I see the triangle, right? I'm figuring it out. The voice of reason, the solid, hold it down, the beige rage, and the agitator. The breakfast club. Everyone just kept telling me to prep for this. One word to describe the breakfast club would be black. Impacting the culture. People watch the breakfast club for like news and really be tuned in, man.

I don't even know what to call this breakfast club. It's like brunch. Envy. Yeet. And Charlemagne. Wake that ass up. Get out of bed and listen to thelamagne. Wake that ass up, get out of bed, and listen to The Breakfast Club. I'm waking up.

It's an Audible original that I dropped yesterday because, you know, if you're a black person who gets tired of answering questions about racism to your white people, your white friends, if you're a white person who feels like you want to ask questions but you don't want to come off as racist or bigoted, we put this project together just for you. So I put together like a black brain trust of people that I highly respect,

from Dr. Claude Anderson to Teslin Figueroa to Ebony K. Williams to Senator Nina Turner, Brother Nuri, Muhammad, David Banner, a lot of different individuals. And I really, really, really am proud of this project. I really do enjoy it. Well, congrats, man. Let me tell you a little story. So, you know, man. Let me tell y'all a little story. So, you know, in the morning I drive to work

and I'm driving. I'm chilling. I'm relaxing. Head cocked back and I'm just you know, just thinking about all nice things in the world, right? Turn my music up a little bit. That's not your music. It's Miguel's. I'm riding to the music. And I'm cruising down the highway and I'm just chilling. I'm in my zone.

I look to the right and I see Bay. And I'm cruising down the highway, and I'm just chilling. I'm in my zone. I look to the right, and I see Bay. And I'm like, what the? Why was Gia out this early in the morning? No, you. It was a huge billboard of Charlemagne on the side of the road. When you come through the Lincoln Tunnel, you see Charlemagne's big-ass head. Where? Pause, pause, pause.

Coming through the Lincoln Tunnel, you got like a big billboard, and it says, We Got Answers. I haven't seen it yet. Yeah, no, it's huge. Where is it at? I almost crashed. I tried to pull my phone out to take a picture. You never do that? Like, you try like a big billboard, and it says, We Got Answers. I haven't seen it yet. Yeah, no, it's huge. Where is it at? I almost crashed, because I tried to pull my phone out to take a picture. You never do that? Like, you try to take a picture fast, and I couldn't get the phone out, and I'm trying

to slow up, and the people behind me is beeping. It's on the Jersey side or New York side? It's on the Jersey side, right before you get through the Lincoln Tunnel. So, Lincoln Tunnel, if you're not from New York or New Jersey, it connects Jersey and New York City. It's one of the major waterways between the two, but there's a huge one. They spent a lot of money on that one. That's not the cheap one.

It's me, Tameka Mallory, Ebony K. Williams, and Dr. Claude Anderson on the billboard. Right? Yes. Drop on a clues bomb. OG Dr. Claude Anderson, the author of Powernomics. He's on a billboard. It's a billboard

and the one Envy's talking about, and I think it's another one in L.A. on Sunset Boulevard. Yeah, now this one is. I haven't seen either one of them yet. Right before you go to the Lincoln Tunnel, I take the Lincoln Tunnel sometimes in the morning. This morning when I took it, I seen that big-ass billboard. I tried to take my phone out to get a picture, but it was too late.

Well, thank you, Audible. Audible's high class. But seriously, I would love for you all to listen to the project We've Got Answers. I think it's, I'm very, very proud of it. Because it's very, very informative. And I think it's a conversation that a lot of people want to have, but

they're scared to have. So, all our white listeners on The Breakfast Club, this is for you. It's not just for you, but it is for you. You can learn a lot. And the commercial is dope that y'all shot. It was really, really dope. Real, real creative. Audible's high class. But I just want to ask you one question.

So in the commercial, you know, men and women come in and you tell them, you know, hey, I want to know about racism. You go, aisle three. I want to know about this. Aisle five. But one dude came and when you told him aisle three, you looked over the counter and looked at his ass as he walked off. No, no, no. You seen it too, right? That's because he looked a little aggressive.

Oh, so you wanted to see his ass would look like? No, he looked like an aggressive white male. I was just making sure that everything was cool and copacetic. Okay, didn't want to call for security. Didn't want to do them like they do us. Okay. All right, but just, you know. So you just checked them out.

Just keeping an eye on them. All right. That's all. All right. Now, we got some great guests today. Yes, the McBride sisters will be joining us. Now, if you don't know who the McBride sisters are, they have a wine called Black Girl Magic Wine. It's right behind you, right there.

Oh, there you go. Hold on. Yes, sir. My wife was actually sending these out as gifts over the holidays. Black Girl Magic. Yes, really, really dope. Wine tastes great. They got a whole bunch of things that they're working on,

and we're going to talk to them. You don't really see too many sisters, or black people in general, in the wine business. And they're going to talk to us about how they got into the wine business. Now, they're sisters, but they didn't grow up with each other. They kind of met each other when their father passed, but they'll tell you all about it. Incredible story.

Yeah, incredible story. So we'll tell you all about it. For everybody who don't really F what they have, siblings, this is a good reason. This is a good reason. This is'll tell you all about it. For everybody who don't really F what they have, siblings, this is a good reason maybe why you need to give them a call. Yeah, maybe why you should. Alright, well, we got front page news next. Yeez not here.

That means we're winging it. Let's go, baby! That's right. Winging it on this fine Thursday morning. It's okay. Yeah, we gotta talk about the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine. We'll tell you about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's go. Alright. Morning, everybody. Who sings that tell you about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on, let's go. All right. Morning, everybody. Who sings that song?

Who is that? Pop Smoke. That's Pop Smoke singing? Yeah. Oh, okay, okay, okay. It's Pop Smoke, Lil Baby, and Da Baby. I love that. I love that tune, man.

It's just like I know how to shoot and I know how to fight. All right. Well, let's get into some of the page tunes. I just want to beat you up and shoot you and sing in that. You sound so old saying, I love that tune. I love that tune. Love that tune. That tune is great. I do love that tune. I love that tune. Love that tune. That tune is great. I do

love that tune. That's the joint. Listen, man, I am who I am. Which I want me to do. Goodness gracious. Well, today is opening day in baseball for some of your favorite teams. Today, the New York Yankees open up. It's going to be the first time they're going to have fans in the stands in over a year.

So it's going to be 11,000 fans in the building. I think that's 20% capacity. None of this makes no sense. They do this all the time. They're increasing the capacity in venues, but then you got the head of the CDC saying that we're headed for doomsday. Like, which is it? Yeah, well, it looks like millions of Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine doses

have been ruined. They're saying 15 million doses have been ruined. They say Johnson & Johnson hired another company to help make the vaccine. They did something wrong, and 15 million doses will be thrown away. But they're saying the ones that are out right now, you're okay.

That don't even make no damn sense. That's what they're saying. They're saying the ones that are out right now, Johnson & Johnson, you're good money, but 15 million doses had to be thrown away. I'm not an anti-vaxxer by any means, but yeah, I'm still very skeptical about this COVID vaccine. So y'all continue to go out there and do your thing. I'm watching from afar.

Now Pfizer's vaccine are saying that it's 100% efficient when it comes to youth ages 12 to 15. I didn't know there was a vaccine that was 100% efficient. I've never heard of a vaccine having 100% efficiency. Yeah, that's what they're saying when it comes to youth 12 to 15. They're saying it's 100% efficient. I don't know. Even the flu shot is not 100%, is it?

I'm not tripping. That's what they're saying on CNN now. I'm not confronting. I've been hearing all types of cases. Now, hold on. I just went to immune.org, right? And it says, the first line is, no vaccine is 100% effective. Give this to him, please. Give that to him, please, sir.

I saw this yesterday on CNN, too, and I saw the guy say that. And I was like, I've never heard of a vaccine being 100% effective. Well, it says among people 16 to 25. I don't know, man. I don't know what's going on out here in these streets. Yeah, but you know, I've been seeing a lot with the vaccine. I've been seeing that, you know, some people taking it and been fine. Like I said, my parents are fine. My wife is fine. I'm fine.

Dramos is fine. And then I've been seeing people that have been having some crazy side effects. Yeah, I saw somebody's skin peel off. Yeah, I've seen that. I know somebody personally who developed a palsy. Yeah, I saw somebody's skin peel off. Yeah, I seen that. I know somebody personally who developed... Ball palsy. Yeah, palsy, balls, bells palsy, balls palsy. But they said it's only temporary, so it's just like...

You just don't know. You just don't know. You don't know how the vaccine's going to affect the body, and you don't know how COVID's going to affect your body. So like you said, it is a crapshoot. You just don't know. I know what, though, and CMOS I trust. Okay?

I took the vaccine, and still CMOS, I trust. In vitamins and juicing, I trust. In masking, I trust. In washing my hands, I trust. Absolutely. Now, in some sad news, four people, including one child, were killed in a shooting at an office building in Orange, California Wednesday. Two other people were injured in the incident, including the suspect.

Police don't know what happened or why. They're getting more details. And that happened last night around 5.30 p.m. L.A. time. Is that being considered a mass shooting? It should be, right? Yeah, it should be. They're saying that this is at least the 20th mass shooting since the Atlanta spa attacks two weeks ago. Lord have mercy. I'm telling you, man, a good investment for any place that, you know, any building that has people is armed security.

Absolutely. I don't care. Churches, grocery stores, you know, corporate buildings. Hey, man, invest in armed security because I don't know what the hell is in people nowadays. All right. Well, that is front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club Hello, who's this? Good morning, this is AJ from Georgia AJ, good morning, get it off your chest, bro I just wanted to get on here I listen to you guys every day

And I want to thank you guys for the opportunity To express myself I've been going to the doctor, me and my wife, for the past couple months to try to figure out why we weren't able to have a child. And long story short, they told us it's not, you know, it's not anything wrong with the eggs or anything wrong with me, but she basically needs IBS.

And the doctor is pretty confident that if we get this procedure that we'll have a kid. So I don't know. I'm shooting my shot with you guys or anybody that you guys know or the listeners to try to raise the money for that procedure. We have insurance, but the insurance doesn't pay for that procedure specifically. Why do you set up a GoFundMe? You know, we're not really on social media like that, but we just got done with the appointment, I want to say last week,

where they finally told us that IBS would be successful, so this is my first outreach. Well, let me tell you something, my brother. I don't think there's anything wrong with crowdfunding. Like Killer Mike said, if everybody does a little, nobody got to do a lot, but I mean, you got to have a place where people can actually donate. You know what I mean?

You can't just call the radio station and say, hey, I need some money. Where are we going to send it? Yeah, I got you. I understand. I'm in the process. I'll go ahead and see what I can do as far as GoFundMe is concerned. But I just wanted to definitely get on here to see if, you know, you guys could help out a little bit.

Yes, we can, but you got to help yourself a little bit. Yeah, you got to create a spot where people can donate. That's right. And I will say this. You know IVF doesn't necessarily, it's not 100%. It's very, it's not 100%. It's not that efficient. There are other ways where people can help you get pregnant. You should definitely talk. Not help him get pregnant.

No, well, help his wife get pregnant. Now, if you want to try, Envy. Shut up. I think he wants to try to help get you pregnant, sir. There's holistic ways that work. There's other ways that work because IVF is very expensive. I mean, you're talking, it could run you up 30, 40 grand

depending on how many procedures and shots and all that other stuff. So I would also, you know, you can definitely raise the money, but look at other holistic ways that can actually help as well. Yeah, we've been looking into a lot of stuff, you know,

but they pinpointed the main issue as far as like her tubes, you know, but they pinpointed the main issue as far as, like, her tubes, you know what I'm saying? And they said that's the main issue. So, he looked at us and he told us, and we've been to two doctors, hey, this is the procedure that has the highest percentage

for you guys to have a kid. Because I'll tell you this, right, and I don't even think, we spoke about it before, for my last child, Brooklyn, me and my wife couldn't get, we couldn't get pregnant, which was weird to us. Because every other time, I mean, it happened so fast. So we tried IVF and it didn't work. And that procedure cost a lot of money. And right after it, we just, you know, regular sex and she got pregnant.

And that was from detoxing myself and she detoxed. And it was different holistic things that we did that, you know, regular sex and she got pregnant. And that was from detoxing myself and she detoxed. And it was different, different, different holistic things that we did that, you know, I don't know if it worked 100 percent or maybe it just could have been God, but it did work. But IVF didn't work. And it was very, very, very, very expensive. Set up a GoFundMe, bro. Yeah, set up a GoFundMe. And I would check Dr. Jesse, who's been on here before. She has the detox now. She deals a lot with it. Go to DetoxNow.com and they can definitely help you with your

problem. You should check them out first and then try the IVF. Good luck, bro. Alright, I appreciate it. Peace, King. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time. Now, when we come back, we gotta talk Young Jock. Young Jock, he has a spray

on beard and he's getting roasted for it. We'll talk about it when we come back. we got to talk Young Jock. Young Jock, he has a spray-on beard, and he's getting roasted for it. We'll talk about it when we come back. Shut up! You can relate. Shut up! You can relate, huh, Envy? Shut up! You can relate.

Shut up! I can't even believe you got the audacity to talk about this. My beard is real. Nigga, please. Pull my beard. Pull it. Pull my beard. Pull it.

It's real something, but it ain't real hair. It is real hair. All right, we'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired?

Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.

There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. 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 warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. 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-A-Stan 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. Hey, guys. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.

You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Young Jock. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report

with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. The audacity of you to report this story. So Young Jock is getting roasted after debuting a fake beard. That's right. Envy did it first. No. Now, I guess Young Jock has a spray-on beard, and people are making fun of his beard.

He actually literally sprayed it on, and people are making fun of his beard. He actually literally sprayed it on and people are upset about his nasty beard. They call it mud beard, calling it a bunch of different names. The audacity of you. My beard is real. The audacity of you to bring this up. Come pull my hair. Do we have audio of Young Joc? Put your face on live for a thousand dollars.

Somebody said it look like black smudge now. This is your pubic hair. This is public health. I guess he couldn't grow his beard, so he decided to draw it. You can replace Envy with Young Jock and get those same jokes off, okay? Let me ask you a question. Come pull this. Let me ask you a question. When y'all paint your beards on, you know, when you drown yourself in so much Beijing

that you look like DMX covering in blood on his second album cover, who do y'all think y'all fooling? Like, we can see you. Bro, my beard is real. And the problem is y'all don't just get it on your head. You get it on your flesh as well. Whole chin looking suspicious. You know, there's a statistic that says

men with spray-on beards get pulled over by police at six times the rate as men who don't. Do you know that? Bro, I have a real beard. My beard is real. Young Jax is fake. See, there's a picture. You have the nerve. Pull it! I don't want to a real beard. My beard is real. Young Jax is fake. See, there's a picture. You have the nerve.

Pull it! I don't want to touch. Dramos, as a person with a real beard in the room, do you believe DJ Envy's beard is real? No, and I can't believe he has the audacity to report he's throwing stones when he lives in a Beijing house. It's crazy. Exactly.

You know, Shakespeare once wrote, swear by one's beard, swear by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin. If somebody with that paint on their face swears by the hairs on their chinny-chin-chin. If somebody with that paint on their face swears by the hairs on their chinny-chin-chin, they lying. It's not even this. Classic Shakespeare. Alright, well shout to Diddy. Shout to my bro Khaled. Shout to

Kevin Hart. Shout to Rick Ross. Shout to all my brothers out there, man. I see y'all out there. He just want to burn everybody's house down because they wear Beijing as well. I just want y'all to know we can see you, okay? My beard is real. I don't y'all to know we can see you. Okay? My beard is real.

I don't know what you're talking about. Boy, please. Let's keep it moving. Romeo. Romeo says being a black man out there in the world is never safe. Can I stop for a second? We're not going to just slide by this. Because you keep saying your beard is real. Because that's not a lie.

The beard is real. My beard is real. You said my beard was fake. The color of it is not. My color's fine. The beard is real, but the color of it is not. Shout out to Khaled. That's your hair, but the color of it is not. The beard is real, but the color of it is not. Shout out to Khaled. That's your hair, but the color of it is not

real. Shout out to Rick Ross. Shout out to all my brothers out there in the struggle. What up? Now, as I was saying, Little Romeo talks about driving around the campus of UCLA and being careful if you're a black brother. I remember the most recent time I was at UCLA.

UCLA, you get pulled over over there. You better have that camera recording because they don't play no games. But the guy pulled me over at gunpoint, a black cop. And he was like, is this a stolen vehicle? I'm like, bro, relax. Like, just come check out my registration and get my driver license. Is this a stolen vehicle? And then when he saw it was me, he said, oh, Romeo Miller?

Oh, you good. I thought you was just some random black dude. Yeah, that's horrible. And if you're a black cop and you look at other black men as just random black men, don't think for one second white people don't see you the same way. You ain't always be in uniform, bruh, bruh. Yeah, and you know, the sad thing about it is, you know, I used to get pulled over a lot all the time

driving a car and getting pulled over and it gets frustrating and it gets to the point when you get pulled over. How much did you get pulled over? How much did you get pulled over? Is it how much?

Yeah. How many times I got pulled over? A lot. Well, I just told you there's a statistic that says men which pray on bids

get pulled over by police at six times the rate as men who don't. I just said that. I'm not being serious with you. Now, the Bonnaroo Festival, the Music and Arts Festival, seems like they're opening up this world again. Now, the Bonnaroo Festival is taking place September 2nd through the 5th.

It's a four-day festival. Artists like Tyler, the Creator, Megan Thee Stallion, Young Thug, Lil Baby, Run the Jewels, Kevin Gates, Janelle Monae, Lizzo, Jack Harlow, G-Eazy, Nelly, Flo Millie, just a host of others. It's going to be live? Yeah, in Tennessee. It's like people can show up. Yeah, it's a four-day admission.

It's $329 in VIP packages. Start off at $1,000. Not virtual? Not virtual. Wow. I think it's a camping festival, too. Oh, so you've got to stay over? Yeah.

So it's kind of like you're creating your own little bubble in a way, maybe, if you've got to stay over? For four days, though? Yeah, well, they haven't said how they're testing people, if you have to be tested or what it's going to be. But that's going to be a lot of people to see this. So the world is opening back up. The world is open, sir. Yeah. All right.

Well, that is your rumor report. Like I said, Angela Yee is out. So when we come back, we got front page news. I don't know what we're talking about next, but we'll get to it when we come back. Oh, Biden. Never heard of him. All right. But we're going to talk about it when we come back. It's a breakfast club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. When a train hits a vehicle at a railway crossing, the results are often deadly. Be cautious at crossings. And if the signals are going, don't be tempted to try and sneak across their tracks, even if you don't see a train.

Stop. Trains can't. Brought to you by NHTSA. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front-page news. Now, in sports, I know today is opening day for a lot of your favorite baseball teams. I know the Yankees have opening day today.

They're only allowed, I believe, 20 percent capacity. So it's only going to be 11000 people in the stadium today. All right. Now, let's talk about this Derek Chauvin trial. Now, yesterday, the body cam was released. Yeah. Did you see that? Unfortunately, I did.

Now, you know, I can't really watch this trial. And the reason I can't watch this trial is because it brings back all those memories and it puts me in a dark place. It's traumatic. I've been trying not to watch the news either, you know, because the George Floyd case is traumatic. And I tuned into CNN and MSNBC for a little while yesterday and I had to turn it off because they keep showing the video of George Floyd over and over. And then with the new body cam footage that I saw where the cop had the gun pointed at George Floyd, and he's just like all of us are when we're in the presence of police begging. He's begging for his life. Like, please, Mr. Officer, don't shoot me.

And I don't think police officers understand. I'm trying to comply with you, right? Correct. But you got a gun in my face. Exactly. And at the same time, you're telling me to do all of these different things. Give me your license. Give me your registration.

I don't want to move. I don't want to move. And I saw George going through those different emotions. Correct. He put his hand on the steering wheel. He put his hands in the air. He didn't know what to do except for beg for his life and ask the officer not to shoot him. I don't think police officers understand the complexity of that when you're a black man.

Well, the body camera showed that, you know, George Floyd was a dude. The officer's knee was on his neck and he was pulling his arms up. So he was using it was almost like he's using his arms to pull George Floyd closer while continuing to put the knee on his neck. So he's putting more pressure on his neck. So that's what the body cam showed yesterday. Now we have testimony of uh mr martin he's uh the cashier of the store and let's let's play his audio what's going through your mind during that time period uh disbelief thank you why guilt um if i would have just not taken the bill this could have been avoided yeah and i don't understand why um they keep trying to tell us George Floyd, you know, was possibly intoxicated.

He was high. What does that matter? If being drunk and high is a reason for officers to kill people, why are all the white people in Florida during spring break going to be getting killed? Because they'd be drunk and high out their mind. Drunk and high out their goddamn mind. I don't understand what does one have to do with the other. It makes no sense to me. Yeah, he said that, you know,

Floyd allegedly gave him a $20 bill that appeared to be fake, and he told him to come inside and talk to the boss to pay for it, and that's when the officer was called. In my opinion, that has nothing to do with the officer putting his knee on that brother's neck. Nah, not at all. And using his own arms to pull more force so he can have more knee on that brother's neck. Nah, not at all.

And using his own arms to pull more force so he can have more pressure on that brother's neck. And they keep trying to say it was the intoxication, you know, that is what caused George Floyd's death. I understand if you could say that if he was fighting back, but he wasn't fighting back, he wasn't moving. Listen. He was not moving. He wasn't fighting back. I don't care if he was whatever he had. He was not moving.

I enjoy getting drunk. I enjoy getting high off edibles. I love plant-based medicine. None of those things have, you know, led me to almost die. It was the knee in his neck. Yes. Okay. That's what killed George Floyd.

The knee from Derek Chauvin in his neck. You know what else had me thinking too watching the court case? I appreciate due process, right? But it's amazing to me that in the courtroom, people can be skeptical when there's so much evidence right a whole video from all these different angles but they're still trying to find doubt in this story but then you look at some place like social media where it can be lies it can be rumors it can be allegations all that's taken as fact so it just makes me wonder how people can be skeptical and doubtful about things you actually see.

But matter of fact, about things you haven't. And I know we have to go through due process and I know we have to go through trial. But some things it just feels like, do we really? Some can be quicker than others. Right. Do we really? In this case, in this case, it should be quicker. Absolutely. See, we like, do we really? Yeah. My goodness. In this case, it should be quicker than others. That's all. Well, Joe Biden, he unveiled a two trillion dollar job proposal. It's an infrastructure and climate crisis proposal where they're going to modernize 20,000 miles of rundown highways, roads in Main Street and 10,000 bridges. They're saying it's going to bring so many jobs. So they're going to be 500,000 charging stations. It's supposed to bring like they said, close to 100,000 jobs.

Now, my only thing with that is it just seems weird all the time that we find this money that we can never find. Where the hell he got $2 trillion from? The same place he got the $86 million to give ICE to build those hotel-like conditions for the kids at the border. I haven't read up on that infrastructure plan. I saw Joe Biden talking about it yesterday, but I wasn't paying attention. Yeah, but he's getting $2 trillion. They're building up a lot of these rundown highways, roads, and main streets. I don't know if he's got it yet, though.

It's a proposal. But even with the proposal, where's he going to get the money from? Taxes, I think. Yeah, but you look at all these schools that are effed up. We could be helping these schools out. We look at everything else that's effed up, the projects and how they look the kids that they can't eat and black people black people and reparations loans and all that but but we find two trillion dollars for infrastructure and climate plan not to say we don't need it but if it's that easy to find that money can't we find

it for other things that's needed it's not when it comes to the people whenever they need money for anything else they spent one point what.7 trillion on a goddamn failed fighter jet. But when it comes to actually giving money to people, they got to vote. You know what I'm saying? And go through this whole process. It's such a struggle when the money actually needs to go to the people who need it. And not only that, we talk about the stimulus checks all the time, right?

And people are grateful for the stimulus checks for the help, right? But how many stimulus checks were released? Three? Yeah. Three checks released over a year checks were released? Three? Yeah. Three checks released over a year and a half? Mm-hmm. So let's say you get the maximum, which is what? $3,000, $4,000 if you have a bunch of kids?

I don't remember. How is that going to hold you down for a year and a half? How? Like, how? Well. They can't. For a year and a half? To pay mortgage?

To pay your rent? To pay if you have a car, your electricity, your phone bill, your kids, your food, all that money for a year and a half? The jig is up on America. But you find $2 trillion for infrastructure and climate plan? The jig is up on America. America's faker than DJ Envy's bid. Yeah, you stop it.

You know what? It was serious and total. What? It's the truth, though. No, it's not. My bid is not fake. I'm not going to tell you that it's not real. It's the same way we can look at your beard and tell you that it's not real, it's the same way we can look at America and tell it this whole concept of freedom and justice

and liberty for all and equality. It's all BS. I won't talk to you no more. It's nonsense. All right, that's front page news. Now, when we come back, the McBride sisters will be joining us. That's right. The McBride sisters have a wine called Black Girl Magic.

That's right. Yeah, my wife was sending this out for the holidays as gifts, but they have an amazing story. They have two sisters that created their own company and they're distributing wine all over the country. They're doing well. They started from nothing and they are successful. We're going to talk to them when we

come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. 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.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Char wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. The founders of the largest black woman-owned wine company in the U.S. We have the McBride sisters. Welcome, ladies.

Thank you. And congratulations. Thank you, thank you. Robin and Andrea. That's right. Andrea. Andrea. Y'all Thank you. Thank you. Robin and Andrea. That's right. Andrea. Andrea.

Andrea. You have such an interesting story. Y'all didn't even grow up together? We didn't. We grew up in different countries. Wow. Break that down. Yeah.

How does that happen, right? Yeah. So I grew up, we were both born in LA, in California. Andrea grew up in New Zealand. And I grew up up the coast of Monterey in California. So we have the same dad, but we have two different moms and neither one of us had a relationship with our dad. So we didn't know about each other. So Andrea's mom was originally from New Zealand and she grew up

in her mom's home country. And I grew up with my mom. Didn't have, neither one of us had any other brothers or sisters. So we thought we were only children growing up. And we didn't find out about each other until later in life. I was 25, Andre was 16, and our dad was sick. He was terminally ill, so he asked his family to please find both of his daughters. He didn't know where we were. And this was back in the 90s, so it took quite a long time, but they finally found both of us, and we got the chance to meet, actually, here in New York. Yeah.

For the first time. For us. It was like an instant bond Yeah, we when we first met, you know Once you kind of get past all like the shock and hugging and tears and everything It was like what was it like where you grew up and we both grew up in these small rural Like world-class Winemaking regions and independent of each other, we wanted to be winemakers. So that was kind of the thing that we bonded over when we first met. And then like when we met at the time, my mom passed away when I was young and our dad had passed away and I was living

in foster care. So when I met her, it was like big deal. And growing up, I was good at athletics. So at the same time, I was being recruited by most major universities in the United States. So I was like. What sport? Track and field and volleyball. So I was like, this is my vehicle to get back to the U.S. and be close to my sister. So it was just two weeks. And then it was like a lot of phone calls and writing letters. Did you spray perfume on them or something?

I didn't spray perfume, no. That would be kind of weird. I think that's a romantic thing to do. We weren't being romantic. How did y'all get into the wine business? And both of y'all were into it individually? That's like some outlier shit. Yeah, well, because we grew up, we both grew up in places that make wine, right?

So we grew up with vineyards, you places that make wine right so we grew up with vineyards you know in the background there's winemaking families all around us so it was kind of part of like the places that we grew up so we figured what are the chances that both of us grew up in places that have that similar background on the opposite side of the world from each other and then we meet each other and find that out. We thought that was probably a sign of some sort for us to think about that. And then when I came back for university, Robin had moved back to Monterey,

and I was in Southern California. And when you drive up that coast halfway, it's just all Central Coast wine country. So we would just meet halfway and just found ourselves getting to know each other as women and sisters. But then just kind of talking about our dreams as our bond grew. Well, one day we were like, why don't we do it? What's stopping us?

And we have two pretty big problems. One is like we had no money in the wine industry. That's a problem in wine business. And we didn't know how to make wine. Also that. That's another big problem. That's another problem we do know how to make wine. Also that. That's another big problem. That's another problem. So how did y'all learn both and how did y'all raise capital?

Everything you need to know on the planet, the answer is on the internet for free. Okay. You know, so like we just started to look up, like, how do we do it? And we figured out the best place would be to learn the business of wine first. And we were able to get a federal importer's license. And at the time, it was $1,800. And then what we did was we went down to New Zealand and found a whole bunch of small family growers and basically said, we can help build your brand in California, bring your wines into the U.S.

And at the same time, we'll come down every year for harvest, and you teach us how to make wine. So we were learning the business of wine while also learning our passion and becoming makers, and we did that from 2005 until 2009. We made our first wine together, and then we launched our company. So we actually started. She was still in her junior year in college um when we started the importing business yeah uh and then launched the company in 2010 um and your question about like how do we raise money i know you all seen the statistics about black women nobody was breaking

down the doors to give money to a couple of black women in the wine business who had no money and no experience that didn't happen so from that that first $1,895, we built our business for the next 14 years off of selling one case of wine. We bought another case of wine. So we just had to build it on our own success for a very long time. This is such...

You know, I didn't know the whole story, but I was in this... So I always go to this black owned liquor store here. And so they had this front and center and I just like the name of it. Like I saw the black girl magic. And then I was like, let me pick this up. And then I saw I posted it actually in my Instagram stories just because I thought it was a beautiful bottle. And I like the black girl magic.

And then everybody started hitting me like, oh, that's the McBride sister sister so that's when I went and I looked at the whole story behind the wine just because it's not that often that you would see something called a black girl magic wine right in the store right and most important to us and I think different to us getting to this business was we wanted to make it accessible to everybody so for the most part like all of our complete range all like 16 wines wines, are under $30. The majority are under $20. And they all have 90-plus point scores, which in the wine industry, anything above 90 points is super elite. So our whole ethos from day one has been to just transform the wine industry, to lead by example, and to cultivate community.

So break that down for a lot of people out there that drink wine. A lot of people don't know how to pick a wine. They go into a store and there's a zillion wine bottles there. They don't know if it should be a red or white or if it should be a sparkling and how much they should pay. So what makes your wine a good bottle of wine? Well, let me stop by saying this. If people want to learn about wine like that specific sort of like situation,

we created a wine school. That's dope. Yeah. It's called McBride Certified. And we're big believers of the thousands of wines around the world. They all fit into nine styles. So if you learn these nine styles, you'll be super empowered on your journey. So we would encourage people

to... It's free. Yeah. Now people need it because people don't know what wine glass they should use. I see people...

We cover all that. They should be smelling. They should be twirling. People don't know. So break that down. Got to turn it off to school. And what do you pair with what when you talk about meals?

What type of wine are you supposed to pair with different things? Well, like for us, just in general, on the wine industry side of things and the way we approach wine, like our motto is like break the rules, drink the wine. So we're always just like whatever you like, like that's the place you're at on your journey and just like embrace it and then for the most part now like when you go into a store wines that are between i would say like 16 and 22 23 24 it's not going to be a poorly made wine you're going to get a solid wine yeah like like yeah the 16 dollar one is not gonna give me a headache no okay well any wine will give you a headache if you drink too much yeah so drink in moderation maybe maybe a six dollar bottle. Okay, all right. Just asking. But what we also did, too,

with these nine styles is that because, you know, wine information can be a lot. And so we paired each style with, like, an iconic musician. So it makes it really easy to kind of remember. We take you through videos.

We taste. We tell you what food goes with that wine, what stemware, all that stuff. All right, we got more with the McBride sisters. When we come back, don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're kicking it with the McBride sisters. Now, during the versus battle, I seen D'Angelo had a bottle of champagne. What's your relationship with D'Angelo?

Well, you know, we... Is there more? There's not more. What's your relationship with D'Angelo? Well, you know, we... Is there more? There's not more. There's not more. I'm a married woman. Tell me there's not more. She's married. There's no kind of relationship.

No, I'm sorry. I heard wrong. But, you know, we, you know, on the last verses, there was a beautiful display of McBride Sisters' wines. And, you know during lady he was giving us a lot of shout-outs I was like dying a little bit I died twice

I was like did he just sing our brand into lady the first album I ever bought with my own money was D'Angelo Brown Sugar wow so I would like I died a thousand times the whole night every time he said it was crazy was it crazy. I don't know if it was a sponsorship endorsement or he just bought the wine himself. How did that work? Our wines are available all across the U.S. And Target is one of our fantastic retailers that carries our portfolio. And they have an initiative called Black Beyond Measure, which is really highlighting and supporting black owned businesses. So they had an opportunity to participate and they chose us as the brand to be involved.

That's great. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. Shout out to Target. Yeah. You say sales shot. How has it?

Absolutely. Absolutely. Crazy. Crazy. I mean, like we are the largest black owned wine company like in the US and in the world. But we're also in the top one percent of all wineries in the United States in terms of size and scale. Yeah. How is it being black women in this business?

Because as we know, like you said, for a woman black owned business, what has that been like for you guys? Have you faced a lot of obstacles because of it? Yeah, it's great now. On the other side. Yeah, yeah, it's great to be in this space now. I mean, we definitely had, you know, additional challenges when we started in the business. That really wasn't so much on the consumer side. It was the business side, where, you know, they looked at us like there's no way. How could you two possibly know about wine or how could you know how to run a wine business? Because we were young and we're black and we're black and we're women.

None of our parents were, you know, owned a winery or whatever. So like for many years, we just constantly were faced with just, you know, a lack of credibility. When we came into the room, it was like, where's your boss? You know, it's like, no, we own the company. And the people are straight up like, how? Or tell us, you know, well, you know, no one's really going to trust, you know, wine made by black women. We don't think consumers are going to buy it because they've never seen, you know, black women that make wine before. So it was just for us, it was this constant having to try to convince people of like our worth in the room

Yeah, our worthiness as producers or the quality of our wines and But you know, it's cool. It's all good. Like we were up for the challenge So, you know and we've been doing this for 15 years 16 years and honestly it just Forced us to be great and greater than everybody else How many people have doubled back from since then that doubted you in the beginning? How many people have doubled back? Like, let's get down. How can we help?

No, the numbers are great. Are great. Yeah. And some of our best accounts and some of our best customers are those same people that were very skeptical. And, you know, it took years for us to break into those spaces. But, you know, they're allies now. Yeah.

I love the unapologetically black name because i'm sure there's people that were saying you can't name it black girl magic you're selling wine oh yeah um yeah our industry's crazy um when we were trying to like bring it out and launch it you know we work in a super highly regulated industry you know and trying to get distributors to sell it was really hard you know just because of the name because of the name because yeah yeah and even we were told that might offend some people yeah oh god it's funny because that's why i bought it yeah yeah well we made we made a celebration yeah and who's offended by celebrating and like for us like you know black girl magic it's like

the best grapes from our vineyards go into the Black Girl Magic program. It's exceptional wine for exceptional women. We're paying homage like to the women in our family, our community.

And just because the wine industry has ignored black people in general when it comes to drinking wine. And so we wanted to be unapologetic about it. Like this,

we made this for you. How do you store wine? Because I noticed, you know, some people store wine, it has to be temperature controlled. But when you go to a liquor store, it's just in the rock. I'm looking at it now. It's just set up.

So how are you supposed to store wine? Does it really matter? It does. It does. So you absolutely want to make sure that your wine never gets warm. It will turn in the bottle. So it's like room temperature or cooler or like cellar temperature, which is like 55 to 68 degrees like keep it in that range and the wine is fine if you have a wine that you're going to keep around for a long time

you actually want to like store it laying down so that the wine keeps the cork moist which some wines are meant to age but other than that the real key is just don't let it warm up don't let it get hot at all because then it's you're gonna lose it now did the recent changes in like the social and political climate like directly reflect like uptick in sales oh yeah yeah absolutely so so you know we had like the first like blackout tuesday and i think we found out about it like the night before and you know we called everybody up at the company and we're like tomorrow's not going to be about us. Let's try and shine a light on the black vintner community. And so we had already been working on a list of,

trying to find just a list of black-owned vintners. It was hard to find. So at the beginning of last year, we started putting this list together, mainly because we were trying to, if people were interested in going national with their company if they want to go to mass retail we wanted to try and help um help people figure that out because normally we're the only black owned and also woman owned privately held

company when you go to like large you know the larger accounts and so we put out this list of like 67 that we had at the time on Blackout Tuesday. And we were just like told everybody just, you know, support Black Vintners. And that thing went viral. And a large percentage of like our Black Vintner community sold out immediately, like had wine club subscriptions for like up to two years. We saw like a huge uptick in our business, but definitely like during that time. And also too, you know, a lot of people are just like a huge uptick in our business but definitely like during that time and also too you know um a lot of people are just like a corporation's like what's my black strategy you know so they're um you know trying to figure out how you know they can start to place black

owned companies you know outside of the wine industry too right on their shelves which which you know you just have to think about like are they in this for the long term? You know, it's obviously reactionary. Yeah. Yeah. But the other thing, too, is, like, with all of that that went on last year, consumers really had a voice. So, like, when we shared all of those wineries and people were like, you know, okay, maybe they had heard of, like, a few, a handful of black-owned wine companies, and they found out there's all these other ones, consumers are really picking up the phone and, you know, talking to their stores and to the retailers and like demanding it on social media. Like we want to see these black owned brands in the stores.

And so the stores were like, oh crap. So they're trying to figure out like how they can get this stuff into the stores. And it made a huge difference. Consumer demand is so much more effective for brands than us going in and trying to prove that there is consumer demand as a community we are so powerful we can decide where to put our money you know and like we put out this one post like just give giving basic instructions on like this is what you can do go into your store and tell them that you want these black-owned brands and we actually got this email from this really large corporation, like, saying, like,

these are the ways of working because they thought that we had this, like, crazy sales force of, like, thousands of people going into their stores, like, trying to sell in. And they were like, oh, you know, this only happens corporately, like, da-da-da. But we replied to them and said, you know,

these are just people. These people, these are your customers telling you what they want in your stores. You know, listen, we'll move. We got more with the McBride sisters. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

We're still kicking it with the McBride sisters. How was the pandemic? Because you touched on it a little bit. I know because a lot of people drank during the pandemic. Yes, I know business was booming. but were you able to supply the demand uh we were like you know fortunate for us when the pandemic hit you know we were able to supply the demand and we were ready for it and had the infrastructure for it one thing that we didn't anticipate though was where we thought our e-commerce business was going to be like in three years like happened in like 60 days it did you know um so that kind of like opened our eyes up to like the potential because wine industry is pretty old school like where every every other

industry has advanced like direct to consumer uh the wine industry hasn't advanced in the same like leaps and bounds but as a result of the success that we had last year like in 2019 with the launch of like our chic we created we have another brand called uh she can by the way very very clever and cute name too she can again and like we really created this like it was for us it was three things it was like our innovation so it's putting like premium bottled wine in a can which took us a while to figure out. We've been obsessed about that idea for years. But the can technology wasn't quite there yet to make sure that our wine quality was maintained.

And then paying homage to our moms. And then but also to we started a professional development fund for women. So the first year we awarded $40,000 in scholarships to women in the wine and spirits industry. And then last year we sold the figure in May of the 1.1 black owned businesses. I think 51% were saying, you know, by May that they're going to have to shutter for good

and only 4% got PPP. Yeah, 95% were denied the federal funding. And so we were just like, that's crazy. So we decided to specifically focus on Black women entrepreneurs. And we partnered with Morgan Stanley and with Silicon Valley Bank. And we awarded $300,000 to 30 women, Black-owned businesses that before COVID were super healthy. They were doing well. They'd been in business, but just like...

And then we also partnered with Facebook that created this whole mentorship leadership program and basically community because you know, when you're an entrepreneur, like it can be pretty lonely. And I think especially for black women, like you need community to like try and just have somebody to talk to about like what you're going through, the challenges of being an entrepreneur. Yeah. Cause we didn't want to just each of the women got you know a ten thousand dollar cash grant for their business but we didn't want I mean money

is great right but it's like we wanted to be able to help make connections and provide services to help their businesses sustain and thrive and to help them as owners to continue to grow and become a part of this community so we brought in additional partners that can help these women to advance themselves as entrepreneurs and as owners in their business. How can somebody apply to the She Can't Find Now? Or is it an application process? It is an application.

So applications open on May 3rd. And you can go onto our website on mcbridesisters.com. And we have a whole area about the fund. And there'll be a link there as soon as the applications open up. I wanted to ask y'all, too, because y'all were talking about other black brands. Have you seen a growth in the black presence in the wine industry? Because I only know two. I know y'all and I know Brown, I think.

The Brown family. Yeah, yeah. And that's the thing. There's quite a few. There's actually a hundred and something that we found now. Last year, we learned that there the thing. There's quite a few. There's actually a hundred and something that we found now. Last year, we we learned that there were 67, but we also knew of like a handful, you know, like maybe a dozen or so makers and families that we were familiar with. But with sort of this change in tide and this change in consumer interests and retailers interest in black owned are many, right, that are at the forefront now. And it's, for us, it's like, it's amazing.

You know, we never wanted to be the only ones that are in national retail. We wanted to have a whole category that showcases diversity in wine because we know it's there. How does it work? Is it like the liquor business where, like, say, like an LVMH came in to partner with Jay-Z on his champagne?

Is it like that in wine too? That does happen. Yeah, it absolutely does happen. I mean, it's still the alcohol business, right, between spirits and wine. But there are definitely globally like really big players that own lots of different brands. They create lots of different brands. They acquire brands and companies. That's absolutely a part of our business as well and i think you know what is the number now percentage like 70 or 80 percent of the wines that you see on the shelves are actually

owned by like three companies wow um have they approached y'all yet yeah people come around yeah you're not ready to do that nope never no no never say never but that that one's the thing that's tricky so like black girl magic so, you know, are approached or people have conversations with us, for Andrea and I, it's really difficult to see like who would we ever be okay with owning that brand. Because we're stewards. We're stewards of Black Girl Magic. We don't own Black Girl Magic. Who would ever take care of that brand? I get what you're saying.

The meaning behind those words, the way that we do. Even if y'all retained majority ownership? Oh, well, if we retained majority ownership, that's a different story. Yeah. Let me get out of y'all business.

I know, right? We're still not doing it right now. You're going to make people think, like, the wrong thing. What are some of the health benefits of one? Revesterol. You know, technically we're not

allowed to say there are any. Oh, I didn't know that. Right. But however, however, people say that though. Well, doctors aren't licensed alcohol companies. So, but, but there are conversations about specifically around red wine and

some of the qualities that come from red wine has contact with the grape skins, right? And so specifically around red wine and some of the qualities that come from red wine has Contact with the grape skins right and so there's there said to be some benefits there in terms of heart health Cholesterol Things like that. So, you know people find it beneficial in a lot of ways We cannot say go drink wine and make you healthier that's not just to clarify our compliance people our compliance people are listening do y'all have to stomp on grapes is that a real thing you do not have to do that but that is a real thing that's i mean historically that's how

grapes were made and people still do it is really more like part of a harvest festival or kind of for for fun um but it is effective it It does work. And you absolutely can make wine by stomping on the grape. And we, you know, we make millions of bottles of wine. I always thought that was gross. It seems pretty gross to me, too.

I don't like the idea of people's feet being in my drinks. Might add to the flavor. It may add a flavor. But yeah, so for the amount of wine that we make, there's not enough feet

to stomp those. So people do it. It's a good workout yeah yeah we appreciate you guys for joining us and make sure you go support what y'all doing is dope and i mean i got three daughters so it's just ill to see like the mcbride sisters i literally was just telling my because i always tell one of my daughters you know why do i call you a planet i call her planet and then her name she said because the world is mine and then my younger daughter goes the world is mine too and i'm, the world is both of y'all.

Y'all can take over the world together. So it's just dope to see y'all collectively moving as a unit like that. And for us, it's like, you know, our daddy grew up in the South and picked cotton. Our family are sharecroppers and then obviously go into slavery. So it's the fact that now we're doing this, it's obviously not just for us, you know, and super special. So we have so much gratitude for everybody that purchases our wine and supports. And so we have to show that gratitude back, you know, and support our community. You can't tell Annie May Nothing or Auntie in Alabama, the family name is on a bottle of wine.

Don't you walk through her door she's got our pictures look at my nieces like there's a huge sense of pride particularly for our family coming from Alabama in the Deep South and all of that history to have you know the family name on a bottle of wine is a big deal that's big all right well how can they buy it is good me so our website everywhere first of all everywhere but if you go to our website go to our website you can plug in a zip code and you'll see

the stores near you and you can purchase from our website also. And if your store doesn't have it, tell them to get it. Yeah. And be loud about it.

Yeah. Mr. McBride, sisters, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you guys. Thank you guys. It's just the

all the gossip, the rumor report. The breakfast club. It's just the end. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Now, if you live in New Jersey and you've got to travel to New York, by the Lincoln Tunnel you'll see a big-ass head.

It's Charlemagne's face. He's on a billboard. Take pictures and tag us. Well, it's not just me. It's for the new Audible project, We've Got Answers, that we released yesterday. And it's myself, Tameka Mallory,

Ebony K. Williams, and Dr. Claude Anderson, OG Dr. Claude Anderson, on the billboard. Yeah, so definitely check it out. You can't miss it. And download the We've Got Answers project on Audible.

It's free for Audible members. I'd love to know what you think. All right. Now, rapper NLE Choppa was arrested in South Florida on burglary and drug charges. Now this is what they say happened. They say Potts, which is his real

name, Brian Potts, and another person was caught on surveillance cameras wearing a ski mask and jumping over a gate at Superior Tow and Company in Florida. Was he shooting a music video? No, he was not shooting a movie video. They say that a car was towed and they thought the car was in their tow yard and hopped the gate to get the car back.

I thought NLE was like enlightened now and he was being more conscious and things of that nature. Yeah, but, you know, they towed his car and he wanted it back. So you put on a ski mask and jumped the fence? And you're a multimillionaire rapper? You ever got your car towed and you just want your car back and you feel like they did it disrespectfully, they had no reason doing it? In New York, it's like $1,100 when that happens.

Yeah, that's why I would try to steal it out. He's a millionaire. He says he's a millionaire. I thought he was a millionaire. I'm sure he is. Now, the only problem was he jumped the wrong fence to the wrong tow yard. No, the problem was that he had on a ski mask and he tried to jump the fence, period.

Well, that was the problem, too. That's the problem. It was definitely the wrong tow yard that he jumped the fence and he was arrested. I think he earned that one. I mean, you know, I hate to see brothers going to jail, but I think he earned that one. It's stupid, but it happens sometimes. They told me one time in New Orleans and I thought about hopping the gate, too. No, you didn't.

But I just decided to pay it. No, you didn't. You never thought that. You're lying. I did. You're lying. How are you going to get the car out once you were in there? I didn't think about it.

You're just so upset that they told you to call. You'd be like, the sign said I could park there, and they told my car, and now they want $300. I'd be like, I just hopped this gate. So you're upset about choices that you made. Listen. I was young, I just hopped this gate. So you're upset about choices that you made? Hmm. Listen. I was young. I was young.

Listen, kids. When the car gets towed, please, don't put on a ski mask and jump the fence. Get it back. It was pretty stupid. You know, I guess I got to throw that out there. Yeah. Now, Quavo and Saweetie could be answering questions. The LAPD opened an investigation about the elevator altercation.

They want to see what happened. They want to see if there was any domestic violence, if there was any problems, if anybody will be charged, so they're doing an investigation. I don't see how and why, but yes, they are. Now, Charlamagne. Charlamagne? This means that he has

nothing. No, no, this is good. This is good. Now, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Let me tell you about Jen Shah. Now, Jen Shah, Jen Shah, right now, she's on the show, and she has everything on the show. Let me break it down. Jen Shah, she looks super duper rich. She got assistance upon assistance.

Her assistants have assistance. She got bread. Everybody been trying to figure out, how is she making all this money? Nobody knows. Even on the show, when they ask, they be like, I got businesses, darling. So, nobody knows. Even on the show, when they ask, they'd be like, I got businesses, darling. So nobody knows. Well, she was arrested. You want to know why?

Why? All right, because it looks like allegedly she was busted in Salt Lake City for having a conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Now, allegedly, she has a telemarketing scheme with her and her assistant and they target elderly people. So she's been arrested. So that's where people are saying that she's been getting the money. She's been scamming it from elderly people.

That's the best that you got? You don't care? You called my name and got my attention. You don't care? That's good. You don't watch the show. People be like, she got all this money. She got all these cars,

all this jewelry she got. All this Louis Vuitton and Hermes and Fendi and this, that, and the other. People are like, well, how do you get your money? And she just says, I have businesses, darling. Now she's allegedly scamming the elderly. No, you don't care? All right.

Forget you. And lastly, United Masters, that's Steve Stout record label. It's an independent label. Okay. Announced a $50 million investment by Apple. All right. And here's Steve Stout talking about it. Typically, artists that are independent

don't feel like they have the same opportunities as the artists that are signed to legacy labels. This is going to sort of give every artist the same opportunity, democratize the music business for that matter. So yes, you're going to see a lot of cross-promotion and marketing that comes from Apple with United Masses artists.

Not that they're not going to do with every other artist but it now gives us an opportunity allow our artists to get the same promotion and marketing as artists that are on major labels yeah steve's got to be on breakfast club tomorrow i got questions you know what i mean like i want to know how much of that 50 million dollars is actually going to the artists you know i mean is that how much of that 50 million is actually going to marketing and promo how how will that 50 million dollars benefit the artists it seems like like you said it's going to be a lot of marketing a lot of cross promotion you'll see a lot of artists wearing apple products in their videos and apple will be paying for that i'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of billboards uh how do you spread the money out though how many 50 million spread out over how many artists we'll find out when ste Steve Stout comes to work. Yeah, I want to know.

Yeah, all right. Make sure this isn't a money play and somebody's getting rich but the artist is getting crumbs. All right. Well, that is your rumor report.

Now, Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to? We need Greg Kelly to come to the front of the congregation. We need to have a word with him. Remember, Greg Kelly used to be on the news

here in New York City but now I think he's on Newsweek or something like that. We need to talk to him because he's against plant-based medicine. Okay. Meaning weed. And we need to talk about it. All right. We'll get to that next.

And don't forget after that, ask C&E. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, he is out, so we'll do it. All right.

The practice club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years that donkey of the day is a new one. Okay, this could be an April Fool's joke. I'm not sure. But donkey of the day for Thursday, April 1st goes to Newsmax anchor Greg Kelly. Greg Kelly is a man who doesn't like weed, marijuana, cannabis, pot, grass, ganja, whatever you want to call it. He's not with it. This is Greg Kelly and Dr. Kevin Sabet on his Newsweek show talking about refers.

Plural. Listen, New York state legalizes the recreational use of marijuana. And we join more than a dozen other states now where you can light up for no other reason at all than to get high personally i think this is a very very bad move uh doctor first to you you're not cool with this right this is a bad thing i know all kind of gateway drug all that stuff not to mention all the mental health uh issues yeah it's a really bad idea. You know, today's marijuana is not your woodstock weed of the past. Let me tell you something. I am not a weed head by any means, okay? Your Uncle Sharla, when I was a young lad growing up in Moncks Corner, South Carolina,

dropping the clues bombs from Moncks Corner, South Carolina, I used to smoke a lot of weed. In fact, myself and some of my partners, when we was in our teens, we called ourselves the infamous Buddha heads. We all took weed like names. There was Bobby Buddha, Ichabodism, Mikey Marijuana, to name a few. Me, well, I was Charlie Chronic. What I didn't realize back then was I was shut up.

Don't judge me. I was young. What I didn't realize back then was I was prone to having severe anxiety attacks. The weed was not helping that. I just didn't know what it was back then. And I just thought it was the life I was living along with the weed. Extreme paranoia just came with the territory. And when I saw Chris Tucker, you know, playing smoky on Friday, hiding out in the chicken coop after smoking some weed, I said, oh, so it's just perfectly normal for me to be paranoid, scared and go hide out in the woods just because.

But then I went to jail for assault and barredy with intent to kill. If you want to know why, it's in my New York Times bestseller, Black Privilege. I've told you this story a million times. No need to rehash. But while on probation, it just became too much of a hassle to smoke and stay clean. So I was doing everything from golden seal to catch claw. I had partners telling me they would give me their piss, but it was just all too much. So I just quit smoking. Okay, weed or prison, easy choice for me. But then every now and again, I would attempt to do it. And that's when I realized smoking weed is just really not for me because it makes my anxiety go through the roof.

Back then I had no idea. But now I fully understand. And to this day, if I smoke weed, I have panic attacks. Now, edibles. That's another story. I can do edibles. OK, I don't know what it is about the edibles versus the smoking, but the right dosage of edibles. My God, 10 milligrams, 20, no more than 30 of a nice indica strain. It's heaven. OK, I will lay around the house on the weekend when the kids go to sleep high off plant based medicine. No anxiety, no stress, eating everything and sleep.

Man, the sleep is fantastic. So, yes, I'm saying all that to say I am a fan of plant based medicine. On a bigger note, I am happy that all these states are legalizing weed, especially the two states I spend the most time in, which is New Jersey and New York. Not only do I want weed legalized, I want every brother and sister who is in jail for a nonviolent weed offense to come home. All the folks who because all these tough on crime drug bills that Joe Biden wrote, by the way, I want them home. If you are in a state where weed is legal. But you know, this is America. We all don't think the same. So we have the Greg Kellys of the world. And the reason Greg Kelly is getting donkier today

is not because he's against weed being legalized recreationally. I don't care about that. It's his opinion. He's getting donkey because of this tweet he posted. Listen, this is Greg Kelly. If you don't believe me, his Twitter handle is Greg Kelly USA. Could be an April Fool's tweet because it's that stupid. But he tweeted and I quote, smoking weed, a.k.a. grass, is not a good idea.

I've tried it back in the day and it was worse in capital letters than anything that happened to Hunter Biden. I don't know exactly what that means. I do know Hunter Biden just revealed he's battled addiction his whole life, alcohol and drugs. In fact, Hunter Biden said he was smoking crack every 15 minutes. It's in his new memoir, Beautiful Things. So I guess he's saying weed was worse than anything that happened to Hunter Biden. That's false. But then he goes on to say, I talked up with some buddies in Kentucky

and woke up in Nairobi, Kenya, with no idea what happened. Oh, did I leave out this part? He said he woke up four days later in Nairobi, Kenya, with no idea what happened. So you smoke weed with your buddies in Kentucky and woke up four days later in Nairobi, Kenya. And then you put don't do drugs.

Greg Kelly, you smoked weed in Kentucky and woke up four days later in Nairobi, Kenya. Now, I don't know what part of Kentucky you are in, but I know Louisville, Kentucky is 8,013 miles away from Nairobi, Kenya. I Googled it. Okay, the flight time is 16 hours and 32 minutes, but forget how long it takes to get there. You said you didn't wake up until four days later. That is what the kids call cap all right great kelly i'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary nor am i the strongest avenger but i have a feeling that to you captain america is the strongest avenger great kelly what's your sign you seem like a cap raccoon okay i saw a tweet you posted about being mad McDonald's didn't have the big fish anymore,

which I thought was strange because you seem more like a cap attendees kind of guy. Greg Kelly, if you did a drug that caused you not to wake up for four days, and you ended up in Nairobi, Kenya, by way of Kentucky, you need to file a police report. Okay, there needs to be an investigation. The hardest drug I ever smoked in my life was cocaine mixed with weed. And that's because I was smoking with some dudes I didn't know from Florida. That goddamn Florida. All right. Matter of fact, that devil damn Florida. All right. Hate to tell you all this about the cocaine and weed, but it was an amazing high.

I would never do it again. Have never done it again. OK, but it was an amazing high. I'm saying all that to say I didn't pass out for four days, nor did I wake up in Kenya. OK, I don't care who you ask. Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Willie Nelson, Cheech and Chong, they will all tell you, Greg Kelly, that you a lie. Okay, look, man, if you don't want weed to be legalized, fine. If you don't think people should

smoke weed, fine. But don't make up stories that ironically make you sound high as hell. Not just make you sound high, but make you sound like you ingested some drug way stronger than weed. You need to check your boys. Because if you passed out after smoking some type of drug with them, woke up four days later in Kenya, that means they was dragging you around like Bernie's corpse.

And I wouldn't be surprised if there was a game of stinky finger plate. But you don't have to worry about that. Because it didn't happen. Stop the blood clot capping. Please giveig kelly the biggest hee haw somebody just gotta lie because they don't want you to do something you gotta make up that kind of lie just because you don't want us to do something that's never happened to nobody all right i ain't gonna front that didn't make me not want to do it that gonna make me like i smoke some weed and i end up in kenya four days later four days later That didn't make me not want to do it. That going to make me like, I smoke some weed and I end up in Kenya? Four days later?

Four days later? I ain't even get on a plane? Did I pay for this trip? So who booked the trip for me? I don't know. So nobody booked the trip? Who took my passport? Did somebody pack clothes for me?

Who did? I just magically ended up in Nairobi? Bring me that screen. I need that screen. I need that screen right now. I've been trying to go back to Africa, South Africa, Kenya. It don't matter.

Yes. On the lease together? Yes. You're not going to listen. You love that man. You ain't going nowhere. That pee-pee too good. Y'all been having too much unprotected sex.

You ain't ready to walk yet. And it's a five-year relationship, so I don't want to leave. Exactly. Yeah, but right now, he's just using you. The fact that he broke up with you, he can still sleep with you. He can still use you to take him around. You got to stop that. You got to let him know, like, look, if it's over, it's over.

I'm not driving you around. No, I'm not doing that no more. You find your new bitch to drive you around. That I agree with. You got to set boundaries. And being that he don't want to be your man, there's certain perks he don't get. So you can't be his Uber no more. Nope. You know what I i'm saying you can't give him the poom poom on demand no more you know what i mean don't cook for him none of that stuff he gotta do all that on his own treat

him like a roommate that's right that's it tell him so i guess we roommates now so treat him like a roommate i don't have sex with my roommates he gotta sleep on the couch he can't sleep with you in the same bed i don't drive my roommates to work sorry okay all right you ain't gonna listen you're gonna sleep with them tonight. You better listen. No. Watch. I'm listening.

All right, mama. You're going to sleep with them tonight. Don't lie. Good luck. No, I'm going to listen. All right. I want you to call us back next week and tell us how this went. Please.

Now, hello. Who's this? This is Erin. Hey, mama. What's up? Ask C&E. Yes. I have a question.

I want to know, do I have a right to be mad or am I being petty? Me and my fiance, we've been together for five years, and we spend literally every single holiday together. Like, we don't even have to have a conversation about it. It's just automatic. But this year for Easter, he just told me two days ago that he was going to church and then work. Without you?

At the very last minute. So he told you. He's very organized, very pumped. He is very, very organized. How long y'all been together? Five years. Five years. So wait a minute.

So you said he's going to church and going to work, hanging out with his family, and didn't tell you and invite you. Yes, I was talking about it the other day, trying to see what I was going to wear to church, and he was like, oh, no, I'm going to church, and then I'm going to work. Well, listen, he's doing something he really shouldn't be doing right now. He's breaking a rule. A rule is spending holidays with his side chicks.

His side chick invited him to church on Sunday, and he's going with her. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. It sounds kind of odd that he's not taking you to church and not taking you to work when you've been together five years. You've been doing everything with him, and now all of a sudden he doesn't want to go with you. I'm sorry to say that.

He might have another family on the side, Mom. No, I don't think he got another family because y'all been together five years. But he has been with this side chick for way too long, and he's getting too close to her, and he's going with her to church on Sunday. You go to church on Sunday. You make sure you take your ass to church with him on Sunday. And you're going to find him Easter egg hunting with another family and you're going to have

a fit. But he don't want me to come. Well, you better go. What do I mean? You got a car. You got Uber. You got money. You better pop up at that church.

If you know what I know. That's right. Pop up at that church the way Jesus popped up on Resurrection Sunday. Okay. All right. Good luck and tell us how it works out. Okay. Thank you. All right. Pop up at that church the way Jesus popped up on Resurrection Sunday. Okay. All right. Good luck, and tell us how it works out. Okay. Thank you. All right. See that? We helping lives. I love it.

Ask C&E. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, hit us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That time again. Ask Charlemagne and DJ Envy anything. Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up. It's time to ask C&E. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy,. Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up. It's time to ask C&E. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask C&E. And let the record show, our camera guy, Nick, and Dramos bought up, said that we give terrible advice. I thought it was great advice. I think it was great advice. You broke up two couples in a matter of four minutes.

Well, at least we give them a reason. We're not just telling them to leave like Angelique E. do. Angelique be like, leave. Just leave. We're giving them options. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Big Rich.

What's up, Rich, man? What's your question for C&E? Here's my thing, man. I kind of got myself into a similar entanglement maybe as this guy had described. I was at a truck stop and and we were talking about smoking, and, you know, it was a little questionable to begin with there.

What happened now? Wait a minute. You were at a truck stop with another guy. You were smoking weed, and then what happened? Well, what I thought was weed, yeah, I ended up getting a little bit more high than I thought. It went back to my rig. Oh, you found him attractive.

Hold on. Let me sit up for this one. Hold on now. You said, so you found them attractive? Yeah. Wait, you said it was attractive? Attractive. You found them attractive.

No, man. I'm going to get into detail, but I'm going to tell you that I woke up and I was entangled in the seatbelt. And this was probably 24 to 32 hours later. this was an update in New York that it had started. Oh, so you're talking about the donkey the day I gave to Greg Kelly. So something like that happened to you. Basically, my question would be, because I woke up and I felt weird. Everything smelled weird.

Charlamagne, am I responsible? What did it smell like? What did it smell like? I can't even put any details on it. I feel so uncomfortable even recalling this situation. Are you responsible for what, sir? For what had happened, man. I felt like a different person.

Well, first of all, I don't know what happened, but it sounds like you're implying that this guy took advantage of you. And no, you're not responsible. If you got high with this person, and you were high, and you don't remember what happened, and he had sex with you. He raped you. Yeah. I don't know if there was any penetration,

or if he had just gone rooting around looking for something that maybe he thought he was going to found. Well, that's where it is. Am I responsible? Do I even want to think about this situation? All I know is I was tied up. I was wrangled. So when you woke up, what position were you in?

Seriously, like, what do you remember? Did you wake up, like, and you had to pick yourself up off your stomach? Like, was you on your back? Like, where was you at? Were your pants down? Like, what happened? Yes. I mean, I had a shirt on, but the front of my head was in the cab,

and my rear end was in the back seat. So the entire truck was in his ass there. And you don't know who this guy is at all? No, I have no idea who it was. I was more confused, and I was so embarrassed about the whole thing. I told a couple of my buddies, but I've kind of become a running joke now. Yeah, you're not responsible for this. What happened to you is not your responsibility.

I don't know what to tell you other than that. You were taken advantage for it. If you could remember the guy's truck, I would definitely call the police. Yes. Because it's not right. And clearly this guy is out there doing this to you. It's not funny. You were raped.

Yes. And I think you need to call the police and get this guy arrested. And this guy has done this clearly before. Before, absolutely. You know what I mean? He was a professional. He had a plan. And it wasn't weed.

That's the only thing to look out for with this whole situation. Some people get funky. They want to get weird with it. They'll put whatever they can inside of that wrap. You can smoke on it. Let me tell you something. I respect you. And the main reason I respect you is because you're telling this story.

A lot of men don't tell this story enough. Stuff like this does happen to men. And, you know, we don't take it as seriously as we should. But I feel, I feel like you want to say April Fool's right now. I'm not going to lie, man. I'm super weird, bro. I heard what you guys were talking about. That was the first thing that popped up into my head.

There have been a couple situations that I'm basing this off of, though, where that could be true. I got a couple buddies that I've got in over their heads, and I can't go in on those stories because it probably was illegal. This is not an April Fool's joke. No. No, man. Unfortunately not, dude. It is what it is.

All right. Well, you know, I would try to think about it. I definitely would go to the police station. Maybe somebody else has left a report like that that's similar to yours, and hopefully they can catch the person that drugged you. I'm sure there's more guys with just more stories. If he was sitting at a truck stop, he'd definitely be plotting on people. And it's not your fault, bro. It's definitely not your fault, my guy.

Well, I appreciate that. If you're ever upstate, stop in the Big Richard's Small Entry Repair Shop, and I'll probably give you a 10% discount, depending on how I'm feeling that day. Appreciate you, man. All right, Tyler, small, enter the pair shop, and I'll probably give you a 10% discount depending on how I'm feeling that day, but... Appreciate you, man. All right, Tyler, man, you be good.

Don't go doing anything I didn't do, okay? I don't even know what that means. All right, man. But I can guarantee you that I won't. All right.

You're a dirty dog. All right, then. It's not your fault. I think that was the April Fool's, bro. And if it does happen, you should go to the police because...

Yes, man or woman. You were raped, absolutely, and it's, bro. And if it does happen, you should go to the police because... Yes, man or woman. You were raped. Absolutely. And it's not right. So hopefully it wasn't... Hopefully, I mean, I don't even know. Hopefully he gets the help. Hopefully he gets to the police station because I'm sure if this guy did it to him, I'm sure

he's probably done it before. And I would think that a guy... Hopefully he gets this guy off the streets because it's... I would think that a guy who does that to other guys, that's what he's banking on. He's banking on this dude will never tell. Right. You know what I mean? Because he feels embarrassed.

Absolutely. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. We'll tell you about Travis Scott. He's making a lot of money. Yep. And we'll tell you all about it. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. Now drop a bomb for Travis Scott. Why? He set a record yesterday for the highest rate of sale in a debut for any variety pack in Anheuser-Busch seltzer history. The hell are you talking about?

So you know he has this Spike seltzer that he has that came out a couple of, I think like a week ago, two weeks ago, but the sales are through the roof and he's making a lot of money off of it. These things are selling off the shelf and he's making beaucoup dollars off of it. I mean, Travis Scott makes a lot of money in endorsements and clearly we see why because his fans are rapid. They go out there and they consume the stuff he's endorsing.

You know, I was having this conversation with my son the other day and we was talking about influence and my son was like, Drake is the biggest artist. And we were going back and forth. And I was like, yeah, but I think Travis Scott has the biggest influence between the two. Maybe I'm wrong. But every time Travis Scott puts something out, it goes through the roof. Whether it's McDonald's, whether it's Jordan, whether it's Cacti, whatever he does.

He has a huge influence when it comes to items. Yeah, I can agree with that. I mean, Hov had that same kind of influence, right? Even somebody like Lil Wayne. Like when people want to look like you and they want to dress like you and they want to be you, yeah, you can pretty much sell them what you're pushing. All right. All our people trust you.

You know what I mean? They trust what you're pushing on them. Now, yesterday, Travis Scott said, I'm not going to lie, who be putting mayo on fries? Your in-laws, probably. Generous. I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

Probably. I don't know why he put that out. He says, nah, I don't eat mayo with fries. But I will say this. I had a nanny, and my nanny loved mayo with fries and used to get my children into eating the mayo with fries. But we stopped that immediately. It was like, nah, that's just disgusting. I don't like calling people nanny love mayo with fries and used to get my children into eating the mayo with fries but we stopped that immediately that's just that's just disgusting I don't like calling people nanny because I'm from Charleston South Carolina so just like you got to come up with another word and Charleston South

Carolina nanny mean doo-doo you ain't seen nanny no yes I don't like that like that I don't know nothing about it also boy boy mouch more like nanny, isn't he? Also, 2 Chainz was out and about yesterday. He was in a gas station. And when he walked out, he seen that they were bootlegging his album. They had it on CD. He was pretty pissed off about it. But he bought all the copies of his album that was in the store.

But who still plays CDs? I have no idea. I don't even know if they still do it. But they used to be in Times Square trying to sell you CDs. I'm like, who has a CD player? Yeah, that doesn't make sense. What album from 2 Chainz was they bootlegging? He got a million of them. Was it the mixtapes? So help me God. Okay, the new one. So help me God.

Now, Remy Ma, she was on Wendy Williams, and Remy says, I did not shoot nobody. And I believe him. When you went to prison, you did it for shooting a woman. No. See, this is the thing. Everyone that is in prison is not guilty. The same way everybody that's walking around in the streets is not innocent.

Did not know this girl. Wasn't my best friend. All of these things that was said over these years were not true. But once you're in prison, no one cares. And once you come home, I'm not going to spend the rest of my life trying to prove to people, like, I didn't know this person. I found out her last name when y'all found out when y'all read it in the newspaper. Was there a reason for you shooting her, or did you have a gun and it just died? I didn't shoot anybody.

Whatever Remy said she didn't do, she didn't do it. I believe it. Okay? Respect Miss Mackie. Drop on the clues bombs for Miss Mackie, goddammit. Love Remy Ma, you hear me? Shout out to Remy Ma. Slutty, slutty, my guy, Pat Poose. Peace, God damn it. Love Remy Ma, you hear me? Shout out to Remy Ma. Slip to my guy, Pat Poose. Peace,

God. Pat, what up? Now, also, lastly, 21 Savage, he said to executive

produce Spiral. Now, from the book of Saw. Now, this is a produced horror film from Chris Rock and 21 Savage

is doing the soundtrack, which is pretty dope. Love 21 Savage. 21 Savage get busy. That makes so much sense because 21 Savage has a, he has a supervillain vibe to him. You know what I mean?

But they're like a good supervillain though. Like Magneto almost. Yeah, so the film will be out May 14th and the soundtrack is produced by 21 Savage. Like I said, Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson are in it and I can't wait to see it. I can't wait to check it out. Yeah, I don't usually watch horror movies.

You know what I'm saying? I don't pay people to scare me't wait to check it out. Yeah, I don't usually watch horror movies. You know what I'm saying? I don't pay people to scan me. Gotta support Chris Rock, though. Yeah, I want to see what Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson do with that horror franchise, though. Yeah. All right. And that is your rumor report.
