Good morning. I just wanted to get off my chest the fact that I did nothing. And now I'm broken up with the boyfriend that I've been with for three years. Because his side girlfriend thinks that I'm been with for three years because his side girlfriend thinks that I'm her stalker. Wait a minute. His side girlfriend thinks that you're his stalker? Mm-hmm.

All right. Explain this to me a little bit more now. Okay. Okay. So I've been with this boy for like almost three years. Okay. And when I came out of my my relationship he came out of his relationship for a long time and he still wanted to explore and all that and we didn't know what we was

so he told me like oh i'm talking to this one i'm talking to that one talking that one so it's like okay whatever but time had passed and he had started moving his stuff into my apartment, and we started establishing things. I worked for the city. I put him on my insurance. We started establishing and making plans. I didn't realize how strong of a connection he was making with other girls, but then he comes to me one day and tells me that the other girl.

Okay, okay, I've heard enough. So you're not his only girl? No. I'm not his only girl, no. Okay, so what are you calling here to ask us? Well, she's upset because she put him on insurance. I'm not. It was serious. It was serious.

I wasn't asking anything. Oh, you're just mad at yourself for being stupid? Hey. Yes. How old are you? 34. 34 years old. How many girls has this man got?

Who knows? But you can understand it, though. How many yeast infections have you had since y'all been digging i know your ph balance is always off stop it come on no it's not oh okay i understand though because you you put him on insurance he moved in you thought it was more serious than it was and he was still playing the field well see see i want to tell you that that you know you can do better that's not the part that i'm mad at the part that I'm mad at is that I have nothing to do with his other relationships. And I'm being accused of being a random girl stalker.

Why would you care? I don't even know this girl. Why would you even care? You shouldn't even speak to her. Why would I even care? This is what I'm saying. You ever been accused of something you absolutely did not do? Yes.

And just super f***ing frustrated, but then also super relieved? Because it's like, you never trust me in the beginning. But it's just super fucking frustrating. Well, stop cursing. I really didn't do it. I understand you're upset, but stop cursing. But understand that the truth don't need no defense. It only needs witnesses.

So as long as you know the truth, that's the most important thing. But the truth is, you just one of this man's hoes. Now, you need to ask yourself, do you just want to be one of this man's hoes or do you want to be more to somebody?

Because if you want to be more to somebody, then you need to go find that somebody because it's not going to be with him. Yeah. I'm sorry you went

right now she She not. The Breakfast Club. If y'all talking about it, you know we talking about it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we've seen something that was trending online yesterday.

This is from the Facts and Law podcast. They had a young lady on there, and she was talking about dating, and this is what she said. I'm not dating a man that does not come from a two-parent household. I don't care what race you are. You came from a two-parent household? No. But I'm going to explain to you why. There's a big difference with the man who was raised with his mother and father versus a man who was just raised with his mother.

And I had the pleasure of marrying a guy who was raised by his mom. And I dated, seriously, a guy who was raised by his mom and I dated seriously a guy who was raised by both parents it's a big difference and coming from a household where I was raised by my mom as a grown woman I'm telling you it's a difference so we're asking 800-585-1051 do you agree there's a difference between dating someone that comes from a two-parent household verse someone that comes from that doesn't come from a two-family household or two-parent household i should say i will start with you jess what do you think i just think it depends on the situation i've dated you know men who listen i have never dated a man who um and that's not just not by choice like who's come

from a two-parent. I haven't. I've dated. I've been in three relationships where the moms were deceased. You know what I'm saying? And it shows greatly in the men. Yeah. Mommy issues shows differently. Like Rome.

Rome was the first one. Mommy issues to this day, you know, and it also goes off of how he treats women. Then it was another dude. You know what I'm saying? Wayne don't have his mother neither. That shows greatly in him as well. You know, he just don't have the same issues that Rome got. Then the dude I took on the show, the guy before I dated Chris, like, yeah, he lost his mother too.

And it shows that he didn't know how to give affection. It shows in different ways. You know what I'm saying? So that was the first question I asked Chris on a date. Where your mother? You know what i'm saying so that was the first question i asked chris on a date with your mother you know what i'm saying and yeah and it definitely shows now he didn't have his mother and his father but his mother and grandparents raised him you know what i'm saying so it it is a difference but you don't go picking and choosing like oh if do you come from a two-parent household because listen you can be oh, do you come from a two-parent household? Because, listen, you can be effed up and come from a two-parent household. Correct.

Because it was an unhealthy balance. Your mom was doing something to your dad or your dad was mistreating your mom or something like that. So you can't just say, yeah, this is what I want. This is what I'm going to get. And it's going to be a great relationship because this person comes from a two-parent. But it has to be something lacking, right? If you don't have two parents in the household or you're not raised by both of your parents But it has to be something lacking, right? If you don't have two parents in the household or you're not raised by both of your parents,

it has to be something lacking, right? Regardless, if your mom is not in your life, there has to be some emotional, some sensitive side that is lacking. And if your father's not in your life, there has to be something there as well, right? Has to be. And very much, that's true.

But say if you got two parents, say if you have two parents, say if you have two parents. Right. And one of them don't know how to be a parent. You know what I'm saying? So it's kind of like you still lacking. Like it don't it just depends on how you parent, how you come up. You know what I mean? Yeah. Number one, I don't know why we're listening to that young woman because you didn't come from a two parent household herself. OK. And I would think that it's more so about the relationship that you have with your parents as opposed to just coming from a two parent household herself okay and i would think that it's it's it's more so about the relationship that you have with your parents as opposed to just coming from a two-parent household you've been saying that just like you can have both parents and those two parents could be effed up

they might not have instilled anything good in you or to another point you made just the two-parent household may have been dysfunctional correct you might have saw those parents arguing all the time fighting all the time so it doesn't matter if you come from a two-parent household it just comes it matters if the person that's raising you is instilling good things in you that's it i don't think she was coming from a place of how you're raised i think she was coming from a place of of what you're possibly missing by not having both parents raising you and maybe you know because i do feel like if you don't have both parents in your life you have to be missing something something has to be a lack of if both your parents are not in your life. Maybe not.

Well, we have Vivian on the line. Vivian, good morning. Good morning. Hey, what's your opinion, Vivian? Good morning. Good morning. My opinion. Good morning, everybody.

Hey, Jess and Shavaleen. Good morning. My opinion is the young lady's man has been saying a man raised by a father and a mother may have seen a woman being treated well by a man on a daily basis whereas a man just raised by his mother did not see how to treat a woman on a daily basis not about being raised by a wrong it's seeing a woman being treated as well on a daily basis. But don't you think that's a generalization? Because it could be the flip side. You could grow up in a two-parent household where you saw the daddy treating the mother bad

or the mother treating the dad bad. Thank you, baby. That's true, too. Absolutely. But I'm just saying, from her perspective, maybe what she was saying. I don't know what was in her mind, but when I heard her speak, that's what I grew up with. A two-parent household?

I thought my dad did my mom well. Well, let me ask you a question, Vivian. Should we be listening to that young woman believing that she didn't come from a two-parent household herself? You know what? I think the fact that she did not come from a two-parent household lets her know what she wants. She knows what she doesn't want

because of what she hasn't experienced. But that's my point. What's that? Thank you. What she's pointing out and others saying they lack because they didn't come from a two-parent household,

how come that don't apply to you, young lady? Well, I mean, maybe that's what it is. Maybe she sees what she's missing and doesn't want to date somebody that does not have the same things that she lost out on.

You know what I mean? No, she said she was very confident she said no i was raised by a single mother and like basically like she was turned she turned out great but a man who was just raised by his father she don't want that no yeah i don't like that you want you you have to have yeah she was saying like her mother did great with her like you know what i'm saying i was like she positioned. Until you talk to the men that date her, and they be like, oh, hell no. She's all that. I never dated her. Hello, Kim.

Hi, good morning. Hey, Kim, what's your thoughts? My thoughts is I don't find anything wrong with it. I feel like it's always a problem for women who say we want to do better. If this young lady has experience dating somebody from a two-parent household, why are we not living by their mantra, you know better, you do better? From experience, dating anybody,

man or woman, coming from a single parent household, it's a hassle. It's a hassle dating me, and I came from a single parent household. You had just a mama or just a daddy? Which one? Just a mother. Now, my mama was a piece of work.

I don't stand a chance in a relationship. All I heard all my life is,'m good looking because I'm from Brooklyn. All the time. You got a man now? No. Are you looking for, do you have that? I'm looking for a man, but ain't nobody going to deal with this. And my mother was an alcoholic.

See? I'm an alcoholic, and I don't even drink. See? I love people that know they're something. She said, ain't nobody going to deal with this. my mother was an alcoholic I love people that know themselves she said ain't nobody gonna deal with this I got a bunch of homegirls I wish would look in the mirror and say the same thing ain't nobody gonna deal with this I know one up here right now nothing I'm sorry damn

I got a little too carried away I see 800 585-1051 we were talking from the facts and law podcast I got a little too carried away. I see. 800-585-1051. We were talking from the Facts and Law podcast. A young lady was on there yesterday and said she would never date a man that came from a single parent household. This is what she had to say. I'm not dating a man that does not come from a two-parent household.

I don't care what race you are. You came from a two-parent household? No. I don't care what race you are. You came from a two-parent household? No, but I'm going to explain to you why. There's a big difference with the man who was raised with his mother and father versus the man who was just raised with his mother. And I had the pleasure of marrying a guy who was raised by his mom, and I dated, seriously, a guy who was raised by both parents. It's a big difference.

And coming from a household where I was raised by my mom, as a grown woman, I'm telling you it's a difference. So we're asking what's your thoughts. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're talking about this woman that was on the Facts and Law podcast. She said she would never date a person that came from a single parent household uh and we're taking your calls 800-585-1051 now jess you said it doesn't matter no well it just depends it doesn't matter and we can't necessarily say well that's better or those relationships where a man came from a two-parent household are more successful like any household can be toxic you know what i'm saying like any household like look let's just take like let's be honest right the jackson five look at their mom and look at their dad you know i'm saying two-parent household

joe wouldn't even let his kids call him dead he was beating him and doing everything i'm saying like it was a lot going on there. Then, that's less. And then, see, I think when people feel like, when they think of two-parent household, they think of one, like, the Huxley. The Cosby Show. You know what I'm saying? The Cosby Show. Like, they think of that. But, no, you have so many different types of two-parent households.

Variations, yeah. You don't know. Yeah. Yeah, she should have worded it better. She should have said, I'm not dating anybody who didn't see a healthy relationship growing up you know what i mean like that's what she should have said but you know even with that you know some people who don't see a healthy relationship go the complete opposite you know some people that don't they didn't have a dad in their life want to make sure they're in their kid's life even more because they

knew what that feeling was so that could be wrong too i think this whole conversation we having is exactly why you shouldn't generalize right and that's what she did she generalized like there's no one way to do it nicole take us off bluetooth for speaker please perfect what's your thoughts mama um i just want to say good morning everyone also um i feel like a family background is just important in general. Whether you come from a single mother or a single father or a two-parent. I grew up in a two-parent household. But I feel like the way you see your parents portray love in general is just going to be how you portray love. So I think just the family dynamic in general is important.

That's right. Okay. Well, thank you so much. Thank you. Hello, who's this? Andrea. Andrea, good morning. What's right. Okay. Well, thank you so much. Thank you. Hello, who's this? Andrea. Andrea, good morning. What's your thoughts?

I agree with the comment. What comment? The comment about coming from a two-parent household. Oh, what the lady said? Why do you agree? Yes, I agree. I come from a two-parent household. To me, it's structured better,

especially when, you know, the dad's involved. Discipline is better. So I completely agree. Okay. Well, thank you, mama. Hello, who's this?

Hey, it's Tom. What's your comments? What's your, what do you think, brother? Hey, foremost, good morning, everybody. Good morning. Bless black and holly favorites.

Hey, I'm a, hey, likewise, man. Hey, I'm going to tell you, I totally cold-heartedly disagree with the young lady. Like Charlemagne and God said, everything you stated was true. I can say I came from a both-parent household, but then I know it's called manipulation, but at the same time, when a man grows up, regardless, and life happens, he decides how to take care of a woman, and he knows how to take care of a woman based off of maturity. So how can she say that?

And then she sounds like a person, and I'm sorry to have to say sound because I haven't seen her and not going to see her, but she didn't even come from a two-parent household, so how can she be relatable to that scenario? And then she meets another guy that happened to be opposite of the first guy, but here's the deal. Who to say he didn't lie to her and he just understands the mission? Maturity happens.

You start understanding the mission, how to take care of a woman, how to keep them secure, and make sure they stay fed, guide them as a king. And then after that, it's successful. So what she's saying is she just happened to meet somebody else that was better than the other. But then how does she relate that, and how can she put that on a scale if she never met both parents? It could just be hearsay. That's real.

Thank you, brother. Well, I'm going to the stream. You know we do go live, so I'm going to read some of the people on the live. Shout out to Miss Underscore Candy for, she says, there are a lot of two-parent households with verbal abuse, physical abuse, and infidelity. Anyone can make changes in their lives for the good of any relationships. It depends on the actual person.

That's a fact. Somebody else said, a two-parent, not so much. I think a man having a good relationship with his mother is more important. That's right. That's what I said earlier. It's just like it's about the relationship that the child has with the parent, the single parent or whatever. Because you can come from a two-parent household, and that two-parent household could be instilling a whole bunch of nonsense in you. With the parent. The single parent or whatever. Because you can come from a two parent household. And that two parent household.

Could be instilling a whole bunch of nonsense in you. That's right. I see. I am Cher K I A D. She says. I know men from both one parent. And two parent household. That's both messed up mentally.

So she's saying it doesn't matter. Another woman says. Work out with butterfly. Good morning. Work out with butterfly. She morning, work out with butterfly. She says, I don't agree. It's up to that person

to grow up the right way in adulthood. It doesn't matter. I see somebody else says, two parent households don't mean nothing. A lot of two parent households involves abuse.

That's right. So what is the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is stop generalizing. Everybody be generalizing. They need to be getting on these podcasts

and just getting on platforms and just doing these broad generalizations. If that works for for you if you want to just date people from a two-parent household cool but guess what young lady you don't even come from one all right so what's wrong with you let's start with you man what's your problem and what about the people with no parents i know they like hold up yo can i get in this conversation you stupid you know what i'm saying you know people in foster care that's been raised greatly that hasn't been. People's parents who died.

Yeah. Yeah, people's parents who died. And it's like they didn't get to be raised by, you know, finish being raised. So it just depends, yo. So, yeah, generalization is crazy for this. One's raised by their grandparents. That's right. You know what I'm saying?

What if my parents didn't want me and I ended up getting raised by my grandparents? Then what? Or you had your baby young and the grandparents helped you out until you got to be together. Exactly.

You go. Happens all the time. Yes. It sounds just like a Salaberry movie. Yeah. All right. This is The Breakfast Club.

Like if it's some stupid petty-ish, then that's something small but if it's something serious where somebody tries to to hurt some something in your you or your family or try to take something for you or try to stop the way that you eat or try to destroy your life your career nah you gotta show me how serious it is though because jess brought up a good point

earlier when she was talking about her and sheena and she said you and she you and the girl used to fall out all the time so she ain't think nothing of it i gotta see something i gotta see a fight i gotta see this but if the girl posted jess's stuff online what if i ain't see all that that's just best friend what are we talking about you know everything like you know not you talking about you know my best friend like come on you know everything you because she was like i seen it i didn't think it was that serious my baby it was two of my numbers and my address that's where my son lays his head at what you talking about that is true you know that is true like so yeah yeah me and the girl did fall out but shane never do nothing like that you know what i'm saying and then that's that's

why i haven't seen her to that day let's go to the phone lines good morning good morning hey Good morning. Good morning. Hey, Bria. We're asking, is your friend's enemy your enemy? Absolutely. You want to elaborate? Absolutely. Yeah. So if you're not friends with someone, I know why you're not friends with them. Why am I hanging out with them? Why am I giving them conversation?

They're showing that I'm unloyal to my friend. That's right. Okay. Thank you, mama. There's nothing to talk about. Hello. Who's this? Dev. Thank you, mama. There's nothing to talk about. Hello, who's this? Hey, Devonna. Hey, Devonna.

We're asking, is your friend's enemy your enemy? I guess it depends on what type of friend she is for one. She might just be a regular friend

or she might be my best friend. If it's my best friend and it's her enemy, then absolutely my enemy is her enemy. But for the most part, if it's just some random beef that they got,

then, you know, and me and the other person might have a good accord, and I can't say that. But I can't speak for also if they get into an uptick and then I'm going to be on my front side 100%.

Okay, thank you. You know what it is, man? We all get to a certain age where we know we can't beat nobody up no more. That's really the problem. Like, when you young, you can just run down on people, beat them up,

but then you get to a certain age, you're like, you know you can't beat nobody up and it's frustrating. You know what I mean? Yeah. yeah well i'm not there yet so oh yeah you're not old enough i'm i'm i'm i'm there i'm like headlock mode headlock say you're not dead yet even i don't know why y'all want to be so old up here and on this show but no y'all can you you can y'all both work out y'all both you know i'm saying y saying? Y'all fight probably maturely, but still. Maturely.

No, that's true. Because I think about what I'm going to do to a person when I see them. I'm like, you know what? I'm not going to hurt that person. I'm going to, like, put them in a headlock, give them a little nuggy. You know what I mean? I might grab his ear, twist it. You know?

That's dumb. I'll just push him. I'll just push him. Like, come here. Let me talk to you. You know? That is so bad. Poke him like the Pillsbury Doughboy. Poke him all in his stomach. Come here. Come here, man here let me talk to you you know that that is so poke him like the pillberry dough boy poke him all in his stomach come in come in man we'll talk to you that's yay

like what are we talking about good morning good morning girl how you doing i'm doing great how are you less black and highly favorite is your friend's enemy your enemy so it definitely all depends because if my friend is doing something dangerous, for example, my brother was murdered by his friend. And had he known that this friend had this envy and jealousy about him, he could probably still be alive today. So it all definitely depends. If your friend is doing something dangerous,

they're not trying to take responsibility or do something about it, they need to stay away from them. And you need to let other people know about that so that they don't get in the cause of it because somebody can lose a life. Can I tell you something?

Friendships aren't just something regular anymore. That's an actual relationship. So you need to take it serious. I agree with you, Queen, but man, I'm going to tell you something about us as black people. We say the most traumatic things

so effortlessly. Right, well. Like exactly what she just said. She just said it so effortlessly like it was nothing. And you hung up on her like it was nothing after she said something traumatic. There ain't no justice. You ain't even give the girl no condolences. You just hung up with the woman.

I wanted to have a conversation with her about this traumatic experience you just told her. And I was talking about... You see that, Jess? Envy just hung up. Yeah, she was telling us like somebody killed her brother behind something like that. I'm sorry, Queen. that envy just hung up yeah she was telling us like somebody killed her brother behind something like that so i'm sorry queen envy just hung up on you with with the most disrespect i don't know why but like i was saying i just think it's uh it's just we just say the most

traumatic things like it's so effortlessly yeah yeah i would say that was she was saying we got to take it more serious but she was kind of cut off a little bit. A little bit. You mean when he just slammed the phone down on her for no damn reason? I slammed the phone. Hey, hello, ma'am. Hello. Were you the one that just called in a second ago? No.

Yeah. You told us about your brother, your brother that got killed. Oh, no, I'm a nuker. Oh, no. OK, well, since you're here, tell us your trauma. Since you're here. I hate these things. I wanted to answer the question about the friends.

Go ahead, mama. Answer the question. Oh, go ahead. Go ahead. Okay. So, like, it depends basically how long you knew the person. Because, like, my best friend, no matter if she, like, whoever, she don't like them, I don't like them.

But if I knew, like, the person before I knew you, then, like, you know, it depends on the situation. I was thinking about that, too. Well, thank you. Thank you for your call. You hung up on that poor lady. I did. She's crying now. She's not trying to.

You just hung up on her for no damn reason. Because it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlam charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club lauren larosa's filling in for jess and we got a special guest in the building we got tray the truth welcome back tray how you feeling man how you doing brother oh life the life you i know i

know you got a lot going on you want to start with the bs or you want to start with the positive first i don't want to talk about the negative i need i need the energy from y'all all right so how you feeling brother album out right now album's doing well yeah crowd control crowd control yeah it's just you know i'm always trying to add to the catalog and level up you know and um the little homie moxie pumped me up to do a turn up festival song and it ended up turning out to be a whole album so you just put out you just put out stuck in motion last year though yeah yeah but i i'm crazy thing is i'm still kind of at a standstill i got three more i'm supposed to put out this year i don't know how yeah but they are different vibes though

you know because i have the turn up, which is crowd control. I got an album called Him, which is another kind of turn up, but more street. Dark Angel, just all the pain and everything I'm going through. I think that a lot of people probably can use right now to know the thing. The only one that's going through it. And then Live from Mars, the homie Mars from L.A. who do a lot of real production, you know, play all the instruments on tour for everybody. It's a whole album with just live instruments and stuff. Why'd you name the album Crowd Control?

Because it's a festival vibe. You got to be able to control the crowd whenever you touch that stage. You know, I wanted to ask you, Trey, because we had my man Sauce Walker up here a couple of weeks ago. And he was just talking about cultural appropriation versus cultural appreciation. He said he feels like an artist like Drake, who is in the city so much, should do more for the city as far as working with Houston artists. And I wondered what your thoughts was on that. I think everybody, in all honesty, it all depends on what point of view you look at it. And I think as grown men, we are entitled to our point of views.

As far as me, I can only speak for myself. You know, I haven't, I really ain't in tune with what you're talking about. And me and him ain't had a conversation to see his aspect. Because one thing I've learned in all things is a lot of people can say stuff and mean stuff. But how it come across on the internet or how it come across as pushed out can be some totally opposite. So, you know, I think until me and him hold a conversation and now you said i probably have to go look back man i really i've been off the internet man dealing with life lately man like i i had to make myself push this out you know what i'm saying and that's stuff that i you know i legally i can't even just talk

about right now but it's just you know life my life man but what i will say for houston as a whole though i'm very proud you gotta think man one we already had the biggest stars which it's just you know life my life man but what i will say for houston as a whole though i'm very proud you gotta think man one we already had the biggest stars which is undeniable you had you got your beyonce's you got your travis you got your miggs you got your yolanda adams even down to one of the biggest stars that we all grew up on felicia rashad you know you have people from houston but now you have so many you know from the aspect. You had a rejects from the generations after us. You have the sauce walkers, the little Jeremy's, you know, the fast lanes. And, you know, just it's so many different aspects.

And then you have a bunch of females coming out of Houston and coming out of Texas. That's raw. Me personally, my mind right now that I highlight definitely be the rejects, which is you got Big Tony, Cal Wayne, Jack Boy, Fast Money, 30 Ways, Skeet, Millie Bucks, LeRae. I mean, it's a lot of people and it'd be hard to shed light on names because

then you forget people and then you're like, damn. But I think right now as a whole, I think people should definitely pay attention to what we got going on in Houston. And then in the game, people don't really realize what we give to the culture. You go to think of double cups. You go to think of grills. You go to think of cars.

You go to think of, speaking of envy, you know, he ain't going to think the car is the best ever at Houston. It is. Even when you go to think of Trap Soul, that's all a form of what screw used to do you know i'm saying you got to think who don't love trap soul right now from bryson till they're like so i think everybody takes a part of houston as a whole and now we're the biggest goddamn party city right now i was gonna say that you know it was new york for a while then it went to atlanta but now everybody's going to houston how does that affect the city or are people respecting the city?

Because at one time, they were effing Atlanta up during COVID. I mean, there was so much going on. They cleaned it up a lot. But how was it affecting Houston? I think it's a good thing, man. I think it's a good thing for the economy because it brings business. You know, people now, when they do their trips with their homies or their friends, they all going there.

Girls trip to Atlanta, Houston. The fellas drive out and headed to Houston, yeah. Yeah, so, and then other than that, you have people like us who are on the front line. We ain't just letting nobody come through there and tear the town up. That part we ain't going to do. I think everything for us is on the up and up. You know, everybody have their spans. You have different things, whether it may be music, sports, or whatever, Florida.

You have that on the West Coast. You have it in New York. And now even down to the Rockets, down to the Texans, down to the rugby team. People don't even know we got a rugby team. Our rugby team was number two last year. So we got a whole bunch of different things just as a whole with Houston. And outside of that, I'm front line for it. So everything I represent, everybody who except me,

except in Houston right now. When you talk about life be lifin', right, how do you know that you just ain't doing things to stay away from having to deal with all of that, Trey? Like putting out the music, you know, front line and all of the time when there's a catastrophe in the city. Like, how do you know you just ain't running from dealing with your own stuff? What do you mean?

As far as me running from my own problems that I may, let's see, this is you with this therapy. You said you had to push through to even put the music out. It feels like you kind of are. I can laugh and joke about it only because this, this deal, my brother,

but I know the angle he's going. Um, I don't know. I can't say I'm running. I can't say I'm running. Cause I deal with my problems head on. Um, I think a lot of people, I don't know. I can't say I'm running. I can't say I'm running because I deal with my problems head on. I think a lot of people, what I learned recently, so I did for Trady, I did my first men's mental health panel. You know, just for people to get up there and just express themselves for what they're going through.

And, man, a lot of us deal with a lot of trauma that we probably didn't realize, you know. And I don't think I'm running. I think, honestly, for me, I'm not comfortable unless I stay active. If I sit still, one, I get to overthinking. Two, I just feel like stuff just coming to a halt, so I have to just stay active. And even if it's 1,000 pounds of pressure, I'm more comfortable getting out of that than just doing nothing.

And I could be running from time. I don't know. I mean, until that one therapist sit me down and say, this what this is, then never know. Did you ever find one? Uh, I talked to some people through you. Okay, okay. Now have I actually went in that room and sat down?

I haven't did that, but we have long phone conversations and now, you know, not to get too much into it, now I got primary custody of my daughter. So I just introduced her to a therapist. So now you know um not to get too much into it now i got primary custody of my daughter so i just introduced her to a therapist so you know it's just it's a lot of different things that i gotta you know i'm still climbing six she's six so how was her talking to a therapist you know the crazy thing man the the time that that i've allowed her to go because really i'm

i want to find the perfect one i don't i don't necessarily know if the person I take her to is the one she should stick with, but I allow her to do her own thing. I, you know, I get out the way and she can have her own conversation. And then, you know, I learn about it afterwards. But I think everything works again. Why was it important for you to, you know, because a lot of parents say, I don't know if I want to put my child into therapy. Why do you think it was important to put her into therapy?

Because it's a good conversation for parents. Why do you think it was like, I think this is something that would benefit her, especially because you haven't done it? That's one reason, because I know I should. But then you got to think transitioning from one home to the next. This is new to me, so I don't know how long that process takes. I don't know if that process is going to take a week, two i don't know if it's going to take years months so the only thing i can do is do my best to support her you know because at the same time i have to let her know how much she loves i have to let her know even though she may be frustrated because you know

they kids they have friends they have things that they used to now it's a new transition so i have to just i think god teaching me patience in this situation too because at times she may just sit and cry or may say she want her mama like i have to still be over loving to her to let her know like regardless of what it is like i'm here we're gonna we're gonna figure it out i mean if we both got ourselves here and keep bumping our heads so be it but we're gonna figure it out and your your pop is gonna be with you to the end all right we got more with trade the truth when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious charlamagne

the guy we are the breakfast club lauren larose is filling in for jess and we still kicking it with trade the truth lauren a lot of us watched you in that like fight with your daughter like trying to figure out the custody thing or whatever how How does it feel now to be able to, like you said, like you're doing things like putting her in therapy, working things out together. Like you don't have to fight anymore. You can just be dad now.

How does that feel? I'm not going to seriously say I don't have to fight no more, but what I will say is it's a process. You know, the crazy thing you find things like that we'd be proud of that we accomplished. And out of all the big stuff I did in life you know one of the happiest moments

was to enroll her in school you see what I'm saying like stuff like that she got me out there watching her do cheerleading so you know that'd be weird me too look it'd be weird cause everybody's saying like man that's Trey but I'm just

out here trying to pump up do you be yelling in the cheer competition I can't imagine you yelling nah nah nah come on now I'm telling you I clap at the end

I'm a cheer dad I done seen Bun I think Bun granddaughter is a cheerleader I see Bunny Queen at the event all the time I love this for you though

I know especially because knowing what you went through and like you know what I mean like I can only imagine like the enrolling the first day of school. Like what was that? Like y'all wake up early. You go.

Yeah. They're rolling. So her school starts on the third. She haven't even started yet. Okay. So, um, I don't know.

Uh, hers. No, she ain't private. So, okay. Yeah. She'll,

she'll start in, um, on the third. So, you know, wait to see how that go. But ideally, man, you know, it's just a blessing, man. And I think everything I experienced with her and everything that I'm learning is making me a better me.

Because you got to also think, man, if when I'm out moving in the streets, times that I could get in the situation, I'm double thinking it for my kids more as opposed to just moving off emotion and even speaking of emotion i had a conversation with somebody being raised in the streets you would think the way we would we came up somebody say something to you you have to check that that's just what it is right point blank period i'm going all out about that and i didn't realize bro honestly i was learning opposite the strength is being able to dictate when you move because we so used to moving off emotion and that's why i'm instilling a lot of love homies like hey just before you jump the crash out of times i did the same thing like you got to dictate when you move because moving off emotion it feel good for that moment you know what i'm saying and

then you ever see situations when people like damn bro i probably just wasted a whole bunch of time i shouldn't even did that. Now I'm at a point of really teaching people, you know, like, nah, bro, we ain't moving off emotion. Now, at the end of the day,

don't let nobody disrespect you, protect you, your family, everything you got to do and go all out behind it. Just say I'm walking in the hall,

somebody bumped me. Now, younger me will, bro, what the f*** you doing? This one, like, I feel like you got, I'm going gonna let you now do that and he go to get disrespectful then he get what he deserve but for the most part it's

like man sometimes like some of that just don't be worth it bro when'd you adopt this mentality tree in the past six months yeah i mean i'm learning and i'm still a work in progress myself and again it's hard because again I deal with everything head up so this is a new challenge for me to not really move off everything man I used to be to the point you say something slick on the internet I'm trying to find IP address I need to know where you at like you know I'm saying so now it's like sometimes I have to look at stuff and just laugh it off and And it don't be easy. You know what I'm saying?

And I'm sure you can attest to this, Envy. Just how people don't really even know truths about situations. People can form opinions. And it's like sometimes you just got to be able to not be bothered. I think that's going to be my biggest. Once I conquer not being bothered, I think I'm completing what I'm supposed to do. Because I feel like God probably got me something real big coming for me. And he's just like, yeah, it's there.

And I'm letting you know it's there. But I got a feeling you still might f*** up. So I'm going to run you through the ring until I know it's all out of you. And you're going to move right. Do you regret any of your former crash outs? Man, that's a good question. I'm speaking about one specifically. I know you do.

Yes. I know you do. And middle finger to you for doing that right now. I'm just asking. But so it's a double-edged sword. I think everything that I went through in life, good or bad, molds my character. It builds me because we have to learn from experiences, you know.

And I think on that part, I don't regret becoming who I am. I don't regret learning what I learned or some of the brick walls I hit. Now, on the flip side of that, yeah, do I feel like, man, you know what? Some shit just ain't worth it or wasn't worth it. Yeah, I definitely feel like that. And lastly to that, man, it's a frustrating situation when nobody really knows in that particular situation what really went on one i don't really talk you know i don't talk i don't do interviews so i leave the room open for everybody to come up with their own there to come up with their own opinion because i'll be feeling

like i need to explain before it is what it is you know what i'm saying but that becomes the frustrating part because then all in the end if and when people if i ever decide to just speak or go a certain route people be like well damn i had this mixed up the whole time for me it's too late at that point but the other reason why i don't really like in any situation i go in i don't break my neck to go try and control the narrative because it's a blessing when you get to see how people really feel about you man when i tell you i when i seen how mother started showing how they real yeah for me it's two things in mind one is you've been a hater you've been feeling this way you just wasn't man or woman enough to say what the you waited to a situation happen for you to

be like oh yeah man you know what this was you don't really care about that situation this how you've been feeling you just did about you, you just didn't want to be exposed for being a hater. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, all these situations, I think in every lesson that I deal with,

it's a blessing. But how do you move on now? Because, you know, Houston's a big place but a small place, right? Everybody intertwines with everybody. So how do you move on?

Because it's so small. I deal with who deal with me. And those who deal with me man that you know regardless if i talk every day or not they know if they hit me they can always depend on me vice versa you know because a real friend and a real family real homie is gonna be the one that that'll be there supporting you even if it's you against the world and those people you have to value things like that you know i'm saying because you have people I could sit in your face and be like, oh, yeah, man, this and that. And behind your back be like, yeah, man, or whatever happened to him happened.

A real one is behind closed doors or in front like, no, you need anything, let me know. Because what I don't like in life is watching people cheerleading parade to tear somebody down i feel like when you get the what you call the me too crowds and i don't know if i'm using it right in that sense but when i don't like it well i don't either so let's just all pile up and just you know i don't respect that i'd rather you be your own man if you feel some way let let that be known but i mean too like the cancel culture you mean yeah well yeah so i that's why i say that because i didn't know if that was the way to use it but yeah no because it's interesting right like um and from the outside looking in when the situation was down with you and zero it felt like people were taking sides and i was like and me i'm like damn people don't like trade like that have you had a conversation

have you had a conversation after no no the thing is before we never seen each other after we don't see each other like we don't believe it or not we don't see each other, we don't believe it or not. We never really see each other. I don't think I could tell you once or twice we've seen each other within a eight to 10 year time span. Like we don't see each other at all. If you were to run into him tomorrow, today, if he was to call you, would you be open to a conversation? I mean, we grown men like he entitled to how he feel. I'm entitled to how I do. I'm going to speak up for mine the same way i would hope he would speak up for himself so again i'm telling you it ain't no hate on my end i went through what i went through i took it on the chin and i kept it moving you know like it's not like we can't be in the same room i'm gonna be tripping soon as i see him like i ain't really on that type

of time you know i'm a man that is gonna always stand to feel myself and stand on business on what i believe but i'm out here looking for that. Like, you got to realize, bro, I deal with real-life situations. Instead of living for the Internet like everybody else, like I'm trying to figure out what's going to be the next move with my kids. What's the next move with helping somebody else that I'm doing or helping these families or helping some of the young homies out the hood or helping someone with music and business.

So it's like I'm not my life don't revolve around it every day. Alright we got more with Trader Truth it's The Breakfast Club good morning. Good morning everybody we are The Breakfast Club we're still kicking it with Trader The Truth. Charlamagne? How did the death of Beat King impact the city of Houston? I definitely think that was a it was a sad situation it was an unbelievable situation because you know for, we used to death.

Sometimes you'll see stuff on the internet and you'll be like, nah, hell nah. I think that was one of them situations that wasn't expected. Just thinking back, me and him, we really didn't talk much at all. But you can't deny the presence he had when it came to the club. Like he had a tag. When he had the tag, you would know he had something to do with it. So you couldn't deny what he brought. And he stayed in his own lane

because he wasn't trying to make street music. He wasn't trying to do the backpack. He just stayed doing him. And, you know, anybody who stayed doing them and stay in their own lane, you got to respect it because they didn't alter, they didn't shift.

They did what they felt was best for them. So, you know, I felt like it's definitely something that touched the city. I mean, anybody, I'm going to be honest, any fallen soldiers we had from the city of Houston musically always impact the city because Houston and Texas alone really support their artists. So, you know, a lot of deaths, people take it personal. How did you and J. Cole get so close, man?

We've always, close man we've always man we've always been close since since younger man and um it's crazy that's why looking at the song that he did uh trade the truth and the visa like you could look at i didn't have a beard at that time i was you know what i'm saying but um it happened right after i got shot i remember he called me so that was like 2012, 2013? Yeah, yeah. But I'm saying we was cool way before then. But I'm saying right after I got shot, he called me.

And he was just like, man, bro, you got the potential of doing so much, so many people. I feel like I want to just take you with me to show you something different. Basically, to inspire me and show me what I can, what I'm capable of doing and what I can. Mentally, we so stuck, worried about how people are going to look at us, how people are going to laugh at us when we do stuff, or if we're going to fail or succeed. And I think when you get to a point where you're not necessarily caring about that, then you can kind of enjoy it. You know, like that's what it pissed me off when you see. And I don't like even speaking on that because I hate speaking on other situations.

But when Cole said what he said on stage i was there um the apology yeah and the thing is the first thing everybody was saying was oh man he apologized and he's scared he's doing it's like for me it pissed me off which he honestly in his mind is you know i don't want y'all speaking up like i'm fine with that and his mind is one we all was cool and we still are you know what i'm saying but on the flip side like that ain't that ain't his energy like he was focused on his album like it and these things i may supposed to say may not like if if you look at his his tape that came out the last song was supposed to be trade the truth and the visa so that's why at the end when i say even if we fall off we don't we don't fall off that was

the the outro but the pre-intro for his new album the fall off but if you pay attention to the project they end up having the the the record where he went back at him and it just threw everything off and i think honestly within his spirit i salute him because he is on man like i'm not supposed to be keyed up by y'all and at the end of the day he got on that stage and he said it genuinely like that ain't my energy like bro i don't feel good about that because that's not like he wasn't offended by the that was said it was more keyed up by everybody making them go then the only thing the only thing i didn't like is i think cole and cole fans fought for the last couple of years to prove how nice Cole is and how busy Cole is.

And they had so many different complaints. Oh, Cole does his own beats. He should do different beats. And Cole should do more guest appearances. And I just felt like he was doing that. And he was shooting down everybody that he was doing songs with. And it was glad to hear Cole the way I heard him when growing up as a kid as Mixtape Cole. And then I just felt like that whole situation just kind of paused that.

That made me upset. Not to me, because you can't take away what a person was already doing. No, but we haven't seen Cole in a minute since. He kind of did back off a little bit.

Yeah, he fell back. When I heard that brother say he hadn't slept good, he was sleeping good for 10 years and that was the first time in 10 years he didn't sleep good.

That's all you need to tell me. You don't deserve this. Because he gets busy and a lot of times people don't understand. Now, what I will say is I'm not, we ain't going to go in depth

but just don't get f***ed up. His album coming. And when the album comes, it's probably going to shock a lot of people. So, remember what I tell you all the time,

a lot of people form opinions on things and they don't really know situations. That's right. Now, did you audition for Bad Boys 4

or they just called you? Martin, you know, Martin and then my brother. So, you know now did you audition for bad boys 4 or they just called you Martin you know Martin and my brother so you know my my cartoons that I always do I have a partnership with Martin

so you know of course we were we were that's for the one Trey on Tubi or is it that's a different cartoon which cartoon

that was beforehand okay gotcha so we were getting ready to put it out man and we had it's crazy like I can't go in there but just we had big writers different stuff with us covid hit so that's it it messed up any and everything possible

so then after covid we's back on it then the writers and the actor strike came so it was just like yeah so in the midst of um that's still going martin called me and it was actually the last day or two days that they was filming bad boys 4 and um ended up having me come out and get in it now that's a new process of me understanding what with the major movies because they have so many different versions then they had to cut it down to where it's crazy i'm in the trailer but in the movie they ended up cutting the movie down so they took some of the scenes out which i don't know if you know when they come out to streaming services if it go back in or what it is but for me it was just a dope experience and that trailer you see across the world you see me all in it you know

what i'm saying so and martin martin my brother his whole his whole family is my family man they real support of everything i go through, good or bad. Well, let's get into a joint off the album. What you want to hear? What you want to play, Trey? Man, I have no idea. You want to play Fires? That's definitely where we at.

You got to do the dance, though. You got to do the dance if you don't. I don't know. I wouldn't know how to dance if I was a man. Well, let's get into it right now. It's Fires featuring Lil Yachty. It's Trey the Truth. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Some donkey today has just sold himself. I've been watching you, Charlamagne. I was ready for you. I never heard of a donkey the other day. What is it? Say it again, Charlamagne. Yes, you are a donkey.

Everything that Charlamagne'm saying is true donkey today goes to a chicago man named muhammad work who i think i pronounced his name right so it's everybody in chicago now this is a very interesting story to me because a model that i live by is something my grandmother and mother always told me and that is manners will take you where money won't i believe that wholeheartedly i think that it costs nothing to be kind and people will always remember how you made them feel okay people will forget things you did they will forget things you said but they will never forget how you made them feel remember that okay when i tell you this story i tell all the youngins around me all my nieces and nephews when you're working with people but you want to be said about you when you leave them that you are a pleasure to work with because once again manners

will take you where money won't that's right bad manners close open doors good manners will make you matter in life your manners open doors that you know your beauty can't open and and buy you things your money can't okay and this brother muhammad work who clearly believes the same see muhammad is a bank robber ladies and gentlemen yes i can confidently call him a bank robber because he robbed two banks okay once is a coincidence twice is a pattern and he did it twice but he didn't just do it see he walked into one bank with a note that said pay it back soon and then less than 72 hours after he was acquitted of uh and this was less than 72 hours after he was acquitted of committing a similar bank robbery okay gather

around let me tell you the story see two years ago muhammad work who walked into a local bank and pressed a note against the glass that read give me the money please thank you and he left with 595 he was found about a half hour later with about a hundred dollars less and the note that said give me the money please thank you still in his possession okay but let me tell you why our court system is flawed because in court work whose attorney argued that even though he committed a crime it did not amount to robbery because she said robbery involves stealing something by force or intimidation. So his attorney, Mary Judge, claimed there was no implicit or explicit threats of any kind.

Who knew you could go into a bank? Just be nice. Just be polite and ask for what you want and you shall receive it. Well, look at this. If you have ever been refused credit or a loan, all you had to do was be nice. If you got a history of mispayments or possible fraudulent activity on your life don't worry about it you can still get a loan just smile and say give me all the money please okay by the way a jury agreed with his lawyer work who who's 31 years old was released from custody this past friday so on monday afternoon armed with his new knowledge of the judicial system empowered by the fact that he didn't do anything wrong because he was nice about it, he then walked into another bank and handed an employee a note that said, please give me the money.

I'll pay it back soon. Bankers gift. Yes. G.I.F.E. I don't know if he was trying to spell give a gift, but he said bankers gift. G.I.F.E. I don't know what he meant. Was it gift to give? Anyway, bankers gift me in advance. Well, it worked again. And the bank teller gave Wercool more than $2,000 and allowed him to walk out before calling the police. First of all, drop on a clues bomb for that bank teller. I'm so glad you didn't try to be a hero because that bank ain't dying for you.

Okay, Chase is simply the name of a bank. It is not an action you should do when someone robs one okay just let them walk away now let me continue to explain this story the teller described work who is wearing a surgical mask neon green gloves and a neon green winter cap investigators later found surveillance footage of a man wearing guess what the green hat the gloves and buying clothing in a backpack at a nearby target store so they arrested him just about half an hour after the alleged robbery with 200 less than what he had been given at the bank okay you know how i know muhammad doesn't think he's committing any crimes because in both cases he didn't try to get rid of any evidence still wearing the clothes he

committed the crime in still holding on to the note that he used to commit the crime and now he is set to be charged with both bank robbery and bank theft which do not require force or intimidation his lawyer who got him off initially married judge says that this is a more appropriate charging decision in fact she said because of the jury's not guilty verdict i believe the government is now charging both bank robbery and bank theft in a case where there is not evidence of force or threat of force um i think they have to throw the book at the man simply because you have to make an example are you going to have a generation of polite well-mannered crooks right thinking they can get away with crimes simply by saying please and thank you and that's not how any of this works

because here's the thing people judge others on how they act, not what they say. Folks can say anything. Remember what I said earlier? People will forget, you know what you said. OK, but they won't forget how you made them feel. You have to follow that up with actions if you have manners and you say please and thank you. But then do something foul. That's not good manners. OK, having good manners, manners being polite helpful and respectful the others shows you have self-respect but robbing someone after you say please and thank you shows you do not please give muhammad work who the sweet sounds of the hamiltons

oh now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey. Of the day. Yee-haw. It's kind of like when folks say no disrespect, but. But I think instead of saying no disrespect, you should just be like, please, may I disrespect you? Please? May I please disrespect you? I'll apologize for it later.

No. That's what it feels like. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes. All right. The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. The legend, Bruce Bruce. What's cracking, Dave? Welcome. How you feeling? Everything is good.

Everything is good? Yeah. Now, this is the first time Bruce Bruce has been on the show. Yeah. And I want to, you know, sometimes when somebody comes for the first time, I want to start from the beginning, right? Okay. Now, I know your story because I've been studying you.

I've been following you. But for people that don't know, how did Bruce Bruce get get into comedy and i want you to explain your job before comedy well you know i used to be a chef i can cook like a mug and you know everywhere i go i used to always be funny so i hired this guy one time i was running a barbecue restaurant old guy and he said he used to watch me in the kitchen when i first start when he first started he's watching he said you need to go you need to go on stage. And I ain't paying him attention. He said, I'm going to bring you something tomorrow. He brought me this album.

You know, back in the day, he had an album. He was a comedian. But he was ex-nave. He was an alcoholic. He said, don't waste your time on this job, man. You need to go on stage. You know what I did? I quit because I had a family.

I was young, man. I had three kids. And, man, I went and started working for Frito-Lay Potato Chips, selling potato chips. And the whole time I'm selling potato chips and on the dock, I'm just funny, acting crazy. So good old white dude said, you know, you need to go on stage. I see you here every morning.

You know, white guy said, you need to go on stage. You funny. I look at comedians every Friday, Saturday night, you know, and you need to go on stage. And when I took that step, man, I knew that's why I should have been my whole entire life. And what made me take that step? I was going through a divorce. And my ex-wife said, you'd never make it.

Why'd she tell you that? You know what she got? So I just looked at her and said, I see you on TV. You know what I'm saying? And it's been gone. I've been doing it now 35 years. Now, you also mentioned that you were an only child. Only child.

Your father left at the age of five? Yeah, he was four or five. He was in the Air Force. And he was a medic in the Air Force and he was uh he flew choppers and airplanes and when he when he got out he was an anesthesiologist now was it important to to mend that relationship before he passed or yeah i did i did wow my mother said i just wanted to know i remember him and my mother said what you looking for him for you know but they'd be mad but my mother really ran him off you know what i mean she was just she ran him off and she was a monster man you know what i'm'd be mad. But my mother really ran him off. You know what I mean? She was just, she ran him off

you know what I'm saying? I'm like, man, this dude is cool. He was really cool, you know, but she like, I don't want it.

You know, everything he tried to do, she just knocked it down. Like, but she was listening to her girlfriends. That's why I try to tell all these young girls,

don't listen to no woman that ain't got no man. That's right. You know what I'm saying? If you got a woman, if you got a girlfriend, you got a husband try to tell all these young girls, don't listen to no woman that ain't got no man. You understand what I'm saying? If you got a woman, if you got a girlfriend, you got a husband, she know how to treat her husband, but a woman that don't have a man, she can't tell you nothing. But he left, and he never, ever called us.

Ever. And my mother didn't even know she was divorced. He did a non-contested divorce because my mother just worked, come home, never went anywhere. So when she said, I think I'm going to get a divorce divorce and when she would do this so you already was you know I could tell so you put it in the newspaper for 30 days you don't answer the ad BAM you divorce I did not he was already gone he was he was gone man I got married three more times I found it when I was like 40 years old so

But it's funny how it dip over, you know what I'm saying? But I met with him, and we talked, and we stayed in touch. And he ended up passing away about 17 years ago. My mother passed away 14 years ago. Wow. Did you and your mom ever have to talk?

Did you ever have to say to your mom, Mom, it was you? Yeah. She said, you know, I was wrong. She said, I didn't care. She said, but I had another boyfriend. You know, my mom would fool around.

And my buddy said, man, that's your mama's boyfriend? What's your mom? I said, no. I said, that's my mom's boyfriend, but that's not my mom. It was another lady. So I got out the car, looked at him, and said, hey, you know I see you, right?

He said, oh, hey, how you doing? Played it out. Come on to my mom's house. I told my mother. I said, I seen him with another woman. He looked me dead in the eye. He said, that was not. He did not see me i told my mother i seen him with another woman he looked me dead in my eyes that was not he did not see me and my mother believed it the reason she believed it because i didn't like him so she just kind of figured i made up a story about him and she let

back in the day and they used to call him the sweet bread man and gladys knight knew him his name was paul henson jr and he went by the Sweetbread Man because he was the baker in Atlanta, Georgia. He was the man. And he'd talk about Gladys all the time. But Gladys and I was really raised on the same street. The street was Chestnut Street. They changed to James P. Brawley. I was on 415.

She was on like 785, something like that. Just right up the street, like two blocks up. Did you know her? No, no. I was a little kid. But she lived there with her first husband, you know what I'm saying? But Gladys is a girl, though, man.

Wow. How were you able to translate your funny to actually make a career of it, but somebody like Uncle Paul, who was funny, couldn't? I don't know. Uncle Paul was just scared to go. He was scared. See, black people back in the day

had the skill to do everything, but they were scared to do it. They had so much fear. See, like young kids now, they'll do it. They had so much fear. Young kids, now they'll do it. I don't care. I'll do it. I just took it and ran with them. Mark was one of the best bakers in the world. He went against bakers from France and Italy, from England,

and he beat them all out. Then he went to, he had a cheesecake that he made that was one of the best cheesecakes in the world, and they tricked him out of it and didn't have sense enough to get a lawyer and everything. Gave him like $10,000. They clapping. He was all happy. When he could have got

$100 million. You know what I'm saying? But just didn't have the sense and the knowledge to do that at the time. I wanted to know, as a child, was Bruce Bruce big as a child? No, man. They used to call me Lil Bruce, man. I didn't get fat until I got married. I don't know why I got married. All that kick your uncle? Oh my God. I wouldn't eat it, man. I didn't get fat until I got married. I don't know why I got married. That's why I get... All that kick your uncle's ass?

Oh, my God. I wouldn't eat it, man. I was just a little bitty dude just running around just messing with everybody. I was a little bitty kid, man. But when I got married, I got fat. You know, that's what happened to us

as black men. We get complacent. We get complacent with jobs. We get a job and it be... Let's just say germ motors. We make a little money. Oh, man, that's a good job. I don't care nothing about a good job.

It's about getting out there, getting it. Because it's more than that than getting a good job. I ain't like that question, by the way. What you mean? I ain't like the question he asked. Wait, what? Was Bruce Bruce little as a child? Oh, that's hard.

Was he a big child? I wasn't no fat kid, man. That's all I'm asking. That's what he wanted to say. He thought I was a big fan. He thought I just couldn't clap my hands. Of course, he was little as a child. He's a kid. A little I just couldn't clap my hands. Of course, he was little as a child. He's a kid.

Little fat kid couldn't clap his hands. Yeah, I'll clap my hands. Da, da, da, da, da. But no, man, I was a little kid. Little cute joker, man, running around messing with everybody. And, you know, we seem to lose focus. And that's what happened. You lose focus, you start eating crazy.

But now, I'm back at it, man. I'm 62 years old, man. Wow. All right, we got more with Bruce. Bruce, when we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy. Yes, I lost my voice. Chet Solarius, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Bruce. Bruce, now I got a question. What's the most difficult city for you? Because you're on the road, what, five days a week, four days a week, seven, seven inches.

I'm on the road, you know, every week. What's the toughest city for you? I'm going to be honest. I never had a tough city man i've had some tough crowds when the comedy clubs hold these people hostage you know like let's just say first show is at seven second show's supposed to start at 10 all right they let the first show run over these people who come to the show at 10 o'clock are outside waiting so they still piss they piss pissed. So you got to really go to work to make them laugh.

Or say something like this. Say, y'all ever been at work and didn't want to be there? They'd be like, yeah. That's the way I feel now. So when you break the ice with them, you got them. Once you get them, you got them. But you got to run the clubs on time. It's hard dealing with us as black people. It's hard to deal with our black people, man.

But the white clubs, they be on it. Bam bam because they realize the money they can make in a short length of time you know you didn't make me think about when it come to doing business with black people and white people because i love doing business with with my people right but i don't think we often look at it as business like it's almost like it should be a personal transaction it's always hook up you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People call my manager and be like, me and Bruce go back 15 years and I don't even know this brother.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I met him at the gas station and you don't know me, bro. Maybe I come across like you do know me, but you don't know me. They'll call and be like, we discussed a deal and he said he would do it for this.

That's not true because I don't discuss money at all with anybody. But they always think it's like a partner thing when it should just for this. That's not true because I don't discuss money at all with anybody. But they always think it's like a partner thing when it should just be business. That's right. Do you remember your best show and you remember your worst show?

Yeah, man. I can remember a lot of them. But people don't know it. I know it. I can remember my first. I mean, I come off stage and tell a guy,

I didn't like that show. But people thought it was great. But I'd be like, I didn't like that show. What was your worst show? Because they said, you don't write things down. It's just off promotion. I come off the cuff. One time I was in like that show. What was your worst show? Because they said, you don't write things down, it's just off the motion.

I'll come out a couple. One time I was in Houston, Texas and I was doing this show and I was joning everybody out and this dude came up and joned me and he was funny. His buddy said,

man, go up there, go up there. You know how you would go up there and jone him? He said, I look like a pickle jar. You know? And I started laying like,

damn, that's funny, bro. I said, I'm going to keep that. You know what I'm saying? He said, I look like a pickle jar. I'm like, oh my God, that's funny. bro. I said, I'm going to keep that. You know what I'm saying? It's going to be like a pickle job. I'm like, oh, my God, that's funny. But the crowd loved it because I took it so well.

I didn't go off. You know, it was really funny when he said it. And the best show I ever did was years and years and years ago is when Bernie Mac was red hot. Bernie Mac was super hot. And it's a part of Georgia called Macon, Georgia. And it's about an hour from Atlanta. And was performing had a 5,000 seater and the feature didn't show up the guy say hey man my feature didn't show can you come down and open up for Bernie Mac I said yes you know I had been in the game

there about five years yes and I drove down there quick as I could and I was on stage and I could remember Bernie Mac had his arm folded looking at me he said who's that dude right there? I said, it's Bruce. He said, he is funny. But Bernie went up and ripped it. And I worked with Bernie twice in my whole entire life. Macon and then I worked with him in Columbia, South Carolina one time.

803. That's it. But Bernie was a bad dude, man. And people don't realize when he did I'm Not Scared of You on Def Jam, he made that up right then. Because everybody was coming up. They was having a hard time here in New York. Def Jam, they was getting it to them.

You know, New York, they don't hold no punches, you know. And Bernie said, man, I ain't scared of no mother. And he went up and did it. Him and Capri went together on it, and he ripped it, man. Bernie was a bad dude. Was that the funniest comedian you ever worked with? No, man. I know some funny comedians now.

Like Tony Robbins is stupid funny. Tony makes me laugh. You know who Tony Robbins is? Of course. Oh, my God. Tony Robbins told me he used to date a girl. Her breath was so bad, it smelled like a horse's hiccups. Damn.

Who think of that? Who think of a horse's hiccups? You know what I'm saying? He makes me laugh. Mike Epps. Mike Epps is one of the dudes I trained back in the day. Mike used to be on the road with me. Mike moved from Indiana to Atlanta.

I used to take him on the road with me, and then he moved to New York. And he called me one day and said, man, they want me to audition for Fridays. I said, what you waiting on? I said, looking for somebody like you. And he called me a week later and said, I got the part. I said, you're on your way, Dede. That's my man. Now, we've seen Cat Williams pulled out his chopper a couple of months ago.

He did, man. He was firing at everybody. What was your thoughts? Because, you know, a lot of that stuff was inside that became outside conversations. I think Cat just told how he felt, man, and what's been going on in his life for real. And he just got fed up with it. You know, when people dog you out, let's just say this. I used to tell people I had a club in Atlanta.

It's called Club 559. And I used to tell my securities, I said I said listen when you have an altercation with a guy be careful because they don't forget you you don't be forgot about them so if you throw him out the club throw him on the head and maybe like I'm not gonna forget that they won't forget you that's right but you be I forgot who that was and you go store with your woman shopping he run up on you you remember me you like no you have to go to the store with your woman shopping he run up on you you remember me you're like no

you have to be careful so Cat just went through some things stuff that he never forgot that was done to him and he's coming back retaliating and he just told it

like it was I mean there's a lot of different things you can take from that conversation but the thing I took from it that I appreciated it felt like it put

black comedy in a new life yeah like people started paying attention to the OG's like yourself Tony Robbins like they I don't know I just felt like it put black comedy in a new life. Yeah. Like people started paying attention to the OGs like yourself. Tony Robbins. I don't know.

I just felt like it just shined, earthquake, it shined a light on the people who've been doing it. And people got to understand something about Cat Williams. Cat Williams is not a dummy. He is very smart. He's very smart. I don't know if y'all remember when he had an altercation in Atlanta with Wanda Smith.

If you ever noticed, if you ever noticed, he never lost his composure. He stood there and drunk his coffee, and he was killing her the whole time. And he's just cool like that. He's very smart. He's a smart guy. How did you feel about all these artists mentioning you in their songs?

I love it. Were you ever surprised that you heard before when you heard, let Bruce Bruce hit it? Oh, my God. I just hate when dudes say it. You know what I'm saying? Like, I've been, let Bruce Bruce hit it. Bro, bro God. I just hate when dudes say it. You know what I'm saying? Like, I've been, like, let Bruce hit it. Bro, bro, you shouldn't be saying that.

Your girl should say it, but not me. Not you, bro. Come on. You said that on the text this morning. Oh, my God. Did he? Because our producer was like, man, Bruce Bruce is already here. We were on the way in. Yeah.

And so he goes, well, entertain him, then. Let Bruce Bruce hit it. I was joking. It was a joke. I forgive you. That's what he said. I forgive you. That's inside stuff, man.

I just thought it was stupid. Yeah, but he, you know, he did. I forgive you. That's inside stuff, man. I just thought it was stupid. I felt he felt we cool, so he just told me. And our producer told him that he was going to HR. I'm going to HR. It's going to be so easy. I breathe a lot. Why did you do that?

Why did you do that? And Biggie mentioned you and Hypnotize. Yeah. When was the first time you heard? Did you have a relationship with him? What happened, I was in Jacksonville, Florida. I'll never forget this. And I wanted to meet him so bad because I was a fan of Biggie, you know. Man, he came in and I was on stage clowning.

I was jolting people. I mean, I asked the dude, I said, that shirt's silk. I said, is it silk or you iron it too much? You know, something like that. He walked in, he said, just do this for me. Because if you ever really pay attention to Biggie, he didn't really smile that much. You know what I'm saying? He just always had that look, this nonchalant look.

He smiled on the video when he was on the boat. Remember, he was on the boat and he started smiling. He said, I'm going to put you down for real. And when I heard it, I'm like, what? What was the Bruce Bruce like? People were debating whether he. Yeah, well, didn't he say that? Yeah.

What was the line? It was like, Bruce Bruce who? Do something to us. Talk goes to us. Girls do us. Want to screw us. Who? Me, Poppy, did he say that? Yeah. What was the line? It was like, Bruce, Bruce, who? Do something to us. Talk goes to us. Girls do us. Want to screw us. Who? Me, Poppy, and Puff.

It was just love. He showed me. He was a cool guy, man. And I actually saw him smile and laugh because I never saw him smile. He just always had this, like, hard look. Like, you know, he read the fight, but he was really funny. He was fun to be around. So he told you he was going to put you on?

Yeah. Okay, so that's how you know it was. Yeah. I listened to it over and over. I just kept going back. I just kept repeating it. Listened to it over and over. And that was love.

That was real love. All right, we got more with Bruce Bruce when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. We are The Breakfast Club. Comedian Bruce Bruce is still here.

Charlamagne? Now, out of Def Comedy Jam, Showtime at the Apollo, and Comic View, which one had the most impact on you? Comic View. Def Jam first. Def Jam was the starting. Come on now, we got to give it to Russell Simmons. I mean, big up for him. Def Jam was good, but when I did Comic View, see, Comic View started out as coast to coast. I don't know if y'all remember that. They used to come out to your city and come to a club and film you and then take it back. And D.L. was the host there. And he's like, look, went all the way down to Atlanta at a club called the Comedy Act Theater. And we seen this guy, Bruce Bruce, and they showed me.

And I did the Coast to Coast when they first started. But I never forget the year that I host. It was probably the best year for me that i have ever experienced in my life they went from 10 000 10 million viewers to 20 million viewers when i host and it was great for me it was good i made some money they gave me money for wardrobe that's why i dressed in all them suits because i thought i was a pimp you know i'm saying i thought i was a straight up pimp why do you help so many comedians comedians talk about that you've helped so many comedians in their in, in their life.

What gives you the energy? Because a lot of people be like, I ain't helping him because he might get bigger than me. But you talked about so many comedians you've helped. Oh, my God, yeah. But so many helped me. I never forget when I first, when I was in the Comedy Act 8 in Atlanta, and John Witherspoon came to Atlanta. And he looked at me. He say, you got it.

He say, you really got it. He say, I like you. So he started telling me what to do and what not to you really got it he say i like you so he started telling me what to do and what not to do and he helped me took me in front of his wing ronaldo ray did the same thing he helped me on bet when i he was my co-host people don't realize that ronaldo ray was a college professor before he started doing comedy he was extremely smart and he would tell me sometimes he said turn your body to the right a little bit when you tell that joke it'll work better and I'm like how's that gonna work better and it worked better and then the last of the Mohicans who really told me say you won't have to find her and they will find you his name was Paul

Mooney Wow the legend Paul Mooney he told me that Rodney Winfield y'all remember Rodney Winfield mm--hmm. That my man took me and he said, a lot of these jugglers don't like you just because you're funny. He said, keep being funny. You're going to be all right.

He used to call me and do shows with him. You know, back in the day, man, somebody say, man, we got a show

paying $300. I'm like, let's go. You know, these new kids now, he say, man, I got a show for you.

How much they paying? Hold it, player. Hold it. You ain't been seeing Walking By TV, much less on TV. So what is you talking about how much they paying? If I tell I got a show for you. How much they paying? Hold it, player. Hold it. You ain't been seeing Walking By TV, much less on TV. So what is you talking about how much they paying?

If I tell you about a show, I'm going to make sure you get paid. Just that simple. You think social media helped to hurt comedy? Oh, it helped it. Charlamagne and I wish I had social media 35 years ago. Only thing we had was go in the city early, do radio, try to do TV to get people in there. Social media is a platform that really helped a lot of young comedians. Now, now, veteran comedians like myself, they get pissed because all the new young comedians are coming up faster. I've been doing comedy for 25 years, 30 years, and he ain't been doing comedy for three months.

I tell them like this, if you can't beat them, show them. And they're winning. So you might as well follow in the footsteps. They are winning.

But that's why them young comedians feel like, that's why they're asking how much. Right. Because they're following on social media.

Yeah, but then the only thing about it, Charlamagne, is when they do get booked, only thing they got to say is what they did on social media.

That's right. You got to bring out more than that. That's right. You know, you got that seven minutes you got, oh, it's fine. But what about the out more than that. That's right. You know, you got that seven minutes you got, oh, it's fine.

But what about the other 20 minutes they need you to do? You can tell when a person is bombing because they start talking real positive. You know,

we need to take care of these kids, man. You know, hey man, support these women, man. Hey man, these women need to support. They need to respect.

They bombing like hell. Yeah. They trying to get positive. That's his favorite part of a comedy show. You know what it is? I like to see somebody try to dig themselves out of a hole when're bombing like hell. Yeah. They're trying to get positive. That's his favorite part of a comedy show. You know what it is? I like to see somebody try to dig themselves out of a hole when they bomb. Oh, my God.

If you see me laughing really hard, it's probably because you up there stinking. I remember seeing you because I watch you guys all the time. I remember seeing you on Ridiculousness, right? Chanel West Coast. You made her so mad. You was coming. You said, I never seen you on anything. I never seen you rap.

I rap with Snoop. She got pissed. They went to commercial. Yes was calm. You said, I've never seen you on anything. I've never seen you rap. I rap with Snoop. She got pissed. They went to commercial. I think it happened twice. Am I right? No, it was the one time. But do she rap? Yeah, I think she did. I didn't know it, but I looked at you and I'm like, oh my God, she's pissed. She got pissed.

She moved that hair back. They went to commercial. She came back. She was more calm back. They said, commercial. Commercial. And she came back. She was more calm. Yeah, we're back here. Charlamagne-a pissed her off. He said, I never seen you on nothing. I never seen you with Snoop.

I never seen you in Too Short. I never seen you. She was pissed. I laughed so hard at that. That was so good. How big of a deal is it now for a comedian to have a special? Does it even matter? Well, you know, it's funny you said that, man.

Specials are good. I just got signed for a Netflix special. Does it even matter? Well, you know, it's funny you said that, man. Specials are good. I just got signed for a Netflix special. Okay. And the reason I just took it, I wasn't going to do it. I was going to do it myself. Like,

make them buy. You know what I'm saying? But they offered it to me. We're going to do it. We're going to do it, I think, around August. Just shoot it in Atlanta? No.

No, no, no, no. We're going to go somewhere else. I want to go somewhere where somebody think I'm a superstar. You know what I'm saying? In Atlanta? No, I'm just, no. We're going to go somewhere else. I want to go somewhere where somebody think I'm a superstar. You know what I'm saying? In Atlanta. No, I'm just average.

What's up, Bruce? What's happening, man? You see me in the grocery store. Bruce, what's happening? But I go somewhere like Chicago or Texas. Oh, my God. That's where I want to go.

In Atlanta, it's my city. I love it. I still live there. And I had a place in L.A. for like 30 years. L.A. is just L.A. They make you pay for the weather.

You know what i mean everything is just so high it's just ridiculous it is i've got a couple more questions you know there's a stigma about black comedians wearing dresses to be funny or having to wear a dress to get to that next level what's your thoughts on that well you know i'm gonna be honest with you man i did i didn't it's funny you said that i did a tv show that i take one time never came out it's called bruce bruce bounty hunters i was a bounty hunter i played a bounty hunter i played a preacher It's funny you said that. I did a TV show that I take one time. Never came out. It's called Bruce Bruce Bounty Hunters. I was a bounty hunter. I played a bounty hunter.

I played a preacher called Reverend Get Money. It was Reverend Get Money. And I played a mother named Mother Marshall, which was crazy. But Mother Marshall was a real lady in my church that I mimic. I copied off her. And I also played, I did it in Indianapolis. And I did not feel comfortable in that dress you know what i'm saying at all and some people could do it some people if it worked for you it do it flip wilson did it when

he did geraldine you know because flip wilson show was a variety show which i love because it wasn't a black show was a show for everybody and that's what people got to understand but if they want to dress up in a dress do your thing you know but, but it's not my thing Tyler Perry made it big He he's one of the best but to me I love Tyler Perry, but Joe is funny than Tyler Perry Then my dear no when he plays Joe Joe Joe is funny. Yep. Joe have oxygen tank. Yep, and smoke smoking weed Coughing and I say, thank you Jesus Jesus. You know what I'm saying? So when he plays Joe, Joe is the funniest dude.

That's just me. I love my dear. I think you had a lot with Joe, too. Yeah, I love my dear. But Joe. Joe's funny, dude. Oh, my God. Joe is funny.

And see, back then, when we used to see people in their dresses, I even see, like, when they used to do men on film on A Living Color, it was just funny. Yeah, it was funny. I never thought nothing of it. Men on film was the thing. Remember when they talked about Mby dick moby dick that gets two snaps and a kiss and a roundabout yeah the twist yeah why do you have to say your name twice i do because my mommy's called me twice my mama said if i call you the times you're gonna die today and my mother was a little woman

about 140 i mean she was just but loving and knew how to make her way out of no way most mothers do that's why it's always good when you do get successful and you start making money make sure you take care of your mom and one thing you got realize, it don't take much like you think it does. That's right. People think like, well, I got to do it. No, your mom don't want that much. She just want to make sure she's okay, she's comfortable, and she got a little money. My mother, the last 20 years of her life, I made sure she was straight.

Didn't pay no bills, nothing. But it didn't take much. But then when your family members found out about it, they started trying to use you, too. You know, my mom going through something. Well, that's your mother. This one is mine. That's real. Well, there you have it.

It's Bruce Bruce. Yeah, we've been trying to get Bruce Bruce up here for a minute, man. Because, you know, I've always just respected you as a comedy legend, man. That's right.
