The Breakfast Club - Should the Lockdown be Over?

Episode Date: April 17, 2020

Today on the show we had Dr. Phil call in where he spoke about possibly reopening the economy, the corona virus and more. Also, we opened up the phone lines after news broke about possibly reopening the economy, so we asked our listeners if they think it is a good idea. And Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to yet another Florida man who murders someone right after coming out of jail.

Even though Babyface is a whole legend, a god, a king, whatever, you know, words you can use to describe the best in his field, the best in his class,

Babyface is that. But I'm going with Teddy Riley just because that's my personal favorite. Thank you with my heart on this one. Okay. All right. Well, Dr. Phil will be joining us this morning. My guy. So we'll kick it with Dr. Phil and see what he's been doing during this quarantine.

He's still been taping, right? He's been taping at the crib, right? Yeah, from home. I saw he did a bunch of interviews. Okay. He's doing a show like a saw he did a bunch of interviews. Okay. He's doing his show like a lot of other talk shows are doing. They show from the crib. Okay.

So we'll kick it with Dr. Phil in a little bit. And then we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, Donald Trump is revealing the whole phases plan about, quote, opening up America. He's aiming for May 1st. But he also said some places could literally open back up today. Oh, boy. All right.

We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.

Where are we starting, Yee? Well, Donald Trump yesterday announced new guidelines to try to reopen the states. He's saying as soon as May 1st. It depends on what state you're in, of course. Here's what he has to say about opening up America. Our approach outlines three phases in restoring our economic life. We are not opening all at once, but one careful step at a time. And some states will be able to open up sooner than others.

Now that we have passed the peak in new cases, we're starting our life again. We're starting rejuvenation of our economy again in a safe and structured and very responsible fashion. He also went on to say, you look at montana wyoming north dakota that's a lot different than new york it's a lot different than new jersey and some of those places could open even today if they meet this criteria which will tell you i mean they know more than us i mean they are the ones listening to the experts they're the ones that told that

told us to stay home so they're gonna be the ones to tell us to go outside. Are you going to listen? Dr. Deborah Burks, who is a task force member, gave us the different phases. Phase one, it recommends social distancing, closure of schools, teleworking, sheltering in place for vulnerable individuals. Non-essential travel would be discouraged. Bars will

remain closed. Visits to nursing homes and hospitals should remain prohibited. Phase two, they would allow schools, restaurants, and bars to reopen with diminished occupancy. Non-essential travel can resume and people can gather in groups no larger than 50, but they still encourage working from home. This is for the employers. We still would like to encourage telework. And they said common areas should remain closed to be physically distant and phase three workplaces will reopen with no restrictions and visits senior care centers and hospitals can

resume and when do these phases roll out though are they like you know it's one now there's another six months from now is another six months from that like when do these phases roll out does she give a time frame well governors according to what states you're in and what it's looking like there, will be the ones to decide that. Here's what else Donald Trump had to say. If they need to remain closed, we will allow them to do that. And if they believe it is time to reopen, we will provide them the freedom and guidance to accomplish that task.

We are also encouraging states to work together to harmonize their regional efforts. I don't know how confident I am in that, though. People still got to take the train. People still got to take buses to work. They've been doing that, though. That's pretty dangerous. Yeah, but you're thinking of New York. And like you said, it is a state-by-state thing.

There are some places where there's barely any cases at all. Absolutely. So the way that these phases work is you have a 14 day period. And if everything in phase one goes well for a 14 day period, there's no cases and all of that. Then you can start proceed to another phase. That was on my, any major city, like,

you know, any major city, Chicago, whether it's New York, LA, you know, Atlanta, people got to take public transportation to work and people are on top of each other and then they

go to work. You're a city boy. You're not from the rural South like me. So the rest of the country is not the city. You know what I mean? So it is places where they not on the trains, they not on the buses and there are, they are a little bit more social distance from each other because the cities aren't so dense. Right, and I think in phase one, also the way that phase one works, they still are recommending people work from home. So that still would not have so many people on public transportation if they're in a city

that depends on that largely. So that wouldn't even resume until phase two. And phase two is just non-essential travel. When non-essential travel can resume, they still recommend that people work from home. And phase three is with no restrictions. So that means that you continue to have a downward trajectory of coronavirus cases for over a month.

Okay. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Now get it off your chest. 800-585-1051 if you need to vent. Hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it.

Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.

Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or? Get it off your chest. What's up, man? I just want to drop a bomb for my beautiful wife, Jessica. And I want to wish my son a very happy birthday. I mean, it sucks that he can't have a birthday party and everything, but we're going to try to make it as fun for him as possible. He turns 13 today. All right.

Well, happy birthday to you, man. Happy born, idiot seed, King. Hey, man, thank you guys. And thank you guys for still being on, man. Love you guys. Thank you. Hello, who's this? This is Monique. Come on in, Monique Love you guys. Thank you. Hello, who's this? This is Monique. Come on in, Monique.

Get it off your chest. I just wanted to have a comment on what you said. I pretty much agree with what you're saying. I don't believe they should open up the economy so quick, the country so quick, because I work in a prison in Florida, and just thinking about, you know, the inmates and everything, you know,

if you open it up so quick, then, you know, we are affecting inmates because at this point in time, the inmates are more safe than what we are. That's not how a lot of the inmates I know feel. A lot of the inmates I know feel like they're vulnerable because they said the COs don't have PPE and they don't have proper PPE. See, well, we do. I don't know what prison you're talking about, but in Florida, we do. Rikers. We, oh, you see about, but in Florida, we do have a prison.

We, oh, you see, that's, I'm in Florida, so we have gloves, we have to wear masks, we have to get temperature checks before we even come into the gate, and if our temperature is a certain temperature, we can't even come to work before it's today. Wow. Oh, okay, okay. That's smart. Yeah. Every prison's different,

I guess. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But I agree with that, too. I don't think it should open this school because I know the governor down here is talking about allowing the kids to go back to school. So if the curve isn't happening, you know, we putting our kids at risk. Right. Well, let me ask you a question, then. Who do you listen to when it's time to go back?

Do yourself? Because we're in the house because the experts told us to stay in the house. if the experts are telling us okay cool it's okay to go outside but with these regulations we're not gonna listen to them which i mean i i mean what by thinking about my kids i'm not you know i'm gonna affect my kids during all this i haven't even allowed my kids to come outside like if i gotta go to the grocery store i'm not gonna allow my kids to go because i'd rather me get sick than my kids. Yeah, because the experts didn't close the school, and I took my kids out of school a week early.

The experts didn't tell me when the school was closed. No, I took my kids out a week early, and even if they said school is back, I'm not putting my kids back in this year. That's just me. That's my personal feelings. I feel y'all 100%. They don't know what's going on, in my opinion. The experts don't know what's going on?

So when do we know when to get back to society, then? We just going to rely on our gut instincts? I mean, I think when it starts going a lot further down, then, yeah, I got to rely on my instincts. The curve is flattening, though. But every day something changes. Every day is, oh, we didn't know this. Because at first, they didn't want us to wear masks.

Then they wanted us to wear masks. Like, they necessarily didn't know this. Because at first, they didn't want us to wear masks. Then they wanted us to wear masks. Like, they necessarily don't know everything. I just do think that it is a state-by-state thing. Like, in Wyoming, there's been two deaths in the whole entire state. South Dakota, six. Montana, seven. North Dakota, nine. Alaska, nine.

Places like that might feel like, okay, this whole entire time, it hasn't been a huge pandemic here. If we can do phase one and things continue to go downward, then I think like in Wyoming, you could reopen. Yeah, but the problem is... The curve has been flattening all week long. Literally, they've been saying it's peaked in certain places. The worst is getting behind us.

I just want to know, who are we going to listen to? I don't know. That's all I want to know. The so-called experts, I don't to know Who are we going to listen to? I don't know That's all I want to know The so-called experts I don't think necessarily Had it right from the start They were telling us So many different things all along

But get it off your chest But I just want to say I do think like In a place like New York Yes, we do And they did extend That stay-at-home order Until May 15th so far

So I do think certain places Where it is really bad Yes, you delay all of that But I do feel like In Wyoming, yes, you have to start talking about can Wyoming reopen. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling, I'm calling, calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This is Alicia Lee. I'm from Hempstead, New York. Hey, good morning. How's it

going out in Long Island, man? How you feeling? I'm feeling sketchy. It's very sketchy. Hempstead has a lot of cases. I'm a mortuary technician. Before this whole situation, I was actually working in a fertility clinic, but my old hospital up in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Methodist, they called me to come back to work.

I went for literally one day and it just didn't feel right. I've never seen anything like it. The people in trucks waiting to be really, I really encourage people to stay home. It's not a game. It's not, you know, I see people outside with no masks. You know, it's just terrible. And the mortuary was not protected. You know,

I was told with N95 masks run out, that's it. So it's like, I can't bring this home to my family. So I had to make a conscious choice, you know, to leave. And it felt bad. I felt bad leaving, knowing that help was definitely needed in this area, but I didn't feel safe.

I really didn't feel safe. Alright, well, thank you for checking in. We appreciate you. Her gut instinct told her this is not for her right now, so she went to do something else, and we can't argue with that. Alright, well, thank you. Hello, who's this?

Hi, this is Erica. Good morning, guys. Good morning. Get it over with. Hi, I'm calling from Tampa, Florida. So about a month ago, I was laid off from my job. I work in marketing. So I don't know. Earlier today, Charlamagne said like at the end of a work week. for some reason it just hit me different because now even though i file for unemployment you know every like two weeks you have to go into the system and claim for your funds your unemployment funds and now the system is down so as of now like i don't know where money's gonna come i don't even know like if'm going to get my money. Every time I go in to try to clean, the system always clock out. It always kicks me out. And I'm scared.

Like yesterday, I got my first bill, and I helped support my parents. My parents are elderly. They're over 60. And also, one of my parents just had surgery to remove a tumor. So I'm just, like, scared. I'm honestly just scared. What do you mean the site is shut down? Like, you know, okay, so when you, for Florida, you go in on the site,

you have your information, and you have to file a claim. When you go in to file a claim, when you go into the login system, it completes, it shuts you out. So I can't go in to file a claim, when you go into the login system, it completes you, shuts you out. So I can't go in to claim my money at all. Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. They give you a time period, so you

will have like two weeks to file a claim. And after that two weeks, if you haven't filed a claim, you don't get your money whatsoever. And I believe like for Florida, the basic that they give you is, like, two something. And they only give you that for three months. So regardless of if you use up your money or not, if you don't collect that money within that three months, you lose it. And now, like, you know, when you call the state, they're either busy, they are not answering your calls.

And, like, people are literally out here stuck. Like, good thing I will say is, like, me and my colleagues, we have, like, this little support line where we will talk to each other and all of us are in the same boat. But we're literally, like, we don't know what to do. We don't know what's going on. And I just want the country to open back up. I just want to work. That's all I want to do. All right.

Right. I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for checking in. We appreciate you. I forgot how to even do unemployment. I was on unemployment for a whole year. And I cannot remember how to do it. I do remember you had to go online and declare every week or something like that though. I see a whole article about how people in Florida

are having so many issues trying to get their unemployment through this system and trying to call in and when they finally get through after waiting for hours getting hung up on and so it looks like it's been an ongoing issue in Florida. I don't know what they're going to do about that. That's horrible. That's actually also a horrible way to start off an article by saying people in Florida have issues because I would just agree with them right there and keep it moving. So that's horrible. My goodness. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way. Yes, and let's talk about this all-in challenge that we were discussing previously where celebrities are putting up items and experiences up for auction and you can bid on those things. We'll tell you what celebrity just stepped up and actually is auctioning off an incredible prize

that people cannot believe. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk the all-in challenge. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Yes, this challenge is started by Michael Rubin from the 76ers, one of the co-owners. And the idea is to raise money to help combat the coronavirus pandemic.

So we got a lot of celebrities to donate crazy prizes that people can bid on. Now, Drake has really stepped up to the plate. He said, I'm going to offer up everything I can for this challenge. Whoever wins, you'll get the chance to fly on air, Drake. I'll have the OVO and Nike care packages waiting for you on the plane. Fly you to LA. You'll get to party with us at one of our private parties at Delilah. We'll have a great time, put you up

in a great hotel with whoever you choose to bring for the weekend. And it doesn't end there because we'll link back up in the city that you're from and I'll give you the best tickets possible to the show whenever we can tour again. That sounds like a great prize. All these Drake fans will love that. That'd be dope.

You're a Drake superfan, you'll love something like that. Listen, I think that's great that he would donate all of that and then let the person hang out with him and fly them to a party and be having that OVO experience on the plane and all of that. That's a great prize that somebody will never forget.

That'll raise a lot of money. Alright, now Dr. Oz has apologized and that is on the plane and all of that, that's a great prize that somebody will never forget. So that'll raise a lot of money. All right. Now, Dr. Oz has apologized, and that is because of comments that he made about reopening the country. He was on with Sean Hannity, and Dr. Oz said this. First, we need our mojo back. Let's start with things that are really critical to the nation where we think we might be able to open without getting into a lot of trouble.

I tell you, schools are a very appetizing opportunity uh i just saw a nice piece in the lancer arguing that the opening of schools may only cost us two to three percent in terms of total mortality and you know that's any life is a life lost but to get every child back into a school where they're safely being educated being fed uh and making the most out of their lives with a theoretical risk on the backside. It might be a tradeoff some folks would consider. You know, as harsh as that may sound, that's the reality of the situation. You know, people want the most minimal amount of deaths possible, but there will be deaths. And if you read the article that Dr. Oz was quoting from,

it wasn't arguing that closing schools presents a specific fraction of children from dying, but a fraction of overall deaths from the coronavirus. So he was saying opening up schools isn't going to change that much. But the mistake Dr. Oz made to me was he failed to mention that we don't even know what opening up schools would actually do. Because that I think it's called the Lancet paper. It was a review of other studies. And even they acknowledge that the quality of evidence they're drawing on is poor. So you don't even know if you don't know, you don't know what will happen if you open up

school. Well, he got a slew of criticism and here's how he responded on his social media page. I've realized my comments on risks around opening schools have confused and upset people, which was never my intention. I misspoke. As a heart surgeon, I spent my career fighting to save lives in the operating room by minimizing risks. At the same time, I'm being asked constantly how we'll be able to get people back to their normal lives. To do that, one of the important steps will be figuring out how do we get our children safely back to school. We know for many kids, school is a place of security, nutrition, and learning that is missing right now. These are issues we are all wrestling with, and I will continue looking for solutions to beat this virus. All right. Now, Dr. Gupta also responded on CNN last night, and I was watching this. And here's what Dr. Gupta had to say about

Dr. Oz's comments. I think this is what he meant. I haven't talked to him, but, you know, the model suggests that maybe some 60,000 people will lose their lives, sadly, to this disease. How much are we gaining by the various measures that we're putting in place? The closing of schools, they say, may be contributing only to 2 to 3 percent of that. So that, as you point out, Jake, would be about 1,200 to 1,800 people potentially. Again, not children, but people within the country. Every life is a life, you know, and what is the tradeoff in terms of starting to reopen things? That's a big one. Well, I've heard Dr. Gupta say some wild stuff too. Dr. Gupta said that, you know, if 200,000 people die by August, that's a reason to be

optimistic. And I'm like, how is 200,000 people dying a case for optimism? But I get it. Like I said, they want the most minimal amount of deaths possible. If you compare 2 million to 200,000, one is way too many. But that's the way they look at it. They look at us as numbers. That's just that's what they do in their line of work. Dr. Gupta was trying to explain what he felt like Dr. Oz was trying to say. And so maybe people interpreted it or the way that he phrased it just didn't come across well. But he definitely seemed like he didn't think it was something that we should be canceling Dr. Oz for.

All right, R. Kelly, his New York racketeering sex trafficking trial date has now been moved to September 29th. And, you know, part of that is because of the coronavirus pandemic. Cases are on hold right now. It was previously scheduled for July, but they did sign off on that new date,

September 29th. All right, Shaq said he's not going to watch the 2020 Hall of Fame ceremony because Kobe memories will make him too sad. He said, well, it'll be a huge moment. He admits that he can't watch it because he can't handle going through another bout of sadness like he did when Kobe passed away

in January because he still misses him, still thinks about him every day. He said on a scale of sadness with Tim being the worst, he's finally at a two. But watching that Hall of Fame ceremony would bring him back to a seven, eight, nine. I'm sure right now. Absolutely. Yeah, I can see that.

I never met Kobe Bryant in my life, but I was watching the replay of Game 5 of the NBA finals on ESPN. And when they won and, you, and he was hugging his wife and hugging his daughters, and I was just like, God damn, and I didn't even know him, and I felt bad, so I can imagine how Shaq felt. And Shaq did say it would be great if his wife gave a speech or his mom or dad gave

a speech, but I'll see that afterwards. He said he just can't watch the ceremony. Alright, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. Alright, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about? Yes, we're going to talk about these different phases that could happen to reopen the country, and it'll be state by state.

All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. Where do we start with, ye? Well, let's start with opening up America plan. Donald Trump has unveiled that plan, new guidelines for reopening states. He's saying this could happen as soon as May 1st. He even said that some places he feels like are ready even today following these guidelines. Here's what he had to say. Our approach outlines three phases in restoring our economic life.

We are not opening all at once, but one careful step at a time. And some states will be able to open up sooner than others. Now that we have passed the peak in new cases, we're starting our life again. We're starting rejuvenation of our economy again in a safe and structured and very responsible fashion. Yeah, I mean, I think it might be too soon, depending on what their phases are. I think people are still affected. I think we need to get closer to this vaccine. You would never want some in some of these other states where it's not, you know, like the city, like atmosphere is more rural. You have more space. But all it takes is one person from one of those

cities to fly down there to visit a family member. And it just spreads like crazy, like wildfire again. Well, here's what they're saying. Phase one includes this is Dr. Deborah Burks. She's a task force member that reported on this phase one, social distancing, closure of schools still, teleworking and sheltering in place for vulnerable individuals, non-essential travel would be discouraged, bars still closed, visits to nursing homes, hospitals still prohibited.

She also said visits to senior living facilities should continue to be prohibited. Large venues can only be operated under strict physical distancing protocols. Gyms could open if they adhere under strict physical distancing protocols. Gyms could open if they adhere to strict physical distancing. Phase two, schools, restaurants, bars to reopen with diminished occupancy. Non-essential travel can resume. People can gather in groups no larger than 50, but still teleworking is encouraged. That is for the employers. They will still encourage that common areas would remain closed or be physically distant. And phase three, workplaces can reopen with no restrictions.

Visits to senior care centers, hospitals can resume. It's essentially returning to our quote new normal. So those are the three phases. And they're saying once you are in phase one, you can't get to phase two unless you do a whole 14 day period. And they still see the numbers going down. And, you know, so that's how they are planning this right now. And this will actually be decided by the governor of each state. So every state will have different guidelines. Here's what he said. If they need to remain closed, we will allow them to do that. And if they believe it is time to reopen, we will provide them the freedom and guidance to accomplish that task. We are also encouraging states to work together to harmonize their regional efforts.

I mean, even like phase one, they said the gym. Would I really want to go to the gym? Would I really want to go and work out with somebody in the gym? People have been working out on machines beforehand. You don't know how well those machines have been cleaning. I really want to go to the gym, but I really want to go and work out with somebody in the gym. People have been working out on machines beforehand. You don't know how well those machines have been cleaning. You got to clean off your own machine. Like that, I don't know, man. That's still a little scary for me.

You don't have to go. Yeah, and the first part of phase one is also social distancing. So, like she said, you don't have to go to the gym. Just keep it essential. And listen, by the way, I do always clean off my equipment before I use it. And I do it with the sanitizing wipes that they should have. Me too. But the reason I'm saying the gym is because if somebody goes to the gym and they work out and they have it and then I get it.

And even if I'm social distancing, I don't know who's been on the machine beforehand. And you don't know what happens. I could be in the locker room or whatever it may be. I get it. I bring it back to my, you know, the people I work with. Or I bring it back to my family. And then, you know, you're just not sure, man. That would be scary. I think the scary thing about this whole situation

is that they put us all in a suspended state of fear, and rightfully so. But how do you get us out of that fear? How do you make us feel like we're comfortable and we feel like, okay, I am going to, you know, take some chances and participate in phase one or phase two or phase three or whatever it is. Like that's going to be the hardest thing now, getting people out of that fear after this.

All right. Now, people are also concerned about their stimulus money. And here's five reasons you may not have gotten your stimulus money if you didn't get it yet. If you didn't get a federal tax refund in 2018 or 2019, then that means that that doesn't mean the IRS can direct deposit the money into your bank account. You have to have gotten a refund in those years in order to have gotten your refund by now. I mean, to get your check by now, if your refund went to an old bank account,

if you didn't receive a refund in 2019, the IRS uses the account information you use for 2018. But if it was an old account that you have since closed, then perhaps you need to check and see if that money went there. If your refund went to a temporary account set up by a tax preparer, and we've seen this happening a lot online where they're like, hey, you know that my tax preparing company actually got my check. So sometimes they set up that account and that's where your tax refund gets deposited

first and then they take out their fee and transfer the remaining money to you. So that might've gone there. And H&R Block in particular, TurboTax, those companies are still waiting for answers from the IRS, they said, on what to do. Now, if you filed a paper return in 2019, then you might still be waiting because the IRS has a lot of employees working remotely and they've stopped processing paper returns

until the centers are able to reopen. So don't fear. It's just taking a while for you to get yours. I would love to interview a weed man or weed woman next week because these stimulus checks done hit people's bank accounts, and I would love to know how a weed man or weed woman is going to come up after 420. Oh, they're going to come up. Are they?

420 is what, Monday? Yeah. Monday or Sunday? Monday? They just got to get to work, though. They just they're going to come up. Are they? 420 is what, Monday? Yeah. Monday or Sunday? Monday? They just got to get to work, though. They just got to get to work. You got to be willing to make deliveries, guys. Mm-hmm.

That's the thing. You got to deliver. You got to get to work. You got to drop off. That sounds dangerous, Envy. It does. I'm not saying I do it. I'm just saying it's dangerous.

Why is that dangerous? People still delivering food? No, no. He won't get food deliveries either I'm just talking about for Envy Because I know he's Me personally I'm good

I got a stash here I'm great over here I'm okay But if I didn't I wouldn't worry about that I'm going to be mad at you Envy If you won't get a food delivery But you don't mind

Getting a weed delivery No, I'm not getting no deliveries I'm good Like I said Shout out to Mary Jane in Detroit Shout out to Mary Jane in Detroit. Shout out to Mary Jane in Detroit, man. They make sure I am okay.

So you have cannabis is what you're saying? Yeah, I might have a thing or two. How much? Not telling you? Why are you snitching on me? Why? Why are you snitching on me? Trying to get a little reward money, man. Trying to get a little reward money. Alleg. Trying to get a little reward money. Allegedly, did I say allegedly?

My goodness. All right, well, that is your front page news. When we come back, Dr. Phil will be joining us. We'll kick it with Dr. Phil, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the phone line right now. Dr. Phil. Yes, indeed. Good morning. How's everybody? How are you holding up, man?

What's up, Doc? How's the quarantine? How are you quarantining? Well, I'm quarantining, and I'm actually playing by the rules pretty well. I'm staying inside. Well, I'm going outside a lot, but I'm staying home. I haven't been anywhere at all. Let me ask you a question, Doc.

What have you learned new about yourself? Well, I'm pretty boring, to tell you the truth. That's what I've learned. But we're such homebodies. It was like three weeks before we realized that things had changed. We don't ever go anywhere. That's how boring we are. We stay home a lot.

Well, who are you quarantining with? Who are you with? Robin. Just the two of you. Okay, my fool. Just the two of you as wives. I didn't know if you had some kids or other family members. Yeah, some people are quarantining with their whole extended families.

I know some people that drove home to be with family. I got two boys that are growing, and we couldn't get them to come here and quarantine with us. We held a gun on them. You haven't seen your grandkids in nothing, Doc? No. On Easter, they came over and pulled in. They got out of the car, and they stayed about 25 or 30 feet away. They put signs on the side of the car saying,

Happy Easter, and we love you, and all that. But they stayed 25 or 30 feet away outside and they danced around and played and all that. But we maintained complete separation. Dr. Phil, I saw you posted a very intriguing question that had to do with coronavirus with a woman who was having an affair. And the person that she was having an affair with contracted COVID-19 and then she had to be concerned about whether or not she passed it on to her own family

at home, her husband and kids. What advice do you give somebody like that? Because this is not the time to be cheating. Yeah, that's a little hard to explain come home. You drag that home, that's worse than an STD, right? No. Depends an STD, right? No.

Depends what STD is. Depends what the STD is. This can kill you, you know. So I don't care if you tell them where you got it, but you damn sure need to tell them you got it. You got exposed. So you need to stay 14 days by yourself and explain that you've been exposed. Now, how you tell them where you got exposed is up to you, but you need to be straight up with them that you've been exposed for sure.

Now, what advice do you give somebody that's maybe in a relationship and they don't like their spouse right now, but they're stuck with them for 14 days? What advice do you give them? Well, you know, that's a really tough situation that's happening a lot more than people want to admit or wish was the case. And in fact, we've got a lot of people that are in abusive relationships. Right. And the number one tool of the abuser is isolation. So this is their dream world. They're ordered to be isolated. And I've had situations where they're taking their insurance card and burning it. They're turning their phone off. So now they're totally isolated and stuck with it. But, you know,

this is a time where we've just got to all say, you know what, I got to put my personal agenda aside. I got to zip it and just get through this because, listen, staying isolated like this, being in quarantine like this is really an altruistic thing. You're doing this for yourself and other people. So even if you feel like, okay, I wish it wasn't with the person I'm with, recognize you're doing this for everybody, not just for you. So don't be so selfish that you blow up because you don't like the person you're with. You've got to recognize you're doing this for your neighbor, you're doing it for the elderly people. You're doing it for those people that

have underlying conditions. You mentioned domestic violence, Doc. What's the other big problems you see couples facing during this quarantine time? Well, you know, one of the big things is you got to look at everything in total because let's look at what's happening right now. First off, a lot of people are losing their jobs. The economy is collapsing around them. So they have all of that pressure of not knowing whether they're going to be able to have a job when they get out of this. And then, so they've got all that economic pressure. Then they're jammed in together 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And then they're wondering if they're going to catch this virus. And if they catch the virus, how bad is it going

to be for them? Not just if they're going to die or not, but they're worried about how sick they're going to get, have anxiety about that. And then they have the worry about our family members, particularly their parents. If they've got parents that are 60, 70 years older or older, are they going to die? So there's so much pressure and so much stress that it's creating a lot of physical problems in addition to the mental and emotional problems. There's anxiety, depression, stress. There's a lot of loneliness for people that are staying by themselves. So all of these pressures, this is just the perfect storm of bad elements of stress and pressure that's causing people to have mental, emotional problems,

and then it translates into physical problems because, for example, people that are lonely, this translates into increased likelihood of dementia if you're in that age bracket. If you have cancer, mortality goes up 25%. Wow. If you're lonely and have cancer. And for people that have underlying disorders, which can happen at all ages, then you've really got susceptibility to this disorder. And as you guys know, that happens disproportionately with the black community. I want to ask you a question from a production standpoint when it comes to TV. How much is too

much coronavirus content for you? Because you're on daily. You know, I think everybody is watching this too much. I'm telling everybody, if you want to maintain. You know, I think everybody is watching this too much. I'm telling everybody, if you want to maintain some mental health, you've got to watch this. Maybe find a source you trust and watch this for 30 minutes in the morning. Get caught up on what's happening. And then maybe check in 30 minutes in the evening. And then you need to turn the damn television off.

Turn the radio off. Get on to other things, because people are getting obsessed with this. And let me tell you, the news never goes on the air and says, hey, today at 3rd and Elm, nothing happened. That's all of the bad stuff, you know, all the death, all the destruction, all the sensationalistic headlines. They don't talk about how many people survived, how many people resolved this, what progress is being made. They just talk about all the death and how many people contracted it. So you get a biased view that's very negative.

Now, Dr. Phil, the catch-me-outside girl, right? I just call her the catch-me-outside girl, bad baby. When's the last time you spoke with her, if you spoke with her, or her peoples or her family or her mom or anything at all? The last time she was on my stage. He's like, they always ask me this. I am over it. And you like to keep it like that, huh?

That's right. That's not my finest hour. That's not something I'm particularly proud of. Yeah, that's your fault, Dr. Phil. The virus known as Catch Me Outside Girl started with you. We should call it the Phil virus. That's right, and I confess.

I'm guilty. All right, we got more with Dr. Phil when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still

kicking it with Dr. Phil Yee. A lot of people are trying to stay healthy right now too as far as making sure they do some movement because people aren't wanting to go outside but you got to exercise in the house. If you don't have exercise equipment or a lot of space, what's some advice that you give to people when it comes to

working out at home? There's two ways that you've got to look at this. And I am so concerned that nobody, I can't get people to listen as much as I wish about the mental and emotional issues that are associated with this disease, because I really believe in the long term that there is going to be as much disruption and destruction to quality of life and perhaps as much loss of life across time. Not not right now today, but across time from this virus, from the mental emotional aspects as there is from the virus itself. And there are two things that you have to do. And one is to reduce your stress. And part of that is in exercise.

And then the other is just exercise itself, which does help with the stress, but it also keeps your immune system healthy. I tell people if, excuse me, if you can take 10 minutes a day, two times, and during that 10 minutes, you can just try to get rid of the tension in your body. But you can do that by just tensing up every muscle in your body for 10 seconds, and then relax. then 10 seconds tense and then relax, and do that 10 times in a row. And then breathing, breathe in for three seconds and out for six. In for three, out for six. And do that 10 times in a row so the oxygen carbon dioxide exchange rate is two to one. If you can do those two things, tense and relax, and do that breathing, each of them 10 times in a row, twice a day,

the effects of that last for eight hours. 10 minutes last for eight hours in getting your stress levels down. Because look, we have this fight or flight reaction, which is where we get when we're under threat. And that's supposed to last for seconds. That's what you do when you hear something behind you in a dark alley at night. You get all up ready to go into fight or flight.

It's not supposed to last for days, weeks or months, which is what it's doing now. And that causes organ breakdown. It causes all kinds of issues. But if you can do what I'm saying here, that really brings that back down to baseline. And then if you can exercise, whether it's just really going up and down the steps, if you've got two, three steps to your apartment building, run up and down those. If you can just walk to the corner and back. I mean, anything that you can do to get your pulse rate up, get your heart rate up,

it helps if you can just do it for even 10 or 15 minutes a couple times a day. And also sleep. Sleep, they say, is very important. You've got to get enough sleep because that repairs your body. There is nothing more important than sleep. If there was one thing that you were going to let me control to drive somebody insane, it would be sleep. If you get sleep deprivation, your body starts breaking down, your mental emotional health starts breaking down, your ability to handle stress, your immune system breaks down,

everything goes to hell if your sleep goes out the window. I wanted to ask you about mental health again, Doc, because what you said about the news was very dope to me because I feel like we watch the news because we're looking for answers, but they really haven't figured it out yet. So being that they haven't figured it out yet, it causes more confusion, which causes more anxiety. Well, it does. It causes a lot of anxiety because you hear one thing one minute,

it's like, do you wear a mask? No, you don't wear a mask. And then do we have testing? Do we do not have testing? If you get this, is it going to be fatal? Is it going to be serious? Not serious. You get all these mixed messages, and then you start out initially uh you know some people could get it some people couldn't get it you have all of these rumors flying around out there and then you have all of these these idiots that come out with these fake protocols that supposedly are going to fix you do this do that you'll be okay that people put on the internet they're just they're just idiots and it causes people to have false hope,

and then they lose that when they find out it was all a lie. And it's just creating anxiety, and anxiety makes us more vulnerable to contracting the virus. I wanted to ask you something about porn right now because a lot of people are watching porn at home. They're talking about the numbers going up. So what do you tell people is too much porn? Is there any danger in people now if they're not doing much

and they're at home and watching porn all day? Is that something that is dangerous? That depends on the couple. If the couple has talked about it and they've decided that that's an okay thing that they share together or maybe she's happy that that's taken pressure off of her. I mean, that's what they've negotiated. That's one thing. But if one of them looks at the other as being that's cheating, that that's betrayal, that that's an insult, then that can really create problems.

And trust me, there are couples out there more than you would think that believe that that is tantamount to cheating. And so they feel betrayed when their partner defaults to that instead of to them. Now, some people don't look at it that way. They look at it as like, hey, great, turn it on, we'll party. And then there are those that look at it as absolute betrayal. So it depends on what the couple has negotiated, what they have agreed to between themselves. But it's certainly the statistics show that Netflix and porn are definitely getting an awful lot of. Now, we had this conversation a week ago. Are dildos essential, Dr. Phil?

We had this conversation on air a couple of days ago. Are dildos essential, Dr. Phil? We had this conversation on air a couple of days ago. Are dildos essential right now? Lord have mercy. To who? To him. He's asking for himself, Doc. There was a rumor that he got

caught with this guy talking about nine and a half inch dildos. He's asking for himself, sir. Dr. Phil, don't believe everything you're saying. You should have let me ask that question, but go ahead. You're right. Yeah, so nine and a half. So you were going for the small one.

That's okay. Okay. Thanks, Doc. Thanks. Thanks. All right. All right, we got more with Dr. Phil when we come back. Don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I got me a Dr. Phil when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I got me a milli. I did it legitly. I'm still with the shits. I'm a hot dog. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Dr. Phil is still on the lines right now. Charlamagne? What will normal look like after this? Well, I think that there's going to be, to use the cliche, a new normal, because I think when they ring the bell and open the gates, and I don't know when that's going to be,

but it depends on who you're talking about. Like, for example, when you're talking about essential workers, there's not going to be a big difference because for essential workers, only 37 percent of the population is able to work at home and those, 66 percent of white workers in the top quartile of the earning group are able to work at home. So it's going to be different because the essential workers that are in the bottom quarter of the earning range, it's not going to be a lot different for

them because they haven't been able to stay home. They've been going to work every single day. What the hell's the difference for them? They might wear a mask, but they've been going to work. And those people need to be applauded. First off, they need to be protected. For others, it's going to be, I think, very scary. And I think it's going to be very slow. I don't think when the bell rings, it's going to be, I think, very scary, and I think it's going to be very slow. I don't think when the bell rings, people are going to go racing out their door. I think people are going to be very nervous about this for a period of time, and it's going to be a slow, stepwise sort of thing with a lot of anxiety and paranoia. Right.

So, Dr. Phil, how are you taping your show now? Because I know you can't be around people. You should be quarantining. So how are you taping your show now? Because I know you can't be around people is you should be quarantined. And so how are you taping your show? I'm shooting from home. That's where I am right now. And I've got a I've got a one person crew and that's Robin. She does hair. She's become quite a tech. You know, she just wears a baseball cap and a tool belt, and she's climbing all over the place. I'm trying to get her to wear only that, but she hasn't gone for that yet. Yay!

Keep it spicy! Now, we need your voice right now because you're a doctor, and I wanted to ask you, how do you feel when you see government officials dismissing the information that's coming from the medical experts. When you see Donald Trump, you know, retweet stuff about Dr. Fauci and how he needs to be fired, how does that make you as a medical professional feel? It just drives me crazy. Look, the politicians need to shut up and let the scientists speak.

The politicians don't have any more idea than a goose what's going on. The scientists are the ones that are dealing with this. They're the ones that have a 30- or 40-year history. The coronavirus is not new. This is a novel coronavirus, but the coronavirus family has been around since the 50s. There are people that have worked with this forever. There are people now that know what has to happen to do this convalescent serum, to use the antibodies,

to do what's necessary for the human testing for a vaccine. They know how long it takes. And then politicians get up and politicize this. I just want to scream when they do it. They need to shut up and let people talk that know what they're doing. Do you think we're getting closer to this being behind us like they're saying? They're saying that the worst is behind us? I think the worst is behind us because we've done what we've done.

And I think the models, when the models came out and said originally, and there's still some people out there like Zeke Emanuel, who they call him Dr. Death, who says we need to be locked down for 18 months and said there were going to be a million deaths, two million deaths. I never believed that. And I went on record and I said I thought it was going to be more like 60 to 80,000. And I think that that's more likely going to be the case because we've done what we've done, because we have gone into a shelter at home. And that lets this run its course for a while. And I think we can start to open the country back up with modifications. There comes a point where you do have to recognize that there's a tipping point where you're going to lose more people to economic issues, mental, emotional issues,

and poverty than you are from the virus itself. We lose 480,000 people a year due to car accidents, but we still use cars. I mean, they're a convenience, but we still use them. We lose 80,000 people a year to alcohol just by alcohol toxicity, but there's still alcohol being sold. We don't shut the country down for that. How long can we shut the country down for this and collapse the economy? 250,000 people a year die in America from poverty. That's from starving, exposure to the elements, lack of proper medical care. That's 700 people a day die from poverty. And that's going to skyrocket if we don't get the economy turned back on. You just have to do it in a responsible way at a responsible time.

Right. This is my last question, because, you know, I know that you sit down and you talk to Queen Oprah a lot and y'all have deep conversations about life. So I want to ask you, what are your instincts telling you about this current situation? What do you think God and the universe are trying to tell us about all of this? Well, look, I think we really get wake-up calls from time to time. And, you know, to me, I look at this as putting a real spotlight on the inequities in our workplace. And I see that those that are in the low socioeconomic strata, and that includes a lot of black and brown, as you know, look how disproportionate this is with that community. In Milwaukee, 26% of the population is black and brown, but 81% of the deaths.

And people say you can't, you're not going to catch it anymore, likely, if you're in that low economic strata. But that's just absolutely not true. Your likelihood of catching it are two and a half times greater. And then your likelihood of winding up on are two and a half times greater. And then your likelihood of winding up on a ventilator are four times greater. So this is just, again, showing that there is this systemic implicit bias against those that are either black, brown, or poor in our country that just don't have the same opportunities for healthcare and protection in society

that the rest of us do. And that is screaming from the statistics and nobody's talking about it. What the hell is going on? What the hell is going on? It's insane to me. It's insane about it. What the hell is going on? That's right. What the hell is going on? That's right. It's insane to me. It's insane to me.

Right. So basically what you're saying is it's exposing what we all know, which is systemic racism. To me, racism is the greatest disease America has never found a cure for. Well, it is damn sure an underlying condition. People keep saying if you have an underlying condition, then this disease is much more deadly. And systemic racism is an underlying condition.

You heard it from Dr. Phil. America ain't going to never be shit until they do right by black people. All right. Well, Dr. Phil, thank you for joining us this morning, man. We appreciate it. Yes. Thank you so much, Dr. Phil. Give our love to your wife as well.

I certainly do it. And thank you guys for continuing to turn a spotlight on all of this. I appreciate it. Thank you, Doc. Thank you for having me on. It's my honor. All right. Thank you so much.

Dr. Phil is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip.

Gossip. With Angela. Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. In America, everyone counts. And the 2020 census is happening. All right, so I know we're all excited to watch The Last Dance.

It premieres this Sunday on ESPN. Can't wait. Yes, two episodes of this documentary series. Well, Michael Jordan was on Good Morning America yesterday, and he talked about a lot of different things, including how he went from Mike to Michael after a game-winning shot in college in 1982. Up until that point, no one knew who I was.

You know, I was a college kid other than, you know, the university. But outside the university, I was just known as Mike Jordan, you know. And when I hit that shot, my whole name became Michael Jordan. And I think it resonated with a lot of people outside of UNC. So, I mean, and I just started palling on that, that name itself from, you know, from the successes that I endured, you know, throughout the rest of my career. It wasn't about Mike. It was more about Michael. All right. I don't remember it in real time, but I remember the replays. I was four when it happened. All right. Then he also talks about, they actually played a clip from the docuseries.

And in this clip, this is Michael Jordan. They were talking about how Michael Jordan was going back and forth with his doctor about an injury that he had and whether or not he should play. Michael asked him, well, if I play, what percentage is it that I'm going to get hurt again? Doctor said, yeah, 10%. And I just lost it. I said, look, it's 10% chance, but it's 90% chance that I won't. And then I chimed in to the doctors, what happens if the 10% kicks in? And they said, well, then his career would be over. So I said to Michael, you're not understanding the risk reward ratio. If you had a terrible headache and I gave you a bottle of pills And nine of the pills would cure you and one of the pills would kill you

Would you take a pill? I look at him. I said depends on how bad the headache is He was willing to take the risk. I mean you can't be mad at him. It's his body I mean the only thing you can do is give him the advice and you know, uh Counsel him and tell him like look this is the risk if he's to accept those risks, hey, and clearly it paid off, right? He was that much of a champion. He didn't care. He wanted to win by any means necessary.

All right. In addition to that, he also talked about his last season with the Bulls. We all were trying to enjoy that year, knowing that it was coming to an end. The beginning of the season, it basically started when Jerry Krause told Phil that, you know, he can go 82-0 and he would never get the chance to come back. And, you know, knowing that I was, I married myself to him. And if he wasn't going to be a coach, then, you know, obviously I wasn't going to play. So Phil started off the year by saying this is the last dance. And we played it that way.

You know, so mentally it just kind of tugged at you throughout the course of the year. It also centered our focus to making sure we end it that way. You know, so mentally it just kind of tugged at you throughout the course of the year. It also centered our focus to making sure we end it right. I don't understand why executives do that. If you got a coach who has, you know, coached your team to five championships, why would you tell that coach, I don't care what happens, you're not going to be back next year?

Like, I don't get that. Like, why wouldn't you want to make things right with Phil Jackson? Like, what more would Phil Jackson have to do? I don't be back next year. Like, I don't get that. Like, why wouldn't you want to make things right with Phil Jackson? What more would Phil Jackson have to do? I don't get it. Well, the last dance as we all get ready for this is going to feature commentary from Isaiah Thomas, Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen, and even Barack Obama and other notable public figures and NBA legends.

So it should be interesting. Is Kobe Bryant on that doc? I know we'll all be watching. I'm not sure. I haven't seen him in none of the trailers or anything. I would assume he is, though. All right, now Shaquille O'Neal was on ESPN, and one thing that he was discussing on ESPN is whether or not

the Michael Jordan that Chicago Bulls would beat the L.A. Lakers in their prime. Easily, yeah. Why? Because I would have killed Luke Longley, Bill Winning, Cartwright. Yeah. So the factor is me and my free throw shooter. Okay, another question is, our Lakers in the prime and Chicago in the prime, who is Phil Jackson with?

Is he with us or is he with them? I think he's with them because he was with them first. So he would have tried the hack-a-shack. So I still would have averaged my 28-29, but the key would have been the free throws. That's a good conversation. I mean, but there was nobody to stop Shaq. Let's be honest. Who's stopping Shaq back then? First of all, the Bulls would win that series 4-1.

Bulls had a lot of big bodies, a lot of big 7-foot, 200-plus, 300-plus pound centers that they could just throw at Shaq, keep him on the free throw line. They would neutralize him by keeping him on the free throw line. Michael Jordan shuts down a young Kobe because Kobe wasn't even in his prime yet. And then, then, then what? No, they said both in their primes.

When Kobe and Shaq was in his prime and when Jordan and the Bulls were in their prime. So Kobe would be at his prime and Shaq would be dunking and throwing all of them all over the place. Well, Kobe never even played with Shaq in his prime. Shaq was gone. Shaq was gone in Miami when Kobe was in his prime, winning those championships with Paul Gasol and those boys like that.

Young Kobe was with Shaq. Shaq was still the man on that team. He was the dominant player on that squad. Kobe was more of a complimentary player, a superstar, but more of a complimentary player. That was Shaq's team. I think the Bulls win 4-1. Well, I'll see you all on social media Sunday night

as we all watch this together, all right? I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, Miss Yee. Now we got Donkey of the Day up next. Yes, Donkey of the Day is up next. And Florida, I hate to do this to you, man, but you know, you guys and gals proved to me all the time that Florida is indeed the craziest place in America.

The Bronx and all of Florida, but man, Florida really, really, really is top tier over the Bronx at this point in life. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.

Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Donkey of the Day with Charlemagne Tha God.

I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Donkey of the Day for Friday, April 17th goes to a young 26-year-old man who hails from the great state of Florida named Joseph Edward Williams. Seriously, repeat after me. What does your Uncle Charla always say about the Sunshine State?

The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and that's a fact. Nobody does crazy like Florida, not even the Bronx and all of Florida. And that's a fact. Nobody does crazy like Florida, not even the Bronx. I'm sorry. Let's all stop lying to each other. Let's all stop playing games with each other and let's deal with the reality of

the situation. Please stop arguing against reality. People in Florida are crazy. Okay. From the government officials, the regular everyday citizens, the crazy just is what it is. It's not a race thing. It's not what it is. It's not a race thing.

It's not a gender thing. It's not a sexuality thing. It's just a Jesus Christ folks in Florida is crazy thing. Now, first, I want to give a round of applause to all the states that are letting low-level nonviolent offenders out of jail during this coronavirus pandemic. Give them some applause, please, John. Yes, you are appreciated. Nobody should have to get sick in jail, potentially die in jail, just because they can't afford bond for driving under suspension or unpaid parking tickets.

Let those folks go home and protect themselves from this damn coronavirus until they have their day in court. I am sick of folks being treated like they are guilty before they are proven innocent, okay? Because all my life I thought it was the other way around. I thought it was innocent until proven guilty, but America shows me different every day. Now, Joseph Williams is one of those people who received that blessing

of being able to go home. He was in jail for a low-level nonviolent offense, and he was sent home at 8.02 a.m. on March 19th. But on this past Monday, April 13th, he was back behind bars. Why is this young man, Joseph Williams, back in jail after being released for a low-level nonviolent offense? Well, let's go to WFLA NBC8 for the report, please. An inmate let out of jail amid coronavirus concerns is now back behind bars charged with murder. Deputies say that homicide happened the day after his release. 26-year-old Joseph Williams is locked up again in

a Hillsborough County jail. Deputies say Williams is the suspect from a shooting homicide in the Progress Village area that took place the day after he left HCSO custody. Back on March 13th, deputies booked Williams into the jail on possession of heroin and drug paraphernalia charges six days before his release. And we've learned Williams is a convicted felon. His criminal history dates back to 2012. He's been arrested for a total of 35 charges. Why?

Joseph Edwards, released for committing a low-level nonviolent crime, gets out and commits a high-level, very violent crime. Murder? You can't make this kind of stuff up. Like, seriously, how do people in Florida's brains work? You sitting in jail for a low-level nonviolent crime, and the first thing you think to do when you get out, one of the first things you think to do is not go to finger licking, not go find you a quarantine bin, lay low.

You decided to go catch a body. Coronavirus quarantine spark a drop in crime. That's the headline in a lot of various places, OK, throughout the country. We've seen that a lot. But clearly that's happening everywhere except for Florida. You couldn't wait until the quarantine is over. You couldn't wait until the curve is flattened in order to flatline a person. I mean, you should never kill, but Jesus Christ, do you have any type of definition of what priorities mean? The next time somebody from Florida tries to tell you they are not crazy, don't even argue with them because they might end up killing you to prove they are not crazy. That's just how people in

Florida's brains work. They will kill you to prove they are not crazy and not even think that's crazy. Now, Hillsborough County Jail released 164 inmates that were low-level nonviolent offenders. But I am almost certain that Joseph Edwards is the bad orange that could spoil the whole bunch. There's going to be a lot of people around the country, a lot of people in Florida who suffer because of Joseph Edwards. Because when they think about letting folks out for low-level, nonviolent crimes, they are going to think of this situation and question if that is indeed the best strategy. I have absolutely nothing left to say here because there is absolutely nothing left to say. Some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please give Joseph Edwards Williams the biggest hee-haw. All right, Florida. Well,

thank you for that donkey of the day. Yes, indeed. Up next, 800-585-1051. We've been talking all morning. They are talking about possibly open the country back up. They broke it down into phases. Phase one, phase two, phase three. Yeah, you got those for us? Yes. And I just want to clarify, too, even with the phases, this would be something that would be state by state. So the governors would actually decide.

So phase one would be social distancing, closure of schools, still teleworking, sheltering in place for vulnerable individuals. Non-essential travel is discouraged. Bars will remain closed. Visits to nursing homes, hospitals remain prohibited. Phase two, schools, restaurants and bars will reopen with diminished occupancy. Non-essential travel can resume and people will gather in groups no larger than 50. But teleworking is still encouraged. Phase three, workplaces reopen with no restrictions, visits to senior care centers,

hospitals can resume, and it's the new normal. So we'll be returning to the new normal, continuing good hygiene, continuing respect for space between individuals and all of that. All right. So we're asking 800-585-1051. Do you think it's time to open this country back up? Are you ready for this country to open back up with everything that you've been hearing? Or do you think it's a little too early and too soon? Let's talk about it. All right. 800-585-1051 is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Now, if you just join us, we were talking about some of the statements the president said and them talking about reopening the country. All right. And we're asking 800-585-1051. Do you think the country should be open back up so soon? Now, tell them the phases that they're trying to do now. And listen, I just want to say, I don't think the whole country should open up all at once.

I think it does have to be certain states. And what they are saying is the phases will be phase one, continued social distancing. Schools will still be closed. You get to work from home, shelter in place. And phase two, schools, restaurants, and bars will reopen, but it'll be diminished occupancy. Non-essential travel can resume. People can gather in groups no larger than 50,

but they still encourage you to work from home. Phase three, that's when they'll allow workplaces to reopen with no restrictions. You can also start to visit senior care centers and hospitals again and to return to the new normal, which means, no, still continue these good hygiene practices to visit senior care centers and hospitals again, and to return to the new normal, which means still continue these good hygiene practices and respect space of individuals. All right, so we're asking 800-585-1051,

what is your thought with opening the country back up? Start with you, Charlemagne, what you think? The reality is I wasn't ready for it to close. I mean, the only reason we took our kids out of school, the reason we stopped going in the studio, the reason we stopped, you know, going in the studio, the reason we just started staying home period was because the experts told us to, you know, and it's also

the experts that'll tell us when to get back outside. And I think that, you know, it's that three-part phase, the reopening of the country, it seems fine to me. It's not like things are going to go back to normal as they were before. It will be a new normal. It's still going to be social distancing. Folks still have to wear masks. It's going to be a lot of hand washing, a lot of pure railing. And I'm going to tell you something, just like we played that clip earlier of Michael Jordan

willing to risk playing hurt, even though it may cause him, you know, even more permanent damage. That's just how some people feel about going back to work because let's not act like poverty isn't the forever greatest global pandemic. Okay. So some people got to eat to make ends meet. They got to go back to work, you know, so I don't know. I'm not I wasn't like I said, I wasn't ready for the close. So if they tell me that is, you know, OK to go back, I'm going to ease into it. I mean, we talk about the experts, but really, what do the experts know? Because everything has been changing every other day.

You know, at first they said, just wash your hands. Then it was you have to wear a mask when you go out. We talk about the experts, but really, what do the experts know? Because everything has been changing every other day. You know, at first they said just wash your hands. Then it was you have to wear a mask when you go out. Then it was you can only catch it one time. Now they don't know if you could possibly catch it again. They honestly don't know. And my fear is somebody will have it, not know, have symptoms, not have any symptoms, and give it to somebody else and watch it spread. We've seen churches, damn near whole congregations die. We've seen damn near whole families die. And until we honestly know or get

closer to a vaccine, I think opening up the country is very, very dangerous. And I don't think we should do that. And I don't get it twisted. I want the country to open back up. I miss being outside. I miss working. I miss doing a lot of the things that I need to do from going to see my kids graduate to prom to all that stuff. I don't get to see none of my kids do that. But is it worth one of my kids possibly getting sick and dying or my parents getting sick and dying? I don't think so. Oh, listen, I can tell you what the experts know. They know more than me. You know what I mean? But it seems like they make a lot of that stuff up though, because they seem like-

No, no, no, no, no, no. Let's not say that, Envy. They don't make stuff up because, I mean, they do research. They actually study. They're paying attention to this way more than we do. That's their job. I just think that, like, that mentality is what caused people not to social distance in the first place because they're like, well, what do the experts know? So I just know that the experts know more than me.

So the only thing we have to go off is their word. And, like, that's one of my concerns is that that fear that they've instilled in us to make us stay home and to make us social distance. How are we going to get out of that space in order to say, you know what, it's cool to go back into the world? Well, I do agree that it should be depending on what state you're in, because some states are really suffering tremendously and some places aren't. Like I said earlier, Wyoming, only two deaths, South Dakota. And of course, we don't want any deaths at all. But South Dakota, Montana, North Dakota, Alaska, Hawaii, all under 10 fatalities.

And I do feel like what they should do, they'll be restricting travel from those places that have a lot of incidents of coronavirus. So it's not like someone can fly from New York to Wyoming. That won't probably happen because that won't be essential travel. But I do feel like for some people in those places, they want to get back to work.

They want to start making money. They want to be able to support their family. And if they're able to do that safely and still with precautions and in different phases to make sure that things don't get worse, then I feel like it could be, you know, pretty soon time to start thinking about that. No, I don't think so. I mean, I just think not with the way this thing spreads

and not having a vaccine where if people do get sick and there is a second wave that we could protect these people, especially the older people. But let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hey, man, this is Jovan. Jovan, good morning, bro. Hey, good morning, man.

We're talking about opening up the country. What are your thoughts on it? Yes, sir. I just feel like social distancing should be practiced uh precautiously and you know all americans around the country should really practice social distancing in order for us to go back to our normal lives you know besides what the president is saying and blowing it apart saying this and that about it being a hoax. And, you know, the people deserve to know the truth about this virus. And if we do not continue to take the proper precautions, we might stay in this thing longer than we expect, you know.

Yeah, I mean, social distancing clearly has worked throughout the country because, I mean, that's what got the curve flattening. So, of course, you want to do more of that. That's why I'm glad Governor Cuomo extended it to May 15th. Governor Cuomo was like, let's be sure. Let's give it a couple more weeks. And that's the whole thing. We want to be sure.

We just don't want to continue to spread because once people go back to work, we can say social distancing all we want, but the way that jobs are set up, the way that a lot of these cities set up, it's almost impossible. 800-585-1051. We're taking your calls. Should the country be open back up? Should we open this country back up? Let's talk about it.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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 God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Nafi just joined us. We're talking about should the country be opened back up? Let's go to the phone lines. A lot of people on the lines. Hello, who's this? Jalen. Hey, Jalen, man. We're talking about should the country be opened back up?

DJ Envy Charlamagne to God, Angelique? Yes. Angelique? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Jalen from Georgia. I'm sorry. It just finally got on. It's been a long time calling. My thought on it is it's just about the money for the most

part. These government officials really don't care about us. It's very dangerous to open the government and open all of these places because those people that can still quarantine around this time they still gonna be quarantined they don't care about y'all they just care about their bottom line at the end of the day that's all it's about is money right i mean yeah let's say i'll tell you one thing too you know the only way that this could really work uh if they if the government gives out universal basic income. If they give out like $2,000 a month like the House is proposing, then everybody could stay home and properly quarantine. And that's what I got to take care of.

You got to take care of your people. If you want people to really properly quarantine, then you got to pay these folks to pay their bills and pay their rents and their mortgages. We got the money. I mean, we just printed. We just seen, you know, they said they didn't have no money. Now all of a sudden, they printed how much? A trillion dollars? I don't even think they printed. That's our money.

That's our tax income. Do you know back in 2018, I think they said U.S. citizens paid like $1.7 trillion in taxes. If that tax money was really going to where it was supposed to go to instead of going to like, you know, fund our military and other things. We could take care of ourselves in this country in a real way.

That's all I'm saying. Hello, who's this? This is Daquan from Orlando, Florida. How y'all doing? Daquan, what's up, brother? We're talking about shutting the country, opening the country back up. What do you think? What are your thoughts?

Well, I really think that the less impacted states should open up first, but also it's up to the governors. I think each governor should like really follow their graph of their state and seeing exactly which one are less impacted and the one that's less impacted should open up first. Right. Okay. All right. Well, thank you. And it is up to the governor. It is up to the governors under this plan.

So it's not the whole country. It's a state by state. They're giving you permission to start. If you meet these qualifications, open up. Yeah. And it's not like the experts are just saying open up and go back to normal like things were before. No, there's a completely new normal that's going to be going on. It's going to be mask. It's going to be social distancing. It's going to be a lot of different things in place, you know, to possibly prevent the spread of this disease. It's not like just go

back and start shaking hands, hugging and kissing again in public. Hello, who's this? Hi, it's Kenesha from Jacksonville, Florida. Kenesha, Florida ain't never closed. We're talking about opening up this country. What are your thoughts? I mean, I'm all for

you know, the country opening back up, but I don't think it's the right time right now. I mean, I'm all for, you know, the country opening back up, but I don't think it's the right time right now. I mean, you know, we have here in Jacksonville, the beaches are opening back up, you know, for, you know, limited amounts of time for exercise and whatnot. But I just think that, you know, people, they're not, they're hardly paying attention in grocery markets and things like that. And I just think that it's going to get worse. I mean, just a couple days or a couple weeks ago, they were talking about more deaths to come, and I just think it's going to get worse

before it gets better. Kanisha, be honest with me, Kanisha. When did Florida close? Florida ain't closed. We seen them kids on the beach. I seen block parties going on in Florida. When did Florida close? They got wrestling is essential in Florida. When did Florida close, Kenesha? Come on, be honest with me.

I mean, I think we have closed, you know, schools are closing for the kids and whatnot. I mean, I think when the beaches open up, you know, everything else is going to start falling through and I just feel for everyone.

You get what I'm saying? So I don't know. I get it. I mean, I just, I don't know. I pray for everybody, you know. I just think, like I said, once everything starts opening, you're going to see things are going to turn back. And I don't know. I don't know.

None of us do. Thank you for calling. And even if they open up certain states, my whole fear is, you know, you still got to get deliveries to those states. People will be traveling and dropping off goods. And we don't know how long this thing lasts on certain objects for. They say it lasts on cardboard for 24 hours. And this for this amount of time, you just never know. You know, those risks are being taken all across the country.

Like we're still ordering Amazon. We're still ordering packages. We're still ordering UPS like that. Those risks are being taken all across the country. Like we're still ordering Amazon. We're still ordering packages. We're still ordering UPS like that. Those risks are being taken all across the country regardless. Yeah, we are still getting packages and mail. No, we are. But deliveries will go up

and you have people to be out and about more. They'll be able, if you do get it, you're not only in your house. Like if I get a package and I get coronavirus, I'm in my house and I'm still in my house stuck. But now if I get it and I'm going to work, I'm still seeing people. I'm, you know, I have a more of a probability of bumping into somebody if I'm out and about working or if I'm out in these different areas. Phase one and phase

two is still working from home with these different phases. So as long as nothing is, but then they said the gym would be open. As long as the cases aren't growing, you know, that's in phase two, I believe. And they said it will still be uh social distancing though in the gym with a limited amount of people and and guess what a lot of people don't have the luxury of working from home those UPS drivers don't those FedEx drivers don't those mailmen don't those people that's still doing food deliveries don't so it's just like yo people are already taking a lot of those risks anyway so it's just like yo you gotta have you just gotta have the proper precautions that's all everybody gotta have, you just got to have the proper precautions. That's all. Everybody got to have their PPE on. Everybody got to have their hand sanitizer.

Wash your hands. Wash your ass. Pray. You know, use garlic. Wear a crucifix. Whatever you got to do. I don't know. Just got to protect yourself.

And regardless of when each state decides that it's time to open up again, because it could not be until June for some states. It could be in July. You know, who knows? For some states, they could say, we're not ready. Things are getting worse. We can't even start phase one until September. But I do believe that you have to do it in July. You know, who knows? For some states, they could say we're not ready. Things are getting worse. We can't even start phase one until September. But I do believe that you have to do it in phases. And so I do agree with that. You have to test it out a little bit first.

And then if things seem to be OK, then you move into the next phase. But I do agree with that part of it. You can't just go right back to the quote new normal right away. Yeah, I think phases, I just think now might be a little too early, but hey, I'm not an expert. But now, Ye, we got rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to be talking about what you could be watching on television this weekend and also some new music that is out today. All right, we'll get into that next.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On Breakfast Club. Well, I'm super excited for this one. There's going to be a three-hour miniseries Salt-N-Pepa biopic.

And they have released a trailer for this. It'll be on Lifetime. And here's a little snippet for you. Hip-hop is all about attitude. You can't be scared. We record albums, shoot videos. I don't even know who I am outside of the image that we've created here. You women

are role models for a lot of ladies out there. Play the track. I made a promise to myself that no matter what, I make something out of myself. Men can hold us back. If they can make money off of us, we can make money off of us. My, how things changed.

Because I haven't watched any Lifetime movie since the Aaliyah movie because the Aaliyah movie was so trash. But I heard the Clark Sisters one was good. And that Salt-N-Pepa trailer looks good. So maybe I need to start watching Lifetime movies again. Yeah, I'm definitely going to watch this one. Yeah, I'm excited. I cannot wait.

I don't know when it's coming out, but I am super excited. So don't... I'm always glad Lifetime's doing stuff like that, but I just be feeling like some of our artists need to be celebrated a little bit better than just Lifetime movies. But that's just my opinion. Alright, now let's talk about a new show

that's going to be on Netflix today. Black AF, that's Kenya Barris. You know him from Creating Blackish. And Rashida Jones. So we're looking forward to see that. And they are talking about their chemistry as husband and wife, family dysfunction, the black experience, all of that.

The series is based around a black family who lives a relatively affluent lifestyle but still carries all the baggage that comes along with being African American in today's society. So y'all check that out. That started streaming on Netflix today. That's my day. I'm gonna sit down with Deepak Chopra, and then I'm gonna

watch Black is F, and then I'm going to wait for Teddy Riley and Babyface, and then I'm gonna watch Jordan. It's the weekend's coming, baby. We got it. Well, I have more for you this weekend. Goody Mob will be on the season finale of Unsung. What? And I'm looking forward to that, yes.

What time is that? So that's going to be amazing. Gosh, you got so hype, boy. What day and time? Because that's because Goody Mob's Soul Food is one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. If you're not from the South, you probably don't understand. What date was that? What day and time, Yee?

I believe that Unsung comes on on Sundays, but let me just double check. Man, I pray it don't clash with the Jordan duck. You can watch. You know, you can figure it out. When is the Jordan duck? Sunday night. What time? You don't know?

Oh, no, no. This comes on April 19th. What day is April 19th? Sunday. Oh, yep. Sunday. Yep. It's both Sunday.

It is on Sunday. So, you know what? I will say this. They show Unsung like back to back So you probably can You'll just have to stay up late Alright so I'm just giving you Some good TV

Also One of my personal favorites Bosh actually is back today On Prime Video It's season six of Bosh So make sure you check that out also Season seven Next season will be the last

And final season of Bosh Alright now I didn't know Bosh still came on Yeah it's actually the longest running And most successful show on Prime Video Wow Next season will be the last and final season of Bosh. I didn't know Bosh still came on. Yeah, it's actually the longest running and most successful show on Prime Video. Wow. While you're binge watching things, you might want to start watching that. All right, now let's talk about beef getting squashed.

This is amazing. Jim Jones and French Montana, after 15 years of not getting along, they finally stopped the beefing. They squashed it on Instagram Live. France Montana captioned, 15 years of beefing ended up with laughs and war stories. Big moment for hip hop. Shout out to Jim Jones. Me and Juelz was in a phantom.

I don't know if you remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that. You threw your middle finger up at me. I said, I should get out right now. Whip your ass, you little. You was by yourself. I remember that. Me and Juelz was in a fandom

like that. He had behind us. And I left it alone. Juelz was like, man, leave that alone. Why you keep bothering that? I was like, all right, Juelz, man. I remember that like yesterday. I saw you had L's with you.

You had security and I was like, and you held the security back. He was like, nah, nah, we're going dip. I'm like, ain't going through that right here in front of this MTV shit doing police. Yeah, I mean, that's a beautiful thing. Especially when I can't even remember what they was beefing over to begin with. It was a business deal for them first and then it was Max B. It was a business deal going bad.

And then it was Max B. And they never got along. It was nasty in New York. It was that nasty anyway. They couldn't be in the same clubs. They couldn't be in the same places. They were throwing bottles at each other in clubs and venues. So the fact that they

put their beef to the side and actually going to do a stack bundle in chinks day, that's dope. That is really good. Now I wonder if Max B and Jim Jones is going to squash their beef next because now French can maybe try to make that happen. Max B been in jail for how long? Salute to Max B. Max's been in jail for

damn near a decade at this point, right? I'm sure he don't give a damn about no beef on the street. I'm sure that's the last thing on his mind. Another beef squash, Nicki Minaj and Big Fendi. They have put the past behind them. Fendi has his That's A Fendi podcast and here's what happened.

At the end of the day, it was like, I felt like you didn't give me my credit. But Fendi, at the end of the day, it was like, I felt like you didn't give me my credit. But Fendi, at the end of the day, I don't think you were understanding because we played around so much and plus you were older than me, so you probably was like, oh, she just nagging or she just complaining again. You didn't understand that I was really reaching

a breaking point and maybe I didn't articulate that right. You know what I mean? But my thing is, we fell out. Like, we had problems. And then I put out a debut album that did 400,000 in first week. It wasn't like my success came, and then I said, f*** Fendi. I said, f*** Fendi first. Salute to my guy, Big Fendi.

We got to give Fendi back his Instagram page, man. Salute to my guy, Adam, at Instagram. Adam, give Fendi back his Instagram page. He didn't mean anything by it. It was just some areola, a couple ass cheeks. That's all. Oh, my goodness. But I'm glad they squashed the beef, too,

because he was very monumental in Nicki's career early on. In her career. That's who I used to have to deal with when I worked at Sirius. Anything with Nicki, it was Fendi. I never even heard of Nicki Minaj until the come up, not the come up DVDs. What was the DVD Fendi was doing? Was it the Dirty Money joints?

Maybe he just used to be on these DVDs. I don't know if they were necessarily his, but I remember seeing, yeah, it was the come up DVDs. It was his. It was his DVDs. I thought come up was French. French was Coke Boys. I'm confused now. French was Coke Boys.

I don't remember either. I didn't remember. I started first seeing Nicki Minaj with Fendi on those DVDs, Dirty Money Entertainment. Absolutely. Yeah, listen, here's the thing. There's no permanent friends or enemies when it comes to business. You know what I'm saying? So it's just like I don't think that, you know, personal relationships should be ruined just because the business didn't go right.

All right. That's my personal opinion. And listen, we talked a lot about new shows to watch over the weekend. I just got to at least mention, you know, there's a lot of new music out today, too. The Baby's album is out, Blame It On Baby. Also, Division. And I don't know if you guys listen to Division, but I love Division. I still have Division on my playlist from a couple of years ago when they put out their first project.

So I'm excited. Is that Drake's group? Yes. Okay. Why Drake don't promote his group? project so I'm excited yes okay so make sure you're listening to I didn't take a look to see if he promoted them but Boozhoo's on the album, Ty Dolla

Sign, Party Next Door Jesse Reyes, Snow Allegra Summer Walker so this feels like I gotta listen to that that's what I'm gonna be listening to this weekend also West Side Gun he dropped Pray For Paris that album Tech N Tech Nine also put out an album,

Enter Fear. And Fredo Bang put out his most hated mixtape. So a lot of things going on. The Dream, he has shared a 13-track project

that will get you in the mood. So you can check out his Slow Jams project that he put out. You know, we love listening to The Dream whenever possible.

And Drake promoted it. Drake did promote it. He promoted it? Yeah. Put it on his gram? Yep. I saw it because Mr. Morgan posted it.

Yep. And here's a little fun fact. Division has a song called Angela, just so y'all know. Not on this project, but previously. All right, I'm Angela Yee

and that is your rumor report. He said, I think I have an ad lib on this song. My goodness. All right. Y'all should end this weekend. If y'all want to get in the mood, go flashback to Divisions Too Deep.

That's an amazing song. Okay. All right. When we come back, we got the People's Choice Mix. We throw it back because it's Friday. So let's get into it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests on the line. We have Toya right here and Regine Carter. Good morning, guys. Good morning. How y'all quarantining? Looks like a whole bunch of money. She got on a Versace roll. Regine look rich.

Hair done. Toya look rich too, but Toya look a little subtle rich Regine like nah I wake up like this Got it Yes Why y'all not quarantining together y'all live in different places Yes she has her own place I bought my own house

Regine's not 15 anymore Charlamagne Regine rich for real Regine rich for real Regine have you been by yourself Face time everyday All day Reggie ain't rich for real. What, do y'all FaceTime every day? All day. All day. Every day.

Reggie, have you been by yourself, though? Yes, I have. Why you all in her business trying to find out who's there? Goodness gracious. We just checking. What was that look for? You might have to drive over there and check. I know I don't.

Not at my age. I mean, I feel like me and my friends, we FaceTime, we play games on house parties. I keep myself entertained. So, Regine, you're single now. Who's sliding in your DMs? Because we've been watching Friends and Family Hustle. We know the new season started. We know that Cucumber Party was the last straw in your relationship with YFN Lucci. So who is in those DMS now?

Um, I, you know, I don't know who be in the DMS, honestly, I don't even be looking because I'm not, you know, I'm trying to, I'm getting more involved with myself and, you know, I feel like, you know, God is going to bring somebody to me. Like, I'm tired of this generation. I can't deal with how these young boys, they walk, they move. I can't deal with it. Like, my head space is different.

So I'm going to just wait for my husband because I can't deal. I'm going to just have fun and just, you know, love on myself, love me, and whoever wants to love me. That's right, girl. Love on yourself and love you. And as for me, then hey. What do you tell her, Mommy? What do you tell your daughter during this time about these nasty-ass boys?

I mean, at the end of the day, I want her to be happy, but I don't want her to just be out here settling and allowing guys to disrespect her. Like, that was our issue before. And, you know, you live and you learn, you grow, and I'm so glad she's mature enough to, you know, to now she sees, you know, and she understands and she knows what she wants. So whenever the right guy come along, I'm just praying that he's disrespectful,

treats her like a queen, and all of those things. And it's not no rappers, okay? No rappers. Now, Toya, you can't say that. No rappers. That's enough. Her daddy's a rapper. Come on, Charlamagne.

You can't date one rapper and just keep going rapper, rapper. I see what you're saying. That was enough. Like, I've dated you're saying. She had her dose. That was enough. Like, I dated her dad. She said that's enough. I wasn't about to keep doing the rapper thing. Like, that's enough.

You can't go through a rapper. Because they'll unfairly label Regine if she start dating multiple rappers. Exactly. Yes. But, Regine, let me ask you this, though, because it seemed like you kept going back and, you know, for some reason that was such a, like, you would break up, you guys would get back together, a lot of things were really public.

What had you, like, keep going back and... I mean, honestly, I was in love with Ray. I mean, I feel like I'm still kind of in love with him, but I love him from a distance now. You know, it's like it's sort of how I love myself more. So it's like I will never disrespect him as to like dating another rapper or or bashing him. Because we've had we had we have a bond. We had a bond that was very strong.

And at one point it was healthy. It was cool. I was happy. So I feel like that's what kind of kept me going. And also, I don't like starting over. I hate starting over because it's just like, oh, I got to get to know you again. I got to trust you. I got to see if you're really here for me or if you're trying to get turned up.

Like, you know, so it's just that was what I was used to when I was young and growing. It was my first real grown man. It was like I thought I was doing something. What did daddy say when you were going through all that stuff? My dad is like my best friend. He's always, he's like, oh, let me tell you. My dad is very like, he's not confrontational. He's not like, okay, he's like listen if you like

it i love it so if i come to him and i'm like yeah i'm mad at ray but he like baby you gotta leave him then like you can't you can't like listen like if he's not making you happy because my father treats me like a queen so he always say hey baby if he ain't treating you better than me it's over with like so I feel like at the I kept calling him because I do talk to my daddy he's a rapper he understood right and I'm not gonna say every time he was like oh yeah leave him sometimes he'll be like okay nay like this time I understand you tripping but because I'm a girl I did I was sometimes trippin but also he also told me like listen you gotta love yourself I love you you gotta pick somebody that loves you more than I love you we

know how you grew up how you saw me love on you and feed you and care you and respect you so it's like you look for that in a man. That's great advice. I was just like, okay. Yeah. I will say, I think you might have been a little hard on Lucido only because you know YFN stands for young faithful. So you know he wasn't doing nothing at that cucumber party.

Ah! Ah! That was impressive. There were so many cucumber parties though. It wasn't just like that party. It was so many cucumber parties, though. It wasn't just like that party. That party didn't start at just Trouble and Alexis Scott's party. It started off with his manager party, and I already had told him that, okay, you got your fun, but I don't like that.

And I felt like since it was like trouble and they broadcasted it, and I was like, dang, I feel like you just saying, forget about me. You know, and you still going. Right. It wasn't just that one cue. Oh, good cue. I know you're a rapper. I know you did, but I told you that I don't like it.

So if you do it again, that's like you saying, okay, forget what you like. Well, did you at the party, that's like you said, I can't forget what you like. Wasn't you at the party, too? Checking on him? Yes, I was at the party because I was spying on him. Oh, got you. I wasn't supposed to go there. I wasn't going there. Nobody knew.

It was me and Zyneek. We was like, hey, we don't go and spy on these dudes, okay? Because me and Zyneek, her boyfriend was there, too. So, we was like, let's go these dudes, okay? Because me and I, her boyfriend was there too. So we was like, let's go. So we went there. I got my own section. I thought I was, yeah, I thought I was like, oh, this is a, this is a real party.

We got guns. We got a gun. I said, I got you a party. Yeah. If he cleans it up, does he have another shot if he cleans things up? Oh, no. We're friends. I feel like at this point, it's like, it's too much.

Look at Toya. Yeah, it's too much. It's deeper than a cucumber party. That's the thing. It's deeper than a cucumber party. So I'm not going to say too much. It's deeper than that. It's things that I It's deeper than a cucumber party. So I'm not going to say too much. It's deeper than that. It's things that I don't think will change.

Right. Well, season three of Family Hustle has started and I see you guys are going to be dealing with some difficult things in particular, the trial for your brother's murder, Toya. So how hard is that now for you to have to deal with? Because, you know, that's definitely a heartbreaking situation.

That was extremely hard for us to deal with, and we happened to be filming during that time. So, of course, it's like, you know, we showed what we were going through at the time. As time go on, it gets easier to deal with, but it's a pain that will never go away. So, of course, when I see it, you know, on a show or when, you know, we bring it up and talk about it, you know, it's a touchy situation. But I'm happy that they got the justice they deserve

and, you know, they will have a beer in our heart. Well, we appreciate you guys for checking in, man. We're so grateful that you guys are quarantined, staying out of the way, and staying healthy. So, thank you so much for checking in this morning. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Stay healthy. Peace.

Alright, y'all. Y'all be safe. Thank y'all. Alrighty, then. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, shout out to Dr. Phil for joining us this morning.

Salute to Dr. Phil for joining us this morning. Salute to Dr. Phil. FYI, we taped that yesterday. We see him trending, by the way. Yeah, I see him trending for, you know, the comments that he made. Listen, I must be crazy because I'd be understanding what they'd be saying. You know what I'm saying? But I just think that he was wrong because, you know,

none of those things are contagious. But car accidents do kill 1.35 million people a year. They don't stop making cars. They don't lower the speed limit. Smoking cigarettes results in 480,000 deaths a year, but they don't stop selling cigarettes. Yeah, but it's not contagious. That's the whole thing. And I think with coronavirus too,

the disparity and how it's affecting black people also is a big deal. I don't know what the numbers are as far as the disparities when it comes to car accidents. You think smoking cigarettes isn't negatively affecting black people? Especially in the black community? No, I'm talking about the disparities. I don't

know if there's a big difference in how it affects the population. I get it. I just think it is contagious. But my point is these things hurt people. But they don't do anything to correct the hurt because they're all making profit off it. Cigarettes should not be sold anywhere if 480,000 people are dying a year because of it. But anyway, also shout out to Regine Carter and Toya Wright for joining us this morning.

Yes, Family Hustle is back on TV, and they're going through a lot. I think it'll be interesting to watch as, you know, Regine is always affected by, I feel like, and Toya talks about this on the show, just what people talk about online. I think that's something everybody can relate to, especially for kids, to pay attention to your kids' mental health when it comes to social media. Hey, I want to salute my dude Carlito too, man. Carlito is a funny guy. Carlito is

a barber. He used to cut our hair. He still cuts my hair when I go to Atlanta. He got a shop in Atlanta. He texted me yesterday and he said, he texted me this morning, he said, what you and Chico did yesterday was dope because Chico does this thing called Hairline Chronicles where he has brothers, you know, just coming on his IG Live

and showing their hairlines. And Carlito said, when you're ready, I'll be honored to cut your hair off, and in return, I will let you cut mine. Lito, don't let me ruin your hairline, my brother. Oh, my goodness. I haven't had a hairline in years because a brother's trying to, you know, practice on me. My cousin Dante used to practice on me back in the day. He used to be trying to get my hairline in years because a brother is trying to, you know, practice on me.

My cousin Dante used to practice on me back in the day. He used to be trying to get my hairline so sharp that he used to push it all the way back. Don't let me do that. Don't let me do that to you, Lita. And also, let me shout out. You need a hug right now too, bro. Since we're talking about things that happened yesterday, my girl, Valicia, she does this branding intensive series where people can come in and join on Eventbrite. And she talks to

different people. And it was a great conversation. You know, Valicia started Ween, which is an academy that is a nonprofit where she helps young women who want to be in the entertainment industry actually learn things and break in. And I always teach a class for Ween. And yesterday we did this online branding intensive and it was really, really fun. I had a great time talking to all the women who joined in the conversation. So shout out to my girl, Valicia, who is always out here doing work for our young women. Shout out to Valicia. Charlamagne, you got a positive note? I do, man.

The positive note, I want y'all to remember this this weekend. My healing is already in process, okay? My willingness to forgive begins my healing process. I allow the love from my own heart to wash through me, cleansing and healing every part of my body. I know I am worth healing. You deserve that healing, people. Breakfast club, bitches!
