Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:00:16 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. 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
Starting point is 00:00:46 Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into 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 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.
Starting point is 00:01:21 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.
Starting point is 00:01:42 And Charlamagne Tha God. The Breakfast Club, bitches. The voice of the culture. People watch The Breakfast Club for light news and really be tuned in. It's one of my favorite shows to do. Just because y'all always keep it 100, y'all keep it real. They might not watch the news, but they're on Twitter. They're on Facebook.
Starting point is 00:02:00 They're, you know, they're listening to The Breakfast Club. Get your ass up. Good morning, USA. Hey, good morning, fam. What's up, Yee? What's up, Envy? It's Tuesday. Yes, it is. I know you're going to stop treating me like I work for UPS or the post office or FedEx or any other carrier. Tuesday! Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:02:29 I know you're going to stop treating me like I work for UPS or the post office or FedEx or any other carrier. What's wrong with working there? Nothing, but I don't. And you have me like I'm working there. Angela Yee lives in New York. I live in New Jersey. So she buys things and she ships them to my house so she doesn't have to pay taxes. Right? That's legal, right?
Starting point is 00:02:42 I think. I don't know. Maybe I... Well, anyway. It's too late now. It's too late now. But anyway, but they're huge boxes, so it's not like a little small shoe box. No, the box I carry today is damn near half my size.
Starting point is 00:02:54 So now when I get to work in the morning at 5.30 in the morning, I'm walking through the streets, dark, with this big-ass box, people looking at me like I'm stealing it, and I'm like, I appreciate you. It's just a lot. And listen, the problem with this package that got returned because you weren't home. I guess you were out of town. I was working. I need you to be home.
Starting point is 00:03:12 She was like, yeah, I need you to be home to pick up this package. I have a job, ye. All right. Oh, my goodness. Well, I appreciate you. Shout out to everybody. I feel like I should tip him. Yeah, yeah, you should.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Shout out to everybody in Atlantic City. I was out in Atlantic City yesterday. You know... After you got my package. After I got your package, yeah. You know. Shout out to everybody in Atlantic City. I was out in Atlantic City yesterday. After you got my package. After I got your package, yeah. You know, I do real estate heavy, and Atlantic City is one of those markets where it was hit by Sandy. There's a lot of great deals there, a lot of vacant lots, and they're rebuilding Atlantic City from the casinos. There's schools.
Starting point is 00:03:39 They're building a power plant. There's so much that they're doing there, so it's a great opportunity. So I was out there looking at some more stuff to purchase and see what I could do there. We're also doing a seminar there to teach people kind of about real estate. We're going to have a ride-along where we take you through some of the properties and teach you how much it costs to fix and what you should be looking for. So we're going to be doing that this month. So I was out in Atlantic City. What did you do yesterday?
Starting point is 00:04:00 Yesterday I did my lip service podcast, and I have an announcement to make. Okay. So lip service is going on the road. We are going on tour. Thank you, Live Nation. We're doing a nice, great tour. So we're coming to a bunch of different cities. And right now we have a special VIP presale that only lasts until Friday with the password lip service.
Starting point is 00:04:20 But we're starting off in Philly, then New York, then Charlotte, then D.C., Silver Springs, Maryland, Atlanta, San Francisco, L.A., Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago. Nice. Yeah, so that's exciting that people have been wanting us to bring the podcast on the road. And what's great is that some of the venues announced it yesterday, and people are already hitting me up. Some great special guests for all of these cities that want to come through and participate. So I'm excited. Great, great, great. To bring that on the road and all the girls will be coming
Starting point is 00:04:48 with me. So it'll be me, Gigi, Stephanie, and L'Oreal. Nice. Well, congratulations to you. Thank you. Alright, well Swiss Beats will be joining us this morning. Swizzy! We'll kick it with Swiss Beats. I got with that incredible new house. He bought an amazing house. His house is beautiful. Swiss really
Starting point is 00:05:04 inspires me. Like I tell people all the time when I get lazy, there's not too many times I do get lazy, but when I need that inspiration, I always look on Swiss' page. Swiss is somebody that started off being a DJ, turned to a producer, turned to a mogul. He was an artist. He owns art. He does
Starting point is 00:05:20 stuff with brands like McLaren, I think Aston Martin, Zenith watches. He has so much. B McLaren, I think Aston Martin, Zenith Watches. He has so much. Bacardi. He does so much under his belt, and he continues to push the culture. He's one of those guys I look at for inspiration, whether it's his new house, what he does with his family, when he goes on vacation. That's what you need.
Starting point is 00:05:40 And it's not hate, because I love, because I inspire. It makes me work harder to want to do that. And I hope that, you know. And hit him up and be like, yo, congrats, that's dope. I do that all the time. I do that all the time. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, let's talk about somebody who is a hater, Donald Trump. Oh, boy. Now, they are subpoenaing him and we'll tell you why and how he's tried to deflect
Starting point is 00:05:59 and somehow Obama got dragged into this. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Ye right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:06:06 It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. The last night of Monday Night Football. The Cleveland Browns beat the Jets 23-3. And I just want to tell y'all, Odell looked great last night.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Like, I think he caught for over 100 yards. He did an amazing catch. He ran one in for, what, 90 yards or 89 yards or something like that? 80-something yards. He looked dope. I'm sitting here like, I don't understand why the Giants traded him. Like, I still don't get it. Well, he did also have on a different watch, which everybody's talking about.
Starting point is 00:06:40 One of the best wide receivers, one of the best running backs, so I don't understand, Giants! Why? Why? Sorry, you go ahead. That watch might be good luck running backs. So I don't understand, Giants. Why? Why? Sorry, you go ahead. That watch might be good luck for him. Maybe. A different one on this time. Well, he wasn't wearing it in the game.
Starting point is 00:06:50 He was just wearing it in practice. But he looked pretty good last night. Shout out to Odell. And what else we got, Yeezy? Well, did you see the watch? Is it worth around $2 million? And Richard Mille, I wouldn't, well. What?
Starting point is 00:06:59 I wouldn't say it's worth $2 million, but, you know, that's the exaggerated price a little bit. But go ahead. Okay. All right. Is that all your scores? Yeah, that's the exaggerated price a little bit. Okay. All right. Is that all your scores? Yep, that's all my scores. Only one game last night. It's Monday Night Football. What team did you pick? Did you pick a team yet? I didn't pick one yet. Pick the Miami Dolphins. I think the Miami Dolphins would be perfect for you. There's a lot of people that
Starting point is 00:07:15 have been leaning me towards picking... I don't know. I gotta think. I gotta think. All right. Now, let's talk about Donald Trump. New York City prosecutors have subpoenaed his tax returns. And of course, a lawyer for his Trump organization said he's evaluating the situation and will respond as appropriate. So they want the last eight years of his state and federal tax returns for his him and his company. Now, Donald Trump, in response to that, what do you think he did?
Starting point is 00:07:44 He deflected everything on to Barack Obama. He tweeted out, House Judiciary has given up on the Mueller report, sadly for them, after two years and $40 million spent. Zero collusion, zero obstruction. He clearly didn't read the report. So they say, okay, let's look at everything else and all the deals that Trump has done over his lifetime,
Starting point is 00:08:01 but it doesn't work that way. I have a better idea. Look at the Obama book deal or the ridiculous Netflix deal. Then look at all the deals made by the Dems in Congress, the Congressional slush fund, and lastly, the IG reports. Take a look at them. What does that have to do with anything? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Anything with his tax returns? I'm confused. President Obama left office. He left office, he did a deal, and I'm sure he paid his taxes. I'm 100% sure he paid his taxes. He's the only president that's not letting his taxes be public. Right. So clearly there's something crazy going on behind the scenes there.
Starting point is 00:08:33 All right, and a seventh person in California now has died in a vaping-related illness. The 40-year-old died over the weekend, so they are really warning you to stop with this vaping. They said so far they've identified 380 cases of lung illness associated with the use of e-cigarettes in 36 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. They said they're investigating at least 450 possible cases of lung disease related to vaping. So it is about that time. And I heard something about it. A lot of people are using, I guess, fake marijuana. It's not real marijuana. It's like off marijuana and it's
Starting point is 00:09:07 really affecting people as well. Right. So if you are out there, just, you know, put it down while they're still trying to figure out what's going on with that, but don't risk your life. All right. All right. And that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Maybe you had a bad night, bad morning, or maybe you just want to spread some positivity. Whatever it may be, 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, bad morning, or maybe you just want to spread some positivity. Whatever it may be, 800-585-1051. Hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

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.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. 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. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? 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.
Starting point is 00:10:07 What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!
Starting point is 00:10:20 We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.
Starting point is 00:10:48 After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? their journeys, and the 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.

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. Listen to Post Run High 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.
Starting point is 00:12:05 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.
Starting point is 00:12:24 And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:12:48 This is Gary. Gary, what's up? Get it off your chest. Yeah, man, I was just calling Brian from New York right now. I'm from D.C. Keep hearing about these cigarettes and e-cigarettes, man. Like, what about, you know, real cigarettes? On the liquor stores and all that, man. It's like a diversion.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Real cigarettes are bad, too. They got a big sticker on it that says, cause cancer, you will die. I don't know why they even sell them. Real cigarettes are bad, too. They got a big sticker on it that says, cause cancer, you will die. I don't know why they even sell them. I don't even know why cigarettes hasn't been banned. And then I guess the e-cigarettes, because a lot of kids are vaping, and they're trying to make sure that kids are not using these things. That's true. I feel you.
Starting point is 00:13:19 But, you know, in reality, they can get a hold of it regardless. Yeah, they can. I understand, though, you know. These are really marketed to kids, though, because they have names that are like Captain Crunch and all of that. So I think that's the issue they have with the marketing for them. So people think it's harmless. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:13:37 All right, what you doing in New York, bro? Nah, man, I'm a trucker just riding through, going to Boston. Okay, you in your truck now? Yeah. Blow the horn, brother. Blow the horn. All right. Weak-ass horn, but I will let you live.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Damn. I bet you'll move out the way. Hello, who's this? What's going on? This is David. David, what's up? Get it off your chest, bro. Man, I'm pissed off.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Last night, I took some on shorty. Wait, wait. You got us on Bluetooth or speaker? You take us off for a second. I'm on foot, I'm on foot, I'm on foot. I was saying that last night, I cooked for my shorty or whatever. And as soon as, you know what I'm saying, she ate her food, she was watching anime. And then it was time for her to show her due diligence.
Starting point is 00:14:19 She told me this was a bad idea and it was time to go. What you mean due diligence? You wanted some sex? Her due diligence, man. You know the due diligence? You wanted some sex? That's the wrong way of thinking. That's the wrong way of thinking. She just wanted to spend some time with you. That's your girl, not a prostitute.
Starting point is 00:14:40 You can't pay her for sex, bro. Maybe she was on her period. I doubt it. Why? Why do you doubt that? You gotta show me. If you on your period, show me. She has to show you she's on her period? I mean... I hope next time she bleeds all over you. How long you been with her, son? It really proves something. I mean...
Starting point is 00:14:59 I mean, we kicking it. We not even together, bro. What? I was trying to show her. I was trying to show her I was worth the time. She did the right thing by leaving, bro. Oh, man. I don't think she should go out with you again. Yeah, I don't think so either. What's her number? I'm not going out with her again. It's over for her.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Good. Good. She dodged a bullet. Well, thanks for the meal. What did you cook? Man, I cooked... Tacos. Mashed potatoes. I cooked corn and green beans. Very heavy meal. Probably disgusting. That's why she didn't want to eat it.
Starting point is 00:15:28 She probably had diarrhea after she cooked all that food. Ha. Ha. Anyway, though, y'all have a great morning. Andy, Charlamagne, I need to start coming to work on time, man. You're the only one who want to come to work on time. What are you talking about? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:15:43 I was late one time in the last month. I'm here now. Charlamagne's still not here, so he can't even respond. All right, man. Don't put me in that box. I've been here, man. Envy, get here on time. I've been here on time.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Bye, man. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up.
Starting point is 00:16:14 With your ass. 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, DJ Envy. It's me, Latisha. How you doing? Hey, Angela.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Hey, boo. What's up, Latisha? Nothing. I'm so happy I got on. Okay, so I just want to tell you, DJ, I loved how you had on your stash, like, what was it, last week? And, um... Had on my what?
Starting point is 00:16:41 I was thinking that maybe you was going to do a little... A little mustache? You had the little DJ, international DJ. Oh, yeah, on my sash. Maybe a week or two. Yeah, I thought maybe you was going to get a little bachaca real quick when you put on the sash and they put on the music. But, you know, you didn't do that for me.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Swab on that. See, now, I thought she said stache like you had put on a mustache. I was like, envious. No, no, no, no, no, no. The stache. Okay. My DJ of the year. And then, yeah, congrats on that.
Starting point is 00:17:07 And Angela, I like the wet look on your hair. I really do like that. You look really cute. Thank you. My hair's wet right now. I'm trying to get my curls back. I'm looking at it on TV. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:17 I'm trying to get these curls back and not put no heat on it and just let it air dry. Oh, I can dig it. Yeah. Do you use that curly cream for like mixed girls? Do you use that on your hair? I've been using my Miss Jessie's products, so Oh, okay. Yeah, the multicultural curls. I have one question
Starting point is 00:17:34 for you, Angela. Number one, I like that jade around your neck. And number two, what is that gold cap? What does that represent? Like, I know you're... Oh, okay. But what does that mean? So what that does is they usually use this in stores and places like that to bring in good luck and money.
Starting point is 00:17:50 So that's like a welcome and I'm bringing it in. It's working. You gotta get it for yourself, dude. You gotta get one. I do. That's what I wanted to know. And does it matter if the hand is moving or not? Well, this is solar powered, so it doesn't have to be moving, though. Okay. That's why the hand's always moving.
Starting point is 00:18:05 I listen to y'all every morning on the iHeartRadio app. Actually, I listen to y'all at work. And you watch us on Revolt, clearly. And I watch y'all on Revolt. Well, thank you, my love. I like her. She's very observant about everything. Yes, she is.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Hello, who's this? Dennis. Dennis, what's up? Get it off your chest. Yeah, so I'm just going through some things right now, and I just really, I don't really speak to anybody. I just need closure, so I just want to air it out in a kind of a way. I'm going through something with my wife right now.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Well, supposedly she has, like, a lot of people in the loop giving her bad information about me and stuff like that, and it's false, and we get into big arguments and everything like that, and she has this baby father that's in the loop all the time. I kind of think they're sleeping around and stuff like that. But she tells me long story short, we got into a big argument. I left. We haven't been speaking.
Starting point is 00:18:59 We haven't been communicating. And it's really, like, bothering me, like, down to the core. So why do you think she's cheating? You know, I don't even know because I do it all. I can't even. She don't work. She doesn't. She just goes to school.
Starting point is 00:19:10 So you have no evidence. You have no proof. You just got a feeling. Well, she cheated on me before with her big father. I slept around with him before. She slept around with him before on me, and he's always coming over to the house when I'm not there, when I'm at work and stuff like that. She's always talking to him on the phone, talking bad about me.
Starting point is 00:19:28 He's always talking bad about me to her like trying to stir up things so she dislikes me even more. That's a violation right there. That is a violation. Did she tell you that he's coming over to your house? They have kids together so does she tell you he's coming over? No, she don't tell me. I do a double
Starting point is 00:19:44 at work and I go to work, and I do this double, and then all of a sudden I find out that my stuff is misplaced, put in the back, and all kinds of stuff. Oh, uh-uh. You know what it is. Bro, yeah, you got to stand up a little bit. You already know what it is. It sounds like she's taking advantage of you.
Starting point is 00:19:56 She's taking your kindness for weakness. This is where the situation where you got to be a man, and you got to man up. I know it might be hurt where you got to put your foot down and say, look, you can't do this anymore. But that's what you have to do for your own sanity. Yeah. And then so I left with whatever his man.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Every time I try to confront him, she was always like trying to like separate us, make sure we don't speak at any cost. Well, it shouldn't be about him. I mean, you know, he doesn't have any loyalty towards you. It should be your wife that you should have that conversation with. And I mean, you confront him really means nothing. And then we have a son together also. To be honest with you, he don't really care for his son. He more
Starting point is 00:20:30 care for her than his kids and anything. And I'd be like, yo, why do you even associate yourself with a piece of s*** like that? You know what I'm saying? I do things for my kid and his son and stuff like that. So what are you going to do, bro? What are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:20:45 I mean, I'm being real. I'm not even going to say a lie. I love her. I do love her. She's just disrespectful. She's walking all over you. But she knows you love her and she knows that you ain't going nowhere.
Starting point is 00:20:54 That's why she continues to do it. Yeah. So you might have to put your foot down and be like, you know what? I'm not going to take this no more. And I'm out. People will get away with what you let them get away with. Absolutely. Yeah, I'm out. I'm get away with what you let them get away with.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Absolutely. Yeah, I'm out. I'm out already. Where you from? I'm from Long Island. Long Island, okay. All right. All right, well, I mean, just...
Starting point is 00:21:13 Thank you for venting with us this morning, and I really do hope you work out what you need to do for yourself. And I'm proud of you. You ain't do nothing crazy, man. Just remember, you got a kid. Don't do nothing stupid. If she ain't worth it, she ain't worth it. Just let it go.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Thank you. And hopefully she realizes what she lost and she'll come back and act right. But don't let her just disrespect you. Go to the club. Post a lot of pictures. You have fun. You live your life. And do it like that.
Starting point is 00:21:38 How old are you, brother? I'm 31. Yeah, you got a long way to go, bro. You got a long life to live, man. Enjoy it. All right. All right. Don't sound down, man. Get up. Sound happy, man. You need some friends. I know. You got a long life to live, man. Enjoy it. All right. All right, don't sound down, man.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Get up. Sound happy, man. You need some friends. I know. I'm trying to be. I'm trying to be in high spirits. I'm trying to do it all, but it's just... I got you.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Sometimes your thoughts just have you thinking like, yo, man, was I right? You know what I'm saying? All right, brother. Have a good one, man. All right. And remember, we love you. Thank you, man.
Starting point is 00:22:04 He ain't even said I love you back. I just told him to show some positive. I said I love you. That's the worst. When you tell someone you love them and they just say thank you. I love you. Thank you. Damn, you just hurt my feelings now.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Now I feel like you. You want him to lie? He don't love you. I know. All right, fine. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need a vent, you can hit us up at any time.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Nayib, you got rumors on the way? Thank you. Thank you. a vent, you can hit us up at any time. Nayib, you got rumors on the way? Thank you. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Okay. We are going to talk about Dancing with the Stars. We'll tell you who made their debut last night on Dancing with the Stars. Donald Trump needs to investigate this, but hopefully you saw it and saw how everything happened.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Also, Kevin Hart is being sued for $60 million. This sounds ridiculous. Yeah, and I heard Dancing with the Stars, they had to change the way they voted because Bobby Bones won last year. So they changed the voting process now. Because of Bobby Bones? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Why can't he have just won? I don't know. They said they got to change the voting process. I guess he was too popular because he was on the radio show all day. So they said they changed the voting process. But anyway, we'll talk about it next. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Yo, listen, if you're in New York City and you're coming down the West Side Highway, when you get to 96th Street, it's going to be a parking lot. And then after you get out the parking lot, it's a one-lane highway because they got two lanes closed.
Starting point is 00:23:21 All right. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Beyonce. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So Beyonce's Making the Gifts special was on last night. It's a documentary that shows the whole creative process behind making The Lion King the gift. That's the album that accompanied the iconic Disney movie, which Beyonce collaborated on the album with a number of African artists, producers and musicians. Now, some of the things that were highlights for people was seeing Beyonce sing those raw vocals before she even got the songs done. And here's her doing some opera for the opera inspired background vocals for Bigger.
Starting point is 00:24:05 I hear some opera in the background. Could you bring me back to the first verse? Woo. OK. And then you also get to see a lot of the family. Jay-Z's on there, the twins, Rumi and Sarah on there, and of course, Blue Ivy is there. And you get to see Blue Ivy sing Brown Skin Girl on the mic.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Skin is a pearl, the best thing in the world. It'll never change you for anybody else in Brownsville Girl, it's fitness for Pearl The best thing in the world I'll never change it for anybody else in Okay Okay What channel did that come on? That was on ABC and it's actually on demand now
Starting point is 00:24:58 Oh, I missed all of that Yes That was all last night? Yep I'm a Pinkett Smith Winfrey knows car that I had no idea Alright Network television does a horrible job at promoting stuff. We talked about it yesterday, too, that it was coming on.
Starting point is 00:25:08 We're not network television, though. But network television does a horrible job at promoting stuff. That should have been a big event, don't you think? Yeah, I mean, it was kind of a surprise, so they didn't start even talking about it until Friday. A whole weekend? Yeah. Jesus Christ. I think the beehive was going crazy last night, though.
Starting point is 00:25:26 The beehive knowing Beyonce farts, though. So, I mean, that don't mean nothing to Beehive. All right, Seinfeld is moving to Netflix in 2021, for all you Seinfeld fans. So even though The Office won't be on there anymore, now they're bringing Seinfeld over. So they said it's going to be all 180 episodes of the series globally available on one service. So that's a big deal because Seinfeld is a classic show.
Starting point is 00:25:47 How much money Seinfeld got for that? A lot. As you can imagine. They got a lot just when they were even on TV still. Alright, Drake says that he is going to fly out a super fan for a show and an extremely dedicated Drake fan just actually had that come true. He posted about Drake almost
Starting point is 00:26:04 daily on his Instagram, and David Jagon had received a shout-out from Drake himself, and so he offered to fly him out from Nigeria to a show as soon as possible. Wow, that's dope. Isn't it a thin line between being a super fan and stalking though, especially on social media?
Starting point is 00:26:20 Because some people think it's weird when a person is hitting them up every day saying how much they love them. All right. That is a thin line. That's what I'm saying. Here's Drake's fan, David. What are they going to do, sit around and discuss how terrible their accents are?
Starting point is 00:26:47 Well, he said... He's really from Nigeria, right? He's from Nigeria. He said, nah, David Jagun, I am flying you to a show ASAP. You're going too hard. And he responded to that, God used Drake to bless me and I'm so happy. God bless OVO Sound Radio 6 God. It's nice to have a fan like that, man.
Starting point is 00:27:05 All right, Kendrick's Good Kid, Mad City is now the longest-charting hip-hop LP in history. Classic album. It's at number 141 this week, and so now that's history for Kendrick Lamar. At the end of the year, when we rank in our top 10 albums of the decade, Good Kid, Mad City would be in my top three.
Starting point is 00:27:22 A thousand percent. All right, now Kevin Hart, he's being sued now for $60 million. I didn't understand this. For that sex tape. Now the partner that was on that sex tape, Montia Sabag, is saying that he conspired
Starting point is 00:27:36 with a friend to secretly record their encounter. Now why would he do that? Why would I, a married man, put out a sex tape of me cheating on my wife? Yeah, what sense does that make? That doesn't make any sense at all. And back in 2017, right, Montia Sabag actually was with her attorney,
Starting point is 00:27:52 Lisa Bloom, at the time, and here's what she said. I'm not an extortionist. I'm not a stripper. I'm a recording artist and an actress, and I've not broken any laws. I have nothing to do with these recordings. I hired Lisa Bloom to protect my rights. Montia and I are not asking for a cent from Kevin Hart.
Starting point is 00:28:11 All right. This is not about money. When you see a woman standing with Lisa Bloom, trust me, she wants the bag. Well, $60 million. And that young lady's name is the bag. What's her last name? Montia Sabag. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Sabag wants the bag. That's all. And I just want to say, there's not too many things I'm sure about in life if I wasn't there, but I am sure Kevin Hart did not conspire to leak this sex tape of himself cheating on his wife. I don't even see where the merit is to file that lawsuit. I can't believe that a lawyer would take that and actually put that lawsuit through. Doesn't sound right to me. But anybody can sue for anything, right?
Starting point is 00:28:44 Correct. Doesn't mean it's going to work. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. It's just going to cost me money to fight, so it is going to cost me some money, though. All right, now when we come back, front page news, what are we talking about, Yee? We are going to talk about a man who beat cancer twice
Starting point is 00:28:57 and then got this blessing. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:29:07 What's happening? Good morning. Let's get in some front page news. Now, Monday Night Football. The Browns beat the Jets 23-3. And Odell looked pretty damn good last night playing, man. He looked decent. No, he looked pretty good.
Starting point is 00:29:19 He looked like Odell Beckham. Received over 100 yards. He actually got some passes. He ran one, I think, for what, 80-something yards? Longest touchdown of his career. Yeah, 80-something yards. He looked pretty good. He looked pretty fast.
Starting point is 00:29:31 He made another amazing catch last night. He looked decent. I'm happy for him. My standards are different because I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan. So when you look at the way our guys execute our receiving call, he looked decent. You know what I mean? Bro, you had two great games.
Starting point is 00:29:43 Stop it. He know Amari Cooper. How many great games have y'all had this year at the Giants? All right, shut up. We had a good preseason game. Yeah, okay. Good preseason. What else you talking about, E?
Starting point is 00:29:51 Well, let's talk about a man in Oregon. He beat cancer twice. Stu McDonald is his name. And then he won the lottery. He actually bought a winning ticket that was worth $4.6 million. Wow. Look at God. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:04 He said, I am a very lucky guy. I survived cancer twice and here I am. This is amazing. So after taxes, this is crazy. He took home $1.5 million. When it's your season, it's your season. Wait a minute. How you win $4.6 million and after taxes you take home... But I mean, look, I'll take it. Whatever. But that's $4.7
Starting point is 00:30:20 when you take the monthly. But when you take everything up front, it drops down to probably $3 million and then half the taxes. That's... I guess it don't suck, but when you take everything up front, it drops down to probably $3 million and then half the taxes. I guess it don't suck, but it sucks. I mean, shoot, that's $1.7 million you didn't have your day before. No, I'm still happy.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I'm just, that's crazy. That's a lot of money. Uncle Sam won't get his. He wants his cut, right? All right, now let's talk about pharma, Purdue Pharma. Let's talk about them filing for bankruptcy. They're the ones that made all of the drugs, the painkillers, Oxycontin.
Starting point is 00:30:50 And all these people have died from it, addicted to it. So they are now filing for bankruptcy. And that's all part of their agreement to pay billions of dollars. They're paying $10 billion to states and local and tribal governments. Now, the company still says they haven't done anything wrong. And they estimate after the bankruptcy filings are complete, that's when they'll provide that more than $10 billion in funding to address the opioid crisis.
Starting point is 00:31:11 That's going to include settlements with 24 state attorneys generals, five U.S. territories, and attorneys in multi-district litigation. So, the only thing about this, some people feel like this is a slap in the face because they're not being held accountable even more than that for people who have died from these opioid overdoses. They're also creating a new company called Nuko, and that company will produce medicines to reverse overdoses and keep developing an over-the-counter product at little to no cost to communities across the U.S. So all of that is according to their statement. But be clear, $10 billion bankruptcy, they still have billions of dollars left.
Starting point is 00:31:48 All right, now for 1 in 16 women in the United States, their first experience with sexual intercourse was rape, according to a study. Now, more than 3.3 million American women aged 18 to 44 were raped the first time they had sexual intercourse. And according to the study, they said that there was an unwanted first sexual intercourse
Starting point is 00:32:05 that is physically forced or coerced. And they're saying that's a distinct form of sexual violence. They said, we feel it is accurate to describe these events as rape. According to Dr. Laura Hawks, who is a primary care physician and research fellow at Harvard Medical School who co-authored the study. They said that 6.5% of women surveyed had an unwanted first sexual intercourse that was
Starting point is 00:32:25 forced and it appears to be common. All right, now a California man has died in the seventh vaping-related illness. That man was 40 years old. And now the CDC is saying, the Center for Disease Control is saying they have identified 380 cases of lung illness associated with the use of e-cigarettes in 36 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Earlier this month, they also said they were investigating at least 450 possible cases. What does this mean? It's time to stop vaping. We've already told you they're trying to pass all kinds of laws so that they can get rid of the flavored e-cigarettes because a lot of these kids are being marketed to that way.
Starting point is 00:33:02 So we'll see what happens with that. But in the meantime, right now, that is the seventh person they know that has died thus far. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Front Page News. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, when we come back, Swiss Beats will be joining us. So we'll kick it with Swiss. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Good morning. 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.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. 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
Starting point is 00:33:48 of my country, my forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket
Starting point is 00:33:56 with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!
Starting point is 00:34:03 We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 Run High, is all about. It's a
Starting point is 00:34:39 chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the 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. Listen to Post Run High 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.
Starting point is 00:35:30 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.
Starting point is 00:36:07 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. Hi, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. I call him my inspiration. Swizz Beatz, ladies and gentlemen. Podcasts. And happy belated birthday. It was also your birthday. Yes, thank you, thank you. Did you just hop on a private jet? No, I took JetBlue. Really?
Starting point is 00:36:48 Yeah. What time you flew? Oh, I forget the time difference. What time was that when that video went up? I left right after. Got you, got you, got you. You gotta love Swiss. Swiss just bought a crazy mansion, crazy vehicles, and got on that JetBlue to get his ass in. JetBlue's my favorite airline.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Get in that mid-seat, go to sleep, you good. Absolutely. Yeah. Now, let's talk about this house. Now, tell us a little bit about this razor home that you purchased. Oh, man. It's just been on the bucket list for about eight years. And it's crazy when your screensaver come to life.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Oh, that's hard. Yeah. Yeah. It just happened. And Wiles Cunningham is the designer. Always loved it from the movie. I'm still bugging. So you're looking at this for eight years?
Starting point is 00:37:32 Yeah. Was it not for sale at the time? It wasn't for sale. I never thought it was ever going to be for sale. And then I seen my realtor from L.A. He posted that it has inspiration. And then I wrote him a text. I was like, yo, I'm getting that one day.
Starting point is 00:37:49 And he was like, yeah, everybody says that. I said, no, no, I'm getting that one day. It might not be right now, but I'm getting that one day. And like four months later, he called me like, guess what? We got the listing for that. I'm like, it's for sale? Then I just happened to be going to LA that day, landed in LA,
Starting point is 00:38:04 went out there, and seen it. Wasn't even on no buying vibe, but just more of inspiration. And then it just started doing its thing. Yeah, because the price went down a lot from when it was first listed. Yeah. And then, yeah, that's hard because how do you know how much to offer, too? Because at the same time, I'm sure they tell you other people want the house, and then you have to say, okay, let's just be reasonable here. I didn't let it go to market.
Starting point is 00:38:26 That was the key. When you have something like this, you can't let it go to market. I'm taking it regardless. You have to move kind of fast. And that's why I was just so abrupt. I told my dad, sorry dad, the day before it happened, I was like, come see your grandkids. Because we out.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Because we out. We out. Is that out! We out! So is that the primary home now? Yeah. And so does that mean, like, did you sell anything else? No, not yet. We're just flowing. We're just taking it out.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Don't get it twisted. Swiss bought Eddie Murphy's house a couple years ago. So he's been on that. Speaking of business, how has graduating from Harvard helped your music career? And you really went, right? You didn't take the online course? I'm just messing with you. And just your business overall, how has it helped?
Starting point is 00:39:12 It just made me, like, think bigger and know how to think bigger, actually. You know, like, we can think of, like, anything. It's like, okay, these cups, I want to put, I want these cups to glow in the dark, for instance. I actually know how to really put that plan together without hiring so many people to do this for me, which is like, okay, well, this person's going to do this. Now we need this person to do that. Now we need the person. Before you know it, by the time your idea comes to life, your whole company's diluted,
Starting point is 00:39:39 and you then spend all this money on somebody that you could have did 50% of the work and then go for a Series A round, which is the first time where you raise money and really have a clear slate and a full idea. So I wasn't thinking like that before. Before, I would be like, OK, this is a neon cup. Let me find out who did the neon cups. Let me find a person who's going to do this. Let me find you. You're banking on all these people to build your idea. And so that's why I understand why education is so important. Because you can actually build your ideas if you're a student and understanding the business that you're in.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Well, let's talk about some of the businesses that you are working for currently. I know you work with Bacardi. So what's the role of Bacardi? Global creative director. So I run like all the strategies like, 300 brands in the portfolio. Mm-hmm. So just making sure they, you know, doing what they need to do. But, like, right now, I'm just focusing on building my own brands.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Right. You know, Dean Collection, Smart Collection, which is the app, Creative Land, which is this campus that, 110 acres, where creatives can actually go and get educated and actually do the things they love to do. Like even the classes are going to be like two week classes. Right. Right. Not three years and all these different things, because I went to the class. I learned the most in Harvard was, you know, sorry, Harvard. It's the truth was this three week class called Launching New Ventures.
Starting point is 00:41:05 And that taught me how to launch ventures. You want to be able to put your book bag on and go. You know what I'm saying? The people want to go now. We don't got patience to sit there three years, do this, collect all this debt, come out. Then you're just fighting for the debt. And I thought that was a great concept to do the three-week class. But the last week was more like recap.
Starting point is 00:41:25 So I'm like, two weeks out was good because you want to keep it as short as possible because of the attention span. And so that's going to happen. It's going to be pretty crazy. Now, what about music? You're so successful with music. I see DMX back rapping and back spitting.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Now, what are you doing musically? Right now, the creative music producer on the show, Godfather Harlem, me and Farris Whitaker, Chris Broncato, who wrote Narcos. I mean, the cast is crazy. And, you know, for me, doing a TV show is a big commitment, and it takes up a lot of time. But the Bumpy Johnson story has always been an interest
Starting point is 00:42:01 with my family growing up in Harlem and me going from the Bronx to Harlem all the time. It was like you know what i can i can actually have fun with this because i turn down i turn down these things all the time because they like want to pay you nothing and then once you're sitting there giving a thousand hours and i'm just like i can't do it but this one um we had a party every night in the studio making this and and you know just bringing the vibes and because what happens when we watch these shows the music it's like you got the Bumpy Johnson story and you got this song
Starting point is 00:42:29 with Bumpy Johnson like and I wanted to protect that and then Forrest personally called me and I couldn't tell him no you know so that was a good one yeah they got me with that one but um you know,
Starting point is 00:42:46 we got the, it's on Epix. How does that process work when you're doing that? Because like you said, it is a longer process. It's a lot of time dedication. So how do you know like what music fits what scene? How does that process for you? Me, I have the scenes playing in the session.
Starting point is 00:43:02 So like what I did was I did a big writing session where I just had interesting artists that I normally wouldn't work with, like a Jidenna, you know, Buddy, putting Ross and X on the track together. Just different people from all over the world as well. But what I did was I made them come in and start to live with scenes
Starting point is 00:43:21 and told them to write, you know, write something that you feel from what you're watching. And so I got five rooms going and it was happening. People started incorporating the show but still being them and not just doing it like the... You know, because most of these shows, they just want to pull hit records that's out
Starting point is 00:43:37 and then that's the song. And I hate when they do that. Some songs in there are not hits on purpose. Some songs are songs for that moment and that move. So I didn't really go for hits. I'm like, the hits, we can do that in the next season. But like, let's get the feeling. Let's get the groundwork going to where you actually feel something when you're watching the show.
Starting point is 00:43:55 And so it was fun. So you got people actually working in the studio. No emailing versus? Nah. None of that s***, you know? Nah, nah, nah. You got to sit down and be a part of this. You know,
Starting point is 00:44:05 because that's how you're gonna get the best work. All right, we got more with Swiss Beats. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Swiss Beats is here. Charlamagne. The last time you put out Poison,
Starting point is 00:44:21 you said that there was a record with Jay-Z, Nas, DMX, and Jadakiss that you didn't put on the album. Why not? Because, man, one, everybody want to make a better verse. That's why I got 3,000 songs that have never probably come out. Because once you go to that high caliber with these geniuses, and then you put in other geniuses with other geniuses,
Starting point is 00:44:44 it becomes, I need to do my verse over that line. that high caliber with these geniuses and then you put in other geniuses with other geniuses with other, it becomes, I need to do my verse over that line. I said, I need to do this and at one time I was just going to say,
Starting point is 00:44:51 I'm going to just put it out. What are you going to do, sue me? Yeah. Yeah. But why are you doing it again? You think it's the
Starting point is 00:44:59 collaboration aspect of it? Like when Jay finds out Nas is on there and Nas finds out X is on there and vice versa, they're like, yo, let me hear what they say and maybe write something harder. Yeah, they all inspire by each other.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Yeah. Right? So it gets hard. I mean, if it's not being done right then and there and put out like that week, you probably could forget about it. Because now they got too much time to overthink it. Send it to me again. Let me hear that again. That sounds old.
Starting point is 00:45:21 That was two months ago. Yeah, that's old. That's not even what I'm on right now. I said this about this and that person, and we're cool now. It's a lot of that. I don't know. That's been going on. I wonder what producer got better posse cuts than Swiss.
Starting point is 00:45:34 That just jumped in my mind because I thought about Bam from TV. I thought about Blackout. I thought about Rough Riders, World War III. Who got better posse cuts than Swiss? I think a lot of people got a bunch of posse cuts. I think who has a better dynamic of posse cuts? Especially at a time when, like when I did State Your Name Gangster,
Starting point is 00:45:55 it was all East Coast. It wasn't like mixed up like how it's now. And I was just like, man, you know, my sound comes from the East Coast, but I want to represent everybody. Carl Snoop, Carl Scarface, but I want to represent everybody. Call Snoop, call Scarface, had a young one from Atlanta,
Starting point is 00:46:08 you know, just to make that, that track got kissed. And it was just, I remember pulling it off and I was like, yo, Snoop showed up.
Starting point is 00:46:16 That was like a big deal for me. Then Scarface just pulls up. Even getting the verses from them felt special. And, I just feel like we got to like, make the, make the feature special again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Not so predictable. What's going to feel special to where you really care more than five seconds of the song? And so that's what I've just been challenging myself with. But I've been finding those collaborations outside of America. They got people that... Every artist that we have in America, there's an artist like that in Africa. There's an artist like that in India. There's an artist like that all over the world. That's really dope.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Like everybody that we love. Right. And so I think my next couple of projects, you're going to definitely hear some diversity happening. Why is it so hard for artists to break here from other countries? Because of the language barriers. Yeah, I think so. Because even like when I put gigs on the track, I look at the comments
Starting point is 00:47:08 they don't like his voice. They're like, yeah, but the accent is making me feel funny. We just gotta be a little bit more open-minded because music is global. It's the global language. Right, because they cannot know English and you go there and you still be huge. Huge. America going,
Starting point is 00:47:23 artists going other places and people still somehow could kind of know the lyrics and sing along, even if they don't speak English. Yeah, but what's happening now is everybody's catching on to that. So now we're not as high as we think we are over there. Right. Now they got their whole culture that you got to kind of try to fit in.
Starting point is 00:47:40 When they was coming over here to make it happen. Absolutely. Now we got to go over there and try to fit in some type of way. Not me. I've been supporting everybody for a minute, but I see artists coming over there, and I see how they're treating them. Even DJs.
Starting point is 00:47:52 At one time, you go overseas, whether it's Japan or South Africa or Africa, and you go and you DJ, and you played all New York music or all U.S. music. But now it's like you might play 10% of it, but you playing South America, you better know their artists. I was in South America last December, and before J&B went on, and after Ed Sheeran, right?
Starting point is 00:48:14 It was Casper Novest. I think I'm probably making it up in the name, but Casper killed it! But he went on after Ed Sheeran and before J&B. Like, he was the co-headliner like that. And he killed it more than everybody. Yes. It's his town.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Yes. That place is similar to the UK. You go over there, they're going to respect a couple of your records. But they represent for their own. They got their own zone, zone, zone. Stormzy, Black Day. Yeah. Which is crazy.
Starting point is 00:48:39 I can't believe people can't get past the language barrier because it's not like dudes from Atlanta sound like dudes from New York or dudes from the West sound like dudes from New York. Like, they got accents, too. Look, they about to not have a choice because it's happening so rapid and it's getting super big. Like, it's getting bigger than our music over here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Which is a good thing because we comfortable. I want to ask you about the posse cuts again. What's the Swiss Beach favorite posse cut of his? I like Blackout a lot. Blackout is hard. I like Blackout a lot. Like, is hard. I like Blackout a lot. Jay came in the way he came in at the end of that. I'm a monster.
Starting point is 00:49:09 I'm a monster. I sleep whole winters, wake up and eat summers. Putting up Will Smith numbers. Bam from TV too. Bam from TV might be the one though. Bam from TV was a different one. That was two really totally different people from different places. That might be the one, y'all.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Bam from TV was so early, I didn't even want it to be a posse cut. Really? I was upset that it was a posse cut at first. Who record was it originally? It was Nori's. And you just wanted Nori on it? Yeah, because he had What What.
Starting point is 00:49:35 It was like that time, and I just came off of producing Cam'ron's album, and then straight into that. But then Nori just used the intro, so that's the intro. The beat never dropped. They just kept looping the intro. And it was driving me.
Starting point is 00:49:51 That was the intro. Okay, that makes sense. That's why the trumpets was blowing like that. That was the intro. Did you complete the beat? Is there something that comes on after that? Yeah, but they just kept looping the intro. And I'm like, yo, I got to drop the beat, though.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Nori's like, nah, everybody's rapping on it like this. I was hot at Nori that day. I was like, man, I love this studio. Nori put that collaboration together. Yeah, Nori put that collaboration together. Nori went and got Kissing Styles, Cam, Pun, Nature. Yeah, Pun got on it. He gangsta'd his self on it. I'm on it. He gangsta'd his cell phone.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I'm on it. He's like, what are you going to do, take me off? All right, we got more with Swiss Beats when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:50:37 We are The Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with Swiss Beats. And what's up with the dog? How's the dog doing? He in good spirits. He in good spirits. He's in the best zone I've seen him maybe since the first album. Really?
Starting point is 00:50:48 Yeah. Yeah, like wanting to do it again, showing up clean in his zone. You know, we just shot the video for Justin Case off the Godfather Harlem soundtrack. So you working with the dog? Does he got records done on his project, or is he? Yeah. Y'all been had an album done, though.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Yeah, we got. New one. All we, new one. All right. New one. Yeah, he, you know, shout to Def Jam. You still signed to Def Jam? Just.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Resigned with Def Jam? Yeah, yeah. Just re-signed. Wow. So, you know, it's going to be a good year for him. God willing. That's good.
Starting point is 00:51:19 He needs that now. Absolutely. After going through everything he done went through. I just wanted it to just happen so it could be like, so he could just go where he needs, where he's been supposed to have went. You know, like a lot of people got saved
Starting point is 00:51:31 because X wasn't really in his right form. And he missed a lot of time, but you know what? Them people still show up to them shows, man, and he just does something different to them. You know, like the youth and everything. Like, they singing the words like they was here when we did these records. I'm like, whoa.
Starting point is 00:51:48 Well, X is anointed, though. Facts. Anybody that's ever been around X can tell, like, God is in DMX. I don't give a **** what his condition is. I don't care what he on. He is anointed. 90 lives.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Different type of zone. Yeah. But he's one of the most generous people I know. He is. Also. Like, we went out one time and it wasn't even like that for him like that.
Starting point is 00:52:08 He paid for everybody in the restaurant food. Everybody in the restaurant? Everybody. He was like, God told me to pay for everybody's food. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:52:18 he said that? I can't understand. I was like, man, and the ill part was we was the only black people in the restaurant. Now what restaurant was it before we get too excited now? It doesn't matter. Even if it was a, man. And the ill part was we was the only black people in the restaurant. Now, what restaurant was it before we get too excited now?
Starting point is 00:52:27 It doesn't matter. Even if it was a diner, man. It's still a lot of people. It was like some diner upstate where he was at where I went to go visit him. But then, so he paid for all the food. I went up there to go see him by myself. I was driving something up there because he liked to drive. So I'm like, you know, just lifting his spirits up and just doing what we do.
Starting point is 00:52:47 And then he's like, yo, Scarface is performing. I'm like, okay. And he's like, in Boston. So we got to drive to Boston to go see Scarface perform. And where was y'all at here? We was like two hours upstate New York. Okay. So then we had to drive like four and a half hours to Boston to see Scarface.
Starting point is 00:53:08 What music do y'all listen to in a car on a drive like that? What were y'all driving? That's like when I first got to 720. You drove your McLaren. So y'all McLaren got mad miles on it right now. Four and a half hours. But what do y'all listen to? They're all because of him.
Starting point is 00:53:21 What's that soundtrack in the car y'all listen to? He like to listen to old school music, but mostly in the car. I'm not going to lie. We communicate. Y'all talk? Yeah, we communicate. It's like the perfect time for us to just talk about everything. Because even though we super close, we don't have a lot of sitting down time.
Starting point is 00:53:39 It's a lot of passing you good, this, that. And that's one thing I encourage for us to sit down with our friends and our loved ones and really find out how they're doing. Because most of the people, they're bothering us, but they really don't want to bother us. So they're going to get past the things that they have to bother us with. But if you sit down long enough, they're going to start telling you the real stuff they don't want to bother us with.
Starting point is 00:54:00 And hearing him, it allowed me to kind of critique certain different things in his favor because I know where his mind was at. So it's like, I'm guessing, I'm thinking he like, this is like, man, he just want this. Right? And so knowing each other is like, it's something major that we should definitely work on. I want to go back to something you said about X. You said X is such a giver. Yeah. He's so generous.
Starting point is 00:54:23 You the same way. Do you think it is because y'all might be trying to repair the karma when y'all was sticking people up? Nah, man. Nah. That's the untold story that people know but don't know. I mean, we was having fun. That's not fun. Robbing people.
Starting point is 00:54:40 We was young, having fun. I think giving back is just in my DNA. My whole family gave and give back. I actually like giving things more than receiving things. It just feels right. And if somebody's genuine and is feeling right, I don't even think about it. I remember even with A$AP Rocky one time,
Starting point is 00:55:03 this prince gave me this ring, and I lost the ring for like a year and a half. I found the ring the day that I went to go see A$AP in the studio. He wanted to play me his record. When I got next to A$AP, the ring was like hurting my hand, and he was like complimenting the ring. It was bugged out. He was complimenting the ring.
Starting point is 00:55:21 This is serious. This is a million-dollar ring. It was a gift. I took the ring off and gave it to him. Right? It just felt like it was for him at that time. And first time I'm talking about it since that was years ago. No, I tell people all the time,
Starting point is 00:55:35 the first time I ever seen any real money in this industry, it was because of Swizz. Because Swizz, I gave him a CD. I had a CD out called South Crack the Album. That's crazy. And we met at Maino's High Hater video shoot. And you gave me an email. And you was like, yo, find one him a CD. I had a CD out called South Crack the Album. That's crazy. And we met at Maino's High Hater video shoot. And you gave me an email. And you was like, yo, find one of these artists.
Starting point is 00:55:50 I'll do a song with them. And I'll take you to whatever label you want to go to. And he did it. He did a record with them. He came to the meeting at Asylum. Swiss, you ain't been in the office in years. And I didn't even know Swiss like that. I'm just a sidekick on Wendy Williams' show.
Starting point is 00:56:03 I'm like, damn. So for me, I always was like, yo, that that. I'm just a sidekick on Wendy Williams show. I'm like, damn. So for me, I always was like, yo, that's how I'm gonna always move. I'm gonna always give more of myself to people. Even if I, you know,
Starting point is 00:56:12 don't gain anything from it, I don't have to, just do it because it's the right thing to do. It's the real currency. Like everything else don't matter. Like what matters
Starting point is 00:56:19 is your character, who you really are. Like all of the cars and all these different things, we like it, but who you are and what you do of the cars and all these different things, we like it, but who you are and what you do and how you embrace,
Starting point is 00:56:28 teach, that's real legacy building. Right? And now with my kids and them watching me very close now, like these things, it makes me have to like
Starting point is 00:56:37 step my game up even more. This is just a hip hop fan question. Like you're so close to Hov, you're so close to X. When they had their little issue, where did you fall in all of that? I was on our side. Just naturally so.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Just like how their team was on their side. But I knew it was like a musical thing, right? It wasn't no street thing like that. It felt like a street thing, but it wasn't
Starting point is 00:56:59 no street thing. I liked it, actually. I loved that it made everybody want to step their bars up and get real competitive. Like, I feed off of that. I loved that it made everybody want to step their bars up and get real competitive. I feed off of that. That's the stuff that started me making the
Starting point is 00:57:09 tracks that I made was off of those aggression and the confusion and different things. That's where hip-hop started. It started as an expression to let it all out. I like when people act that way to each other. Yeah. what about when
Starting point is 00:57:25 Jay was president of Def Jam though and didn't want to put X album out like um I just think cuz X got really vocal then I just think I just think they both just had miscommunication to be honest you know I don't think that Jay purposely did something to trap X like that I just think that it was a very sensitive situation whole guy in the position sitting here like like you're at the desk and it just made it a little bit more sensitive if it was probably a white person with a suit on gotcha right and then later on they they figured out that it was a bunch of miscommunication and things could have probably have been done better nobody was really everybody was on you know in their own zone at that time everybody wasn't being
Starting point is 00:58:05 rational you know we just point and go and so I look forward for them doing a record together
Starting point is 00:58:12 I'm sure they're on good terms now they're both grown they're good well Swiss we gotta thank you for joining us and thank you

Starting point is 00:59:22 Hmm. All of the above. Okay. All right. You better keep that same energy when he get on Instagram and call you out. Say what?
Starting point is 00:59:30 I can't laugh at him? He's an entertainer. Clearly you can't laugh at him. Oh. All right. Can our camera guy Steve sing along to that song? No.
Starting point is 00:59:38 No, he cannot. He can say certain parts. He just can't say the slave part. Yeah. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk GD Mai. Or the GD Mai.
Starting point is 00:59:45 GD Mai or GD Mai? Mai. GD Mai. GD Mai.'t say the slave part. Yeah. Alright, well let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Jeannie Mai. Jeannie Mai. Jeannie Mai or Jeannie Mai? Mai. Jeannie Mai. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Sorry, Jeannie Mai. Well, look at this budding relationship. Jeannie Mai has been dating Jeezy for almost a year. Now we've seen pictures of the two of them
Starting point is 01:00:01 out together and she's even referenced it on The Real before, but now it looks like they have locked in. And here's what Jeannie Mai had to say about Jeezy. Getting to know him has been one of the most beautiful experiences. He's introspective, he's passionate, he's incredibly deep, he's a visionary. And the things that I've been criticized for my whole life and my past relationships, Jeannie, you're too deep. You think about things too much. Like, why does everything got to have a purpose?
Starting point is 01:00:26 And I'm not one for small talk or small conversations. I want to know, why do you think the way you do? What brought you to look at things the way you do? Who are you? Who's important to you? And I found my equal. I'm happy. I'm happy for Jeannie. I'm happy for Jeannie. Jeannie's a good person. Jeannie Ma seems like
Starting point is 01:00:41 she's a great person, so I'm happy for them. Yeah, and they got a good name that goes together. They could be Jeannie Ma. You know what I person. Jeannie Ma seems like she's a great person, so I'm happy for them. Yeah, and they got a good name that goes together. They could be Jeezy Ma. You know what I mean? Jeezy Ma. All right. And in addition to that, she discusses her first date with Jeezy. First, they went out and got some sushi, and then they kept the night going. He looks at me, and he's like, yo, you want to like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:01:00 I don't want to go home. Do you want to go salsa dancing with me? He's an amazing dancer, by the way. Sick dancer, yes. And we walk out. He looks at me. He goes, can I give you a homework assignment? And I go, why? Because I'm an Asian? And he's like, no. I want you to think about the last eight hours we just spent together. And think about what do you envision us doing together?
Starting point is 01:01:21 What do you picture me being in your life? If this matches my notes, I will pursue you. Okay, Jeezy! With the game. With the game. Now, why I gotta be game? No, just, just stop.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Everything ain't game. It's just some women understand your story. I love it, though. Jeezy told her his story and told her what he was looking for and she, you know, was with it. That's all.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Shout to Jeezy. Now, she also said they both just came out of 10-year relationships, and the timing was great after their long-term relationships. This is what healthy love is like. I would love to see Jeezy dance a salsa, though. I would love to see that. Because dancing salsa is not easy.
Starting point is 01:01:58 So I would love to see that. Yeah. I wonder if there's some type of video that exists. All right. Where the hell did he learn how to salsa? That's what I'm saying. When did Jeezy learn how to salsa? Where the snow he learn how to salsa dance? That's what I'm saying. When did Jeezy learn how to salsa dance?
Starting point is 01:02:07 Where the snowman learn how to salsa? All these years in the trap, they wasn't doing no salsa dancing. Them parties Hannah used to throw for BMF in Atlanta, there wasn't no salsa dancing. And you know, he also speaks Spanish fluently. Who? Really? No, I'm kidding. I'm like, well, you learned a lot from your flaws, huh?
Starting point is 01:02:21 You learned a lot from the niggas you was buying dope from. All right. Issa Rae is developing a Set It Off remake. According to Variety, she will produce and also possibly star in that movie. So Set It Off is a classic. Not mad at that. Not mad at that. Set It Off is a great film.
Starting point is 01:02:37 We need a modern day Set It Off. I'm not mad at that. All right, and Kanye West has officially announced the release date for his ninth album, Jesus Is King. Now, he went on social media, and he put a track listing, and he put September 20, I think that's a 7, September 27th. And it has 12 songs according to that photo that he posted on there. So, looks like he's been really inspired by doing all of these, his Sunday services.
Starting point is 01:03:07 All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right. Thank you, Missy. Charlemagne. Yes. Who are you giving that down to? You know, let's talk about hate hoaxes in America.
Starting point is 01:03:15 You know, hate hoaxes are at an all-time high. You know what a hate hoax is? Nope. It's a hate crime, not a hoax. So I need this guy named Adon Kaufman to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. All right. We'll get into that next.

Starting point is 01:05:37 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.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat.
Starting point is 01:06:46 It's the Breakfast Club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Well, Ed Sheeran, donkey of the day for Tuesday, September 17th goes to a former NFL player named Edon Lewis Kaufman. Now, Edon is a business owner. He owns a spot called Create and Bake Pizza in Kaufman's Creamery. A caller reported that someone was inside his restaurant damaging his business. He's someone broke inside the restaurant with a crowbar and spray painted with a black spray can all over the walls.
Starting point is 01:07:16 Black spray paint all over the walls. A bunch of racially motivated words and swastikas and the word MAGA everywhere. All right. Several booth cushions were sliced open, broken mirrors, cut wires, and a damaged video surveillance system. The smell of fresh spray paint filled the air. In fact, police say it was very fresh. When officers touched it, the paint still appeared wet. Well, thank God there was a witness, and the witness saw a black car
Starting point is 01:07:39 with no license plate fleeing the scene, and he gave police all the details. Are you following me? Let's pay attention to the clues, people. Black fresh spray paint on the walls. Crowbar was the tool to break in. Suspect was seen in a black car with no license plate for damaging Create and Bake Pizza and Kaufman's Creamery. Now, I know you're saying to yourself,
Starting point is 01:07:59 well, why is the owner, Edan, getting donkey of the day? Somebody breaks into his business, vandalizes it, and the owner of the business gets donkey of the day. Why, Charlemagne? Well, let's go to CNN for the report, please. When police showed up to the create and bake pizzeria and the adjoining Kaufman's Creamery, they thought there was a robbery in progress. The two restaurants were trashed inside. Racial slurs were spray painted on the walls, including the N word, the word monkey, swastikas and MAGA. Officers tracked down the business owner, 31-year-old Edan Kaufman, a former NFL player. He was sitting in his truck with a hoodie and gloves on. He said that he was the victim of a
Starting point is 01:08:36 burglary that occurred earlier in the day and that he was just coming back to the business to retrieve those items. Police say Kaufman hadn't called police. Instead, he'd called his insurance company about the alleged burglary. The license plate was inside the truck. It also revealed the fact that there were two cans of spray paint and also a yellow crowbar. The yellow crowbar is important because the back of the business had some yellow pry marks on the back door. Kaufman told police the vandalism happened earlier in the day, but the smell of fresh paint told a different story. If the burglary and the vandalism had occurred earlier in the day like he told us, that paint would not still be wet. Police say the entire hate crime and burglary was fake. Edan Kaufman has clearly been studying the
Starting point is 01:09:21 book of Smollett. I would never understand minorities who stage hate crimes as if it's not a lot of those going around already. People who are actual victims of hate crimes are traumatized. They don't want that trauma. We don't want to feel oppressed and marginalized, but for whatever reason, hate hoaxes have been a play that has been ran a couple of times this year. Now, Adon is out on bond,
Starting point is 01:09:40 but his attorney says he is presumed innocent like anyone else who was accused of a crime. Don't prejudge him without knowing all the facts his attorney is absolutely correct but we have to learn from other people's mistakes and i can't believe edan didn't learn from jesse smuley all right things like this simply don't work and they especially don't work when you get caught with all the tools you use to break in to your own establishment, okay? And several TVs in the back of your truck, some of which were still attached to the brackets with damaged drywall still on them. And driving the same car that the witness saw with no license plate like Edan.
Starting point is 01:10:15 Come on, guy. He's been charged with false report of a crime, insurance fraud, and concealing a license plate. I'm going to write me a children's story called The Boy Who Cried MAGA. It will be an updated version of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. People always, you know, talk children's story called The Boy Who Cried Maga. It will be an updated version of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. People always, you know, talk about that story, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, but we always forget, you know, when it comes to these,
Starting point is 01:10:32 comes to that story, nobody cared. And all his sheep died. And Don Kaufman, you're in that category right now. So go over there and sit by Mr. Smollett and shut the F up forever. Please give you Don Kaufman, the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.
Starting point is 01:10:52 You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. You want all the basic racial slurs, too. The N-word, monkey, then MAGA. What if you're a black person that supports Trump? There are plenty of those. So you're like a MAGA-loving monkey. That's good.
Starting point is 01:11:15 Somebody needs to use that one. Right. All right. You don't think so? No. MAGA monkey. Thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, let's talk about something Fantasia said yesterday on The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:11:27 Can we play a clip? It's a generational curse in how society have placed our men. And women have to stand up and be the mother and the father and the provider. And so then now you are so bad. So you can't be told nothing that when the right man come, you lose him because you're trying to beat the man. Can we be equal? Oh, of course. Because at the end of the day, I'm the neck, my man's the head.
Starting point is 01:11:50 So he can't make any moves without his wife. You know what I mean? It all works together. But you can't be the head of the house. You've got to let the man be the head of the house. All right. I wasn't here for this, so give me some context. What's the context of this?
Starting point is 01:12:01 She's talking about her own relationship. So she's married now, right? And the man that she met, she married him after three weeks of them knowing each other. Correct. Okay. And she's now in a situation where she's been in some toxic relationships. And the reason why she feels like her relationship is working is because of these things. Because she's being submissive.
Starting point is 01:12:20 She's basically saying she has to be submissive for the relationship to work. Yeah. So let's open up the forum, Hans. As husbands should be submissive to their wives, wives should be submissive for their relationship to work. So let's open up the forum. As husbands should be submissive to their wives, wives should be submissive to their husbands. I think the best thing is when you can complement each other. There are certain things that I think the man should take the lead on, and there are certain things that the woman is going to take the lead on based on what it is that's happening at the time. That's really what being submissive is.
Starting point is 01:12:44 I think people look at the word submissive and they think it's like some negative word that means you're just being oppressed. But submissive just means I'm putting somebody else's needs before mine. And that's what you should do in a relationship. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Do you feel like women should be submissive in a relationship to make it work? 800-585-1051. I think both parties got to be submissive to make it work. We'll talk about it when we come back.
Starting point is 01:13:02 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your, Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:13:14 The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about Fantasia. She was on The Breakfast Club yesterday, and she was saying in her relationship, her new relationship, she had to be submissive.
Starting point is 01:13:31 She felt like that worked in her relationship. So we're asking 800-585-1051 for a relationship to work. Women, do you need to be submissive? Let's hear Fantasia. It's a generational curse in how society have placed our men. And women have to stand up and be the mother and the father and the provider. And so then now you are so bad. So you can't be told nothing that when the right man come, you lose him because you're trying to beat the man.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Can we be equal? Oh, of course. Because at the end of the day, I'm the neck. My man's the head. So he can't make any moves without his wife. You know what I mean? It all works together. But you can't be the head of the day, I'm the neck, my man's the head. So he can't make any moves without his wife. You know what I mean? It all works together. But you can't be the head of the house.
Starting point is 01:14:09 You got to let the man be the head of the house. All right, guys, what do you think? I think what works for me, it is great when a man can take the lead sometimes. It's great for me when I have a lot of things going on and my boyfriend can just handle things for me. And I love it to be able to do that at times. And then there's times that I do the same thing for him. When there's things that I know my skills are better
Starting point is 01:14:28 and I have to get involved, I make it happen. So I think it's good that you can complement each other, and it's also a matter of knowing that you can trust somebody enough to let them take the lead. I think in my household, it's more we get it done. There is no, well, you got to do this or I got to do this. There's no submissive or I'll fall back. No, we have to get it done. There's things that my wife do
Starting point is 01:14:49 that's better than I and she takes care of that. I like to be able to fall back sometimes. I feel like everything I do in my life, I got to be in charge of everything. We both step up and we both just get it done. There is no, my wife is not falling back for me, for my ego, and I'm not falling back for her ego.
Starting point is 01:15:05 We get it done. We're a unit. Yeah, I mean, the most important thing Fantasia said to me was she said, men haven't been there for their women, or black men haven't been there for their women. I don't know if she said black men or men. I don't remember. But she said men haven't been there for their women,
Starting point is 01:15:19 and so women had to play both roles. When they finally get with a good man, they don't want to let go of that position, and I totally understand that. But I think when you have a good partner, both parties should be submissive. Being submissive just means putting someone else's needs before yours. Like, we are both under each other's authority,
Starting point is 01:15:33 and I'm fine with that. Hello, who's this? I was going to say, for all the guys in my comments on Fantasia who are like, yeah, we need our women to be submissive, y'all got to earn a certain amount of trust from women. You can't just expect to step into a situation and think that you're just going to be the man, take charge, and we're not going to.
Starting point is 01:15:49 That's a fact. Hello, who's this? This is Erica. Hey, good morning. What do you think about women being submissive? I think it's not a bad thing, like Charlamagne said. What's the point of making it a problem with being submissive? If your man is on
Starting point is 01:16:05 his part and he is actually on the two being a man, why would you bash that? There's nothing wrong with that. They're a man. First off, it's hard finding a good man. Once you finally find him, why would you not be submissive to him? It's like
Starting point is 01:16:21 a plus. Submissive just means putting somebody else's need before yours. It's like a plus. Yeah. I mean, literally submissive just means putting somebody else's need before yours. Like, I guess simple. Tiffany. Hey, good morning guys. Good morning. Do you think women should be submissive? Absolutely. Absolutely. I think submissive submission is actually absolutely a beautiful thing. It shows that you trust the person who is leading you. And I think a lot of reasons why women don't submit is because they have big time trust issues. Submissive does not mean that you are a slave to that person. It doesn't make you stupid.
Starting point is 01:16:55 It's a sexy thing. It's like, okay, I trust this man to cover me. I trust this man to protect me. I trust this man to say, you know what, I'm going to make sure that my baby is taken care of. He's honoring me by submitting to him. That's just what I think. I think the word has been taken in the wrong direction. I agree with you. I think
Starting point is 01:17:13 submission in a marriage is a sign of strength not a weakness and it requires a great degree of personal strength for character. 800-585-1051 Should women be submissive in a relationship to make it work? This comes out of our conversation out of what Fantasia was saying yesterday. And I think it's a lot of pushback because we say just women.
Starting point is 01:17:34 Like, no, men need to be submissive to their wives as well. You got to fall back sometimes, too. Absolutely. It's a spirit of respect a wife has toward a husband or a husband has toward a wife. All right. That's it. Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:17:44 It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Fantasia.
Starting point is 01:18:04 She was here yesterday, and she was talking about her relationship and her having to be submissive. Let's listen. It's a generational curse in how society have placed our men. And women have to stand up and be the mother and the father and the provider. And so then now you are so bad, so you can't be told nothing, that when the right man come, you lose him because you're trying to beat the man. Can we be equal?
Starting point is 01:18:28 Oh, of course. Because at the end of the day, I'm the neck, my man's the head. So he can't make any moves without his wife. You know what I mean? It all works together. But you can't be the head of the house. You got to let the man be the head of the house. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:18:42 So we're asking, do women have to be submissive to make a relationship work? Khadijah. Hey, can you hear me? I can hear you now. Good morning, Khadijah. Good morning, you guys. Angelina Yashalame and DJ Envy. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:18:53 I agree. Yes. Good morning. But yeah, I agree. I've been married going on six years now. And when I first got married very young, I was not submissive. I thought I, you know, could control the relationship and it was failing. But after I became submissive and started, you. I thought I, you know, could control the relationship and it was failing. But after I became submissive
Starting point is 01:19:06 and started, you know, being more, you know, attentive to him, it worked out perfect. And now we're going on six years now. Okay. And as long as both parties are happy, I think that's the most important thing. It's working. Yep. So I do. I agree. So I do believe that both parties should be submissive and the women, she
Starting point is 01:19:21 should, you know, let that man be the house. You know, the head of the house. It'll work out. Okay. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Dani from Boston. Hey, Dani from Boston. We're talking about being submissive in a relationship. What do you think? Listen, I think that submission comes naturally when you're
Starting point is 01:19:37 with the right man. When I was 18, I was with a man who was 8 years older than me. We lasted for about 8 and a half years because I didn't know no better. But I found myself always trying to be, you know, I always had to provide for our family, provide for our kids, provide for his son who wasn't my son. You know, take care of my own daughter, take care of him. He left his job. So I lost that respect for him.
Starting point is 01:20:03 Absolutely. I couldn't treat him like a man. I couldn't treat him like a man because he wasn't being the man that I needed him to be. So now I'm in a new relationship, and I'm with a man where he's not taking care of me, but we meet each other 100-100. And it's so easy. Like, I can't talk to him the way i used to talk to old boy like i can't even that's because you reach that that's because you literally would that's because you respect him
Starting point is 01:20:33 exactly i respect him you know what i'm saying and he gives me a reason to respect him you know he's like and he's like a man's man like a man should kind of be like, if your father is going to be fixing your tire or something or cleaning your car or detail, you know what I'm saying? Taking care of the household, whatever. That's what he's supposed to do. I shouldn't have to worry about playing my role and playing yours. Because at that point, the balance is off. And then there's no respect.
Starting point is 01:21:01 And that's why I say submission in marriage is the spirit of respect a wife has toward her husband and a husband has toward his wife. I ain't fixing no tie though. Michelle, good morning. We know. Good morning, Charlamagne. What's up, baby? How you doing? We're talking about submissive in a relationship now. Well, I've been married
Starting point is 01:21:19 seven years. I've been with my husband nine years. And I am that woman that Fantasia was speaking about. I am an alpha woman. I am a with my husband nine years. And I am that woman that Fantasia was speaking about. I am an alpha woman. I am a multi-unit manager. Like I'm a boss at work. And recently, my husband and I are coming to a place, we've been through a rough patch. And I think something that I had to recognize in myself is, yeah, where we are right now, especially people from my generation, the crack epidemic, all of that stuff, it took our men. And as women, we had to stand up and do what we had to do.
Starting point is 01:21:50 And so we moved through the world as if this is what we have to do, but we forget that when you're in a partnership, it's more than one person. And with all of the constant oppression that is really the systematic oppression that's happening to our men, we have to provide our men with a place to be the head, to be a man, to be able to exercise those instincts to protect, to serve. It doesn't mean that he is not submissive to me when it has to happen.
Starting point is 01:22:16 But there are times where I really have to take a swallow and sit down and recognize I have to allow him to do this. I have to allow him to be a man. And it's not about denying who I am. It's about allowing him to be the king that he's supposed to be. Absolutely. That's why I really love what she said because it's so true. When she said women had to play both roles,
Starting point is 01:22:35 so when they finally did get with a good man, they didn't know how to let go of that position. I totally understand that. It's like a survival mode thing, really. It is, especially when you have children. My kids need to get fed. My kids need to get clothed. These things need to get done.
Starting point is 01:22:47 But when you, you know, I also think there's nothing worse than a husband who actually cares. And because of things that are not necessarily in his control, he is being blocked to be able to provide and lead his family all outside. I have to give him a place in the home. Absolutely. And I'll be the next. There you go. Alright, well, thank you, Mama. What's the moral of the story, guys? I think the moral of the story is, man, you know, submission in marriage is a sign of strength.
Starting point is 01:23:12 Like I said earlier, it's not a weakness, you know, and it does require a great degree of personal strength of character. And submission in marriage is a spirit of respect a wife has toward her husband and a husband has toward their wife. That's the only reason I think some of these conversations get misconstrued sometimes because it always seems like
Starting point is 01:23:28 it's so one-sided. But no, husbands have to be submissive to their wives as well. And I don't think this conversation for everybody. I don't know if this conversation for boyfriends and girlfriends, okay, people that are just dating because when that person makes a lifetime commitment to you, then you can say, all right, I'll be submissive.
Starting point is 01:23:46 We're a partnership together. But I think in dating, first of all, some people don't even want to get married. They can be partners also. But I also feel like in dating, you're dating somebody with the expectation that this might be somebody you're going to spend the rest of your life with. So you have to start there because I'm not even going to marry somebody that I don't feel like can fulfill the things
Starting point is 01:24:02 that a husband can fulfill. So when do you give that up? When you start really trusting the person and realizing that you're not just walking through life alone anymore? Yeah, when you feel like, I wouldn't even date somebody I didn't think I was going to marry. All right.
Starting point is 01:24:12 Y'all finished arguing? Yeah, that's not an argument. Who said I was arguing? That's not an argument. I love hearing y'all go back and forth. No, it's different for you guys because you guys are married, but for myself and a person
Starting point is 01:24:21 who is in a serious relationship, I think that, first of all, there's people that have been in partnerships longer than people that have been married. Right. That have been together for that long, too, and the same rules can apply. I agree. But you said you wouldn't date somebody you didn't... Yeah, I wouldn't say that's my
Starting point is 01:24:35 boyfriend if I'm not thinking, like, I could potentially marry him. So every man you've dated, you thought about marrying? No, I'm saying I have a boyfriend. I wouldn't make somebody my boyfriend if that wasn't a potential partner for me. So I've been with my boyfriend for five years. Oh, so that's the only boyfriend you've ever had in your life? No, I'm saying I have a boy. I wouldn't make somebody my boyfriend if that wasn't a potential partner for me. So I've been with my boyfriend for five years. Oh, so that's the only boyfriend you've had in your life?
Starting point is 01:24:48 No, well, other boyfriends I've had, yes, I look at them like you date somebody and then that becomes your boyfriend, but you wouldn't make somebody your boyfriend
Starting point is 01:24:55 if you're not taking them serious enough. Like, this could potentially be somebody that I would want to stay with. Oh, so every boyfriend you've had, you've thought about marrying?
Starting point is 01:25:01 Not in high school, but yeah, after high school, I think I've thought to myself, there's a lot of people high school. But yeah, after high school, I think... Once you became an adult. I thought to myself, there's a lot of people you could date. I would only date somebody that I saw was potentially a lifetime partner. Gotcha. Gotcha. Potentially.
Starting point is 01:25:13 Well, we got rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to be talking about somebody who got fired before their first day of work. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:25:30 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's find out somebody who got fired before he even started. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip.
Starting point is 01:25:40 The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Saturday Night Live had just announced that they hired Shane Gillis, and then just a few days after they had made that announcement, they have already fired him. According to a spokesperson for Saturday Night Live, they said,
Starting point is 01:25:56 after talking with Shane Gillis, we have decided that he will not be joining SNL. We want SNL to have a variety of voices and points of view within the show, and we hired Shane on the strength of his talent as a comedian and his impressive audition for SNL to have a variety of voices and points of view within the show, and we hired Shane on the strength of his talent as a comedian and his impressive audition for SNL. We were not aware of his prior remarks that have surfaced over the past few days. Well, what were those remarks? These remarks were actually things that he said that were on a podcast. Check it out.
Starting point is 01:26:20 Give me your next candidate, Dems. Actually, they are running into Chang. Chang, dude. Ah, Dems. Actually, they are running to Chang. Chang, dude. Ah, s***. Yang or Chang? We live in a very strange time when SNL, a comedy show, doesn't understand a comedian at some point may have went too far. If it's any institution who should understand a comedian going too far,
Starting point is 01:26:39 it's one that's been around for decades, like SNL. And the problem I have with this is like, it's not consistent. And the reason it's not consistent because SNL got Eddie Murphy hosting in December. What are they going to do when this generation gets a hold of Raw or Delirious? Yeah, but at least that was years and years and years ago. Does it matter? Yeah. Did you hear what this man said?
Starting point is 01:26:58 And it wasn't a joke. It wasn't like he was telling jokes. Yeah, what he said. How do we know he wasn't telling jokes? He's on a podcast. Yeah, we heard, we just heard the audio. It wasn't, he was talking about Andrew Yang. And it wasn't like in the's on a podcast. Yeah, we just heard the audio. He was talking about Andrew Yang. There's nothing joking about that. And it wasn't like in the reference of... Andrew Yang was on CNN this weekend and said he doesn't think the guy should be fired. Yeah, he didn't feel like he should be fired and that he should lose his job.
Starting point is 01:27:14 But he said he did experience a lot of anti-Asian racism throughout my upbringing. And it hurts. It's something very real. And I don't think that anti-Asian racial epithets are not taken as seriously as slurs against other groups. I just want all of these networks and these TV shows to be consistent. Because once again, what is going to happen when this generation gets a hold of Raw or Delirious and starts being fake outraged? Because Eddie Murphy used gay slurs.
Starting point is 01:27:37 He got Chinese jokes and delirious. Is SNL going to pull Eddie Murphy? Yeah, but that's something that we did at a time. When was that, 15 years ago? 20 years ago? The world has changed for me. Have you been alive the past four or five years?
Starting point is 01:27:48 The world has changed for me. They're pulling things from 15, 10 years ago. This was from last year. This is from last year. This is something from last year. Now, let me tell you how Shane Gillis responded to this.
Starting point is 01:27:58 He said, it feels ridiculous for comedians to be making serious public statements, but here we are. I'm a comedian who was funny enough to get SNL. That can't be taken away. Of course, I wanted an opportunity to prove making serious public statements, but here we are. I'm a comedian who was funny enough to get SNL.
Starting point is 01:28:05 That can't be taken away. Of course, I wanted an opportunity to prove myself at SNL, but I understand it would be too much of a distraction. I respect the decision they made. I'm honestly grateful for the opportunity. I was always a mad TV guy anyway. All I'm saying is we pick and choose who to prosecute and punish,
Starting point is 01:28:20 and I really don't know how any of this works because I don't think people really look at the offenses. They look at the outrage. If it's an overabundance of outrage over something, especially on social media, people react to that. Right, but the problem is I can't tell people what to be offended by. I'm not Jewish. I'm not Asian. You just did because you said that they shouldn't be offended by Eddie Murphy.
Starting point is 01:28:37 I said I didn't like it, but that was 15 years ago. The world was different. 30, actually. 30 years ago, the world was different. But that's my point. This is a newer age and a newer time, and we understand what people like and what they don't like. Okay, so once again.
Starting point is 01:28:47 I think that just saying things like racial slurs just for the sake of saying them, and it wasn't in the context of any, if you listen to what he just said, it wasn't in the context of him telling a joke. It was him saying that. Have you heard some, and by the way, I love Eddie Murphy,
Starting point is 01:28:59 but have you heard some of those, do you remember some of those jokes from Ron Delirious? From 30 years ago? Absolutely. I think as a comedian, when you're doing stand-up, it's different than when you're just having conversation and saying things just for the sake of saying them. I don't think that you can just say anything is okay.
Starting point is 01:29:12 Okay, so when this era gets a hold of Ron Delirious, because they will, because you know how this era does, and they raise hell about Eddie in December, keep that same energy. I don't think you can compare a stand-up comedy routine to him just saying something. Let that effing... I can't even say the word. They're mad at Chappelle.
Starting point is 01:29:30 Why are we acting like this? But this wasn't a stand-up comedy. They was mad at Kevin Hart's tweet. What are we talking about here? Anyway, this wasn't a stand-up comedy. And you know what's interesting? For SNL, the timing of this, this was the first time in the history of SNL that they've ever hired a person of East Asian descent at the same time that he got hired, too. I just want SNL to be consistent.
Starting point is 01:29:50 Because if they're going to be doing this to comedians, then that means there's going to be a whole lot of comedians they can't have host this show or be on this show. Because all of them have said something crazy in their past. All right. Now let's talk about Wendy. The comedy institution. Let's talk about Wendy Williams. She has announced that she's getting two more seasons, so congratulations to her. Drop on the clues bomb about Wendy Williams. She has announced that she's getting two more seasons, so congratulations to her.
Starting point is 01:30:07 Drop on a clues bomb for Wendy Williams. Pray for Kevin Hunter. Attention, Wendy's staff and crew and everybody gather around, she said. The Wendy Show has been renewed through 2022. I love you. So for people who didn't think it could potentially happen, it is happening. She's been hanging out a lot, too, with her and Jason Lee and Cardi B hanging out. Why would people think Wendy wouldn't happen?
Starting point is 01:30:26 Wendy's been on for 11 years already. Well, I think because she had all those issues when she was not able to come to work and she was sick and we didn't know what was going to happen. And there definitely were people saying that they didn't think that the show would get. Wendy Williams got rid of her biggest issue, which was Kevin. And now that she has done that, good for her. That's the reason. Now her show has been. That's the reason Wendy was missing work. And that's the reason Wendy was sick.
Starting point is 01:30:44 It was Kevin Hunter. All right, I'm Angela Gay. And that is your rumor report. Wendy is fine.
