Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.

Starting point is 00:03:28 Just wanted to say, Nori, we appreciate you and salute you. Always a solid individual. You can listen to the drinks. I remember running into Nori right when he started Drink Champs, and he was like, I'm media now. I'm a media person now. That's right. You can catch the Drink Champs podcast on the Black Effect
Starting point is 00:03:41 iHeartRadio podcast network. Nice. That's my partner. Me and Nori do a lot of great business together. Shout out to Nori. Last night I went to the premiere of Raisin Canin. And I was actually DJing the event. It was a premiere in the city at the
Starting point is 00:03:54 Hammerstein Ballroom. You ain't had your Gucci short set on. I did. I had my Adidas. So was that a dress code? Well, it was, you know, it's set in the late 80s, 90s. Oh, because I was wondering. I was like, okay, does everybody have to wear a Gucci short set? Because our fifth had a Gucci short set on.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Somebody else had one on, too. Set in that era. So because it was set in that era, everybody was wearing Adidas. You know, they were throwing it back to the 80s and 90s. Got you. So I DJed, you know, the beginning of it, 80s and 90s music, mostly 90s. You still DJ, yo? Serious question. Bro.
Starting point is 00:04:24 When you say DJ, what do you mean DJ? I'm booked and busy. He's DJ Envy. Yeah, why you saying yes like that? You know Envy don't be DJing. I'm booked and busy, bro. That don't mean you actually plan the record. Okay, okay, girl.
Starting point is 00:04:35 I don't start. I'm booked and busy. Put that in your bio. Yeah. Shut up. But yeah, so I got to see Raising Kane in the first episode, which is dope. Now, the thing, the reason I like Power Book 3 is if you miss the first two, you don't have to worry.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Like, it's not like, oh, I got to catch up. It starts from the beginning. So it's- It's an origin story. Yeah, it's really, really, really, really, really dope. I think it premieres this weekend. So definitely check it out. It was really good.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I want to see Kane in his origin story, because I still need to know how Kanan survived that damn fire in the second season. Okay. Oh, maybe that was the end of the first season. No, I think it was the second season. Yeah, that's not an origin story, though. I know, but I want to see the origin story. Because I want to know what kind of superpowers he gained in his youth that he was able to survive that fire in his adulthood. Yeah, you get to see all that.
Starting point is 00:05:20 But, you know, the thing I love about it, and I'm always amazed, I'm always amazed how they can find so many things from the 80s and 90s, from the Walkmans, to the clothes, to the cars, to the furniture in the houses, to the old stores. Like, whoever does the design and the set is amazing. What do you mean you're amazed? What do you think they do with this stuff? I don't know!
Starting point is 00:05:39 That's what I'm trying to figure out. What are you talking about? My mama throws it out, so I don't know. The fact that they got old Walkmans, old clothes and old sneakers and the old cars. All of that is preserved some way. Just like in the future, what we're doing right now in 2021, stuff will be here. This is dope. This is dope. So you get to see that.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Somebody just sent me a Walkman as part of a package for a show. Somebody had been like, what the hell is a Walkman? But yeah, but it was dope. Then after that, they had a lot of performances, a lot of 50s favorite artists. So he had EPMD, Cool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, and Rock Kim perform, which I thought
Starting point is 00:06:15 was dope too, last night. After the show. So it was pretty dope. So shout out to everybody at Starz, shout out to everybody at G-Unit. Had a good time last night. Now, Patti LaBelle will be joining us this morning. Oh, we are Urban A.C. Drop on a Clues Bomb for us, baby. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Let me get my Walkman. This is old nigga time. Let's go. You're older than the Walkman for that one. You might be the 8-track for that one. I love it. Okay. I am who I am, damn it.
Starting point is 00:06:41 We are who we are. What's happening? The Breakfast Club. Well, let me get my Bengay and let's get this show started. You bet you, Bengay. I've heard that too. Let's go. I hate you.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Everybody being themselves this morning. I hate you. All right, let's get back to normal. Pop Smoke's album came out, all right? Let's get on the joint. Last night, right? Yesterday? Last night.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Let's get a joint off his album. Then we got front page. New here's Pop Smoke, Kanye West, and Pusha T. It's called Television. And don't you ever in your life forget that Kanye West is great at music. Goodness gracious. Drop one of those bombs for Kanye West. Don't you ever in your life forget that Pusha T is one of the sharpest, freshest MCs. Know what I said?
Starting point is 00:07:21 MCs that ever live. And God bless that young brother, Pop Smoke. As the legendary Angie Martinez said on that record, he was only 20 years old. That's exactly why age is a blessing. Do you realize how huge Pop Smoke would have been if he just made it to the age of 22? That's right. But get 30 and in your 40s. If Pop Smoke would have just made it to 22 years old, he would be a superstar.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Age is a blessing. Embrace it. Be happy to be here. Be happy to be alive, people. Pusha T gets busy. Goodness gracious. All right. That's a shout out to Pusha T.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Like 44, 45. He's running circles around these people still. Pusha T, goodness gracious. All right. Pusha different. Let's get him some front page news. You got 60 seconds, T. Go.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Well, six players on the Yankees have tested positive for COVID-19. And so because of that, they have postponed the game that they were supposed to have. Just letting y'all know it's still out here. And in L.A. County, they had to reinstate the mask mandate amidst the rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. Also, the World Health Organization is warning of a strong likelihood of new, possibly more dangerous variants in many parts of the world. They said the pandemic is nowhere near finished. All right. And lastly, I want to talk about this flight into space with Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder, that was set to launch next Tuesday. Now, the person that was supposed to go, I guess, had a scheduling conflict. What else you got better to do than go to space?
Starting point is 00:08:46 I can't go today. I got a doctor's appointment. I can't go to space today. I got a dentist appointment. How rich are you to be able to say something like that? How great is your life? I love it. So, yes, they actually spent $28 million to be able to go.
Starting point is 00:09:01 That's how much they auctioned that seat off for. But in a surprise announcement, they said that person will not be able to join because That's how much they auctioned that seat off for. But in a surprise announcement, they said that person will not be able to join because of scheduling conflicts. The bidder, who is anonymous, will join a future mission, according to the company. Now they have the youngest person who's going to go. And this person is named Oliver Damon.
Starting point is 00:09:21 He's 18 years old. So they have not released how much he spent. How did he get to get on there? Like, is the seat already paid for and that's just somebody they chose or what? No, his father paid for it. Dang.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Goodness gracious. He'll be the first paying customer now to board this flight to space. How much it cost? Yeah. They didn't reveal how much he paid for it. But we do know the other person,
Starting point is 00:09:44 the other bid The other bid $28 million We tried to raise a GoFundMe for little Duval to go You know what I'm saying We tried to raise I think it was $28 million We only raised like $50 That much?
Starting point is 00:09:55 I don't know if it was $50 I think it was $5 I think it was $5 Y'all don't want to see Duval in space I guess You didn't even give any money to it No I prayed for him though He prayed for him You can't try to raise money to send someone to space And you didn't even give any money to it. No. I prayed for him though. He prayed for him.
Starting point is 00:10:06 You can't try to raise money to send someone to space and you didn't even donate. That is front page news. Now, we're not going to say nothing that the fact that they made everybody take the vaccinations, told everybody to take vaccinations and they said, okay, you still got to wear your mask. Who's everyone? A lot of people. California
Starting point is 00:10:21 be pissed off. That's part of the reason why people took the vaccination because they said once you take the vaccination, you can start living life back to getting back to normal. Common sense should have told y'all, because we've been watching this for the past year and some change. They don't know what the hell is going on. That's why things always constantly change. They get new information, so they change the way we do things.
Starting point is 00:10:39 That's it. That's all. Yeah, I mean, there's a new variant, but they are saying that 99% of the people who are hospitalized are not vaccinated. So why are you playing? Why you got everybody else suffering? But also people that have the vaccine are still getting the virus. So that's the main reason they should have never told
Starting point is 00:10:54 people to stop wearing their mask. But they're just not getting hospitalized. That's the point, I guess, of getting it, that you won't get as sick. Yeah, but still, you still should still be wearing your mask. They should have never told people don't wear your mask in public if you're vaccinated. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Back in the day on a G-Unit mixtape, 50 Cent said, I pull up to the curve and I say, look at these donkeys. Bunch of effing jackasses. And I just thought, he's right.
Starting point is 00:17:43 There's a bunch of donkeys out here in the streets. So that's literally how it started. Goodness gracious. For me anyway. In my mind. So do you owe 50-some royalties for that? Probably. I mean, if you listen to the first Donkey of the Day intro, he's in the intro. I used that clip from the G-Unit
Starting point is 00:17:59 mixtape. Like literally when I heard him call people donkeys, I said that's the perfect name for some of these jackasses out here in these streets. Donkeys. Okay. Give them a goddamn hee haw. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Now, you, we got rumors on the way? Yes. And let's talk about this couple that survived a home break in and it was a shootout. All right. We'll talk about that when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's about time. What's going on? talk about that when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's about time.
Starting point is 00:18:25 What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, MTV Cribs is back. It was one of their most popular programs. I don't know why they ever got rid of it because I enjoy watching that but the new season kicks off at August 11th 9.30pm Eastern 30 minute episode
Starting point is 00:18:47 so some people you can see on this new series reboot series is Rick Ross, Big Sean, Tinashe Nick Young, Scott Disick, Snooki JoJo Siwa Martha Stewart and more. Who's hosting it? I don't know who's hosting it Who was hosting it before? I don't know who's who was hosting it before
Starting point is 00:19:06 I don't remember MTV Cribs ever having a host I thought they did no maybe not maybe the artists I used to love MTV Cribs I would love to see that again yeah but it's now the time for this show like people out here starving you see all these artists houses getting ran up in all the time it's now the time for this show
Starting point is 00:19:22 it's inspiration you can see different houses and tell them how they're doing. Inspiration for the goons to be like, oh, we're going to hit that one next. It just feels like you're dangling meat in front of a bunch of starving wolves. I don't know. But the heat is on. I mean, remember the Redman episode? I think that was probably the most popular one. I used to love them to be clear.
Starting point is 00:19:40 It used to give me inspiration when you see somebody's house and how they live and the furniture and what they have that that never wanted me to hate inspired me to work hard i agree but the gap between the haves and the have notches so wide now that's why you see all of these things happening i just didn't little dirk's house just she about to talk about it now oh okay yes we are little dirk in india uh they reportedly exchanged gunfire with the people who ran up in their home. The incident occurred around 5 a.m. on Sunday. This is in Georgia, by the way. And they were reportedly inside at the time of the invasion.
Starting point is 00:20:12 And they did both exchange gunfire with the suspects. There were no injuries reported. No arrests have been made. And we don't know how many people illegally entered his home. But they said the unidentified intruders did flee the scene and they are at large so they're asking the public for any information related to the home invasion i tell everybody all the time and i know people think it's a joke get a dog if you can afford it you buy a dog and i'm gonna tell you why and i know that the dogs don't stop anything but it's the first line of defense
Starting point is 00:20:40 if somebody wants to shoot your dog or kill your dog or grab your dog you're gonna hear your dog barking you're gonna hear the gunshot which, you're going to hear the gunshot, which gives you enough time to do what you got to do. But I have a couple of dogs. You need the dog, but you definitely need a gun too. You know what I mean? So God bless the little dog. Well, that's the first offense. The first offense is the dog, and then you got your hammer. You're done. I'm just glad he
Starting point is 00:20:57 was prepared, and that's why I always say owning a legal firearm in America as a black man, you know, or a black woman, is a form of self-care. Absolutely. I agree. All right. Now 50 Cent has announced the BMF premiere date. I know we're excited for this. And he also put out the series trailer. It's very visual. So if you want to see what that looks like,
Starting point is 00:21:17 you can look online and see that BMF trailer, but it looks like it's going to be pretty exciting. And he said, it's lit for real BMF. You know, this is going to be pretty exciting. And he said, it's lit for real BMF. You know, this is going to be crazy bigger than power.

Starting point is 00:26:39 Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Starting point is 00:27:21 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with Manchin. Roughly a dozen Texas Democrats met with West Virginia's Joe Manchin in a Capitol Hill basement. And he holds the key vote in Congress on voting rights legislation.
Starting point is 00:27:50 And here is what Manchin told reporters after the hour-long meeting. There shouldn't be a Democrat or a Republican that wouldn't or couldn't or shouldn't vote for something that truly just only deals with voting and the rights of voters. Did you have a discussion in there about the filibuster? No, there is no thing about the filibuster. There is a filibuster. Sir, what if no Republicans will support that, which is what they've indicated? They're not doing anything.
Starting point is 00:28:14 You know why? Because they've had a bill that's 800 pages long. They've had everything thrown at them. Let's get back to the basic rights of voting, protecting voting rights. Yes, protect voting rights, Joe Manchin. But if the only way to protect voting rights is getting rid of the filibuster, then get rid of the filibuster. I do not understand why they think that the same people who are for voter suppression would all of a sudden turn around and vote for the for the people lack are the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. It makes absolutely no sense to me.
Starting point is 00:28:43 All right. Now, Democrat Joyce Beatty was one of nine people arrested Thursday at a voting rights demonstration in the Hart Senate office building. And she celebrated that arrest on social media. Hashtag good trouble. She tweeted after she was let off in plastic cuffs. Obviously, that's reference to John Lewis, the civil rights icon. And she wore a T-shirt that read, Protect Our Voting Rights. And she led a group of protesters into the building
Starting point is 00:29:09 where they chanted, Pass for the People Act. Yes. Sweeping voting rights legislation that is stalled right now in the Senate. Oh, yeah. It was a lot of people raising hell in the streets yesterday. Salute to Tamika Mallory and Untell Freedom. Salute to LaTosha Brown and Black Voters Matter.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Salute to the organizations that were protesting in Texasxas like they was raising hell about this yesterday so dropping the clues bombs for the people that's always on the front line fighting for us absolutely all right now this story was um it had a great ending but it was heartbreaking to hear a woman who had been held captive since may was rescued after she left notes in public restrooms. One of her notes read, if I don't make it, tell my family I love them. She left notes on scraps of paper in public restrooms, and that's what helped Pennsylvania authorities track down the woman. And in the first note that was discovered last Thursday in a Walmart, police said the woman wrote she was being sexually and physically assaulted by a man. She said she was
Starting point is 00:30:03 being held against her will. She asked anybody to please call 911. She also included an address and warned that the man had a knife. She said, if I don't make it to my family, I love them. Nobody answered the door when police went and investigated that address that was listed on the note. They also attempted to contact the woman by phone, but they were told by the man that she was on vacation in New York. And then on Saturday, another note was found in the women's bathroom at the Falling Water Museum. And the note stated that she had been being held since May 1st at Spreading Oak Drive, and they were not on vacation. It states that she heard the police knocking at the residence. The abuse hasn't stopped, and please don't give up. That's what prompted authorities to return to that house on Sunday
Starting point is 00:30:43 with a SWAT team. So they did save the woman woman they arrested the man that she described in the notes Corey Brewer 38 years old of Pittsburgh was charged with multiple crimes yeah so there's going to be a preliminary court hearing set for July 22nd if you guys watched the shy you remember on the last season it was kind of a situation like that so I'm so happy that they managed to save her. I can't imagine what she's been through, you know, during that time, but I thank God that she's alive and they managed to, to get her out of that situation based off of her leaving those notes.
Starting point is 00:31:14 All right. I'm sending, sending her any healing energy she may need at this time. All right. Now dictionary.com has added over 300 new words, terms, and revised definitions. And some of those are a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Starting point is 00:31:29 But some of the words and terms that are now included on dictionary.com include cultural appropriation. I can't believe that wasn't there before. Isn't that two words though? Yeah. There's words and terms. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Okay. Okay. Yes. So they said, um, DEI was included. You know what that stands for? Mm. Mm. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Yes, so they said DEI was included. You know what that stands for? Mm-mm. Diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Oh. One drop rule was also added. 5G, or fifth generation, was added. Now, I'm not going to sit here and act like I opened up a dictionary in the past 20 years. I might have, you know, but I don't remember terms being in the dictionary. Me neither. I just remember words. Yeah, words. Well, this is on dictionary.com.
Starting point is 00:32:12 So you know a lot of times... Now, usually we use Urban Dictionary when we need to look things up. That's true. That is very true. That is very true. Urban Dictionary is definitely my go-to, okay? There's never been terms in there. There's definitely terms in Urban Dictionary. They also have... They also have Long COVID.
Starting point is 00:32:29 That's a new term that they've added. A condition characterized by symptoms or health problems that linger or first appear after supposed recovery from an acute phase of COVID-19 infection. They also have the term Long Hauler. Those are people who experience symptoms. You know people who have
Starting point is 00:32:44 COVID, but they've had experience symptoms for a really long time that linger. Now what dictionary? Is this the Emanuel Lewis Dictionary? This is dictionary.com. Dictionary. Okay. So this ain't Webster. No. And Yeet is also in the dictionary now.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Do y'all know what that is? Yeah. Putting the T on the end of your name. That's what that is? What is that? I thought it was like a yeast infection. Man, shut up. She didn't say yeast. She said yeet. What is yeet? Yeet.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Yeet. It's like when you're enthusiastic about something. Zaddy's in there now. Okay, finally they're giving me the respect I deserve. Definitely not. Come on, don't act like they don't be calling me Uncle Zaddy out here. Sit your ass back down, man. What you mean?

When somebody says zaddy, I stand up and let them know where zaddy at. It means a zesty daddy. Sit your thunderdise ass back down. You see me? You see zaddy. You see zaddy. Uncle zaddy. You see zaddy.
Starting point is 00:33:32 They call me Uncle Zaddy or Uncle Snacky. Nobody calls me that, man. Did you hear what the definition is? What? Zesty daddy. That's not about right for me. No, it's not the definition. I made it up.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Oh, okay. That's not what it is. Y'all know what zaddy is. Okay, No, that's a definition. I made it up. Oh, okay. That's not what it is. Y'all know what zaddy is.

Starting point is 00:33:54 All right. All right. He always blessing little heart. Bless his little heart. Mm-hmm. Bless his little heart. Bless his little zesty heart. No, that's right.
Starting point is 00:34:04 There you go. All right. Well, that's your front page news. Now, that's right. There you go. All right. Well, that's your front page news. Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Ladies, would you want a stay-at-home husband? That's what we're asking. This came from G Herbo.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Let's hear what G Herbo had to say. I ain't gonna lie. I'm gonna get married soon, man. I gotta get married. She's the one. The only thing that's really been holding me back, man, and I'm not going to blame it on my career or nothing like that. I don't want to be that husband or that guy that just look up
Starting point is 00:34:32 and I let 10 years go by in my life because I'm chasing my dreams and I'm chasing something and I'm neglecting my family and what's at home right now. I really want to be a stay-at-home dad. I really want to be at the crib learning how to cook and all that type of stuff. All right, so we're asking 800-585-1051. Ladies, would you want a stay-at-home husband? Now, gentlemen, you was a stay-at-home husband for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:34:56 I was a stay-at-home husband. I was a stay-at-home husband. My first daughter was born June of 2008, and I got fired. 2009 the moral of the story is I got I got fired and so I was too proud to go collect unemployment checks so I was at home for like eight nine months while my wife was working and paying the bills what and how was the relationship what you mean with me and my wife yeah fantastic yeah did you have dinner on the table and stuff like that And how was the relationship? What you mean? With me and my wife? Yeah. It was fantastic. It was still good. Yeah, 100%. Did you have dinner on the table and stuff like that?
Starting point is 00:35:28 Rub her feet? No, I didn't. I don't remember doing all that. Did you clean the house? I was with the baby. I was with my daughter all the time. Did you clean, do the laundry, all those things? Nah, I mean, at the time.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Oh, you're fired. You're fired. No, no, no. I was with the baby. I mean, no. You were bummed. You were bummed. What do you mean? I was with the baby. It was, I mean. You were bummed. You were bummed. I hear what you mean.
Starting point is 00:35:46 I was with the baby. So the baby fell asleep. You wasn't even doing nothing. I was with the newborn. What are you talking about? So the baby goes to sleep for two hours a day. No, she did. There's not no newborn.
Starting point is 00:35:54 So she stayed up the whole day? Pretty much. So she didn't. You're out of your damn mind. I was feeding the baby, changing diapers. And when the baby needed to go to sleep, I would put on Ghostface and Music Soul Child Love. And that song would soothe my daughter. And she'd go to sleep. And what would you do when she didn't go to sleep? You go to sleep, I would put on Ghostface and Music Soul Child Love, and that song would soothe my daughter,
Starting point is 00:36:06 and she'd go to sleep. And what would you do when she didn't go to sleep? You'd go to sleep too? You said what? What would she do when you was going to sleep? What would she do when she was going to sleep? What were you doing while she was going to sleep? Sleeping.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Everybody knows you sleep when the newborns sleep, fool. You don't listen to women. So that's all you did. You didn't do nothing. So you didn't clean. You didn't wash the dishes. I'm not going to disrespect me. I know my life.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Okay, I know what I was doing. I was watching my newborn when she was eight, nine months old while my queen was out. So your wife had to work all day, then come home and clean up and do the laundry and cook? I don't remember who was doing all that. God, you don't remember. Because we was living in an apartment. It was like a 1,500 square foot apartment. It wasn't that big because I don't remember who was doing all that.
Starting point is 00:36:43 There's been more reason you had to clean. I was a stay-at-home dad and my queen was holding it down. But I don't think that's what G Herbo was talking about. I think G Herbo was talking about getting enough money so neither one of them have to do anything. That's what I think he's talking about. So let's open up the phone lines. Would you want a stay-at-home husband? I was broke.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Let's talk about it. 805. And too proud to go get unemployment checks. 105. One is the Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 00:39:55 And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. talking about being a stay-at-home dad or husband. I ain't gonna lie, I'm gonna get married soon, man. I gotta get married. She's the one. Only thing that's really been holding me back, man, and I'm not gonna blame it on my career or nothing like that.
Starting point is 00:40:34 I don't wanna be that husband or that guy that just look up and I let 10 years go by my life because I'm chasing my dreams and I'm chasing something and I'm neglecting my family and what's at home right now. You know, like, I really want to be a stay-at-home dad. I really want to be at the crib, like, learning how to cook and all that type of stuff. So we're asking
Starting point is 00:40:53 800-585-1051, would you mind, ladies, if your husband was a stay-at-home dad? I think G Herbo's definition of being a stay-at-home dad is different than what we may have in mind. You know what I mean? Let's talk about our definition, though. Not what he wants, but, like, just a regular stay-at-home dad is different than what we may have in mind. Let's talk about our definition, though. Not what he wants, but just a regular stay-at-home dad, because I think that could be amazing.
Starting point is 00:41:10 I wouldn't mind being a stay-at-home dad. No, you wouldn't. You can't take it out, Herbal. I think if you're saying, would you like to do what G Herbal is saying, meaning we all would like to have an abundance of money where neither one of us worked and we both were at home with the kids. Yes. But would you want a stay at home dad like
Starting point is 00:41:29 I was in 2008 when I got fired from the Wendy Williams show and I was too proud and had too much of an ego to collect unemployment checks. So I stayed at home with my newborn daughter who was just born that June. So she was like five, six months old by the time I got fired. And my wife had to go out there and work. Because here's the thing. If somebody's staying at home, somebody got to be out there paying the bills. Correct. Right? That's what happened to Kate Williams up here talking about a couple weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:41:54 She was like, yo, I'll stay at home and I'll make sure that the house is curated, but I'm not paying no mortgage. Who's going to pay the mortgage? So is the wife going to have to go out there and do all the work? Yes. That's what a stay-at-home dad. She goes to goes to work and i stayed home so i don't know if women want that that's that's a great question i don't know i would do that i would stay home let my wife take out i would do the cooking as a woman do you not want to know i would say this if i make enough
Starting point is 00:42:18 money to be able to do that now the only reason i would want a guy to do that is if we had a child and i would rather he you know know, be there for that. Because I actually have a really good friend who did that with her child's father. He stayed at home and didn't work and took care of the kid because she made enough money to handle things. And it would have cost more for them to pay for, you know, for child care. So she actually liked the fact that he really bonded with his daughter. He was like a freelance photographer. So he was able to just do that like here and there.
Starting point is 00:42:45 But he was majority taking care of their child. So he did have a job, though. He said he was a freelance photographer. He had a job. Yeah, he was a freelance. So he could work like when he, you know, when things came up. But I do think you need something to do, though, because I also think that you'll drive yourself crazy if you're just home all the time and not like doing other things. So if it's volunteer work,
Starting point is 00:43:06 if it's, you know, working part time or doing something that you just enjoy. That's a lot of work. Like stay at home moms, they are a lot of that. That's their job. That's their job. But I also know a lot of times women feel like I want to really like associate and do other things with adults
Starting point is 00:43:21 because you don't want that to be all you do. I mean, you could do that on the weekends, but I'll tell you one thing. There's been times when we had weeks off and my wife had to go away and I was the stay-at-home dad and I had to take care of the kids and everything. But that ain't staying-at-home dad
Starting point is 00:43:34 if you're only doing it for a day or two. I'm saying it even for a day or two. I don't want to do it. Man, hush, man. That's not staying-at-home. That's not a stay-at-home dad. Stay-at-home dad is somebody... That's being a father.
Starting point is 00:43:43 That's not being a father. I mean, staying-at-home dad. That's being a father. That's called being a father. I mean, a stay-at-home dad is somebody who constantly and consistently has devoted their life, I would think, to the kids. And that's their home. They hold the house down. They hold the kids down. And that's a job. The way Ebony K. Williams was talking about it a couple weeks ago up here, that's staying at home. And that's a job.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Hello, who's this? This is Monique. Hey, Monique. Good morning. How are y's this? This is Monique. Hey, Monique. Good morning. How are y'all? I'm good. Would you mind if your husband was a stay-at-home dad,
Starting point is 00:44:10 a stay-at-home husband? Oh, no. I mean, honestly, I can do it for a little while because I know people go through things, but no, I can't do it for a long time.
Starting point is 00:44:18 It's a real pain in the ass. I can't. No way. I can be supportive, but after so long, yeah, you gotta get up and go get your job. Yeah, I can't see too many women wanting to stay at home dad that's just broke. It's like somebody got to pay the bills. Somebody got to pay the bills. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:44:38 This is Smoke out of Carolina. Hey, what's up, brother? Hey, good morning. Peace, King. What part of Carolina are you calling from? Fayetteville. Fayetteville, Luderville. So what were you thinking?
Starting point is 00:44:50 I mean, we ask women, but we can ask you. Would you be a stay-at-home dad or a stay-at-home husband, brother? I was a stay-at-home dad from 2015 to 2017 when my son was born. Then I had to let my wife stay at home because I felt it was the first time having a baby. I felt kind of bad because I got the first three years with my daughter. I let her get it with my son and I went back to the workforce. So what was the reason?
Starting point is 00:45:14 You actually took off just to raise your son? I know. I'm retired from the military. This is going to be my 10th year retired. I already had a home. I'm already established. So it was just making a home with somebody else. Wanted to give her a home. I'm already established. So it was just making a home with somebody else. Wanted to give her a chance. So you already had money in the bank. You had things set
Starting point is 00:45:29 aside. You was good. Roger that. See, but that's what G Herbo is talking about. I respect that. That I respect to the fullest. 10-4. Thank you, brother. You're welcome. You guys have a good day. Yes, sir. Alright. That's the only way that's going to work as a man to be a stay-at-home dad, bro. But if you got money
Starting point is 00:45:45 and you done set things aside and now you're devoting your life to your wife and your kids, which I think we all really want, right? That's what we would want. I can't see it working the other way. I think everybody's situation is different. Some people are okay with that. I don't know. Whatever works for your relationship
Starting point is 00:46:02 because what if you marry somebody, a woman who's super rich? Like, what if she inherited a whole lot of money? Or what if she's... What if you married to Oprah Winfrey, right? Yeah, Oprah. Would you be a stay-at-home husband? Stedman ain't no damn stay-at-home husband.
Starting point is 00:46:14 I asked you about Stedman. I said, would you? If she wanted me to. You know what I mean? Because that's what it boils down to, if she wants you to. Because you might sit in the house and she might get tired of you. Like, why are you always just sitting around but you're not watching the kids i'm cleaning the house go find something to do i don't believe a woman can respect you but so much
Starting point is 00:46:33 if you're just at home all the time why not i don't know bro taking care of the house and the babies i don't know not if she's paying all the bills you'll go do something this is our house i just think it's an individual thing i I mean, I dated a guy who wanted me to quit my job and just stay at home and handle things, and I just didn't want to do that. When Ebony was up here the other day, Ebony said, if I got to pay the bills, then I might as well be
Starting point is 00:46:56 living with Angela Yee. That's what she said. I think a lot of women feel that way. Alright, 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. It's the breakfast. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the breakfast club. So we're asking, ladies, would you mind if your husband was a stay-at-home husband? Now, this comes from G Herbo's conversation.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Let's play a snippet of his interview. I ain't going to lie. I'm going to get married soon, man. I got to get married. She's the one. The only thing that's really been holding me back, man, is I'm not gonna blame it on my career or nothing like that. Like, I wanna be, I don't wanna be that husband or that guy that just look up and I let 10 years
Starting point is 00:47:33 go by my life because I'm chasing my dreams and I'm chasing something and I'm neglecting my family and what's at home right now, you know? Like, I really wanna be a stay-at-home dad. I really wanna be at the crib, like, learning how to cook and all that type of stuff. So we're asking 800-585-1051. Would you mind if your husband was a stay-at-home dad or husband?
Starting point is 00:47:53 Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is Sandra. Hi, sir. Hey, good morning. Hi. I stayed home for about eight years with my daughter. I would love for my husband to experience what that's like.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Honey, your phone is breaking up. If you could just pick it up. I heard what she said, though. She said that she stayed at home for eight years with her daughter and she would love for her husband to experience what that is like. So you could...
Starting point is 00:48:16 No day off, no vacations, no sick days, no personal days, 24 hours a day. Always on call. So you would pay all the bills while he stays at home?
Starting point is 00:48:25 Yes, I would. Okay. Because you want him to feel that because you don't ever want him to take that for granted because it sounds to me like he might be taking that for granted. He took you for granted
Starting point is 00:48:34 during that time. And at the same time, I want him to keep his figure, looking good, smelling good, and just be there when I say it. He takes you for granted.
Starting point is 00:48:45 I see you upset about that one. Thank you, mama. Yeah, because I still work out five days a week. That's right. So you want him to work out. You want him to smell good. You want to make sure he's lined up, being shaped. She's right, though.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Take care of the babies, wash the clothes. He has to cook. He has to cook, clean, make me breakfast. Exactly. And lunch to take to work. And all of that. And if I roll him over at 4 o'clock in the morning, he got to be ready. And if he gets to that point where he lets himself go and his stomach gets so big that he looks down and can't see his penis,
Starting point is 00:49:18 you get to get you a nice little young tender. That's right. And he better not say nothing. That's right. And he better not say nothing. That's right. And he better forgive you when you do it, too. Goodbye. She's right. That's the reality of the situation, my brother.
Starting point is 00:49:37 What's that? Exactly what she said. If you're not willing to put in the same type of work and demand the same things from yourself that you would want from your woman in that situation, bruh you ain't built for that hello who's this cc hey good morning now we're asking uh would you want to stay at home husband i would not mind a stay-at-home husband because i feel like as long as it's balanced it shouldn't matter as long as he's doing a part or some part then that's fine if i'm the breadwinner and he's more of the domesticated one i'm cool with that he doing the domestic part i'm taking care of that work it's like a trade-off so so you don't you don't mind paying all the bills
Starting point is 00:50:20 no i wouldn't okay you know how hard it is? Like, I'm a single mother, and I have a career. It's hard being a single mother, and it's hard having a career. Doing both of those together is super hard. But if I had somebody to take the stress off of some of the single mother
Starting point is 00:50:37 things that I've done and just cater to my kids, then I would be fine with that, and then I could focus on my career. I love that. Somebody you could trust that you know is dedicated to you and your child. Sounds amazing. Alright, well what's the moral of the story, guys?
Starting point is 00:50:52 The moral of the story is this only works if you do it the way G Herbo was saying do it. Or like the brother from the military who called did it. You know what I mean? You got to have some money set aside because somebody got to pay the bills. Alright. Well, a lot of women are holding it down in households and paying You got to have some money set aside because somebody got to pay the bills. All right. Well, a lot of women are holding it down in households and paying the bills, though.
Starting point is 00:51:10 You know, I do feel like that. So I feel like whatever works for you. Nobody could tell you it only works this way. Whatever works for you. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes. And since we're talking about relationships and dating, let's talk about Simone Biles. She discusses how she got in with her man.

There's no shame in being a stay-at-home dad. I want to say that. There's no shame in that at all. Some people, if their relationship works that way, I think that's amazing. But if you're staying at home the way I was staying at home,
Starting point is 00:55:16 you don't want to stay at home in that way forever. Well, you wasn't cooking or cleaning or nothing. But I was watching my newborn. My newborn was like five or six months old. You know what I mean? But that wasn't what I wanted to do with my life. My newborn was like five or six months old. You know what I mean? But you know, that wasn't what I wanted to do with my life. I needed to get,
Starting point is 00:55:28 get out, get up, get out and get something, you know, that's all. And women feel the same way though. You know, I think it's just sometimes like these traditional roles that used to be in
Starting point is 00:55:39 place when women didn't work. I feel like people still feel like that should be in place and it could be either person's responsibility and let's be clear you know let's be clear men and women we neither one of us really want to work the goal is to get you know acquire as much as possible so everybody can just relax that's what i would like to do i'm not gonna lie though one of my really good friends i was actually i'm her child's godmother. She when she first had her first baby and we were kind of young then it was we just graduated from college.
Starting point is 00:56:14 She hated being a stay at home mom. She actually wanted to go back to work. She was like, I need to get back to other adults. I just want to get out of the house. I don't want to be confined at home all day with the baby. And she couldn't wait to get back to work. She felt bad about it, but that's just how she felt. Everybody's different. Yeah, I mean, honestly, I would really like to be doing spiritual stuff all day. I want to be that guy. I want to be the person that's meditating all day long,
Starting point is 00:56:38 being up in the mountains, growing a long gray beard, that type of stuff. But I'm not there yet. Yeah, I can't wait to ride on the boardwalk with no shirt on and drive and just chill. Why you look at me like that, man? I hate the way you look at me. What? You said that a little too slow, King.

Starting point is 00:57:51 it well let's get to the rumors let's talk tyler perry she's spilling the tea this is the rumor report with ang Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, social media has been going crazy about Tyler Perry because of the writing on the latest episode of Sisters. Now, in this particular episode, the actor, the character, Calvin Rodney, who's played by Anthony Dalton, talks about why he wants to leave his girlfriend, Sabrina Hollins, who's played by Novi Brown. And he said that she could not handle his more feminine side. Listen to this. Let's just end this. No, please.
Starting point is 00:58:32 No, let's end this. Please, please. I'm just too much for you. Me, my two dads. Me being in touch with my feminine side. My lace underwear. Hell, even me liking my prostate prostate tickle let's discuss what don't act like you never heard that i sent it to the group chat last night let's let's discuss
Starting point is 00:58:50 he said i sent it to the group chat you don't act like you didn't get that video i sent it to you last night let's discuss who would like to go first what's the issue here well i saw what a lot of people were saying on social media first of of all, some people were saying that this is about himself. And somebody said Tyler Perry needs to stop using creative writing to cope and see a therapist. And I just saw what everybody was saying about this scene in particular. Somebody said this thread got me realizing that all them Tyler Perry movies are actually about himself. So that's whack. Why other writers in Hollywood don't get that then
Starting point is 00:59:25 like so everything that everything that other writers write in hollywood is about them like why did why why why are you doing that was that seemed realistic to you yes okay okay all right and i'm gonna tell you something i'm gonna tell you something else um i think that when you change the way you look at things the the things you look at change. If you view this as a comedy, which I believe it is, you will die laughing and be thoroughly entertained. I don't think that scene was supposed to be comedic. Well, I laughed a lot, okay? Do you know how much that clip has been passed around this week?
Starting point is 00:59:58 Duvall sent it to me two days ago. Why did you laugh? Was somebody tickling you? I sent it out in the group chat yesterday, and I laughed and I laughed hard. Okay. Cause there's a scene in that show when the dude got punched and he spun around three, four times after he got punched.
Starting point is 01:00:14 And then when, and then when homie said my lace underwear and the fact I got my prostate tickled, who writing like that in 2021, those are bars. Okay. Yes. He said my two dads, two dads, I like lace underwear and I like my prostate tickled. Guess what? Nobody says I like my prostate tickled.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Guess what? Memorable, entertaining bars. I never even heard those words in the same sentence together. Prostate and tickled, okay? That doesn't sound realistic if you've never even heard those words together before. This sounds like some amazing writing to me. Okay?
Starting point is 01:00:46 What have you written this week that's gone viral? I was highly entertained by that scene. Play it again, Chris. Oh, my gosh. He's pulling it back up. There we go. Let's just end this. No, please.
Starting point is 01:00:58 No, let's end this. I'm just too much for you. Me, my two dads. Me being in touch with my feminine style. My lace underwear. Hell, even me liking my prostate tickle. Come on, man. Who writing like that? Drop one of Clues Bond for Tyler Perry, damn it.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Okay? I've never heard that before. That's good writing. Okay? When you're writing things you haven't heard before and it's highly entertaining. Okay? I think Sisters is one of the best comedies on TV. You've never even watched it. So what? I might start now. All right. Now, Simone Biles is talking about how she and her boyfriend started romancing and her boyfriend, Jonathan Owens. They first got together at the beginning of the pandemic. Her boyfriend is NFL player. Like I said, Jonathan Owens. And she said in a new interview with Wall Street Journal
Starting point is 01:01:48 Magazine, she said, he would say I slid into his DMs. I saw him and I was like, oh, he's pretty cute. So I said, hi. And then I saw that he was in the Houston area. So we started chatting a little bit and then we went to hang out a week or two later. So she said they were flirting and FaceTiming for a few weeks. And that's when her sister grabbed the phone during a conversation and asked him to join a trip to a lake house. He bought his English bulldog named Zeus and she bought her French bulldog as well. So before long, you know, he started joining the family's Sunday dinners. There you go. Those DMs, you slide into those DMs, you meet up in person, you meet the families. Next thing you know, you guys are dating.
Starting point is 01:02:26 Super cute start to our relationship. Now, Megan Fox was explaining why she decided to make a pros and cons list before she started dating Machine Gun Kelly. She told herself this will never work for 101 reasons. And she was talking to who, what, where. She said, when I met him, I knew instantly that this is a soul I've traveled with before, that this was a soulmate connection and that there was a purpose here. She said then her logical brain chimed in and was like, this will never work. And then she said she went ahead and did that pros and cons list. And in the end, her heart did win out. So those are the beginnings of some relationships. You know,
Starting point is 01:03:03 sometimes you can talk yourself out of something. Oh, this isn't a good idea. I can't do this. And then if it's meant to be, I guess it's meant to be. Why you decided to start doing the show from the bathroom? Like what happened? Definitely. That's what I said before.
Starting point is 01:03:15 It sounded like you had going. Why? I don't know. I'm not doing anything differently. Okay. Isn't that sounding good? Nope. Sounds like you're doing a deuce.
Starting point is 01:03:25 Huh. All right. And Richard Sherman was released from jail without bail. If y'all recall, there was a 911 call that his wife had made as he was trying to get into the house. Here's what happened in that 911 call. I need officers here now. He's being aggressive. He's trying to leave now in the house.
Starting point is 01:03:44 He's being aggressive. He's wrestling with my uncle. He's threatening to kill himself. He has sent text messages to people saying he's going to hang himself. And he's saying that if the police show up, so please don't shoot is what I'm asking. Say that again? He has no weapons. He says if the police show up, what? He said if the police show up, that he'll try to fight them. He does not have any weapons or access to weapons? No.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Okay. And how much has he had to drink tonight? Two bottles. Two bottles of what? A vodka and Hennessy. Someone killed bro like. Mm-mm. What happened? You back from door close? Yeah. I think we lost her. All right.
Starting point is 01:04:20 Well, that is your rumor report. I don't even know what the story was because we played, huh? The rules indicate that I have to, on the first offense, for anything, resumption is released with conditions. The state is asking for bail of $10,000. I see Mr. Sherman as a pillar in this community. He's a business owner.
Starting point is 01:04:41 He's a husband. He's a father. I'm going to release Mr. Sherman on his own promise to return to court. Yeah, he's not going anywhere. They should have released him on his own. I still can't get over the fact that, you know, his wife called 911 and said, please don't kill him. Please don't kill him. You know what I mean? You're calling
Starting point is 01:04:57 for an emergency that's happening in your life, but you still have to remind the police he has no weapons not to kill him. Do not kill him. If y'all don't understand how complex it is to be a black person in America, well, you don't understand unless you're a black person in America. My goodness.
Starting point is 01:05:13 All right. All right. Well, that's your rumor report. We lost she. I don't know if she has to flush, if she has to wipe, or I don't know what's going on with you. She might have flushed herself down the toilet. That might have happened.
Starting point is 01:05:22 Mm-hmm. All right. Now, donkey of the day. Who you giving your donkey Mm-hmm. All right. Now, donkey today. Who are you giving your donkey to? You know, four after the hour, I need the Eagle's Nest. It's a bar in Wyoming. I need them to come to the front of the congregation. They have a problem with men getting their prostate tickled,
Starting point is 01:05:35 and we're going to discuss. All right. I'm intrigued. Let's talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Hey, it's Angela Yee. Don't let weak hair hold you back. Carol's Daughters Goddess Strength Collection supports hair as it gets longer for hair that's 15 times stronger after one use. Available at carolsdaughter.com and your local retailer. You don't get a date with your dumb ass. You don't get a date with your dumb ass. We'll be right back. these gloves. Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. It's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the
Starting point is 01:06:28 day today? Well, donkey of the day for Friday, July 16th goes to a bar in Wyoming called The Eagle's Nest owned by a Raymond Berezuk. I think he pronounced his last name Berezuk. Let me tell you something, man. We in an era of reveal. The age of transparency
Starting point is 01:06:44 is all around us sides have been chosen lines have been drawn and people are who they are proudly are who they are okay if you have not gotten to the point of being comfortable with who and what you are i would simply ask you what are you waiting for okay please come join the party live your truth so nobody can use your truth against you even though they absolutely will okay on social media but you will be fine because the truth doesn't hurt unless it ought to all right and the truth about the eagles nest in wyoming is that they're homophobic and that's the truth that should hurt them probably won't because the people who attend this establishment probably are
Starting point is 01:07:18 extremely homophobic too now remember i said we are in the age of transparency we are in the age of reveal the universe is forcing everyone to be their true selves, be who they are. Some of us are doing the work on ourselves, practicing various forms of mindfulness exercises, going to therapy, meditating, submitting to our higher nature to be the best versions of ourselves. Matter of fact, for those folks like me on that journey, let's repeat this mantra from my sister, Debbie Brown. I actually posted this on my Instagram this morning. Repeat after me. I love who I've been. I love who I am. I love who I am becoming. Okay. That was for those of us doing the work, trying to be the best versions of ourselves. That wasn't for Raymond Barazuk in the Eagle's Nest in Wyoming, because they are being true to who they are, but they aren't being the best versions of themselves. And they shouldn't
Starting point is 01:08:04 love who they are in this current moment. Okay. I version of themselves. And they shouldn't love who they are in this current moment. Okay. I know we tell people not to be hard on themselves, but that don't mean we can't be hard on them. All right. And the Eagles, Nesson, Wyoming needs someone to be hard on them because those hurt individuals over there are hurting other people. See, they are selling shirts and these shirts are them being honest about how they feel. And I guess it's good when people are openly bigoted because then you know where not to go and who not to support in the eagle's nest in wyoming is making it quite plain where they stand let's go to the hill for the report please
Starting point is 01:08:35 a wyoming motorcycle bar has reportedly decided to stop the sale of a shirt it carried that bragged about shooting members of the lgbt community and included use of a homophobic slur, according to the Cowboy State Daily. A photo of the shirt sold at the Eagle's Nest, located in Cheyenne, Wyoming, went viral on social media over the weekend. The shirt featured an image of a man pointing a gun along with the words, quote, in Wyoming, we have a cure for AIDS. We shoot effing f words what i think i think the question should be why okay i understand the what but why
Starting point is 01:09:14 why it's so much we all have to do in our lives it's all so much healing we need as individuals i got too many things i have to forgive myself for and too many things I want God to forgive me for to be concerned about what anyone else is doing, especially to this extreme. I'm going to encourage folks to shoot people via apparel because of who they are sexually attracted to. Not so fun fact. In fact, it's not even not so it's nothing fun or remotely fun about this fact the eagle's nest in wyoming is an hour from where a gay college student named matthew shepherd died after being brutally beaten in 1998 rest in peace to that brother sending healing energy to his family always 1998 there was this level of homophobia in this area. And it's now 2021. And the same energy that got Matthew Shepard killed is now on a devil damn T-shirt being sold in the eagle's nest in Wyoming.
Starting point is 01:10:21 Hey, this is America, the land of free speech. I keep telling you, that's one of the biggest American lies ever told. Speech ain't free, bro. I mean, you may have the freedom to say what you want to say, but there will be a price to it at some point. Sometimes you pay that price. Sometimes somebody else pays the price because of your so-called free speech. Let me explain. Eagles and us have these T-shirts where they are encouraging folks to shoot gay people. If someone sees that shirt and is encouraged to go out and shoot a gay person, guess what? The person who gets shot pays the price for your so-called free speech. And hopefully the person who does the shooting goes to prison. That person, too, has paid the price for your free speech. Freedom of speech is not free.
Starting point is 01:10:54 There is a cost to everything that comes out of your mouth. And someone will pay the price. And in this situation, why? Why? Why? I really don't understand this level of hate okay you don't agree with the lifestyle fine but to want to see someone shot because of who they want to sleep with like i i don't understand homophobia i really i don't i don't understand homophobia the same way i don't
Starting point is 01:11:21 understand any other forms of prejudice you want to kill someone because of who they choose to sleep with you are selling t-shirts encouraging folks to shoot people just because of their sexuality who a person sleep sleeps with doesn't make you ejaculate so why do you care we really have to start asking homophobic people what's the real issue why do you care about where that man is putting his penis why are you constantly thinking about where that man is putting his penis why are you constantly speculating about where that man is putting his penis? Why are you constantly thinking about where that man is putting his penis? Why are you constantly speculating about where that man is putting his penis? Why do you care if someone got two daddies? Why do you care if a man is in touch with their feminine side? Why do you care if a man wears lace underwear?
Starting point is 01:11:57 Why do you care if a man likes his prostate tickled? Listen, all you homophobic people, you know what's gay? Caring that someone else is gay. Okay, I got a theory that homophobic men think about men having sex with other men more than gay men think about having sex with other men. Why do I think that? Because I damn sure hear homophobic men talk about who other men may be sleeping with more than I hear gay men talk about who they sleeping with.
Starting point is 01:12:22 The eagles nest in Wyoming. You should be embarrassed. Okay, please let Remy Ma give the owner, Raymond Barazuk, the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother******, are you dumb? It's never this serious. My goodness. It's just simply not.
Starting point is 01:12:37 All right. All right, well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, a legend, an icon, a queen will be joining us. Come on now. Miss Patti LaBelle. Come on now. This bae right here now. This old bae like the seasoning. Alright. Dropping the clues bond for Queen Patti LaBelle. Why you stand up? Huh? Why you stand up? Because I love Miss Patti.
Starting point is 01:12:55 I just love talking to Miss Patti. I love it. Love it. Why you standing up? She's not here. She's on Zoom. Oh, I still feel like a zaddy. I thought somebody said zaddy. No, nobody said zaddy. I heard it in my mind. No, not at all. All right. Patti LaBelle, when we come back, so don't move.
Starting point is 01:13:08 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy and Jelani. Jelani Nagao.
Starting point is 01:13:22 We are The Breakfast Club. And we have a special guest in the building. That's right. The icon, the legend, the queen, Patty LaBelle. Welcome. Good morning, everybody. You know what, Ms. Patty? Even when Envy calls you a legend and an icon and a queen,
Starting point is 01:13:38 all that still feels like an understatement. I wish we had stronger words. More. How are you? Thank you for the words. I'm wonderful, thank you. More. How are you? Thank you for the words. I'm wonderful, thank you. I'm really good. And you look amazing, by the way.
Starting point is 01:13:51 Your hair looks great. I love your outfit. Thank you. Even doing these Zooms, you got it together all the time. That is right. Oh, I appreciate that. Thank you so much. Are you out?
Starting point is 01:14:03 Are you out? You know, pandemic is slowing down a little bit. Are you back to doing what Patty does? Are you back to doing shows? I know you're still cooking, but are you out and about? September 11th is my first show in Vegas. So I'm going to be out after that for good for a long time. Yes. Do you miss it? I miss it like crazy. Yes. It's been over 17 months. It'll be 17 months since I've been on stage with a microphone and an audience.
Starting point is 01:14:29 And I just can't wait. I might stay on stage three hours. So what do you do? Do you walk around with a hairbrush around the house, just singing in the living room, singing in the bathroom just to practice? Oh, I have a real microphone here and I have my phone. And I've been practicing walking in heels again, you know, like five and six inch heels because you've been doing flats for 17 months. So I've been practicing pretending I had on a costume and get in front of the mirror with my mic. And yeah, yeah. So I've been doing it. I've been practicing. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:15:01 Listen, we can relate with the heels thing. I got a Charlie horse the other day because I'm not used to walking in heels anymore. And I came home and I took my heels off. I was like, my calves hurt because I'm not used to it. Girl, everything, your knees. I had a rub down last night on my knees because I had pumps on.
Starting point is 01:15:18 Girl, they don't feel like they used to feel, but I'm going to keep on wearing them. Who you got rubbing you down now? It was my hairdresser, my friend, Shakia, who does my hair. Okay. She's after I finished. She said, Miss Patty, your knees are hurting. I said, girl, let me rub you down.
Starting point is 01:15:35 So we got some Bengay. Why does Charlamagne sound like a jealous boyfriend? He did at first. What did you mean, Charlamagne sound like a jealous boyfriend? He did at first. He did. What did you mean, Charlamagne? I'm just making sure. Just trying to see who's who. That's all.
Starting point is 01:15:54 Oh, I have nice people around me. They take care of Patty Zills. Yes, dear. And you didn't miss a step because we saw you when you was doing the verses. You was out there getting it. You was doing the burn. Yep. You did the burn. You was out there getting it. You was doing the bird. Yep.
Starting point is 01:16:05 You did the bird. The chair dance. Yeah, I love dancing. You know, so I was dancing in the chair. Yeah, I kicked my shoes off on verses. Me and Gladys had a concert. That was like we were both missing stage shows. So we both acted as if that was our concert.
Starting point is 01:16:21 Yes. I wanted to ask you about verses, Miss LaBBelle because I wanted to know how did they approach you and how did they sell you on it? Oh, it was an easy sell. I had seen DMX and Snoop. I said, I wish I could do that show. And then about two weeks after that, we got the call.
Starting point is 01:16:36 That was a quick yes. I was so happy to have been asked to do it. Yeah. So it wasn't no competition thing. It was just a celebration between you and Gladys. People would say a battle.
Starting point is 01:16:46 How can you battle with your sister? I mean, we're the same. I'm a little older than her. But we've been through so many things together. The death of her mother, the death of my sisters, the birth of Zori, the birth of her son. And we're girls. And we have enough for each other, you know, to not fight each other. We have enough love for each other.
Starting point is 01:17:07 No competition because she's a singing pool. So whenever it hurts, I was background singing. And when I was singing myself, she was singing background. So we were not in competition. But who can cook better? Who can cook better? Well, we're going to have a cook off. But she makes a mean banana pudding.
Starting point is 01:17:23 I know that. So we plan because we both cook like crazy. You know, I've been cooking on the road, cooking at home, cooking anywhere I go. And Gladys has been doing the same. So we're going to have a cook-off. Did you go to the grocery shopping? I better. I have to smell my food.
Starting point is 01:17:38 You know, people can't smell like I can. And so when I go, I get in trouble with my assistant because he said, you just stuck your finger in that chicken pack. I said, yes, because if it's wrong, I don't want it. And I want the managers to take it off the shelf so nobody else will buy it. You know, so I've been smelling food. I stick my fingernails in corn, see if it's sweet or if it's tough or whatever. And if it's not good, you know, that's disgusting. I don't care if it's your finger or not. You can't be just sticking your finger. I don't care. But I stick my finger and I usually find it, honey. Right. I read in your book, you gave a little mini concert in your cookbook. You were talking about that in the grocery aisle while you were out there trying to get your groceries.
Starting point is 01:18:19 Yeah, because when people come up to me, they said, Miss LaBelle, that's not you, is it? I said, yes, it's me, honey. The book we're talking about is the 20th anniversary of LaBelle Cuisine. Recipes to sing about. Recipes to sing about. Sing about. Did you update any of the recipes since the original release of the book? I added three recipes to the book, a bangin' fish, a good life chicken, and another one, lobster and shrimp cakes, and pictures of my grandbabies, because when I did it 20 years ago, they weren't here. So now the little one, Layla, she's trying to cook with grandma. So I have her picture and
Starting point is 01:18:58 Gia's picture on the book. And they're all like great recipes still from 20 years ago. You know, I go to the airport and people stop me and say, I made your macaroni for Thanksgiving. And people loved it. So with this book, follow the measurements, follow the rules. And you've got a great dinner, a great meal for real. Miss Patty, I know it was hard for you to give up these recipes when you first did it. Is there anything that you've ever held back? Like, OK, this is the secret
Starting point is 01:19:25 secret secret no one's ever gonna get nobody's ever not gotten the full recipe from me because i believe in giving you every ounce of whatever i put in it i can't hide it from you i don't want to hide it because i just want to see if it comes out as good as mine does it though does it come out as good as yours because i feel like you stick your finger in the food that you make too and that probably gives it a different taste that other people can't get no I don't put my finger in my food that I cook I put a spoon and I make taste I do that yeah and I make sure it's good for everybody so you taste the spoon and then put then start a spoon with the same do that okay okay no that's double dipping and stuff like that I don you go. You don't do that.
Starting point is 01:20:07 Put it on the side, my spoon. And if I have to taste again, I get another clean spoon, boo. That's the way I do. Now, people don't follow the directions for the recipes, right? Things can go left. And you had an incident with Oprah where that actually happened to you. What went wrong? It wasn't me.
Starting point is 01:20:25 It was the gentleman who prepared the potatoes I was making potato salad and he cooked them for like three minutes so when we started and everything was finished I tasted I said oh oh the potatoes are hard like they weren't soft at all and so we had to pretend it was good and then we dropped just pick it up we don't have to eat it but it's TV people don't know just pick it up. We don't have to eat it, but it's TV. People don't know. Just pick it up. Yeah, we had some moments, but they were great moments. Fun.
Starting point is 01:20:50 Let me ask you a question, Queen Labelle. What do you think does more, like what does more for the soul? Like what brings you the most joy? Is it food or music? Music. Music is my life. Cooking is second. And my pleasure in cooking is if I serve you and if you want seconds or if you want to take some home, that's great for my ego.
Starting point is 01:21:12 And if you don't eat seconds or take it home, you can't come back to my house. Wow. So you have to see whether or not you're taking it home. Yeah. And that brings music to my soul when you love the food. But music is my life. Okay. All right, we have more with Ms. Patti LaBelle
Starting point is 01:21:25 when we come back. Don't move, 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're still kicking it with Ms. Patti LaBelle. What do you think is missing, if anything,
Starting point is 01:21:36 in R&B music now? Well, I hear a lot of great, like Smokey and Charlie Wilson doing their new song or whatever um oh god johnny gill and ralph i mean there's some r b singers still singing it well doing it well um what's that girl i love leila james um there's a lot still happening to me with R&B great music. Yes, and there's her, that little girl named Her. Yeah, we love her. Yeah, we love her. Yeah, so there's a lot of great stuff to me still out there.

Starting point is 01:22:42 year with hotels yes it's a great album. She can sing. You know, and she's been unsung for a minute, I believe. Because she's always been phenomenal to me. If you had to name a queen or godmother of soul R&B right now, could you pick one? No. A godmother of soul? No.
Starting point is 01:23:04 Is that bad? No, I don't think so. It's also off the cuff. Gladys is a godmother, you know. She's my peer. She's a godmother of great mother of everything music. But I can't say what you asked that question. I don't know. Well, let's just keep it the queen.
Starting point is 01:23:19 Can you pick a queen right now? New generation. R&B? Yeah, new generation. New girls? Yes. Gosh, they're would be a can you pick a queen right now new generation yeah new generation new girls yes gosh you're at home i ain't gonna get in trouble no yeah don't do that to her i can't say one and not the other but no and i love them all there's a new generation huh new generation reach out to you to do music at all or do you think they are they scared because i mean you're you're you're scary because you sing so well and you never want nobody to blow you away but do they reach out to you to do songs a lot of the young girls yes uh let us see uh jennifer hudson oh gosh all my children um fantasia yes all of those little babies they're like my daughters

Starting point is 01:24:22 like on any of those channels no not at all. I don't watch any. No. Should I? I wonder, should I? No, I don't. I'm just wondering.

Yeah, that guy, he does that. He does it well. But I never like sit down and say I'm gonna watch some cooking shows you know they happen to be on I'm gonna watch but I don't go

What's happening for you this year for Thanksgiving? You know, I know everybody's still a little nervous about having people over. And I know you love having people over. So what are you planning? Well, last year it was planned a few people, family members that I had been around, you know, for most of the time before, after the pandemic, close family,
Starting point is 01:25:26 friends in my kitchen, everybody's in the kitchen and everybody's singing and dancing and going and going in the other parts of the house because it's a house big enough for everybody to move, you know, six feet away or whatever. So we did the careful, careful Thanksgiving last year. This year is going to be a little more open. It's going to be more fun. Yes. I saw Gil King said nobody can come over her. She's not doing a Thanksgiving trip with anybody who's not vaccinated.
Starting point is 01:25:54 Does that matter to you at all? It matters all the time since the pandemic. You have to be safe because, you know, I have issues. I'm a diabetic. So I can't take chances being around people who are not safe. So everybody that I've been around have been checked or they've been checked. Okay. That's good. Yeah. Well, Ms. LaBelle, I'm going to be honest with you.
