Starting point is 00:00:00 Envy, Yee, and Charlamagne. Everybody that's anybody comes to The Breakfast Club. You know, you give voice to people that would be voiceless. Right now, your show has the pulse of the culture. Yeah. Everyone smells rich. Successful. All that now, can't nobody take it out.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Non-stop entertainment. The Breakfast Club. Wake your punk ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, how you doing? It's LG.
Starting point is 00:00:35 LG, what up? Get it off your chest, brother. What up, man? I'm a car transporter, man. The way the cars out here, man, they don't respect us, man. You know, when you see a big truck on the road, you know, you gotta move to the side. Everybody trying to cut us off, not giving
Starting point is 00:00:53 us no respect out there on the road, man. Now, I'm gonna be honest with you, man. Lately, I've been feeling like them trucks been driving like they cars. I feel like it's been like that the last few years. They be pulling up, they be cutting over on the side of the road like they driving regular vehicles. Nah, y'all too big to be bullying y'all way in. All right.
Starting point is 00:01:13 You got a Mack truck, bro. You fool around and hit somebody. No, I don't. Yeah, I don't. But when you're trying to move over, you're trying to get to the side, you know? Like, don't nobody want to get over. Yeah, I don't like that. I agree with that. People do try to not let trucks over, and sometimes trucks got to take that because people will speed up, drive in your blind spot.
Starting point is 00:01:36 So I know that's not an easy thing. I've seen it happen. I've probably done it. Yeah, trucks do the same thing, though. I don't like that. Y'all got—because y'all already got command of the road. You know what I'm saying? Y'all can really hurt somebody.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Like, you can't just swerve over into another lane when you're driving a big-ass Mack truck. And the cars got to be careful, too, because cars be disrespectful to them trucks and just hop over
Starting point is 00:01:53 and think the truck could just slow down. It goes both ways. It definitely goes both ways. That's a lot of weight on the road, man. All I'm saying is, when you see a truck,
Starting point is 00:02:03 just give it some respect because, you know what I mean? Like, we be out here every day with a lot of weight. It's a lot of responsibility. You know what I mean? You in your truck now, brother? Huh? You in your truck now? No, I'm actually about to head.

You're always doing that. When I was a kid, that was the coolest thing. We used to drive to Disney back in the day, and you see a truck, and you get the truck driver to blow the horn. But all right, thank you, brother. He wants you to blow something. You're always doing that. When I was a kid, that was the coolest thing.
Starting point is 00:02:25 We used to drive to Disney back in the day, and you see a truck, and you get the truck driver to blow the horn. That was the coolest thing. Okay. Okay. Y'all ever did that? Yes. No.

First of all, I want to get off my chest, make it long, sweet, and simple.
Starting point is 00:06:02 February 22nd, I got divorced. I've been trying to get in touch with you guys for a while. I came home February 19th from work. I caught my wife in the bed with a woman, our best friend. It would be okay if the woman didn't look just like me as a man. Ended up getting divorced. My wife, we were married for seven years. Getting divorced, the judge gave me the house, the cars.
Starting point is 00:06:29 He was going to give me the kids, but I work a full-time job. I got to get it off my chest because 20 years prior to this, it happened before. You can get divorced that fast? Look, I didn't even know she filed for a divorce. I didn't even know she filed for a divorce. I didn't even know she filed for a divorce. What happened, what was amazing is when I went to court, she apparently last year filed for the divorce, but they never served me. So when we went to court, the judge said,
Starting point is 00:06:58 hey, I can take jurisdiction of you right now for $200. I was like, I don't have no money. So she said, I do outside in the car. So she went downstairs and the judge honored it. And he said, if you go upstairs to the third floor, Flora will accept it right now. And they divorced us on February 22nd. I just want to thank you guys.
Starting point is 00:07:19 For $200. Because it's for $200. Yeah. You know, I just want to thank you guys for just every morning, man, keeping me active and keeping my mind right, because if it wasn't for you, I'm not going to do anything bad,
Starting point is 00:07:36 but it's just a blessing that you guys are keeping positive notes on the radio every morning. Okay, brother. Thank you, brother. Wish I had some good advice for you, but I don't, you know? But at least you lost it to another woman because there's certain things a woman can do that you can't do, you know? I don't know if that was good advice, but I'm trying to make you feel better.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Hello, who's this? This is Mercedes Collins from Indianapolis. Oh, my gosh. Good morning, DJ Evie, Angela Yee, and Charlotte Bain. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Good morning.

I am so tired of these DoorDash customers not tipping. At least tip like $5. They're driving like
Starting point is 00:08:35 25 minutes for an order and come to find out they only tipping $2. Do at least $5. Gas is too hot. Seriously, gas. I do 20%. Man, I'm trying to tell you. Yesterday, I had an order that was
Starting point is 00:08:51 like 30 minutes away. Mind you, the order said it was like $9. At first, I was like, I guess I'll take it. Trying to find out, drive all the way up there, the customer only tipped $3. That is 20%. Listen to what you just said, though. Trying to find out, drive all the way up there, the customer only tips $3. So please.
Starting point is 00:09:06 That is 20%. Listen to what Yee just said, though. You know, the order was $10. Yee says she tips 20%, which would have been $2. The customer gave you 30%, $3. So what would you expect the customer to tip on a $10 order? Well, on a $10 order, at least tip $5. At least $5.
Starting point is 00:09:26 $5? Okay. For $5, I'm going to get it myself. $ order, at least tip five. At least five. Five? Okay. For $5, I'm going to get it myself. $5, I'm going to get it myself. You know what? I would never order anything on DoorDash for $10. I didn't think they delivered for $10. Yes, they do. I never would do that. Because there's also like a processing fee.
Starting point is 00:09:39 There's a processing fee on top of that, right? No, if you remember. Yeah, I'm a member. If you remember, they don't charge it. That gets rid of the delivery fee, but there's still a processing fee on top of that, right? Nah, if you don't remember. Yeah, I'm a member. If you don't remember, they don't charge you. That gets rid of the delivery fee, but there's still a processing fee and all of that. Yeah, now my son-in-law- Not just a flat, what it would cost. He delivers one meal all the time.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Chipotle, Shake Shack. I just want to give a shout out right quick. I just want to give a shout out to my friend Nicholas in Georgia.

Starting point is 00:10:38 Yeah, I mean, it's every challenge that everyone says, but it's so rewarding. I'm just glad that my first daughter now has a mate. Was she jealous at first? No. No, everyone said that she would be but no she wasn't she was i think she was just really happy to be a sister you know yeah my brother was so jealous when i was born he's only a year older than me yeah um they had to like keep us separated because he was always sitting on me and he thought i was a dog because we had a dog my first daughter she just wants to hug the whole time so and my second daughter is five months so sometimes you're like okay what's the age difference i forgot i think like 18 maybe 20 months maybe 20 that's good see my last three are all like three years apart so seven four
Starting point is 00:11:19 and one but the oldest is 14 so the age gap is so far so she's more like a how's the one-year-old oh she's amazing oh yeah yeah i mean she's amazing but like yeah but yeah totally but just i'm glad like being close in age you'll see the bond totally yeah totally and i i really wanted to do that like me and my brother were super close when we were growing up and it was like exactly two years between us as well now what about this new music so i saw that you did a little secret show that's a really emotional show man like really i i've sort of made this album i had i had like a bunch of stuff happen at the beginning of the year and i made an album sort of in and around it and i've never i hadn't played it to anyone and then i put this uh show on it was for a mental health charity and i did you know like what chapelle does you
Starting point is 00:12:04 take all the phones and stuff like that and i played all the songs for the first time and just it was really powerful well let's talk about what was the inspiration for the album i had my best friend died in march and uh it was as i well actually february the 20th but as i was uh heading into a big court case and i had another mate died mid court case and I had some other stuff in my family That was like health issues and it was one of those things and you you you know I've become a problem solver in my friendship group I'm sure you both of you guys are problem solvers in your friendship groups And there's just certain things you can't solve the death is one of them
Starting point is 00:12:39 Illness is one of them you know and it was just uh i just wrote a record around it mostly being like cathartic and it being therapeutic for me because i had no outlet of because i was i was basically in a courtroom every single day being told that i was like a thief and a liar and i had like no outlet of talking to people because i couldn't talk to anyone because i was in this case and so i just wrote a load of songs that ended up being this album that i think will come out next year but it's uh it's definitely it's the album i've thought the least about it was an album full of grief basically totally yeah well grief and like processing and like you know because i felt when my friend died like the next day everyone's life resumed as normal and i was sort of looking around being like no no no the world has to stop
Starting point is 00:13:26 for a bit you know like when the queen died the world stopped like I just felt like the world had to stop and just take a moment so there's a song on there called Life Goes On and it's basically just lyrics that easy come hard go but life goes on because every like the worst day of your life ends and the next day
Starting point is 00:13:42 begins and then it's a totally new day and I just it's a totally new day and i just it's a lot of processing like i've never never been to therapy before and after all of this started sort of speaking to someone and it it's very just opens up your well i'm glad to hear that thank you how long you been going uh i started i started pretty much straight afterwards um june wow wow wow how was that first session like horrible man because he's talking to a stranger and you're like you're saying like the deepest darkest secrets of like childhood trauma or like this happened when i was a kid or like this and i was things i haven't
Starting point is 00:14:15 explained to anyone about and you're telling them to an absolute stranger and then you go and how are you and they go they can't they can't uh let you into their private life but but yeah it's been it's been very helpful sam smith said therapy is basically someone coming in uh and looking at your suitcase and reorganizing it for you i love it man i love therapy i go once a week totally i mean it's something i it's it's still quite a like taboo thing in the uk everyone i know in america like i would say nine out of ten people do it but in like even speaking to my friends about it back home you know I've sort of mentioned it and the reaction wasn't like good for you it was like oh you're right you know yeah whereas I think it is
Starting point is 00:14:56 quite it should be normalized I think all right we got more with Ed Sheeran when we come back don't move it's the Breakfast Club good morning the breakfast club 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.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Ed Sheeran. I saw people congratulate, well, not congratulating you,
Starting point is 00:20:48 but they were bigging you up because you kept the ticket prices reasonable. Yeah. Are you doing that because you're aware of how the economy is now? I used to go to gigs as a kid, and the tickets that I bought I could always afford, and I could go with my friends. And I don't want to, without sounding crass, what is the extra money going to do for my life?
Starting point is 00:21:05 Like, I would rather play sold-out gigs everywhere in the world than have an extra X amount of whatever. And, like, I know how much my show costs, and I know how much I kind of want to walk away with, and after that, I'm sort of fine with it. And I'm sure your merch does amazing, too. Totally, yeah. And, you know, people coming to the gigs,
Starting point is 00:21:25 this isn't going to be the last time I tour. You want repeat business. You want people being like, do you know what? I went to that show with all of my mates and we had a great time and we'll go next time. And this is what I've done for my entire career is just make tickets reasonable and affordable
Starting point is 00:21:39 and they will come. And my last tour was the biggest selling tour in the world and the highest grossing as well. So we still made good money and everyone came to the gig so i'm just you know i don't believe in the platinum seats and the vip areas and the sold meet and greets like we do partnerships with uh radio stations for meet and greets and it's always free and it's always competition so fans actually enter the competitions they excited to go they don't feel like they're parting with money to meet you and feel cheated out of it and there's just ways that i like to do it and it's always
Starting point is 00:22:08 worked so i'm not going to change it he says i'm just now about doing not wanting to do things that you don't believe in how hard is it not to be a clout chaser in 2022 because i know people probably come to you and be like you know ed this person's doing this and this person's doing that maybe you should try to do this type of record or maybe you should take a picture doing this and totally well i mean tiktok is that i never really understood tiktok but tiktok controls songs now really there's a team in the uk that come to me and they go well these are the trends and i'll go well this is quite funny and this is quite funny and i'll just choose the things that i want to do. So I guess that is kind of chasing clout, but it's essentially that's how you advertise your music now. In terms of genres, I love spanning all genres.
Starting point is 00:22:52 I like trying different things. I like making anything. I've sung in Italian, I've sung in French, I've sung in Japanese. I'm up for trying anything. But I think you have to walk into something with a somewhat knowledge of it and respect of it rather than just being like oh that's the hot thing i'm i'm i'm gonna do that
Starting point is 00:23:11 so when i first made afrobeat i moved to ghana and lived there for a month and like a lot of music that wasn't just my music i made music that went on other people's projects and stuff how was that experience living in ghana for a month so good Did you go to like the door no return and all of that stuff? The slave castles? No. We went to the guy that I went with Fuse ODG. He had a house there and he had a studio in his house and I mean we went out and about but like not like
Starting point is 00:23:36 usually. We would like go for runs and stuff like that but the thing I loved about it is you'd be in the studio all day making these songs and then a phone call would be made 200 people turn up to the house and then you'd have a party to the songs with that said do you have a hard time just selling music nowadays and what i mean by that is people want your life totally they want to know about the wife and the kids like but no i just want to give them the music it's an odd line isn't it because i think well i think kids are always off off the table like
Starting point is 00:24:03 there's no there's no point with with that but it's it's interesting with my life with cherry because the songs are about it so there's obviously interest in it and you know we're shooting a documentary at the moment around my life and there was a big conversation about what do we include and i think that as long as it's honest and it and it links in with a theme of something that's in a song like there's no point putting something in if it is just detrimental to your life i think but yeah it's definitely there's a fine line isn't it because i'm yeah we're all public figures everyone's interested in what you talk about your personal life on the radio you talk about your personal life on the radio therefore you've somewhat opened the door
Starting point is 00:24:44 but then there's also this... Boundary. Preaching privacy of being like, oh, actually, I'm a human being that sometimes people forget. So, yeah, it's a very fine line. But that's why I... Like, you've been to my house in Suffolk.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Like, that's why I live where I live and I don't live in Los Angeles and I don't... My life as a celebrity is switched on when it needs to be switched on. So I come to New York and I'm working this week. So I'm doing the TVs and I'm doing the radios and I'm a celebrity for the week. But when I go home, I'm a friend.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I'm a dad. I'm a husband. I'm a son. And that's my... You can't bring celebrity baggage into a pub in Suffolk. You just have to be yourself. But what if the pub is in your yard? Right next to your house yeah I mean that is
Starting point is 00:25:26 do you know actually since you came and then basically the pandemic happened that pub hasn't really been properly used as a pub what yeah it's weird like
Starting point is 00:25:34 the kind of way of hanging out I don't know if it's changed here but the way of hanging out in England is very different it's not like 20 people
Starting point is 00:25:41 go to a meetup with like a mate and go to a pub but it used to just be a bit more free I feel I would think that that would be the place everybody would have came to hang out during the pandemic Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how it was here But like it was very much people were trying to catch you out. So like they're being irresponsible Yeah, so like a neighbor of someone might tell the press of you know someone coming around and then you have kids and a family too and i think you have to be
Starting point is 00:26:08 more responsible when you have that well we actually didn't have we didn't have a kid for the first half cherry was pregnant for the first half but that's how we kept it so quiet no one knew she was pregnant yeah so can we expect a new album you said subtract is coming yeah subtract is coming uh there's a new album. And then there's new music. I'm basically like, I'm in the most creative part of my life, I feel, because the pressure of every album having to be this, like, gargantuan pop machine is off. I've had five of them now.
Starting point is 00:26:39 And I feel like now is the time to actually explore doing stuff and taking risks. Because I'm going to be on a stadium tour for five years.

Pick up the phone, baby. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning everybody, it's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:33:18 We are The Breakfast Club. Now if you just join us during Get It Off Your Chest, a woman called this morning and had a little issue at her son's school. Let's listen. My son comes into the car and tell me a teacher called him a jerk, so I'm ready to let this lady have it. My son is six years old and a school teacher, instead of inspiring them and being a role model, she over there calling him a jerk, a slob, telling him it's not rocket science. So what would y'all do? Because I'm literally trying to make myself not get incarcerated
Starting point is 00:33:47 because I'm afraid of jail to be truthful with you, but I'm ready to let this lady have it because enough is enough. We're asking what would you do if your six-year-old child was called a jerk in school? Now, Charlamagne and I was talking, and he is absolutely
Starting point is 00:34:04 right. Back in my day, if a teacher called me a jerk, I definitely would say your mother. Your mother's a jerk. I would say your mother's a jerk in school. Now, Charlemagne and I was talking, and he is absolutely right. Back in my day, if a teacher called me a jerk, I definitely would say your mother. Your mother's a jerk. I would say your mother's a jerk, because I was a bad, disrespectful little kid who was always in trouble. And you know what would have happened in that situation? I would have gotten more trouble than the teacher, because I would have been sent to the principal's office for saying that your mother's a jerk,
Starting point is 00:34:20 and then I'd have been in the principal's office trying to explain, well, she called me a jerk first. And none of my, none of the teachers, none of the principals, my parents, none of them would want to hear that. You okay? In that case I wouldn't have got in trouble because as soon as I told my mother or my father that a teacher called me a jerk they would be like alright you was right for saying your mother
Starting point is 00:34:36 I don't know if they would have back in the day bro back in the day they didn't really listen to kids the way we listen to kids now. Nah my parents listen to me like that was one thing I knew that if I ever got in trouble I can call them immediately. If a teacher called me a jerk and I said, your mama's a jerk, then when my mama came to school, then my mama will call my teacher's
Starting point is 00:34:52 mama a jerk too. And truth be told, I've never been on the right side of any of that in school. I always instigated it. Yeah, that seems like you. Always in some way, shape, or form. But if that was my child, I would go have a conversation with that teacher. Immediately. There's no emails.
Starting point is 00:35:08 There's no phone calls. I'm pulling up after school and I want to go talk to the teacher. I'm going to ask the teacher a simple question. Did you call my child a jerk? And then if she says, yeah, I called him a jerk. Then we got to have a conversation. I can't even leave that conversation with you. I have to take that conversation immediately to your supervisor because that has to be on
Starting point is 00:35:22 record for if I got to give you a wedgie or slap the out you next time I see you i see well you can't do it because she's a woman but it depends we don't know all teachers aren't women but on this case the teacher was a woman all right my wife was slapped there you go i mean i would do the first thing i would do is i would have my attorney draw up a letter because i would need to have it on record just in case that does happen and my wife has to slap the ish out of a teacher just want it on record just in case and say that this teacher is very aggressive. And then, yeah, I would have my wife go down there and have a little tongue lashing with this teacher. And by the way, we just talking.
Starting point is 00:35:53 We would never hit the teacher, but we would sue him. We would go to their supervisors. Okay, all of that is true. All right. Now, what about you? I think that from the side of things, from the teacher side of things, I remember when I was doing my apprenticeship to be a teacher, one of the teachers would always lose control in the classroom and talk crazy to the students. And students don't respect that when a teacher does that.
Starting point is 00:36:16 And then it allows for them to feel like they can speak to her that way. Like you said, you would call the teacher a jerk back or say your mom is a jerk or something like that. And so I just think that creating that environment makes people feel like that's appropriate to talk to each other that way. And you never want to do that as a teacher. That's why you always have to have control and be as authoritative as possible and also teach them how to show respect to each other. So I think that is one of the main things, because once you lose control like that, it's
Starting point is 00:36:39 hard to get it back. I agree with that. But I'll tell you something. You do respect the teacher if she curses you out the way you and your friends curse each other out. Like, if you call him an F-boy,
Starting point is 00:36:50 you know what I mean? Or tell him he switched sides like a little bitch. You know what I'm saying? Stuff like that. I'm telling you. Why are you sitting to the bitch
Starting point is 00:36:58 and not the person? I don't know why my brain did that. But I'm going to tell you something. If you curse him out in that way, they respect it.
Starting point is 00:37:08 But I think you don't want kids to feel like it's appropriate to speak that way because then they talk to each other like that they talk to you they already are though you don't want them to you don't want to set that standard they already are and i get it i agree but they already are talking to each other like that and if you curse them out the way they curse each other out the whole class would be like oh burn but i ain't lie. And then that's an ego thing. I had teachers that put hands on you, too. Oh, yes. I had teachers that would grab me by the collar, grab me by the shirt. Yes, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Yeah, you know. I don't think that happens as much anymore. No, that doesn't happen anymore, no. But when I grew up in Montecorna, South Carolina, I'm telling you, we had a fourth grade teacher in Whitefield Elementary School. Boy, Ms. Freeman used to put hands on people, boy. Be jacking us up in the classroom. Shout out to Ms. Harris.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Ms. Butterfield used to grab my cheeks, grab my cheeks in my face and pinch them, like pull me out the class. What did Mr. Harris used to do to your cheeks? Ms. Harris. I didn't hear that part. Mr. Harris did what to your cheeks? Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:37:57 Do you want to discuss this childhood trauma that you experienced? Wow. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name's Alicia. Alicia, good morning. Good morning. How y'all doing? I'm doing name's Alicia. Alicia, good morning. Good morning. How y'all doing?
Starting point is 00:38:07 I'm doing well. Bless Black and Holly favorite. How are you? I am too. I am too. So what did the teacher call your kid? It was an after school teacher. He said my son looked like Squidward.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Like who? Squidward. Squidward. Squidward. Well, before we judge, does he? Does he? Does he? No, he don't.
Starting point is 00:38:23 No, he don't. So I pressed the situation. I went right back to after school right after because I like to address things right then and there. I'm not taking it home. He didn't want me to go back because, you know, like. He looked like Swoon. No, he don't. Stop playing with me.
Starting point is 00:38:40 And how old is your son? He's seven. He's seven. So I went back i'm like i want to talk to such and such whatever the teacher name was because he said my son looks like sliver i'm ready to i see him coming i'm ready to go all off on him but long story short come to find out my son told the teacher that his teeth is messed up and he looks crazy see that that was me i was that kid right so you know you know and i and i had to address it and i let my son know i'm like that's not just that the teacher's not your size because i'm ready i'm like you're gonna get me in trouble
Starting point is 00:39:17 one day because i'm always ready to go up on the teacher because i don't play behind my kids same like the mom said i would go to jail mine. But my kid is that kid with the mouth that's going to tell you how he feels. So we just got to get to the bottom of the story before we jump to that. Absolutely. That was me. And that's why whenever stuff like that used to happen, first thing my daddy would say, what did you do? Because it was always
Starting point is 00:39:38 one side. What did you do? And he was right a lot of the time. I did instigate that. I'd be the one messing with the teacher and the teacher say something back to me, and now I'm upset. Hello, who's this? This is Tempest from the Bronx. Hey, Tempest.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Good morning. Good morning. Talk to us. Well, listen, I'm meeting her at the school, and we're going to discuss why she thought it was okay for her to call my child a jerk. I'm going there, and then I'm going To the principal Because the principal Need to put her In check too No
Starting point is 00:40:07 If my child Did something You tell me And I'll handle it That's not your place Especially if you Call him a jerk Nah
Starting point is 00:40:14 That's right How you doing Good morning You put my child In jerk Nah And then you say I want to see you dance
Starting point is 00:40:22 And then you put on To your jerk song I'm a jerk song. That's right. Jerk. You make the teacher dance backwards. The moral of the story is stop playing with people. Churn.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Okay. It's simple. It's really that simple. That same golden rule. Y'all be teaching them kids doing the others. You would have them doing to you. Treat people's kids the way you want them to treat your kids and your grandkids. Before somebody have you in that classroom dancing to your jerk. Okay. Don't move.

In a good ass mood. I woke up at 5 a.m. Word. You know, I always tell, when I'm sitting down with my therapist, I always say, I'm somewhere between O and K.
Starting point is 00:47:14 I think that's a good place to be. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, O. No. His name is O.K. O.K. O.K. She was very little. She was trying to getK. She was very literal. I was trying to get deep.
Starting point is 00:47:28 She was trying to get deep with me. I love that Lizzo came in and called y'all glizzy guzzlers. Oh, glizzy gladiators in the building. That's not what happened. That's not what happened. That's what I heard. That's not how it started. We were talking about hot dogs.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Yes. And then for some reason we got into Ryan's. Oh, Ryan. Oh, Ryan's. That's what she said. Orion's belt. You were talking about a glizzy. I didn't know **** was a glizzy.
Starting point is 00:47:50 I thought glizzies were hot dogs. Glizzy are hot dogs, but it's also It's also a **** or it's a gun. A glizzy? I've never heard that one either. What do you call it? What word do you normally use? I say a wo-wo. Because you know they call them wee-wees, but word do you normally use I say um a woe woe
Starting point is 00:48:05 cause you know they call them wee wees but that sounds small so I say a woe woe woe woe sounds small
Starting point is 00:48:10 oh no no woe woe sounds amazing you pull it out and go woe woe so when you say it like that that's different
Starting point is 00:48:14 woe woe I don't know if that could that's actually a good way to make a guy feel as you say special
Starting point is 00:48:18 you'd be like woe woe I don't know plug the album yep you can say wee wee if it's cute
Starting point is 00:48:23 just be like oh yeah it's cute if it's French. Just be like, oh, yeah. Oh, look at the Oui Oui. Yeah, it's cute. If it's French, I'll call it a Oui Oui. Well, Lizzo's album is out this Friday. Lizzo Verse. Lizzo Verse. Now, let's talk about it.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Now, you did this during the pandemic. Yes, I did. And how was that? Because you didn't have producers. You didn't have people around. You had to figure it out yourself. Well, the first songs were bad. Wow.
Starting point is 00:48:48 I mean, I'm a great songwriter, so the songs were still good. But I was in my home studio beating on a guitar and, like, doing an MPC trying to make beats. It wasn't it. But really, all of these songs came after I wrote Rumors and I put Rumors out. I was like, this is how the world sees me. After Rumors came out, I got all this backlash and I was like, holy s***, I'm not used to being in the public eye and dropping a song. So I wrote
Starting point is 00:49:11 Special to kind of like protect myself and remind myself how special I am. I love the fact that you had self-awareness to know that the music wasn't good. Because, you know, sometimes your ego will tell you, like, everything I do is great. Like, when do you think you developed that type of self-awareness? I think it's because I'm a perfectionist and I'm really hard on myself so I cut a lot of songs from this album I wrote like over 170 songs and I had to cut a lot
Starting point is 00:49:35 some of them had some of my favorite lyrics um I was rapping more on some songs and I was like I gotta show people I rap you know but I narrowed it down to like the perfect songs I was like, I got to show people I rap, you know. But I narrowed it down to like the perfect songs. I was like, it has to be a perfect song. It has to mean something. So I think I can just be super hard on myself. It's really that. How do you know you're not lying to yourself? Because, you know, the things we tell ourselves is the most important.
Starting point is 00:49:55 How do you know you're not lying to yourself? Because I'll lie to myself in the opposite direction. I'll be like, this ain't good. And people have to be like, bitch, it's good. What you talking about? Oh. That's what I i mean like you could be lying to the music could be actually good but how do you know when you're not lying to yourself if it's just you you know that happened one about damn time i was like i don't know about this one y'all and it was the last song to be written for the album i turned in my masters in march and i wrote it in february
Starting point is 00:50:22 and i was like i don't know about this one, y'all. And that was the number one song. See what I'm saying? Yes, I was wrong. I don't know. Prove me wrong. When did Lizzo get the confidence? When people talk now, they be like, I want confidence like Lizzo. So when did you get the confidence and be okay with the world and the trolls and the
Starting point is 00:50:38 shots that they always throw at you? You go to the game, they throw a shot at you. You say something that's cool in the States, but maybe not cool overseas. They throw shots at you. Where did you develop that confidence? I think it's because my intention is always good. I'm very confident in the content of my character and the fabric of my being. Like, I feel like I'm a good person.
Starting point is 00:51:00 And that's always my North Star. I'm always like, you know what? I didn't mean wrong. I was confused, too. A lot of things, when I get backlash, I'll always like, you know what? I didn't mean wrong. I was confused too. A lot of things, when I get backlash, I'll be like, wait, what did I do? The spaz thing confused us. I was mad you changed that, by the way.
Starting point is 00:51:13 In New York or anywhere, people are like, you spazzed out. It's not being... Words matter. Spaz means to lose physical or emotional control. Like a coach can spaz during a game. You can spaz out because you're upset about something. It doesn't just mean a physical ailment. It's a nuanced conversation. And I was like, what's the best thing I can do? I can say my opinion on it and just add to everyone else's opinion or I can do something about it. And really, I wanted to be a leader in what we
Starting point is 00:51:40 should be doing as a culture, like making this world a better place. Like if they could do that for black people, that would be amazing. True. When we call things out, if they can make changes that quickly for us, if I can do it that quickly, I did it on a Sunday night.
Starting point is 00:51:52 It was fixed by Monday. They could do that for us when we call out injustices about us. So I wanted to be a leader in that. You say fixed, but you didn't do anything wrong because you used it in this proper context. Like words matter.
Starting point is 00:52:01 This is a dictionary defined word. Right. You know, and you used it in the proper context. You, words matter. This is a dictionary-defined word. Right. You know, and you used it in the proper context. You know, it was news to me, too. You learn something new every day. But I think it was a great example to say, okay, people have a problem with this. It's not a big deal for me to just change the word.
Starting point is 00:52:19 It wasn't my intent to offend people. I feel like that was kind of like, you know, a good way to instead, because sometimes you can get defensive and then it turns into a whole way bigger issue. But words matter. Words do matter. And you use the word in the proper context.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Intention, I think too. Intention matters, yes. And I think that people pick and choose when intention matters. And in this case, my intention was pure. Anyone who knows me and anyone who listened to the context of the song would know that I didn't use it as a slur.
Starting point is 00:52:48 I didn't even use it as a slur. I use it as like an adjective. As the dictionary defined word. You use it right. Hold my bag, bitch. Hold my bag. Do you see this? I'm a spaz.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Yeah. Okay, girl. Okay. Okay. That's my girl. Let's go, baby. Come on. She's right. It's not a slur. It's a word in the dictionary and you use it in this proper context
Starting point is 00:53:09 and words can be used as slurs so that's where it the the nebulous the gray area comes in i didn't use it as a slur and i think that the backlash of you just lost a fan is unnecessary when someone's intention wasn't negative or harmful. They spazzed on you. They did. You don't get me f***ing cancelled. Wait. How do you know these people, I'm not saying that
Starting point is 00:53:35 all of them aren't real, but sometimes people just do things to f*** with you on social media. So how do you know that these are even real people and not like bots? I think that I have a gift of discernment from god and i use it very wisely because every time i get backlash i don't apologize or change things this was a rare instance for me because i did the research i don't think i just go off of what people say i need to look into it for myself and know what I'm doing before I make a big
Starting point is 00:54:05 decision like that because that was a big decision. You're going to be changing the lyrics to everybody's gay because everybody's not gay. The LGBTQ plus
Starting point is 00:54:13 is a whole spectrum. Everybody's gay is not what you think it is. We're happy. Oh, that's what it means? Happiness? See, words matter. See what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:54:22 You see what I'm saying? Words matter. It's up to your interpretation. Yeah, you can interpret. Gay yeah you can interpret that's what you should have told the bus pass i would okay gay is an experience i'm with you gay is a glizzy gay is a brown glizzy with a pink tip that's orion Whoa Isn't that uncircumcised? That's Orion They acted like they didn't see it But they seen it
Starting point is 00:54:48 I haven't seen it We all seen it I haven't seen it Alright we got more with Lizzo When we come back Don't move It's the Breakfast Club Morning everybody
Starting point is 00:54:57 It's DJ Envy Angela Yee Charlamagne Tha Guy We are the Breakfast Club We're still kicking it with Lizzo Yee BET Awards I remember I woke up in the morning And Roe vs. Wade was overturned.
Starting point is 00:55:07 And I know that's something that you've been really focused on as far as making sure that people have money and access to be able to make decisions about their own family planning. Absolutely. I mean, between me and Live Nation, we've pledged a million dollars to plan parenthood and abortion funds. And also over Fourth of July weekend, I was like, yeah, let's celebrate our independence. Anything you buy at Yiddy, that's going straight to abortion funds. All the proceeds go to abortion funds.
Starting point is 00:55:33 So I was born to do this. And once I was ready and in this position to give back, I was like, let's go. It's time. You got that Yiddy on now. I got my Yiddy on. Yiddy chain, Yiddy up, Yiddy down. What's Yiddy mean? Yiddy, that's my nickname when I got my yitty on yitty chain yitty up yitty down what's yitty mean
Starting point is 00:55:46 yitty that's my nickname when I was a little kid okay how'd you get that well my name is Melissa
Starting point is 00:55:52 and my brother could say he said my yitta so my auntie she was like my yitta you said yitty
Starting point is 00:56:00 and so yitty you know in Detroit we all got nicknames so where did Lizzo come from Lizzo was in middle school okaydy, you know, in Detroit, we all got nicknames. So where did Lizzo come from?
Starting point is 00:56:06 Lizzo was in middle school. Okay. So Melissa, you know, in Houston, you would put the O on the end. So it was Lizzo. Yeah, so I have a lot of names, guys. I have a lot of nicknames. Now, since you write your own music, let's talk about some of these songs. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Okay, Break Up Twice. What inspired that? So I had a barbecue at my house and I invited a man and you tell your girlfriend s*** that go down you know, so they always know and then they be mad at him. At this particular barbecue, we got a little drunk and she, I saw
Starting point is 00:56:38 her corner and she was like, if you f*** with her I'm gonna slash your motherf***ing tires. And I was like, oh my god. But I also was like damn, that's real love. You don't got a friend that's going to slash, you know, your ex's tires. Like, is that your friend? Do you have friends? Was he your ex at that time or was he getting back in?
Starting point is 00:56:56 He was getting back in at that time. See what I'm saying? So she just slashed the tires for no damn reason. Knowing you're going to go back. You know what? She didn't slash them tires though because he ain't, he been right ever since. And so I went in the studio
Starting point is 00:57:08 that week with Mark Ronson and I was like, I need to write about this. Like all my songs are about things that happened to me. Literally the first verse talks about the barbecue.
Starting point is 00:57:16 That's hilarious. Somebody dates Lizzo, they have to know that they could possibly be on the song. Absolutely. I'm Black Taylor Swift. I really am.
Starting point is 00:57:24 No questions asked. I'm trifling. But that's what's hard about telling your friends something when things are going bad and then they hate the guy that you're dating and then y'all get back together and they like we done spent all this time see that's why i don't talk too badly about his character it's just what he do i'll be like he's a good person but this is what he did am i tripping and they'd be like you're not tripping you're not tripping do you talk about the glizzy too because sometimes women don't want to talk to their um friends about what it's like but some girls wait why i heard women say that i don't want to talk about how good a guy is in bed to other women because i don't want them to well obviously with your friends they wouldn't want him but i've heard
Starting point is 00:58:02 them say i don't want anybody to know because wow i don't have that fear but it's like okay you kind of got to think analyze your relationship with that friend your friends if you feel like you can't say yeah because the first thing you want to do is like girl let me tell you it was amazing yeah oh my god new fear unlocked have you ever told a friend that with the intent to share have women ever done that like you need to get some of that. I have been in that situation. It was like, it was a d*** yoke. It was like,
Starting point is 00:58:32 highly recommend, five stars, you should try it. Wow. Yeah, honestly. I miss d*** yoke. That happens. There was a real d*** yoke. Yeah, it was. And then they got it canceled. Bring it back. Bring it back. Oh, d*** yoke got canceled, but Pornhub's still around? Come on.
Starting point is 00:58:46 We need something, too. Damn. Let us have D**k Yolk. It is great. What would y'all rating be on D**k Yolk? Depends who you ask, I guess. Some nights might not be such a great night. Oh, d**k.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Early me, I would get about a zero. Yeah, we heard shut up damn now you gotta explain until you now look crazy I'm not explaining nothing you heard from who
Starting point is 00:59:11 his wife told us all that he was terrible so my close your mouth it's not that bad you just asked me to tell her explain I met my wife
Starting point is 00:59:19 when she was 15 I was 16 for the first time when we had sex for the first 10 years I couldn't make an orgasm from, she said,
Starting point is 00:59:26 aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. We were young, but we're good now. 10 years? Can you imagine, Lizzo, could you be with somebody that you couldn't orgasm for 10 years? You would have spazzed, right? Don't do that. Where my manager at? Don't do that. It was 10 years.
Starting point is 00:59:59 We've been married 21, been together 27. I haven't even been with nobody for 10 years. I can't imagine being with somebody for 10 years. That's a long time, yo. You gonna be with this one for 10 years? Woo! Woo! Maybe.
Starting point is 01:00:14 What's his name, E? I can't. I'm not gonna tell. It's out already. Is that how I thought it was? They was on the red carpet. You don't need a red carpet. We haven't done a red carpet yet, by the way.
Starting point is 01:00:25 I just want to point that out. Y'all made it Instagram official. That was a FYC. Why didn't I tag him? You didn't have to. This was a soft launch. Yo, that's hilarious. I have to respect his privacy.
Starting point is 01:00:42 We haven't done a carpet yet. When we do a carpet, y'all gonna know. Then it's official. Y'all gonna know. So Instagram official is not a thing if you don't tag him. Exactly. Wow. Does he keep you laughing all the time?
Starting point is 01:00:51 Because you know that's important. There the smile go. Look at that. There the blush go. He's funny, yeah. He funny. So it might last 10 years. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think a traditional relationship scares me for 10 years, but love is forever. I can love somebody forever. I want to hear more. What does a non-traditional relationship look like to Lula? I don't even like to say words like non-traditional, traditional. What does a relationship look like? It's like monogamy, I think, to me is a little claustrophobic.
Starting point is 01:01:23 I think because there's the rules. I think a love relationship that's not monogamous has no rules. And I think people who do poly and all that stuff, there's still rules. It's like, well, you can see this person, but you can't see this person. I don't want any rules, but that doesn't mean I'm out here
Starting point is 01:01:39 f***ing and ducking and you know what I'm saying? It doesn't mean he is either. It just means that like there's just no expectations. Yeah. And that way the love gets to just be like the main event. Not like the well you were supposed to call me and why aren't you home by like
Starting point is 01:01:56 it's like do what you want to do as long as you love me. That's so interesting to me because I don't think the male ego could ever handle that. I think the male ego is too fragile for that. What do you mean? I just don't think a man could ever deal with his woman being with another man. Another woman, more than likely. That's actually his cuckolds, and they love it.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Yeah, that's wild. Yeah, I think it's on. Snoop, they must have done a lot of therapy. Just not this one. I heard things about him. That's a waste of time. I'm about to spend all this money for 10 years to watch you
Starting point is 01:02:25 never make her orgasm get a discount just these two but what if what if he was like I just want us to be in a monogamy just me and you
Starting point is 01:02:32 I don't want you to do nothing else I want to be with just you well we could still have that and not call it monogamy okay what would you call it
Starting point is 01:02:39 I think it's the label just love it's like I just love you I'm not worried about nobody else I'm not worried about nobody else sexually romantically or. I'm not worried about nobody else. I'm not worried about nobody else sexually, romantically or emotionally. I'm just worried about you. And I think that's what we have, which is the most beautiful, pure thing ever.
Starting point is 01:02:54 So you could be committed to one glizzy for the rest of your life? Maybe this glizzy. OK, OK. We got more with Lizzo when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.

We're still kicking it with Lizzo. Charlamagne? When it comes to reactions, what causes a greater reaction?
Starting point is 01:08:44 Being number one, having a number one song, or being nominated for six Emmys? My reactions are very quiet. Like, I don't go, whoo! I haven't gone, whoo!
Starting point is 01:08:57 about anything in a long time. Really? I think I carry all of my shock and excitement, like, inside. Right, right, right. So even when I got the Emmy call yesterday morning, like, I didn't know what to do next.
Starting point is 01:09:09 And my assistant was like, go outside and scream. I got some roosters in my backyard, and I woke the roosters up. She was like, wake the roosters up for a change. And I was like, I got six Emmy nominations. The rooster was like. That's dope. Everybody's spazzing.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Did any of the roosters ever chase you? This is why I can't be on this show. It's the truth. I'm just trying to tell you the proper context of the word. That is when the word. No, stop using it. No, I'm not going to stop using the word that's in the dictionary. I'm going to just say with Lizzo here.
Starting point is 01:09:35 TikTok, you know that I do not have any control over what this man says or does. TikTok is out of my control. TikTok. No, I disagree with everything. I disagree. Just please keep me out of it. If you're going to come for somebody, please come for them. You talk about Prince and how
Starting point is 01:09:54 Prince was a mentor earlier on. Can you tell us one of those stories for people that haven't heard of you working in the studio with Prince? Because he even was going to EP an album for you before you passed. That's wild. So can you tell one of those stories of you in the studio with Prince? It makes me so sad, actually, thinking and talking about it. I think one of the greatest stories I still have is
Starting point is 01:10:16 I got invited to Paisley Park last minute to see Prince perform on piano. And I walked in and I was like, you think he going to Purple Rain? And he was like, nah, he don't do Purple Rain no more. And then he did Purple Rain. And when he was performing Purple Rain, he started getting emotional and he started crying
Starting point is 01:10:38 towards the end. And then he finished it and he got up and he stormed off the stage and we were like, I was just standing there clapping. And he came back and he got up and he stormed off the stage. And we were like, I was just standing there clapping. And he came back out and was like, I got to put that song in a different spot. Because it was early in the set. Did he say anything to you that empowered you early on? Like made you feel like, man, I can really do this.
Starting point is 01:11:01 Yeah. He said, Lizzo, you're next. You're up next. And then said it in magazines like you know was proud of me was giving me cosigns when nobody was giving me cosigns when i was an indie rapper like that was such a big deal to me i do a lot of things to make prince proud that'd be like six six seven years ago right yeah wow yeah a long time ago so a long time ago. So he wanted to EP your album, huh? Mm-hmm. That would have been crazy.
Starting point is 01:11:27 That would have been crazy. I still have the emails to this day. I look at it sometimes and be like, damn. He never sent a beat or nothing yet. He was just... Yeah, I mean, that's the way it turns because I think,
Starting point is 01:11:35 I wonder what musical direction would Prince have taken Lizzo, right? Like, I really wonder that. Like, I guess that's one of the things we'll never know, but I just wonder. I wonder, too. I think he wanted me to be on my like rap and sing like he wanted to get weird with it like well you know we'll never know growing up as a kid you know your mother was
Starting point is 01:11:56 singing uh gospel music you went into the church so when you started popping and you were cursing and uh-oh what what the mom what did the family think i still don't cuss in front of my mom as you should exactly um but she had songs she had interviews i always have to apologize like i'll be like mommy you know but now that i'm rich she's like girl you better cuss me out bitch like you be like bitch let me tell you right like right here but um yeah in the beginning I was so nervous and scared. I didn't cuss at all. My first projects on Lizzo Bangers, I didn't cuss.
Starting point is 01:12:31 Big Girl Small World, I didn't cuss because I was afraid that my great-grandma would hear me. And one day, I was just like, you know, I got to say what I want to say. If I hold back, you know, I'm going to stay back. So, I told my mom, I was like, when I'm on stage, I'm going to stay back. So I told my mom, I was like, when I'm on stage, I'm going to say some bad words, but it's cool, right?
Starting point is 01:12:48 She's like, it's fine. She don't like cussing because she can't cuss. She's a Virgos. She's bad at cussing. You know what's Virgos? Can't really cuss good.
Starting point is 01:12:56 Are you a Virgo? No, I'm a Cancer. Oh. I'm a Virgo. Sensitive, emotional. You're a Virgo? September 3rd. You cuss?
Starting point is 01:13:03 Yes. It don't sound right, though. It really don't. That didn't sound right. You know how you know it don'trd. You cuss? Yes. It don't sound right though. That didn't sound right. You know how you know it don't sound right? His voice gets high. All you gotta do is go back to an interview with Desus and Mero. And the interview starts off,
Starting point is 01:13:17 pick up the shit and cuss. I forgot he did that. And then you look in the mirror and you're like, that's the best you got? He's not a good cursor. Exhibit A. That's not so bad a cursor. How important a role does faith play in your life?
Starting point is 01:13:36 It's everything. I mean, I grew up in a church of God and Christ, right? I think my anxiety got in the way of my faith for a long time, because if you're afraid, it means you're not trusting in God. I say the Lord's Prayer every single day. Now, I started maybe like during a pandemic, actually, because I was having nightmares. I was going through it because the world and I was also having a lot of personal loss and issues and problems. And I started praying every single day. And it is like the most important part of my day.
Starting point is 01:14:08 It's better than any vitamin you can take. It's sitting back and praying and knowing that you are covered. All right. Well, let's play special right now. And we appreciate you for joining us. But we got to end on a prayer because you talked about you pray before. Thank you, God. And pray every day.

Starting point is 01:14:47 Lord God, we thank you so, so, so, so much every single day for life and life more abundantly, Lord God. I just want to plead the blood of Jesus on every single person in this room, Lord God, and extend that out into this entire building, Jesus. They are covered, Lord God. They are more than conquerors, Lord God, and extend that out into this entire building, Jesus. They are covered, Lord God. They are more than conquerors, Lord God. And I pray that we can go out and conquer the day, Lord God, fearlessly to know that you are with us, Lord God. You are by our side.
Starting point is 01:15:14 Thank you so much, Lord God. Every single day we pray and we love you. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. I'm going to tell you something. Them flu playing fingers is soft as hell. Damn, Lizzo. I didn't want to you something. Them flu playing fingers is soft as hell. Damn, Lizzo. I didn't want to let go.
Starting point is 01:15:29 What can I say? Glizzy grabber. By the way, Charlamagne felt like you copied him with this because he did what he said. Right after the prayer. But guess what? God knows our hearts. God knows our hearts. Charlamagne said he did this first.
Starting point is 01:15:44 I just want to tell you when he was in and he's out. Yeah, you know Charlamagne gave me an ass like that. But no, mine was not. It wasn't a mold. You had a booty pillow? Yeah, it wasn't a mold of my actual butt. It was a mold of his actual ass. No, it was not a mold of my actual ass.
Starting point is 01:15:54 For my birthday. He was like, Lizzo copied me. My ass ain't as fat as the mold. Wait, I'm sorry. What is going on? Lizzo, everybody's gay. For my birthday, he gave me a mold of his ass That is so sweet

Starting point is 01:16:48 Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heat. It's a breakfast club, bitch. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Yes, Donkey of the Day goes to Terrell Christasson of Santa Fe, New Mexico. He's 34 years old. Let me tell you something. The reason I have made my life's work
Starting point is 01:17:09 helping people heal, getting folks to invest in their mental wealth is because of guys like Terrell. See, I'm going to use the word crazy here because I need y'all to understand where I'm coming from, okay? Every day of our lives we are trying to avoid crazy. Not just our own crazy, but the crazy that exists within others.
Starting point is 01:17:25 See, we can't run from ourselves. That's why you have to do the work on yourself so you don't hurt yourself or others, okay? Because when you don't do the work on yourself, you end up projecting that hurt and that pain and that crazy onto other people, okay? But other people we really can't control. We can only encourage. And someone like Terrell definitely needed some encouragement. Let's go to KOAT Action News 7 for the report. Please hear what Terrell did.
Starting point is 01:17:47 Police arrest a man in Santa Fe where officers say he broke into a home, drank some beer, feasted on some shrimp, then took a bubble bath. Police said the homeowner found the intruder inside his home in southwest Santa Fe. The man told the homeowner he needed a warm place to stay, apologized for breaking in, and left $200 on a chair to pay for the window. Terrell Christensen is charged with aggravated burglary, larceny, and criminal damage. Now, see, Terrell Christensen is what you would call a compassionate criminal, a holistic home invader, if you will. Imagine walking in your house and there's someone in there holding an AR-15,
Starting point is 01:18:20 drinking a beer, eating up all the shrimp, and taking a bubble bath. I know that sounds like one of the hardest covers of a rap album you've ever seen, but it's not. This really happened. And then Terrell apologized to the homeowner, saying he just needed a place to sleep. And did you hear what they said he left? Play the news report one more time, Red. Police arrest a man in Santa Fe where officers say he broke into a home,
Starting point is 01:18:43 drank some beer, feasted on some shrimp, then took a bubble bath. Police said the homeowner found the intruder inside his home in southwest Santa Fe. The man told the homeowner he needed a warm place to stay, apologized for breaking in, and left $200 on a chair to pay for the window. Terrell Christensen is charged with aggravated burglary, larceny, and criminal damage. He broke the window and left $200 on a chair to pay for the window before packing up his gun in a duffel bag and quietly departing. Now clearly this man is sick. Clearly this man
Starting point is 01:19:12 needs help. Let's thank God nobody got shot first. Okay? Alright? Let's thank God for that, alright? And by nobody, I mean the owner of the home and Terrell. But I could easily give Terrell the credit he deserves for breaking into the house, drinking a beer, taking a bubble bath, and eating all the scrimps. And I'm going to tell you something.
Starting point is 01:19:28 In my old age, I have grown to have empathy and compassion for people like Terrell because to say you broke into someone's house just because you needed a warm place to stay, that's an act of desperation that I pray I never have to experience. But Terrell, the reason you're getting donkey of the day
Starting point is 01:19:43 is because you left $200 on a chair with a homeowner. The average price of a motel in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it's $98 on a weeknight, $130 on the weekend. I Googled it. Okay? I know inflation is kicking everyone's ass, but you still would have money to get some beer and some scrimps. Okay? Got to be a Bubble Gumps or a Captain D's around Santa Fe somewhere. All right, 12-pack of Bud Light, $10.49 at Walmart.
Starting point is 01:20:10 Get you some kids bubble bath, Mr. Bubbles, $3.99. You don't even have to get the Honest brand bubble bath. That's like $11, $12. Go buy the kids brand, okay, to save some money. Moral of the story is, do you know how much $200 is? All right, you breaking in people's houses, eating their food, drinking their beer, using their tub, and you got money in your pocket? Clearly something is wrong. You know, I know something was wrong with this thoughtful thug.
Starting point is 01:20:32 Well, he didn't get arrested that day. He got arrested the next day after he tried to steal a woman's car at gunpoint at a church's chicken in Santa Fe. All right. The woman told cops she was waiting for her food in the drive-thru line when Terrell pulled up and pulled out and demanded that she get out of the car because he was taking it. And then he ran off when she started blowing her horn. And he was picked up by police when he was spotted walking down a road later that day.
Starting point is 01:20:56 Terrell told police that he had been caught in a blizzard on Sunday and broke into the home out of fear of freezing. And he felt bad about breaking the window, but he refused to speak about the attempted carjacking at church's chicken all right he's not all there all right but he's there enough and the fact he had 200 in his pocket but instead of going to get a motel he chose to break into someone's house and he was charged with aggravated burglary larceny and criminal damage to property for the sunday break-in and an additional aggravated assault charge for the attempted carjacking. Listen, man, yes, everybody has to deal with the consequences of their actions,
Starting point is 01:21:28 but what is jail going to do for this guy? He clearly needs to be getting some type of psychological evaluation and be somewhere, you know, getting some mental health services. But in the meantime, he has to get the credit he deserves for making poor choices. Please give Terrell Christoson the biggest heel. All right. Please give Terrell Christasson the biggest heel. All right.
Starting point is 01:21:50 You want to play a game? Oh, God. Okay, Envy. All right. I guess it's time to play a game of Guess What Racism! And I printed out his picture just in case you wanted to play. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:22:06 All right, I'm ready. Terrell Christasson, 34 years old, New Mexico. Broke into somebody's house, ate up all the shrimps, drank all the beer, took a bubble bath, and left him $200 for the window he broke. Angela Yee, guess what race he is. What's his name again? Terrell. Terrell Christasson.
Starting point is 01:22:30 Christasson. Christasson. Christasson. Oh, that sounds French or something. Can I say that? Oui, oui. We don't have any French drops,
Starting point is 01:22:42 but oui, oui. Oui, oui, right? And then politely left money. That's what you said. Germans have a reputation. Do they? I don't know. French, I said. French have a reputation for being polite. You can't say French? Why not?
Starting point is 01:22:57 We don't have French in the country. I said oui, oui. It's not a race. Oh, well, okay. I've never claimed to be a genius. All right? Actually, you went to college, a genius alright she's the one so you going with white E? I don't know but I don't know any white people named Terrell where you going? you gotta pick one
Starting point is 01:23:15 wasn't Chris the song sign of Rockefeller? Christian like Christian Christian man it's tough for me man I don't know a white person pick one pick a race we know I'm gonna say non-white non-white
Starting point is 01:23:30 that's an option that don't mean black though it doesn't it's just non-white DJ Envy Terrell Christoson 34 years old New Mexico broke into somebody's house ate up all the scrimps. Drank all the beer. Took a bubble
Starting point is 01:23:47 bath and then left $200 for the person. Yes! What? Right he is! Oh, and he had an AR-15. Let me not forget that part. Damn it, man. That's a big clue. That's a big clue. AR-15's a big clue. See, I was gonna go black, right? And I'm gonna tell you why I was gonna go black. I was gonna go black
Starting point is 01:24:03 because you said church is chicken. He went to the church is chicken. He's at church is chicken. He went to the church is to rob a car, not for the chicken. Oh, my bad. But then I don't think if a black person ran into somebody's house, they're going to take a bubble bath. Could be Hispanic. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:24:16 I don't think it. But then you said AR-15. And I think AR-15. That's a white man's gun. I think that's a white man's gun. That's the white shooter. That's right, yeah. Because black people, we got the small gun because we got to tuck it.
Starting point is 01:24:27 We ain't got no... We can't be walking around with a... Could you hurry up and guess what race he is? I'm going white. A white guy named Terrell. I'm going white. I mean, I could be wrong. You are wrong, Angelina.

Starting point is 01:25:18 Call up now for Ask Ye. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angelique. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? This is Mr. B.
Starting point is 01:25:30 I want to remain anonymous, though. But I'm just going to say Mr. B from Dayton, Ohio. All right, man. I can't with you this morning. All right, Mr. D. That wants to be anonymous. What's your question for you? Well, good morning.
Starting point is 01:25:40 Good morning, Ms. Yee and Charlamagne Tha God, my dude. Yo, yo. He's DJ Envy. Yes, sir. How y'all doing? What's up, Mr. D? Listen, Ms. Yee and Charlemagne Tha God, my dude. Yo, yo. He's DJ Emory. Yes, sir. How y'all doing? What's up, Mr. B? Listen, man. Hey, man.
Starting point is 01:25:50 She's my ex-girlfriend right now. But she want to get back with me. But my question is, it's a white girl. She only date black guys. Okay. And we was going to the Taste of Cincinnati on a Saturday morning. So she decided she wanted to drive her car. So I could get in on the driver's side.
Starting point is 01:26:11 And I look on the floorboard, and I see a Black and Mild rapper. You know how they do. Okay, so a Black and Mild rapper with tobacco in it. I don't smoke Black and Mild. She don't smoke Black and Mild. She don't smoke Black and Mild. And I didn't want to accuse her, so I said to myself, maybe one of her girlfriends smoking and left me. So I picked it up and I said, can you explain this to me?
Starting point is 01:26:36 And she hit me with the okey-doke, you know. Oh, it flew in the window. Man, take that on down the road. Oh, man, she lied. I ain't going to fly in the window. I ain't going to fly in the window. And it got tobacco in it. Then she said, well, I got at the gas station,
Starting point is 01:26:48 must have stuck to the bottom of my shoe. I said, ain't nothing sticky on this wrapper. You know what I mean? So, to this day, that's been probably two months ago. To this day, she still ain't come up with no good explanation of how I got in the car. You know what I mean? So, man, we go on down the road to go down to Cincinnati. Now, I'm a hood, dude, from Atlanta.
Starting point is 01:27:08 I'm a hood. And she's suburb. So, I used to hustle before I started driving trucks. I'm a truck driver. So, we got pulled over. Some stuff come up from my past. And they put the handcuffs on me, you know. But all they wanted to do was serve
Starting point is 01:27:26 me a summons to go to court that's it in and out in and out she brought that up and want to break up with me i'm talking about you're gonna get mad with me because i found a black and white rapper in your car and you're gonna bring up some old stuff to break up with me so my question is you think i should you think i should forgive her and get back with her or what? No. It sounds like too much drama. First of all, she lies to you, and you know she's lying, right? Secondly, she... I know she lying. And then she broke up with you at a time that you really, you know, needed her.
Starting point is 01:27:58 You already gave her another chance after she lied to you. Why would you go back? Exactly. You got out. Get out. Okay, okay. That's what I needed to hear. Why were you even considering it?
Starting point is 01:28:12 Because, you know, we've been together going on three years. Now, we done broke up about four or five times, you know, because she, I even went to counseling like Charlemagne said. I went to counseling to be a better man. You know, because I got issues, you know, from, you know, when I was incarcerated, you know, abandonment issues and stuff like that. I'm proud of you, King. Thank you, man. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:28:36 She went to counseling with me. But the final straw was I brought up, you know, I brought it up in counseling. And the counselor tried to tell her how young black men grow up in the hood with no father figure and stuff like that. So she tried to tell the counselor what to do. She made the counselor get off the Zoom. He had to hang up. What? Yeah, it doesn't.
Starting point is 01:28:57 Yeah. This doesn't sound like it's going anywhere for you. Okay. Okay. That's what I needed to hear. I was on like, then she tried to put me in a friend zone. Yeah, it doesn't sound like you have anything too positive to say. Everything you've said to me is all the reasons why you don't want to be with her. I just asked you why you want to go back.
Starting point is 01:29:16 The only thing you could say is because y'all been off and on for three years. That ain't a reason. Yeah, I'm saying, you know, I'm saying I love her, but I don't love her enough to be miserable. I'll put it that way. Okay. Well, you answered your own question, Mr. B. Well, thank you, Ms. G. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:29:30 No problem. That's all. Okay. Charlemagne, you my dude, man. I appreciate you, King. I'm proud of you too, brother. Yeah, man. Keep being a better version of yourself, man.
Starting point is 01:29:39 Keep going to therapy. Oh, yes, sir. Yes, sir. Y'all have a good day, man. I sure appreciate it, man. All right. You too. Ask E. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, hit E now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:29:52 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 Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:30:07 We're in the middle of our C&E. And I just want to say that the guy who called, you know, he just needed to deal with the reality that his woman doesn't want to be with him anymore. Like, you can't diagnose her with mental health issues just because she's told you repeatedly she don't want to be with you no more. Sometimes people just use mental health as an excuse. Well, that's him using that as an excuse for her. That's silly. All right. Well, let's go using that as an excuse for her. That's silly.
Starting point is 01:30:27 Alright, well let's go to the phone line. We have Nate on the line. Nate, good morning. Good morning. What's going on DJ? Andy, Charlamagne, what's going on? What's up, bro? Ask C&E. What's your question? What do you do when you got two wives that you've been with 10 years together that were one for 25
Starting point is 01:30:43 and one for 17. But they're still in competition. Huh. What is that? He has two wives. So he's been married twice. He's been married to one for 25 years. Nah, nah, nah.
Starting point is 01:30:54 But you know the big... You know common law marriage, seven years, right? What? Common law marriage is seven years. Oh, yeah. Okay, okay. So he's been married to one for 25 and the other one seven.
Starting point is 01:31:03 I ain't married to neither one of them because I can't get married unless I change my religion. Wait, wait. So you've been married to one for 25 and the other one for seven. Oh, they both live in the house with you? Okay. Well, that's good. I mean, you should want them to constantly be in competition with talking about, you don't love me, you only love her. Well, that's good. I mean, you should want them to constantly be in competition with each other. Keep them on their toes. You know what I mean? Bro, we got two wives at the house. You win either way. I'm feeling you, big dog. I'm feeling you, big dog. Talk that talk.
Starting point is 01:31:35 I don't see what's the problem. I think you're the best way to get hurt. I think what's going to happen is you put them in competition with each other. It's man hating on you. It's man hating on you. Nope. Nope. No, I'm not putting them in competition. I Envy hating on you. Nope. Nope. I don't see nothing wrong with the competition. I think a little friendly competition is fine. Okay?
Starting point is 01:31:57 Let me ask you a question. How old are you, bro? Big Dog, you're at age 44. 44. So let me ask you a question. You still got enough energy and time for two wives? I mean, Big Dog, when you commit, you all in. If they choose, you know, I put it to you like this. They say, let her make her choice, right? So you tell them, and they know what it is,
Starting point is 01:32:20 and then all you do is bring them together. Now you kind of lose your power because now they feel each other, but then come back to you talking about what one do versus the other. So let me ask a question. Do they sleep with each other? Man, I don't know what nobody do. I just do what I do, big dog. What?
Starting point is 01:32:36 I'm saying, you don't know if the women sleep with each other in the house? Like, y'all have threesomes? I'm saying, but that doesn't really, like, I'll put it to you like this. You know, nah, it's a way to fake it and a way to make it. I mean, listen, if you're faking it to make it, it ain't going to last. You're confusing me. Man, don't talk to me like you no pimp.
Starting point is 01:32:51 I ain't one of your wives, man. Just tell me the truth. Do they sleep with each other or not? I don't know, Big Do. I don't know. They have. All right, they have. They have.
Starting point is 01:32:59 Okay. Viagra, Levitra, Blue Chews, or Gas Station. At 44? None of that, Big Do. None of that. Just a little push-up. Get that blood flow. That's all.
Starting point is 01:33:06 Listen, here's the thing. Competition is very good as long as it's healthy. It's what makes one person scribe to be better. So I don't see the problem with a little healthy competition in the household, sir. When does it stop, though, when they can't get comfortable? Do they ever going to get comfortable? You should never let them get comfortable. He ain't got two eyes.
Starting point is 01:33:23 I don't have two eyes. I ain't got two eyes, bro. You setting yourself up. You got one having a pregnant,'t have two eyes, bro. You setting yourself up. You got one having a pregnant, the other one having a baby. You setting yourself up, bro. Don't listen to him, okay? I am setting myself up, but I made my choice, so I sleep with it. I'm going to sleep with it.
Starting point is 01:33:35 Don't let them get comfortable, King. You do your thing, King. You keep doing your thing until you can't do your thing no more. And when you can't do your thing no more, you call us and let us know about it, okay? I can't wait until you got to take your kid to elementary school or the first day of school and you got two mamas and one daddy and two kids. And you're going to be the envy of all the daddies. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:33:52 What I'm saying to you, I got a grown son. I waited. So, boom, we was rocking. I waited until my son went to college to make another baby. So once I made a baby with one, I got to get the other one a baby for 17 joints. She's going to be like, yo, where's mom at? I don't know what you're talking about. I'm confused. But I do know that competition is good as long as it's healthy.
Starting point is 01:34:12 Keep the competitiveness up between your two sister wives. Is that what they call it? I think so. Something like that. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I don't know what time it is. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee.
Starting point is 01:34:30 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? The club with no breakfast. What's going on? You know that's right.
Starting point is 01:34:42 I got a serious question, Angela Yee, and I need you to give me a serious answer. Okay. Angela, when a man is asked for an opinion on what a woman wears or a new hairstyle or whatever, are we supposed to give you guys the 100% honest to God truth, or are we supposed to tell you what you want to hear? Well, if we're asking you a question, we have to be prepared for that answer. But are you prepared for that answer. So... But are you prepared for the answer?
Starting point is 01:35:08 Let's just say you ask that question with the assumption that, you know, you're going to like the answer. But what if you don't? Would you rather the person lie to you or just be brutally honest? I'd rather you tell the truth, but you don't have to be brutal about your truth, you know? So, you know who your girlfriend is and you know
Starting point is 01:35:23 how she handles things. Some people can take it and some people can't. So it's all about how you say things. You don't have to be like, man, I hate that outfit that you have on. You look terrible and I can see your fupa. You don't got to do all that. But you can be like, okay, I don't think it's the most flattering outfit. I like when you have this.
Starting point is 01:35:40 Let me give you a little bit more detail. My girlfriend tried a hairstyle that I've never seen before. She's never tried it before. So she took a picture of it and sent it to me. And my only response was different. Okay. And she didn't like the different response, right? So all I said was, this is giving predator vibes.
Starting point is 01:35:59 But I wasn't talking about my girlfriend or the way she looks. I was talking about the hairstyle. And she didn't like the fact, she didn't know what predator was. And she Googled it and seen what predator was and i mean i've been in the doghouse ever since well yeah it's probably the way you said it you know she liked her hairstyle you could have said it's not the most flattering i like when you have your style like this better right but you know sometimes because it is like a little trying to be funny make a little jokey joke but she could have been feeling sensitive yeah yeah I'm still in the doghouse. She wasn't feeling that one at all. So
Starting point is 01:36:27 I guess I got to be more sensitive to her feelings, I guess. Right. And look, some women could have laughed that off and be like, oh my God. Okay. You know what I'm saying? But you know your girl and you know she didn't laugh it off. So it's just how you say things. You can get your point across. People always feel like, oh, you got to be brutally honest.
Starting point is 01:36:44 You don't have to be brutal, especially not with your girlfriend. And a hairstyle, you can always change. So it's not something permanent. So you can always tell her what you do like. I think that helps, too. You can say, you know what my favorite hairstyle is that you did when you did this and when you did that. And that kind of lets somebody know what it is that you do like. And be like, hey, look, we all try things.
Starting point is 01:37:02 Sometimes they don't work out. Absolutely. Oh, I thank you. I appreciate that, buddy that buddy all right how would you feel if she was like she didn't like something about i said to her yeah i said i don't came home with haircuts that you ain't like you made me i was supposed to go back to the barber and tell him to pick my hair from the ground and put it back on my head like she didn't like everything i've ever done you know but the way that she expressed it, was it harsh? I mean, it was through text message.
Starting point is 01:37:28 So through text message, you take things how you perceive it, not really how the person wants you to perceive it. So I don't think I was mean about it, but she might have read it in a way that was like, wow, you're being, you know, I'm being mean or I'm being... Right, well, good. It's a great conversation for you guys to have. And it sounds like something she'll get over and move on. But it's also a lesson learned moving forward in the future.
Starting point is 01:37:46 How do you respond to things? She is getting ready for work in the mirror right now listening to me laughing. All right. All right, good. I appreciate it. All right, no problem. All right, have a good one. All right.
