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

The voice of the culture.
People watch The Breakfast Club for, like, 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.
They're, you know, they're listening to The Breakfast Club.
Get your ass up. Good yo, yo. Angelique, that was Papa Charlemagne. Peace to the planet.
It's Monday.
Yes, it's Monday.
Back to the work week.
Yes, and what a long week it shall be.
Yes, it is going to be a long week.
It was a great weekend.
How was your weekend?
Weekend was good.
Friday night, I was in Clifton, New Jersey with my man, Dr. Oz.
I was at the Barnes and Noble in Clifton, New Jersey. Man, dropping the clues bombs for all my tribe that came out to support my new book, Shook One, Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me,
which is available everywhere now.
So we had a good discussion on, you know, mental health issues on Friday,
anxiety, PTSD, all of that good stuff.
Well, this was daddy daycare weekend for me.
So my daughter, she's acting.
She's an actress, and she has a play.
They did, like, seven shows. So I went to, like, three of them. She's an actress and she has a play. They did like seven shows.
So I went to like three of them.
She's a little baby kangaroo.
Not gonna lie.
You know, as in total, the show sucks.
Like it's bad.
You're not supposed to say that.
No, I'm not.
I can say my daughter did great.
You're not supposed to say that.
But the show in total?
You can't say that.
Oh my goodness.
The reason you can't say that is because there's other kids that are in the play with her.
And they'll be like, damn, your daddy said we suck, but you was good.
See, now you're causing division at their school for no reason.
You've been in one of these plays before.
And I keep that to myself.
I was at my daughter's cheerleading competition yesterday morning.
Hey, I thought everybody did great.
I don't know.
I don't know what to compare it to.
Oh, man.
It was pretty. But, hey, my daughter did a great job. She was the best kang don't know what to compare it to. Oh, man. It was pretty.
But, hey, my daughter did a great job.
She was the best kangaroo out there, the best little baby kangaroo out there.
Then my son had a football game.
Shout out to him.
They're going to Disney, I think, in two weeks, the Brick City Lions.
So they won another game.
Shout out to Brick City Lions and all the coaches and the team moms and all that.
And then Tuesday, my daughter's birthday.
She turned 17, and she's taking her driver's test.
Trying to teach somebody how to parallel park is very difficult because for me, it's easy. I still don't know how. For me, it's birthday. She turned 17 and she's taking her driver's test. Trying to teach somebody how to parallel park is very difficult because for me, it's easy.
For me, it's easy.
I'm from New York.
You know how to parallel park.
So I'm like, nah, turn.
Cut.
She's just looking at me like, Dad, this is confusing.
Can I use the rear view cameras?
I'm like, no, you can use the rear view cameras.
The most difficult part of the driver's test is the part of the driver's test you use the least.
I don't parallel park often.
No.
I rarely parallel park.
Like, when I say rarely, I'm talking about rare.
So rare, I don't do it.
Right.
Okay?
Right.
It is what it is.
But she has to learn how to parallel park.
And I'm like, we're from Jersey.
I don't even know where you parallel park in Jersey.
I just don't really think about it.
Definitely never had to parallel park growing up in South Carolina.
No.
We got parking lots.
Okay?
Right? We got parking lots, okay? Right?
We got parking spaces.
So?
Right.
I tried to teach her without using the rear view camera and all the sensors, but she was
like, Dad, that's what they're there for.
And I was like, you're right.
Nah.
So we'll see what happens on Tuesday.
I love fatherhood.
Drop on a Clues bond for fatherhood, damn it.
Today's a long day for me too, man, because tonight at 10 p.m. I'm doing my weekly therapy
session, but I'm doing it live on television.
I'm doing it on VH1 at 10 p.m. I'm doing my weekly therapy session, but I'm doing it live on television. I'm doing it on VH1
at 10 p.m. tonight.
It's called
In Session Live
with Dr. Jess.
Drop on a Clues Bond
for Dr. Jessica Clements.
Are you going to cry tonight?
I don't know.
It depends what
Dr. Jess pulls out of me.
You know?
Whoa.
All right, well,
let's see what she pulls out of you.
I don't cry too often
in therapy.
It's one of those nights.
You know the thing,
the beautiful thing
about therapy,
like, it's like,
you don't have to really cry because you're unpacking a whole bunch of stuff anyway.
Okay.
So it's a bunch of stuff that you thought you had dealt with or stuff that you were just suppressing,
but now you just got the chance to unpack it and put it out there for the world.
Okay.
So we're doing that tonight.
And it's really live, live.
It's no script.
It's no rehearsals.
None of that stuff.
It's live, live. Live, live. Tonight, VH1.'s no rehearsals. None of that stuff. It's live, live.
Live, live.
Tonight, VH1.
10 p.m.
It's called In Session Live with Dr. Jess.
All right.
Well, we have some special people joining us this morning.
Comedian Yamanika Saunders will be joining us.
Hilarious.
And I want y'all to get y'all booze ready.
Oh, boy.
Get ready to boo Yamanika.
I'm going to give y'all her Twitter and her Instagram before the interview is over because I need y'all to boo her today.
And also, former NBA player Sebastian Telfair.
He's from Brooklyn.
He's Stephon Marbury's cousin.
Nice as hell.
Got busy.
Went straight from high school to the league, and then things went sour.
So we'll talk to him about all that.
All right, well, let's get the show cracking.
Front page news.
We've got to talk about Florida and all this recounting that's going on.
And also, California. These fires are just, oh, they're so crazy. We'll got to talk about Florida and all this recounting that's going on. And also, California.
These fires are just, oh, they're so crazy.
We'll tell you all about it when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
How'd that work out for you this summer, not being nice to these, huh?
My goodness.
Still lonely during this fall winter season, huh?
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get some front page news.
Start with sports.
NFL.
Chicago beat the Lions 34-22.
The Saints beat the Bengals 51-14.
The Browns beat the Falcons 28-16.
The Colts beat the Jaguars 29-26.
The Chiefs beat the Cardinals 26-14.
The Bills blew out the Jets 41-10.
The Redskins beat the Buccaneers 16-3. Titans
beat the Patriots 34-10.
The Chargers beat the Raiders
26. Packers beat the
Dolphins 31-12. The Rams beat the Seahawks
36-31. And the Cowboys beat
the Eagles 27-20.
Drop on the clues, Bounce, with my Dallas
Cowboys, damn it. They still suck.
I don't care. They won the game.
I only boycott when they lose.
All right.
Well, the Giants take on the 49ers tonight on Monday Night Football.
By the way, Jay-Z was at the Rams game yesterday.
Yeah, he was.
So, boycott's boycott.
All right, boycott.
All right, boycott.
I don't think there ever really was a boycott, to be honest with you.
And also, it looks like Carmelo Anthony, they're saying,
rumored that he will be released today from the Houston Rockets.
I think that Carmelo Anthony's getting a bad rap, man.
Carmelo Anthony don't deserve to be disrespected the way that he's getting disrespected.
He is. What do you do from this? You might as well just retire.
Y'all act like Houston didn't make a lot of changes in the offseason.
They got rid of Trevor Ariza.
They won 65 games last year.
Don't try to put that all on Carmelo Anthony's shoulders.
He's the reason y'all suck this year.
Yeah, well, it looks like they're going to be releasing him.
I don't know what comes after that.
Did he just score 28 a week ago?
He did.
Jesus Christ.
He missed two games, they say, because of an illness, and I don't know.
But, yeah, they say he's going to be released today.
Now, these fires out in California, things are getting pretty bad.
31 people have died already.
They believe it's 29 fires, and they just can't stop it.
They don't know how it started.
They said it's very dry.
It's a drought out in L.A.
Some of the celebrities that lost their homes, Neil Young, Robin Thicke and Gerard Butler.
So praying for everybody out in California and definitely the firefighters that are out there fighting.
Yeah, I don't understand that fire situation or why they break out in California ever so often.
But it looks devastating.
And I feel for all of those people.
When your president talked about it, he said,
there is no reason for these massive, deadly,
and costly forest fires in California
except that forest management is so poor.
Billions of dollars are given each year
with so many lives lost,
all because of gross mismanagement of the forest.
Remedy now or no more Fed payments.
Jesus Christ, can't you just say your prayers go up to people?
How hard is it just to say, yo, some generic, yo, prayers up for the family?
He's crazy.
Cali will be there for them.
You know, I don't know.
Like, salute to the firefighters that are out there fighting and risking their lives.
And then he said, with proper forest management, we can stop the devastation constantly going on in California.
Get smart.
That's very insensitive.
Yo, he don't care.
Listen, even Smokey the Bear knows not to say. He don't care. Even Smokey the Bear knows
not to say nothing right now. He's not Smokey the Bear. He's to point
at you and say, only you can prevent forest fires.
I don't want to hear that right now, Smokey. Mind
your goddamn business. My goodness.
And that's front page news.
All right. Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051. If you're
upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Maybe you had a bad night or bad weekend
and you just need to vent. Or maybe you want to spread
some positivity. 800-585-1051.

that's right next to us
and I could smell the smoke
and every time
you take a deep breath,
you just kind of lose your,
you lose your breath
trying to,
you know,
breathe through
all these ashes
and stuff that's falling.
You can see the ashes
on top of the city
when you're driving
on the freeway.
It's crazy out here right now.
Just be safe out there, bro.
That's horrible.
Yeah, I'm trying to.

Oh, so how you saw him then?
Well, the lady who he rode with sent me a book.
Oh, got you, got you, got you, got you.

I'm on to bigger and better things to provide

Oh, my God.
Yo, my man, you provided me with laughs for the whole weekend, my man.
You know, I was at work.
I had to stop my forklift because I had to think before everybody else so I could laugh.
So let me ask you a question.
That had me rolling the whole weekend.
So you've been thinking about me f***ing off on my knees all weekend?
Yo, yo, yo, notice how there was only white people that answered. It was just like, yeah, sure, about me f***ing off on my knees all weekend? Yo, yo, yo,
notice how there was only white people that answered.
It was just like, yeah, sure, yeah,
I f***ed off on my knees.
Like, what?
That is not true.
Plenty of brothers
have been telling me
they've been f***ing off on their knees.
I don't know.
You know what killed me?
That y'all took calls.
Oh, my goodness.
That had me rolling.
We had to take a survey.
I think they're going to be
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God,
We Are The Breakfast Club.
1-800-585-105.1.
Have you ever **** off on your knees?
Give us a call.

They don't call us the world's most dangerous morning show for nothing, bro.
I love you guys.
I love Angel Yee.
I love Charlamagne Tha God.
I love DJ Envy.
You guys are awesome.
I listen to you guys at work every morning.
I'm always on my full cliff.
Got you guys in my ears.
Love you guys.
Can I ask you a question?
Did you try to **** off on your knees this weekend?
Hell no.
I ain't never done that in my life.
Yo, let me tell you something.
I did it in a lot of different places and never scenario ever was it ever on my knees.
What about the forklift?
What about on the forklift?
Never, never.
Yo, I started to ask my coworkers.
I was just like, I wasn't even ready for that kind of slander right now. I was just like, let me ask my coworkers. They was like, nah, let me not do that. All right, never. Yo, I started to ask my coworkers. I was just like, I wasn't even ready for that kind of slander right now.
I was just like, let me ask my coworkers.
They was like, nah, let me not do that.
All right, man.
Hello, who's this?
Hello.
Hey, what's your name, bro?
Hey, it's Bill.
What's up?
Hey, what's up, Phil?
Get it off your chest, man.
Nah, it's Bill with a B.
Bill with a B.
Oh, Bill.
What's up, Bill?
Go ahead, man.
What's up, man?
Listen, first of all, I love your freaking show, man.
I love it.
I love it. I love it. I
love it. And the thing is, I'm a retired New York City firefighter. I was involved in 9-11. I nearly
lost my life in the South Tower collapse. I live with survivor's guilt every single freaking day
of having to leave good people, people with 10 times the integrity of myself behind to save my own self when the
South Tower was about to collapse. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about it.
And I also, because I almost lost my life, I had to talk under a city bus that was abandoned that
got hit with a piece of debris. So I was walking around with a hip injury until January. So now
I live in Florida now.
My body's all messed up.
I have to take opiate prescription pain medications,
to which I've never in 16 years, I've never failed the drug test.
I've never abused my medications.
And I also have to take benzodiazepines for anti-anxiety.
Bro, bro, what's this all about, sir?
He's just bitten.
It's a jacked up situation, and they're making me make a choice now
between one or the other because of this stupid opiate epidemic
that is completely ridiculous.
You're taking drugs away from people that need it.
I'm only 43 years old.
I have lung issues.
If you hear the way I'm talking to you, I can hardly even breathe when I'm talking.
And it's just, it's got to stop.
We've got to do something about it.
It's just not fair
to the people
that are actually sick.
And I also want to say
that Charlamagne's new book
is a freaking bomb, man.
It is awesome.
All right.
Thank you, brother.
Thank you, sir.
Shook on anxiety,
playing tricks on me
is out right now.
Why'd you hang up on that, man?
We ain't even get to tell him
prayers up for you,
sending positive energy your way.
You ain't let us say nothing back to the man before you hung up on him.
He's been talking for two minutes.
So what?
The man got a lot going on.
We have to go to break.
Well, at least let the brother, whoever you are out there, man, prayers up for you, positive energy to you, man.
You know, you funny.
At first he was like, what you?
Get in that car, man.
Then as soon as he says, I got Charlamagne's book, he was like, well, how come you ain't praying for me?
No, I'm going to be honest with you.
I was actually looking at my phone, so I wasn't really listening to what he was saying.
Then I just started hearing all these ailments.
I was like, whoa.
All right.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.
Now, when we come back, Michael Jordan called this guy a little bitch.
We'll talk about it when we come back.
Rumors are on the way.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club.
Now, Michael Jordan, probably one of the best players in the NBA ever.
Well, looks like...
The best player in the NBA ever.
Debatable between him and Magic, I think.
And some people even say LeBron James.
No, you're not going to just skip over Kobe and go to LeBron.
Some people say LeBron James.
Those four who we can argue over.
Well, looks like he called Allen Iverson a little bitch the first time they met.
I never forget it because he said, what's up, you little bitch?
I looked at him like, all right, man.
And then I remember one time he told me,
he said, I was telling him, I went to a Charlotte game,
and I was telling him how much he meant to me
and how much I rocked with him.
He was like, man, you wouldn't rock on me like that
because you wouldn't cross me like that.
You goddamn right.
Drop on the tennis bombs for Michael Jordan
for always keeping a chip on his shoulder.
That's why he was the competitor that he was.
That's why he had the will to win that he had and has.
Okay?
And drop on the clues bombs for my man Allen Iverson, too.
I don't know why Allen Iverson feels like he's not ringless.
You know how you look at some people?
What you mean?
He feels like he has a ring.
He feels like he has a championship.
He's my favorite player.
He feels like a champion.
Yeah, he is.
To me, he's a champion. He's my favorite player ever, feels like a champion. Yeah, he is. To me, he's a champion.
He's my favorite player ever, too.
Yeah, he's my favorite player.
Shout out to A.I.
Now, let's talk about this festival that went on over the weekend.
Tyler, the creator, he has a festival.
And the first thing that went crazy on this festival was Pusha T performed.
And in the back screen, there was a sign that said F. Drake.
Now, Pusha T came out and said he did not.
He had no idea about that sign.
He said it was just the tech guy.
Own way of putting it up there, he would never put that up there.
He said if he had a problem or wanted to say it, he would
have said it himself. He didn't need the tech guy
to put F Drake on the back screen. Pusha T definitely
never struck me as a liar. I don't think
he's a liar in no way, shape, or form, but I don't
believe he didn't know about that on his
stage show. A big F Drake
behind you on the backdrop.
No, he would accept that.
He would have did a song about it or something.
What did he say on stage?
I want to know that part.
I want to know what did he say on stage when the F Drake came up behind him.
Did he shout the guy out?
Didn't clown the guy?
I didn't put that up there.
I don't know.
Okay, I need to see that part.
I don't know.
I need to hear more of this story.
Now, Jaden Smith also performed over the weekend.
And let's play a little bit of his performance.
I just want to say Tyler, the creator,
is the best friend in the world,
and I love him so f***ing much.
And I want to tell you guys something
Tyler doesn't want to say,
but Tyler's my motherf***ing boyfriend,
and he's been my motherf***ing boyfriend
my whole f***ing life.
That sucks when you're in love with someone and you publicly claim them, but they don't claim you back.
What you mean?
Like, the least you can do, Tyler, today is make Jaden your man crush Monday.
All right?
That's Will and Jada's son, a man who I call the Gandhi of our time.
That's a catch.
All right, Tyler, you really can't do any better.
I mean, we don't know.
I'm just saying.
Really, make that man your man crush Monday today, Tyler. He said that's his boyfriend. That's always been his boyfriend. Do you have a boyfriend? No, I don't know. I'm just saying. You really make that man your man crush Monday to day, Tyler.
He said that's his boyfriend.
That's always been his boyfriend.
Do you have a boyfriend?
No, I don't have a boyfriend.
Okay.
They're 27 and 20.
That's a seven-year age difference, though.
Yes, it is.
So how you been your boyfriend's day whole life?
I don't know.
I don't know.
All right.
I want a clues bomb for Tyler and Jaden.
If they like it, we love it.
Black love is a beautiful thing.
Hashtag black love.
All right.
Now, also some of the other people that performed,
Playboy Cardi,
A$AP Rocky,
Kid C Ghost,
which is Kanye and Cudi.
I heard they killed it.
Post Malone,
Brockhampton,
Lauryn Hill,
and Raphael Sadeep.
Did Lauryn Hill show up?
I believe she did, yes.
Okay.
All right,
and that is your rumor report.
All right, now when we come back,
we got to talk about
these crazy fires going on
in California,
and also, are they recounting in Florida yet?
We'll tell you all about it.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Wait, you better not play Gold Link.
Did you take Gold Link out?
You took Gold Link out?
Don't play Gold Link.
All right, it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Your mornings will never be the same.
Continue the adventure with Newt Scamander as he teams up with Albus Dumbledore to stop
the dark wizard Grindelwald's plans to divide the wizarding world.
Fantastic Beasts, The Crimes of Grindelwald.
In theaters November 16th, rated PG-13.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ MV Angelique.
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
NFL, all right.
Chicago Bears beat the Lions 34-22.
The Saints beat the Bengals 51-14.
The Browns beat the Falcons 28-16.
The Colts beat the Jaguars 29-26.
The Chiefs beat the Cardinals 26-14.
The Bills blew out the Jets 41-10.
The Redskins beat the Buccaneers 16-3.
The Titans beat the Patriots 34-10.
The Chargers beat the Raiders 20-6.
Packers beat the Dolphins 31-12.
The Rams beat the Seahawks 36-31.
And the Cowboys beat the Eagles 27-20.
Dropping the clues bombs for my Dallas Cowboys, damn it.
They still suck.
Well, you know what?
We did all right this week, so I'm not boycotting this week.
Okay.
You know what?
I'm still boycotting until we get to 500, though.
All right.
Now the Giants take on the 49ers tonight for Monday Night Football.
And also looks like a rumor that Houston Rockets will be releasing Carmelo Anthony today.
Disrespectful.
I think so.
Carmelo Anthony don't deserve that.
Houston made a lot of changes in the offseason.
They didn't re-sign Trevor Ariza, and they won 65 games last year.
The fact that they suck this year is not all on Carmelo Anthony.
Not at all.
Didn't Melo just score 28 like last week?
He did about a week ago, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, if I'm Melo now, what do you do?
Do you retire or do you go to another team?
It's just, you know, it gets to the point where you're like,
you know what, I'm going to tap out.
I really don't know, to be honest with you.
Dropping the clues bombs for Carmelo Anthony.
You're still averaging like 15 points a game.
13 a game.
13 or 14.
But, you know, that's the thing, though.
When you are a career, you know, scorer's the thing though, when you are a career,
you know,
scorer,
people know you to be a scoring machine
and now you're only dropping 13 a game
and you don't play no defense whatsoever.
It's like,
eh,
eh,
I can't do my guy Mello like that.
Now let's talk about these fires out in California,
these wildfires.
Now at least 31 people have died in these fires.
29 in North
California's Camp Fire and two in South California's Woosley Fire. Now, it's pretty nasty out there. A
lot of celebrities have lost their house. A lot of people have lost their house. Houses Neil Young,
Robin Thicke, and Gerard Butler are some of the people that have lost their homes. Now, your
president, Donald Trump, he actually put this on Twitter. He tweeted this. There is no reason for these massive, deadly, and costly forest fires in California
except that forest management is so poor.
Billions of dollars are given each year with so many lives lost
all because of gross mismanagement of the forest.
Remedy now or no more Fed payments.
You got to know when to shut up, bro.
Like, sometimes you just got to shut the F up forever.
Because it's not what you say, it's how you say it.
Like, nobody wants to hear up, bro. Like, sometimes you just gotta shut the F up forever. Because it's not what you say, it's how you say it. Like, nobody wants to hear that right now. They're not gonna run no
Smokey the Bear commercials in California
right now. You're not gonna have Smokey pointing at the TV
saying, only you can prevent forest fires.
I don't wanna hear that right now.
Okay? Not at all. Now he says
with proper forest management, we can stop the
devastation constantly going on in California.
Get smart. But it's not even a
forest fire. No, it's not at all.
It's not at all.
But even if it is, like, come on,
say pray for your families.
I hope everybody's doing good.
I hope everybody got out.
I can text you so many cliche things
to tell somebody when they're going through something.
He just don't care.
My God.
Now, also out in Florida,
which Charlemagne says is probably
one of the craziest states in the U.S.
No, no, no, no, no.
Charlemagne doesn't say that.
Charlemagne absolutely, positively knows, without a shadow of a doubt,
that the two craziest places in America are the Bronx and all of Florida.
Well, it looks like they will be doing a recount.
Andrew Gillum is less than, what, 30,000 away.
So they're going to do a recount and see what's going on.
There's a lot of ballots that haven't been counted.
There's a lot of ballots that haven't just been found.
There's things just popping off.
So they're going to do all the counting this week.
They're saying they have until Thursday,
but a lot of these different counties say they need more time.
We'll count every vote.
We'll see what happens.
Count every vote.
That's democracy.
That's why I have no idea why Andrew Gillum conceded to begin with.
Well, he withdrew that.
He withdrew that.
I know that, but why even concede to begin with when the race was so close,
like it was on that day and still is now?
You don't concede until you count every vote.
And Andrew passed the controller way too fast.
It wasn't even a blowout.
If you're playing 2K and you're down by six with two minutes left in the fourth quarter,
you don't pass the controller.
Nah, I'm going to start chucking threes.
Yeah, you pass it when you're down by 40.
Right.
50.
Right, right, right.
You pass the controller too quick, Andrew.
I agree.
All right, and that is your front page news.
Now, when we come back, we have comedian Yamanika Saunders.
Let me tell you something, man.
I need everybody to get their booze ready.
I need everybody to learn how to properly spell Yamanika.
When you hear her story, you will understand why,
and then we're going to have a petty party in Yamanika's mentions today.
Oh, boy.
Okay.
All right, we'll get to that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club's mentions today. Oh, boy. Okay. All right. We'll get to that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Yes.
Yamanika Sanders.
Yamanika.
Yes.
Saunders.
Saunders.
Saunders.
Or just Yamanika.
Yamanika.
Yes.
Hi, guys.
What do they call you for short growing up?
Yami.
Yami.
Yams. Which is why I'm so glad Yams is popular.. Hi, guys. What did they call you for short growing up? Yami. Yami. Yams.
Which is why I'm so glad yams is popular because I feel like people are calling me all the time.
I love yams.
I feel like I'm eating too much yams.
Well, obviously, I eat a lot of yams.
Okay.
So, yes, thanks for having me.
I saw you on Instagram speaking of eating.
You was eating pig's blood ice cream.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Why?
I was in L.A.
There's a place called Salt and Straw. Oh, I went there when I was in L. There's a place called Salt and Straw.
Oh, I went there when I was in LA.
Amazing. As a matter of fact, you gave
them donkey of the day when I was there. They were
bringing that up to me. I don't remember.
What is piss blood ice cream?
You know, I didn't even taste the blood.
I wanted to taste like, you'd think it would be like
a nickely kind of taste.
It was just delicious.
I don't know. I'm also a big girl,
so maybe just anything
tastes good to me.
Ask a skinny girl
if she can taste the blood
because I just taste heaven.
Dominica, it's 2018.
People not even eating pork.
Why would you want to eat pig blood?
Who not eating pork?
I'm with you.
Who not eating pork?
Who not eating pork?
I'm not eating pork.
I'm eating pork.
Have you ever seen how a pig lives?
I was raised around pigs,
so you see how a pig lives?
Pigs eat anything,
including their own feces. I think a lot of animals have nasty eating habits. Not like a pig lives. See, when you, I was raised around pigs, so you see how a pig lives. Pigs eat anything, including their own feces.
But I think a lot of animals
have nasty eating habits.
Sure.
Not like a pig.
Sure.
And my apartment's nasty
and I still get a guy
f***ing me out,
so you know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
You also like,
now just like the rest of us
in this room,
all of us,
you like to get f***ing pigs.
Oh, I love them.
First of all, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, wait, that's even gonna throw that out there. No, no, there ain't no rest of us in this room, all of us, you like to get d*** pics. Oh, I love them. First of all,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no,
ain't no rest of us
in this room, all right?
You like to get
d*** pics.
She has her own
email for it.
You do.
I have an email.
It's pretty d*** swag
at Gmail,
and there's all
penises in there.
And what makes
a penis picture
unattractive?
Men just haphazardly,
I think, like,
when a woman says,
I want a d*** pic
from you,
he just goes,
okay, I'm gonna take a pic, poop, and just be taking it on the toilet. I've gotten so many haphazardly, I think, like, when a woman says I want a s*** pic from you, he just goes, okay, I'm gonna take a pic, poop, and just be
taking it on the toilet. I've gotten so many haphazard
walking through the park. Why are you
taking a s*** pic, you walking through the park? Or a dirty
bathroom in, like, a gas station. Yes!
Don't shame the person taking it in the gas
station, though, because he's doing that because he doesn't know how
bad you need this s*** pic right now.
So he's just taking it anywhere.
Nah, what's he doing in a gas station?
We don't want to see the dirty toilet underneath it.
We in New York, who getting gas like that?
Okay, you got a point.
That's a fact.
You know, I've been thinking like.
You might be in Jersey.
No, because that makes me wonder about why are you doing things that are not like supposed to be happening right now?
You know, you go to a gas station because you got a real wife at home and you don't want her to see you taking a dick pic.
So you want to go to the Exxon and throw me some trash and then go back
to your wife. I don't think so. That's true.
That's what happens. I mean, cool.
Girls is having sex with married guys nowadays.
No, we are not. I mean, maybe some women.
I'm not. But black men don't cheat.
Black men definitely don't cheat. So how are women having sex
with married men? Honey, that's a damn
lie. What are you talking about?
Honey, you know what I'm talking about. No, we don't.
Black men don't cheat. Black men cheat.
And I know it's hard out there for y'all
to not cheat and be faithful. And I'm not
going to throw y'all out there because, you know,
my career is very low on the ground, alright?
So I'm not going to. I know where
my bread is being buttered, okay?
By me and also by y'all.
But there are men
that are cheating out
there. Black men don't cheat no more.
That's old school.
That's whack.
That's played out.
We don't do that.
And you know what's crazy?
Women have never cheated.
Black women have never cheated.
Never.
Yeah, ever.
We so loyal.
That's right.
We sit there and watch y'all pick up these basic fat white women and go, that's all right,
Tyrone going to come right back.
And we've been waiting.
And I'm telling you, black women, get out there and start getting with these white men.
I had a white man **** me out two weeks ago.
Yes! Really?
He f***ed me out so good.
No, no, no, wait. Hold on a second. He f***ed me out so good
I was like, I don't even know if black lives
really matter anymore.
So, like, diversify your
portfolio. I still love black men, but I'm
not going to sit here and keep waiting for one to come
from damn heaven.
As a comic, because first of all, people don't even know I'm a comic. Did y'all intro me at all? I'm not going to sit here and keep waiting for one to come from damn heaven. But, you know, as a comic, because first of all,
people don't even know I'm a comic.
Did y'all intro me at all?
I'm sorry, Yamanika.
Let's go.
I'm trying to be the next Tiffany Allen.
I'll be forgetting when I know people.
I think everybody else knows.
They like, who the hell is this fat girl with this s**t?
Yamanika is a comedian.
Okay.
She's been on the Jim Gaffigan show, Comedy Central's The Nightmare Show.
Don't be the whole buyer.
True TV shows,
Comedy Knockout,
and Friends.
Yes.
She got her Netflix special
Degenerates out right now.
Yes, she does.
Netflix special
The Degenerates.
A former panelist
on The Merit of the Air.
So I'm just giving them
some backstory
before we get to the new stuff.
Yes.
And she's dope.
And Charlamagne,
like, Charlamagne's
such a good person.
I could tell you
you just read better.
No, I'm telling you this honestly. I just think you're just such a dope person, such a good person. I could tell you he's just bread buttered.
Honestly, I just think you're just such a dope person, such a nice person.
I appreciate that.
I don't know why you get so much flack.
Perception sometimes.
But, I mean, I can't even be mad at that because it depends.
You might have seen something from me that you didn't like or heard something from me that you didn't like.
And then you run with that, you know?
We live in a world where everything's out of context.
Yeah, sure.
People don't understand, like, certain things come up. And, you know, We live in a world where everything's out of context. Yeah, sure. People don't understand, like, certain things come up, and
you know, definitely with my comedy, because
it's definitely here and there,
and I think sometimes when people
see me, especially as, like, a big black woman,
they expect certain things. I'm very bold
and confident in what I do
in my comedy. I've been doing it for a
long time, and it is a long hustle,
and I'm very proud of myself.
I've, you know, had to push
myself into spots. I got booed on Showtime at the Apollo. Oh my God. Oh, they booed me so bad. Okay,
so I decided to do the amateur hour. So you got like literally three minutes you go up there.
I came out there looking like a nerd and my first joke was something about, you know,
everybody got roaches. I don't know.
I was just trying
to relate to them.
It was Harlem.
And, um,
but I grew up
in an upper middle class
family from Maryland,
so I don't really know
about roaches.
Like, to be honest,
so I'm just playing,
you know,
part of it was me
not being real with myself.
So I just said roaches.
They didn't feel
the authenticity from me.
And they just started booing.
They hate me.
That New York City boo
different.
Oh, it comes from the toes. City boo different. Especially in the Apollo.
It comes from the toes.
Not even the soles, like the toes.
And then I remember I was so
disoriented. I didn't know what to do. I was just like
my heart was breaking and I remember they
said don't walk this way because this way is for
winners. The losers gotta go that way.
And I walked this way. To the winners.
To the winners and do you
know they made me walk back over?
And I said, no.
I said, no, I don't have to.
This means stay here forever.
They were like, no, you got to go back.
So when I walked back over, they booed me as I walked back to the stage.
I said, what?
What's going on?
So I'm a good Christian girl from Maryland.
Why would you do this to me?
So now we're in a holding area down where all the people,
and now nobody wants to talk to you.
So one of the PAs is like, I can take you up through the side
so you don't have to sit down here and be uncomfortable.
As I start to walk up the theater,
people start noticing who I am walking through the theater,
and they start booing me again.
So much so that they had to restart the other act that was on
because it was like these long boze going up the damn stairs.
Oh, my God.
So now I'm devastated.
I'm devastated.
Now, I just want to get the hell up out of here.
I want to get out.
So now I put my coat on.
I'm going outside.
I remember it was snowing outside.
So I had a coat and I had a hood.
I put this hood on.
So now I'm sitting here.
I'm like, yes.
I'm like, my roommate that came.
Everybody.
I had never felt so low in my life. And I'm like, what the hell am I going to do? Like, my. I'm like, my roommate, they came. Everybody, I had never felt so low in my life.
And I'm like, what the hell am I going to do?
Like, my heart was broken.
So this PA was there, and he saw that I was devastated.
So he was like, where are you going?
And at the time, I lived on 72nd between 2nd and 3rd.
So he was like, I'll take the train down with you to your stop
and make sure that you're okay.
He left the Apollo and everything.
Well, we were done.
By that time, we were done. By that time,
we were done.
So everybody was kind of
clearing up.
He was just checking
to see what was...
So now we get on the train.
He's innocently talking to me
about like,
what do you think happened?
Because, you know,
you were funny all day.
You're such a sweet girl.
And there were three dudes
next to us
that were like,
oh, you talking about the Apollo?
We just left Apollo.
He's like, yeah, you know,
she was on the show.
And I don't think
he did that maliciously. I just think in conversation, he was just like, no, you know, she was on the show. And I don't think he did that maliciously.
I just think in conversation
he was just like,
come on.
The guy pulled my hat back
and said, oh, yo, that's shorty.
And all I remember,
the guy said, you know what?
Matter of fact, boo!
And he booed me
and his boys started booing me.
Other people was on the train.
They started booing me so hard that people were coming on the train like,
oh, we're going to another car.
Like, they booed me all the way.
It was still two people booing me on my way to 68th Street.
That can't be real.
That is real as I don't know damn what.
Y'all, you don't even know what you just did to yourself.
Everywhere you go after this interview.
It's going to be booed.
Boo!
Boo!
You better not do it to me. It's going to be booed. Boo! Boo!
You better not do it to me.
I'm going to start carrying the gas, okay?
Because I can't do it, Lord.
All right, we have more with comedian Yamanika Saunders
when we come back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have Yamanika Saunders in the building.
Now, to getting booed in the Apollo, did that discourage you?
I wanted to quit.
After that, I was like, I can't do this.
It's nothing like somebody feeling like people hate you.
That's a whole different thing.
And I think sometimes—
And that was before social media.
Now we get it every day.
And you get it every day.
And I think people don't understand when you're attacking an artist or you're hating on an artist,
this is somebody that really has put their life.
You know, I've dedicated my life to doing stand-up.
I started doing stand-up when I was 16 years old.
So this is my whole life.
So now when you say you don't like me and I'm not worthy, what the hell else am I going to do?
So I was really lost.
I was depressed and everything.
How did you bounce back?
Well, I'll never forget my grandmother.
She said, you know, you have to do what God told you to do.
You have to be yourself.
You have to show people who you are.
And really inside of me, there is this prim proper woman, but there's a n***a down inside me that want to get out.
And I let her out.
You understand?
Like, I let her be free and say all the things that are in my mind.
And I just want to connect with people.
Not everybody has to like me and that's
what I've learned, but the people that
do like me, I hope that I
get to a point where they can see me
and we can fellowship together. I don't think
a lot of people understand the depression
level of comics. Like, they just think
it's clowns that are going on stage,
making people laugh. A lot of those jokes
come from pain and hurt and isolation and being in your mind.
And some of the only times that we really get happy is when we're on stage telling our jokes.
That's why they call it Tears of a Clown.
I was talking to D.L. Hughley yesterday, and D.L. was saying how he started to go to therapy,
and the reason he stopped going was because it was working.
And he was like, I don't want to lose that pain.
You know what I'm saying?
That trauma.
Because that's what makes him feel like that's what makes him funny.
Yeah, that's true.
I mean, I'm in therapy because.
How long have you been in therapy?
We've been a year now together.
Yeah, that's dope.
I've been on my therapist for like a year.
I feel clean.
I feel clean.
I feel.
But I understand what D.O. is saying.
Like, you don't want to lose the.
Because we go and we talk about things that are like, you know, the problems that we're experiencing.
And we don't want to lose that because we've worked it all out in the process of therapy.
I think it helps us to explain things better.
I mean, I'm not a comedian, but it helps me to organize the chaos better.
You're very funny, though.
You could be a comedian.
Nah, that's too much pressure.
Why?
Because I don't want to get booed at the Apollo.
That's too...
Have you went back and done the Apollo syndrome?
I'll never go back there.
Never.
F*** that log.
But I will say this.
That's why I always respect artists who, like, I'll never try to diss somebody for their art and say that they're whack or terrible.
Because I know it takes a lot.
Well, I really appreciate that.
And, you know, sometimes I have people who come up to me and say, I think what you're doing is so hard
and it's so tough. And then I go, you know,
there's something in me that wants
to do that. That's something that God
has given me. And I just hope that everybody
finds what God has
given them. So how would you handle a booing now?
I mean, I would hope, let's
not promote this boo stuff. You know how
crazy people are. And they be like,
shut up, A-Tag. I'm a bad bitch. You know the best love.. And they be like, Sean, man, man,
come on, man,
man.
You know the best,
man.
Hey,
man,
bitch.
No,
no,
no,
no.
This ain't,
this is the camera.
It ain't no boo bitch time,
okay?
Try it if you want to.
I know the Lord
and I also know Thor,
okay?
You never told us
why that white man
was so good.
Oh,
child.
You,
and let me tell you something. Sean, look at this white guy's head, boy was so good. Oh, child. Let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Disclaimer, I still love black men.
But listen, you know, I didn't think he was going to be able to do anything
because, you know, like his, and no, I don't want to disrespect white guys,
but like hear that white guy swag, like, hi, everybody like, here, you know.
So now he's like, he's like, you know, he did say I want to taste you, though.
And I was like, OK, that's that's the thing you want to hear.
OK, OK.
So he starts to go down and everything like that.
And I'm like, you know, I'm like sitting there like, you know, uncomfortable.
You know, when you don't, you know, sometimes guys don't do it right.
So you're like, I'm not sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he's like, he's starting to go down.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yes. It's like my face changed. I was like, oh, my God, he's starting to go down. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Yes!
It's like my face changed.
I was like, oh my God, it's the most amazing thing.
You know what it was?
The dedication he studied.
White guys are very studious.
I think he got an encyclopedia.
You know, they like take notes, they go.
And then it's like he had it all in precision.
It was like an assembly line of just like, and it wasn't quick.
It was like, you know, long. I don't know if it was because he was enjoying it because I have a big
vagina, but it was
it just wasn't a few seconds. It was a long
time. Did you c***? A thousand
percent. Did he c*** your butt? Yes.
Wow. Yeah.
He did all the
bodega moves. All the bodega moves.
He just was wearing like polo at the
time. Did you kiss him after?
He wanted to kiss the whole time.
Did you get fed up with black men?
No, no. She had one good experience
with a white man, that's all.
I'm not fed up with black men.
It's not a big deal.
This is, you know,
the thing. We just, you know, had a thing
and it was
very refreshing, but I also, I think sometimes, I talk a lot about sex.
It took me a long time to have sex.
Are you really good at masturbating?
You know, I'm very into it with my body, and I love my body.
I think women at all ages, sizes, and stuff should appreciate being a woman
and the beauty that it takes to be a woman and your body.
And I'm very attuned to my body and my sexiness,
and I'm with guys who also appreciate my body and my sexiness and I'm with guys who also
appreciate my body and my sexiness
which allows me to be free. You think
women should be patient when it comes to like waiting for men
to grow up and get their lives together? Like you ever dated
a mixtape rapper or something?
I probably was a
mixtape rapper in a relationship. I mean
listen, you have to make an assessment as a woman
the value of the man, right? And how
long you think it's going to take him.
If you're with a guy and it looks like he doesn't have his stuff together
and it's not going to happen anytime soon, get rid of him.
Why would you waste your life and your time if it's meant to be he will come around
at the time that he needs to come around?
And I think a lot of women do wait.
That's the only reason why I wouldn't promote it because women don't.
I'll tell you this.
In 2017, I did no d*** 2017.
Really?
Because I did.
It was my hashtag.
And the reason why I did it is because I kept dealing with the same type of f*** boy.
And then I would get upset because I'm dealing with his life.
And how can he do that?
And then it was like, no, y'all, something is going on with you that you need to make an assessment. You need to clear men out for a second and figure out what's going on.
And start to learn yourself and love yourself.
And through that process of a year and actually it went on for up until Homeboy.
The white man.
Yeah, he broke it.
But I learned, like, I really learned myself and I realized that there was certain energy that I needed to attract because I was
attracting the wrong energy because I had the wrong energy inside me. And I think not just women,
but men can do that too. I think a lot of times people get into relationships because they're
empty, they're hurting, and it's tough to be alone. But you got to start to learn to love that alone
time and learn to love that time where you're getting to know yourself. Because you want a person to come into your life that is going to be a part of you.
But that you don't need to sustain yourself.
You have to be whole yourself and not think somebody else is going to complete who you are.
Absolutely.
Basically.
And we appreciate you for joining us.
Thanks for having me.
Just get ready for all the booze that's going to be in your Instagram page.
And I'm going to send them all to you, honey.
See, you thought he was nice, Yamanika.
He is nice, but you know what?
He's going to take them booze, too.
Okay?
I just think it's funny.
What I would really like to happen is for you to give s*** to the white man, and then
he boos you.
Just because.
Just to be funny.
Stop.
It's Yamanika Saunders.
Oh, give me your Twitter and stuff, Yamanika.
Oh, yes.
It's at Yamanika
Y-A-M-A-N-E-I-K-A
Thank you
And The Degenerates is on Netflix right now

Alright well let's open up the phone lines
800-585-1051
Now Yamanika says she gave up penis for over a year
She definitely says she gave up sex for a year
Alright so we're asking
Have you ever given up sex
And how long was it for
And why
Well you know everybody Well I'm not gonna say everybody But you got some people on social media They doing something called No S*** November Sex for a year. All right, so we're asking, have you ever given up sex, and how long was it for, and why?
Well, you know, everybody, well, I'm not going to say everybody, but you got some people on social media,
they're doing something called No S*** November.
So I guess that's the same thing.
Yeah, well, that didn't work out for me.
I already... I've given up sex before, though.
Me too.
I gave up sex back in, like, 2003, 2004, because I was doing youth ministry at Mohammed Moss number 38 in Columbia, South Carolina
so I wasn't having sex, I wasn't drinking
I wasn't smoking, I wasn't doing
nothing. Amy and my girl had broke up so what I
was trying to do was be the
man that I know she wanted
me to be. Right, how did that end up?
I did it for a while, I did it for like a year
and then like what made me break out
of it was, I didn't purposely
break out of it but I had a very weak moment
where I got drunk
and then me
I had a menage a trois
with two young ladies
oh
yes
was that the same time
that you were on your knees
masturbating
no it wasn't
I just specifically said
I had sex with two young ladies
that you talking about
you bring it back to me
with my penis in my hand
alright I'm just asking
come on get that out your head
just ask it
me myself was you know
after your wife has a baby,
you can't have sex for what?
Five weeks?
Six weeks?
Six weeks.
That's the only time I stop.
I haven't had sex.
But that's not,
you didn't make that decision
purposely on your own, sir.
Well, I didn't have sex.
That was the question.
Are you saying you could've cheated,
but you didn't?
No, I'm not playing with you.
800-585-1051.
Have you given up sex?
Call us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, Yamanika Saunders, comedian, just joined us.
And she was telling us that she gave up penis for a year.
Well, first of all, salute to Yamanika.
And we're going to have a petty party in Yamanika's mentions all day.
I just want y'all to go to Yamanika's Instagram page
and put boo all day long.
But, yeah, I've given up sex before.
I gave up sex when I was doing youth ministry
at Mohammed Moss No. 38 in Columbia, South Carolina,
back in, like, 03, 04.
I don't remember the exact year.
And, like, me and my now wife had broken up.
So I was trying to be the man that I know she wanted me to be,
so I wasn't sleeping with no other women.
Okay.
I wasn't drinking.
I wasn't smoking.
What about masturbation?
For like a whole year.
On your knees?
I don't remember.
I probably did masturbate, but I don't remember.
Only time I did was when my wife had,
every time my wife has a kid,
you're not allowed to have sex for five to six weeks.
That's when you masturbated on your knees.
I did not masturbate on my knees, man.
That's the only time I gave up sex.
Now, let's, line three, I don't know this person's name.
What's your name?
Alita.
You gave up sex for seven years?
I did, I did.
What's wrong with your vag?
Oh, absolutely nothing.
This is fraud.
The reason I gave up sex was my ex of almost 20 years was cheating on me. Had a whole
different situation going on.
A whole other family. Yeah, over in
Jamaica. And I
had to protect myself. I left.
And I just never trust anybody else again.
Every time somebody even attempted
to talk to me, I just see this bubble over their head
saying, lie, lie.
So you was traumatized, basically.
You know what? I guess I am a little traumatized.
Have you had sex yet?
Yeah, what got you out of your D-drought?
You know what?
People spend a lot of money on toys.
All you need, all you women out there that did stop having sex,
get you a good shower head, and you're going to be all right.
So wait a minute, you're still not having sex?
You're still not having sex.
I'm not having sex.
I'm good.
I can take care of me.
My God. Who is this man? You're better than not having sex. I'm good. I can take care of me. My God.
Who is this man?
You're better than you please yourself.
There you go.
Who is this man that we need to go have arrested for traumatizing you this bad,
scared you away from all penises?
His name is...
Oh, I would.
I would.
He would kill me.
All right.
Thank you, Mama.
Have a good day, baby.
Don't let him scare you away from all penises, though.
Sheesh.
Seven years.
Hello, Tony.
Yo, what's up, man? You gave up sex, bro? Yeah, just for a little bit, man. Don't let them scare you away from all penises. Jeez, seven years. Hello, Tony. Yo, what's up, man?
You gave up sex, bro?
Yeah, just for a little bit, man. Just for a little bit.
How long? It's been about two months, but, you know, I'm working on three
right now. Why? What STD did you
catch that you had to fall back for a second?
Just to empower myself,
man, and, you know, focus on
getting money in my business, my
brand, you know what i'm saying when
i be when i be having sex bro i feel like it's a distraction i feel like i get comfortable you
right though like i just feel comfortable you know what i'm saying now you're right so how
long you giving it up for let's say man look and when my uh look when my money get right
and my business get right man then i'm gonna be knocking something down in h town but until then
uh you know it's on hold.
It's on hold. I respect that.
Take all that extra energy to the gym. You probably
can bench press 300 pounds right now. More than that, man.
What is wrong, boy?
I'm thinking 350, man.
Hey! Alright.
I feel bad for the girl. That comes after
that one, boy.
You sound like you want some of that. Nah, I'm saying
some of that for me next time I'm in Houston.
I didn't say that.
See, you just making stuff up.
What's the moral of the story?
The moral of the story is
I don't have no problem
with people taking me time.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I don't know who said
sex is the end-all, be-all.
Sometimes you gotta
take a step back
and focus on your spiritual
and your mental
and that helps you
be emotionally stronger.
You know what I'm saying?
Sometimes you gotta get
on your knees
and just handle yourself.
Listen, y'all not going to shame me
about f***ing off on my knees.
I didn't say nothing.
All right, well, when we come back,
we got your rumors.
We got to talk about this Hawaiian bass singer
that's giving away 24K in meals.
Man, shut up.
That sounded horrible.
My God.
All right, rumors when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Let's start off with some great news.
Shout to Bruno Mars.
Now, he's about to end his 24K Magic World Tour.
He's going to end it with providing 24,000 meals to residents in Hawaii.
Okay.
Just in time for Thanksgiving.
Of course, he's from Hawaii, and that's what he's doing to give back.
So shout to him, man.
That's pretty dope.
Drop one of the Clues bombs for Bruno Mars.
This is that time of year where everybody starts doing their turkey drives
and turkey giveaways.
I got mine this Saturday in Moncks Corner, South Carolina,
at Berkeley High School.
Yeah, we actually did a rally over the weekend. Kind of, we
did it a little different. We did a rally, got
a bunch of friends with dope
cars and we all put in money
and raised a ton of money to
give to the homeless in New York City.
So we're going to be doing that. So shout out to everybody that
was involved in that rally. PC and Y, we had a
great time. I'm glad you're giving money too. I saw somebody
I saw a video going viral this
weekend. This dude was like, we don't want y'all turkeys this year.
Some dude with gold teeth. He was like, come through like
Drake with the bag and pass
out some money. I'm going to tell you something, man.
Them old people in my town, they
love getting them free turkeys. They love
that they can save a few dollars by not
having to pay for no birds this week.
So I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Absolutely.
And congratulations to Amanda Seals.
Drop one of the clues bombs for the family.
Okay, Amanda Seals, damn it.
Now she's going to be making her own special debut,
her comedy special debut on HBO this year.
Yes, it's called.
Or next year, I should say.
Next year.
It'll be out in January.
It's called I Be Knowing.
Drop one of the clues bombs for Amanda Seals.
I'm so happy for her.
All right, now we have audio of her,
I guess, spilling the news.
To Ivy, no way!
Coming to HBO 2019!
Amanda Sears is self-made.
She did it her way,
and now HBO is doing the right thing.
I don't know when the last time I was actually excited
for an HBO comedy special.
Like, Netflix been killing their ass, but HBO went and got someone fresh,
someone that is of the culture now, and I salute them for that.
Absolutely.
Drop on the clues bombs for Amanda Seals.
Congratulations to Amanda.
Now, also, Future and Wendy Williams got into it last week.
Now, Wendy Williams was talking about Future and all the babies that he has,
and this is what she said.
Once upon a time, there was a man named Future,
and Future has a lot of babies' mothers.
Case in point,
Future allegedly, first of all,
is expecting his fifth child with number five.
Look, he's got a 16-year-old with Jessica,
and then India has a nine-year-old with him.
Britney's got his five-year-old with Jessica, and then India has a 9-year-old with him.
Britney's got his 5-year-old son, and of course, Future Jr. is with Ciara,
but Ciara fled the scene, and Future Jr. now has a new father.
Well, Future responded. He posted a picture of himself, and he said,
Thank God I'm richer than Wendy Williams.
Well, let me tell you something. When I saw that caption, I was like, no, you're not.
And Future got money, but that daytime talk show money is a
different kind of bread, bro. Well, then Shaderoom
posted, I guess, Wendy Williams' net worth
and Future's net worth, and it says Wendy Williams'
net worth is $60 million
and Future's net worth is $30 million.
Yeah, she got a daytime talk
show, okay? That daytime money
is different. When you got Dr. Phil,
Wendy Williams, Dr. Oz,
Ellen,
Oprah money. Oprah don't do daytime no more,
but you know what I'm saying. Come on, man. That's a different type of bread,
bro. He also responded and said, that's cap
plus she's 60 years older than me.
How old is Future?
I don't know. Wendy ain't in our
hundreds? No, Future about, what,
30? Yeah, Wendy in her 50s.
All I'm saying is that daytime talk show money different, all right?
Just because they're not riding around in big-ass Bugattis with jewelry,
all the jewelry in the world on.
Oh, yes, they are.
Oh, yeah, they do.
Yes, they are.
Wendy got a bunch of cars and a whole lot of jewelry.
That's true.
But I'm just talking about in general,
throughout the whole landscape of daytime television.
Okay.
Don't think just because you got a watch worth a million dollars
that you got more money than Dr. Phil.
Knock it off. You don't got more
than Wendy. You don't got more than Dr. Oz. That daytime
money's different, bro. Alright, well that
is your rumor report. Now, Charlemagne,
who you giving that donkey to? Listen, man,
I want to talk about white people in Mississippi
eating black people. That's historically
what I always thought. You said what? For years
I always thought that white people in Mississippi
actually ate black people.
And this story for After the Hour
kind of reconfirms my suspicions.
Oh, boy.
All right, we'll get into that next
Keep It Locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Your mornings will never be the same.
Continue the adventure
with Newt Scamander
as he teams up with Albus Dumbledore.
He's stopping the dark wizard
Grindelwald's plans to divide the wizarding world. Fantastic. He's stopping the dark wizard Grindelwald's plans
to divide the wizarding world.
Fantastic Beasts, The Crimes of Grindelwald.
In theaters November 16th, rated PG-13.
Charlemagne, say the gang, don't get out of shape.
You are a donkey.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day does not discriminate.
I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate.
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 me with the heat.
It's the Breakfast Club, bitches.
Who's Donkey of the Day today?
Well, Ed Sheeran, Donkey of the Day for Monday, November 12th goes to Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith.
Now, if you don't know who that is, let me put you on game. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith is the first woman to represent Mississippi
in Congress after she was appointed
in April to replace
Thad Cochran, a Republican
senator who was forced to step down because
of health problems. Now, on November
27th, she will be in a runoff
with Democrat Mike Epstein,
a black man, not to be confused
with comedian Mike Epstein. This runoff will determine
who will serve the remaining two years of Cochran's term
because neither candidate was able to win more than 50% of the vote on November 6th.
Now, Senator Hyde-Smith received our celebrity-in-chief Donald Trump's endorsement.
He's been very vocal in his support for her.
In August, he tweeted that she is strong on issues such as job creation
and his proposed sovereign border wall.
He added, Cindy has voted for our agenda in the Senate 100% of the time
and has my complete and total endorsement.
She's always had my back, and a vote for Cindy is a vote for me.
We need her to win Mississippi.
Drop on the clues bombs for Mississippi.
I will admit, if it wasn't for David Bannon and Big Crit,
I wouldn't rock with Mississippi at all.
Why? Because I saw that American horror story called Mississippi Burning when I was a child.
You don't remember that movie? Remember that movie?
No.
Where the two FBI agents were in Mississippi investigating the disappearance of three civil rights workers in the whole town.
The local police and the KKK was like, y'all get the hell from around here now.
All right, that movie was based off a true story.
And I had it in my mind back then that white people literally ate black people in Mississippi.
In my mind, I thought that if you were black and you went to Mississippi,
not only was you good as dead, but you would end up the primary meat on a sandwich.
I truly believed that in Mississippi, BLT stood for bacon, lettuce, and Tyrone.
So when I heard these comments that Senator Smith made, I wasn't surprised. It just reinforced
everything I thought about Mississippi
to begin with. Now this audio was a little
hard to hear because the train was
coming. God was trying to drown out these
evil words. But I'll play it for you
and then translate what Senator Smith said.
Let's hear it.
Hold on, this train going by.
Okay, it was hard to make out because of the train.
Let me hear it again just the way it was.
Let me hear that one.
Let me hear it again.
Hold on, this train going by.
Okay, one more time for the people in the back.
Let's isolate it just a little.
Let's see.
What did they say? say play one more time
if you still don't know what senator hyde smith said she said if he invited me to a public hanging
i'd be on the front row she said that for real play it again if he invited me to a public hanging
i'd be on the front row damn uh i repeat it's 2018 and senator hyde smith said if he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row. Damn. I repeat, it's 2018.
And Senator Hyde-Smith said, if he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row.
Now, I am a Marvel Comics fanatic.
So when a Marvel movie comes out, it's an event, right?
A perfect example.
Remember just past February when Black Panther dropped?
You know what I mean?
Remember when Black Panther dropped early this year?
And everyone was in costume going to see it.
Remember how much of an event that was?
That's how public lynchings used to be, right?
Entertainment and a way to terrorize and control black people.
But Mississippi has an extreme history of lynchings.
See, right before they barbecued black people in Mississippi,
right before they put you on the grill, they would lynch you, okay?
I don't know why, because it's a known fact that meat that died scared tastes terrible.
But they would lynch us.
And when a state has the history of racism and hangings that Mississippi has,
you can't just write that off as just a figure of speech, right?
The NAACP showed that nearly one-eighth of the 4,743 lynchings between 1882 and 1968
that occurred in the United States were in Mississippi, I believe, okay?
All I know is they like the taste of black people in Mississippi that's all I'm trying to say a lot of people
get hung in Mississippi and now Senator Smith released a statement that said that her remark
was an exaggerated expression of regard and any attempt to turn this into a negative connotation
is ridiculous she said that her remark was an exaggerated expression of regard.
And any attempt to turn this into a negative connotation is ridiculous.
So it's ridiculous for people to be upset that a senator in Mississippi in 2018 says she wants to attend a public lynching.
That's crazy.
Well, as if I needed another reason other than Mississippi burning,
then never ever visit Mississippi.
Please let Kathy Griffin handle my white work.
Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest, hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
All right.
All right, well, thank you for that donkey today.
It's 2018, though. I just want y'all to remember that.
It is.
Okay.
Now, when we come back, we're going to kick it with
ex-NBA player Sebastian Telfair.
Now, he is from New York.
He is cousin to Stephon Marbury.
Got busy. Went straight from high school
to the league. He went to like seven, eight
different teams and just never popped off.
Well, when we come back, we're going to talk to him, see what
happened. He was
arrested and found a couple of guns in his
car recently. So we're going to talk to him when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela
Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are
The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
in the building. Yes, sir.
A New York legend, Sebastian Telfair.
What's up, sir? Yo, what's good?
Wait, let's be clear. A Brooklyn legend. Yes, he's a New York legend. Sebastian Telfair. What's up, sir? Yo, what's good? Wait, let's be clear. Let's be clear.
A Brooklyn legend.
Yes.
He's a New York legend.
You gotta say Brooklyn.
Let's break down some of the backstory.
Sebastian Telfair is from Brooklyn.
One of the nicest ballplayers we've seen point guard come out of Brooklyn.
He's cousins to Stephon Marbury.
He went straight from high school into the NBA.
Straight from high school to the league.
His games used to attract everybody from Derek Jeter to Jay-Z to college recruits to...
Steve Stout.
Steve Stout to NBA recruits, and he decided to go straight to the league.
When he got to the league, it didn't pop off like many expected him to do.
LeBron said you were next up, even, and you were cool with Jay-Z.
A lot of things didn't turn out how you thought, so you don't do a lot of interviews.
No, I didn't have much to talk about before.
Yes, you did.
You got a lot to talk about.
Just the time in the middle of your career.
It wasn't the time, to tell you the truth.
The way my life started going, it's like a movie.
Let's start from the beginning.
You're from Brooklyn, from the Coney Island Project.
Yes, sir.
The hood hood.
The hood hood.
Shout out to Coney Island.
Shout out to Coney Island. Single mom, barely had The hood hood. The hood hood. Shout out to Coney Island. Shout out to Coney Island.
Single mom, barely had enough money to buy sneakers.
Facts.
And you seen your older cousin make it to the league.
Yes.
And that got you into playing basketball.
How many brothers do you have?
Five brothers.
Five brothers.
So it's ten of us.
Now tell us how it was growing up in Coney Island and seeing your brother, I mean your
cousin being so successful and how you got into basketball and running so hard.
Well, Coney Island is all about basketball.
His, Stephon, who y'all talking about my cousin, Stephon Marbury, his brothers, you know, they started,
they the foundation of the basketball in Coney Island.
So, you know, Coney Island, like every other neighborhood in New York,
where it's kind of live and crazy and much going on.
And my cousin Stephon, craziest thing about him, seeing him succeed the way he did,
it gave us our outlet to start playing ball.
He was the first one where you see him pull up with everything.
He got a car.
He got a life.
Yes, and he was extra.
He was extra.
He's had 10 cars, 10 chains, 10 this.
Like, he was extra, extra with it.
Fact.
But that was a good example for us.
Not the flashiness of it, but the fact that we see somebody that looked like us that's successful.
Made it out.
And then it came through balls, so we was all on the block like, let's hoop.
There was even a legendary game in the neighborhood where you actually were in high school
and you played Stephon Marbury while he was in the NBA.
101.
And you beat him.
How do you know about that?
We do our homework, man.
We know.
They got so many YouTube documentaries about you.
They have a real documentary through the fire about you.
But, I mean, in Brooklyn, I think everybody knew who Sebastian Telfair was.
Yeah, shout out Steph.
Shout out Steph.
Me and Steph, he's the big homie, you know, and he's my role model.
He's the reason why I'm staying right here right now.
Oh, so y'all still got a relationship?
Oh, absolutely.
That's family.
So, no matter what's going on, you know, he's going to be a part of what's going on in my life.
You said you was going to be better than him, too.
I'm going to be better than Steph.
You're supposed to feel that way, though.
Facts.
Now, what happened when you got into the league?
Because it never took off like it was supposed to.
A lot happened.
A lot happened, but to tell you the truth,
my dream and my goal was to get out of my projects.
I wanted the shirt to match the sneakers,
and I wanted to get my moms out of the projects and all that stuff.
So when I got to the NBA, it was just a lot of factors that just hit me at the same time
where I wasn't the same person I was in high school going into the NBA.
Was it the pressure? Because they expected you to be the next.
No, no pressure.
Bro, like super-duper all-star.
No, no, no, zero pressure.
It was all about being strategic and the moves that we needed to make,
and we didn't do that.
And my whole community backed me.
So when I got to the NBA, it was like I was at everyone, you know,
whatever y'all wanted out of me, my attention, my money, whatever,
I was giving it.
Did anybody try to discourage you from going straight from high school
into the NBA?
No.
Well, you were supposed to go to college.
You were supposed to play for Rick Pitino in Louisville, right?
Yeah.
He definitely tried to discourage you.
I don't know.
That seems to be a good thing.
A lot of people saying going to college is a good thing,
but it's not for everybody, and I'm definitely happy
I made the decision to go pro.
You don't regret not going to college at all?
Absolutely not.
Wasn't it like one, didn't something happen in your projects
that made you decide to
really do it? Somebody got killed or something like that?
You know, Coney Island, that was going on
in my life a lot. You know, some of my friends
was getting killed in the streets and things like that, but
that played a small part.
The goal I set to
get out of my projects, take care of my mom, be able to
take care of myself, I set that goal when
I was 8, nine years old.
So my whole environment, you know, made me who I am to, you know,
want to go to the NBA and change my environment.
So I feel like you got those first checks.
You got your first NBA checks.
You got that Adidas check.
And then you tried to save the whole projects.
My cousin, Zachy, shout out to Zachy Stephan, little bro.
He said I got my money.
He was like, f*** everything.
That's how he looked at it You know what I'm saying
Outside looking in
But
I really don't know
It was just a lot of things
Happening around me
Really nothing to do
With basketball
Things happening around me
The energy of
You know
Friends and family
You know
Being a breadwinner
Everyone expecting you
To take care of them
And me being
You know
You know, Envy
or Icy and all that, you step in, they see that,
they're like, I want a chain, too,
and I want the same chain you got. So, you know,
that, I battled a little bit with that, but
time was going to take care of that, you know.
And also, they didn't have the things in place like
what they have now, right, where they kind of
educate you about. Yeah, but you had people,
you had people that came before you, you had
Steph, you had, you knew LeBron was a guy of yours, people. You had people that came before you. You had Steph. You had LeBron was a guy of yours.
You had people that came before you.
I had Stephon and Jay in my life at the time.
Jay-Z?
Right there going in from high school to the NBA.
And some of the things that we were speaking about
that played a part in my career
that really don't have nothing to do with basketball,
it was things like these two guys
and the relationship they had between each other
when they supposed to have been there helping me.
And, you know.
They didn't get along with each other.
Yeah.
JT and Steph, my brother?
Yeah.
I can see that.
No, JT, I think JT, Steph's name and a couple of raps.
And then Steph was mad about that.
And Steph responded, don't put my name in your mouth.
You don't remember those?
So JT stopped messing with you because him and Steph fell out?
Not necessarily, but it was just a lot of that type of energy.
It would have helped me a lot better if they was close friends.
Me and Jay was stuck like this.
Me and Steph's family was stuck like this.
It would have just took me to places where you wouldn't be able to ask me a question like that
if, you know, who was saying this and that about, you know, the moves they make when I got to the NBA.
It was just unfortunate for me.
Now, you got in the league, and, you know,
at first it was tough for you when you got to Portland.
You didn't start right away.
You had to prove yourself, and then you finally proved yourself,
and they gave you the starting position.
What happened from there?
The timing and everything, I really feel like they should have
handed me the ball once I soon got there and see what happens.
I started the last half of my first season.
Last 23 games, I think it was, or 20 games.
And you look at them numbers right there
You could take them numbers for a whole season
I'd be in the rookie of the year talk
So just how it planned out at the time
And then you left Portland
I cried
You cried?
Yeah
I'm from Brooklyn, I'm from Coney Island
So my family, like today, they stuck in Coney Island.
They stuck in Brooklyn.
So it was like I got drafted to the furthest team possible.
Okay.
No one can draft me further than Portland.
And your mom couldn't come, right?
Your dad wasn't.
They could come, but they wasn't really into that.
They was like, you know.
Yeah, they wasn't into it.
Not if I was up the block.
How did the other teammates treat you?
Because you were so young.
Having the attention I had coming in,
you know,
deed a contract,
the movie,
book and all that type of stuff,
and being from New York.
And I don't think I got guys
to team up with me,
to help me,
to feel like, you know,
let's go on the court
and play hard for this guy.
A lot of guys couldn't get past
like my parents when I got there.
It was like,
man, who does God think he is?
And then you went to Boston. Yes.
And how was everything in Boston?
Shout out Boston. Boston was terrible for me for my career.
Shout out Boston. Boston was terrible.
New Yorkers don't like Boston
for a number of reasons. I don't know.
Patriots, man.
But what happened in Boston? As far as playing
in Boston and everything, on the court my first
two, three years, I had no problem.
I was doing perfectly fine.
And I got to Boston, there was a bunch of young guys with that same energy
the old guys had in Portland.
It was like, I'm going to be cooler with this guy because he drops the Escalade.
The guy that got the Bentley is like, I ain't setting a hard screen for him.
I couldn't get them to really come with me.
Yeah, what you're right.
Yes.
All right, we have more with former NBA player Sebastian Telfair.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have former NBA player Sebastian Telfair in the building.
Yee.
Now, let's go back to this Adidas deal because you did have that deal, right?
Yes.
And then what happened? Because nobody's really spoken. Was there a morality clause? Like, why was it this Adidas deal, because you did have that deal, right? And then what happened?
Because nobody's really spoken.
Was there a morality clause?
Like, why was it that that Adidas deal went away?
Oh, too much action.
Too much going on.
So you got caught with guns?
Uh, yeah.
That's also said allegedly.
You don't have to go to court in December.
That's up to you.
I don't know what you're playing at.
No, this is before that.
This is the first one.
This is the first one. This is the first one.
Oh, okay, okay.
Right.
And so was there a morality clause in the contract that they were able to say, okay,
we're not doing this anymore?
I don't know what was in the contract, but I know that I lost $20 million in one night
and I didn't fight for it.
Wow.
And that was the night where they said that you had a bag and you put a loaded weapon
on the team plane.
No.
Only reason you know about that because a teammate of mine must have said something.
That incident came out five months after, and we was on a private plane
coming from Portland, going to Boston, and I had my luggage.
I didn't get in trouble for that, though.
That was an honest mistake.
I had everything that they knew.
That was an honest mistake.
So that's not how the Adidas contract.
Did your teammate toll on you?
Yeah.
I might have tolled on you too, though.
You probably was.
It was too much sauce.
I was in there smiling, having a good time.
The flying spur outside.
The movie coming.
It was too much sauce.
They were like, man, let's get this guy.
I don't like that.
I don't like that at all.
Why did you carry the gun around with you all the time?
Were you scared? Was it fearful? Was it PTSD with you all the time? Like, were you scared?
Was it fearful?
Was it PTSD from being in the hood?
No, not really.
Did you always feel like your life was in danger?
Yeah.
I mean, I could kind of say that safely, like I'm a black man,
like, you know, looking as good as I look.
Like, yeah, I'm in danger.
But even in the NBA, when you're jumping off private planes
with the team and everything, like...
I guess those are just bad decisions. I ain't need none of that. But even in the NBA, when you're jumping off private planes with the team and everything?
I guess those are just bad decisions.
I ain't need none of that.
I'm supposed to just be focusing on ball and figure out how I get $300 million.
So what happened was you got pulled over.
You were driving on a suspended license speeding, and that's when they found the gun in the car?
Yes.
That's the recent one or that's the old one?
That was the one with the Adidas deal.
Okay.
Right.
So that's why Adidas was like, okay, and you didn't fight for that.
Why didn't you fight for that?
That's not, well, that's not exactly what happened with the deal.
What happened was Justin's. Oh.
That's what happened with the Adidas deal.
When Fab got shot.
And that was that.
Right.
Well, your chain, somebody snatched your chain.
And the story was on, you know, the news posted that your chain was snatched and it was one
of Fab's peoples and And they ran into Justin.
And then all of a sudden somebody came back letting off.
And that's when Fab got shot.
Now, are you a Fab cool or you never spoke to him?
Shout out Fab.
We didn't get a chance to really speak much.
And that's not exactly how the story, you know, went down.
But that's still a statute of limitations.
No, not really.
That's 10 years ago.
I'm really off that energy.
That's the type of energy, you know what I'm saying,
while my career went the way it went.
You know what I'm saying? Like, what I'm even doing at Justin's when
we just paid $1.5 million to open
Philippe Childs. Right.
What I'm doing at Justin's.
One of the original owners of Philippe's. Yes.
What I'm doing at Justin's.
How was you at Justin's? The food over there was better?
Because everybody used to go to Justin's.
Everybody used to hang out at Justin's at that time.
You know, we want to support black, support black.
Diddy got the shot.
It's all right, though.
I was in for one night for the plate of Knicks.
I was just going to show some wrong place, wrong time,
to tell you the truth.
At what point do you cut the hood off, Sebastian,
and say, you know what?
Never.
Never?
Never, because the hood need me.
What about the hood mentality then?
The hood mentality, you've got to cut that off immediately,
when as soon as possible.
Even if you're in the hood and you get an opportunity to get that out of you,
you've got to get it out of you because all environments don't require you
to act like that or have them type of things prepared for reactions.
Now, how did you get to China?
You played ball in China.
What made you go to China, and how was that experience?
Shout out my cousin Steph again.
I was really, you know, same thing, following some of his lead.
And China was a great, great experience for me.
It was a time where I got to go refresh myself, get my mind together,
get God back in my life the way he needs to be in your life.
And also for the basketball part of it.
You know, China, I'm not sitting here today like, man,
I wish I was in the NBA just because I went to China.
Really?
I got to go get my, you know what I'm saying?
You got it out of your system.
Get it out of my system.
Who want it?
Come take the 70 ball real quick.
You know what I'm saying?
It's proof to everything, to myself as far as if I just focus on ball,
I'm good, which I didn't get an opportunity to do in the NBA.
Like I say, the NBA never got me.
You know what I'm saying?
I think China got a bit of me, but I was just there just to play ball and focus on myself.
How many seasons did you play?
Two and a half.
Why'd you leave China?
Why'd you leave?
I was done with it.
Why didn't it blow up for you in China?
Like, how did...
It did.
He left.
He was done.
No, the truth was, like I said about my career, it's career, it has nothing to do with me being a good basketball player or not.
It has nothing to do with my height, anything like that.
It's just the side factors that just adds up to my career being as bad as it was.
After my first year in China, I went over there.
I took a team to the playoffs.
I'd never been to the playoffs.
They was loving me there.
I got back to the States. Everyone giving me love, and I'm going to sign a team to the playoffs. I'd never been to the playoffs. Like, they was loving me there. I got back to the States.
Everyone giving me love.
And I'm going to sign a deal to go back to China, right?
So they offered me, like, $10 million, something like that, for two, three years.
My luck's so bad.
What happens at the same time?
OKC calls me.
So, like, that one thing I've been looking for the whole time in the NBA calls me when the money is sitting there for me.
And I'm like,
a team that's a playoff team,
no matter what.
I don't care who's off that team.
That team going to the playoffs.
Who's on there then?
Russell?
Russ and KD.
You don't got to mention nothing else. Yeah.
So I called China
and I'm saying,
thank y'all.
I'm so sorry though.
I'm going to come back to the NBA.
What they told me I was going to do.
So I called China
and I was like,
man, I can't do it.
My agent talking to him like, you know, I'm gonna go
play with OKC. They called me
back. It was like $17 million. Wow.
And you didn't go back? $17
million. And I was like,
man, KD and Russ,
that's over. How much were they offering you?
Like a million dollars? About $2 million.
What would y'all do?
I went with the China.
It was a bad decision and it had to do with just how the ball seems to roll out for do? I went with the China It was a bad decision
And it had to do with
Just how the ball
Seems to roll out for me
Because I signed with OKC
I don't even remember that
Man, me either
I signed with OKC
I go get in shape
I'm talking about
Tip top six pack
Dunking
Like I'm so excited
To be on this team
And before the season start
KD get injured His foot Five games into Like, I'm so excited to be on this team. And before the season starts, KD get injured his foot.
Five games into the season, I'm like, all right, cool.
I still got Westbrook.
I still got one of the top five players in the NBA.
He up fakes, come down, breaks his hand.
So the first conversation I had with OKC is,
the only problem we have with you, Phoenix Sun said,
if you don't play, you're going to be a problem for us.
And I said, Westbrook going to be playing. I'm going to be sitting here chilling. When y' don't play, you're going to be a problem for us. And I said,
Resbrook going to be playing. I'm going to be sitting here chilling.
When y'all need me, I'm going to be there. I went from that
to starting. I would think you
would like that, but I understand the pressure.
Now he's not on the playoff team. He's playing by himself.
And also, now I got two of the top
basketball players in the world
on my team, and now I got the guys that play
with them. And no disrespect to them, but when you're playing
with guys that's that good, they need to to play with role players because they just give you
the ball they give you the ball so now I'm out there with the ball the whole time like y'all
were just telling me don't even expect the ball so I end up getting cut for the first time in my
career with that situation and that was like that was the end of my career to tell you the truth
do you think your life played out the way it was supposed to?
My life's still going on.
I don't know.
What's the plan now?
Is it to really be an artist and do music?
And that's your first priority?
Yes.
My first priority right now is doing music.
That's my passion.
That's my love.
The album's coming out.
Hopefully, this thing's given right here.
Oh, wow.
It's called Take Two.
Yes, sir.
Take Two.
Take Two.
Makes sense. All right. Well, it's Sebastian Telfair. It's called Take Two. Yes, sir. Take Two. Makes sense.

With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Now, tonight, Charlamagne will be doing a live session with Dr. Jess.
Now, what is this session about, Charlamagne?
It's a live therapy session.
You know, I go to therapy every week.
I used to go every Friday at 3,
but now I go when I can.
And I just feel like
I want to show people what therapy
looks like.
It's something that I was going to do on, like,
social media anyway. I was just going to, like, turn the
IG Live on or the Facebook Live.
I'm going to ask my therapist if, you know, that was
okay. But then I was like, you know, I don't want to share my therapist.
And then Dr. Jessica Clemons is so dope, and she's a therapist.
And, you know, my man Chris McCarthy at VH1 dropped one of Clues Bombs for him.
He was like, yo, let's do it here.
So we're doing it tonight at 10 p.m. on VH1.
It's a live therapy session.
That's literally all it is.
So it's going in depth about everything that's going on in your life.
I mean, whatever Dr. Jess wants to discuss or whatever I feel like
discussing tonight. You know how when you walk into your
therapist's office and your therapist is like, where do you
want to start? What do you want to talk about today?
Whatever. I'm open.
And a lot of times I tell my therapist, I say, yo,
whatever you want to do. So that's what I'm
doing with Jess tonight. And listen, it's not pre-taped.
Okay. It's not scripted.
It's not rehearsed. It is live, live is live live 10 p.m tonight we will be live on vh1 all right i got i got some questions for you
so i'm just getting some curious i just want to know how it's gonna go down so uh drama can you
play some soft music first of all have you ever been to therapy yes okay so you know how therapy
is yes so when is the last time you cried last time i I cried? Man.
I think I was watching my, I cry a lot during movies. I was watching
My Girl and
whenever Thomas gets stung by the bees
and then, you know, they show the funeral scene and she's
yelling, his glasses, his glasses,
he can't see without his glasses, gets me every time.
So I don't know, maybe that was like a month or two ago.
Now the time you masturbated and cried
after masturbation, why did you cry?
Was it that you were holding small s***?
Or like, what was the reason of your crying that time?
I was heartbroken.
I was heartbroken because me and the woman I was dating had broke up at the time.
And I thought that I was doing something wrong by masturbating.
Now, you have a little foreskin on your penis.
How did that affect your sex life?
I don't have any foreskin on my penis anymore.
It's a skin bridge.
And it got cut off when I was like 16, 17
years old. Alright, furthermore, this is sorry.
This is not therapy. This is not how therapy works.
I'm just asking. I just want to know what type of questions
she's going to be asking tonight. Dr. Jess will not be asking me any
questions like that. I can guarantee that.
Dr. Jess is a professional. Oh. Okay.

Now, also, shout-out to Tyler, the creator.
He had a festival over the weekend.
And Jaden Smith performed, and during his performance, he said this.
I just want to say Tyler, the creator, is the best friend in the world,
and I love him so f***ing much.
And I want to tell you guys something Tyler doesn't
want to say, but Tyler's
my motherf***ing boyfriend
and he's been my motherf***ing
boyfriend my whole f***ing life.
Black love is beautiful, man.
You know what I'm saying? I don't have no problem with that.
The only thing I don't like is that I really love
Jaden Smith. I respect Jaden Smith.
I think he's the Gandhi of our time and I
hate to see him professing his love for somebody publicly and not getting that
love back.
So what I would like to see Tyler the Creator do, I would like to see Tyler make Jaden Smith
his man crush Monday to day.
Okay.
You know what I'm saying?
Because Tyler needs to understand that that's Will and Jada's son.
Okay.
And he's a catch.
He's a catch.
And Tyler can't really do no better, I don't think.
But Tyler might be a catch too.
No.
No.
Why not? Jaden Smith, bro. That's royalty. All right might be a catch, too. No. No. Why not?
That's Jason Smith, bro.
That's royalty.
All right?
Well, congratulations to the happy couple.
Yes.
Congratulations to them, man.
All right.
Well, that is your rumor report.
All right.
