear Pusha T. Yeah, I haven't heard it yet. I'm excited about this one this weekend. No, you're going to sell more than Coil Array.

I mean, we have to ask those questions, you know. First week sales don't matter. They don't. I'm just saying. She did a great job with her singles. Sure. And I salute to Koi Luray and everything that she did. I'm just saying that people are going to be looking for that.

All right. That's the bad to sales battle we didn't know we needed. All right. Well, Benzino did drop a new song called Zeno vs. the Planet where he addresses Koi Luray as well as 50 Cent. Here is part of it. The episode is part of it. And then, you know, he's been going back and forth with 50 regarding his relationship with trans actress Shawna Brooks. Here's what he said about 50.

All right. Well, hopefully the two of them, actually, no, I don't know if they'll ever resolve things and 50 will never stop. So there you have it. All right. Amber Rose has revealed that she needs help with the slut walk this year in order for the event to continue here's what she had to say hey guys we're on our way to coachella and today we are wearing slut walk 2022 um because we haven't had a slut walk in three years the first year i was pregnant i was very sick so i couldn't do it and obviously the last two years because of covid but to be honest with you guys i personally cannot

do slut walk by myself anymore i just can't like i need a lot of sponsors i need a lot of money to put it on i need live nation aeg i need somebody big to really come in and help me with this because, you know, just by myself and me and my team, over 20,000 people show up. She went ahead and told people to please tag AEG and Live Nation to get this done. And she wants to have it in Miami this year so everybody can go crazy. All right. And the Kardashians have appeared in court yesterday for jury selection in the family's case against Blac Chyna. Now, they're saying that Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kylie and Kris Jenner all appeared in court yesterday for jury selection in the family's case against Blac Chyna. Now, they're saying that Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kylie and Kris Jenner all appeared in court. But Rob Kardashian, who's Blac Chyna's ex, was was not there.

They were there to present to witness their legal team and China's own representatives were there to select the trial's jury. All right. So Blac Chyna was also spotted making her way into the courthouse. Now, according to Associated Press, they're saying potential jurors actually had some issues with the Kardashians and aired their disdain to their faces. One person said anything that has to do with their names is just a big no for me. Another said, I sincerely hope none of these people get any wealthier because of this. One woman said her teenage daughter tried to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians when it first came on, but she put a stop to it. She said, I don't think they were the best role models. I wouldn't let her watch anything involving them.

One person said, I just want to say I have a very negative perception of the parties and I'm not sure I could be unbiased. So those were some people that they were looking at as far as trying to choose who is going to be part of that jury. Okay. And the man who supplied drugs to Mac Miller has been sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison for his involvement in that accidental drug overdose. Ryan Michael Rivas, who's 39 years old, said he was the middleman with no knowledge that the counterfeit pills he provided to another drug dealer were laced with fentanyl. He said he did not know the pills that he provided caused Mac Miller's death until his arrest in Arizona in September 2019, according to the press. He said,

this is not just a regular drug case. Somebody died and a family is never going to get their son back. My family would be wrecked if it was me. They'd never be all right, never truly get over it. I think about that all the time. He also was sentenced to three years of supervised release with drug testing. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
