Man, it's almost here. Rough night last night, bro. Lord have mercy. I mean, I don't know how it was in the rest of the country, but, you know, if you live in New Jersey, I don't even know how it was in New York yet. I thought you were talking about you was kinky last night. Shut up, man.

Get your mind out the gutter. It's 6 o'clock in the morning. All we kept seeing last night was tornado warnings. Y'all didn't keep getting that on your phone last night? I didn't get any. Oh, my God. I got a million of them. And, you know, they're so disrespectful because they tell you to go down in the basement.

Do y'all even consider that everybody don't have a goddamn basement when they say stuff like that? The funny thing is I didn't even really read the message. Oh, I kept reading it because I kept jumping up. It was literally in the middle of the night, like 2, 3 in the morning. I was like, what the hell? Yeah, and I got it once. Oh, my God. Tornado warning. I got it three times because first it said

three something which I was happy about I was like oh it's only two I'm getting some good sleep I'm taking my ass back to bed then another one said four something then we got to be up by then

then it said 5.15 so I was like should I even go to work is it really going down I was like nah it wasn't bad here I got it I think twice last night

it scared the hell out of everybody then you're listening because you know they always say tornadoes sound like the train coming. So I was listening. I kept hearing stuff outside like,

that don't sound like the train coming. It's like, maybe we good. Last night was rough. Yeah, it was a rough night. Also, I moved my daughter into her apartment yesterday

in the city, which was, I didn't go front. When I moved in, when I went to college, I had to put everything together. But now there's an app, well, I don't even know what the name of the, when I went to college, you know, I had to put everything together. But now there's a app, well,

I don't even know what the name of the app is. Task Finder or- Task Rabbit. There you go. Task Rabbit. That sounds wild. Task Rabbit. It's been around for a long time.

I didn't know I- Get rid of that T, boy. That's just problematic app. Task Rabbit. Now, I never, I usually put everything together myself, but he,

dude came to the apartment, he put everything together, everything was right. What? Oh, I forgot we were talking about TaskRabbit. I just heard you say dude came over. So you just found out about TaskRabbit? Nah, I put everything together myself usually at the crib.

I never heard about it. Me and my son, we put it together ourselves. First time I've ever even heard of it. Yeah, I don't use Postmates, you don't use TaskRabbit. I thought Postmates was for food. It's anything that you need delivered. So if you were like, oh, somebody go pick upRabbit. I thought Postmates was for food. Well, it's anything that you need delivered. So if you were like, oh, somebody go pick up this for me. I thought that was Amazon. Yeah, I use Amazon or Uber Eats, honestly.

I didn't know what TaskRabbit was, but you pay on TaskRabbit. They come, they put whatever they got to put together. These are people that do this for a living. And they make a lot of money. They make like $50, $60 an hour. But they can do anything for you on TaskRabbit. It's like they can help you move. They can like $50, $60 an hour. But they can do anything for you on Task Grab. It's like, they can help you move. They can do

handyman things. They can run errands for you. You would know because you hired them to do things at the crib. I do things at the crib or my son does things at the crib. I actually have never hired them, but I just know about it because it's, you know. Well, sleuths are all the Task Grabbers out there. They make a lot of money. $50, $60 an hour.

You are appreciated. Putting things together, which is pretty dope, I thought. But yeah, so that's what I did yesterday. We were helping him get those things together, and she's moved into her apartment. School starts for her, I think, next week. So back to college. I went out last night, too. I mean, that was the first time I had been out.

You went out? A year and some changing. I'll tell you one thing, man. Where the hell did you go? I went to go see Ali Wong at the Beacon Theater, dropping the clothes bombs for Ali Wong at the Beacon Theater dropping the clues bombs for Ali Wong

but um yeah my social anxiety is to the roof I'm not I don't want to be around people I really don't I keep

if you thought I couldn't do large crowds before I definitely can't do large crowds I was sitting there before the show even started

telling my wife I want to go home I want to go home I want to go home I mean I'm glad I stayed because you know Ali Wong was incredible but I was like I want to go home as soon as it was over you bounced I want to go home. I want to go home. I mean, I'm glad I stayed because, you know, Ali Wong was incredible, but I was like, I want to go home.

As soon as it was over, you bounced. I went to go say something to Ali and then I was out. Yeah, I was out immediately. Let's get the show cracking. Front page news. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about what's happening in Afghanistan now. Joe Biden is suggesting that he's willing to keep U.S. forces there.

Oh, God. A little bit past that deadline. Possibly. Possibly. Maybe. All right. We'll get into it next when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. forces there. Oh, God. A little bit past that deadline. Possibly. Possibly. Maybe. All right. We'll get into it next when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with Joe Biden. He did an exclusive interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos,

and one of the things he talked about was the Taliban taking over Afghanistan, and could he have predicted that this was going to happen the way that it did? And he also said he had no idea that they would try to keep people from getting out. Here's what he said. Back in July, you said a Taliban takeover was highly unlikely. Was the intelligence wrong, or did you downplay it? There was no consensus. You go back and look at the intelligence reports. They said that it was more likely to be sometime by the end of the year.

You didn't put a timeline out when you said it was highly unlikely. You just said flat out, it's highly unlikely the Taliban would take over. Yeah. The idea that the Taliban would take over was premised on the notion that somehow the 300,000 troops we had trained and equipped was going to just collapse. They were going to give up. I don't think anybody anticipated that. They spent $2 trillion over 20 years to train 300,000 troops and equip, you know, 300,000 troops and Afghan soldiers, and they fell in a week. Somebody lying. I want a refund on that $2 trillion. Yeah, I was reading about that. They were saying that at different

points that it was usually not the full army and that there was a high turnover rate. So it was difficult and it was trumped up numbers on their end. I don't know what's going on with that. But in addition, Joe Biden talked about was there a way to withdraw without the chaos that ensued? Because a lot of people were saying that people wanted to end the war in Afghanistan but they wanted to make sure they did it as safely as possible and here's what he had to say what did you think when you first saw those pictures we have to move this more quickly we have to move in a way in which we can take control of that airport and we did so you don't think this could have been handled this actually could have been handled better in any way no mistakes no I I don't think it could have been handled in a way that we're going to go back in hindsight and look.

But the idea that somehow there's a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don't know how that happens. So for you, that was always priced into the decision? Yes. I'm so confused. He just said that, you know, a Taliban takeover was highly unlikely. So how could he say that he knew that chaos would ensue? But he's the one who said a Taliban takeover was highly unlikely. Now, in addition, they are still trying to evacuate people from Afghanistan.

There's been a lot of issues. They said so far they have successfully evacuated 3,200 people, and they're hoping to be able to evacuate 9,000 people each day and perhaps even stay longer than that August 31st deadline. Here's what he said about that. We're going to do everything in our power to get all Americans out and our allies out. Does that mean troops will stay beyond August 31st if necessary? It depends on where we are and whether we can get ramped these numbers up to 5 to seven thousand a day coming out if that's the case they'll be they'll all be out because we've got like 10 to 15 000 americans in the country right now right and are you committed to making sure that the troops stay

until every american who wants to be out yes out how about our afghan allies the commitment holds to get everyone out that in fact we can get out and everyone should come out. Hey, man, I'm not the president of the United States of America, clearly, but in life it's always important to measure twice so you only got to cut once. And I wonder how, you know, America has 20 years to prepare for something like this and this happens. All right, well, that is your front page news. All right. Get it off your chest.

The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

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

I forgive myself. It's okay. 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 on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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? Yo, Big Chocolate, the toe sucker. It's toe time.

How's everybody? You can't say that. That's not going to ever work. It's toe time. It's toe time at the Apollo. Will you please shut up for a minute? Half a brain, shall we? Let me talk.

All right, so listen. Half a brain, shall we? Shout out to the Shrine Nightclub, Foxwood Casino. I had a good time last week. I had a good time. Nick Cannon, good luck with your new talk show next month. And to my pals, Skinny Legs, Hazelnut Looking Negro, Envy, I demand an apology right now for not bringing me to your last car show.

And let me check out the ladies' toes. I want an apology right now for not bringing me to your last car show and let me check out the ladies' toes. I want an apology right now. Well, it's a family fun experience and I do think that you trying to lick women's toes in there is a little disrespectful to the kids there. Yeah, it's called sexual harassment, sir, and sexual assault. We could have put up a tent or something, brother, you know what I mean? So we actually have your picture at the front of

every door to make sure that you're not allowed in. He just said he wanted to come to your car show, look at women's toes, and pitch a tent. You agree with me, right, Angie? You should have let me in, right, sister? No. Brooklyn, I hate you. Peace. Oh, my gosh.

That was some harsh energy. Hello, who's this? This is Stan, man. Stan, man. What's up? Make it off your chest. What's going on with y'all, man? Salute to y'all, too.

Thank you, King. The whole thing with Afghanistan, man, I feel like there's no way you could have avoided that chaos that's going on right now, no matter who was the president. You know what I'm saying? If Trump, Bush, Obama, any of them was the president, they would be going through the same thing right now because of the fact that the Taliban never dissipated. They always existed. You see what I'm saying?

I agree with you. That's why it didn't make no sense for Joe Biden to say that a Taliban takeover was highly unlikely. There was going to be something. The Taliban was going to do something regardless. Right. Regardless. So, yeah, man, that's what I need to get off my chest, bro.

But I appreciate y'all, man. Yes, sir. Hello. Who's this? My name is Stabby Ross. What's up's up mama get it off your chest okay i'm an artist from jersey i'm from um north and elizabeth i did a video in tribute to charlamagne the god book um shook one and black privilege.

I'm a fan of Charlamagne, like a really big fan prior to this. So when I had the opportunity to get his books, I started reading them and I was like, you know, I'm going to incorporate that into my, my music and my books. Oh,

thank you. That I was going to put out. So I paid the guy $8,500. I'm not even going to say his name, but I paid him $8,500 for the video. And Charlamagne had reached out to someone on Instagram because they had posted a clip of me. And he said, oh, wow, who's that? And they sent this to the guy that shot the video,

and he cropped the rest of the conversation and basically cut me off so this has been weighing heavy on me for um i would say probably about three months now that you know release you know have done in video and um he basically tried to just block me from talking to charlamagne after charlamagne reached out about me well where is the video queen i want to see it honestly I was just giving up yesterday I took my video off of YouTube but I will send it to you I'm gonna repost my videos send it to me I'm gonna repost it today you send me your Instagram tags and all that good stuff I will repost it today because I appreciate

and that is his federal racketeering trial. He's facing multiple allegations of sexual abuse. We'll tell you what happened during opening statements. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on?

Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee. Well, R. Kelly's trial started yesterday in Brooklyn. And while giving her opening statements, the Brooklyn assistant U.S. attorney addressed his alleged marriage with Aaliyah back in 1994 when he was 27 and she was 15. Prosecutors believe that R. Kelly had learned that Aaliyah had become pregnant and that he was the father and he then allegedly orchestrated a plan to marry her so she could avoid testifying against him in court. Now they're saying that R. Kelly is said to have bribed a Chicago official to get a fake ID for Aaliyah and authorities say the marriage certificate listed her age as 18. The marriage was then annulled a year later. And so according to the attorney, she said this case is about a predator, his fame, his popularity, and a network of people at his disposal

to target, groom, and exploit young girls, boys, and women for his own sexual gratification. Also, Jahonda Pace took the stand. Now, she says that she was 16 years old and excited to be in the presence of somebody that she idolized. But over the next six months, she testified that R. Kelly had sex with her while she was underage and physically and emotionally abused her. She's now 28 years old and she is the first of R. Kelly's accusers to ever testify against him.

So that is just from day one. She said she was forced to call him daddy and acknowledge him whenever he entered a room. And she said there was what they called Rob's rules whenever she would visit him at home. And she was forced to abide by some very rigid restrictions. And in one instance, she didn't do that. She said that's when he slapped her and choked her until she passed out. She said, I remember him just putting his hand around my neck. And she said he spit in my face and told me to put my head down in shame and then force her to perform a sex act on him. Yikes.

So day one of R. Kelly's trial in Brooklyn. All right. Now, Terrell Owens is saying that he's 100% sure that he can still play in the NFL. He told TMZ that he wants a team to sign him. You know, I still can play. You know, I think people marvel at how Tom Brady is playing at the age that he's playing. I think, you know, me given the opportunity, I will be able to show people that, you know, age is nothing but a number. Nobody has ever done it.

Nobody has been given the opportunity to do it. And for all the naysayers and pundits that say, oh, well, he can't do it. He's, you know, he's washed up this, that, and the other. First of all, I'm not washed up. I've never really just been given the opportunity to play at a later stage in my career. Well, Terrell's what, 47? Yep. So what do you guys think?

It could still happen? I would have to see how fast he is. I see his skill set. Because that wide receiver, you still got to have that speed. If he's still got the speed, I mean, he's clearly still in shape. But I would have to see what that speed like. He said he has interest from at least one individual in the NFL. And they told him to stay in shape.

Yeah, like Charlemagne said, it's all about the speed. That wide receiver is all about speed. All right. Now Detroit Tigers analyst Jack Morris has apologized after he used an offensive accent. And he was doing this before an at-bat by Angel star Shohei Otani. Shohei Otani is Japanese, and here is the accent that he used. Now what do you do with Shohei Otani?

Be very, very careful. Okay, so that was him. He sounded like a Count Dracula to me. I didn't know what he was doing. Well, he has since apologized to Otani and the Asian community. Here's what he said. Well, folks, it's been brought to my attention

and I sincerely apologize if I offended anybody, especially anybody in the Asian community, for what I said about pitching and being careful to Shohei Otani. I did not intend for any offensive thing, and I apologize if I did. Certainly respect and have the utmost respect for this guy. Can I hear it again, please? Now what do you do with Shohei Otani?

Be very, very careful. Hey, that's foul. That's absolutely foul. Come on, you can't do that. Clearly it's just about with Shohei Ohtani? Be very, very careful. Hey, that's foul. That's absolutely foul. Come on, you can't do that. Clearly, it's just about the community, though, right? It's about the community that you do that to. Because people do that to the Caribbeans all the time. They do that to the Jamaicans all the time.

We make fun of rednecks all the time. So clearly, it's just about the community. But if he said, if there was a black picture, they'd be like, yo, boy, people would be upset. They do that all the time. Do they? White people? Well, he's a Detroit Tigers analyst.

I don't think that's slang. They're analysts. I don't see nobody saying, yo, boy. What? You ever heard Max Kellerman talk? I think that's just slang. I wouldn't want to hear Jack Morris use a Caribbean accent either. If a Caribbean person was going to bat, I would find that to be.

And it's also like a stereotype of an accent, too. Like, that's not... They wouldn't get in trouble if it was a Caribbean accent. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Nobody would even... I mean, listen,

I'm not mad at, you know, the community for saying, no, don't do that to us. But clearly, it's just based on how the community reacts, right? Well, he is now suspended... Y'all better start getting mad.

Stop letting people do patois. He is now suspended indefinitely. You're going to be mad? I'm not going to be offended because I said patois wrong? Yes. Okay. All right.

Well, that is your rumor report. But also, with this Caribbean, aren't we bigging it up, though? Don't. I don't know. I really don't anymore. I have no idea. Leave people alone. That's all I can tell you.

Stick to whatever your thing is and stay in that lane because you just never know when you're going to offend somebody. That was foul. He, we, oh, my goodness. All right. We apologize. Front page news next. What are we talking about?

You know what we're talking about, COVID. Oh, boy. All right, we'll get to that next. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. It's answer the ye.

We just put this one in. Drop on the clues bomb for Rod Wave. That's my guy.

Sleep the Rod Wave, man. I like that young man a lot. Very talented brother. All right. Well, let's get into front page news. Where are we starting? Well, let's start with the Biden administration. They're going to start rolling out booster shots, and that's going to start happening the week of September 20th.

They're saying that data is showing the effectiveness of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines against COVID diminishes over time. So after reviewing the most current data, they are saying now they're going to lay out a plan for the boosters now. They said that move is necessary to stay ahead of the virus, and they urge anybody who hasn't gotten a shot to do so. You know, they're still urging for that to happen. So the recommendation, anyone who received Pfizer or Moderna vaccine should get a booster shot eight months after their second shot.

And again, that's health care workers, nursing home residents and seniors being first in line. Does that scare you that you might have to get a new shot every eight months? No, no. I'm going to get my shots. The shots didn't do anything to me. I was fine. I mean, clearly it didn't. That's why you got to get a boost.

I didn't feel sick. I'm more scared to get COVID than to get a booster shot. I'm just saying, I mean, every eight months. So every time COVID mutates, you have to take another shot? That's what I'm wondering. Probably. But remember, I got a fever for my shot and all that. But no, it doesn't get me.

Because the flu shot is once a year. So it's like once every 12 months. Once every eight months, it's like, hmm. All right, now a group of restaurant owners and some small businesses are suing Mayor Bill de Blasio in New York City, and that is over the vaccine mandate. They want to block this new requirement. We told you earlier this month, New York announced a new rule requiring people to show proof of vaccination against COVID before dining indoors, before visiting a fitness center or going to an indoor entertainment venue. Anybody who works at these businesses also have to be vaccinated.

Now, the rule did go into effect this week. The plan is to start enforcing it starting September 13th. And so according to the plaintiffs, they're saying this vaccine mandate is arbitrary and capricious due to the fact that it targets certain establishment, but not others. They said the rule prevents people who choose not to be vaccinated from doing their jobs and that it infringes on their religious freedom. So they want a permanent injunction against the order. I'm just not sure who's going to be the who are going to be the people because I see a

lot of places putting this into effect, too. I think San Francisco, it starts on Friday. But who is going to be the person that's going to enforce this? As I said, this is whack. You know, restaurants already losing. Now you want them to hire extra people to check vaccine cards. person that's going to enforce this? As I said, this is whack. Restaurants are already losing. Now you want them to hire extra people to check vaccine cards? Who's going to enforce this? There's going to be problems and fights.

You can't get to restaurants. I went out last night. I went to the Beacon Theater here in New York to go see Ali Wong. Matter of fact, salute to everybody at the Beacon Theater. The staff there was incredible. But I heard them saying, you have your proof of vaccination up. And you had to wear a K95 mask

specifically to get in there and everybody was doing it yeah they did that when I went to see Dave Chappelle you had to be vaccinated to go in

and they give you masks there yeah I didn't see how they were checking it but I heard the person yell out make sure you have your vaccination card

in those businesses they have staff to do it restaurants barely have staff think about it they have the lady at the door they have waitresses they have bartenders so now. Restaurants barely have staff. Think about it. They have the lady at the door. They have waitresses. They have bartenders.

So now you've got to hire somebody extra in a business that's already not making that much money because of COVID? Well, they need to hire the people that the Beacon Theater had because the Beacon Theater staff was incredible last night. All right. Well, Joe Biden also says that they are going to make vaccinations mandatory at nursing homes. If you work in a nursing home and serve people on Medicare or Medicaid, you will also be required to get vaccinated. With this announcement, I'm using the power of the federal government as a payer of health care costs to ensure we reduce those risks to our most vulnerable seniors. All right, and human trials are going to begin for Moderna's HIV vaccine. By the way, the study is in phase one stage.

It would measure the safety of the vaccine and collect information on whether the potential vaccine has an impact on HIV. It's going to have to go to phases two and three to collect the data on whether the vaccine is effective or not. HIV vaccine candidates have been determined to be safe to test on humans. So they're looking for 56 participants for that study between the ages of 18 and 50. That trial is set to begin on August 19th and end in 2023. They said it's different than previous ones because the technology used is the same technology used in Moderna's COVID vaccine. That technology has been in the making for over 10 years.

I want to talk to a doctor about the booster shot because I want to know why you need three shots. I almost feel like just give me the booster because that's the latest one. That might be the one that really, really works. I think it's all the same shot, though. It is? Yeah, because when you take the first shot, it's, I believe, the same as the second shot.

This is exactly why I want to talk to a doctor. I don't need no mites or mazes. No, I think it's the same as the second shot because I always wondered how come the first shot does this to you? You're fine with the first shot, but the second shot puts a lot of people on their ass. So what's the third shot do? Does it make everything come back? That's why they call it a booster?

It boosts back up what you already got in your system? I don't. I need to talk to a doctor. Well, what they're saying is the effectiveness wears off from the first two shots. So after you take the second shot, they said eight months later, it's showing that it's not as effective over time. So why do I need the two? If I've never had the two, why can't I just start with the booster then?

They're all the same, I think. I need to talk to a doctor. I'm not talking to y'all. Please, some doctors. Can we have some doctors on the show? Book some doctors, Eddie, please. Jesus Christ. We got Dr. Oz. Man, shut up! He's a doctor. Dr. Phil? Man, stop. Dr. Leonard?

You want a shot? No, not from you. You sure? I'm positive. You positive? And you're going to try to give me three shots. I got to check your temperature first. Matter of fact, we're all doing

everything in the same area. Nah, can't but you. All right, that's front page news, man. 800-585. See, that's what Turk was talking about. Those games you like to play.

That's right. Drop on a clue to Bob's with Turk, damn it. All right. Turk ain't tell one lie. All right. 800-'t tell one lie. All right. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about slangs and accents and things like that.

Now, what happened with this gentleman that had to issue an apology? Yes, so he is a sports commentator for the Tigers, and he was talking and using a Japanese accent as Otani came to play. Let's hear it. Now what do you do with Shohei Otani? Be very, very careful. All right. Well, since then, he is suspended.

He's going to be doing some bias training as well. So we're talking about accents and quotes. Well, you said something I disagree with. You said that if a white man said, yo, homeboy, that's like, would be offensive. I'm like, no, everybody uses hip-hop slang and slang from black culture. Yo, homeboy, wouldn't be offensive. A black person comes up to the back,

yo, here we got the number three, yeah, that's the homeboy. That's foul. I hear that all the time. I don't. What if you are from New York, or you from Florida, and you're a white announcer, and

you say, oh, that's my homeboy from Orlando, because y'all both went to Orlando. How is that offensive? That's like you can't say, hey, number seven coming up is that crack-ass crack-ass. You can't say that. That homeboy and crack-ass crack-ass is not the same. Oh, my gosh. Like, come on. Why?

But you can't say anything that... All right. Let's open up the phone line. Let's talk about it. Gosh. You say it all the time, talking about white people. No, talking about racist bigots. All right, so if there was a racist bigot coming to the plate, right?

What's a racist bigot in sports? I don't watch baseball, so I don't know. But if there was a known racist bigot coming to the plate, like, that crack-ass cracker just hit a grand slam. He didn't say that, man. You can't. That's different than homeboy, though. White people use homeboy all the time.

What's wrong with homeboy? That's not offensive. 800-585-1051. Let's have this discussion. It's The Breakfast homeboy, though. White people use homeboy all the time. What's wrong with homeboy? That's not offensive. 800-585-1051. Let's have this discussion. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now.

Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about accents and slangs and things of that nature. Is it offensive? Is it offensive? What's the guy's name that had to apologize? Jack Morris. He's a Detroit Tigers analyst.

He apologized on air last night after he used an offensive accent while Shohei Otani, who's Japanese, was at plate. Now, what do you do with Shohei Otani? Be very, very careful. Now, by the way, Shohei Otani said that Japanese was at plate. Now what do you do with Shohei Ohtani? Be very, very careful. Now, by the way, Shohei Ohtani said that he wasn't offended.

So who got offended then? Why did he apologize? I mean, the Asian American Journalist Association Sports Tax Force said they were disappointed and disturbed, and there were a bunch of people that were not happy with it, but Ohtani personally was not offended. Yeah, I'm not mad at any community for standing up and saying, don't play

with us like that, but does every community get that license? Because if that's the case, Jamaicans, boy. Caribbean people. Caribbean people, period. Especially Jamaicans though. Jamaicans, y'all got a big case. Nobody should be using patois. Patois. Whatever. Okay, nobody should be doing that because people do that

to y'all all the time. Irish people, they get mocked all the time. And rednecks, Lord have mercy. What culture is that? But it only seemed like only certain communities, there's a problem in certain communities. Because like you just said, you just named a bunch of them that nobody can blame. In the statement, they said in his analysis, would Morris have used an accent for an African-American player or Hispanic or Latin player, an Irish or Italian player? Morris, a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, should be held to a higher standard while serving a regional and national audience. Italian, too.

Italians get, people mimic Italian accents all the time as well. And they do it all the time. Nobody says anything about it. And to be honest with you, I didn't even know that that was an Asian accent. To me, he sounded like Count Dracula. He sounded like a cartoon character. I didn't think he sounded, I don't know what an Asian accent sounds like. It's a stereotypical Asian accent when they do that, where they drop the R and replace it with cartoon character. I didn't think he sounded... I don't know what an Asian accent sounds like. It's a stereotypical

Asian accent when they do that where they drop the R and replace it with an L. I didn't know that. So that's like... It's not like a gang thing, is it? Like how the Bloods

don't say C-words? No, you idiot, man. He said it sounds like a gang. I can't believe it. I don't know. I'm asking. But I think what they're saying is he's held to

a different standard because of... I don't know if in everyday life somebody would get canceled for that, but maybe what they're is he's held to a different standard because of, I don't know if in everyday life somebody would get canceled for that, but maybe what they're saying he's held to a higher standard because he has this huge regional, national audience that's very diverse. Well, I'll tell you one thing. If y'all keep letting rappers and comedians host these sports shows and these sporting events, it's going to be some more things like that.

Well, let's say it's a Mexican player that comes up and announces, go, okay, oh, we have this player. Oh, what's up, Holmes? Whatever they say. Holmes, you know what I mean? Whatever they go to accent. I don't even know

what that was just now. Yeah, that was weird. All right, forget it. That's how Mexicans sound? I have no idea. All right, forget it. I've never heard a Mexican say that in my life.

Hello, who's this? What's up, man? It's Fred. What's up, brother? Talk to us, man. Yeah, man, I just heard people being way too sensitive.

And, you know, people use, like, basic actions, things like that all the time. Like, yo, what's up, homes? Oh, that's a thing. I didn't know. Okay. Okay, Envy. I didn't know that was a thing.

You know, man, people just being way too sensitive, bro. I wonder if he would have said that. I think that might have sounded weird, too, but I don't know if it would have been the uproar. What, if he said, what's up, homes? Yeah, it would have been weird if he would have said that while somebody was at bat. Hello, who's this?

This is Tasha. Hey, Tasha, good morning. What are your thoughts? I think it's a dialect thing. I think it's a sarcasm thing. I think people are too sensitive. You got to know your audience. Like, if you would've said

if this was a comedy battle and you would've said that to, like, that dude from Wildin' Out, Tim. Oh, Tim Delaghetto. That's my guy. Salute to Tim. Yeah, you would've said that to him. He would've cracked up. He would've started laughing. He would've said some stuff about you. Like, everything is getting

a lot of sensitive. Like Mar everything is getting a lot sensitive. Like Marlon said, we just got to start laughing at each other again, our differences, our similarities, and, like, just get over it. And intention should matter, too. Like, if I'm not being malicious, if I'm not trying to hurt your feelings,

if I'm just having some fun, like, what's the problem? Right. Like, it's all too much. It's all too much now. But the problem is, you don't know what hurts anybody's? Like, what's the problem? Right. Like, it's all too much. It's all too much now. But the problem is you don't know what hurts anybody's feelings anymore. That's the problem. You don't know what hurts anybody's feelings anymore.

That's right. Y'all want us walking around here, everybody wearing the same colors and no emotion about nothing. No laughter, no sadness, no nothing. No anger. What was that? Yeah, she got angry. Yo, pit bulls everywhere are offended. How dare you mimic a pit bull like that just now, man?

All right? How dare you? The Pit Bull Association of America is going to be outside protesting your job. Shut up, man. You're going to stop saying you New Yorkers. That's right. I'm not. You New Yorkers.

What does that mean, you New Yorkers? You know what you New Yorkers mean By the way, New York is the perfect example Because everybody in New York sounds the same Puerto Ricans, white people, black people So who are y'all mimicking when y'all do that? What you mean? Who?

Who what? Because you can say a white New Yorker sounds like a black New Yorker And say the white New Yorker is imitating black people A white New Yorker doesn't necessarily sound like a black New Yorker Or the Latino New Yorkers that use the N-word Like, what's up with that? I don't know Exactly New Yorkers imitating black people. Are the Latino New Yorkers that use the N-word? What's up with that? I don't know.

Exactly. I mean, Latinos are like black to us. We grew up with each other. But I don't know that dialect is always about race, too. You could be a white Jamaican or an Asian person that's Jamaican. So how do you know that's sports and don't have a part Asian in it?

He just did that all of a sudden out of nowhere. He's not part Asian. We've been talking that way the whole time. What if he does a DNA test? I'm serious. What if he does a DNA test and he's 20, 30% Asian? Does he have the license to do that?

No, my point is that you can grow up in Japan and speak Japanese and not be Japanese. Like, you know what I'm... Not be Asian. You know what I'm saying? Like, you could grow up in Jamaica, like Miss Pat, who owns VP Records. Sure. But what if the sports commentator... So she can use that accent.

It doesn't have to do with her necessarily. It's not that she's making fun of an accent. If you grow up speaking a certain way and a certain dialect... What if the sports commentator was 30% Asian? And he grew up around Asians? I don't know. I'm just saying. I mean, he apologized.

I think it'd be fine. I think. I don't know. I don't know either. That's all I'm asking. All right. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it.

Are these things racist? Is it fine? Is it just slang? Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. I ain't no way, man. I ain't playing.

I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. That kid don't even eat with that. Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic. Come on. 800-585-1051.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about a sportscaster that had to apologize for these comments right here. Now what do you do with Shohei Ohtani? Be very, very careful. That's Detroit Tigers analyst Jack Morris.

So we're asking, what are your thoughts? We have a lot of people on the line. Hello, who's this? Charmaine. Hey, good morning. Hey, Charmaine. Good morning. Good morning.

What are your thoughts, mama? I think it has some racial undertones to it. I think we've got a condition to just let them fly with it. So, you know, it just doesn't affect some of us. But I think they did say something that was like, I guess, geared to some Afro slang or whatever. We'd be all, you know, thinking like, who are you playing with? Now, look here now. You calling from the 843.

That's clear. Okay, that's kind of here to get you all through you. So what if a white person was talking to you this morning and said, hey, now, you know what I'm saying? Hey, now. Me, personally, I You know what I'm saying? Hey now. Me personally, I don't think I would care. But I don't know. I don't know about anyone else. You wouldn't want to box him in a box?

Now relax. See, now you're being disrespectful. How am I being disrespectful? Now the Geechee Association of America is going to be outside your front door for disrespecting our culture. Okay, you watch yourself. If it was somebody I knew,

I probably would tell them to don't get boxed off now. Don't get boxed off now. Don't get boxed off now. I don't want to get boxed anymore. Boy, he being disrespectful, ain't he? Yeah, ain't it? Ain't it? He didn't even do it right, though.

No, he didn't. Because I didn't get the Asian thing to it. I thought he was trying to talk about, like, what a little cartoonist with a rabbit. It was a terrible, terrible. Oh, yeah, Elmer Fudd. Yeah, that's who he sounded like. My bad.

What that was mean? Like, I ain't even. He sucked with the whole Asian thing. I didn't catch the Asian either. I was saying Count Dracula, but you're right. He sounded just like Elmer Fudd. Be very, very quiet. We hunting rabbit.

We hunting wabbit. All right. Thank you, Mama. They used to call me Elmer Fudd all the time because of my list when growing up. Hello, who's this? Natalie from Florida. What's up? Hey, Natalie from Florida.

What are your thoughts? Good morning. Good morning. So I think everything that it comes down to is inflection. You know, not even perception. You kind of know when someone's trying to say something sideways to you all the way that they're saying it to you. Okay, so what do you think with Jack Morris and his case?

I think throwing in the accents a little too much, but if there was no harm meant, you know, sometimes we put a little too much weight into these words. Here in Florida, we say homeboy all the time. I work in a prominently white business or an office, and they throw that word around all the time. What word?

Homeboy. That's what I'm saying. What's wrong with with homeboy a white person can't say homeboy can white people have homeboys other white homeboys yes i mean they like i'm telling y'all and these are like i live in a little rural area of florida that nobody's ever heard about these are florida and uh these are i don't want to use the incorrect words but these are some real thick of the neck kind of people. Rednecks? Yeah, there we go. You said it.

I didn't say it. Listen, man, if black people can have buddies and pals, white people can have homeboys. I didn't think about that. All right? Come on. But it's also probably how you say it, right? Because if it's like really exaggerated. But how can you say buddy foul, though?

No, I'm not talking about buddy. I'm talking about if you say homeboy like in an exact... Because people were upset because they felt like the accent was highly exaggerated and it was more mocking. So maybe it's also the way that you say. That's true. Because if I was white and a black person said totally, I'd find that offensive.

Totally. I would be upset about that. I know mad white dudes that be like yo, yo, yo, yo when they see you in this building. I don't take that offensive because I see them do that to each other yo, yo, yo, yo, when they see you in this building. I don't take that offensive because I see them do that to each other. Like, yo, yo, yo, yo, ain't black. Boy, they say, yo, yo, yo, yo, my nigga. Now, see, come on. Now you bugging.

Now that's just stupid. You know what I'm saying? Why you always got to do that? You always got to be the one to jump up and get a booster shot. All right. You always got to be the one to go get the third shot. Why? I don't know.

All right. What's the moral of the story, guys? I mean, the moral of the story is you can't tell people what to be offended by. And, you know, if you unintentionally offend someone, it's perfectly okay to apologize. But let's not crucify people. Like, you know, they're intentionally trying to be malicious and disrespectful in a lot of these situations because they're not. Because this guy, I don't even know, what's the guy's name? Jack something.

He literally sounds like Elmo. He literally sounded like Elmo Fudd to me. But now let me ask you one last question Why can any other race Say the N word and it's okay I don't know that that's okay That's a New York thing You New Yorkers

What if you're Afro-Latino Nobody can say that What if you're Afro-Latino though That goes back to what I was talking about earlier If you was 30-40% Asian, can you get away with saying that? You know what I mean? If you're Afro-Latino, I guess you could say it. Because you can be black and Hispanic, you know.

You could be black and Asian. You could be white and Asian. It's all too confusing, bro. It's just so confusing. All right. It sounds like the CDC doing this, talking about this. I'm just confused. I'm just confused. All right. Get a third boost and keep it, talking about this. I'm just confused. I'm just confused.

All right. Get a third booster and keep it moving. G, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and it looks like Shine and Diddy have a great relationship. We'll tell you what Shine had to say about where they're at now. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. And listen, can I salute everybody again at the Beacon Theater? And I want to salute Ali Wong because the hospitality last night was A-A-1. They treated me and my folks like, like, like, like, they treated us really, really well.

And I appreciated that because I hadn't been out in a year and some change. And the way my social anxiety is set up, boy, I do not need to be around no whole large crowds. Y'all thought I didn't like large crowds before. Now, I know I'm not built for it. As soon as I sat down, I turned to my wife and said, I want to go home.

I enjoyed the show. Loved it. Ali Wong was amazing, but I wanted to go home. And a shout out to Fat Joe. Today is Fat Joe's birthday. Oh, man. Happy birthday.

I just brushed my teeth. What the hell going on? Go get me a goddamn teeth cleaning. I might be overdue. Cavity or some type of root canal. I don't think I got no cavity. Well, after I went to the dentist, I ain't had no cavities, but something ain't right. Something ain't right.

Gotta keep that electric brush on that tongue a little longer. Alright, we got rumors on the way in? Yes, and let's talk about Amber Rose. She had some issues and she is saying that her man cheated on her with at least 12 women. Is he black?

We'll talk about it. All right. We'll get to that next at the Breakfast Club. Come on. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with

but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.

And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's go. It's time. She's spilling the tea.

This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, it looks like Amber Rose is going through it right now. She went on social media and she posted, I'm tired of getting cheated on and being embarrassed behind the scenes. All 12 of y'all bums, the ones that I know of, there's probably more, can have him. Y'all very much knew he was in a relationship with a baby and y'all decided to F him anyway. I saw all the texts and DMs. Y'all were well aware, but y'all don't owe me any loyalty, so it's whatever. I can't be the only one fighting for my family anymore.

I've been so loyal and transparent, but I haven't gotten the same energy in return. I'll never say the girl's names because I'm not in the business of ruining lives, but y'all know who y'all are. As for him, the lack of loyalty and the disrespect is ridiculous, and I'm done. Then she posted, My raging narcissistic mind can get the F out of my life, too, on my kids. I'm tired of being mentally and emotionally abused by people that I love. I've been suffering in silence for a long time, and I can't take it anymore. So what's the allegation?

Her boyfriend was cheating? Yes, so her youngest child's father, Alex Edwards, and, you know, he is a Def Jam A&R. He's being accused now of cheating on her with at least 12 women. And she said, well, actually, he's already commented on it, by the way. He went on with Big Von, and here's what he had to say about what went wrong.

I mean, she texted me like if I apologize publicly and all this, you know, she loved me. But I don't want to keep doing that to her. I know that I could. I could give her a good six months and just really like deprive myself of my true nature for as long as I can take it. But I don't want to live like that. Salute to the legendary Big Von, by the way. Dropping a Clues bomb for Big Von. And I know I'm old because that sounded exhausting. I wonder if that's how old athletes feel when they watch sports.

Old players look at somebody playing the full game. They're like, damn, I can imagine how tired he is. That's how I feel hearing about that brother allegedly being with 12 different women it's just yeah their son is about to be two in october so uh that's i guess what the situation is he wanted to keep on doing what he was doing and he couldn't do an open relationship because when that came up here's what he said did you ever think about just asking to have, like, an open relationship? I mean, it sounds cool, but then I also don't know how I would feel if she was like, hey, so I know you went out yesterday

and you was f***ing with Tisha and s***. I'm going to go out tonight with so-and-so. You going to watch the baby? I don't know how I would feel to keep up 100 with you. So he wants to do what he wants to do, but he wants to make sure she doesn't see other people. Hey, man, you know wants to make sure she doesn't see other people. Hey, man. To each his own.

That's just not the lifestyle I choose to live no more. It's just too exhausting. 12 women is a lot. Yes, indeed. How do you have time? You don't. That's how it got caught. You just don't. It's impossible. It's impossible. You just don't have that kind of time. But I do respect the fact, if you do feel

like that as a man, even if you feel like that as a man even if you like feel like that as a woman just let the other person know and let the other person make a choice on whether or not that's the situation they want to be in because there's a lot of people that's doing that polynesian sauce relationship thing nowadays yeah i guess she saw the text and dms and that's how she found out so i don't know if this was a situation where he told her or she found out and then he had to admit it. Who knows? It's mad random that he would do an interview and just be like, yeah. Yeah, why he do an interview about it?

I don't know. What's it called, though? What's it, Polynesian sauce? What is it? What sauce? You talking about from Chick-fil-A? No, man. You talking about when you go to a wife. Oh, polyamory?

There you go. There's a lot of people into that nowadays. All right. Now, former Bad Boy artist Shine, he is speaking. He had a sit-down interview where he spoke to Tigger. And amongst the things that he discussed was his role in Belize in politics. Also, he talked about why Belize is the world's best kept secret when it comes to tourism, falling out of the music industry and his relationship with Diddy, which he said, by the way, is great right now.

How's your relationship with Diddy? Oh, it's great. We FaceTimed yesterday. Okay. And he actually wanted me to come see him first, but I had to come and see the legislators. But over the last few years, we have built back our relationship. And so, you know, he was always a big brother to me, and we've had our difficulties, but we never lost the love for each other. So he was

allowed back in the U.S. to meet with legislators. He's discussing what can be done as far as tourism or legislation. He said one discussion point was making Belize a sister city to Atlanta. That's one of the things that he was in the United States to discuss. That's beautiful. I love to see how Shine has evolved and I'm glad that

him and Diddy have found some healing in their beautiful. I love to see how Sean has evolved and I'm glad that him and Diddy have found some healing in their relationship. Yeah, shout out to Sean, Poe. All right, now Kanye has revealed that there is indeed going to be a third

Donda listening party. He posted it on his Instagram page with a flyer that says Donda Soldier Field 82621. The show starts at 9 p.m. Central

and it goes on sale tomorrow at noon. I'm not mad at it. I think everything that Kanye is doing around this album is phenomenal. I mean, the album is named after his mom, right? So everything has to be right. You want to make sure that the music is flawless. You want to make sure that the anticipation is right.

You did two listening sessions in Atlanta where you was born. Now you're taking it to Chicago where you was raised with your mom. I love it. He's honoring this project the right way, if you ask me. Yeah, but how many to Chicago where you was raised with your mom. I love it. He's honoring this project the right way, if you ask me. Yeah, but how many listening sessions are you going to have? As many as you need. They said after this one, and somebody had said on Twitter, after this one, he finally dropped

the album and Boo responded, who's his manager, 100%. I mean, this album is literally named after his mom. You want to make sure this is right. This can't flop on no level. Imagine if you did an album about your mother who's transitioned and critically people don't like it and

commercially it doesn't perform well. You would feel like you didn't honor her properly. So I respect it. I respect the way he's moving with it. That is your rumor report. Who are you giving your donkey to, Charlamagne? Four after the hour. Let's talk about narcissism, shall we? We need Sheriff David Morgan to come to the front of the congregation.

We'd like to have a word with him. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hey, what up, y'all?

It's DJ Envy. And our friends at Samsung have something big brewing over there. And I think it has to do with the new Samsung Galaxy. They keep saying, are you ready for this life? Not sure what it means. But come August 11th, we're all going to find out. Learn more at samsung.com slash reserve. 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 the guy.

I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Wow, donkey of the day for Thursday, August 19th goes to former Sheriff David Morgan. David Morgan is a former sheriff in Escambia County. Where is Escambia County? Well, if you heard the Donkey of the Day intro and if you guessed Florida, you're right. Okay, if you guessed Florida for 300, Alex, you are correct. Sidebar, since it's not LeVar, it will always be for Alex. Those are the rules of life.

I just follow them. Now, what does your Uncle Sharla, Brother Leonard, always tell you about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. And David Morgan is no exception. OK, now we all know people in Florida move to the beat of their own drum. But sometimes there are things in Florida that we all can relate to. And today, in the case of David Morgan, we can all relate to narcissism. Can we talk narcissism? We all know a narcissist, right?

What is narcissism? All right. The dictionary defines it as an excessive interest in our admiration of oneself, involving a sense of entitlement, a lack of empathy, self-centeredness. It is an actual personality disorder, people. It makes the person have a sense of entitlement, a lack of empathy, self-centeredness. It is an actual personality disorder, people. It makes the person have a sense of grandiosity, okay? A need for attention and admiration. Did I say a lack of empathy? I think I did.

Scary thing about narcissism is it often accompanies other personality disorders and can be difficult to treat. There are nine signs of being a narcissist, but let's focus on two in regards to david morgan uh grandiosity okay exaggerated sense of self-importance feeling superior to others uh and that one deserves special treatment um feelings are often accompanied by fantasies of unlimited success brilliance power beauty love an excessive need for admiration must be the center of attention okay yeah why am i talking about narcissism in the case of david morgan this morning well let's go to wear for the report please documents obtained by channel 3 show the plan was to have a six foot four statue

of former sheriff david morgan here at the memorial in front of the sheriff's office but according to current Sheriff Chip Simmons, that is not going to happen. The life-size statue depicts Morgan in a sheriff uniform while standing in a saluting stance. A purchase order from Randolph Rose Collection in New York shows it's one of three statues the former sheriff ordered in April of 2020 for a price tag of $75,000. And copies of the checks paying the bill show the money came

from the Sheriff's Office general fund account. A statue of former Escambia County Lieutenant Jason Potts and a canine were also created. Sheriff Simmons says those are generic enough that they may still be displayed. As for the recreation of former Sheriff Morgan, it's being held in storage for now. Sheriff Simmons tells us he only learned of the statues earlier this year and he tried to cancel the order, but it was too late. Maybe you missed it, but Sheriff David Morgan actually spent taxpayer dollars to get a statue built of himself. I had no idea that getting the statue was up to you i really thought statues were earned not bought now i'm not talking about you know all those racist bigot crack-ass cracker statues like

john c calhoun and robert e lee i'm talking about statues of great american patriots like denmark bessie and martin luther king jr and jakelle o'neill and michael jordan asia wilson these are people who have earned statues through activism, athletics. My point is, I thought you had to do something to get a statue. OK, to buy a six foot four inch statue of yourself and to tell people that you intended to stand directly in front of the main entrance of the agency's headquarters as part of its monument to fallen officers. I have one question. Who asked asked for that and the fact you use taxpayer dollars to feed your ego david morgan is there really such thing as leadership in america it's like the people we have in positions of power locally and federally only care about

themselves what happened to being public servants okay servants of public. There's no way a human like this was ever about the people. It's impossible. Now, current Sheriff Chip Simmons had this to say about former Sheriff David Morgan. Listen. You don't typically make a statute of yourself and have the taxpayers pay for it. I think this is a bit of a waste of money. I think it's a bit brash. I think it has an air of narcissism to it. Maybe we can have it melted down and make use of it. A brash narcissistic waste. I would not want a statue of myself unless I earned it and the people gave it to me. There's a quote and the quote is there has never been a statue erected to honor a critic.

So I'll never get one. But I don't even know how that applies to this situation. I just wanted to say there's never been a statue erected to honor david morgan either but dave morgan being the narcissist he is decided to erect a statue honoring himself and that is worth some critique please give david morgan the sweet sounds of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. All right.

Well, thank you for that. Now, guys, we work here. We're The Breakfast Club. Yes, sir. Right? We're in the Radio Hall of Fame. Correct. If there was something to you know uh honor us

here at the station what would you want it to be a check a check we get those but like a plaque a statue what would you want i'll take a statue a statue okay would you want like a group statue or you wanted to be like individual group statue breakfast love got you true true two to size so you about five foot two me six foot foot, and you five foot five. So I think. I would want to be like a water fountain, like a drinking fountain. You know what I'm saying? Like a fresh water drinking fountain.

But I would want it to be an envy only drinking fountain. This feels narcissistic. So what? I don't know if it's just me. Let him go. So where does the water come out when people drink? What's wrong with you, man? I knew you was going to ask me that.

What's up guys? So my question let's go. What's up, guys? So my question is, where do I find the men? The modern day is not working. Grindr, Tinder, nothing is working anymore. A couple of things I want to say. Grindr and Tinder,

are those free dating apps? Yeah. Okay, I just want to say when you want to date, I think sometimes certain dating apps that are free, a lot of that is a lot of hookups. But if you're trying to find a

man, are you trying to find like a relationship? I don't know. You know, whatever comes, a shop, a baller, basketballer, footballer, any kind of baller. You know, any kind of baller. Okay, so you just want a baller. So you're not looking for a real relationship. You're just looking to have a good time. Yeah, pretty much. Okay. so you just want to ball out. So you're not looking for a real relationship.

You're just looking to have a good time. Yeah, pretty much. Okay. I just feel like I can't get any, you know, play. So tell me, so you're just looking for a baller. So you're just looking to have a good time. I think that I can be something to do, you know, take me out, you know, stuff like that. Do you want to stay on apps or would you rather meet people in person?

Mainly in person. Okay. One of the best ways, I think, when it comes to dating to meet people is through referrals from your friends. And so you have to let your friends know, I'm looking for somebody. Can you hook me up with someone?

Have you done that? No, because they're all, can I curse? They're all hoes. Sorry. It don't sound like you want anything serious, though, from what you're telling me.

You're right. Yeah, I guess. I'm still young. I have to have time to figure it out. Yeah, I think it looks,

it sounds to me like you're just trying to have a good time. And, you know, it is still a pandemic, so people not outside like Envy says they are,

especially in New York with all of these restrictions that we have going on. But I do think that, you know, in a limited capacity now, in a safe way with your mask on and social distancing, you have to go to you have to put yourself out there and go to events, you know, have your friends invite you out. Sometimes we're so lazy and we act like something's going to just come to us and you're sitting there on these apps and you're swiping, but you're not really going out and mingling in real life. And everything doesn't have to end with a hookup. It can be you just meeting new friends and expanding your social circle. And that's a great way to meet people. All right.

Well, if anyone's looking for something nice and chocolate, my Instagram is dhomie.h-o-m-i-e. I'll be at the Lil' Kim concert on Saturday. Wait, hold on. Spell that again.

I'm going to tell you something. He's like, leave me alone. Let's be clear. There's nothing like a compliment from a gay man. But he didn't give you one. He didn't give you one. That's my point. I was fishing.

I'm like, damn. We do got some thought pictures on here, though. Whoa. OK, this one is okay. All right. ASCII, 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call us now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's ASCII. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of ASCII. Hello, who's this Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this?

Hi, my name is Jasmine. Hey, Jazz. What's your question for Yee? So I have a boyfriend. We've been together, it'll be a year in November. And I had a best friend that I lived with. And last, I think like last month, she moved out because she felt like he was overweight too much. Okay.

Even though I put him on a schedule because she's already told me before that he's overweight too much. So, you know, I just thought, okay, maybe he'd come over like every other day, like twice a week or something like that. But it was still too much for her. So she moved out and we have not talked since. Wow. All right. So a couple of things here. Why did you ever go to his place or he only would come to your place?

He was actually still living with his parents. All right. So he was trying to be over there all the time. Right. And that's hard when you have a roommate because my old roommate, when I used to have one, she used to let her boyfriend come and he didn't live in the the country, so he would stay with us for months at a time. But we lived on different floors, so it wasn't so bad. But I can appreciate that you tried to put him on a schedule,

but every other day is a lot for somebody to have another guest in the house. And especially, she did express herself to you. Have you reached out to her since she moved out? Yes and no. We just had messages with each other just saying, like, you know, just because you moved out doesn't mean that we're not friends anymore.

You know, we're still going to be sisters. But after she moved out, it was just nothing. She's probably a little irritated. Like, I would be annoyed if I had to move out because we had our relationship one way where

we had an apartment together. You didn't have a boyfriend at first. And it's also kind of awkward. Like, y'all had to share a living room and everything and a bathroom. No, living room and bathroom, no. Okay. Yeah, I think you should make more of an effort to not just text her, but, like, plan to get up together, be understanding of how she felt.

You know, it is your space also, so of course you're allowed to have your boyfriend over. But I think she was very honest. You know, it is your space also. So, of course, you're allowed to have your boyfriend over. But I think she was very honest. You know, this is not working for me. This is not what I signed up for. And, you know, therefore she moved out.

And you guys should really just get together. And I think that's up to you to make that move. Like, ask her if you could take her to dinner. Take her. You know,

instead of waiting for her to come to you because I think she was open with how she felt. She took action for something that she didn't like.

She didn't have an attitude, right? Oh, yes. All the time. Oh, she did have an attitude. Yes. Can you understand?

You said, can I understand why? Yeah. I mean, yes, I can. I guess I was, I don't know. I guess I was, I don't know. I guess I was, I'm just so used to just doing whatever I please.

And so when I like changed up the schedule to how much it comes over, I thought it fixed it. But like you said, every other day is the last thing about it. Right. I think just be a little more understanding to her and how she felt about the situation. Reach out to her. Take her to dinner, you know, on you just so you guys can iron things out.

And look, you fell in love with somebody. It is what it is. It isn't what either one of you anticipated. It's not like you could go to his place because he lived with his parents, you know, so it kind of wasn't fair to her. Right. So acknowledging all of those things,

now you guys are in a different space, but you all should be able to rebuild your friendship. But I think it's a communication thing. You got to reach out. You got to kind of acknowledge that you see how she felt. And, you know, it just was a bad situation. You fell in love. You wanted your man to come over all the time, understandably so.

But then you had a roommate that wasn't happy with that living arrangement. Okay, I'ma try it. Okay. And don't be cheap. Make sure you get her some good drinks and everything. Y'all can, you know, you guys can iron this out. Okay, thank you. No problem. Alright, ask Yee.

800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call Yee. Now we got rumors on the way. Yes, and let's talk about that interview. Draymond Green and Kevin Durant. It came out yesterday for Bleacher Report's Chip Series, and they sat down together and discussed Katie's decision to leave the Warriors. We'll tell you

what was said. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip.

Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Draymond Green and Kevin Durant sat down for an interview on Bleacher Report's Chips, and that interview actually came out yesterday. It's 24 minutes. Now, one thing they did discuss on there was their infamous argument

and how come Draymond asked, well Draymond asked Kevin Durant about him leaving the Warriors after that. How much did our argument against the Clippers drive you to ultimately leave the Warriors? It wasn't an argument. Steve Kerr acted like it didn't happen. Bob Myers tried to just discipline you and think that that would put the mask over everything. I really felt like that was such a big situation for us as a group. The first time we went through something like that, we had to get that s*** all out. I remember watching the last dance, and when Scottie didn't go into the game, the whole team said, Scottie, that was f***ed up that you did that. We needed that.

All right, in addition, they talked about the suspension that happened after the argument. They tried to tell me, you need to apologize. And I told them, I'll talk to K, but y'all aren't going to tell me what I need to say. And so we met the next morning, and they said, all right, you ready to apologize? And I told them right then and there, I said, y'all about to f*** this up.

I said, the only person that can make this right is me and K. And in my opinion, they f***ed it up. I think so, too. They told me right then and there, like, we're going to suspend you for this game. I laughed in their face, literally laughed in their face. For not apologizing. All right, now, also in this same interview, he asked Kevin Durant about having kids or not having kids.

That's a big commitment, and I always felt like I was just really zoned in on my work. And eventually I do want that, but the older I get, I think, is the better because I'm maturing more, knowing myself more, understanding my situation a little bit more. So if I were to invite someone in or combine my life with another person, you know, it would be perfect at this time as opposed to me 10 years ago. I wouldn't know what to do.

Do you ever worry that the longer you wait, your kid won't understand who Kevin Durant is? I'm glad he won't understand. Why? Because I don't want him to have to feel like he's pressured in this bubble to do what I did, you know? I wonder how the front office of the Warriors are going to feel about Draymond having that conversation and saying those things about them. Personally, I respect it. I think players have the right to criticize the front office and let executives know when they effing up.

In fact, I think players should do that and front office executives should listen because they don't know the culture of the players like the players do. But let's think. When the last player came up here or did some press about the organization, what happened to him? He's back with the Warriors now. I don't know what happened to him at that time. They traded him, right? I don't know if they traded him. He was a free agent. I'm not sure.

They traded him? Yeah, they traded him. He's back now with the Warriors. He's back, right. But this is all in retrospect, too, like looking back at a time when this happened so you can explain what the real issue was. It wasn't really with each other. No, it was the executives.

And so that's something executives should pay attention to and listen to. I think executives that don't listen to their players, executives that don't listen to their employees, are executives that are destined to fail because they will never know the culture like the people on the ground. I agree. Alright, well since we're talking about the nba let's talk about carmelo anthony and a big what if now he talked about the detroit pistons had promised to draft him at one point

and what would have happened if they did he was on all the smoke with matt barnes and stephen jackson here's what happened that was a good detroit team obviously they went on to win championships you ever think of that like change the right? Changed the course of my career. Like to this day, I still think about that. They promised me, you know what I'm saying? Yo, we taking you. I'm talking all the way up to draft day. They was like, yo, you gonna share a town with Tayshia?

I'm like, cool. Like I ain't, you know, I'm gonna come and do my thing. But I don't know how long my shared town will help, you know what I'm saying? I'm just coming to do my thing. And then they won it. My luck time will help. I'm just coming to do my thing. And then they wanted my luck. You know what I'm saying? Honestly, if I'm there, I think they want another one. I agree. Absolutely.

He definitely gets one. Potentially two. Imagine up until draft day, you had this promise and thinking that something's going to happen. He was going to go number two. And then, yeah. Why don't go number three to the Nuggets? And the person that did the Pistons draft, I can't remember his name. He sucked so bad. Darko...

I don't know. He sucked. Compared to everybody else that came out. Who came out that year? LeBron was number one. Chris Bosh, I think. Darko, two, three. Carmelo, four was Bosh. Five was Wade. Wade, yeah. D-Wade, yeah, yeah. Damn. Right now, the FBI is now involved in the

Deshaun Watson sexual misconduct case. And they said that they have launched their own probe into what happened. Now, Tony Busby represents the more than 20 female massage therapists who have alleged that Deshaun Watson was inappropriate with them during massages. And that is the claim. He said that they've contacted him. I've met with them three times now, and they've met with several of the plaintiffs in the case. So now the FBI is involved in this whole thing. Now, according to Deshaun Watson's attorney, Rusty Hardin, he said the whole thing is BS.

He said, I have absolutely no reason to believe that Deshaun is being investigated by the FBI. The FBI, meanwhile, did not confirm nor deny whether or not they are investigating Deshaun Watson. That would be a strange case for the FBI to be investigating, though. Yeah, I don't know what's going on with that. Now, Daniel Craig has said that inheritance is distasteful. So, he said he doesn't want to leave great sums to the next generation.

He said, I think inheritance is quite distasteful. My philosophy is get rid of it or give it away before you go. Who said that? Daniel Craig, you know, he played James Bond. And so this is what he told the UK's Candace Magazine. He said, isn't there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you failed? Then he noted that Andrew Carnegie

gave away billions of dollars before his death in 1919, saying that shows how rich he was because I bet he kept some of it too. He's worth about $160 million, by the way. Yeah, I saw that yesterday and I didn't really understand the logic because with inheritance you're passing it along, giving

it away. And whether you give it away to strangers or whoever, you're still passing it along giving it away. So why not give it to your family? I ain't gonna die rich. I got six kids. Exactly. I don't understand the logic. Why wouldn't you want to give your kids a leg up in the world? Yeah, I... Listen. How mad would you want to give your kids a leg up in the world? Yeah, I...

Listen. How mad would you be if your parents had a whole lot of money and gave it away before they passed? This gentleman had... I'm sure he had legs up. He had privileges that we don't have. Yeah, but the whole point... Yeah, you're right. But the whole point of us being parents is we're always supposed to be better

than the generation that came before us. We talk about generational wealth and having something to pass down. He might be set up in no camp, but I know I wasn't and I want to make sure my kids are. The logic don't add up. If you're going to give your money away anyway, give it to your kids. I agree. Maybe he don't like his kids.

He said, get rid of it. Maybe he's going to just go on a wild binge. When people give it to their dog or their cat and things like that, I never understood that. To your cat? Yeah, people do that all the time. Hey, man, it costs to be in heaven. You know all dogs go to heaven.

They balling in heaven. You're going to need some money when you're up there. How can your cat, your cat can open an account and get your inheritance? Mm-hmm. That's crazy. You see it all the time. People leave their money to their cats or whatever. All the time?

Yeah. Really? Usually rich white people. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Mm-hmm. What? You wouldn't leave no money to rumor report. Mm-hmm. What? You wouldn't leave no money to your dog or cat?

No. What are they going to do with it? Buy a bunch of bones? I don't know. I wouldn't do it. But all right. Shout out to Fat Joe. Today is Fat Joe's birthday, so we're going to start the mix off with some Joey crack.

And I'm reading this quote because, you know, Anita Kopach is definitely a healer and Shallow Waters is definitely a book that is about a journey of healing. And I want to read this quote from Maryam Hasna. Maryam Hasna says, a healer does not heal you. A healer is someone who holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer so that you may heal yourself. So I suggest that you go find you a healer so that you may heal yourself. So I suggest that you go find you a healer so you can find some healing. Breakfast club, bitches. You all finished or you all done? 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. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.
