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

What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. We need help! That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts

that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you love to hate. From the east to the west coast. DJ Envy. Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. The realest show on the planet. This is why I respect this show because this is a voice to society. Changing the game. You guys are the coveted morning show. But y'all earn it.

Impacting the culture. They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that breakfast call. The world's most dangerous morning show. We in the mother. We in the house! Good morning to you. How are you? It's Wednesday, Hump Day,

middle of the week. Good morning. Yes, man. How you guys feeling this morning? Uh, I feel disheveled. Yeah, he's a little disheveled. I called you this morning. We have a guest and I didn't know if the guest sent their book up here. So I called you. I'm like, did you get the book? He's like, hello, I just

woke up. He woke me up this morning at 5.15. Yeah, he sent those books months ago. Oh yeah, I didn't get it. He actually sent the galley months ago and then he sent the hardcover a couple weeks ago. No, I didn't get it. So he woke up. She was like, I just woke up. I'm like, yeah, it's 5.20. He's still here though. One of my favorite people

actually. He's a great brother. But I'm blessed black and highly favored. I like my Palo Santo. If you don't know who we're talking about, we're talking about Shaka Senghor. Yes. Yes. He'll be joining us this weekend. He had a book out before, Writing My Wrongs, I believe it was called, right?

Yeah. Writing My Wrongs. And now he has another book out. Yeah. So he'll be joining us this week. And I was looking for the book so I can do my homework and I was like, damn, I didn't get the book. This morning? No, I didn't but I was just asking because I didn't see it. Did y'all do anything fun yesterday?

Fun? Uh, no. I did. What? I actually went to go look at a space for a second coffee shop for me to open. Okay, that's fun. It actually was fun. It was a long drive though. It's in Brooklyn but it's like an hour away from where I live, so

that was the unfun part. But yeah, that was actually really fun. I enjoyed things like that. Why were you disheveled this morning? Because you were sleepy? Because he woke me up at 5.15 and I just got here. Oh, so she had to rush to get here. Yeah. I had to hop in the shower so fast, throw on a sweatsuit and run out the door. I don't believe you took a shower. I don't rush for nothing. I definitely shower. I salute to everybody out there

that don't rush when they late for work. Yeah,'t believe you took a shower. I don't rush for nothing when it comes to stuff like that. I definitely showered. Sleuth everybody out there that don't rush when they late for work. Yeah, we know you don't rush. Okay. All right. Because it ain't going to make anything faster. It did. It got in here on time.

You'll get there when you get there. It is that I always get here early. So for me waking up late and being late is being on time. All right. Did you do anything fun yesterday?

Who, me? Yeah. Yes, I was alive. Okay. I was alive breathing this beautiful air that, you know, God has blessed us with. I keep telling y'all, take a deep breath for everybody out there who cannot, all right? That's enough for me, all right?

Being alive is enough for me. I thank God for another day of life, and I think everybody out there should do the same. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, let's make sure that white people aren't uncomfortable in Florida from their racist past. We'll tell you about a bill that is being pushed by Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

How can you not be uncomfortable in Florida? What do I always say? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Alright, well let's get to the next... The only reason you're not uncomfortable is because you don't realize you're in Florida. Alright, it's the Breakfast Club. Play that in front page news. That's the Breakfast Club. Come on.

Play that in front page news. That's a really good execution of the word. I haven't heard the N-word executed like that in a long time. That sounded crazy. And we in America, so that says a lot. Maybe because I'm used to hearing it the American way. So to hear it the Chinese way is kind of incredible. All right.

Can we play that for the people? Eddie! Get the Chinese people saying nigga. Wow. They say, well, let's get into some front page news. You got it? I'll get it to you, Eddie. Where we starting? Well, let's start with the

Omicron variant. Now, right now, they are saying that it looks like it might be going away. Well, it might be okay. It might be going away soon. Dr. Fauci is saying we might have seen the worst of COVID. But right now they are giving away millions of N95 masks that have been gathered from the national stockpile. And so that will be given out through pharmacies and other community sites in a plan that will be unveiled today. The other thing that's been happening, I don't know if you all got these messages all day yesterday of people telling you how you can get a free at-home COVID test.

But that is something that has also just been launched. So now you can get a free COVID test. They said today it was actually supposed to launch. Yesterday was the beta testing. So these free home tests are coming from different retailers. If you have private insurance, you can buy tests online or in stores and have them paid for at the time of purchase. Or you can get reimbursed by submitting a claim to your insurer. But they also launched this program where you can have them sent to you.

They said there were some issues, though, with the site. Some people were having problems. Everybody was sending me that link yesterday. Yeah, I got it from like 50 people. Yeah, I thought it was a scam because I got it so many times. I did, too. Some people had issues. Like they were told their tests were already ordered for their address so the request could not be completed. Some people

lived in apartment buildings and it said that they had already been sent to that address. Others said they live in private residences but still it didn't come because they said no one else in the household had used the site but people on the side it was giving them that response that it was already ordered to that address. You don't feel like these people be turning us up and down like a thermostat. It's like two weeks ago, it was, you know, so much fear mongering and we're all going to die. You know, Omicron is going to kill us all. Now, two weeks later, we think it's going away. I feel like they've always said that Omicron was less dangerous.

That's not what Joe Biden said in the fall. It was more transmissible. Joe Biden said in the fall that if all of us don't go out there and get vaccinated, we're going to be severely ill or die. Well, Omicron wasn't here then. December? What are you talking about?

It was December 16th when Joe Biden said this. I think it was Delta and then Omicron started spreading. No, absolutely not. And they said Omicron wasn't as dangerous as Delta for most people. Omicron was definitely here. Why are y'all still listening to the president?

It's not just the president, though. It's Fauci. It's the CDC director. But you don't feel like they turn this up and turn this down when they want to?

They are confused like we are. But I think it's also mutating, so things are changing all the time. Yesterday, Fauci just said that he thinks this is the last one. He said,

unless a certain scenario happens. What's the scenario? Up, up, down, down, left, right, select, start, A, B? B, A, B, A, select, start. What's the next? Up, up, down, down, left, right, select, start, A, B? B, A, B, A, select, start. What's the next scenario? Well, I think if there's another variant that proves to be dangerous.

Yesterday he said he thinks it's the last wave. Yeah, that's what he said he thinks. I don't even know what that means. I just don't know what that means no more. It's just like, what happened? It's just like they turn us up and down whenever they want to. So maybe it'll be like the flu moving forward where it's something that's still around but it's controllable. And you know, vaccines

help and then they've developed that pill that if you do get it, you can take this pill and they're working on things. So it's a work in progress. Alright, well that, I wanted to tell you guys about this bill that they're trying to pass in Florida. We got two minutes. And this bill is being pushed by Republican

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. This would prohibit public schools and private businesses from making white people feel discomfort when they teach students or train employees about discrimination in the nation's past. So they've gotten their first approval so far. They're trying to take aim, as you know, at critical race theory, even though they don't mention it explicitly. Republicans are in favor and Democrats are against this bill. How do you make somebody comfortable if they're not comfortable with what we're talking about? If it's true and they're uncomfortable,

I don't see what the problem is. It's not our fault. DeSantis is saying he would seek legislation that would let parents sue schools and employees sue employers if they were subject to these type of teachings. How did they just pass all these wild bills but the most important bills they can't pass.

Oh, this is state stuff. Still, the white people uncomfortable bill? The white people uncomfortable bill. The white people uncomfortable bill sounds wild. Jesus Christ. Goodness gracious. Alright, well that is your Front Page News.

What you about to hear? Nah, don't even do it. Jesus Christ. Goodness gracious. All right. Well, that is your Front Page News. Go ahead. What you about to hear? Nah, don't even do it. No, we got to set it up later. We'll put it in more context. That's right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent. Did you get the curses? Because there's a couple of curses in there. All right. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent. Did you get the curses? Because there's a couple curses in there. All right. 888-51051. Get it off your chest.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's going on?

It's your boy Tony Ward from the DMV. Good morning to y'all. Tony, what up from the DMV? Get it off your chest, brother. Hey, a curiosity question this morning. Yes, sir. I was out about yesterday at a, I don't know, a fast food place. And a blind guy came in and he couldn't make an order

because he didn't know what the menu was. So I said, next time I talk to the breakfast club, I'm going to see what they're talking about here. You should have got Michael Todd to spit in his eye. Shut up, man. See if he can make the blind man see. That didn't work. Go ahead, brother.

Hey, DJ, it was like at the car show, right? Yes. What do you think about having a pamphlet or any type of booklet to describe cars and Braille? That's an idea. That's an idea. And, Charlamagne, I'm not sure if you already have done it. Are your books in Braille? No, but they're in audio.

They're audio. We got audio books. You can go get any of my books in audio. Black Privilege, Shook One. You can get Tameka Mallory my books in audio. Black Privilege, Shook One. You can get Tamika Mallory's book in audio from Black Privilege Publishing. Anita Kopach, Shallow Waters. Audio. Audio is the wave. I mean, I actually listen to more books than I do read them nowadays.

Okay. And Adderley, what about a menu for your juice bars in Braille? You said you want the menu in Braille? He was asking about blind people. He was saying, what about, you know, can they come to the car show and they have descriptions in Braille. You said you want the menu in Braille? He was asking about blind people. He was saying what about, you know, can they come to the car show and they have descriptions in Braille and when they come to the coffee shop or juice bar can they have something in Braille? I'm not gonna lie, we barely

have regular menus. That's true. That's not in Braille. But you can ask, they can always ask the people. Yeah. That's the best way, bro. But yeah, maybe we'll look more into that. You know, it's wild, right, when you think about it. You don't see too many concessions made for blind people. Like, you know, we live in a society,

you'll see ramps for people in wheelchairs and things like that, but you don't really see, like, too many concessions for blind people, and you would think you would see more of that just in everyday life. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. How are you? Hey, what's up, bro? Get off your chest. I just want to give a quick shout-out to myself. I just got my email yesterday saying that my NYU degree for my master's is coming in next week.

Nice. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. And I'm trying to get my thesis published. So we're doing a little crowdfunding. And it's the last day between today and tomorrow. So I just want to give a little shout-out.

Give the people your info. Yes. So it's called Bodega Cookbooks. You can find it on Instagram called Bodega Cookbooks. You can find it on Instagram, Bodega Cookbooks. And it's basically just a conception of a bunch of bodega recipes in New York City and trying to bring focus to what they're doing. First of all, what the hell is a bodega recipe? It's like how to make a good bacon, egg, and cheese?

Bacon, egg, and cheese, chopped cheese, smoothie. So that's like a really big. A bacon, egg, and cheese smoothie? I think his phone dropped out. A bacon, egg, and cheese, chopped cheese, smoothies. So that's like a really big. A bacon, egg, and cheese smoothie. I think his phone dropped out. A bacon, egg, and cheese smoothie? Well, no, not a bacon, egg, and cheese smoothie. They're making smoothies. Oh.

Trying to like, you know, give them back. And trying to support our health now. So that's like the new move. Okay. I got you. All right, brother. I appreciate it, guys. Have a good day.

Good luck. Thank you. Get it off your chest. 8005-85-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. 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. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 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 Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?

No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help!

We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

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.

Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Good morning, Envy. Charlamagne, how you doing? Peace, King. How are you?

I'm good, man. I just got my case dismissed after like a whole year. So I'm feeling real good now. You got your what back? His case dismissed. Oh, case dismissed. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I'm back in the gym now. This is your what back? His case dismissed. His case dismissed. Oh, case dismissed. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I'm back in the gym now.

This is my 13th day going this whole month. So I'm starting to feel real good about that. Oh, man, congratulations, brother. Health is wealth, man, physically and mentally and spiritually. Absolutely. The only dilemma I'm facing, though, is just my job put me on unpaid leave a week before my case got dismissed. So I'm just waiting for paperwork so I can go back.

That's the only thing holding me. But other than that, I'm good. All right, brother. God is good. Absolutely. God is great, actually. Cheeseburgers are good. Hello, who's this?

It's called Sloppy Loop. Mama, you got to give him the Instagram. What's his producer name? Hakuna Matata? No. His name is Kelsey. K-E-L underscore C-1000.

Very underwhelming to have an emcee named Kumbaya and a producer named Kelsey. Unless his beats are incredible. No, but that's his government name, Kelsey. That's right. That's his first name. That's how you're supposed to ride for your man. Absolutely. Absolutely.

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 iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts this is the rumor report with angela yee all right bro rest in peace to fashion icon and Leontali. He has passed away at 73.

According to a source, they said that he was at a hospital in White Plains, New York, and they're unclear exactly what he was battling in the hospital, but he was Vogue's former creative director, and he was the one-time editor-at-large there. He was very instrumental to Vogue's vision and direction in the 80s and 90s. He worked his way up the ranks at the magazine to become the news director and then Vogue's creative director. So he held that post for about seven or so years.

And he was really close with Anna Wintour. He worked side by side with her. And he was also an LGBT icon. Yeah. Rest in peace, Andre Leon Towers. 73 years old. Yep, sending healing energy to his family. 73 is young.

Yes, indeed. Very young. All right, now, according to reports at page six, they said a bidding war is about to kick off for Gayle King. Her contract is up at CBS in May, and multiple rival networks are lining up to try to sign her. She's 67 years old. She earns around $9 million a year as an anchor on CBS Mornings.

They're saying she may want to give up that early shift or she may want to move to the West Coast where she can be with her family. And also Oprah Winfrey is based out there as well. So they said the MSNBC could possibly put in a huge bid to have Gayle take over Rachel Maddow's vacant nightly slot. Rachel Maddow left? She's on in the morning, isn't she? No, Rachel Maddow's vacant nightly slot. Rachel Maddow left? She's on in the morning, isn't she? No, Rachel Maddow comes on at night.

I always watch her in the morning. Maybe it's a repeat. Rachel Maddow? Yeah. Oh yeah, Rachel Maddow comes on at night. She comes on at what, 9? 8 or 9? They said that slot is vacant right now. Interesting. I thought she was I didn't know she left. Yeah, I was watching her on the news yesterday.

So we'll see what happens, but I'm sure everybody wants to. Back that Brinks truck up for Gayle King. Drop on a clue bomb for Gayle King. Gayle King deserves it all. He does. Okay. All right, now, Partisan Fontaine has addressed rumors that he and Meg Thee Stallion broke up, and there was a rumor going around that she was a mean drunk,

and so he said, stop this cap. Nobody putting hands on nobody, at least not in that way. Been seeing the breakup rumors. I was letting y'all imaginations run, but y'all getting too crazy. He said, you know, he didn't give a story, so they made one up. He said, we've really been on it double time. And so that's in response to those rumors. And I had seen those places that they had broken up, but he's saying it's not true.

All right. Now, Pete Davidson has higher security. And that's all after this Kanye West situation. You know, Kanye has that song with the gang called Easy where he says this. God sent me from that crash just so I could beat Pete Davidson's ass. All right. So what they're saying is it's not necessarily that he thinks Kanye is going to run up on him and beat him up. It's more because of Kanye's fans. Somebody might do something stupid.

So he wants to make sure that he has security with him. Yeah, he's smart. Absolutely right. There's a lot of crash test dummies out here looking to go viral. And sad it has to be that way. But, you know, Pete has to get more security because of Kanye's insecurity. All right. Now, 2022 Grammys has been rescheduled after a postponement because of COVID-19.

So it was originally going to be airing January 31st, and they postponed that. So now they are saying that Trevor Noah will return as the host, and they're going to broadcast that live ceremony on Sunday, April 3rd, and that'll be from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Vegas. That's never happened before. All right, and Jay-Z and Meek Mill are teaming up. They want to block rap lyrics from being used in court. Some other people have also proposed a bill to pass this proposed bill called Rap Music on Trial,

and so people like Meek Mill, Jay-Z, along with Fat Joe, Big Sean, Yo Gotti, Kelly Rowland, Killer Mike, Robin Thicke, and others are saying that you should not be able to do that and stop prosecutors from using those rap lyrics as purported blueprints to alleged crimes. How do we feel about this? Let's discuss. What do you think?

We could talk about it next hour. 800-585-1051. What do you think right now? I think if it has to do with the crime that they committed. If I kill somebody and they rap about, hey, I just killed Tommy and I'm stuck on the trunk. That's your dumb ass. That's your dumb ass. But if we're just talking about using old lyrics and just stuff that I'm basically just

spitting about, rapping about, that has nothing to do with any case that's out there, I don't think they should be able to use those things. Yeah, I mean, it's tricky, right? Because hip hop is a genre that prides itself on being real, when the reality is 95% of things that are said, especially from the era we grew up in, was just entertainment. Correct.

People beefing with each other, they might say something about somebody, and then if something happens, it gets put on you. Right. And it's weird, right? Because the culture actually shamed rappers if they weren't living their lyrics. In hindsight, that was beyond stupid.

It should have always just been entertainment. It should have always just been pushed as fictional storytelling. But, yeah, to Envy's point, you know, I think Jay and Meek should be telling these brothers to stop incriminating themselves in their music. Yeah, you got to be a damn fool to do a crime. I just moved 32 bricks, and you really did? Okay. But you can tell why they did it, though,

because all these real street dudes were like, oh, people getting money off our lifestyle, we might as well rap, too. So they started rapping and telling their real life and started really talking about things they were really doing in the street. And then when they get jammed up, that stuff gets used against them in court.

All right, well, we'll talk about that more. You guys marinate on that. And somebody need to ask Jay-Z the magic question. What? Did you really get 92? Did you really lose 92 bricks? He said he did. He said he did.

No, was it just entertainment? No, he said that was true. He did? Yes. Where? Didn't he respond on Twitter? I don't know, but I want to know. Y'all don't be making stuff up here.

I ain't never heard him say it was true. He said it was true. Absolutely said it was true. Remember, he could be wearing a wire. Pat him down, Red. Who? Me. You.

What you mean? That's old cases. That's over 20 years. He also said it's all entertainment. Well, he has to say that. Wow, you a rat for real. Jesus Christ. What's up with you, man?

I seen a body. Wow! What are you talking about? I know about a body. Could you close this, please? Jesus Christ. No, let him keep going. We got the tape rolling.

Keep going. Go ahead. Anything else you want to go on the record with? When's the last time you did jury duty? Wow. I actually just got called into jury duty, and they made me call. I know. I called in every day like I was supposed to.

I know you got called. I called in every day like I was supposed to, but I never got. My number didn't come up, so I didn't have to go in yet. But I did supposed to. I know you got calls. I called in every day like I was supposed to, but I never got, my number didn't come up, so I didn't have to go in yet. But I did my responsibility, yes. Yeah, your number's going to get called up. That's fine with me.

I call those people. Jesus Christ, man. That's fine with me. I have no problem serving jury duty. There you go. Somebody did call me yesterday and said he think

Amy would play a good cop in a movie role. I'm not even joking. Yeah? I'm dead serious. How much they got? I don't know, but you might be getting an offer. Send me up.

I'm not lying. Send me up. Send me up. Great snitch. Send me up. Send me up. That's what you do, right? Yep.

All right. Well, that's your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Ye. Now, front page news, what are we talking about? Yes, this abandoned home with no bedrooms sold for $2 million. Where could this be? All right.

We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Hey, what up y'all? It's DJ Envy here. It's all fun and games till someone screenshots your message. Say goodbye to morning after guilt with Dat Chat. This new encrypted

All right. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Let's get into some front page news. Let's start off with sports. Now, Dak Prescott, he had to apologize. They were talking to him about the fans throwing the trash on the field. Why do y'all keep talking about my Cowboys, man? And at first, I guess he said it was good. And they said he wasn't throwing the trash at the players. They were throwing it at the officials.

And he had to apologize for saying that was a good thing. No, it's not. I understand fans and the word fan for fanatic. I get that. But to know everything that we put into this day in and day out, try our hardest. Nobody comes in in the game expecting to lose. For people to react that way when you're supposed to be a supporter

and be with us through thick and thin, that's tough. I believe they were gaming at the referees. Credit to them then. Why are we playing this? So he apologized for saying credit to the fans for throwing the trash at the referees. Now, maybe the referees to the fans for throwing the trash at the referees.

Now, maybe the referees need a trash too at them. Would the referees trash that game? I'm not going to sit here and blame the referees we lost. Salute to the 49ers. But, yo, don't act like officials don't be doing some trash things, all right? That might not have been for that game. That might have been for the whole year. What else we got, Yeezy?

The poor officiating. All right. So an abandoned townhouse in San Francisco, which is described on sale as the worst house on the best block, went for sale for $1.97 million. It has zero bedrooms, mismatched floors, boarded up windows. The staircase looks like it's going to collapse. 2,100 square feet, $1.97 million. Can you call it a house if it ain't got no bedrooms? That's not like an office building or something. It's really small and it's abandoned.

So they said they didn't even expect to get that much for it, but they did. Where is that again? It's in San Francisco. Okay. Ain't no bedrooms. It's just a barn. Yeah. If you see the pictures of it, man, the kitchen looks old.

And TripAdvisor has released their most popular world destination for 2022. So, if you can guess, what is number one on that list of the most popular, highest rated overall places? The whole world? I have no idea. Well, number three on the list is Cancun.

Number two is London. And number one on the list is Dubai. So, if anybody wants to take a trip, they said that's a popular spot Number two is London. And number one on the list is Dubai. Mm-hmm. Hmm. So if anybody wants to take a trip, they said that's a popular spot. It's been slowly rising in the ranks over the past few years. Dubai. And now it is the number one most popular destination in the world.

Dubai is very nice. I feel like everybody's been going to Dubai for that. Dubai is very nice. It's just a long flight, but it's very nice. Well, if you want to go to Dubai, you have to present a negative PCR test within 72 hours of arrival. And that's trimmed down to 48 hours, depending on where you're coming from, by the way, if you're traveling from high-risk places. So just make sure before you go anywhere, you check what the regulations are. Is Dubai a high-risk place?

I'm not sure how high-risk it is in there. And you cannot smoke weed you cannot bring weed you will go to jail in Dubai who got locked up there that's what a 56 nights came from and then do you know for the United States

what the most searched for travel to place one of the favorite places to travel to in the United States, what the most searched for travel to place? One of the favorite places to travel to in the United States? Alabama. Miami. Actually, Miami's number eight on the list. New York is number five. Atlanta. Atlanta is not on the list, but Savannah, Georgia is on the list.

Oh, Savannah's beautiful. Drop on a clue, man, for Savannah, Georgia. Beautiful city, Savannah is. I know Charleston got to be up there. Charleston, South Carolina. It's not in the top ten. What? Number three is Maui in Hawaii.

Number two is Oahu in Hawaii. I didn't even think about Hawaii. That's the United States? Yes. Stop it. I don't even know. This guy's crazy. I thought you had to have a passport to go to Hawaii.

No, you don't. What's wrong with you? Wow. And number one on the list is Las Vegas. Ooh. Why? For gambling?

People like to gamble. Yeah. All right, well, that is your front page news. Who's two and three? I'm intrigued in America. I just told you. I just told you.

Hawaii. I thought you was naming one. Hawaii and Hawaii. I said number three. I said number two on the list. Number four is Key West, Florida. Five is New York. Number six is New Orleans, which I love too. I said number two on the list. Number four is Key West, Florida. Five is New York. Number six is New Orleans,

which I love too. Seven is Savannah. Eight is Miami. Nine is Nashville, Tennessee. And ten is Sedona and Arizona. Love Nashville. Nashville is beautiful.

All right. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Now, you were telling me

about this. You were telling us about this initiative with Jay and Meek, right? Yes, they're teaming up. They want to block rap lyrics from being used in court. And so they've teamed up with people along with Fat Joe, Big

Sean, Yo Gotti, Kelly Rowland, Killer Mike, Robin Thicke, and others. They want New York lawmakers to pass that bill called Rap Music on Trial. So they want to make sure that prosecutors aren't using these lyrics to try to prosecute people all right what are your thoughts on this eight hundred five eight five one oh five one let's talk about it well now if you remember key and pill did a skit for Comedy Central where this is exactly what

happened in these rap lyrics what I care about is that I 100% know that you murdered Darnell Simmons so you better. Yeah, but you ain't got none. I, you know, I'm actually, I'm very glad that you said that. Because I respectfully, I beg to differ. I killed Darnell, yeah, I shot him with my knife. I shot him nine times, 9 p.m. on the dime. And by the way, it was November night. Yeah, it's kind of

hard to not use that in court. A little bit of imagination. Well, at the end of this, Giddy did end up getting off. Yeah, it's kind of hard to say that's just entertainment. And some of these lyrics do be like that. Super explicit. But a lot of that is our fault, though, because, you know, we

prided, you know, we actually used to shame rappers if they weren't living their lyrics you know what I mean if they weren't being real right you know

alright well let's talk about it when we come back it's The Breakfast Club good morning The Breakfast Club it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about an initiative that Jay-Z and Meek Mill are trying to do. And what's that, Yee? They want to block rap lyrics from being used in court by prosecutors. Okay. And we're asking 805-85-1051.

What are your opinions? What are your thoughts on it? Let's start with you, Yee. What do you think? I think it depends. It's a case-by-case thing. You know, lyrics are a form of self-expression. It's creativity.

It's entertainment. But if it's, like, very specific and you're basically naming names and describing how you did something and it's exactly how it happened. Which a lot of rappers do sometimes. Well, I ain't going to say a lot, but rappers have done before. Right. But sometimes if you have beef with somebody and you say something in a rhyme and it just happens to be a coincidence. That's something different.

Then that's something different. But if you talk about you shot somebody on the 5th and you were wearing a blue shirt and they had a red shirt. Well, damn, Envy. If that was the case, nah, you need to go to jail. Yeah, I agree. It's all case by case basis, man. I think we should be telling these brothers to stop incriminating themselves in their music.

You know what I'm saying? All these real street dudes who saw all these people making all this money off rap, so they decided to start rapping and started talking about the things that they were really doing in the street. They don't need to be encouraged to do that in any way, shape, or form. And, you know, like I said earlier, hip-hop is a genre that prides itself that they were really doing in the street, they don't need to be encouraged to do that in any way, shape, or form. And, you know, like I said earlier, hip-hop is a genre that prides itself on being real. But, you know, the reality is most of these rappers are lying, okay?

And have always historically lied. And they should have told us it was entertainment from the start. And they should have told us it was fictional storytelling from the start. But I respect the initiative, but it's really, really on a case-by-case basis. I think so. Like, you can't... Like, the way these guys are now, where they really are detailing...

By the way, not just detailing it, showing you that they did it on Instagram and then rapping about it. Correct. So it's really on a case-by-case basis.

Yeah. Like you said. Or the thing that they actually took from somebody. They're wearing the chain that they... Oh, my God. Some of these people

snitch on themselves. You don't wear the chain after you just robbed somebody and shot them and you got the chain. Oh, my God. Some of these people snitch on themselves. You don't wear the chain after you just robbed somebody and shot them and you got the chain on? Yeah, I can't get in the way. Or wear the watch? Like, come on. I respect Jay and Meek's initiative, but I can't get in the way of these stupid people

self-snitching on themselves. I really can't. Like, why would I get in the way of these stupid people self-snitching on themselves? If they want to commit crimes and then incriminate themselves via music or social media, let them. I agree. Like like why are you getting

in the way of the police all right i agree you know what if i was the feds i'll be sitting back like you know what ask mr carter if he really lost 92 bricks and got them all back that's what we need to know oh boy hello who's this brother michael forehead jacksonville florida brother michael forehead what's up brother michael Michael Forehead? You said Michael Forehead? 4X. Oh, 4X. I was like, what? Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. Brother Michael Forehead. Oh, NOI. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. NOI. Yes, sir. As-salamu alaykum, brother.

Wa-alaykum-salam. There's four of us in our city, and I'm the fourth one. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. All right, brother. So go ahead, man. What's your thoughts? I agree with what Jay and Meek want to do.

However, I think the first people that they need to talk to is the rappers, especially our young brothers. That's right. You know, it's nothing wrong with talking about your struggle, where you came from, what you've been through, but it should be, we should put a, we should put a flag on ourselves as to what we say and what we don't say if we know the government if we know the court

and we know the government has been doing this for years then we should take the initiative to stop go ahead and petition them but at the same time we should be proactive and we should be changing the narrative in terms of what we say, how we say it, when we say it and where we say it

yeah it's too much celebration of the drug culture. It's too much glorification of the gang culture. And the change starts with them, right? Like, is Meek going to stop rapping about street stuff? I'm just saying. Like, is Meek going to stop rapping about the things that he's done or may have done? Like, I don't know.

Like, it starts with you, right? But if it's your real life and you really did things... And it's a statute of limitations, right, of what you can talk about and how you grew up. But if there's an open case to something that you did that could put you in jail for life

or something you're about to do, you're a damn fool. Mm-hmm. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, guys? This is Tyler. How y'all feeling? Hello, Tyler.

Good morning. What are your thoughts? Go ahead. Yeah, good morning, morning. So what I want to contribute to this as far as, like, the cops being able to prosecute this, as far as, like, the cops being able to prosecute dudes

off of their lyrics, I think they should because y'all got to put this in perspective. What if that guy committed a crime against me and mine, you know what I'm saying?

Like, he killed one of my people, he robbed me, he went ahead and made a phone about me, make a million, I'm pissed.

So, I need you to get off. You know what I'm saying? Get out of here. Right. Okay. And you know what?'m saying get out of here right okay and you know what rappers have to put

a lot of blame on themselves too because if you were a rapper who was just rapping for entertainment but you was glorifying this certain street

lifestyle right you made the guy who's really doing it feel like it's okay to do it so now this guy comes around

telling the truth cause he think he can get away with telling the truth cause you've been lying all of these shit what about people that be on social media, Duggan,

because they use that in court, too. Yes, they should definitely get locked up. I mean, even like, you know, Charlamagne has written a couple of books. I just finished a book, and I know Yee's about to write her book. Even with the book, I don't know about you, Charlamagne, but I had to have my attorney look over it

to make sure that everything in that book that I won't get sued or get in trouble for. Just change names. And you got to change names. You got to change names. Sometimes they got to verify stories. You know what I mean? Like if I'm talking about

even stuff with your parents. Yes. If you're talking about stuff that you went through with your parents, they have to go verify things like that. Change their names. Never change your parents' names. But 800-585-1051.

What are your thoughts when it comes to Jay-Z and Meek Mill? They're starting an initiative so that you can't be prosecuted for your rap lyrics. Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Whoa.

I know it now. I know I'm in. That kid don't even hear what that is. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now if you just join us, we're talking about Meek Mill and Jay-Z's initiative to try to stop the fact that they can prosecute you for your rap lyrics. So they're trying to take that off the floor, correct? Yeah, and listen, I respect it. I just really don't know if the checks and balances start there. I would love to hear more from Jay and Meek on this because it feels like they're aiming at the wrong target. I feel like you should be telling rappers

not to get in the studio and incriminate yourself if you're really living this way. Or if you're still, you know, close to the lifestyle that you used to live. Or you're still around people who are still living that life. You know what I mean? Don't get in the studio and start saying their names and what they did and who they did it to.

I feel like that's where it should start as opposed to saying let's not use their lyrics in court. How about tell them don't incriminate themselves. Hello, who's this? This is DJ calling from Providence. What's up, bro? What's your thoughts, man? I get it.

I love why they're doing it. I fully understand. I'm saying that if that's the case, then they should be locking these label owners up too then because they're an accessory to what these artists are putting out. That is very true. For their lyrics and everything. That is very true.

I don't see them locking up these people in Hollywood for making these movies and documentaries that they put out. That is very true. I don't see them locking up these people in Hollywood for making these movies and documentaries that they put out. That is very true. Well, documentaries and movies are a lot different. A lot of them, they change the names and stuff like that, but a lot of these rap songs, they're not changing no names. They're telling you exactly what they're doing. That's a great point, though. These labels are

accessories to these crimes. But then it comes to freedom of speech. They don't do facts and checks. They're letting you say, they're basically saying, you do what you gotta do and we're just gonna push you on a bigger platform. Well, it's freedom of speech, true, but guess what? If this guy incriminated himself on a record, you heard

this record, you put this record out, why didn't you alert the authorities? Why you didn't call us? Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Joe Two times for the Bronx, man. Joe two times. Two times. Top of the morning, TBC.

I agree with Jay-Z and the other artists. Meek Mill. Yeah, Meek Mill, Big Sean. Because the courts don't really understand the lyrics, but they want to prosecute the artists. I agree with that. They could not be meaning something totally opposite of what

they're saying versus what the DA is trying to prosecute them for. No, I agree with you wholeheartedly. That's why we have to let people know what's entertainment and what's not entertainment. I think what we're talking about and why we're saying it has to be on a case-by-case basis because some of these things

is very blatant. Like, they're literally naming people, naming the location, naming exactly what they did. You know what I mean? That's kind of hard. That's kind of hard to not use in court. But that's like Rockefeller Records, though.

What does Rockefeller mean? What does Death Row Records mean? What does Sniper Gang mean? You understand what I'm saying? It's like... That's just all entertainment. Entertainment? That doesn't sound like too much entertainment. You can easily say it's entertainment,

but you know in the streets it means something else. That's true. You know what I mean? That's what I'm saying. It's the kind of give and take thing with Jay-Z and the other artists is doing. I understand completely where they're coming from, and I respect it, you know, because you don't want black artists

getting arrested for subliminal messages when in the streets it means one thing, but to them, they're not really like that. Like, of course, Dave, for instance. You understand what I'm saying? He's not like that, but he's living, experiencing things that he can put in his music.

That don't necessarily mean he's done it. Well, no, they're not arresting people for their lyrics. He's lived and experienced things that he can put in his music. That don't necessarily mean he's done it. Well, no, they're not arresting people for their lyrics. It's like when you get in trouble for a crime, and then sometimes they might use your lyrics against you. They're not arresting you because of what you're saying. Like if there was a body or a killing or a shooting, they're saying in this song on this day, you referenced that shooting.

Yes, there's been cases where rappers have gone to jail for putting money on people's heads i think six nine might even got locked up for that too i think they used this to something i believe i don't i don't remember oh you know so it's kind of give and take like i said though but yeah we're conflating two things but there's been times where rappers have gone to jail for putting money on people's heads and they've gone to their times where rappers have gone to jail for putting money on people's heads. And then they've gone to their songs. And in the song, they talk about putting money on that person's head. Correct.

Like, ugh. How can I not use that in court? That's an admission of guilt in your music. What's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is stop self-snitching on yourself. First of all, stop doing crime. That's number one. That's number one.

That should be number one. Stop doing crime. And number two, if you're doing crime, don't get on records and glorify it and celebrate it. You know what I mean? Don't do that. Don't do that. All right. Well, yeah.

You got rumors coming up? Well, speaking of crimes, let's talk about Hugh Hefner. There's an upcoming docuseries, Secrets of Playboy, that is starting Monday, January 24th. And it looks like his assistant is saying he's just like Bill Cosby with the Quaaludes. Isn't it wild that they waited for him to pass away to start telling

these stories? I think people have told stories before he passed away. I ain't hearing no stories like this. Now they're coming out like crazy. They're doing documentaries. All these women are talking about you. You ever heard about the pig nights? No. Alright, we'll talk about it. Oh, boy. All right, we'll get into that next.

It's the Breakfast Log. Good morning. How are you mixing up two songs? I was singing both of them. It was the same era. That was the mixtape era. I love when uncles and aunties, you know, start singing songs from our 90s era,

and we mixing them up. He came in the room singing... No, he came in the room singing Freak Like Me, Idina Haidt. No, I did not. No, he was actually singing Heard It All Before. Heard It All Before. No, didn't he switch to All Before?

No. What? You sure? You sure? No, he did switch it to Heard It All Before. He was singing I'm Not Feeling You and then he... I'm Not Feeling You, there you go. I was singing Yvette Michelle and then I was singing Sunshine Anderson.

Yeah, he mixed up the two songs. I was singing both of them. Because he asked you why you was singing Yvette Michelle and then you was like, I don't know, I just heard it. I was like, why are you random me in here? Oh, no, that's what it was. He was singing Yvette Michelle. Because he asked you why you were singing about Michelle and you was like, I don't know, I just heard it. I was like, why are you random me in there? Oh no, that's what it was. He was singing about Michelle

and you said, why are you singing that? And he was like, because I saw Sunshine Anderson on the fly. That's what your old ass said. That's what you said. And you're a freak like me,

so what's on your mind? Hey man, listen. He's looking at you. He's looking at me. We are combined age of 173 in this room. Okay, I think. No, Not that old

Your math is so off It's 100 plus Easy 170 with me Everybody here was like 60 something years old As a matter of fact Where my goddamn calculator at

Good morning We are the Breakfast Club By the way We got rumors on the way Well let's talk about Big Daddy Kane then He apologized for Kicking a sign a sign language interpreter off the stage. Now, I've seen this story.

Now. 133. If you're on stage and I'm performing and I see a sign language, these— You're throwing up game signs. You got to go. Right. Especially if we on the West Coast. You're going to get us all killed.

That's right. I don't know what's going on out here. All right? You got to let me know that you're a sign language interpreter. You decided to throw it up sets. Beat it. I don't claim no sets going on out here. You gotta let me know that you're a sign language interpreter. You decided to throw it up sex. Beat it. I don't claim no sex, no colors, no nothing. What's wrong with you? Was it a guy white or black?

I don't care what they were. Was he old or young? Because you know sometimes they got the old people doing it. We'll get to that story next. Looking like me in pictures. Don't know what to do with your hands. You just saw a stage throwing up all types of stuff. I don't know what's going on. Alright. We'll get to the rumors next. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. I'll make her do it. That's not actually a session. I'll make him do it. I wasn't going to say I make him do it. No. If you're going to sing this song, sing it. Here you sing it.

How does it go? No. I eat the booty like groceries. Now say it. Say the ad-lib. Nope. Why are you guys staring at each other like that? This is awkward and uncomfortable. Morning, everybody. Okay, when you do the groceries part, it. Say the ad-lib. Nope. Why are you guys staring at each other like that? This is awkward and uncomfortable.

Morning, everybody. Okay, when you do the groceries part, I'll do the ad-lib. All right. Do it. Do it. Go ahead. Make him do it. All right, make him eat the booty like groceries.

I'll make him do it. There you go. Grow up. We're silly, man. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk Big Daddy Kane. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Well, Big Daddy Kane has apologized for an incident that I guess some people were offended by. He was on stage performing and there was a sign language interpreter on stage with him. They ain't tell me what was going on. No, no, no. Understood and understood nothing. I want everybody to enjoy it. You feel me? That was the apology, right?

That was him on stage and he didn't know what was going on, and he was trying to get the man off the stage in the middle of his performance and get him to leave, and here's what he explained afterwards. Y'all done a lot of crazy stuff in my life, but I would never try to disrespect an interpreter that's doing sign language for the deaf community on stage. No one told me what was going on. No one told my manager.

So when I came on stage and saw someone just mouthing the lyrics, you know, I was trying to get them off the stage. But no one showed the clip of me apologizing to the brother and allowing them to stay on stage and finish the show. I want everyone to enjoy the show. And that means even those that can't hear it. Much respect to the deaf community. I would never disrespect y'all. And much love to that interpreter. Again, I apologize, my brother. You need the interpreter while you're doing the apology.

Because, you know, you can't say much love to the deaf community if they're just looking at your mouth and moving. He's saying they can't hear. That's number one. Number two, as an artist, I need to know everybody on stage. You know what I mean? And people that don't need to be on stage. If I don't know, of course I'm going to ask you to move.

If I don't know. He needs a heads up. And they throwing up the signs. You throwing up gang signs on stage? I don't know what's going on behind me. Yeah, get up the stage. I don't know what this is. What if I'm on the West Coast?

Word up. All right. Now, Bill Cosby and Hugh Hefner, what do they have in common, according to an upcoming docuseries, Secrets of Playboy? That's going to be on A&E starting Monday, January 21st. Well, several members of Hugh Hefner's inner circle are coming forward and talking about things that have happened. One thing we've already heard about are these pig nights. You know what that is?

No, what is a pig night? They were accused of, well, apparently he would amuse himself by hiring ugly prostitutes to have sex with him and his friends. And so that's one thing that people have already spoken about publicly. And now, according to this, they would have group sex at least five nights a week. There was a protocol. They said it got really ugly. And his right-hand woman is actually speaking out. She dated Hugh Hefner in the late 70s and early 80s.

And she said that things would get ugly. She said, I felt like I was a ringmaster. I had to put on the same show on every night. It was the same script. Welcome to the family. We're embracing you. It was all a lie. I watched girl after girl show up, fresh-faced, adorable,

and their beauty just washed away. We were nothing to him. He was like a vampire. He sucked the life out of these girls for decades. Here is a trailer for that docuseries. There was a side of Playboy that nobody wants to talk about. out of these girls for decades. Here is a trailer for that docuseries. realized that getting into the Playboy world was a dangerous choice. I have extensive electronic equipment in the house, which includes videotape equipment. Sometimes things happen in the bedroom. It was a beautiful world. It looked that way, but it was really ugly. When you get someone that powerful, anything could happen. Anything. I wouldn't trade places with anyone else in the

world. His legacy should comprise the whole story. The people who are really there, they're the ones who know the real truth. His executive assistant during those years, Lisa Loving Barrett, said that he had a stockpile of quaaludes. And he would use those allegedly as well and rape women with those. And he would call them leg spreaders because he could get women to do what he wanted, what he wanted them to do that way. Yeah, you should have led with that one because everything else that sounded like what I would expect to be happening in the Playboy Mansion. All the group sex

and everything else. I would prefer they did it before when he was alive. At least he could have locked him up, put him in jail. Well, Holly Madison spoke about it in her memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole. She said that he offered her a quaalude her first night in the mansion and she didn't take it, but he also

did fight a sexual battery lawsuit before he passed away as well. Is it true that Quaaludes were like the Molly of the time? Like the ecstasy of the time? Mm-mm. I always hear people say that. I don't know. I wasn't, you know. It's hard for me to say,

but we saw that in Wolf of Wall Street, too. The Quaaludes, remember that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So apparently they were somewhat popular, but you can't give anybody something ever if they don't know about it. You can't slip something in someone's drink or crush it up or do anything like that.

All right, now Gunna has scored the number one spot on Billboard 200, and The Weeknd is number two. Congrats to Gunna. Yes, so his album did 150,000 equivalent units. Wow. Yeah, so congratulations. Dropping the Clues Bonds for Gunna. Yep.

Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you.

This is a breakfast club, bitch. I'm the donkey of the day today. Well, donkey of the day for Wednesday, January 19th goes to a 24-year-old woman named Mackenzie Fierston. Okay. I am sending Mackenzie healing energy this morning. Mackenzie won a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship last year to study

at Oxford University. Don't you clap? Don't you drop one of Clues bombs? Don't you, you know, do anything, okay? Relax your butthole, alright? And get ready to give this, don't give this woman any praise or celebrate her in any way until you hear me out because grand opening, grand closing, McKenzie has lost her place, her scholarship after accusations that she lied about her past.

Oh, she's like a gangster rapper who got exposed for not being real. Now, what happened? OK, well, she was one of only 32 people selected for the scholarship in November 2020. According to the Evening Standard, McKenzie received praise for overcoming a self-described difficult and impoverished upbringing. Oh, she claimed it was a hard knock life for her. Okay, according to the Times, she called herself a queer, first-generation, low-income student.

And in a report by the Philadelphia Inquirer last year, McKenzie said she bounced between various foster homes in her childhood. QB Rabbit from 8 Mile to come tell the truth about Clarence living at home with both parents. And Clarence's parents have a real good marriage. After this profile drop, folks came out to say, okay, now they could be haters.

They could be people who just believe in folks speaking truth to power. But whoever the person was, they remained anonymous. And they said that McKenzie has been blatantly dishonest about her past let's go to news nation for the report please it is fair to say that road scholars are some of the smartest most successful people on the planet only 32 people are chosen to be one each year worldwide mckenzie lost that scholarship and may lose her Ivy League graduate degree as well after an investigation discovered that she may have lied her way to the top. She said she was the first generation to head off to college, that she grew up poor with a history of abuse,

bouncing back and forth between foster homes. That was all in the applications, conversations. Still, she earned straight A's, was accepted into grad school university of pennsylvania and ivy league itself right and eventually she landed that road scholarship and one anonymous tip later authorities discovered that mckenzie actually went to a thirty thousand dollar a year private school suburban st louis called the whitfield school turns out her mom was a radiologist. Her home, a pretty sweet tree-lined street. Mackenzie even spent time riding horseback as a kid. Mackenzie, you may have lied to me.

You may have lied to me. I don't understand why people lie to kick it. Okay, Mackenzie, you winning. All right, you went to Cranbrook. That's a private school. Well, it wasn't Cranbrook. It was Whitfield. $30,000 a year in St. Louis.

You had hobbies like horse riding, skydiving. Your mother was a radiologist. Okay, yeah, she did spend less than a year in foster care at the age of 17 because she claimed she was pushed down the stairs by her mother. But how can you believe that story when you got caught in all these other lies, you know, about this scholarship? Okay, see, that's the thing about getting caught in a lie. I'm never really upset that a person lied to me.

I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you. Okay, in fact, when the Rhodes Committee interviewed McKenzie about claims she made regarding the violent incident with her mother, she said her facial features were so distorted and swollen that she couldn't tell them apart. But the Rhodes Committee said this was inconsistent with the hospital records regarding the incident.

Alright, the committee's report said that either McKenzie has fabricated this abuse by her mother or her mother has lied about the terrible abuse. Could be either or. Alright, moral of the story is Penn and the Rhodes Trust are withholding, you know, her master's degree because they received credible information that called in the question. Her statements made and her applications for admission, financial assistance and scholarships. OK, it wasn't just Rico eating a banana, dropping a dime on McKenzie either. The Rhodes Trust did its own investigation, and they considered evidence and arguments

provided by McKenzie and even gave her the opportunity to withdraw from her candidacy, and she's still holding on to the lie. In fact, she insists she did not lie and said the Rhodes Trust is targeting a survivor of abuse. All right? She filed a lawsuit in December alleging that the trust and university investigators have victimized her. Look, God bless her. Send a healing energy if she needs it.

But if it looks like a rug, walks like a rug, talks like a rug, quacks like a rug, it's probably a lying ass rug. I know you wondered why I said rug and not ducks. It's because I've seen rugs lying. Or is it laying? Damn, that don't make any sense because ducks lay eggs. They don't lie eggs. All I'm trying to say is lying for no reason as an adult is really weird. Okay, my dad would always say when you lie, you're not lying to anyone but yourself.

And I agree. Mackenzie, I'm not mad at you for gaming this system, but I am disturbed that you are potentially taking a scholarship away from someone who needs it. Okay, sounds like you can afford to go to Penn. And you sound like you had the grades to get in. So what kind of karma do you think you're going to get back by taking something away from someone who could actually use it? I truly do believe the truth will set you free. But first, you need to recognize which lie is holding you hostage. Mackenzie, this lie is holding you hostage because this lie has become national news and it's going to haunt you.

It's going to hold you hostage for a long time until you just admit i was just trying to get a free scholarship i was just trying to save some money okay i saw a potential shortcut and i took advantage of that scamming happens we can get over scamming but lying no okay and above all mckenzie you don't lie to yourself right the person who lies in himself and listens to their own lies comes to a point that they can't distinguish the truth you know within them or around them and they end up losing all respect for they self and for others and having no respect for yourself you start to cease to love yourself and we don't want that that happened mackenzie please let remy ma give uh mackenzie what's mackenzie last name i don't forgot that fast mackenzie fierston the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw.

You stupid mother... Are you dumb? And there's no need to play a game against Horatio. This is a white woman. All right. Okay? That's why...

That's why it makes no sense what she did. You was going to getting this school, McKenzie. You know? And if not, you would have gotten to some great school.

You didn't need a scholarship. All right. I can't say who needs a scholarship. Everybody would want a scholarship, but you don't have to lie to get one. It's not for you. It's not for you. Yeah. All right.

Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, up next, ask Yee. 800-585-1051. You need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Need relationship advice?

Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Yee. Eat the bread. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee.

Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. Breakfast Club. This is Swimmy Dane the Pillar. Bump, how youagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask a Yee. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. Breakfast Club. This is Swimmy Dane the Pillar. Bump, how you feeling? Respectfully. Bump, how you feeling? What's your question for Yeezy, though? Alright, basically, I broke up with my ex recently. I broke up with her like two months ago, and it was

mostly because of the money problems, and I couldn't carry it no more. But I was trying to tell her to like, I was giving her advice on how she could do better with her college and how to do part-time. But she just, any advice I gave her, she threw out the window and said I wasn't supporting her. And I still like her. But now her sister, who is, like, two years older than her, likes me because she knows we broke up. So now I don't know what to do because both our birthdays just passed.

So we both said happy birthday to each other. And then we started to, like, we've done a little mutual talking. But I don't know if I should go for a sister now. And I don't want to feel bad. Like, should there be morals into this or what? Yeah, you can't date your ex's sister, especially because you still are in contact with your ex. You think that's worth it? And then that's going to tear their family apart.

Yeah, true. Psychologically, I don't want to put them through that, but I'm a pleaser. God gave me something to press people with. There's no other woman you could find

other than your ex's sister? I mean, they both died, though. They were both young, so I'm pretty sure the sick was like, pan over. And I don't know

if I can somehow get a piece of them one day. I don't know. I don't know. piece on one day. I don't know. I don't know. This sounds kind of selfish to me. Imagine, is this somebody you see yourself with? Like, you're saying they're just both bad, but can you see yourself, like, at holidays with this woman

and having to see your ex there? And then knowing that you cause tension in the family, are you okay with that? No, no. It's going to be awkward. Yeah. I mean, it's not just about, you know, you being attracted to somebody. It's also about doing what's right.

True. But why is she texting me if she knows I was with her sister? Why are you texting her if you know you were with her sister? I mean, it sounds like her sister ain't ish anyway. Is that somebody you want to be with? Somebody who would date her little sister's ex? Is that the type that somebody you want to be with? Somebody who would date her little sister's ex? Is that the type of person you want to lay down with?

Imagine what she'll do to you. And can you live with yourself? I mean, I don't really get emotional. I really think it's hard to get through my ways in life. I don't really feel in a tough way about most things.

It just feels like unnecessary drama. That's all I'm wasting life. I'll maybe feel and tuck away about most things. But, um... It just feels like unnecessary drama. That's all I'm saying. And you gotta think about your karma and you gotta think about how it affects other people and not just yourself

and your penis. Yeah. That's true, too. I'd be fine with a patient. F***. F*** Christian. All right.

Well, there you go. Oh, my gosh. Bro, damn, I appreciate it. I'm gonna think about this. Damn go Yeah, it sounds like you're still gonna do it But I'm just telling you It just sounds unnecessary What if it's a setup? It's just too many variables Too many things to think about. And if it's not a setup, I would be thinking that the sister is whack.

And who wants to be with somebody like that? Would you trust her? No, I wouldn't trust her after that. I got to know my work. Yeah, you are smart. You are kind. All right. I said. Good. All right. Lips.

I said lip service. All right. Well, good luck. But I'm telling you, don't do it. It's not worth it. Why do we want to make life hard? Breakfast. Especially.

Charlamagne. Stop being so mook, man. Stop being so what? Stop being so mook, man. We'll be hearing you. Oh, you 40. I know you 40 plus using that term. Oh, really? I just heard you 40 plus using that term.

And you still say mook? I can't hear what you said. You got something too far down your throat. Oh, my God. We heard that. We heard that one, huh? All right. All right. Good luck, Jay? All right. All right. Good luck, Jay.

All right. Well, ask ye. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call ye now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Ye. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. God bless you guys. My name is Reynaldo.

Good morning, Reynaldo. What's your question? So my question is, when things aren't always going according to plan, you know, sometimes you believe in things and you have faith. It doesn't mean you throw away your faith. But my question is, what do you keep doing to stay in that positive aspect of your goal? You know, it doesn't go as you want. I think in general, most times things don't go as you want.

Right. Right. And so that's life. You know, life throws you curveballs and you have to adapt to that. And sometimes things end up better than you anticipated. But I think you should never compromise your morals and your beliefs just because things aren't going as they plan right as you planned right now. Sometimes God's planning is better than your own planning. Amen. Wow. No, that's awesome. I've been yeah, I've been still praying to God. You know, I'm a Christian and stuff. You know, I just finish up real quick. But I don't know. I was hearing about you guys talking about Michael Todd.

I know we're not talking about that. But, like, God had told me to ask this question, you guys. And God bless you, all three of you, Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and, of course, you. Is there something in particular happening in your life right now that you had a question about? Yeah, I mean, just right now, you know, I'm making this music. I decided to change everything I've done for Jesus Christ. And I'm about to drop my first

Christian mixtape. And all of a sudden, like the devil started attacking me in all these ways, like trying to make me go back, I feel like from what I wanted. So then I started watching your podcast or your radio station because I'm a truck driver. I listen to you guys all the time. And God was like, just call and ask that question and I'll give you the answer. And I was like, from who? And I didn't know from who. And then it came up coming from you. So God works in mysterious ways.

Yeah. And listen, doing the right thing is not usually easy. And so, you know, don't take the easy way. All right. Thank you. I appreciate that. God bless you guys. All right, Ronaldo. All right. Thank you. I appreciate that. God bless you guys. All right, Ronaldo.

All right. Ask Yee. 805-85-1051. Now you got rumors on the way? Are you ready for some more Madea? We'll tell you where you can watch the 10th Madea movie next month. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Well, Cardi B is now stepping in. She'll be covering the funeral and burial expenses for each victim of the tragic Bronx fire. Wow. And she wants to help alleviate the financial burdens for the families who have been affected. She said, I'm extremely proud to be from the Bronx, and I have lots of family and friends who live and work there still. So when I heard about the fire and all of the victims, I knew I needed to do something to help. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and anguish that the families of the victims are experiencing,

but I hope that not having to worry about the costs associated with burying their loved ones will help as they move forward and heal. I send my prayers and condolences to everyone affected by this horrific tragedy. Drop on the clues bombs for Big Body. You can say a lot of things about Cardi, but you can never question her heart. Beautiful thing. Alright, now

there's going to be a new Madea movie on Netflix in February and that's going to be February 25th. Tyler Perry's A Madea Homecoming. So get ready for that. It's the 10th feature film starring Madea in a major role. I thought they stopped Madea. That's what he had said.

I thought she died. But I guess it's the homecoming. So, you know, she's celebrating her great-grandson's college graduation. And then there's some hidden secrets and family drama that threaten to destroy the happy homecoming. Fluja Tyler Perry. Y'all don't be watching that. I grew up watching a lot of my dear, because, you know, my mother-in-law and people, like, they love Tyler Perry. The first Tyler Perry movie I ever saw,

We got on a lot of shelves, and the water's doing very, very, very well. Positivity Water, you can order it on Amazon, or we have it at the Hudson. If you ever go to the airport, you can ask for it there.

But it's very difficult to get on a lot of shelves, though. Does water ever expire? Yes. It does? Yeah, because sometimes it depends if you keep it in the heat. Sometimes the plastic, you ever drink water

and it's been in the heat? But I'm talking about expiring, not leaving it in the heat. Is there an expiration date? No. I'm just wondering. I had no idea. What does it taste like?

She was referencing her song with Gunna and telling everybody to listen to it. So, yeah. All right. Now, according to reports and sources, they're saying there is some truth to all the claims

that have surrounded Wendy Williams and her health. A source told Page Six that it's one thing to see what we have seen in the studio, but it's another thing when certain staff members make it to her home. When the cameras and mics are off, the liquor comes out. And so other reps for Wendy Williams are saying the stories about her health are inaccurate and they have dismissed rumors that she would never return to her show as speculation because some people are saying she's not coming back. They said some staffers are worried

about Wendy Williams, but they still need their paychecks, and they said there's a lot of stories going around that have some truth to them. Definitely sending Wendy Williams healing energy. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee.

Nigger! Nigger! Nigger! Nigger! Now, I don't know how y'all scored that, but I thought that that was some really good execution of the N-word. That's disgusting. What do you mean?

I thought it was really good execution of the N-word. I haven't heard the N-word said with that kind of conviction in a while. And that's saying a lot, being that I live in America and I lived through, I'm from South Carolina and I lived through the Trump era. I haven't heard the N-word used with that much vigor in a long, long, long, long, long time. Can you imagine being an athlete going to do your job in another country and that happens to you? Yes, I can. And the reason I can't, I can't imagine because I'm not an athlete, but we've seen it before. You know what I mean? Like, that's why it's such a throwback to like, damn,

they still doing this, especially in other countries? I thought China appreciated, you know, black culture. You're going to say the NBA and the black culture? I thought so, yeah. I thought they appreciated black culture. But these particular individuals were disgusting. Yes. I'm not going to say it's all people. Which makes me feel like that might have been a plant.

What do you mean? I don't know if that's a reflection of how a lot of those Chinese spectators feel about black America or black American culture. Because, like you said, the NBA, you know, hip hop, of course. Hip hop, of course. So I'm not going to judge the whole China based off those few but that was good execution of the N-word they've been watching some videos

they've been watching some MAGA rallies or something that was some great execution of the N-word and listen man, salute to the NAACP, they released the NAACP image awards the nominees for the NAACP image awards yesterday and I have to salute reasonably shady the NAACP Image Awards, the nominees for the NAACP Image Awards yesterday.

We are the Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne, you got a positive note? Yes. Remember I was talking about, you know, people lying to themselves earlier, man. I just think it's very weird for adults, you know, to be lying.
