Can't nobody take out. Non-stop entertainment. The Breakfast Club. Wake your punk ass up. Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. Guess what day it is.

Guess what day it is. Hump Day. Yes. Today is Wednesday, Hump Day, middle of the week. I'm excited. I'm happy. You guys. Man, I'm always happy to be alive.

I'm blessed, black, and highly favored. God is good. We breathing. We above ground. What's there happy to be alive. I'm blessed, black, and highly favored. God is good. We breathing. We above ground. What's there not to be happy about? Last night was the first time in five nights that I actually got to sleep in my bed. Why? I'm excited about that.

Well, a couple of days ago, actually Thursday, no, Friday, it actually was, Friday morning, me and my wife were going out. And we got all dressed. I'm sitting in the car, waiting for her in the car. And she's about to come downstairs. And she calls me. She's like, hey, I think you need to test me for COVID. And I'm like, why? She's like, I just sprayed perfume.

And I can't. And I don't smell it. So I'm like, what? All right. So I go upstairs. I test her. She's positive. Now, mind you, we sleep in the same bed.

So I test myself. Nothing. I test all the kids. Nothing. Test the test myself. Nothing. I test all the kids. Nothing. Test the nanny. Nothing. I test the baby. Positive. So now I'm scared. I'm nervous. Baby's six months old. So, you know, the baby can't tell. I don't know what the hell's going on. So I called the pediatrician. I called 9-1-1. I called the, you know, the ER. They're like, well, if she can breathe, you know, it's not a problem. So, you know, we had to pretty much quarantine. Gia and the baby was on one side of the house. Me and the kids were on the other side of the house.

And it was, I would say, daddy daycare because I had to do everything. I had to do my kids' hair, which my kids' hair came out crazy. That's why I saluted all the dads the other day because doing my kids' hair is difficult. You're supposed to alert people when you are around folks that are COVID. Okay? And my iPhone didn't go off and tell me that I was next to somebody who was next to somebody who had COVID. Only if I have

COVID. No, you're supposed to tell people when you encounter folks with COVID. Yeah, when you get exposed. When you get exposed, you are supposed to. Come lock him up, COVID police. COVID police, come lock his ass up. He's been in here all week long and all last week and ain't tell us nothing about this story. Well, it was five days. I told the producer.

Oh, so Eddie knew too. Lock them both up. That's why Eddie got a mask on. Where the COVID police at when you need them? Lock both of their asses up, exposing us to COVID. So I was on one side of the house, she was on the other side for the last five, six days. And last night was the first night I got back in the bedroom,

which was amazing. COVID does seem like it's back. I see people back wearing masks and stuff. But I don't hear the vaccine conversation like I was. You know what I mean? You see COVID rising everywhere, but you don't hear people saying, hey, go get the vaccine, go get the vaccine. But I think that's because of the new variant.

They said the vaccine may not be effective against it anyway. Really? What's it called? The B2K? Not the B2K. What is it called? B2K. Something the B2K. What is it called? B2K. Something like that.

BA5 or something. Yeah. But they also said that, you know, when Gia got her shot, her vaccine shot, she was pregnant with the baby. So that probably helped with the baby not having no real, real problems or real situations. So that was a good thing. I want you and Eddie arrested. But it's out the system.

The baby doesn't have it anymore. Gia doesn't have it anymore. I tested myself again. So we all good. I'm excited. So I was back in the bed last night. Don't try to change the subject. I want you and Eddie arrested. But it's out the system. The baby doesn't have it anymore. Gear doesn't have it anymore. I tested myself again, so we all good. I'm excited. Don't try to change the subject. I want you and Eddie arrested. By the way, they do. They just cleared a new vaccine for COVID, the Novavax one.

So they said that's going to be available in the coming weeks. And they said that uses more conventional technology than Pfizer and Moderna. So they said that might convince people to get vaccinated. Well, I tried to get another booster, and they said I'm not available for another booster, the second booster yet.

They said I got to be over 50. There's still about 26 million to 37 million adults still not vaccinated in the U.S., according to the CDC. At this moment, between herd immunity and vaccines, we should be good. Truth to the matter is they still don't know quite what's going on. That's why this virus keeps mutating. And bro, I've been spending money on these rapid

tests like crazy. These things are expensive. They're not anal swabs. I thought they were free. They're not free in the drug. Where do you get them free? I went to the drug store. They have this whole thing where you can get them for free. Yeah, they send you one box with two in it. I got six kids. You can't get them for free? Yeah, they send you one box with two in it. I got six kids.

You can't get them for each person? No, you got to be over 18, over 21. Oh. Yeah, they cost $9.99 every time I go to the store to get them, and I got to get them by the six. Oh, wow, that's way cheaper than they used to be. Remember, they were like $50 at first? $99.99 now at CVS or Walgreens.

Can the COVID police tell me what's the proper protocol to have Envy and Eddie arrested? Yo, shut up. Since Envy was around, Gia and she had COVID and he didn't tell us. It's got to be a proper protocol to this. We'll figure it out before the show's over. Well, Debbie Brown will be joining us this morning. Debbie Dev should be joining us. Debbie Brown is everything, man.

She's one of the leaders in this mental health wellness space. You know, she's a master well-being educator. She's a certified, what do you call it, modality healer.

And we'll be talking to her this morning. I don't know if you've seen the Amazon show that she's on called Sessions with Deepak Chopra and Draymond Green.

But that's on Amazon right now. Okay. But we'll be talking to my good sister, Debbie Brown, later today, and we got your chance to win tickets to the Black Effect Podcast Festival happening Sunday, August

28th in Brooklyn. It's an opportunity to see a lot of your favorite Black Effect Podcasts live, like the 85 South Show, Horrible Decisions, Reasonably Shady, Food is Drinks, it's all types of good stuff, and we got your chance to win later on in the show this morning. Alright, well let's get the show cracking all types of good stuff. And we got your chance to win later on in the show this morning. All right.

Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, let's talk about this heat wave in the United States. It said there is no sign of slowing down with this heat wave. My goodness. All right. Well, let's talk about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now, yesterday was the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Did you know? I told you I don't watch baseball.

Well, American League beat the National League 3-2. So, to everybody that watches baseball, baseball players make a lot of money. They do. I was born in the 1900s, so I appreciated baseball when everybody was on steroids. It was a much better sport then. All right. Well, what else we got, Yeezy? Well, in case you haven't noticed, there is a heat wave in the United States, and it says there's no sign of slowing until at least through the weekend.

So everybody is saying, please have extreme caution right now. In Boston, the mayor has declared a heat emergency, and that's going to be through tomorrow. There will be at least a dozen cooling centers at facilities in Connecticut. The governor activated the extreme hot weather protocol through Sunday so that will ensure the availability of cooling centers and in New York they're urging residents to stay indoors in the coming days to avoid the dangerous conditions that can lead to heat stress and illness. When it comes to weather-related deaths, heat is the number one reason why that can happen. And in Texas right now, there are 100 units.

And they said 31 have full AC, 55 have partial AC, and 14 have no AC for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. So that's in the prison system. Imagine you're in jail and there's no air conditioning. Yeah, climate change is real. And it's not just America. It's heat waves all around the world. Like Europe is clearly going through it. They're having wildfires and people dying because of the heat. And I don't know, man, I just feel like it's above us now.

Like I think at this point we have to understand that a mass majority of humans are just simply not capable of doing what needs to be done to correct some of these issues. And if these issues can actually be corrected because climate change is here, people. Yeah, it's going to be disgusting. If you got older parents, older neighbors, definitely check on them. Make sure their AC works because it's going to be a hot one. Mm-hmm. All right. And according

to reports, police have arrested several protesters outside of the Supreme Court and they were protesting over the decision to overturn constitutional protections for abortion access. Among those arrested are 17 lawmakers in total, which included Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Now, here they are protesting outside of the Supreme Court. We won't go back! We won't go back!

We won't go back! We won't go back! We won't go back! We won't go back! We won't go back! We won't go back! We won't go back! The charge was for crowding, obstructing, and officers at the Supreme Court told the protesters they were participating in a legal demonstration activity. They advised anybody who didn't want to get arrested to leave,

and that's what sparked the singing and chanting from the group. They then began arresting the demonstrators and collecting IDs and taking pictures of those arrested and they also did bring water to the staging area for protesters to drink. Yeah, I didn't know you could get arrested for protesting outside of the place you work.

You know what I'm saying? It's private property. I guess you have to have a permit. They work there though. Yeah, but it's private property. I think you gotta have a a permit to protest, or you can do it in the street or something. I'm not sure. They arrested them faster than they arrested the insurrectionists, the people who attempted to coup, you know, on January 6th, you know? Yeah. And I mean, the chant, we won't go back.

We already back. Roe v. Wade has been overturned. We're back already. All right. We're back, people. And guys, just to throw it out there, the Mega Millions jackpot is $630 million now. Yeah, I played it yesterday. I spent $10 on the Mega Millions yesterday because, hey, you never know.

All right. The next drawing is on Friday, so you got a little time. I always play Mega Millions and Powerball, though. That's just a habit I have. I've had that habit for years. I play Mega Millions and Powerball all the time. Only play it when it gets over 30. You're a a habit I have. I've had that habit for years. I play Mega Millions and Powerball all the time. Only play it when it gets over a certain 100 million. Nah, I'm not a gambler.

I look at Mega Millions and Powerball as more of an investment than a gamble. A bad investment. I mean, maybe. I be winning money sometimes. I win money a lot, actually. I always win like $4. Yeah, because you don't have to win the actual big jackpot. You could win the small ones.

Yeah, all I win is like a $4. I get $4. I put it back into it. That's it. I'd be appreciative. I'd be like, oh, shoot. I spent $10 and got $4 back? Alright, let me get five more quick picks. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night, I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us. It's maybe their way of creatively

trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. You know what? We tried to connect, but the equipment that we had up here went down, so I couldn't even connect. I tried, though. Happy birthday. Okay. Appreciate that, Envy. What's up, G? What's up, Trav?

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. My name is Ashley. Hey, Ashley. Get it off your chest. He's Ashley. I had a bad morning this morning because... It just started. I have a terrible...

I know I have a... Well, mine started at 3.30 this morning. But I have a terrible fear of rats and I'm late to work right now because I could not leave my house. Because there was two rats under my car. Oh, my God. You know, I was saying that us. I live in my car. Oh, my God. You know, I was saying that yesterday. You must live in Brooklyn. I was standing outside.

Yeah. Mm hmm. These arrests are no joke. I'd be crying and everything. But I did yesterday. I actually contacted 311. I went online and I filled out a report and they actually came the same day and they're going to do some extermination, but you have to keep on keeping on.

Also, if you know your local councilman, you have to contact them to see what they can do about extermination around the area. Where do all those dead rats go, though? The big-ass dead rats after they get killed. Where do they go? It's bad because they're not scared. I be trying to throw stuff at them so they can move and they just be looking

at me. Oh my God, I did the same thing yesterday. I threw one of those flyers from off the steps to try to get one of them to move from next door, and he just was... He just ducked out the way. If this Brooklyn for you, if this was the country, if it was the South or somewhere,

they would tell y'all that y'all can hunt those rats. If it's so many of them, you just take them out yourself. But it's been really, really bad. And I saw yesterday when we were talking about it, a lot of people hit me up and were talking about their cities. They said Chicago is number one with rats. There's a lot of alleys.

I really thought it was Brooklyn. Well, see, Brooklyn, you get a property and it comes with free rats. Now, make sure they're not talking about informants when you do these polls now. You know what I'm saying? What city got the most rats? All right? We're talking about federal informants. But yeah, it's been really, really bad. I feel for You know what I'm saying? What city got the most rats? All right? Yeah, and I think New York is second, though. But yeah, it's been really, really bad.

I feel for you, Ashley. I feel the same way. When it's late at night, when it's garbage pickup day, early in the morning, it's quiet, them rats take over. Don't you get a cat? If you get a cat, don't that kill the rats or something like that? Rats be bigger than the cats. They really got a list called the rattiest cities.

Hello, who's this? What's number one? Good morning. This is Stephanie B. Calling from North Carolina. Hey, Stephanie B. What up? Get it off your chest.

Good morning, DJ Envy, Angelou Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God. What's happening? Good morning. I'm originally from the Bronx. I'll be heading there this weekend. My aunt passed away on Tuesday. Oh, sorry to hear that. Sorry. Send my condolences to my family.

So shout out to the Mayors and the F family. May you rest in peace, dear Dolores. Absolutely. How are you guys, though? We bless Black and highly favored. You know, it's a Wednesday. We live in. My condolences to you and your family.

Thank you. Well, you guys made my day. You guys have a good day. All right, you too. That is true. They say they put feral cats in neighborhoods. They put 10 to 15 feral cats

in neighborhoods every month to fight the rat problem. That's what they do in Chicago. I mean, that's what I heard that they do. What if they just play like Tom and Jerry used to do? What do you mean?

Maybe the cats don't actually attack the rats. Maybe they just, you know. Oh, what's happening? I think they were going at each other. Then they just play with each other. Tom and Jerry, right?

Yeah, but they never was trying to kill each other, though. Well, Tom was trying to kill Jerry, but Jerry just, he couldn't kill Jerry. I think he just really liked to play with Jerry. That was a lot of flirting going on when you think about it. What? Yeah, New York is number three on the list. Number one is Chicago, then LA, then New York, then D.C. Wow.

posted, thrilled to announce that Netflix is the home for the next original stand-up special from the groundbreaking, trailblazing and iconic Monique. So congratulations to both of them for working that out. That's right. Now y'all got to support and watch it when it drops. Here was when Monique

was on The Breakfast Club. have you received other offers from other screaming services other places period let me say this because doesn't that help with negotiations when you because of that black ball being put over my head and how difficult and demanding I am and how difficult my husband is the offers that come in from Netflix they can come in low like that because they know you've been blackballed. You know what the word is about you. So we assume that you're suffering and we can offer you whatever we want to offer you.

So the offers have come in even lower than that. You had a Netflix special beforehand though, right? Well, I didn't have a Netflix special. What happened was... They took the one and put it on the... Exactly. I didn't make any deal with Netflix. All the blackballs are gone. Don't feel sorry about that envy envy i know you like all right now amber rose was recently on the higher learning podcast and she was talking about she's the person

that put nikki minaj on kanye's song monster i have a good ear i've A&R'd a bunch of amazing projects. I put Nicki on Monster. I put Nicki on Monster. He didn't know who Nicki was back then. I had Nicki pull up to the studio and I put her on Monster. So he didn't listen to anything that she had done. She just pulled up and like with that verse. Well, she pulled up and we all had a conversation. She heard the song and then she came back the next day with the verse. And he almost wanted, he wanted to take the verse off. Cause it was too good.

He's like, how the did you bring in a bitch that killed me on my own song? I feel like when she did Masa though, she was pretty well known. Oh no. Cause her album hadn't come out yet. Cause I feel like she was, she was, she was popping in hip hop. She definitely, I mean, it's hard. It's hard for me to believe Kanye didn't know her, especially, no, because our album hadn't come out yet. No, because I feel like she was... I mean, she was popping in hip-hop. She definitely... I mean, it's hard for me to believe Kanye didn't know her, especially, you know, with Kanye's association with Drake at the time.

Well, maybe he didn't know she got that busy at the time. That's what I think. You know what I mean? And maybe Amber Rose was like, no, you need to get Nicki on the record. I don't know, though. Nicki was killing stuff by then, by the time Monster came out.

That's what I think. I mean, she was pretty big. She said he didn't know who she was. Maybe, though. I find that. But just like Lil Wayne. How many times Lil Wayne said, you know, I'm time Monster came out. That's what I think. I mean, she was pretty big. She said he didn't know who she was. Maybe, though. But just like Lil Wayne. How many times Lil Wayne said, you know, I'm in my own world. I don't know who some of these artists are. That's what I'm saying. Kanye is on another planet. That's possible. But I believe Amber when she

said she helped put Nicki on the record. Because women are the real tastemakers. Because most of what men do is for women. A lot of things men do is to impress women. What's that song Hov had back in the day? Power to pee. You know what I'm saying?

I can't say the whole word. But, yeah, it's the truth. Well, Nicki definitely had the strongest verse on Monster. It's not even close. Sure did. It's not even close. That's the part we remember. I don't even think they played no other verse.

Uh-uh. Especially in the club. Right now, a 23-year-old man who tried to claim that Drake was his father, allegedly, was arrested. And that is for trespassing on the grounds of the mansion that he acquired earlier this month. This is according to a report from TMZ, citing sources with the LAPD. So the incident happened on July 15th, and the man was spotted near the pool house at the residence near Beverly Hills. They said he never made it inside the mansion,

but responding offers questioned him and he said that Drake was his dad. How old is he? 23 and Drake's 35. Drake is 35. See, I like when niggas try, but they got to really try, at least make it realistic.

You got to say something outlandish. Jesus Christ. You can't be lying. You wouldn't. Jesus Christ. You can't be lying. You wouldn't just say that. You can't be 23 years old talking about you and Drake's son. Say his brother. Yeah, brother. That's my cousin.

Brother or cousin. But son? Come on, bro. What if Drake really is his dad? Yo, is that 12? All right. And lastly, you know, rest in peace to Jack Knight. The cause of his death has been determined.

The comedian writer he co-created and co-starred in the Peacock series bust down with Sam J. And, you know, they're saying now that he died after suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. His family did confirm the news of his death on Saturday. He was only 28 years old. Jesus. So again, Who's that again? We give our condolences to his family and friends. Jack Knight, he's a comedian and a writer. Okay.

Rest in peace. So one more time, yes. And that is your rumor report. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. Now we got front page news. Next what are we talking about? Why are you whispering? The House of Representatives passed a bill yesterday to codify the right to same sex and interracial marriage

I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change.

You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure.

You weren't running around talking about whispering. It can get sticky. What the hell does that mean?

That's what Drake says. I didn't listen. I feel like you would. Would what? I feel like he would let you. Oh, if it's sticky? I think so. But let's get into some front page news.

Where we starting? All right. in some front page news where we starting all right well the house of representatives yesterday passed a bill to codify the right to same-sex and interracial marriage this is all after the supreme court's reversal of roe versus wade and so here is nancy pelosi speaking about the legislation for the respect for marriage act bipartisan and bicameral legislation to enshrine into law a fundamental freedom, the right to marry whomever you choose. As radical justices and right-wing politicians continue their assault on our basic rights, Democrats believe that the government has no place between you and the person you love. The yeas are 267 and the nays are 157. The bill is passed.

So it still has to go to the Senate, but 47 Republicans joined every Democrat in the majority. Now, Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, who's a Republican, spoke against the legislation. Here's what he had to say about it being unnecessary and wrong to take up this bill. Speaker of the House just said, quote, Republicans knew Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional when they passed it. Did the 118 Democrats who voted for that legislation know the same thing? Did the president of the United States, President Clinton, when he signed it into law, did he know it was unconstitutional?

The chairman of the full committee is right. This legislation would, in fact, codify Obergefell. But what it would also do is reverse the law in 35 states where those states have said marriage should be traditional marriage. In in fact in 30 of those 35 states the people of those respective states went to the ballot and voted for that well times have changed sir yeah but it's not going to pass in the senate you know i mean so you might as well already prepare yourself for the supreme court to overturn same-sex marriage at some point like you have a 6-3 conservative majority in the Supreme Court. The only thing that's going to keep the Supreme Court from continuing to roll back, you know,

rights is to expand the Supreme Court. If they're not willing to get rid of the filibuster so they can properly legislate, so they can do things like expand the Supreme Court, then get ready for the Supreme Court to keep taking away basic rights. It's going to happen. It's inevitable. Now, at least a dozen of the electors, the Republican electors who falsely certified Trump as the victor of the 2020 election in Georgia

are now subjects of criminal investigation. At first, they were just being subpoenaed, but now it seems like they're being indicted. And so they're saying that this could indicate that perhaps there might be a broader legal effort to actually try to bring some criminal charges against Donald Trump. Now that they've switched from subpoenaing these people to actually indicting them. I believe it when I see it.

Once again, I've been saying it for the past couple of weeks since they've been doing this January 6th, you know, these January 6th hearings. If they do not prosecute Donald Trump, then this is all for nothing. Literally, like it's literally all for nothing. Now, these 16 people, right, may be indicted in this probe. And they said each of these 16 people who signed the unofficial elector certificate ultimately submitted to the National Archives received a similar target letter alerting that person, both that his testimony was required by the special purpose grand jury and that he was a target

of the investigation and not just a witness at this point. So that status has changed from witness to target. And that's the result of new evidence. And that should be a crime, right? If you just give a fake elector certificate saying

that Donald Trump won, even though you knew that it was fake. False election documents should be a crime. Yeah, you know, don't y'all feel like it's quiet around the January 6th hearings, though? Like, even though, you know, you see it on the news and people are talking about it, like, I actually feel like it should be

a lot more noise around it, and I feel like people should be in the street demanding that Merrick Garland, the head of the DOJ, prosecutes Donald Trump. Because they already said they got enough evidence to charge him with things, right? Well, they absolutely need to. So that's why we got to keep on talking about it

too. Let's treat it like Sesame Place. Let's treat it like Sesame Place. Let's pretend Merrick Garland is under the Rosita costume and we need to raise hell about Merrick Garland is under the Rosita costume, and we need to raise hell about Merrick Garland being under that Rosita costume and not prosecuting Donald Trump. We need him to prosecute Donald Trump.

We need to be raising hell about him doing just that. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Because it's not all of this is for nothing. Now, when we come back, Debbie Brown will be joining us. Man, the good sister, Debbie Brown. I don't know if you've seen the sessions on Amazon

with Deepak Chopra, Debbie Brown, and Draymond Green, but it is phenomenal, and it is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month, so Debbie Brown is a leader in that space. She's a master well-being educator. She's a certified energy healer and a lot of other things. And we'll be talking to my good sister next.

All right, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. That's right. This divine being having a human experience. Master well-being educator. You want me to keep going? Yeah. Oh, she has many teaching certifications.

I thought you were more peaceful the way you're saying it. She has many teaching certifications, including meditation, breath work, inner child healing, and spiritual psychology. She's an energy healer. She hosts and leads many spiritual retreats a year. She teaches and guides daily meditations on the Chopra app. She advises on well-being and teaches mindfulness for several corporations. She's an author of a book called Crystal Bliss. And she hosts a podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network called Dropping Gems.

It's my good sister. Hold on. And she has a four-year-old that is taller than Charlamagne. That is a fact. Debbie Brown. Most important. That's my godson. What are youyear-old that is taller than charlemagne that is a fact that's my godson what are you talking about he's taller than you he is your question is a big little boy that is a fact yes welcome uh good morning good morning how are you debbie oh i'm incredible this moment in time is a lot but it's also there's magic in it for all of us. People say, what are you talking about? There's monkey pox.

There's COVID. We're in a recession. Incent rates are at an all time high. But you still find the positive out of it. Life is both. The human experience, we're always oscillating between these two ends of the spectrum, joy and grief. The viewpoint I have of it and something I really had to come into in the pandemic was the moments that feel like joy. I have to let myself feel all of it because life is hard. There are times when people feel guilty, too, because they may be experiencing a lot of positivity, but there's so much going on around you that you don't feel like you can even celebrate

that. Yeah. And I think it's important, important to because that's what allows us to sustain. The thing we've all gotten so wrong about the human experience is like everyone thinks that the goal is always supreme happiness and that if it's not that, then those are the periods of your life you don't really sit with or look at or talk about. But we need the grief. We need the pain just as much as we need everything else. So, you know, even in the midst of the moment of time we're having now where everything is crazy, I wake up every day and I'm just like, but how can I fuel my fire? How can I keep that internal oven inside of me just constantly going for myself, for my life, for my child? Can we go back to like almost the beginning? Right. Because when you think of devy dev you a lot of us probably know devy dev from radio you know i met you at k-day in la in like 07 and you know you were on sway show but it's like you've always been this spiritually

connected person when do you when do you like first remember that like connection to a higher power so many things play into that i think by, I'm an only child raised by a single parent, which is a certain kind of experience that kind of keeps you in your head a lot. So I think that was a piece of it. But I've always just been fascinated by transformation of any kind. Like, I was definitely reading self-help books as a little girl. I was just so interested in what made people themselves, but also what kept people from becoming themselves. Now, one time you decided to give this all up, right?

You were very successful doing radio. You were in Houston. They were talking about syndication. You were talking about moving back to L.A. And then you said...

You were one of the best radio personalities in the country. I mean, still one of the best personalities, but you were on the radio as one of the best personalities in the country. And then you said you were one of the best radio personalities in the country. I mean, still one of the best personalities, but you were on the radio as one of the best personalities in the country. And then you said,

thank you. I'm done with this. Well, what made you say, you know what? I don't want to do this anymore. What was the truth? I said like that.

Why are you clinching yourself like that? You need to hear this this morning. You know, it was a couple of things. I think the amazing thing about the show that y'all do is you guys have established something so rare and different than has ever been, I think, in broadcasting. And you guys get to show up as your full selves at work.

You get to have the conversations that matter to you. Where I was when I was doing radio, that had started becoming so closed off. You know, at one point when I was working in radio, I was able to have meaningful conversations. Like I went viral with Kanye, went viral with Kendrick talking about mental health. And then, you know, the powers that be, they just say talk less. You know, where I used to have a talk break where I could really connect. Do that in 11 seconds. I just felt like I wasn't able to use this gift of communication at the level that God really commanded of me,

at the level that felt fulfilling to me. I wanted to have more adventure. At that point, I knew spirituality was the leading journey and mission for my life. And so I just said, I have to invest everything about myself into that. I remember you telling me that, you know, years ago, you was just like, you know, therapy is great and I'm glad you're in therapy, but you need more than just therapy to transform your life. Like what is, what exactly does that look like? So even with therapy, there's so many different kinds of therapy. And I think a lot of people, especially now, cause we're just so new to all of this, everyone goes to cognitive therapy, which is kind of like the standard talk therapy.

For some people, that is actually not the best option. Depending on what you are coming to the table with, you may need somatic therapy. You may need all these different styles. But the piece about therapy is it keeps you in your head. It helps you understand yourself and the things that have happened, and it gives you the language to talk about it. But it doesn't always give you the opportunity to live this new knowing. At that point, it can be really powerful to invite in spiritual practice or a self-care practice so that you are applying acceptance to yourself. You're applying loving to yourself. You know, it's one thing to know everything, but to know everything and still love yourself, to know everything and come into compassion for the

people that have harmed you. It takes many different processes. I want to talk about your prime show sessions. Yes. Yeah had Draymond Green on. Now, in particular, so you're talking about the mental well-being and also being able to focus, right, with Draymond Green. Why, in particular, do you think athletes need to focus on something like this? And how do you think it helped them? What I think is so important about that, not just from the athletic lens, but from the masculinity lens. Like, I think this is really a moment of divine masculinity, of men's transformative healing, of men's kind of awakening. How receptive was he to this? Like so receptive. He came in and it was just a it was just a joy and a privilege to work with Draymond because he is so smart, so self-aware already.

And he came in saying, and if you watch the show, Deepak asked him, where are you at on an emotional level from one to 10? And I think he said he was a four. And then Deepak said, well, then you're suffering. And he came into the experience like, okay, how does this work? Tell me X, Y, and Z. By the later part of our sessions, when we were meeting, he was like, OK, so I've read this book. I've read this book. I've read this book. I understand it like this.

And he was just really ready to feel things that maybe he hadn't felt before. I want to get back to the sessions on Amazon, but I want to talk about the connection with Deepak because I call you Tupac Chopra. Right. And so to see you and Deepak actually working together now was like surreal in a lot of ways how did that connection happen oh my god so it really started where I was burned out I was working in radio like we talked about I was in my 20s and I ended up getting shingles which is highly painful for anybody that's had it but it's also specifically something you don't get to like your 70s and your 80s I had it it in my 20s. And so this was like, you know, 10 years ago. And I went online and I just typed in like, detox, help, retreat, something. And the first

thing that popped up was a photo of Deepak. And it was for his health center. And so I ended up going on a 10 day detox retreat and it changed everything about my life. And I ended up doing so many of the programs that Chopra offered, which eventually led me to do their teacher training program and get certified in meditation. And so our relationship was really just growing and building. And when Chopra Global launched about two years ago, I ended up coming on board as their chief impact officer and leading some of their initiatives. All right, we got more with Devi Brown when we come back.

So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Devi Brown. Charlamagne?

What are some other ways to create healthy boundaries? The first part is you have to become really aware of yourself and who you are. I think a lot of this boundary conversation tends to tilt into using boundaries as more of a wall. When I hear people talk about boundaries, even on social media, I think we have to really upgrade our understanding of why we don't have them to begin with. You know, it's like everyone's like no i'm gonna have boundaries and anybody that doesn't have my boundaries like you're cut out of my life and people don't want to respect your boundaries and there's such this like harsh judgmental view and the thing is the people in our lives that are trying to climb over them

don't understand what they are either which is why they don't even apply them to their own selves. So I think on the journey of finding boundaries, we always have to try to steep it in overall compassion and non-judgment. A lot of us are doing things for the very first time. A lot of us have just heard about boundaries for the very first time. And very often, if you don't have boundaries already, it's because different things happened in your life that led you to kind of disregard yourself in certain ways or not think that you have the right or the worth to choose yourself first. Are you born with boundaries and then they get torn down at some point or we never have them and we have to learn how to build them? One of the reasons that I most often work with and

see in our childhood, certain things have to happen for us to become the best version of our adult self. There has to be certain kinds of role modeling in place of behavior. There has to be role modeling of care, of understanding, of listening, of language. If we have experienced certain emotional neglect or traumas, big T or little t, it affects the way your core identity is established. Your core identity is established in childhood. That is the piece of you that isn't the roles you play, but it's the piece of you that thinks that you're worthy, that thinks that you have rights, that knows that your emotional life matters. If you're not given that opportunity to

grow that in a safe way, you don't know how to set boundaries because you don't understand yourself, your own needs. You don't understand what you require. And sometimes things bad happen to you or people burn you and then you're like, OK, moving forward, this is how I have to move. Absolutely. And I think when that stuff happens in our adult life, even still, it usually comes down to an original wound that happened in childhood. There was something in the dynamic with the child and the caregiver or whatever adults may have been present where their needs were not looked at and you maybe had to please the person that was caretaking for you to get what you needed. And so then in your adult life, you find yourself repeating those patterns in so many different ways and friendships and relationships and the jobs that you choose and the way that your dynamic with your boss and your coworkers is like it permeates everything about your life. There is nothing more important than childhood. So how do you base your circle now? Because

there's going to be some people that are into the things that you're into, some people that don't care about it, Some people that don't believe. So how do you keep your circle? Do you keep those people that are not in your circle? Or do you set up those boundaries where it's like, all right, well, if you're not believer, I'll wait for you to be a believer to be in the circle. So how do you go about your normal day? I don't think people have to be believers. Like, I'm not looking to convince anyone.

And I'm OK if we are not aligned in our beliefs, but I have to prioritize what is actually nurturing my own life. First, I would say this. All of us hold on to too many people for too long. There's not really the room for that. And so over the last two years, like i've massively shed in my life and some of them were highly intentional like friendships that were misaligned because of character because of integrity because of choices how were those conversations like so let's say there's somebody in your clique you need to have a conversation because they're not following the same journey that you're following you just don't want them around you, honestly. So how do you have those conversations? So if you're me, you just have them. I'm not taking other people's misdirected emotions

personally. So if someone is upset in our conversation, that's not going to rock me. And I'm also not going to take on a lot of guilt about it. I trust that my choices are made in integrity. But, you know, you have to be direct, but you also have to know yourself to be direct in a way that it's actually healing and beneficial not you know when people use that term brutally honest or I keep it real real is relative your real is based on your life experience and it could be completely fraudulent to someone else based on how they recognize real so I think there has to be a certain amount of self-awareness in yourself

before you have that conversation. And it's important to come into a space, if possible, of more neutrality so that you can walk away from something with lasting peace. So as a friend, let's say Nick, the camera guy, let's say, do you guide him first of what you think of being a friend?

Like, hey, Nick, I think that you're doing this too much I think you need to fall back and look at this or is it one of those things like bro You're not going in my direction. I gotta go When I started noticing that some friendships felt misaligned or non-reciprocal in the ways that were important to me I just made a mental note and I told myself that I was going to slowly observe it So you could do that in a way of saying i'm going going to give somebody three strikes or three chances. But I just started slowly observing and still interacting with the person, how the flow of our relationship was, how often did we talk? Were they able to show up for me? Was I showing up for them? And I just watched it over the course

of a year. So I started just observing people from afar, noticing things, keeping mental notes. And then I really prayed about it. I set prayers. I set intentions around it. Lead me to the aligned friendships and partnerships. Allow me to remove with ease any friendships or connections that are not serving or misaligned. Once that was done and I started really saying,

okay, yeah, that's not a fit. I just called people up directly and I was like, hey, I want to talk to you about our friendship. I want to talk about our relationship. And I said, I just want to let you know, I don't have a lot of judgment around you or this, but I need to share how I'm feeling. I usually had supporting examples of, this experience happened. This is the way it made me feel. What are your thoughts on that? Some people in my life said, thank you so much for telling me this. I felt something changing between us.

I never saw that. I didn't even notice I was doing that, but you're absolutely right. I'm sorry. We were able to rebuild. Some people, it's just like, okay. All right, one. All right, for sure, you know, or F you. Like, okay, but da-da-da-da-da-da. we were able to rebuild some people it's just like okay all right one all right for show you know or f you like okay but so i think walking into setting boundaries walking into shedding people you have to also walk in with a confidence of it's okay if i lose them it's okay if they

don't understand and it's also okay if they blame me none of that has anything to do with me you know you know i thank god for you daily i tell you this all the time but it's just like our relationship it's never been a time we didn't share information so no it's never been a time we didn't have you know deep conversation it's just like things evolved it went from yo charlamagne listening to this nipsey hustle bullets ain't got no name or arguing about kendrick lamar you know what i mean to read deepak chopra's Seven Spiritual Laws. Like it just seemed effortless the whole time. Yeah.

And is that what you should look for, I guess? Absolutely. Like, and I love us as a case study of that because we've been friends for now like 15 years and we've seen each other at so many junctures of the journey. But what we always had was non-judgment. We always had an openness. We always had an ability to talk things through. And I think you don't want to just hold on to people because of a length of time or this like false sense of loyalty, which no one actually has a real definition for that word. Like it changes with everyone. You have to really look

at like what is kind of doing life with a friend? Can we go six months without talking? Cause we're both in a different place and then come back together. I think we should be allowed to, but yeah, being able to kind of just evolve as equals at every step is what I look for in friendship. And I'm also okay with things not having to be that deep. There's some people in my life, I trust them to be themselves. And I show up as myself and I give them what they can handle of me. You don't pray about me every day. I was like, what is Envy thinking over there?

I do thank God for you. I thank God for this whole situation. This situation changed our life. We're open. We're deep. I just want to know why. You never told me that. You're projecting.

Don't be so guilty. That's what I hear. I hear wounds. You don't me that. You're projecting. Don't be so juicy. That's what I hear. It's like, I hear wounds. You don't say it. Envy, I love you. I appreciate you. I thank God for you. He does tell you that.

Turn over and let me see where the blood is. I hear a wound talking. All right, we got more with Debbie Brown when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Debbie Brown. Charlamagne? Let's talk about how a person can build a daily self-care, like spiritual practice routine to start healing and changing their life. How does a person do that? Oh, this is the most important thing. So you have to make it sustainable so that it actually becomes your lived experience and not just something you speak but are not acting or living.

And so what you want to do when you're building a practice, first, identify how much time you have. I know a lot of people work really hard and have a lot of responsibilities. So even if only five minutes is possible, please try to gift yourself with this. But if you can be more expansive and spend 30 minutes, spend an hour, that could be really powerful. What you want to do is you want to build your daily practice around the four pillars of wholeness, which is mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. You want to find something to do every day that falls in one of those categories. For mental, that could look like journaling. It could be, wow, I noticed that I

keep thinking about this one thought every day. It helps to build or reestablish your intuition, which is also something that a lot of people lack because they so often go against what their gut tells them to do. That's the mental category. Looking at the emotional category, that could be meditation every day, really coming into a space of knowing how to be with yourself, how to meet yourself, how to remember all of who you truly are outside of the roles that we play in life, outside of the things that have happened to us. You look at physical for some that's a workout, but that could also look like a daily stretch practice. That could look like yoga. That could look like remembering to massage your own shoulders

at the end of the night because you're aching and you deserve your own touch. And then if we look at the spiritual category, that could really look like affirmations every day, speaking life over yourself. And let's take it a step deeper than, you know, some of the ones of like, I am abundance or I am love or I am strong. Really call forward what you want to embody. You know, one of my first affirmations in my healing journey was I'm a precious child of God leading from my heart center, working in mastery of my being. Saying that over myself every day changed me. So doing something every day that supports who you are and who you're becoming and who you have become is essential. It also teaches you emotional regulation, which means that every day

you can go into the world as your true self and not as the version of you that's constantly reacting to things. What does self-acceptance look like? Deep surrender and deep trust. To accept yourself means that you are aware of all that you are, including the things that may be a little bit unfinished or the things that you may have judged, but to know that it all serves purpose. To have acceptance is to also have this trust that I may not like everything that's happening right now or that has happened to me, but I do understand and trust that it is serving a purpose I don't yet know. And so I am an acceptance of what currently is. Doesn't mean you don't want it to change. Doesn't mean it doesn't have the potential to change. Is that the first step to beginning to love yourself? How do you begin to love yourself?

I think they're kind of both happening at the same time, but I will say, you know, to love yourself, it's a constantly evolving process, but I think it does require that daily practice that I talked about. Loving yourself can't be related to how really you look, how other people are validating you or not, how they're treating you. It has to be like, I exist and that's enough. And that alone is worthy of love. The action I want to ask is like, you know, I know we have a lot of people listening right now. They might've seen the sessions. They, you know, probably listen to dropping gems. I want to do like a mindfulness minute. Like what's a, what's a breathing exercise or something that we could do to like just ground people right now in this moment

i would love to are you guys all gonna do with me sure okay i want to ask everybody right now listening connecting to the sound of my voice come into a relaxed state with your body and i want to invite you to gently close your eyes let your spine feel straight and supported. Release any tension that may be in your shoulders. Maybe turn your palms upward into a state of receiving. Unclench your jaw if there's any pressure present. And now let yourself just stretch your neck a little bit from side to side. And now let's connect to our breath. First begin to notice how your natural breath is feeling in your body. And now I want to invite you to take your right hand and place it over your chest, right at your heart center. And now just notice what that pressure of your hand feels like.

And now we're going to begin some deep breathing through our noses. We're going to do some big inhales through our nose and then out of our nose. And we'll do this three times together. And what we're looking to do is take a big, deep inhale, slowly, fully, starting now, filling your chest and really stretch, taking a little more air and then hold the air at the top once it's in. And now as we breathe out of our nose, I want you to do it slowly and fully. And now we'll begin that breath again in through your nose. Let your chest expand, your heart open, hold it and release.

And now begin again in through your nose and hold it and release that breath. And internally right now, silently to yourself, I'd like you to repeat, I am calling forward my highest self. And I want you to think about something currently present in your life. It could be perceived as good, as challenging, but something that you've really been chewing on lately, some dynamic maybe in your life or relationship or something you're excited about. I would just want you to hold that seed in your mind's eye and I want you to think about any nourishing or evolutionary choices or lens of perceptions that you can shift to around whatever this morsel is that you're chewing on. Is it about surrendering? Is it about an

action step? Or is it just an observation, something that can be released? I want you to think of an intention around it. And maybe it is, my intention is to release this. Or my intention is to really feel all of this, or my intention is to manifest this, and silently within your own hearts to yourselves, I want you to state that intention. My intention is, and now we're going to do a cleansing lion's breath, which is going to be a deep inhale through your nose, and then it'll be followed out by sighing it out through your mouth with your tongue out. And it'll sound a little like this. So we'll begin our inhale now through our noses. And release through your mouth.

And now shake out your hand that was on your heart. Allow it to drop back down to the tops of your thighs. And as you feel ready, gently open your eyes. I could have went to sleep just now. And you know that experience that we just did? If everyone could start and end their day like that we probably spent maybe a minute there right that is a daily practice what we just did that was breath work so that's an experience that you can invite into your life to regulate your nervous yes because

what was happening internally as we did that was our body was able to come into the present moment. If you're under deep stress or you have had trauma, you don't feel present in your body. And so to just be able to settle into yourself and then to give yourself that nourishing breath that resets your emotional center, it changes what's possible. The thing about trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, it limits what's possible in your life about trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, it limits what's possible

in your life because it limits the choices you make and how you view yourself. Well, thank you so much, Debbie. Debbie Brown. Tell them where to follow you, Deb. Hit me on Instagram at Debbie Brown, my website, Debbie Brown, and on Amazon Prime Video, watch

On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night, I would dream that my face was quote-unquote normal or back to the way it was and I'd wake up and there'd be no change.

I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like this social R&D engine of our culture. That they're something that looks like a risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Debbie Rapp. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Angela Simmons. It's about time. We're going home. Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

All right. Well, Angela Simmons was commenting on embracing her natural body and not editing out any quote-unquote imperfections. It was Miami Swim Week, and there were a lot of models out there, and she was modeling for a MAC collection. And here's what she had to say. Not feeling good in who you are affects everything that you do. And for a long time, that stopped me from wanting to do other stuff. And I was so

young, and I had so many journals on how I felt about myself. And eventually I got a real grip on what it was and how I had control over who I am. It's so important to love who you are, regardless of what everyone says is cool for the moment. Your body's not a trend, it's your temple. And so I challenge everybody today tomorrow whenever it is look yourself in the mirror hug yourself you really gotta love yourself

because once you love yourself you're not seeking validation from no one else you know that's right your first last and best love is self-love that's why you gotta look in the mirror and say good morning gorgeous drop on the clues boss mary j blige i said in the mirror sir i said look in the mirror and say, good morning, gorgeous. Drop on the clues box for Mary J. Blige. I said in the mirror, sir. I said look in the mirror and say good morning, gorgeous. All right, stop hearing what you want to hear. Thought you was talking to me. Anyway, I thought she looked really good.

So shout out to Angela Simmons for embracing herself. And she was like so many altered bodies that people forget and don't appreciate natural bodies when a person commented. And so, yeah, i think it's true i think also people see a lot of things photoshopped and feel like that's what i have to look like and you know it's not realistic so there you have it all right now police have solved a string of violent home invasions that have been targeting celebrities across atlanta four suspected gang members are in custody, and that's in connection to at least 15 home invasions over the past year. One of those people is Marlo Hampton from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and she said she was watching on her security system. Here's what she said.

I heard the boom when I heard my nephew scream, and I knew that scream was a scream of fear. My heart dropped. She said she went into a panic room and called 911 and then they kicked in the door and they fled because they heard her yelling. That's what she thinks happened. Now, the police did get there quickly and she thanked God for that. But she said, be aware if you are posting, if you have luxury items, just be careful. But according to Sandy Springs Police, they said officers took down four alleged members of that gang Sunday morning as they attempted a home invasion at a townhouse occupied by the mother of one of the children of Future.

So got to give them all at least a quarter, at least a quarter. What? 25 years? Absolutely. The investigation has been going on for at least a year now. So that's a lot. Fortunately. That's really scary. 25 years is too much.

No. Let me tell you why. Because when they do these home invasions, they're not thinking of nothing but themselves. They're not thinking about the kids that could be in the house. The old women that could be in the house. The women that could be in the house. And, you know, they get into these houses and sometimes it leads to murder, sometimes it leads to

really bad assaults. It's like, no. If it leads to murder or assaults, yes. You gotta make an example out of it. They should be 25 years. A lot of these is young kids, though. They're like 17, 18-year-old kids that's just thinking that these are easy ways to pick up some quick bread. And you gotta make an example out of them. I agree, but 25 years. Well, in a home invasion

on July 4th, a resident was shot and seriously wounded. They did say he survived and is expected to make a full recovery. You got to make an example of these kids.

If he gets shot or assaulted. It could be the same ring. Yes, then they deserve it. But a lot of these are kids. Even with these people stealing these cars, a lot of them are like 17-year-old, 18-year-old kids.

Let me ask you a question. You say these are kids, right? They are kids. They kick in somebody's door. You got your hammer. You blast one of these kids. Should they get shot? Yes.

So what's the difference? What do you mean? It's a harsh punishment. I mean, I'm going to protect myself, but kids are stupid sometimes. And we all do stupid things. You know what I mean? You didn't do something stupid that could have got you 25 years? But guess what?

Smart people learn from their own mistakes. Wise people learn from the mistakes of others. So sometimes. You just learned a couple years ago. No, that's not true. Knock it off. Sometimes you got to make an example out of people in order for other folks to learn. That's just the truth to the matter.

If somebody gets shot or hurt, yes, I agree. But sometimes kids just do stupid kid things. But we're all saving each other from each other, right? Because number one, you don't want these kids. If you don't want these kids to go to jail, then they shouldn't do home evasions. And if you don't want these kids to get killed, they shouldn't do home evasions. And if you don't want other people to get killed, nobody should be doing home evasions. Because this is just a terrible

terrible terrible cycle. I don't agree with none of it. I don't like it. That's like that's your house, man. I agree. There's no greater boundary than your house. I agree. Somebody violates you like that? No, bro. I agree. I think it's stupid. And if you come in my house, I'm going to shoot you. But sometimes these kids do stupid things. So you'd rather shoot them? No, I'm saying I'm going relate to you like that. No, bro. I agree. I think it's stupid. And if you come in my house, I'm going to shoot you. But sometimes these kids do stupid things. So you'd rather shoot them?

No, I'm saying I'm going to shoot you. If you come in my house. So how much time do you think is good? Let's talk about this. You say 25 is too much. How much time do you think? If they don't shoot nobody or hurt nobody? Give them 10 years.

I just think that the problem is it's a ring, right? And so they've been doing multiple homes. And one person did get shoot at a home. We don't know how many it's tied to yet. If you get shot as a gun, yes, you should get more time. But a lot of these kids are breaking into windows. They're stealing things. They're selling them to make some extra cash. I don't care. You can't be violating people's

house like that because you don't know who's in this house. But 25 years is a lot. Amen. And you know how I feel about crime. 25 years is a lot. But if you come up in my crib, first you get the dog, then you get the gun. Whatever way it happens first, you're going to get your door. I'd rather them get 25 years than get killed. All right.

Well, that is your rumor report. Yes. I would rather them get 25 years than get killed. Stay in my house. I think all we're really trying to say is y'all shouldn't be doing no damn home revisions. Stop doing home revisions. That's literally all we're trying to tell you. Stop doing home revisions.

Okay? That's what we're trying to tell you here. Right. All right. Well, who you giving your donkey to, man? Somebody who needs to go to jail. And I think that the time that they're offering her is too late. But we'll discuss it for after the hour, okay?

All right. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Everyone's pet is special, but what if yours was super? Well, get ready for the new movie, Super Pets, starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart.

Together, they're teaming up to save the world in this incredibly funny movie. DC Super Pets in theaters July 29th, rated PG. Be out here acting like a donkey. Hee-haw, bitch. Hee-haw. incredibly funny movie. DC Super Pets in theaters July 29th, rated PG. That donkey, that donkey, that donkey, donkey, donkey, donkey. Donkey of the day right here. It's a breakfast club, bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm. Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, July 20th goes to a Louisiana woman named Zandra Ellis. Humans, humans, humans, humans. Can't live with them.

And you can't turn your back on them because they might kill you. Okay? I'll try to get you killed. We really live in a nut ass world. Okay. I'm telling you, God is sick of us. All right. This is what my discernment is telling me. That's what God is telling me.

She is sick of us because we continue to make poor choices and we don't have to. Okay. We literally got all the rules, all the resources. We know exactly what we need to be doing, yet we still choose to do the opposite. But I am not here to preach to you today. I'm just here to tell you a story of how normal people think murder is. We live in a world where everything is at our fingertips. Literally, there is damn near nothing I can't get by simply pressing a button, including somebody killed. Now, I feel like I've told you about rent a hit man dot com before. OK, rent a hit man is a Web site that you can go to to order hits on people.

Allegedly. All right. It would be like Uber kill or door dead, something like that. And when you go there, the home page includes a disclaimer promising that potential clients information is protected under the fictional Hitman Information Privacy and Protection Act of 1964. In fact, the whole website RentAHitman.com is, guess what? Linked to the FBI's Internet Criminal Complaint Center. Yes, literally. But why wouldn't it be? Drop on a clothesline for the FBI. They are the best to ever do it, okay?

And the fact that so many people don't realize they probably have every single website linked to them is insane y'all be out here talking about this is al gore's internet and steve jobs internet and little duval's internet and beyonce's internet no it's the fbi's Okay, the whole web thing. All right. And this woman, Zandra Ellis, must have forgot because she went on the FBI's Internet and made contact with RentAHitman.com. Okay, on June 30th, using a fake name. The fake name was Jasmine D. Brown, by the way.

And the D clearly stood for donkey. She went in there and she made an inquiry. All right. She was just wondering how much it cost to get a woman only identified as BH offed. All right. She wanted BH to wake up dead somewhere. All right. Her reasoning was that BH was trying to kill her. The operator of the website, Robert Innes, I think, or is it Innes?

Robert Innes. Innes said that he contacted Ellis 24 hours later to see if she wanted to go through with the hit. Zandra replied back in less than a minute that she did. Salute to Robin. Dropping the clues bombs for Robin. Okay. He's a graduate of the Napa Valley Police Academy. He started Rent a Hitman in 2005 as an internet security company.

This is not just an internet security company. This website is keeping us all secure because if you fool up enough to go on rentahitman.com to order a hit, you're just a complete and total nut-ass psychopath who needs to be off the street. Now listen to this. When they did a background check on Zandra Ellis, or should I say did a background check on Jasmine Donkey Brown, they realized she don't exist, but they did discover Zandra Ellis exists. So they challenged her on why she didn't exist, but they did discover Zandra Ellis exists. So they challenged her on why she didn't use her real name. And Zandra Ellis had the good sense to say, I didn't

want my real name out just in case this isn't real. Or if it comes back to me, I'll show, or so I wouldn't go to jail. Okay. For wanting something like this done. I just didn't want it to fall back on me in quote. Let me tell you something, Zandra, as soon as you knew that that as soon as you knew they knew your real name you should have hung up all right you should have hung up and went into hiding like your last name was bin Laden I mean eventually they find you but you at least have to try to hide right not in 2022 because people have zero concept of what's right and what's wrong in fact on July 3rd Zandra was reported to the FBI. And two days later, an undercover agent going by the moniker Ace contacted her. Ace is a Fed name. Okay, always has been, always will be.

Somebody named Ace calls your phone. Some stranger named Ace randomly wants to speak to you. They the Feds. Okay, now according to documents, Zandra and Ace went back and forth over the price of the hit. Guess how much they settled on for the hit, Envy? Just guess. I have no idea. Just throw a number out there.

What you think? What you think a body costs? Huh? 50 grand. They settled for $1,000. Okay? And she put down 10%, which is $100. And then from there, she agreed to pay $250 in installments

until the debt was paid off. Can you imagine somebody basically putting your life on layaway? That is wild. If you can't afford to get me killed, then you got to just either do it yourself or suffer watching me live. All right? By the way, Zondre, if you did it yourself, you got a better chance of getting off

because at this point, the feds is just laughing at you. All right? You are the reason they can't stop chuckling all day because they can't believe the audacity and stupidity of people i'm sure of it now why does she want this person killed the person bh because they shared children by the same man so you trying to get your baby daddy other baby mama killed. For what? Who going to tend to them kids? Do you want that responsibility, Zandra? Like, damn.

Y'all about to bring everybody under one roof? No, you not. You don't got no money for that. Hell, if you don't have an extra grand around to get someone killed, I know you can't afford any extra kids. Now, listen. Story gets better. They met at Waffle House. They come up with a code word to confirm when the kill had

taken place and a ace asked zandra if she had a weapon on her to protect herself and she glanced at her backpack and said in a very cocky way i'm sure when you see me with this i'm always scrapped guess what when she walked out the waffle house she was arrested and found to be in possession of a pistol, not to mention charged with the use of interstate commerce facilities and the commission of murder for hire. And get this. She only faces 10 years in prison and found guilty. Only 10 years. Wow.

10 years. I say 50 years is fair. 25 to life. Definitely. I'm just saying, if you put in this much work to get me killed then we gotta treat you like i'm dead all right we gotta treat you like everything went according to plan that's the only way to keep people from doing things like this that's the only way to keep people from even thinking about it now the creator of the website robert ends he told the daily beast

i get requests every single day on Rent a Hitman. Despite the attention that it gets in the news, media, podcasts, online videos, people still see this as a place where they can attempt to hire a hitman. Robert says it's mind boggling. I just don't get it. End quote. Guess what, Robert? You and me both. But if that's the world we live in. Cool. OK. And guess what? If that's the world we're going to live in, then I need more people to start these kind of websites. If we got to share space with people who will go on rent to hit man dot com, you know, I mean, then we got to get them off the street. And the only way to do that is by having more of these type websites. Please let Remy Ma give Zandra Ellis the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw.

You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Might as well launch a rent-a-home invasion. Hey. Okay, rent-a-child sex trafficker. Let's set up more sites to get these folks off the street. Why not? If people falling for it. You ain't even got the money. You gotta put me on layaway. You gotta put me on layaway.

You can't even afford to get me killed. Damn. Jesus Christ. Come on. All right. I'm just curious. What do you mean? What are you curious about?

Black, white, Asian, Spanish. Oh, I didn't even look. Well, all right. All right. Well, up next, Ask Yee. 800-585- It's Andre in Louisiana. I already- 105-1. 800-585-1051.

800-585-1051. Ask Yee is next. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call us now at The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Sydney. Hey, Sydney. What's your question for Yee? I just wanted to know, Yee, I haven't been able to stay in a relationship since I was in high school, my senior year, and college was just too much. Like, the boys were just out of control.

I just had to get my degree and get out but now that I'm getting grown now and wanting to um try and settle down and possibly have children I just can't seem today to die past three weeks so tell me how it goes explain to explain to me like what the process is if there's a Okay, so I was thinking about this while waiting on the call. I just, at first, I'm like really interested in the guy. We're good. But then he might do something that might be questionable. And I'll think, and I'll overthink it.

And I'll think, oh, he's just trying to get one on me. So I'm going to just make sure I just cut him off before he even thinks of effing with my feelings. Yada, yada, yada. So I think I'm very much impatient and afraid of commitment, and I just don't know how to get over it. Okay, so it's not that you can't keep a man interested in you. It's that you have these walls up, and you're not giving a man a chance to get close to you.

And I wonder why. I think because I really, and I know I hate to say this because it sounds cliche, but I've truly had my heart broken before, but I did not want that to deter me from finding the one. Right. And I'm going to be honest, like we've all at some time in our life experienced some type of disappointment or heartbreak in a relationship.

And you learn a lot from that. And that's why you have your defense mechanism up because you don't ever want to have to go through that it's the worst feeling you know when your stomach hurts you're crying you don't want to leave the house but i but i also feel like you learned from that experience right and i am i'm definitely a self reflector i was raised to take accountability so it's no problem to do that. Okay. Maybe I just over, I think I'm just overthinking.

I also want to say there's nothing wrong with saying, okay, there's a red flag here. But I also feel like in the beginning of a relationship as you're getting to know somebody and they're getting to understand you and you're starting to understand them,

there has to be a period of grace for letting people make mistakes. And it could be that they don't know you the way that you name it could also be that you're committed relationship so the rules are a little bit different so you have to be clear about what your intentions are but you also have to know that this is something that you even want to pursue so like somebody don't put the pressure on yourself this doesn't have to be your man, your husband. This could just be somebody that you're dating who you like, whose company you enjoy.

That's how it starts. And then let it evolve from there. And either it will work or the worst case scenario it won't work. Right. But the worst thing is it's not even trying. So, yes. Exactly. Okay. Thank you so much. And before

you guys get me off the line, can I just give a shout out real quick to all the teachers out there working their butts off with these children? I'm going into work right now. And it was just nice getting through. Charlamagne, I love you. That donkey of the day was everything. Thank you, queen. And Envy, you my dude. I love you guys. I love you back. So much. Thank you so much, mama. Thank you, Queen. And Envy, my dude, I love you guys. I love you back. So much. Thank you so much, mama. Thank you, Ye. Thank you. Alright, Sammy. I wish you so much luck. Ask Ye. 800- 585-1051 if you need relationship

advice or any type of advice, call Ye now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of ASCII. Hello, who's this? Yo, it's Sean. Sean from where?

Sean from, I'm coming out of Houston. Coming out of Houston, all right. Oh, yo, shout out to Trader Truth, too. Trader Truth is doing Tray Day this weekend. Tray Day. Shout out to the whole Houston. I'll be out there a day or two for that. So, salute to Trader Truth and everything that he's doing for his weekend.

Now, what's up? What's your question for you, bro? Man, I need a collaboration here, man. Shout out to Charlamagne. You know what I'm saying? Mental health, my brother, you know what I mean? He done helped me out a lot. Thank you, King. Love. First off, you know what I mean? My situation

is a little bit unique. I'm 28. My wife is 50. We've been married for the past 10 years. You got married when you were 18? Yes, ma'am. Right out of high school.

I grew up, I was raised in Georgia, you know, so all my grandparents. So, you know, I understood what manhood was about. I've been working

since I was like 12, you know what I mean? So, I'm used to, you know, being a man. So I graduated high school. I met my wife in college.

And at the time, she had older kids. She had a couple young and then a couple older, you know, but, you know, long story short, they wasn't, like, as motivated as I was. So I kind of helped them get their license. I got a couple of them that are older than me, and I kind of helped them get their license, helped them get their first car, you know what I mean? I've been the daddy figure. So your kids, your stepkids are

older than you, some of them. I got two of them older than me. I got three younger than me. I'm 28. The oldest one is like 30. The other one is 28. One's like 25. I just had one graduate this year. I had one graduate in a pandemic. Wow. I just had one graduate this year. I had one graduate, uh, in a pandemic, you know, so. Wow. Okay. That is unique. Okay. Yeah, it is. So, um, well, my question is,

okay, we've been married all this time. And of course, when I first got married to her, you know, Charlotte Mary coming out of the South, you know, we, we was taught like men take care of the house, you know, I mean, men take care of the working and women, you know, take care of the house, you know take care of the house you know do whatever you got to do yes sir whenever we got married when we got married i'm like hey you know i don't want my wife to work well everybody like oh you're young you can't do this you can't do that well of course you know i got a chip on my shoulder so i want to prove y'all wrong and i did that so uh we we actually like say, we was in Florida, you know, we got relocated to Houston through my job. You know, I work construction, um, long story short, pandemic happened.

I got laid off, but I got a better job making less money. I went from, you know, over a hundred thousand dollars a year to working for the county, making about half of that. But I got great benefits, you know? So of course it got harder. And you know, the kids, I can't say, Hey, you know. Okay. So, of course, it got harder. And, you know, the kids, I can't say, hey, you know, hey, y'all go get a job, you know, because I understand this. My mama put me out at like 17.

And it was like, hey, go figure it out, you know. So I didn't want my stepkids, you know, to deal with the same thing or even my kids whenever I have them. So I'm just like, hey, you know, we created a cleaning business, did little things with the dogs, you know, we created a cleaning business, did little things with the dogs, you know, we do bullies or whatever. And I'm just like, all I need you to do is promote the business. You promote

the business, you make your clientele, that's your money. All I need you to do is just have my back whenever I can't have it. Because obviously, you know, as men, mental health is important. So whenever you have been working, you know, especially working a job that you didn't want to do just because you had to support your family. You know, at times you never know whenever you run out of gas.

So I'm kind of thinking proactively like, hey, you know, Steve Harvey like to say all the time, don't wait for the change, prepare for the change. So, you know, that's what I'm trying to do. Okay, Sean, we need you to kind of get, we need you to get to change. So, you know, that's what I'm trying to do. My problem now is... Okay, Sean, we need you to kind of get... We need you to get to it. So, this is about your wife. The problem now is, you know, she not... I can't get her to, you know,

initiate herself to do anything. Man, we got eviction notices, like, lights just got cut off, you know what I mean? And it's like, oh, well, you got it, right? She don't have... She's not helping. She's not participating. And I'm just like, oh, well, you got it right. She don't have. She's not helping. She's not participating.

And I'm just like, okay, if I help you, you know, take care of you and your kids, at least I feel like you should do as I'm walking. He's like, hey, man, I got this man. Like, he don't do so much. I got him. But she don't. So for the 10 years that you guys have been married, she hasn't worked that whole time? Because you didn't want her to.

She worked like a couple jobs. But, you you know she wasn't making a lot of money so i'm just like why waste your time making 12 13 you know when you can do your own thing and i can support you you know just just believe in yourself you know right okay now financially you need her help because you are drowning in in bills and you feel like it's just you handling everything after you took care of everything all this time. Yes. And what is she qualified to do now? Like what kind of work can she get? Well, I mean, she got she has a boatload of like certificates and certifications.

She just doesn't apply herself. You know, as of lately you know with the church she's been going you know to school trying to be a counselor and things like that you know and i'm very supportive you know but it's just like man you know whenever whenever i like in my head i can't give up or i can't i can't slip i gotta be damn damn near perfect you know you know for everything to work out and it's just like man i get tired too you know, you know, for everything to work out. And it's just like, man, I get tired, too. You know what I mean? And circumstances have have changed for you.

You know, before things were great financially, you were like, you're my wife. I don't want you to work. I'm a hold it down for the family, because traditionally that's how you were raised to believe that. And so she's been comfortable in that space. But now things have changed. We really need her to step up. And it seems like she's not understanding that or willing to do that in the way that you need her to. Okay. And when you guys have these conversations, is it arguments or is it a calm, rational conversation?

Honestly, I listen to you a lot, you know, so I've tried a bunch of different ways. Of course, I'm, you know, Of course, I'm very passionate. So sometimes I get kind of irate, but I've also tried the tactical, you know, let me kind of settle down, you know. But it seems like when I'm kind of settled and calm, like I can't get through to her. But when I go to...

You want the reaction to what? Just remember, Sean, that you guys are a team and there could be a lot of things going on with her personally where maybe she doesn't feel confident enough. Sometimes people are also scared of rejection to even try to apply for jobs because it can be disheartening if you're not able to get something, you know, especially in the field that she wants to do. But I will say that you have to approach this like a team. We got to figure this out together. Let's sit down and come up with a game plan together. And I don't think that being my rape necessarily...

And it's just like, and listen, she's admitted a few times like it feels good not to have to be mama. Like I done been through so much and like you hold it down and it feels good that I don't have to be mama all the time. And I'm like, okay, but in my head, I wasn't an 18 year old kid that was forced to have to be mama all the time. And I'm like, okay, but in my head,

I wasn't an 18-year-old kid that was forced to grow up, you know? Yeah. Well, it was a choice you made, too. Of course, yeah, of course. I completely, you know, I'm content with that. It sounds like y'all might need some, is there anybody else that can, is there anybody who can talk to her that's a family member who she's close to

or a really good friend that you have a good relationship with? Because sometimes it's really hard to talk to the person that you're around the most, that you love, and have these hard conversations. Is there somebody else that can talk to her and be supportive? Man, listen, I called you.

You're my last resort. I've been at this for 10 years. I can't get through. No, but I'm saying you're just somebody that's close to her, like a family member or a friend.

Everybody call her for advice. And I'm always like, I'm like, okay, you giving them good advice, but why you not applying that to your own relationship? You know? Yeah, but I'm saying,

do you have a relationship with any of her friends that you can actually have them sit down and talk to her about it too? Listen, black men don't cheat. I don't even open the door for that. Ain't no relationship like that.

So, I mean, I'm a person. All right, Sean, it sounds like you need some additional help. So, you said you're in Houston, right? Yeah. All right, hold on the line. We're going to get your information because this took a long time to get to it. But I want to make sure that we support you however we can. All right. Hold on the line. We're going to get your information because this took a long time to get to it. But I want to make sure that we support you however we can. All right.

ASCII, 800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes. And French Montana, he's talking about labels taking out life insurance policies on these artists, on these rappers. We'll tell you what he had to say. All right. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is our 105.1. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. All right, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk French Montana. It's

time. She's spilling the tea. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Alright, well, Prince Montana says that labels take out life insurance policy. He told DJ Academics

on Off The Record Podcast about the beef, the times when people were beefing and at first, people wouldn't touch you, label wouldn't mess with you. But here's what he said is happening. Sounds like we need a life insurance policy on your phone or you because of the way you just sounded. But now it's even crazier because

they're getting life insurance on artists. At least back then we didn't have that. Somebody told me that. Yeah. Is a label signing an artist in good faith if you're taking a life insurance out of them? No, you're praying on his death. No, you're preying on his death.

You're preying on making millions on his death. Or are they being realistic, though? Both. They're being realistic. You're supposed to have life insurance anyway, but when the label does it, if you don't have one, that's crazy. That's not new. When I was signed to Epic Sony to do my DJ compilation, they definitely tried to get me to sign one there. And their whole their excuse for it is if we give you all this money up front to record this album, if something happens to you, how do we get our money back?

So they want, you know, artists to sign, you know, to get a life insurance policy that they are controlling of. So I didn't do it, though. But they don't care if you promote death in your music, then you can talk about as killing as many people as you want you can talk about you know getting killed not want to live not wanting to live long you can celebrate as much drug use as you want because if you do overdose or get killed they get paid right but think about it it's a business so if i give you let's say you're an artist and i give you 350 000 to record an album you know or to you know i sign you for 350 000 and you die i lose that money i don't can't can't get that back. I can't go in your account and get it back. So, I mean, I'd rather your family have it.

I don't even think with labels, that's the only places that do it. I think other employers do that too. It's not just record labels. Yeah. I didn't sign it though. Well, let me check the fine print here at iHeart. Make sure they ain't got no goddamn life insurance policy on me. I didn't know that you had to sign for that to happen though.

Yeah, you got to sign off on it. It's all in your contract. I didn't know that was real. I thought that was a rumor. Yeah, you got to sign off on your contract. I didn't know that was real. I thought that was a rumor all of these years. I took it out of my contract. Definitely with my eye. Alright, and Kodak Black's lawyer has told TMZ that when Kodak got arrested for those 31 oxycodone pills in his car,

they were actually prescription and he uses those to deal with chronic pain. He's been suffering since he got shot in February so that is the explanation for that. He innocent. He innocent. All right, now let's talk about Kim Burrell. She faced some backlash after giving a sermon in church,

and here's what she said in church. You know, sometimes before we get friends, we have to do an interview. How long have you been broke? How many of your bills in your little cousin's name? Do you live in a trailer home or a house? You know, you understand. And it's not about status or material things.

It's just about choices. I like coming here because the ground is already tilled with great personality like Dr. Karn. And he tells the type of truth that makes most uncomfortable. Because who likes to be told you're just ugly no one likes to be told that most don't get offended until they know the bad thing about themselves and then somebody else recognizes and say oh i saw the ugly too i just want to let you know so anyway y'all get that later god is great all of you are beautiful i haven't chosen anyone to be ugly yet most of you have on hats covering most of that anyway. Here's to you. Drop on the clues bombs with Kim Burrell.

Let me tell you something. I have watched that video three to five times and laughed each time. Okay. Because I love older people who don't give a damn about what comes out their mouth. She's only in her late forties, by the way. Okay.

But Hey, she's in church. All right. Tell your truth. Shame the devil. If you can't shame the devil, shame people who live in trailers, shame people who broke, shame people who ugly.

Somebody gets sick. Somebody got to get shamed. Whatever works. Well, after this, she did release a statement apologizing. She said, as a kingdom citizen and a woman of integrity, I can acknowledge that some of my words, even if said in jest, can be offensive. My intention is never to hurt anyone, but spread love, laughter and more importantly, the gift which God has given me in song. See, I would have loved it if she had just doubled down. She'd say, you're black, you're poor, you're ugly, you're nothing. All right. She said it was just humor.

That is your rumor report. In church. Come to us. I'm going to do a stand-up in church and y'all going to get these jokes, damn it. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Up next, the People's Choice Mix. You're stupid. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Marissa.
