We appreciate you. Hello, who's this? Renee. Who else you leaving now that you shouldn't have been at? How about you need to stop doing this? I was actually being good this weekend. What I need to get off my chest, I have to ask everyone on the morning crew.

Is there anything wrong with being friends with your ex? No. I don't think so. Well, I got to know about what the situation is now. No, no, no. Are you in a relationship now? Are you married? No, no, no, no.

Happily single, trying to work on myself. Okay. I have been friends with my ex. We were together for 10 years. We have kids involved, so we continue to still be friends. His new girlfriend decided to go through his cell phone and get upset because we are still friends. Well, what did she see in there?

Like, when you say friends, what kind of messages? I messaged him like, hey, how you doing? How's the kids doing? You know, it was nice talking to you the other day. Or, hey, you know, because our kids are going to college, you know, we got seniors, you know. And, hey, if baby girl needs anything for college, you know, have her call me. Okay, so nothing weird, like, I love you, I miss you? No, no.

Heck no, it's better to be single and just friends because I couldn't stand him as a boyfriend. Right. You don't even want him back. And you're better off as friends. Well, it's really not your problem. He's got to handle that then. As long as you're not doing anything that's out of bounds

and y'all got kids together, you know, he's going to have to handle that, not you. Man, stop texting that woman, boyfriend. Okay, listen, like I told her before, you are a placeholder for me. Now the truth comes out. Stop texting that woman, boyfriend.

Now the truth comes out. That's why she don't like you. No, she doesn't like me because of the simple fact that no, we don't have any biological kids together, but if you've been life for ten years, you know, ma'am ma'am lead that woman boyfriend alone ma'am You didn't say you told her that Okay, well see listen, you know You know what, Angela? I cannot wait for you to get your own show because you bring out everything.

But see, the men, they always go side with the men and stuff. I'm not side with the men. I'm just telling you that I can hear it. As soon as you told the story, I'm like, it's simple. Leave that woman boyfriend alone because you wouldn't want nobody doing that to your boyfriend. Yeah, you didn't tell us that you said I could have him anytime I want him. You a

placeholder for me. I can hear it. I can hear it in her voice. No. No, listen. I can be a petty person, but the thing is, legitimately, we have kids. I've been in his kid's life for 10 years. I definitely don't want you texting my boyfriend now that I heard you on The Breakfast Club and heard what you're really about, okay? Leave Chalamet's boyfriend alone.

Leave Chalamet's boyfriend alone. Leave that woman's boyfriend alone. Leave Chalamet's boyfriend alone. Leave that woman's boyfriend alone. Y'all have a blessed day. Did she hung up on us? Yeah, because you're telling her the truth. Nobody want to hear the truth. You want to give her some BS, generic nothing, then she'll take that.

But when you tell them the truth, she want to run. I wish somebody would speak to me like that about my boyfriend and I'd be okay with it. What? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club

Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. I'm not used to seeing him like this either. He got record label people with him. Like me. I'm like, I don't want to do it with him. He's drinking wine. Gotta level up, man.

Pretty good, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome, brother. How you feeling? Feeling great. Feeling real good, man. Freddie Gibbs, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome, brother. How you feeling? Feeling great. Feeling real good, man. So, so separately out right now? Yes, sir. This is your first solo major label deal?

That's it? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. It's my first major album that I put out, period. What made you decide to do that now? Lambo, my manager, really, to be honest. It was supposed to happen before.

Yeah, and my partner, Norvay. You know what I'm saying? He's been trying to sign me to a major for a long time, man. So it just worked out perfect this time. It was just a good business move. What can they do for you that you weren't already doing for yourself? You've already been nominated for Grammys. I mean, it looked good, you know what I'm saying?

You see it. You noticed the change when I walked in. So, I mean, it's definitely extras on everything we're doing right now. You know what I mean? Like, you know, we got a, I got a record added at radio. I ain't never been that. I ain't never had none of that. You know, top 20 Billboard release.

I ain't never had that. So, you know, there's definitely changes been made. And sometimes it's nice not to have to do everything yourself. That too. And pay for everything yourself. That too. It's always good To eat on they dollars Absolutely

For sure You got a lot going on Freddie Because by the way I think the album Is pretty amazing Thank you I appreciate that

Your music is never in question People know you make good music Yeah But it's everything else That comes with it Is probably what they Question They don't question

They just have questions about But sometimes That comes with being Like very honest. You know, a lot of times people censor themselves about things that they might say. I mean, you know what? And you haven't really. I mean, you know, I'm from a small town, man.

You know what I mean? So it's like, you know, it ain't hard to beef with me. You know what I mean? So I feel like, you know, a lot of people take offense to, you know, stuff I say and things I do. But, you know, you got to do something about it. You got to deal with me. Y'all going to feel me until they kill me. So it is what it is.

I ain't tripping on that. So why is the joke so? Because people, you know. I'm a comedian, man. I don't mind the jokes. The jokes ain't shit. The jokes ain't nothing. The jokes is light.

It's the violence. The jokes ain't nothing. I don't initiate the violence. I just do what a man would do and just handle himself in certain occasions. I ain't never initiated no violence on no rapper. And, you know, if I did, you wouldn't know about it. You know what I'm saying? Like, I didn't have problems with people.

You know what I'm saying? And it went way too deep. Right. You know, but I don't need to, you know. Publicize it. Yeah, I don't need to publicize it. I think that, like, a lot of these guys that had issues with me, you know, they come in the fight with camera crews.

We in the clout era, so it's like they thought it was a free pick, so they just want to do what they got to do to get their clout up, but I don't got to do nothing like that to get no clout up, because like you said, the music speaks for itself, my brother. We leave street stuff in the streets.

Get into that. You said something on NABNOW that was interesting, and I never thought about it, but you said you make people feel good about coming from Gary, Indiana. Yes, sir. And I was like, well, damn, I never thought about what impact did the Jacksons have on young black kids coming from Gary.

I don't know. I mean, you know, it was definitely motivation to see the biggest musical family come from right around the corner where you're from. But, you know, it wasn't really like a direct, you know, tangible impact. You know what I mean? But it's hard, man. You know what I mean?

Like, Gary's a tough place to be from. You know what I mean? And I don't go back enough. You know what I mean? Because I got stuff that I got going on and I'm trying to pursue. So I feel like I'm in a position now where I could go back and make changes. But I wasn't in the beginning of my career. I was still trying to get to where I needed to be.

I can see how you're more relatable than a Jackson is what I'm saying. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Ernie don't even like that, right? He didn't like the fact that people would say, you know, from the same place as Jackson is. Yeah, because you said that at the XXL show. I remember that.

I was mad. That's what made me not like you. You know that because I didn't like you for a long time. I didn't like you. Wait, y'all didn't like each other over that? What is that? I did not know this. I've never heard you say that in my life time. I didn't like you. Wait, y'all didn't like each other over that? This is so true. I did not know this. I've never heard you say that in my life.

I'm going to tell you. So it wasn't actually XXL. It was MTV. Was it MTV? So when we had the show on MTV, you know how MTV writes the scripts. So in the teleprompter, it says, from Gary, Indiana, the same home of the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson, Freddie Gibbs. No, no.

Don't do it, Envy. What was it? Don't do it, Envy. What was it? Don't do it, Envy. They wrote it out. What was it? They wrote it out. And that's the way it was read. That's the way it was written.

But you ain't say it like that. What'd he say? You said, like, Gary, you're the head of the home. He was cloudy. I can imagine. I believe you, Freddie. I know this. I believe you.

That sounds like Envy. I believe you. So I took offense to that, but, you know, we cool. Yeah. This is like 15 years. So why you don't like him? Because you messed up. I didn't mess up. I took offense to that, but we cool. This is like 15 years. Why you don't like him because you messed up? I didn't mess up. I said it the right way.

I ain't f***ing from Gary, Indiana. He said something. I know he didn't say that. You just lied on him. I know he didn't say that. I know Freddie ain't said that. He doesn't say he from Gary, Indiana. I'm not from the...

What did you say? I said it's light-skinned ass s***. Word. That's what I said. Damn. That's what I said. I. That's what I said. I said, it's trippy, man.

So is this the first time y'all made up? No. No, I've been on show three times. By the way, over a span of 13 years. That's why I'm shocked

I've never heard you say it. I've never heard it. I've never heard that. I got big love and respect for him. Even when he didn't like me, I still like him. We spoke after that.

It was a long time ago. It was like 14 years ago. This is the silliest beef I ever heard. All his beefs are silly as shit. I just didn't like something he said. Can I have my opinion not to like something? I got beef with everybody, man. Envy's very sensitive. Would you consider yourself sensitive?

No, Envy likes getting married. He got a right to be sensitive. That's right. He's a stereotype. He's a walking beige stereotype. That's all it is. As soon as I walked in, I said, my light-skinned brother. That's right. That's my brother. I haven't seen you before that.

We do this more than that. We always speak. We always talk. Along these lines, I do want to talk about some things you did say on the album, right? Okay. So, you and Jeezy, you talked about your own immaturity in that situation. Correct. So, what made you come to that realization? Because this was something

that for years you've had you know kind of a chip on your shoulder about it but now you're like you know what i wasn't sure i wasn't ready you even said you've listened back to some of those old songs yeah and so what on rapid vision yeah i was just ready to just get past that in my career you know what i mean like i didn't really you know me and me and me and uh gz ain't never had no like physical stuff or anything of that nature. So it was just like, I can move past that. That was just a business disagreement. Did y'all have a conversation?

Because you said some wild stuff about Jeezy back in the day. Nah, we didn't have a real conversation. But we seen each other. And sometimes just a handshake is worth a thousand words. We shook each other's hand. He was with his wife. I was with my girl. And we just kept it pushing.

We was in the airport. But I mean, the conversation can be had. But I don't even think if we need to. Y' with his wife. I was with my girl and we just kept it pushing. We was in the airport. But I mean, the conversation can be had but I don't even think if we need to, then cool. Yeah, yeah. I don't have nothing against none of that.

You know what I mean? Like that situation definitely made me stronger and made me a better artist. So, you know, I pay homage to the dude. Even when we wasn't, when I wasn't with him,

I was still bumping trap and dag. Like I said, I was still listening to the music. But it made you a boss. Yeah, definitely. But I had to, you know, I had to level up, man. He said, I remember one time I had a conversation with him in an interview, and he said that you were upset because things didn't work out for you as an artist with him.

Correct, correct. Like I said, it was just a bad business disagreement. But I took it too far and made it personal. And that's why I messed up it. You know what I'm saying? But I did that really to show younger artists under me that you ain't no gangster unless you can keep your composure. And in that situation, I didn't keep my composure. And I let my emotions spill all over the place.

And I shouldn't have did that. All right, we got more with Freddie Gibbs when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with

celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire,

join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined

moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like, grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

And it began with me.

Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, James Brown, B.B. King, Miriam Akiba. I shook up the world. James Brown said, say it loud. And the kid said, I'm black and I'm proud.

Black boxing stars and black music royalty together in the heart of Zaire, Africa. Three days of music and then the boxing event. What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important that anything else is going on on the planet. My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation. The 60s and prior to that, you couldn't call a person black. And how we arrived at this peak moment. I don't have to be what you want me to be.

But, you know, those times make you stronger, you know, as a family and everything. You was on Bucks down a lot. Got a lot of kids. I ain't going for Nick Cannon record, but... I'll get three, man.

Just three, just three. Nick Cannon got like 12 kids, man. One day your children's mothers got really mad at you after this album came out because you named her... Oh, it'd be like that, you know. People just get frustrated, you know. It'd be like that. You know, that was a time.

But, you know, I spoke to her about it before it came out and everything. It was a decent conversation. And she didn't get mad after it came out. Yeah, because the way you explained it probably is not the way it came out and everything. It was a decent conversation. And she didn't get mad at it after it came out. Yeah, because the way you explained it probably is not the way it came out on the record. No, not at all. I said it word for word, I think. And she wasn't upset at all?

It was what it is, man. My baby mommas love me. I love them, man. It's all about raising kids. It probably hit different when the album come out. It hit different when the album come out and everybody listens to it. They hitting you. Yeah, they hitting her.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it is, man. Because you did say you're about to squeeze academic's titties. I love a fat bitch. Yeah. Where did that, why? You got to explain that segue.

We were just talking about his talk and about Raiden and all of the stuff. I need to know your thought process for that segue. I see why you don't like him. I need to know your thought process for that segue, bro.

You talk about lines that you got to explain. You said, I love a fat bitch. I do. And then you talk about academic titties. Did you just call his baby mama fat? No. No, no, no. I mean, my love a fat bitch, and then you talk about academic cities. Did you just call his baby mama fat? No, no, no. My baby mama's not fat.

I don't understand the segway. I said you talk about lines that he has to re-talk about. I do like fat bitches, though. That's my thing. I do. I just blew a kiss to Lizzo, but she didn't look at me. Where did you blow a kiss at? I seen her somewhere.

And then I seen a picture on the wall that I went in serious. And I was like, man, I want to meet Lizzo one day. Everybody giving Lizzo a hard time. I need to leave her alone alone you ain't met lizzo yet nah i saw her before and i was like hey if she just looked at my mouth i get your ass out there what's what's you and academics y'all just never gonna squash whatever y'all back and forth we can man it ain't nothing like that you look man academics is a person that i only see when i pick up my phone you know i'm saying like to me it ain't even like real you what I mean? It's like some internet troll thing. You know what I mean?

But I've probably only seen him in person, like, one time. But, yeah, I'm a sensible guy, man. I ain't stupid. Like, we could have a conversation. You know what I mean? No matter what you said. You know, as long as you don't

put your hands on me, anything's fixable. I didn't even see it, but I saw something yesterday. Somebody sent me something. I don't know where it started, but he was like, you only, what he said,

you got beat up twice this year. You only sold half your records or something like that. Nobody checking for you. Leave Big Ack alone. That's all cap, though. So, I mean, you know, that's all cap. I mean, that's what academics do. Like I said, man, I got to pick up my phone to see academics.

I don't see him out here. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, he going to push the narrative, you know, to his favor at all times. And he don't like me, so what am I supposed to do? You know what I mean? Like, if somebody don't like you, you know, they ain't push the narrative uh you know to his favor at all times and he don't like me so i'm supposed to do you know what i mean like somebody don't like you you know they ain't gonna say nothing nice about you right no they ain't gonna say the truth about you so he can keep you know spreading the falsehoods i mean he said my brother was a district attorney my brother's a gynecologist you know what i'm saying like the top gynecologist in condo you know

i'm like what are you talking about? So it's like, you know, he going to spread his own narrative. You know what I mean? He's like, man, your brother's a district attorney. He's a feds. I'm like, no. My brother's the top guy in the college. I'm like, my brother has a PhD, my brother. You know what I'm saying?

So it's like, I don't. How did you use that one? Yeah, I don't feel. That's why I don't feel no way about nothing that he say. I just be like, all right, man. Okay, cool. Would you ever do his show? Would you ever do his podcast? I would. If he asked me to come on there, I'd go. I'd do it. I think that'd be a good one. I just be like, all right, man. Okay, cool. Would you ever do his show? Would you ever do his podcast?

I would. If he asked me to come on there, I'd do it. Yeah, we got to hit for five minutes and then we can go do whatever we have to. We go five minutes first and then? Yeah, we go five minutes, then we can go we can do whatever we need to do. I never could understand how somebody could not like Freddie Gibbs. I mean, I get people get sensitive, though, if you say something

about them, so I understand that part of it. It's always his jokes. But you do have jokes. have jokes yeah and i'm gonna be honest i don't know where none of this started freddie i don't know what it is with benny started i don't know what it is with jim started i have no idea how any of this started i even saw benny recently saying that it just went too far what happened with jim like you always in new york y'all ran by each other millions of times like that was weird i thought i'm still in New York, despite whoever got an issue with me. You know, I think I'm about to get me a crib out here, too. So, you know, I don't really, you know.

Where did the issue start from? Jokes? Was it the jokes? I don't know, man. I let street shit stay in the streets. And, you know, I don't got no problem with nobody that's like, you know, doing better than me. So, it's okay. I don't really worry about that.

I let all the hate come from the bottom and just, you know, deal how it come with you know it is what it is but people know who i am and what and who i'm with so did y'all really get into a tussle in miami uh it was some stuff furniture moving it was some furniture moving but like ain't nobody really get uh it was just it was like a food fight or something like that it wasn't nothing it wasn't crazy that's an expensive food fight in that restaurant yeah it wasn't it wasn't nothing crazy. That's an expensive food fight in that restaurant. Yeah, it wasn't nothing crazy like that. Ain't nobody get, like, you know, f***ed up to that point.

You know, it ain't nothing that, you know, people can't move past. We were on there. You feel like any of that overshadowed your artistry? Nah, not at all. It just made y'all

talk about me more. And my music is good, so it don't even matter. Like, you're still getting all the great guest appearances. You know who I loved on the album? Raekwon.

Yeah. That's a great one. That's one of my favorite songs. That one and Rabbit Vision. To get guys like Raekwon, Scarface. How you convince Scarface to get back rapping? That's my dog. Me and Scarface real close. And that ain't the first collab we did.

He collabed with me on Pinata. So it's like, you know, I look up to him. I got a great relationship with guys like him and Bun B. It was was like some of the first you know big name features that i did coming in so it's like they kind of they sharpened me up you know i mean so i i'm always gonna pay homage to brad you know and dj paul man that was crazy that was a crazy studio session i love dj paul you know what i'm saying like that was uh because when i was telling somebody it's like when i was recording the album i was in a real dark space.

And that session really, like, brightened everything up. When he came in, he was just, like, happy and, like, the song was fun. And it was just like, damn, you know what I'm saying? Because, like you said, I was going through a lot of stuff. Getting in fights, getting into it. You know, I had street stuff going on. Homies getting killed. You know what I'm saying?

Like, legal stuff, you know. And I was putting all of that into the record. And then when DJ Paul came in, he really cheered me up, man. He really lifted my spirits to help me finish the album, you know what I'm saying, in the correct fashion. Is that how you get out of the dark space? Is it through music? Definitely.

Music is therapeutic for me. Like I don't really, you know, I hear you talk about therapy all the time, but I don't really like therapy like that. You tried it, right? Yeah, I tried it. I didn't really like it, man. My therapist was cute, too, but I don't really like therapy. You tried it, right? You said it. I tried it. I didn't really like it, man. My therapist was cute too,

so I couldn't get past it. You flirting though. She's trying to get in your mind and you flirting. But I don't like talking to dudes, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, you know,

I was like, all right, man, let me get out this therapy and just go make another album. But there's other ways to heal though. Like therapy is not the only way. True, true, true. I might do like I did in the movie

and just take a hiatus. Go on a farm. Yeah, go on a farm, you know what I'm saying? Just a hiatus yeah go on the farm you know i'm saying just you know switching up the environment man rap get you know it get kind of redundant sometimes so you gotta like you know find other inspiration so you can like keep keep doing it i've been doing it for a long time it's the breakfast club good morning it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club talk about it morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us we're talking musty stories all right you've

And I smelled myself during the interview. I ran in the back and I even tried to put deodorant over the funky. It didn't work. So that's why with that picture, I kind of took a picture and I left. I got out of Dodge because I didn't wonder why they smelled me. So I've been there before. What about you guys? I don't really get musty too much. You know what I'm saying?

Ayana, I love you. My birthday is June 29th. Hey, Cancer Gang. Now stop working up a sweat now. Stop working up a sweat with that natural crystal rock deodorant you got on. We can spell you. I know, but Charlamagne, I do want to say, first of all, I love you guys. I haven't called for years.

And Charlamagne, I do want to shout out for the mental health. I had a topic one time about I'm a corrections officer. I work in the prison, but now I'm a nurse in corrections. So I know about mental health and the corrections system. So I would love to have a conversation with you.

But anyway, so the incident was me and this guy, we had one out. And every time I go out, I get really, really nervous and I start sweating. So we went to a restaurant and I had smelled something when the waiter had walked by.

And I was like, hmm. And then he was like, why did you make that face? I was like, I thought I'd do this. He must be like, you know, when you first get musty, when you hit puberty. And he was like, oh, OK. So we're talking to stuff and we have our fun. We eat and stuff. We get ready to leave.

I still smell the must. And then I'm like, well, maybe it wasn't the waitress. we have our fun. We eat and stuff. We get ready to leave. I still smell the mud. And then I'm like, well, maybe it wasn't the wages. Maybe it's the dude that I'm with. So as I'm walking off to myself, as I'm talking to myself, and then I had walked off, I had, you know, went to give him a hug. When I reached my arm around, I was like, wait a minute. Is that me? That wasn't me, but my armpit, I had the biggest sweat under my armpit.

And I hurry up and put it down. He was like, babe. He was like, I had the biggest sweat under my armpits, and I hurry up and put it down. He was like, babe. He was like, I smell that same smell that I smelled the other day. It was you. I said, I know. Maybe we brushed up against each other, but I thought you played a hurtful guy in my car and couldn't believe that it was me. Why are you just saying order a whole bunch of onions to throw them off a little bit? Oh, my gosh. I couldn't believe that it was me. Why you just ain't order a whole bunch of onions to throw them off a little bit?

Oh, my gosh. I couldn't believe it. I could not believe it. I smelled like when I first got musty. And that is that first oniony smell. And I couldn't believe it. Have you spoken to him since? No, we didn't last that long.

Because I was so embarrassed. So I sabotaged the relationship. Because I felt like I can't get over a guy on the first date of being musty because I'm going to look at you as always musty and I feel like I'm going to smell it. You know that's how he describes you.

When he run across you on social media, he be like, oh, that's old musty ass girl from that restaurant. Damn it, man. Musty girl from the restaurant. You know musty girl.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities

for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like, grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best.

Hey, everyone, this is Courtney Thorne-Smith, Laura Layton, and Daphne Zuniga. On July 8, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world.

Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you. Special guests from back in the day will be dropping by. You know who they are. Sydney, Allison, and Joe are back together on Still the Place with a trip down memory lane and back to Melrose Place. So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. All right. And it is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Thaagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got a special guest in the building that's right kelly price welcome thank you how you feeling you know what great happy to be alive i don't know you're from queens new york yeah far rockaway yeah

far rockaway yeah how the hell did you make it out of Far Rockaway, Queens? We got put out. We were homeless. Okay. Yeah. And, you know, kind of rolling around and landed. But my grandfather's church was on the South Side of Jamaica. So those were my stomping grounds.

I was between Far Rockaway and South Side of Jamaica. And so, yeah, all day long. Yeah. Your family got evicted? Yeah. Yeah. We were homeless a lot. Really? Yeah. Yeah. We were homeless a lot. Really? Yeah. I was homeless probably for the last time right before I turned 18. Wow. Times were crazy. My dad, um, he passed when I was nine right before my 10th birthday, but he had a substance abuse problem. And so, you know,

there was that. Um, and so my mother trying to raise three girls in this city and on welfare and, you know, all of it. Did you grow up in the church also? I did. My grandfather was my first pastor. And so we I feel like I was in church nine days a week. When you're homeless, right, what gives you the audacity to hope, the audacity to dream? I'm going to tell you something. And it sounds crazy crazy it was my faith it was this belief that as long as i do my part and i'm respectful about it god has to make it happen for me you know people whether whether you put it out like some people say what goes around comes around if you call it the universe whatever it is there are laws and principles in life period that. That if followed, they have to service you back.

It's so easy to be bitter in a situation like that. Yeah, no, no. I just wanted a better day. And then turning up pregnant at 18 years old, coming from this real sanctified family, I was like, okay, so now what you gonna do? Because you getting ready to have a baby. And at this point, I'm sleeping in the downstairs level of my grandparents house

I don't want to tell them that I'm pregnant so all of this is happening and the Mariah Carey gig happened like early in my pregnancy did the family push you away did they push you away because they're so into the church so about values did they say you know what we don't want you here no no I have to honestly say that as strict as that upbringing was, I have to say my grandparents, they weren't happy about it, but they embraced me. They didn't make me feel like I was dirty. They were transformative for me in that they were the catalyst to having me think another way about what I've been hearing in church. Your grandparents gave you something that you named your new album after. Grace. Yeah. Grace.

And I always say, you know, I was going to ask you when is the time that you needed grace but you answered it. Yeah, I've needed grace a lot in my life and we all do. Every time I've talked about this project, when people ask me, I say I think the problem is that we as humans, we really can do better about extending grace to other people. Yes, ma'am.

Most of the time we don't realize how important grace is until we need it for ourselves. I have a U-verse reading plan that's coming out, I think, in about two weeks on the subject of grace. And I broke the word down into an acronym. Grace is a gift. It's the gift of giving, responsibility, accountability of yourself, and to expect accountability of other people but with compassion and empathy i loved it that's real grace because at some point when you need it that's right that's what you're going to want why doesn't this air give more grace

you know cancel culture is the is the polar opposite of grace yes everybody's screaming cancel cancel cancel but you're not going to want to Yes. Everybody's screaming cancel, cancel, cancel. But you're not going to want to hear cancel when it's time to cancel you. That's right. So did you watch Versus? Because I know, obviously, IZ Brothers played a really important role in your career. So what did you think of the Versus? So I haven't seen it all the way through because I literally went to bed early.

So I started watching some of it. And I want to see the rest of it. So everybody was like, you got to pick one. You got to pick one. I'm like, but I love them both. Having to bed early. So I started watching some of it, and I want to see the rest of it. So everybody was like, you got to pick one. You got to pick one. I'm like, but I love them both. Having to pick one, of course I'm going to say Ronald Osley. Yeah, you're biased. You're a little biased.

I'm super biased. You can't ask me. Like, the dude, literally, when everybody was telling me I was too fat, too black, and too loud to make a record, he was like, you could be 1,200 pounds in blue. Who wouldn't buy that voice? I was like, tell that to everybody else in the business. Like like i'm the chick they hiding in the room with a microphone like yeah that's so hard because you were talking and you've spoken on this before how when you were about to get a record deal

they had an issue with your weight yeah they said you had to actually sat you down and told you you had to lose weight in order for them to be able to sign you. Was that with Def Jam? No, it was Jive. With a bunch of Jive-ass turkeys over there. They better believe it. They wait until signing day. We hadn't been negotiating for months. And I came into the city to sign that day, and they told me to stop by the offices before I went to my attorney to sign the report. And that was your first deal?

That was the first deal. And so I was choked up, but i was like you did not cry sitting in this i was sitting with the head of every department in the conference room and i said i just have one question who gets to say when it's enough so what did they say like in the meeting they would say hey we're gonna sign this deal but uh so we had been in negotiations the copy the execution copy was in my attorney's office at that time. I got a call from my lawyer saying, go by the Jive offices before you come to sign. They say they need to meet with you about something.

Best call I could have ever received. Because had I signed the paperwork first, I would have been locked into something and possibly sat on a shelf. Oh, so you turned the deal down? Yeah, I did. Oh, wow. I walked away. That's real faith right there. Oh, so you turned the deal down? Yeah, I did. Oh, wow. I walked away. That's real faith right there. Yeah, I walked away.

Now, was that after Mo Money Mo' problems? After all this stuff? That was right before it. How do they say that to you? I walk in, I sit down, and there's awkward silence. And so, you know,

I'm like, hey, hi, everybody. It's supposed to be a great day. I'm signing. Yeah, I'm all excited. I'm like, here's the team. The team's all here. Yeah, we're going to talk about, you know, I'm like, hey, hi, everybody. It's supposed to be a great day. I'm signing. Yeah, I'm all excited. I'm like, here's the team. The team's on here. Yeah, we're going to talk about, you know, yeah, we want to know who you want to work with. And you're like, okay.

And then awkward silence. And so Jeff Finster is his name. Jeff Finster. I'm glad you called names. I remember that name. Listen, I'm 48 and I've been doing this for 30 years. That's right. I've earned the right to call names.

That's right. That's right. Says, you know, why don't we just go ahead and say it? It's, you know, let's just say it. And I'm like, say what? He says, listen, we're going to need you to lose a significant amount of weight before we put this record out. So my eyes, I'm like a deer in headlights in this moment.

And so I say, hmm, okay. How much weight? Like, do you want me Whitney Houston thin? Do you want me? Because like, I come from a family where the women are, you know, whether they're bigger or smaller, they're still, they're thick.

Who gets to decide how much is enough? And no one knew. And nobody knew. And I said, okay, well, then the question is, if I get to a place where I'm feeling okay about it and you don't what happens to the record and the answer was we don't know well we see what happened to Jeff instance oh well he was he went over to another label allegedly he was let go because of sexual misconduct with a former employee

hmm Wow it felt like you know when I was doing mixtapes everybody knew your name because you had vocals You were singing over everything, but it felt like the world was hiding you didn't want to see you even him no more money More problems with you like the little screen How did that feel cuz it you knew you could sing. You knew you could out-sing most of the people that were out there, but it felt like everybody didn't want to show you. You know what was interesting? I was just grateful I was asked to be in the video

because other people weren't putting me in the video. I've been Martha Washed. And when I say that, I mean having written for people and then I would go demo the record. The artist is supposed to go in and sing their own music. I can remember riding down the street and hearing the song start and I'm like, oh, it's out, but I'm hearing me. And I'm like, wow.

You said Marfa Walsh. As in like they, sometimes the labels would leave my vocals on, but it was their artist. And they wouldn't show. Is that somebody that happened to? So now what happened with you? You're driving down, you're hearing a song on the radio, and then all of a sudden you're like, yo, this is my voice. Yeah, I was shocked.

Sometimes they would come back and say, well, we want to keep your background vocals. That was common. But to hear the record and to hear that in the verses, I'm hearing my voice laced in between, like, and I can hear the punches. My ear is fine-tuned. And you know what I mean when I say I can hear the punches. My ear is fine-tuned. And you know what I mean when I say I can hear where the engineer punched me in and then popped her back in.

Who'd that happen with? Tasha Holiday. And she wouldn't have known that that was what was happening. That's a call that was over her head. She had just gotten signed. Somebody at the label said, we don't like it.

Fix it up. All right, we got more with Kelly Price when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still

kicking it with Kelly Price. Yee. Now, during this time when all this is happening, were you married already? I got married very early. I ended up marrying my baby's dad. Now, that was the thing that I should have probably tried to escape, but, you know, growing up the way we did, like, for me, you know,

back then it was like, you got pregnant, you get married. Was it good at first? In retrospect, no. It was never good. It was just what was supposed to be done. Right. And I think that that's a mistake. Like, I don't think you tell somebody,

if you're in this position, you need to get married because y'all might not need to be together right you feel like that was the godly thing to do oh that's what the church taught yeah how did you get the strength to finally leave that marriage because that took a while it took a long time and it took a lot of it it was it was like 25 years yeah wow a lot of hurt a lot of mistrust a lot of outside kids oh damn um and he was your manager yeah wow jesus so you was intertwined personally and professionally personally and professionally like leaving i had to rebuild my life what was the last straw what was the thing that was like i can't do this anymore i had a dream and I saw everything around me burning and being

destroyed and then I saw myself and I looked really sickly and then I saw like the end of my life and this was literally a year after my baby sister died that was a rough year for me what happened with your baby um my baby sister um had a drug issue and her body was just over it one by one her organs started to shut down and so she passed on Easter Sunday in 2014 and between yeah and my grandfather passed on Easter Sunday last year so this year it was important to refocus and try to reposition this time of the year. Between that time, from the time that she died and that time where I had this dream, pretty much, I packed on probably about 75, 80 pounds. I was drinking very heavily every day, going and doing my shows, knocking them out,

getting back to the hotel and drinking until I passed out. It was a crazy year. And I looked at myself in the mirror on my way to do a show in Chicago. And I broke down crying. I looked at myself. I was like, like, what happened to you? And I said, OK, God, if you give me the strength to get myself together, to pull my life back together, I'll do it. And I had no idea where I was going to go. The kids were grown, though. The kids were grown. Yes. life back together I'll do it and I had no idea where I was gonna go the kids

were grown though the kids were grown yes and that that was the biggest relief for me I didn't want to blow their life up you think that's a mistake to people who stay together for the kids yeah I think it's worse for kids to see toxic parents did they ever talk to you about that I thought I was shielding them from it and what I didn't learn until they became adults and came back and had conversations with me about it is that, I mean, they saw things, but they were kind of like sat in the middle of things. I called myself trying to shield it from them. Their father had a very different approach. One of the kids said to me

that their father told them you know if you tell your mother she's going to have a nervous breakdown she can't handle it so he kind of dumped the weight of that on them and literally i didn't know this until again they were grown they were out of the house um and they felt comfortable enough to come and say something to me about it because they probably were processing their own traumas yeah and how that how that impacted them when they were kids yeah that that angered that angered me it angered me so much and so to to what you're saying no there's no such thing as staying together for the kids you the way to keep it together is if you're not working separate because what that becomes is what they

see as normal it's a trauma bond trauma bonds cause trauma yeah to everybody who sees them now did did you i know your husband didn't just let you go easily. I know he was probably furious. He was, but it wasn't his choice. He had the opportunity to hire, you know, whoever he needed to hire to try to do whatever he needed to do. And, you know, I was prepared for it. I was the breadwinner in the family, so I was gripping myself for what was to happen, if it was devastating financially or whatever. He didn't fight you at all?

Did not. He did not. That was a miracle. I actually was gearing up for a fight. I want to go back to your meeting with Jive, right? Psychologically, what happens to you when somebody tells you that you're too big? What was your mind state moving forward after that meeting? messed with my head I had heard it said like I heard whispers of it true story at daddy's house working on a record for a group that was signed to Motown what was their name group that was signed to Motown puff was producing the record I was there as the vocal producer and I

was there cutting the song on the guys. And so I wanted to make a change lyrically to something. So I told them, y'all take a break. I went and sat in a corner, like behind one of those folding things inside of the room where the microphone was, sat on the floor with my pen and pad. And I hear the guys walking in the hallway outside the room. Then they come into the room and they're having a whole conversation. And out of nowhere the conversation turns to yo did you get a look at her yo she she looks like a fat a nel carter oh god and so but i'm and i'm in the corner and so i'm like dang all right so they walk out the room they're in the hallway they're in the hallway

and i'm sitting i don't want to have that awkward moment of walking out of the room and going past them. But they won't leave. And I'm like, okay, you got you on the clock. You got to get the session. So I pulled it together, walked out the door, and walked past them. And they're looking like, I went back into the control room. They came into the control room. Miss Kelly, can we have a word with you?

I said, no, we have work to do. We should just go ahead and finish the record. Wow. That group ever pop? Nope. I did get an apology from one of the, I swear to God, I was walking through an airport and this guy was trying to stop me. And he was like, remember me? I'm like, no, I don't.

Just tell me where I know you from. And he told me, he said, well, remember when you did that song for the group of Bub blah he said we were idiots we were blah blah blah yada and I'm I'm like well what you got going on right now he's like no we're still trying to figure it out and I'm but I'm you know this is years later and I'm like okay god bless you so what was your next deal after that because you threw the job deal away yeah I was probably never away. Because y'all made so much music and everything. True story. He did put an offer on the table. And I said no.

Because he wanted everything. It started. So there was a bit of a bidding war that did happen. It ended up being between MCA, Diddy had paperwork on the table, and then it wasn't Def Jam. It ended up being Ronald Isley, who I met because of Puff. I was in the studio working on a track that he was doing for Aaliyah. Finished it. I'm on my way out.

He was on his way in. He was like, where are you going? I'm like, home. I'm done. He's like, no, I need you to stay. I got something popping. I'm like, okay, what you got? He said, the Isley Brothers.

I'm like, dope. He was like, okay, so I need you to write it. I'm like, yeah, I can do that. I said, well, when does it need to be done? He said, like, right now. I said, right now? He said, he's here. He's leaving his hotel on his way to the studio right now.

What do you have to be kidding me? You have to be kidding. He was like, no. And that was Danny talking to you? Yeah. So big ups to New York traffic. Because it took him about 45 minutes to get to the hotel, to the? Yeah. So, big ups to New York traffic. Because it took him about 45 minutes to get to the hotel,

to the studio from the hotel, which was enough time for me to pen something before he... Floating on your love. Their first one back. Wow.

So, what deal did you take at that time? Did he give you or offer the deal? You had Ron Isley offer the deal that already said

he doesn't care what you weigh, what you look like, your voice is amazing. And where did you decide to go from there? I ended up being with Ronald. He had the least amount of money on the table. I know Puff was mad at you.

Yeah, he wasn't too happy about that one. The guy that I introduced you to, you signed with? He felt a way about it. And I said to him, I said, I need you to understand. I'm thinking like from business at this point. I told him, I said, Faith and I are not the same, but we are too similar. One of us is not going to make it here. And she's already here.

So I wouldn't assume that I would be the priority. Not to mention Puff probably wanted all your publishing. That too. Yeah. Now don't move. We got more with Kelly Price when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning Now don't move. We got more with Kelly Price when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Kelly Price. Charlamagne? I wanted to talk to you about 2020 because you did deal with a lot in 2020. You know, you lost your mom. My mother.

My grandfather. Congratulations to you for that, by the way. Thank you. I appreciate it. I'm sure you're still in the process of healing. What does that process look like to you? The Grace Project.

It ultimately was the thing that kept me, I feel like, from probably going over the edge at the end of the year. School friends, church friends,

to the tune of about 15 or more people lost in my life last year. Did you even get to see your mom last year? No. Wow. In the casket wow wow when you um when you recorded the album was you know they always say sometimes when you're trying to stay busy as a response to trauma you're not dealing with did you actually want to work or was it a trauma response um a little of both but necessary necessary because i had been in the house all year.

But yes, it was a trauma response. But that has always been my go to. When I was a young kid, I can remember just like finding a pad and a pencil and just doodling whatever was coming out of my head, whatever was going on. Have you given yourself time to grieve? Not enough because following death are things that have to be done, things that need to be put in place if they're not already in place. If there's not a directive left, then, you know, the family's kind of stuck trying to put things together. And so I absolutely have not had enough time. And I feel that sometimes when I feel that day coming on, I allow myself to have that moment. The blows from last year.

I think God will teach me how to live with them. I don't I have to honestly say being filled with faith. I don't know that those are things that you ever get over. Right. But you learn how to continue to live with them and process them. And eventually you get to a place where the thought of it doesn't make you cry. You can smile and go, dang, I miss them. Please protect your mental health.

That's what I would tell you. Oh, absolutely. I believe in God, but I got a therapist, too. I do, too. I do, too. Listen, I promise you, I think that God gave us doctors for a reason. Yeah, I actually got a referral very recently to go to somebody. So, yeah.

I remember when you first got divorced, you were saying how difficult it is dating because you had never really dated no so how is it now it's been some years jesus i don't like dating life in the 21st century it's whack and men are groupies too they might give you kelly price who wants you for you just because you kelly price yeah i didn't like it. I'm off the market. I'm off the market. Thank you, God. I'm off the market. Thank you, Jesus. Yeah, and happily so. I think I saw that somewhere. Yeah.

Dating was icky. The very first date that I went on, I laugh at it now, but I was traumatized after that date. I thought the date went well. I got home. I went out to dinner, had conversation had a great glass of wine I'm like okay it's cool I drove my own car I didn't want to get picked up I don't need you know where I live in case you're crazy and like two hours after I

got home thing I look in the phone and I'm like whoa really he's in a penis picture oh yes girl oh yes I was like that must have been great wait a second no context no nothing no did you respond or say anything what did y'all talk about at dinner oh you're trying to blame her? No, I thought we had a really good grown, intelligent conversation. Now, did you reply at all? What the hell? But that could be taken out of context, though.

That could be like, what the hell? That's the biggest thing I've ever seen. It could have been taken out of context once they were blocked, though. I'm just, you know. Who does that? No, that's crazy. Was it from the up angle or underneath? Come on, Yee. Come on, Yee. Come on, Yee.

That's been about six years. Hey, give him some grace. The grace was he didn't catch a tongue last s***. I'm talking about a... Not that tongue. Not that one. Did your eyes just cross over like that?

Yeah, I could have picked my words better. You have a vocabulary, sweetie. Use it. Can you finish your thought on why this area doesn't give grace? Earlier, you got cut off a little bit. You know, I think that we are living in a time where everything is so right now, right now, right now, right now, right now. And if you can't get it, then this person can. And if this person can't, then that one can.

And I think it's beyond microwave mentality. I think the 2000s, early 2000s, 90s, whatever, that was microwave mentality. This is something else. This is like Astro Rocket Juice. When you're talking about 15-second videos and that's the height of somebody's day like we want quick thrills we have less of an attention span we were becoming harder to please we want more more more more more dumb down and I think it has everything to do with that I think it has everything to do with people not learning that process is necessary.

And so in all fairness to them, God helped them. They don't, they don't extend grace to others, but they really don't know how to extend grace to themselves. When you look at people who have that kind of a mentality, there's also a lot of self-destructiveness there too. And I realized that about myself. I can forgive somebody somebody else I had a hard time forgiving myself when I really sat down and thought about you could have did this differently you could have did that differently like the your kids are grown now but you're listening to them tell you how this affected them and why this and why that and why you could have stopped that that was a huge thing for me to feel like in doing what i thought was the best for them it wasn't no and and sits like literally at the center of the places where they question themselves

question relationships have trust you know issues i'm like you could have you could have did something about that grace forgiveness is it's important for us to know how to be that to ourselves. Because you can't really do it for somebody else if you haven't practiced it. And people do tend to be hard on themselves. But we also live in a society where the beauty that we see being put in front of us doesn't even exist. To allow our culture to be infiltrated and then dictated to what our beauty is supposed to be. To watch our people deconstruct their bodies. To only go back and build it back up to be a not authentic version of what you were already given.

We let people get in our heads and tell us, your lips are too thick. Your noses are too wide. You know, your booty is too big. If this is to that and we drank the Kool-Aid and now we're watching just now. Yeah. That you could write so many bars. Cause it's just like, you're right.

We're creating this unattainable bar of perfection. You can't even get to that. It's impossible, but you got to get you. And then when you make mistakes, we're not giving nobody any grace. So it's just like, how do you grow and evolve?

Like my whole life, I was taught about growth and evolution. The people I gravitated towards, whether it's Malcolm X, Maya Angelou, whoever it was. Yes. Because they evolved and they grew

and we saw it. But now it's like, nope, you're not allowed to make any mistakes. I'm like, how do you live like that? That's not human. That's why you got to filter out the noise.

And at some point, just silence everything. Learning how to be still and center yourself is one of the best things that anybody can do for themselves. And I'm not even saying this to try to be funny. Listen to all the voices in your head and figure out which one is telling you the right thing. Absolutely. Go ahead, Kelly Price. Kelly Price. Well, let's get into a record right now.

What record do you want to play? I want to play I Want to Thank You. Okay. Let's do it. Let's do it. I love it. We appreciate you for joining us. Thank you.

I want to thank you, Kelly. Thank you. We appreciate you so much. Thank you for having me. Because we definitely need more Grace Brace in this world. So thank you for coming and sharing your story. Thank you for having me. I know somebody's going to be inspired by your testimony. I hope so. Well, it's Kelly Price.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida Man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida Man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife.

Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. Put the breakfast club, bitchy. Donkey of the day with Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Uh, it's me. Me? Huh. Donkey of the day goes to a Spring Hill, Florida man

named Thomas Eugene Colucci. Now, what does your Uncle Sharla always tell you about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida and today is no exception.

Now, there have been stories like Thomas before, but I have a different perception of these kinds of stories now that it's 2022. Okay, there has been things that have happened in our society uh that make me give Thomas the credit he deserves for being stupid but not really just slightly stupid see Thomas is a meth head ladies and gentlemen okay in fact in his own words he's an experienced drug user experienced drug user

okay a master of meth a professional crank connoisseur. A human with a high degree of knowledge of speed. Yes, that is Thomas Eugene Colucci. So imagine his surprise when he went out and purchased some of that cotton candy. And that meth didn't hit like it should have. It didn't produce the expected sensation he wanted. Nothing worse than when you go out and buy your drug of choice and it ain't hitting on nothing, man. Well, Thomas did

what any savage-ass speed user would do in that situation. He called the police. Yes, 911. We have an emergency and the emergency is, I ain't tweaking and I want to tweak. Well, Thomas, maybe you were and didn't know it. Let's go to WFLA News Channel 8 for the report, please.

41-year-old Thomas Colucci called the Hernando County Sheriff's Office. Authorities say he told deputies he bought meth from a man he met at a bar. He said, all right, me and my partner are coming over to give it to you. And I heard him laughing in the background. Colucci told authorities he was a, quote, experienced drug user who, quote, knew what it should feel like. And when I broke it up, it looked just like it. So I sniffed a little bit and what I think I got was bad salt. Colucci then requests an unmarked squad car from the dispatcher.

I don't want anybody coming out because I'm really paranoid these guys are plotting to kill me. Okay. We can just- He just said an unmarked car so I could show him what he sold me. I really just want to show a police officer what he sold me. I really don't want to get these guys arrested. I just want to know that if something happens to me.

Authorities said Colucci handed them two bags of the drug. Field testing confirmed the presence of methamphetamine. Colucci was charged for possession of the drug and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. Thomas said his meth wasn't hitting on nothing. I'm not too sure about that. It sounds like he was tweaking to me. He called the police because he did not want other people to purchase fake meth from the person who sold it to him he wanted to put the person in trouble for potentially selling dangerous drugs listen all of that sounds absolutely logical to me why because we live in the era of supervised drug use sites they have a lot of supervised drug injection sites okay which are medically supervised facilities designed to provide a hygienic environment in which people are able to consume uh illicit recreational drugs and prevent deaths due to drug overdoses you hear

about all of these people dying of fentanyl okay fentanyl overdoses they have fentanyl test scripts now you remember we had dr carl hart up here and we were debating with him i'm a person who feels like we should spend more money on resources to get folks clean as opposed to creating safe spaces for them to do drugs. But Dr. Carl Hart feels like we can have responsible adult drug usage. I would think calling the police to make sure my drugs are real and to report a drug dealer for potentially selling fake drugs is part of responsible adult drug usage. I read an article a week ago on ABC News about the first official safe injection site here in America, located right in New York City. OK, local officials are allowing legal drug use to make it less deadly. I know different states do different things and there is no state like Florida. But is Thomas really wrong for being a responsible adult drug user?

Is that even really a term? Because that sounds like an oxymoron to me to have responsible and drug uses in the same sentence. But they have these supervised consumption spaces. Remember about a month ago when they said the Biden administration was giving out crackpipes and the Democrats are so terrible at messaging, they couldn't explain what they were actually doing. Well, they were doing what a lot of these safe spaces uh for drugs were doing it's called the harm reduction grant program and they gave money to support community-based overdose prevention programs okay syringe service programs and other harm reduction services and part of the funding can be used to purchase supplies such as safe smoking kits clean crack pipes and overdose

reversal medication same thing these safe spaces for drug use are doing at these um you know sites people bring their own drugs to the consumption rooms and this safe space has syringes and alcohol wipes straws for snorting other paraphernalia probably clean crack pipes and most importantly crucially uh most importantly oxygen and uh opioid overdose reversing drugs see how easy i explain that you dumbass democrats my god the moral of the story is this this this energy these new facilities y'all are opening all across the country are why people like thomas feel like they can call the police and let them know it's bad meth in these streets okay now the reason the reason I will give Thomas Donkey of the day

is because he should know better than to call the police. Okay, the police are there to arrest people for crimes. Until drugs like meth are decriminalized in this country, that's what's going to happen when you call the police. Now, I don't know if supervised consumption spaces exist in Florida. I guess not if the first one was just opened in New York, duh. But if they did, that's where you should go, Thomas. Okay, not if the first one was just opened in New York. Duh. But if they did, that's where you should go, Thomas.

Okay? Not to the police. Alright? An experienced meth user like yourself should know not to trust Pol Pol. Now look at you. Okay? This all arrested. Alright? Charges. Alright? Also, because you was a person who decided to snitch as if you wasn't doing something wrong

your damn self. Yes, the man sold it to you, but you bought it because you wanted to use it. You're both committing crimes in the eyes of the law. What if he called the police on you for using? Hi, Thomas. Please give Thomas Eugene Colucci the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day.

Yee-haw. Yee-haw. Now, should we play a game of guess where Razor is or is it too easy? Meth, Florida. I think that's easy. Okay. Envy, do you think it's easy?

Yeah. It's too easy. Okay. Envy, do you think it's easy? Yeah. It's too easy. I still want to play, though. Nah, man. Not when it's easy. Not when it's easy. All right. All right.

All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max.

He was supposed to relocate to California. He's home with us. We have a condo and can't get down the way we usually get down, you know?

Oh, so is he ever going outside? Is there someplace like an outdoor space? Not right now. Not right now. And we, you know, normally we go to parks, but parks have been closed. We don't want to get arrested because he's essential. I only cater to this kind of, you know, in the public eye. I don't want to be, you know, known for anything scandalous, but of course.

Y'all be going to the parks, getting freaky. I like this. No, no, no. She said, hold on, hold on. Yes, they do. Not now. Not now.

Not during this. Of course. Everything is shut down. We try to be safe. As I said, my husband is essential. I own a catering business. Shout out to small business owners.

You know what I'm saying? You come blow up, you can use the air mattress. I don't know what I've been in the 80s. No.

I don't know if that's going to work. Actually, it's a pillow top air mattress and it's very nice. It's late automatically. Yeah, I have that for guests, but I don't think that's going to work. Mama, go in. Don't worry about him. We're going to go and go, okay. I'm going to work. Mama, go in. Don't worry about him. We're going to go. Okay. I'm going to take your advice. Go in. He

All right. That ain't love. That ain't cream either. 800-585-1051. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. it's ask yee morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee

charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club it's time for ask yee hello who's this hi this is nicole hey nicole what's your question for yeezy um so the situation is um i've been in a relationship for maybe like 17 years. And during my relationship, he had like different sexual interests. And I thought I'm like a dopronatrix. I really like control in the bedroom. And he seemed like he was into it. I like to turn them out, but I don't really like when they're into it. So I've been noticing more and more where they are, he is, like,

hooking his booty out or it's, like, hanging. And I'm kind of not interested in it no more. So I want to know, how do I bring up the conversation with him without hurting his feelings or emasculating him. So wait, let me. So the problem is that you're a dominatrix, right? But he's enjoying it too much. I want to say, yes, that is the problem. Okay.

You want him, you want him to be like. Are you really now now interested in that? Okay, so in the beginning, he wasn't enjoying it. No, I like to turn him out. So he was like, heck no, stay away from that area. What do you think this is? Okay, so you mean with anal, like putting something in his... Yeah. Okay.

All right, well, first of all, you said the goal Is to turn someone out It worked Yeah it did So now that you Turned him out You're bored But the thing is We are like partners

And I don't know If this is gonna mess up Our actual relationship Well as a dominatrix Maybe you need to Find something else To do to him next To turn him out on

Elaborate I mean okay look What other things Do you do as a dominatrix, maybe you need to find something else to do to him next to turn him out on. Elaborate. I mean, okay, look, what other things do you do as a dominatrix in this relationship? Because I guess the dynamic now is messed up, right? As a dominatrix, he's supposed to be like, no, I don't want that. I don't like that. He's resistant. But now he's like,

yes, bring it. Do it to me. Peg me. Yes. And I guess that's that. Do it to me. Peg me. Yes. And I just said that. Do it to me. I noticed that he took the booty out before I'm ready to actually take it. And I'm like, mm. Right. Now this feels like something we both enjoy and it wasn't supposed to be like that.

This is so wrong. So are there other things that you do to him in that situation, that relationship to, you know, maybe there's something else you could do where you're stepping on him with the high heels, maybe a little light whooping, anything like that? Yeah, we do a little role play of, you know, I want to stay asleep or patient. We do like little role plays But like I said it's just more of Now Like if we regular doing Regular sex he's ready To shoot his pussy out What if you use a bigger dildo

What are we talking about This is so wrong Men do not let women play in your butt Unless they're willing to make a real commitment to you Okay Yeah I mean he gave you the butt And now all of a sudden it's too far. This is bad.

They're not married, right? Actually, we are married. What? He gave you his butt and now you're saying it's too much? You mad because you turned me off because I like it? But the problem is that you did turn him out and got him to like something that he was

resistant to at first. And now you don't like it anymore. So, I mean, what can you do? It worked. Check that man, mama. There's some suggestions. If not, like, I really feel like I'm in a hard place because I don't want to say to him, I don't want to do it anymore. And like I said, I'm the one that started this whole.

But. But. I don't want to do it anymore. And like I said, I'm the one that started this whole. But. But. Well, maybe you could do the opposite now, right? And torture him by not doing it. Oh, man. What you don't do to another man's butt, somebody else will. Somebody else will. Solomon, what you're telling me.

I mean, is it that you don't want to peg him anymore at all? Correct. What if he acted like he doesn't like it now moving forward and you let him? Should I ask him to resist a little bit more? Yeah, tell him. Tell him, look, the dynamics of what this was is not what it is now. And this is what I need you to do for me to feel turned on. He might actually enjoy that too.

That's not fair, mama. If he likes something, and now all of a sudden you're supposed to be a couple, you're supposed to enjoy each other. Well, she's not enjoying it. But he is. Right, but he might enjoy also doing the role playing of acting like this is his first time doing it. He didn't want to do it in the first place. He broke down for her to do it.

And now when he actually likes it. If he wants it, he might have to play along. You know why a lot of men don't like butt play? Because they feel like it makes them feel like less of a man, right?

It makes them feel like a sucker, right? So now, I've been vulnerable with you. You turned me out. And now you're telling me to stop acting like a bitch. Well, guess who turned me into one?

Tell us how you feel. I'm just saying. Anyway, have you communicated any of this to him? Slight hints, but not very direct, saying, you know, this isn't how I feel at this current moment. How can we make a change? Well, be direct. You're a dominatrix.

Be direct, okay? And tell him, look, this ain't fun for me no more. Before it was a resistance situation you ain't wanted now you tooting it up toot that thing up daddy make it roll what if i'm not seeing it like in our regular household situation like it seemed like i have to take control of everything and it's like is that that from the way of our bedroom action is? And now it's like, I don't want to call him

bitching out because I don't want to downplay who he is because he's far from a female dog. But like, he's very now soft or he's not taking control

as I think a man in the household can be. So he might think this is what you want. And if you haven't communicated that you don't like it, he might think this is the dynamic that you wanted. But Charlamagne did say something real true. What you don't do, somebody else will do.

Stop it, guys. It's the truth. You turned him on to it so he likes it, he enjoys it. You need to let him know that this is not working for you and this is not what your intention was so he can take charge in certain situations again. This is why men don't open up. Our hearts are our butts to people.

Because of situations like this. But the main thing is that you're not telling him what it is that you need. You gotta let him know. But she wanted it at first and he didn't want to do it at first and then he finally opened up and did it. And it got turned out. And now she's treating me like a bitch. Why you doing that?

That's foul. Alright right, so listen. Talk to him, okay? I'm soft now. You got to work through this. You begged to play in my butt. I let you play in my butt. Now you looking at me like I'm soft. Let's just keep that.

This is crazy. This is crazy. Okay. This is toxic femininity. What's his number? We need to call him. No, stop it. This is toxic femininity.

I don't think I want to put him on the spot. Yeah, don't do it. All right. All right. This is toxic femininity. What's his number? We need to call him. No, stop it. This is toxic femininity. I don't think I want to put him on the spot. Yeah, don't do it. All right. All right. This is toxic femininity. Asky, we have no problem answering any questions. That's foul. This is foul.

He opened up for her. He finally, he enjoys it now, and now she just going to take it back. This sounded too personal, guys. Y'all say y'all can't get men to communicate. Right. We open up. Then y'all tell us y'all don't like what we say. You say we don't share our emotions.

We open up our hearts. Y'all break our hearts. Y'all say y'all we don't want like butt play. We open up. Then y'all tell us y'all don't like what we say. You say we don't share our emotions. We open up our hearts. Y'all break our hearts. Y'all say y'all, we don't want like butt play. We open our butts. Now, look. Take it back. You guys have been too

into ASCII these past couple of days. This is crazy. This is foul. Yeah, this is crazy. This is foul. These toxic women that are calling

this radio station. We need to protest. ASCII. I'm going to get a butt hat. I'm going to get a butt hat. I'm going to get a butt cheek hat. 800-585-1051 at The Breakfast Club. Oh, man.

The Breakfast Club. It's that time again. Ask Charlamagne and DJ Envy anything. Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up. It's time to ask C&E. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

It's time for Ask C&E. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can hit us right now. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Kendra. Hey, Kendra, good morning. What's your question for C&E? It's Kendra. I actually have a question for you, Andy.

Yes, ma'am. I just got my first house here in North Carolina, and I'm wanting to get a flipping house, but I don't know where to start. Okay. Well, first of all, how's your credit? Is your credit good? Yeah. That's the most important thing.

And then now you have to find the property. There's a couple of websites that I use across the country. One is auction.com. Okay. And the other one is hubzoo.com. Now those are two websites I have no affiliation with, so I don't get no pay for it or nothing. These are just the websites I actually use. Those are the websites I use to find properties that are usually being auctioned off that you can get at a great price, way under market value. And that's where you should look first. And you should look at the comps in the area and see what those properties are worth when

you look at those properties you should take somebody with you to see how much those properties will cost to fix up see what's wrong with the property if it needs a new roof if it needs electric if it needs plumbing if it needs flooring if it needs siding if it needs whatever it may be and then make your your analysis from there so if that property is 500 it needs $100,000 worth of work, that's $600,000, but it's worth $800,000, that's a good flip. Okay. I want to follow your partner on Facebook and Instagram,

and I want to attend one of your seminars, but I'm working on that, my next goal, to attend one of your seminars. That would be a good one because during the seminar, there's so many people there that do finance, and a lot of times we have the people from those sites actually come so auction.com tells you how to navigate through their site to buy the actual properties we have hard money lenders we have financial people there to tell you how you can get the loans and help you get those loans so

it's it's a really good seminar you should definitely check it out if you have a chance i appreciate it thank you all right and just continue to follow me and Cesar because we're going to do some courses online because we can't make it to all these cities. We just got so much going on where we can help people online and we just want to see our own people just, you know, continue to purchase land and property. Yeah, I'm trying to build generational wealth.

Alright, mama. Thank you. Hello, who's this? This is Couture Nail Design. Hey, Couture Nail Design. I have a question. I have a question for you, Envy. Why are you so insecure in your masculinity that you won't let Ye say a Ye mix when you're not there? Good, great question. Great question, Queen.

I'm not insecure in my masculinity. Ye was allowed to do mixes a long time ago, but I believe they said she was trash, so they didn't want her to do it. That never happened. You are such a liar. But that was the problem.

I don't play the music that was out at the time. Not the pre-programmed stuff you got going on. Well, I don't play the music during the show, man. But if, you know, if Ye's mix wasn't trash,

they would have invited her to play again. It's not trash. It is. I bump more to the E mix than I do to your mix. Ooh. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

Maybe you should start an Instagram page and try. I don't know, but that's what they're saying. They told me that her mix was trash. And they said that because the mix was so trash, they didn't want her back. I'm sorry. You said you were going to see her on Reddit.

That was you. You were being shady. I'm not being shady. But you have a good morning, though. I love you. Whatever. Send her healing energy. I'll send you healing energy, mama.

Hello, who's this? Hey, this is P. Oh, boy. Fake name. What's your question for C&E? I just had a question How do you deal with Trusting someone

After them cheating You have a baby together Oh, that's not on you That's on him The best apology is change behavior He has to regain your trust That's not something you gotta force yourself to do Yeah, and it takes time

Don't let him force you to be like oh you gotta you forgave me so you gotta no no no it takes time whenever you're comfortable whenever you feel okay that's when you feel okay like charlamagne said it ain't about telling me it's about showing me and are you open are you open to trusting him again i am definitely open to trusting him again it's just like the fact like feeling like depressed and like feeling betrayed by someone. All good feelings not good feelings

but all natural feelings to have. All you got to do is remain open to trusting him and he has to regain your trust by changing his behavior

and that's just going to come over time. Just like you knew he was cheating just like your sixth sense that woman's sense intuition knew he was cheating

you're going to know when he's doing right. And that makes sense. Thank you. And if you're still uncomfortable every once in a while, do a phone check. Phone check. Give me your phone. Thank you, guys.

Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Nani. Hey, Nani. What's your question for C&E? So I just found out my husband was texting, really like explicit text with a co-worker. I'm a month pregnant and I've been going through a lot of like miscarriage affairs. So this whole time I'm like, why would you think it's okay for you to be doing these things when we are going through like some hard at home like we could lose a baby and every time I bring it up to him he kind of just like just get over it

you know let's move on um I didn't do nothing with this message but like you work with this girl and I've asked you multiple times to like contact her in front of me and tell her like it's over you know like I don't want to have anything to do with you. But he won't do it. Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest with you. I think it's very disrespectful the fact that you're pregnant and he continues to text this girl. I know it has to be difficult for you because every day he goes to work, you have to think about your husband seeing this other woman that he's been texting explicitly.

And it's not a matter of just get over it and it'll go away. No, it's not that. You keep that pressure on that man's neck. The fact that he has been doing it is very disrespectful. Your husband is a boy. We've all had our boy opportunities and our boy aspects of our lives, but he has to grow up and understand he has responsibilities. He has a wife at home that's pregnant

and he should be taking care of home, making sure that that life that you're building, that you're completely stress-free. Yo, yo, yo, queen, get her fired, queen. Queen, get her fired, queen. You know what I'm saying? I'm sure you got a creative mind. You can make something up and get a little message to the boss.

You know what I'm saying? Get her fired, queen. But, you know, that's her livelihood. Yes, I have a good job. Oh, you care about her livelihood? Does she care about your livelihood? She ain't thinking about you. She ain't thinking about your life, your livelihood, the life in your belly.

Nothing. Get her fired, queen. All right. Goodness gracious. Or let her know. I'm going to get you fired if you don't leave my man alone. Yeah, you might have to embarrass her. You might have to embarrass her one more time.

Straight up. Maybe an anonymous Facebook post. I know what's going on at the job. Y'all better leave my man alone before I start naming names. Or you could do it right now if you want. No, don't do it now. Think about it. Have a good one.

What kind of advice is that? Forget about it. All right, do it now. Don't do it now. Don't do it now. Think about it. Pray on it. My goodness. All right. Well, that. Don't do it now. Don't do it now. Think about it. Pray on it. My goodness.
