It's all we said we had a big black announcement. Lunell got excited. What's the big black announcement? Hit a drum roll one time. Big black announcement, y'all. Now you know the Breakfast Club has been on this radio for 13 years. You should stick to the script. You want to do that?

Where's the script? I didn't get a script. Just say your name. I know my name. DJ Envy. It's your intro. Oh, my intro. Yes.

All right. What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy. And I go by the name of Charlemagne Nogal. We are the world's most dangerous morning show, the Breakfast Club. 13 years we've been on this intro. Yes. All right. What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy. And I go by the name of Charlamagne Tha God. We are the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. 13 years we've been on this radio. Okay. And we appreciate all our listeners out there.

That's right. We did a little stint on TV with Revolt, Shout to Revolt. We did Revolt for a couple of years, right? Yes, we did. And that ended. Yes. And then after that, we were looking for a place to broadcast our morning home that we felt fit us. And you know, being that this is Breakfast Club 2.0,

because this show has grown and evolved. Correct. It's only right that the evolution is televised, right? Absolutely. The evolution will be televised. So are you saying that the Breakfast Club, each and every morning, will be televised on television again? Yes, we will.

And it will be in all the cable networks. All across the world. All across the country. 9 a.m. every single morning, Monday through Friday, you can listen to The Breakfast Club on our new home. Say it again. Say it. Say it.

On BET. That's right. Every morning you can watch The Breakfast Club on B.E.T. Black Entertainment Television. Starting April 17th at 9 a.m. Eastern, Monday through Friday, okay? That's right. So everything you see from our interviews, the artists, the donkey of the day. Our guest co-hosts like Brunel.

Our guest co-hosts and everybody will be on B.E.T. So if you're in a place where your radio doesn't work or maybe you're getting the kids together, you can turn on the TV and watch my handsome face and Charlamagne's ugly face, whatever it is. First of all, first of all, let's never forget Morris Chestnut gets confused for me. Don't you ever.

That is a damn lie. That only happened one time. Don't you ever disrespect us. That only happened one time. Don't you ever disrespect us like that ever again. More like Malik Yo. Okay. Stop. Damn it. As soon as you say Malik

Yo, I gotta put you out. Alright, but turn it back up. But that's right. Starting April 17th, 9am, The Breakfast Club will be on BET. So shout out to our BET family. Shout out to our iHeartMedia family. Shout out to some of the people at BET.

It's only right, right? Right. Because, you know, when you think about cultural institutions, when you think about black cultural institutions, you think of Rap City. Correct. Right? You think of 106 and Park. Of course. I feel like the Breakfast Club being on BET is just carrying on that tradition.

Absolutely. You know? And we can't wait till you guys see us. Again, that starts April 17th. Monday, April 17th. You can catch us live each and every morning on BET.

Congratulations! Thank you. Congratulations! Congratulations! Oh, my God. I'm going to tell you something else. I feel like it's only right

to open up the phones to the listeners right now because it's because of the listeners that, you know, we get put in these great positions. I would love to know

what our listeners think about us being on BET. Shout out to our family on BET. All the people that made this happen. Shout out to Connie. Come on, shout them out. Salute to Tiff Will. Tiffany Williams. Connie. Tasha. Tasha. Man, I don't know all them people, man. It'd be like 30 people.

That's why I do it to you. Why would you do that? Why would you even start that, bro? I know my people. I know who I know over there. Me too. You know what I mean? You got a lot more people now. I said Connie already.

I said Tiffany Williams. I said Tasha. We said Tasha. That's all I got. That's all we got? But salute to everybody over there. Shout out to the BET staff and everybody that's going to be recording and making this show special. That's right.

We appreciate you guys. Lunell, what do you think about us being on BET? I think that's fantastic because you do want to sometimes move around the house and just have the TV on, be able to listen, look in. And I think that's a great thing. Okay. Now, I just want to tell you. I'm glad you made the announcement with me here. I just want to tell you, that doesn't mean Charlamagne and I are going to dress nice every day.

We're still going to come in buddies. We don't have haircuts. We're throwing a hat. The only thing you'll hear change is you'll hear some BET shoutouts every now and then. Absolutely. I mean, a lot now. A lot, yes. Because we are on BET.

I got to come back now that you're going to be on TV. We're going to have you back. Yay! You already know. Thank you. All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051.

Don't tell everybody at work to do that or all y'all can all watch The Breakfast Club at 9 a.m. on your computers together as a family.

Congratulations, man. 10 years. That's a big achievement that I've been listening to you guys. We're in our 13th year, sir. 13th year. 13th year. I've been listening to you guys for 10 years. Yes, yes.

And for you guys to be able to go on TV, it's amazing. I guess Charlamagne is going to have to stop doing any butt molds. So I don't think it'll be good. So allow that on TV. Nothing stops here, bro. The butt molds will not stop.

Nothing stops. That doesn't stop here, sir. Lunell, you want me to stop the butt molds? Hey. Never. Hey, I heard DJ Envy got this at the front of his house.

So when he walks out, he kind of rubs it like he's walking on the Apollo every morning. That's a fact. That would be dope. You know what? We might put the butt mold outside the door so when artists come in, he kind of rubs it like he's walking on the Apollo every morning. That's a fact. It's for good luck. You know what? We might put the butt mold outside the door so when artists come in, they gotta rub it

for luck. Hey, there you go. Just put a piece of table over the Apollo. I think that'd be a little bit too much. What's that new song? My Vagina Pink and My Booty Whole Brown or something like that? I don't know. I have no idea what you're talking about. Oh, okay. Sorry.

That is a song. It's popping out here, too. I was born in the 1900s. I don't know. I don't see that. I have no idea what you're talking about. Oh, okay. Sorry. That is a song. It's popping out here, too. Yeah, that ain't. I was born in the 1900s. I ain't got time for that. Salute to that person, though, whoever that is. Hello, who's this? Hello, good morning.

Hello. Hello. Hello. Hey, this is Ashley. We can't hear you. Hello. Can you hear me now? No, we can't hear you.

Yes, we can. Why are you playing with her? I'm just messing with her, man. I can hear myself echoing. How are can't hear you. Yes, we can. Why are you playing with her? I'm just messing with her, man. I can hear myself echoing. How are you? Good morning. Good morning, Ashley. Good morning.

I just want to say congratulations to you guys. And I hope you do not get a new co-host. Because I love different people coming up here every week. And, yeah. We like to rotate and guess holes, too. You know? We enjoy it. Yeah, I don't think You guys should get like

Another permanent person It's like It just gives like Stepmom vibes Damn Nobody wants Nobody wants to be stepmom Okay

We got a bad connection girl Bye girl No She said she She said she liked The rotating guest host She just don't know If she wants somebody permanent.

Why you hang up on that woman? I have no power to hang up on nobody. Don't play me like that. I disagree with that, though. What's that? I think eventually, you know, somebody permanent has to fill this. Eventually, but I think, you know, for a while. You know, we still got a lot of people that are scheduled to come up here.

We're super duper excited about that. I saw your little chart. Who's your favorite? It said, who's your favorite? It said, who's your favorite? Oh, for March Madness, we did the bracket. Yeah. Who's your favorite so far, Luna? Me.

You won't be able to tell about today, but I saw how to get there yesterday. You had a great day yesterday. And the day's not over. That's right. You're having a great day today, Luna. I'm glad to be here. And we're happy to have you here. You know, but we should

tell them a little bit about the show that will be on BET. It's going to be at 9 a.m. Right. So it's going to be the best of stuff that from that morning. Correct. You know what I mean? So the interviews that we have on that morning, the donkey of the day from that morning, our guest co-host from that morning, the topic from that morning. That's what we'll be airing at 9 a.m. every day on BET right so you'll probably get like you said the artist interviews you probably get the donkey whatever uh topic we've been talking about so you'll get it before anybody else you get it before it hits to youtube and it'll be pretty dope and we can't wait to see you guys and and do so many because

it's not just that we're going to be doing some a lot of stuff with BET which I think is going to be really really great as well allegedly no that's. I mean, that's what we've been talking about. Our team is up there, so our team is going to make it happen. I hope so. Wouldn't that be dope if the Breakfast Club hosted the BET Awards, the pre-show? Let us do the pre-show. Maybe give out some awards. I agree with that.

I'd rather do the pre-show. I want to leave. I don't want to stay for the awards. We've got to save you time. I'd like to do the pre-show. I think it's an hour-long pre-show. I do have a little beef with BET. I think it's an hour long pre-show. An hour show, yup. I do have a little beef with BET. What is it? Tell us. The beef I have with BET is that with Comic

View having been such a staple at BET for so many years and literally kept the show on the air for so many years, they don't invite any of the past hosts to come on to present an award. They don't have a comedy award show. They don't have anything for us to do.

I never get to attend. I don't get to present any award. Laura Hayes should be there. They don't do anything for Ronaldo Ray. Ronaldo Ray, wow. And I think that they really have slighted the comics that helped build the brand of the station sorry bet but that's how i feel now i agree with you they should bring bet comic view back actually they should bring bet comic view

connie if you're listening it's a great idea it's a fantastic they should definitely at least do a retrospective yeah and and flashback bt A BET Comic View documentary. That's right. Yeah, no, you're right. Okay. You're right. Okay, so that's all I had to say. We can not look forward to meals tonight at BET, too. Damn it, man.

All right. I said what I said. But we're taking your calls, 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club will be on BET starting April 17th. What are your thoughts? Let's talk about this. The Breakfast Club, good morning. Hey, everybody.

It's DJ and the Charlamagne, the talk about this. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ, MD, Charlamagne, the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Lunella's our guest host. I am. Now, when we start the show, we don't say, we wouldn't say, good morning, USA. Yo, yo, yo. We don't say, good morning, BET. Or do we say, good morning, BET?

No, we will still say, good morning, USA. And I think we should acknowledge BET every morning. BET family. Yeah, since we're going to be on there Monday through Friday at 9 a.m. And that keeps us from having to do like, you know, you know how they do like the silly promos and like, you know, this is the breakfast club on BET. It's like, no, it's all encompassing. It's all natural.

It's all, let's just keep it organic. Do y'all get more money for that? A little bit. Yeah. A little bit. Yeah. A little bit. A little bump.

A little bump. Yeah. Something to donate to charity. Okay. I have a charity. What? donate to Charity. Okay. I have a Charity. It's true. Jesus Christ. It's good.

I like telling you right now, Ray J is the most unserious person that you could have said. I can't take Ray J. He is so funny.

I like him. He's funny. For a full week, I'd have to take pills for a full week. I love Ray J. Like a day, I could take Ray J. Two, yes. But for five days, he was driving me crazy. I love Ray J.

I love Ray J, though. I can tell you right now, Ray J will be a guest co-host. He'll be a guest co-host. He will not be permanent. Who are you?

We're going to be talking about everything. So it's going to be a lot of fun and a lot of seriousness.

We're doing what we do. The beauty of it is BET is just magnifying the platform even more. You know what I mean? Breakfast Club is already in 90 plus markets across the country 133 markets sir no 133 stations oh stations but 91 markets right yeah and so um you know we we're on that platform and it's just like now BET is just magnifying that correct even more you know what I mean so it's like the messages we're already putting out there.
