Each week we get deep and raw life stories, combos on the issues that matter to

Listen to Gracias Come Again on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey everyone, this is Courtney Thorne-Smith, Laura Layton, and Daphne Zuniga. On July 8th, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world. We are going to be reliving

every hookup, every scandal, and every single wig removal together. So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Blast. Hello, who's this? This is Sean from Fort Lauderdale. Hey, Sean, what's up? Get it off your chest. I was listening to what I was talking about when it came down to the taser.

Yes, sir. And when it comes down to the taser, it can be deadly force just because if that person's not trained with it, they can use that as deadly force. Now, a normal taser takes at least five seconds, and then they actually deactivate. But the longer that you keep holding that trigger, you can really hurt somebody. And if you decapitate a police officer, you can go ahead and take their guns and do whatever. So that's definitely just as far as it's dead before. Well, yeah, I think he was running away, though. Like, his back was saying he was running away.

No, he pointed the taser at the police officer. Yeah, he pointed it. How far of a distance, like, can you shoot a taser from that far away? 25 feet. So how far was he? Because I feel like his back was turned. He was running. Plus he turned away.

Now, once you turned away, taser, no taser, what if he had a gun? And he turned away to the police officer with a gun in his hand. Do you know what I'm saying? Well, they knew it was a taser because he got it from the cops. Yeah, but how did, exactly. So how are you going to take a taser from a cop, right? And then run away and then turn around

and not think a cop is not going to go ahead and shoot you. Are you a police officer? Yes. Okay, so you know what the deadly force of a taser is. Now, I'm just asking

because I honestly don't know. And that's why I was asking. I mean, I got hit with a taser one time and the force of that taser definitely put me on my ass. But I would just say, you know, it just seems strange because I thought they used the taser not as deadly force as an option, you know? Police officers are trained to use a taser, but it's not for deadly force. But if it's in the hands of somebody else that is not trained, you can definitely do some damage.

Like, that taser, like, can go in somebody's eye and stuff like that. Okay. As far as where you're pointing. Okay. Well, thank you for checking in, brother. Not a problem, dog. You be safe out there. Hello, who's this? Yo, yo, yo, yo. Yo, yo. Yeah, we can hear you, Clem. Yo, yo. Hey. Hey, Salome.

Listen, I'm a married man. I'm about to have no phone sex With you on this damn radio Oh I got you I got you stuttering Over there girl Yeah just hey

You mean phone sex Definitely got him stuttering Well get it off your chest Trav No that's my equipment Messing up What's up Oh hey What's up Yee

His equipment's messed up Yeah equipment's not Working over there boo boo Listen I'm calling to talk about, listen, girls got to stop thinking that they man is gay over the littlest things. Like, girls are probably showing me pictures of their man after they think he's gay or telling me.

This girl yesterday was going to say that her man liked to sleep naked on his stomach with the, like, A's with the A's with the A's with the A's with the A's with the fan blowing on him. And she's like, is that gay? I said, because he's like a little cool breeze on his butt. How does that make him gay? It's hard to sleep on your stomach, though. I sleep on my stomach all the time.

Well, Trav, you are gay. In all fairness. That is a fact, Trav. You know what? You got a point. I gotta go tell her that her man might be gay. He might be gay. There you have it.

Mystery solved. Goodbye, Trav. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Rebecca. Hey, Rebecca, get it off your chest. I'll have a lot to get off my chest. Well, I just had a newborn baby like 24 days ago. Congratulations.

Yes. Thank you. But I'm experiencing postpartum preeclampsia at the moment. So it's sending me into a little downward. Oh.

Yeah. So, you know, and then now I have like four children so I kind of need like the extra help because I was in the hospital due to it. Do you have

your parents around or your husband around? I'm not married and my mom is around but she's really a traveler so I see her here and there.

Is there any way that somebody could watch the baby at least for the weekend and you just, you know, kind of just take a spa day, relax, and even if it's just, you know, stay at a local hotel where you could just unwind and get some rest, is there anybody that can do that for you? Um, yes. It's my

grandmother and my twin sister. See if they can do that for you, you know what I mean? That way you can reset, you can kind of get a massage, and you can just kind of get a restart and reset in your life. And then you get back to it on Monday, you know? Yeah. You know, because I know it's difficult.

You got four kids. And every kid is pulling you in every direction. And then you got the baby. And the baby wants formula. The baby's not allowing you to sleep because the baby's not sleeping. So I know it can get a lot. So just try to get, you know, somebody to help you out. Just at least for the weekend so you can just reset.

You turn your phone off. You get some sleep. And just try to start over to help you out, just at least for the weekend, so you can just reset, you turn your phone off, you get some sleep, and just try to start over for the work week. Yeah, so, you know, just need a little help. Yes, you need a break. And then what we'll do is we'll take your address, and then I'm sure Charlamagne got a couple of books up here. I got my book up here. And then we'll send you some literature so you can do some reading and just relax.

Some self-care items maybe. Some nice lotions, a little something you could treat yourself at home. Okay, that would be great. Alright? Yes. Don't let it stress you out. We love you. Thank you. Hold on, alright? I'm going to get your address and we're going to send that stuff to you. Okay.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. We got rumors on the way? Yes. And according to reports, who stole $100,000 from Wendy Williams' account and ran up that bill before it got frozen? Charlamagne. What the hell happened to him?

He was just there. All right. Now, I wasn't saying Charlamagne stole the money. I was just finding out. I thought you were. I was like, wow. Okay. I was seeing where you were.

Tell it, why don't you? No. Oh, my goodness, you guys. All right. The room is up next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

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

Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, y'all? This is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records.

It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here.

I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap is another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus

nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. Did you know, did you know I wouldn't give up my seat Nine months before Rosa It was called a moment Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Are we sure? Yes, we are. Are we sure? We sure?

We sure? Everything good? I think we're good. Mic's working? I think everything's working good. Let's make a show. All right. Let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk Wendy Williams. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Angela Yee. It's The to the rumors. Let's talk Wendy Williams. Listen up. It's just in. All it got. Got. The rumor report. Got. Got.

With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. All right. Well, according to reports and according to the U.S. Sun, Wendy Williams' son, Kevin, charged $100,000 to her Amex card before Wells Fargo froze her accounts. Now, Kevin has released a statement, and he gave this statement to the U.S. Sun. He said,

I vehemently deny any allegations of unauthorized use of my mother's Amex card. This is a false narrative perpetuated to justify freezing her accounts. So, not sure what's wrong or what's right here, but, you know, charging that money. But how can they sure what's wrong or what's right here, but you know, charging

that money. But how can they say it's wrong if just like my daughter uses my card and I say, yo, go buy this or buy that. And if there was a problem, then I would say it was a problem. Wendy would have said it's a problem. That's still her money. That's her family's money. They can't decide who uses that money and who doesn't. According to this quote unquote source,

you know, there were several red flags ahead of the accounts being frozen. That was one of them. And they said that Kevin was demanding that Wendy's advisor pay the bill instead of Wendy. This source claimed Kevin Jr. is saying that's not true. Don't get it twisted. Wendy don't. I highly doubt it.

Hmm. I highly doubt he did that without her permission. Yeah. I highly doubt that. That doesn't seem right. All right. Now, Usher is responding to Diddy's R&B is dead proclamation.

And here is what he had to say during an interview with Bevelations. Or even like Puff saying, you know, R&B is dead. He sounds nuts to me. It sounds crazy. I'm looking at what I think is getting ready to happen

between Puff and JD, you know, in Atlanta to celebrate the music. Yo, y'all don't live without R&B. Neither one of y'all. Nope. So, you know, if it's a thirst trap moment or either, you know what I'm saying, you trolling, yo man, keep that shit in the comment section. I'm not with none of that okay okay i should get spicy hey listen hello hello can you hear me oh yeah i i agree with us you can't declare a whole genre of music dead just because you know your particular single may not

be doing what you want it wanted to do like i know diddy's promoting his record uh with bryson tiller i don't know how it's doing or how it's not doing but uh it feels like you know it's just promotion for that single but to me but the problem with that is is that record in my opinion ain't necessarily r&b it's more poppy to me it's not really really poppy it's it's very up tempo it's I don't know well you know what coming from a DJ that's a great thing to say and I would say that to Puff if I had a conversation with him I'd be like look you know you saying R&B

is dead but you don't necessarily have an R&B record out just because you have an R&B single on a record doesn't make it R&B whoa damn I think Puff cut his mic off Puff definitely cut his mic off I don't even think he was on Rev anymore. What just happened? I don't know. All right. And Capitol Records has cut ties with that AI rapper we just played for y'all yesterday, FN Mika. Now, Envy, you said it was trash. Mm hmm. And according to the statement.

You're back, Charlamagne. Yes.. Yes. Capitol Records. They just cut me off. Said in a statement provided to Complex, we offer our deepest apologies to the black community for our insensitivity in signing this project without asking enough questions about equity and the creative process behind it. We thank those who have reached out to us with constructive feedback in the past couple of days. Your input was invaluable as we came to the decision

to end our association with the project. Here is the music. This A.I. rapper was an amalgamation of gross stereotypes, appropriative mannerism that derived from black artists, complete with slurs infused in lyrics. That's what this open letter to Capitol Records

said. The artist was Tekashi69. It seems like they were playing off of Tekashi. Play a clip of it. Can I ask a question? First of all how do you drop an ai rapper do you just turn the computer off is that that number one yes that's what you do yep reboot and i'm i'm so i'm i'm what i gotta reboot no i'm saying you reboot the number again just keep oh and and i'm and i'm so i'm so confused because like i saw it and i mean it looks just racially ambiguous to me i didn't think he was white or black. I just thought it was AI.

But when you say that, Envy, I'm like, oh, that was a 6ix9ine clone, I guess. That's what it sounded like. And he's AI, so he's mimicking a rapper. So he had all the stereotypical tropes of a rapper in this era, right? The chains, the dreads, the tats. So who's really at fault here? Is it the people who created the AI, or is it the rappers he's mirroring?

Because if he can't use it, 6ix9ine can't use it either, right? So where's the petition to say 6ix9ine can't use the N-word? Or any of these guys, I don't know. I don't even know what you call these people. I'm about to say racially ambiguous. I don't know. What is 6ix9ine's race? He's Mexican.

I think he's Mexican. So nobody who's black If you're a rapper You can't use the N word If you're not black Just ask it No I mean it is what it is I don't think it's right

Like you know What's a slur for a Mexican person If a black person says that Then they cancel Then it's over Then it's a wrap But Listen I'm with you

But I'm just saying Why are we not keeping The same energy For the real rappers? If you're telling me that this is a clone of 6ix9ine, which now that you say it, I can see it. People aren't writing letters to the labels. That's not what it's supposed to be. That's what it sounds like.

But they're not saying this is a clone of 6ix9ine. We're just noticing that as they put together this virtual rapper based off of all of these things, it does sound like 6ix9ine. Regardless, it sounds trash to me. Yeah. And listen, I'm not about to sit here and defend the A.I. rapper because I truly don't care. But an A.I. rapper using the N-word isn't because he's racist. It's because whoever created the A.I. is mimicking rappers.

And using the N-word is what rappers do in their music. So if you don't like it to me, this is a classic example of the mirror effect. Like, damn, you might be looking at what you do. I mean, maybe you need to change. I'm sure the A.I. rapper, what they did was got all the information of what sells. You know, dreads, tats on the face, the type of music that this, that, and the other,

and they mimic what they believe sells. It's the language rappers use. They show him getting beaten by a cop in a jail cell because he won't snitch. You know, they also have him fabricating police brutality. That's what people think hip-hop is or what our culture is.

They show him getting beaten up by a cop. That's our fault. That's the culture's fault. Because the culture has accepted that for so long, so now people think that's what hip-hop is. So that's what they that's the coach's fault because the coach has accepted that for so long so now people think that's what you know hip hop is so that's what

they're mimicking that's our fault it's the mirror effect if you don't like it you gotta take a good hard look at the whole culture you gotta demand the whole culture change

well take whatever you got out your mouth bro what you chewing on man shut up shut up see if they did an AIU it'd just be gay and you would too

you would be on my back or I'd be on your'd just be gay. And you would too. You would be on my back. Or I'd be on your back. Just be a gay Envy. That's not really gay Envy. That's just Envy. Oh, my goodness. All right.

Well, that is your rumor report. We got front page news next. What are we talking about? Yes, we'll talk about a former Troy University football player who has filed a lawsuit against an ex-teammate and three coaches. We'll tell you what happened to him. It's awful. All right, now we were talking that R&B is dead. A lot of people haven't heard the Diddy and Bryson tell a record.

I consider that poppy.

Well, not poppy. You know what I mean? Pop music. I feel like R&B is kind of pop, because it is popular music. I would say salute to Diddy, but you can't declare a whole genre of music dead because your single may not be doing what you want it to do.

Because as Envy said earlier, and as you're saying right now, this record isn't really R&B. So you got to be the change you want to see in the world, right? You got to make an R&B record. All right. Well, let's get into some front page news. Where we starting, Yeezy? All right.

Well, a former Troy University football player has filed a lawsuit against his ex-teammate and three coaches. He said he was abused while on the team. Now, they're not using the name of the player because of being a victim of sexual assault, but the suit contends that he was bullied because of the perception that he was homosexual. He was laying on his stomach on the floor of the players' lounge

watching a football game on his phone when he felt excruciating pain as a pool cue was shoved into his anus. What? According to the lawsuit, a video circulated on social media showing the assault, which occurred as others watched and laughed, according to this suit. They've been watching too much N2D. Remember that movie, N2D?

That was my friend Gano who that happened to. I remember that part. Now, the three coaches knew about the abuse and did nothing to stop it according to this lawsuit. And so the alleged abuse occurred under the previous coaching staff as well.

Can you imagine that? You just laying there watching and then somebody films that and then it circulates on social media and no one does anything? I'm telling you, people play too much. I just read a story about in India, this guy had to have a can, no, a red cup removed from his butt because his friend stuck a red cup up his butt as a prank. I think it was a metal cup.

I've seen that story. No, it couldn't be no metal cup envy. They said it was some type of metal cup, I thought. How do you get a metal cup up your rectum? No, it couldn't have been metal. I thought it was a red plastic cup. You sure? Because a red plastic cup would break.

It would crumple. But it would be easier to shove up there. What kind of conversation are we having right now, man? Stop it. We're having a conversation about things that are happening in the world. It ain't our fault. These people crazy. Let me just Google metal cup and butt. Let me see what pops up go ahead whoa all right now former louisville metro police department detective kelly goodlett pleaded guilty

to a felony conspiracy charge in federal court yesterday that's the first officer who would be convicted for their role in the deadly 2020 raid on brianna taylor's home now goodlett resigned from the police department on augustth, which is the day after the U.S. Department of Justice announced federal charges against her and three other Louisville police officers. And so, according to the DOJ, they alleged that Goodlett, along with her partner, Joshua James, knowingly provided false information to a judge in order to secure the search warrant for Taylor's apartment.

The two falsely claimed they had verified with a U.S. Postal Inspector that Breonna Taylor's ex-boyfriend, who was the subject of a narcotics investigation, was getting packages delivered to Breonna Taylor's home. So, that was false, false, false. And now she has

um, yeah, she'll be sentenced November 21st. All right. That is your front page news. And it was a metal cup, like I said. You still looking at it? It was a metal cup. I want to say, too, you know, today

Joe Biden is expected to announce a $10,000 student loan forgiveness program today. And that was a campaign promise that he kept, that he would erase $10,000 in student loan debt for everyone. I wish they would get rid of all of them just like they did PPP loans, but this is better than nothing. And it's a kept campaign promise if he does it.

So I hope that goes through for everybody that's struggling with student loan debt out there. Absolutely. And I believe it's for if you make, what's it, less than $150,000 or something like that? $125,000. Oh, $125,000? You said?

I don't know what he said. All right. Well, that is your Front Page News. All right. When we come back, Sarita Stib will be joining us. She's running for U.S. Senate of Louisiana. And she has a story. At 19 years old, she was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison for stealing a car.

And she's going to break it down. She had to do her time. She came out. Now she's running for U.S. Senate of Louisiana. And we're going to talk to her when we come back and all the things that she's doing. Would you imagine 19 years having to serve like 9 years, 10 years in prison for stealing a car?

Well, she talks about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.

She's running for U.S. Senate of Louisiana, Sarita Stive. Welcome. Thank you so much for having me. Good morning. Did I say your name right? Absolutely. Okay. Welcome.

Welcome. Now, I actually met Sarita through my good friend Topeka Sam. And the two of you collaborate on a lot of different projects together. Yes, absolutely. So let's talk about your background. And I think people need to hear your story. We were actually in New Orleans. And when I tell you we went out to eat at Murrow's, and she had people at the table crying just talking about her story and how she's gotten to where she is now.

Yeah, so a little bit about me and my story. It starts probably really early on in childhood. I had experiences with abuse throughout my life, and by the age of 19, it kind of led me to a pathway. I felt like I was really angry and upset all of the time. It just really caused me to make a lot of bad decisions, irrespective of where I was in my life. So I was on a full scholarship to Xavier University in New Orleans in physics and engineering and in the United States Navy. But by the time I was 19, I found myself in prison. So I was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, 20 years in state prison, $1.9 million in restitution, all for the same crime.

What did you do? So my charge was was use of value to commit a felony uh we stole cars from a car dealership and blew the car dealership up what okay so you stole cars from the car dealership yeah how many cars i think we were charged with six um and then why did you blow up the car dealership because one of my co-defendants thought his face was on the camera that he could be caught and that was the first thing that we thought of you know to cover your tracks more you know well i mean i would have thought no i would have thought the same thing at the age of 19 and envy i'm going to say this is interesting because we had this debate the other day about when people do things as a

youth when they're young and they make these huge mistakes in their life and how forgiving people should be of that once you know know, they do go to jail. Or is there some type of rehab that can happen without jail? So I definitely do not think that jail is rehabilitative. You know, I think nine years and two months. Wow. For a crime that normally would have held about three years. But because I was sentenced in the federal system and I was sentenced under mandatory

minimums. You know, that's a big thing across the country right now. People who are doing obscene amount of time because of mandatory minimums. That was my case. So my judge had no discretion. I didn't have priors, you know, or anything like that. But that was my mandatory minimum. And then one of the things that I'm working with Topeka now on is that I had restitution

as well. So I was sentenced under the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act, which made it necessary. Or like the judge also didn't have any leniency to go either way that he had to impose restitution. So that is how I ended up with the 10 years in the federal system, $1.9 million in restitution. And then the state came in and said, hey, we want to charge you with a part of the crime in the state as well. And that was how I got the 20 years in the state. So I was going to ask. So for most people don't know, and this is what really irks me when it comes to a lot

of this stuff. So when you stole the vehicles, why did you steal them? Money. To sell them? Absolutely. So now, and this is why I say this always bothers me, because you get a lot of kids and that's yourself, teenagers. They steal these cars and they get $2,000, $3,000 a car.

How much would you get in a car at that time? About $20,000. $20,000 a car. And you sell it to a guy that's selling it and probably getting $70,000, $80,000 a car. Absolutely. But that person that was selling it for $70,000, $80,000 and shipping them overseas and getting the big dollars, he was never caught. No, and you know, I was listening to DMX

and Rough Riders a lot around that time. So Eve had this amazing song called Ride or Die Chick. I really believed that, you know, in my head at the time. And I, you know, we didn't cooperate, didn't talk about it, didn't say anything about it because I felt like

if you had evidence on the person, you could get it, you know, whatever. But not even realizing like the level of praying people do on young kids and you're you know that they're in hard situations or tough situations so like my story was that I was in the military at that time I was making $410 every two weeks but I was already you know had a car had responsibilities I went to my superiors in the Navy I'm like hey I need to get another job they're like no you know just let everything go and you can get it back and I was like can't do that like how I'm gonna drive you know at 19 I can't even comprehend letting my car go right you know and it really bothers me because

you know especially I mean you know now car thefts are through the roof right now yeah New Orleans and mostly what they do is they get these they they prey on these 16-year-olds, 17-year-olds, and 18-year-olds, right? And usually because if they get caught, they come out right away. And then they can get back and doing it. And they pay these kids $3,000 to $5,000 a car. And these kids are stealing McLarens, Rolls Royces, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Fords, Kias. And then they ship these cars overseas for $30,000, $40,000, $50,000. But these kids are risking their life for $3,000.

And not just jail time, because you run into the wrong house, or you run into the wrong car, and somebody shoots at you and puts them in a bad predicament. And we were just having this conversation on air. That was like, I understand, and I feel bad for these kids. Because they're looking at it as, oh, this is a quick $3,000 flip. Somebody left their key fob, and I'm going to take it. You know, which is really sad.

So what happened with the restitution? Because you owed $1.9. Did you have to pay that back? Are you still paying it back? How does it work? So I paid on the restitution for 20 years on Trump's last day in office. Same day that Lil Wayne got his pardon, I got a full presidential pardon as well.

So it took away my restitution, the crime, the federal system, and it was wiped away. But I paid, I mean, the way the federal system is set up, you pay while you're incarcerated as well. So it's really your family paying. So from the time I stepped foot in prison until the time I stepped foot out,

I paid for 20 years. So how do you feel about Donald Trump? Because, you know, a lot of people hate Donald Trump and you look at people like Lil Wayne and you look at people like Kodak and yourself. You can't necessarily hate a man that freed you, right? Absolutely. But what you was about to say. Oh, no, I was saying, but it was a presidential party and you were already out.

Yes, yes, yes. But he freed me from the sentence and the restitution and all that stuff. Right. I think that God could use the devil to bless you um i'm gonna start there and then there's a saying that says a broken clock can be right twice a day um the other fallacy is that he gave me something he did grant me a pardon but every day since i have been out um i have worked you know um to change laws to liberate people, to really give back to a community that is always forgotten about. So I deserved it. You know, so for me, it was I just, you know, everything just come in full circle in a combination.

I felt like of all of the work that I had been putting in over the last few years. So I do think that if I'm working for people, it is my job to work with whoever I need to work with in order to get that get the things that my community needs. They ever try to come back out to you and try to use you to as a tool because he granted you this. Absolutely not. He does not talk about my part and don't mention it at all. And you know, he endorsed Senator Kennedy in Louisiana. So, no. Absolutely not. Alright, we have more with Sarita Stive when we come back. Don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. ...that you had when you first got home? The simple explanation for me is definitely, I feel like it's a calling, you know, that's been placed on my life. I'm a very anybody who knows me. I'm real stubborn. I don't make decisions lightly or take things for granted that I have or the experiences that I have.

But I remember right before I went to prison, I was having this argument. I felt like with God in the car. I literally walked out of church. It was Mardi Gras. I was 19 and I'm having a conversation with God in the car, I literally walked out of church. It was Mardi Gras. I was 19 and I'm having a conversation with God and I hear him saying, you need to be in church. You need to listen. You need to do this. And in my mind, I'm like, no, I'm 19.

I want to party. I want to drink. I want to smoke weed. I want to have fun. And it was like this argument I felt like that I was having, you know, with God on my conscience or, you know, whatever. And that I feel like that disobedience caused me to be in prison for 10 years. So I feel like my disobedience comes at a different cost. So when I got this message about two years ago, it took me a while. You know, I tried to do everything in my power to convince myself that this is what I shouldn't be doing.

I did a poll. I talked to people, all of these things. But I still came to the same conclusion that this was something that I needed to do. Over the last few years, I've definitely been working in the legislative space on a federal level and a state level. When I got out of prison, I couldn't go to college. I was denied the opportunity to go to college because there's also the box, have you been convicted of a felony on college applications? So I applied. I was denied. Two years later, I used the same exact application.

The only change I made was I unchecked the box. And I got in. I got scholarships. And, you know, fundamentally, that just didn't feel good. So after I graduated from college, I have a degree in clinical laboratory science. I work in a hospital prior to opening my nonprofit. We went back in and we were like, something has to change. So we passed legislation in state of Louisiana in 2017 to remove the box off college applications for purposes of admissions.

And we made Louisiana the first state to do that. So since then, we've passed similar legislation in six other states, supporting advocates on the ground in those states to like change the laws and advocate for their community. Every year since 2017, I've passed at least one piece of legislation in the state of Louisiana, the Dignity Act. We passed the primary caretaker legislation. A lot of those bills have been copied in places like California. And on a federal level, we work to remove the question off of the Common App for students to apply who have convictions. We were able to put inside of the COVID omnibus bill, we were able to slide some legislation that gave people who are incarcerated access to Pell Grants. So there's a lot of work that I've been doing to, you know, in the liberation of my people and trying to make

sure that people who have made mistakes have access to the things that they need been doing to, you know, in the liberation of my people and trying to make sure that people who have made mistakes have access to the things that they need in order to begin to try to change their life. You said that you were listening to music. You're a heavy DMX fan and you were listening to Eve and Ride or Die. And that's what you thought you should do. So how do you look at artists now and their music now? Because, you know, people say, you know, it's just entertainment. But obviously it

had a heavy influence on you in Louisiana the crime rate is through the roof like a lot of our urban cities so how do you look at music and things that that the kids hear now I think music we cannot deny has an effect on people we talk about being creatives and making music and painting has like this healing effect on a person like getting out the things that they want to get out. But we also have to acknowledge and be aware and responsible for the messages that we are putting out that have the opposite effect. You know, everything in life has good intentions. Some have bad intentions, but the intentionality is just the same. So I think that as a community, we have to push the narrative that this is entertainment.

I think when I was growing up in the 90s, it wasn't being pushed as entertainment. It was being pushed as a way of life. So this was being fed to kids and, you know, teenagers like myself, like this is what you have to do in order to be here and I think that that is one thing that I'm grateful for is through the evolution of music we now begin to talk about it as if it's entertainment versus a way of life but it is so true you can't snitch right because that's part of it also seriously though because people look at you so if you were to be like look this is the person that is in charge. But she was being preyed upon as a young teen. Right.

That's very different. But you also know that, too, that you can't tell because now what? After I done told who the real person is, now what happens to me? So I think the streets a long time ago were a lot different. I feel like now people, you know, are being it's OK to tell like that culture has also changed, too, because like, you know, 20, 30 years ago, a person would tell what happened and they would come up missing or they had some type of repercussions or consequences. Now it is not frowned upon. People are telling all the time. I don't know.

It's just different. Right. are telling all the time. I don't know. It's just different, right? But I think that what I had to do and reconcile for myself is like while, you know, Envy pointed out, yeah, like I was being

preyed upon. I was also raised to take responsibility like for my actions. So I was guilty. I did do what they said that I did and I was gonna

serve my time. I pled guilty, you know, even though at the time I didn't even understand what I was pleading serve my time I pled guilty you know even though at the time I didn't even understand what I was pleading guilty to um I pled guilty because I did exactly what they said that I did I get that but see you also gotta understand is there's a an adult here right that even though you could say snitching and not snitching I think a lot of his bull but there's

an adult here that finds young teens and says, this kid has no money. This kid is f**ked up. This kid has no schooling, no education, doesn't know, and just wants to get out. I can prey on this kid and get him to do what I want him to do. And that's not right. No. People can call that snitching or whatever, but. But it's no different than it's abuse.

It's no different than, you know, somebody being molested, somebody being sexually assaulted. Because it takes the same level of person that is preying on an individual so in that sense i you know totally out the window there i understand man coercing a kid to do something crazy absolutely that's foul it's not like y'all all say all right we're gonna do this crime together we do it no but you had an adult that says hey because why why didn't an adult do it the adult didn't do it because the adult knew better but at the time time, the person that's being preyed upon looks as the prey. You know, there's all type of like, you know,

syndromes that are associated with like a person who is causing you to do, you know, incorrect things or things that you shouldn't be doing. You also see them as a savior in a lot of ways because, you know, the reason why they can offer kids $3,000 to do a thing, and this is not all kids because I didn't come from a socioeconomic background associated with people who you think are in prison. My mom was a judge when I went to prison. You know, my dad was a supervisor at an oil refinery.

So what led me to prison was trauma. It wasn't poverty. But people who are in poverty and people who don't own anything other than their Facebook page. And that's in debate whether they own it or not. The only thing that you feel like you have is your self-respect or your self-worth. When somebody tries to take that from you, that is why kids feel like I can take someone's life in the commission. It is judged, though. Absolutely.

And your mom. And we can talk about it now. Your mom didn't try to turn. They make some moves because she's a judge. So she did. My mom. Shout out to turn Make some moves Because she's a judge So she did My mom Shout out to my mom Her birthday's tomorrow Happy birthday mama

But she definitely did She did everything in her power To like extricate me from the system But when she talks about it From her point of view She felt like they were more harsh on me Because of who she was And then if you also think about it, like we're from the South,

you know, there's this air of, you know, people of color shouldn't be doing certain things. So she feels like a lot of what I went through was because of who she was, you know. All right, we have more with Sarita Stobb when we come back. She's running for U.S. Senate of Louisiana. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Sarita Stibb. She's running for U.S. Senate of Louisiana.

Yee? I want to talk about this school because like you said, you don't really talk about the things that you have implemented and done, but you've also helped other people become,

what is it, lab technicians? Yeah. Can you talk about that a little bit? Because I just saw that recently another class graduated. Yes. So that is one of like something that I'm extremely proud of. So when I started going back to school, I wanted to go to medical school. I don't know if it was naivety or what it was, but I just knew I was going to go to

school and be a doctor. But when I got on the path and the journey of doing my undergrad degree and I found out about clinical laboratory science, that's what my degree is in, I kind of fell in love with it. And I was like, okay, I'm going to get a working degree because I'm in my 30s. I got a kid. I need to work and go to school.

So I'm going to get this working degree and I'm going to go to med school and I'm going to, you know, raise my three-year-old son. Like, you know, that was my goal. So the way that I did it was I became a lab assistant while I was working on my clinical laboratory science degree. And what I found out is like all of the barriers that you have to overcome to enter a profession at a higher level were kind of lessened at a lower level. So when I decided to open the nonprofit, I wanted to create a lab assistant program where women could get certified and licensed as lab assistants. And then that would be their entryway into healthcare fields. And then from there, they could upgrade their degree. They can go to a two-year MLT degree or a four-year MLS degree.

They could go to be midwives, doctors, whatever they wanted to do because once they went through that initial entry point as a lab assistant, then the ceiling became unreachable. So it didn't happen. Worked on it, created 15 other programs before that one actually took off. So we were able to get some funding

and support from multiple entities, the Hilton Foundation, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, just all of these different places, because the COVID pandemic definitely showed was that there was a shortage of lab personnel and people to like work in the laboratory setting, which is something we've all known for years, but it really heightened it. So there was an appetite to do a rapid reskilling program and do a program inside of the prison to get people certified and licensed as lab assistants. So we began working with hospitals to get job placement and just all of these different things. And to date, we have graduated at six months, close to 30 women. I love that. Ask me about things. Yeah. And they are being placed in hospitals now. We help them. You know, we do everything.

We do the teaching. We pay any probation fees that they need in order to maintain their licensure. We pay for the applications, their fingerprints. We will buy uniforms. We help with child care. We help with transportation. Because, you know, people think that when you give somebody an opportunity, that's all that they need. But if you're not invested in a person taking advantage of the opportunity, it's like you haven't even given it to them.

It's still out of reach because they can't do all of the things that they need in order to grab hold of the programs at the organization at Operation Restoration are really like holistic and built in a way where like if you don't do this thing, it's truly because you're not ready at this time because we try to foresee any barrier and remove it for you. And when is the election? November 8th. November 8th. Yes. Everybody listening and they love your story and want to support. How can they support you? Yeah.

Campaigns need money, people. Okay. Kennedy has a whole lot of money in his campaign right now. So we got to make sure Sarita is competitive in that way also. Absolutely. I think that our community doesn't really understand in the same way that other communities know. That like people tell me, Sarita, I'm going to vote for you. And I'm like, thank you so much.

I appreciate it. But if we don't get some money, you won't be able to vote for you. And I'm like, thank you so much. I appreciate it. But if we don't get some money, you won't be able to vote for me. Even if you could do $10, guys, everything helps. So every, on all social medias, my handles are support Sarita Saib. So that's on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

It's support Sarita Saib. S-Y-R-I-T-A S-T-E-I-B. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Support Sarita. And that's the website as well? And the website is just www.saritastive.com. Yeah. I'm glad that you came up here because I did want you to just, your story to me is so fascinating.

And the work that you do also is like very organic. And I just feel like you'll be doing this regardless. It's not because you're doing this because you're running for office. This is the work that you've been putting in prior to this. And voices like this, we need. And so just for Louisiana to hopefully get some diversity and representation for a black woman to finally have this type of position would be really important. Yeah. And I'm the only woman in the race. And I am also pro-choice and all of the things that I think that I know how to, you know, fight for as it relates to women. But protecting marriage rights. Absolutely. I mean, my wife, I mean, if they take away, you know, marriage protection rights, like it affects me, like my wife and myself, we met when we were 19 and she's formerly incarcerated as well she does

amazing work in the bail industry the safety and freedom fund in new orleans because that's one of the programs that we bond people out who are unable to pay their bond um but i mean it's like this is what we do all day every day this is who we are and people say sarita like why are you running it is not just because i feel like i have. It is also like this is the next iteration of the places that we have been locked out of and that it is my responsibility to do everything in my power to grant access to spaces for people to begin to say what their needs are and say, hey, this is what we want. This is the type of policy that we need to see to bring relief to our communities. I don't think that, you know, my place in life is to do things for our people. It is to support and do things with people so that they can get the things that they need.

So that is my driving force. I've done a lot of work on the federal level, but what I also understood is, like, people don't even know what senators do. You know, like, what they're responsible for and we've seen some of them blocking bills and man listen the U.S. Senate is the long game like you know for real like the things that we are fighting for today will affect your children and your grandchildren like what we're seeing today in the world is from the Clinton administration you know the Bush administration it's not from Biden and

Trump. We haven't even seen those effects yet. And I think that people just really, really don't understand that and they don't grasp all of the things that the U.S. senators are responsible for. Well, I just donated, so you go out there and you donate right now. Please. You can start

off with $10. I mean, on the tab it's a little more than that, But you can donate whatever you want. All right? So just make sure you go support. No, federal elections, the maximum is $2,900. You can't donate more than $2,900. I'm going to have to send it back to you. Yeah, so you can donate up to, you know, anyone you want.

$10, $100, $255, $1,015, $2,900, like she said. Yee, did you donate yet? No, but I'm going to. All right. We'll get you on the spot. I just did. Make sure you donate yet? No, but I'm going to. All right. We'll put you on the spot. I just did. Make sure you donate. Again, it's Sarita Stibb, S-Y-R-I-T-A-S-T-E-I-B.com.

with Angela Yee. On Breakfast Club. Man, this Megan Thee Stallion versus Karl Crawford and J Prince back and forth is not going anywhere. Now, J Prince is defending Karl Crawford amidst all of this Megan Thee Stallion label issues. He posted, for years, we have stood by quietly as Megan and her management at Roc Nation has lied about Karl Crawford and his 1501 label. The truth is that Carl discovered, developed, and fully financed Megan earlier in her career,

which led to a life-changing distribution agreement for her with 300 Entertainment. From 1501's earliest agreement with Megan long before Megan was a household name, 1501 generously agreed to give Megan 40% of its profits, which is substantially more than the customary record royalty that a new artist receives from a record label. Any attempt to portray a contract that provides a new unknown artist with 40% of the label's profits as

unconscionable or unfair is blatantly false and contrary to the customs or norms in the music industry. So J Prince is saying the deal is she got 40% of the profits and that's not something that's usual in the music business. All right.

Why do they keep going back and forth? Why don't they settle us in court? Well, you know, Megan Thee Stallion, she's suing for a million dollars, and they've been going back and forth. And she posted, When my mama died, I knew a bunch of hood N-words who just started a label for the first time were not going to be able to manage me properly.

So I got with Rock. By this time, I was a bigger artist, and I asked to renegotiate, not leave. What was wrong with that? That man is greedy. I'm so over these grown-ass men trying to take credit away from the work me and my mama put into the beginning of my career.

Me and my mom developed my career. I was already known for freestyling, and I was already working on Tina Snow before I got to 1501. Now here what carl crawford had to say just saying y'all so real but you ain't never in houston you only put sauce walking them on the project because you ain't been around and you want everybody to think oh you h-town united south side when i'm here you ain't even from the south side man what is y'all talking about go Don't everybody know what happened? You know, they gonna act like they cool and all that shit.

Man, please. And man, I ain't worry about y'all. T-Ferris ain't worry about you. Y'all know that. You ain't gonna see him again until he need y'all for something else. Only time they come to Houston is when they from just some type of show or something.

Who else you help put on? You ain't got on no girls project. I ain't see you get on Key and the Men. Leave with J joe lee you know i'm talking about there's other girls from houston that you could help put on so real when you gonna do that now she said on social media they keep signing people and everyone got the same story go find all the girls and the guys that started over there with me and some of the girls after me ask anybody in Houston how that man is fake. He said he talks so much about J Prince. Now that's your bestie. Okay.

He also tried to say that Megan's not even from Houston. Megan is H-Town. Megan from San Antonio. Don't nobody got a dead end story about Megan. Go find one. Who saw Megan playing when they was a kid? Nobody. The H-Town Heidi ain't really from H-Town.

She rubbed Houston because everybody rubbed Houston. Everybody want to say they rubbed Houston. We so loved out of town. You know what I'm talking about? Everybody. Look at Drake. He like, you know what I'm saying? You got that effect everywhere. Now, Megan Thee Stallion responded to that and she said, One more thing, because he's still going, this 42-year-old man said he never heard a story about me playing as a kid where I'm from. Sir, I would hope 42-year-old men couldn't tell you where I was playing at as a kid. Now I'm just a made-up character from Houston. Nobody in Houston knows me.

I just started claiming Houston when I got famous like it ain't school pictures and some more ish out in the world. It's too much. I'm sure there's people that went to school with Megan, they're like, oh, I have to play with her. Yeah, so, man, I hate that the two of them

have to keep on going back and forth like this. So I don't know when her contract is up, but it feels like just fulfill the contract and move on and never deal with them again.

I've signed some things that I wish I hadn't signed, too. Well, I heard Charlamagne from Monk's Corner. Ain't no pictures of him in Monk's Corner as a kid. We've seen one. Yeah, we've seen it.

Glasses and... I don't know anything else about Monk's Corner. Sounds like he's there now. It sounds like he's in Monk's Corner. All right, now Sammy versus Ray J. There's some issues with the two of them. You know, they're in the group RSVP together. And Ray J went on his IG stories to discuss the issue that he had with sammy because of my actions and kicked me out of the group

because of my action all i'm saying is like you know and he ain't even really he ain't really even back and so it's you know i feel real bad about it because he ain't even want to back and i ain't even want to i love that you feel me like a mother brother i'm just saying we are trying to get this right and trying to be at peace with what what what what what it is you feel me well this is what it is we have peace now you feel me i love i love i love sammy we all been we all been partying they just started the group a week ago. He got kicked out already? Apparently, he's saying that he got into a fight with Sammy and beat him up. Now, Sammy is saying that did not happen. There's a bruise on his face, but here's his explanation.

I don't even know what Ray J put on his line, but I did hear that he said he f***ed me up. Ray J f***ing me up is like the equivalent of him hitting all the high notes. I broke my phone last night night and I lost my AirPods. So I'm buying new AirPods. Did take a fall last night. I didn't have my Crocs in sports mode. I'm good. I'm good. It was just a long night. What happened was I got two turns. I reached for the door and the door wasn't there and I fell. It was a long night. I reached for the door and the door wasn't there and I fell I reached for the door the door wasn't there and I fell they too old to be fighting So wait you telling me the party's not happening

What? RSVP I RSVP for nothing. Yes, you are telling me parties that happen. Jesus Christ By the way the lab I Nothing? Yes, you are. Nothing you're telling me? The party's not happening. Oh, man. Jesus Christ. So now it's just SVP? By the way, the last, I guess, the last time Ray J described the fight, it was way better, though. Just want to tell y'all that. Haven't heard him describe a fight in about 12 years. But the last time he described the fight was with Fabulous. That wasn't as good as the Fabulous one at all. All right.

Well, that is your rumor report. All right, Charlamagne. Who you giving that donkey to? Four after the hour, man. We're going to have a discussion about why when things look too good to be true, they probably are. We actually need to update that phrase, but we'll talk about it four after the hour.

All right, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Samsung's new Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 are foldable.

See terms and conditions that apply. Donkey of the day right here The breakfast club bitches You can call me the donkey of the day But like I mean no harm Donkey of the day for Wednesday August 24th Goes to a 37 year old man from Mississippi Named Joey Lee

Crooked letter I Crooked letter crooked letter I Hump back hump back I I'm not gonna lie This donkey is kinda hard to do Because it's always hard to do a donkey When you completely understand Why a person did what they did. And trust me, I totally understand why this brother, Joey, did what he did.

Look, man, times is hard out here. OK, the gap between the haves and have nots is wider than it's ever been. And that's why it's so easy to finesse folks nowadays with all of these, you know, get rich quick schemes. Yes. Sadly, people are trying to turn 700 into 7 000 on instagram but i just want to stress to all my peoples out there if it looks too good to be true then it probably is and that's why joey lee where has to get the biggest he heart today because he's 37 he should know better and what happened to him what happened to him lord lord he should know better let's go to to him? What happened to him? Lord. Lord, he should know better. Let's go to WXXV25 for the report, please.

Keesler Air Force Base has a group of volunteers who clean up periodically along the beach. While they were cleaning on Saturday, they found more than just trash. The volunteers were cleaning up around the beach near White Avenue and came across several bricks, which are actual kilos of cocaine. They found a total of eight wrapped up bricks of cocaine, which prompted an immediate call to Biloxi police. Before the day was over, 11 and a half bricks with a street value of one million dollars were recovered. One and a half bricks were found after arresting a man who decided to keep the bricks for himself. According to Biloxi Police, Joey Lee was charged with aggravated trafficking of a controlled substance.

He's awaiting an initial appearance. One and a half was actually discovered by a citizen and this is the important part. If you discover it, you should call us. He instead decided to do other things with it. And he was arrested and charged with aggravated trafficking. Poor Joey. I know future told us that God is blessing all the trap in words. The reality of the situation is Satan got a kingdom to don't think that everything that glitters is gold because it's not. And I'm the type of person if it's not from God, I don't want it. And trust me when I tell you drugs or drug money is not of God, but you have to put yourself in Joey's shoes to understand what could lead a person to this. We don't know what his financial situation is, but I'm going to just

assume it's not the greatest. All right. this brother has probably been praying for a plug when i say praying for a plug i don't even mean a drug connect i'm just saying this brother was praying for somebody to plug him into something anything that can make his financial situation better so imagine volunteering to clean up and they come across one million dollars in drugs in your mind you have to know you can't take that dope don't do it all right it's just like making a fake llc to get a ppp loan don't do it i know the government been getting over on us for years i completely understand you want some get back but do we understand we will never and i mean never be able to beat the system at its own game it's a trap all of this is by systemic design

that they keep us in these positions and lord we make it easy for them falling for this kind of bait. OK. And speaking of traps, I personally personally believe that's exactly what this was. Fifteen bricks of cocaine just rush up on show with some violent kids happen to be cleaning up with a Dior label on them. OK, let me tell you something. I would have ran away from those bricks. I'm talking I would have ran away and got 20 miles down the road and had someone else calling the police to tell them to come get they dope come get the dope they planted because me and mine not touching it you don't get a damn thing but trouble making that kind of discovery and the way my anxiety is set up the first thing i would have thought when i saw that dope is this is a trap all right the white man

about to drop a net on all of us we always talk about that expression if it's too good to be true it probably is but do we know what that truly means by definition this phrase is used to describe situations which are so good that it is barely believable that such a situation is possible or even likely 15 bricks of cocaine with dior logos washing up on show is highly unlikely and I know Joey you seen stuff like this happen in movies and you hear it in music and you probably saw this and said this is gonna be a lick it's gonna be a hell of a origin story but no if something seems more exciting

pleasing our ideal then seems reasonable then it likely isn't genuine legitimate are true okay if the bank accidentally puts a million in your bank account and are ideal then seems reasonable then it likely isn't genuine legitimate or true okay if the bank accidentally puts a million in your bank account and you decide to buy a house with it I personally believe that should be the bank's fault for making such a grave mistake and what do they expect you to do with a million dollars especially if you've been praying tithing offering waiting for a blessing and then something like that happens of course you're gonna spend it but you're also gonna be the one that ends up in trouble

because of it I know it's not fair all right we figured this out about life already but i guess joey still believed okay i guess he still believed that dope gave him hope and now he's been arrested and charged with aggravated trafficking and is being held on 150 000 bonds let me give you all the advice that police captain thomas goldworthy said if you discover it call us simple okay police are urging residents not to go down the same path as joey and they just want you to call authorities if you come across these kind of stashes like this yes my people please when you come across things like this i don't care if it's drugs guns money just look at it like it's all a trap because it is the system setting you up for failure once again all right the moral of the story is if something

seems to be good if something seems too good to be true keywords to be true it probably is we actually need to change that phrase to if something seems too good it's probably a scam so treat it like a scam and scram please give the latest victim in this evil systems wicked game joey where the sweet sounds of the hamiltons oh now you are the donkey of the day you are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. When we come back, ask he. 800-585-1051.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I've been wanting to call for a while, but I've been afraid. Now, yesterday I got some news that I would not, I was accepted into NYU residency program. Yesterday I got news that my financial aid would not cover everything. And that's fine. Now I have to shift.

I was very disappointed yesterday, crying and everything, but I can't stay stuck in that. So I do have a coaching business that I'm that I've been working on. I've been working on getting the website filled, just having people work with me to get it on. But I'm afraid to launch the coaching business. OK, the coaching business. Why are you afraid to launch it? I just feel, you know, I think I just, I've developed fear over the years just of being judged. I mean, I have the experience. I've been in therapy. I have a sociology degree. I did a lot to work on my own self.

And I also have a podcast that I'm working on. But the problem is that I'm standing in my own way. I know that for a fact. And I'm just afraid to just, you know, live my life the way I really want to live it. And that would be to launch my business. I wanted to do my residency with NYU. But that was just temporary. I would, you know, just be a job for now until I do fully become an entrepreneur so what's the so here's what I have to do because sometimes yes we get scared to do new ventures hope you know we get scared what

if it doesn't work out but what's the worst thing that could happen after you launch this business um I you know what it could well I would say it won't fail because I know who I am like I'm standing in my own way because I have personality I'm beautiful I'm kind I'm empathetic I'm literally everything and I'm not being conceited I just know the great attributes within myself right it's just the fear I cannot let go of this fear and it has plagued me for I would say 30 years and it's terrible you know the the thing you should be most scared of is not pursuing those things that of this fear and it has plagued me for, I would say, 30 years and it's terrible. You know, the thing you should be most scared of is not pursuing those things that you're passionate about. That's a scary thing.

That's scarier than even trying. You know, to me, the worst thing that could happen is you try and maybe it doesn't work the way that you anticipated, but you can always make it happen because like you said, you have the skills, you've been doing your research, you have all of the, what do you call it, credits to be able to do that. And so the worst thing that you could do is not even try. So I have one more follow up question. How do I get over the fear of social media? Because I have my website built, I have everything that I need to do to post on my my IG, Facebook, all of that. But I am afraid to do any of that. I have no problem talking to people. But it's just that social media thing, getting on there and doing live is that is.

Oh, my God. It's terrifying. Yeah. and you know what listen my whole thing is when it comes to social media the only things that people will know and respond to is what you put out there and that's fine there's going to be people that agree with you people who don't agree with you but what people will do is respect that you're even doing this and so I just feel like I get it like we have a lot of fears that are instilled in us and a lot of it, like you said, you're putting on yourself. But I think once you start doing it and get more comfortable doing it, sometimes the best thing to do is face your fears. Keep doing things that scare you. And then eventually it won't be as scary anymore.

There's a lot of things that I've been scared to do in my life. And sometimes you just got to go full force, do it. And then once you do it, it gets easier and easier every single time. But the main thing is to just do it, you know, and you're going to have to make some tweaks. Maybe you'll do you'll go live and you're like, OK, it would be better if I did it at this time. It's all, you know, calculated. And so I think for this to support what it is that you want to do and you want to help other people, the work that you're going to do is going to be really important. And so, you know, I think I actually really enjoy being scared to do something and then doing it successfully.

Those are the things that bring me the most joy, the things that I was most scared of. OK, you know what? I'm going to reach out there because you know what? I'm also trying to get ready for your show because I'm going to be on your show one day, Angela. There you go. What's your Instagram so people can follow you right now and see what you got going on? I don't have. That's the thing.

I don't have everything posted yet. Okay. So I'm going to call back though. I'm going to follow up. So I am working with the guys with my website. I have a whole team. So once I get that straight, I'm going to call back because I want to come correct. I don't want them to come to the website

but I don't have nothing going on. DM me so I can take a look at it when you're ready. I will. Thank you so much, Yee. Alright, bye-bye. We got more ASCII. 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. We're in the middle of ASCII. Hello, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hello, Yee. How you doing? What is it, Lenard? Yeah, yes, ma'am.

Oh, okay. We have a Lenard here. What's your question? Oh, yeah, I'm calling. My girl stepped out on me, cheated on me. Okay. I'm calling to see what I need to do about it. It's killing me.

Well, I see you still call her your girl, so you guys haven't broken up. No, ma'am. We rented our own house and we ain't been in seven months. Hmm.

So, and all this started since we moved in together. Okay, so explain to me what happened, how you found out she cheated, what's going on? Okay, well,

I did, somebody had no business. Okay. Well, I did. Somebody had no business doing it. We had been talking for like six or seven days, and she had went to sleep, and I went through her phone and seen the text where they had been texting and getting together, and I'm thinking I'm doing right, but all the while she was doing that, and I don't know how long it's been going on. Did you ask her? Yeah, but she won't talk. She won't talk.

Does she want to stay together and work it out or not? I kind of feel like she do, but she can still keep saying that I scarred her and hurt her. How did you hurt her? It's going to take time. I wasn't being the man she wanted to do

when I was helping other folks and helping her ex. She was talking to her ex at the beginning of the register. We've been together for 14 and a half years. Okay. So you stepped out and she has stepped out. No, ma'am. I ain't stepped out. I was just helping her and she didn't want me to continue helping.

I haven't cheated on her. Okay, so you were helping your ex. Yeah. Okay. And helping other folks that might need help. And y'all have been together fortunate. I think the main thing is that she has to take accountability for herself. Right?

And she can say that you've hurt her before, and that could be true. But what about what she's doing now to hurt you? That's not the answer. I'm not going to hurt you because you hurt me. She's also not answering any questions that you have. And she owes that to you to at least be able to have a conversation to put your mind, you know, so you can put these things together and make a decision based on all of the things that she tells you.

Because what if this is a relationship that she's been going on for six years? What if she's in love with... Exactly, yeah. See, listen. See, I'm saying the thing. They are in love. Because every morning, they work at the same job. Every morning.

Oh. Hey, babe, I love you. I'm sorry. It was a couple days we was at the house and a sister popped up and she told the guy, yeah, my sister messed up her plans to get with you. Oh, wow. You know, yeah.

Leonard, is this something that you really feel like you can move past and get over? Yes, ma'am. You think you could? Like you say. Is this something you really feel? Yeah, she won't open up. She won't open up and say, she'll admit she's sorry, but like you say, she won't take accountability for what she done. Yeah, I can't.

And she has to see this person at work every single day. Yes, ma'am. And the fact that she won't even take accountability, how is she supposed to move on and do the right thing when she won't even say what, you know, that what she did was wrong and that she's going to stop? You know, I'm going to say this, Lenard, you need to tell her what it is that she needs to do for you to feel more like you could even give it a chance. And if she can't do those things, then you can't be with her. OK, OK. You know, think about what it is that you need. This is what I need in order for me to even consider us working things out.

And to be honest, I don't know if she wants to work it out. If she's still going to work and talking to this person and not taking accountability and telling you let's take it one day at a time and she's not going really, really hard to try to make it happen, then I'm not sure where her head is at. Yeah, exactly. And that's what I'm trying to figure out. Because we can be there and

if you see her get texted, your phone ringing at 1130, text her 1130. I said, well, who's texting? Oh, they're my boys. Yeah, no, that phone ringing at 1130, texting 1130, I say, well, who's texting? Oh, they're my boys. Yeah, no, that's not fair to you, sir. She's going to do whatever she wants, and she's not taking accountability.

And if she can't do that, that's not somebody that you should be with. I know y'all have been together for a long time, but that don't mean you got to stay together. Okay, all right. That's what I need to hear. I promise I've been trying to call ever since that happened. I just want to get your opinion on it.

Yes. You deserve somebody who you can trust, okay, who actually you don't have to be going through their phone because you suspect something, and nobody wants to live their life like that. Okay. Thank you, Yee. Thank you. You're welcome.

All right. Thanks. All right, thank you, Yee. Thank you. You're welcome. Alright, thanks. Alright, that was Ask Yee. Now, if you want to talk to her, 800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and if DJ Khaled said it, it must be true. He talked about Jay-Z's verse on his album, God Did, would be

one of his greatest verses. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them.

With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All right, well, little TJ has a billboard up in the Bronx that says, I'm back. So that's good news. As you guys recall, he was shot at a Chipotle restaurant in the Bronx that says, I'm back. So that's good news. As you guys recall, he was shot at a Chipotle restaurant in Edgewater, New Jersey. On June 22nd, he was unconscious after an emergency surgery. People were concerned that he wasn't going to survive, but fortunately, he is back. Good. Yes.

So shout out to him. God bless little TJ. Absolutely. I wonder what his mindset is right now. I want to know how this situation changed him, you know? That's what I want to know. All right. Now let's talk about YK Osiris.

He was on lip service, and that episode came out yesterday. And one thing that he talks about a lot of different things. You know, he only gets oral with a condom on, he said. And he also talked about having sex with nine girls in one day. So in one day, in a span of 24 hours, what's the most amount of women you've ever had sex with? In one day?

Yeah. Like, nah. What? I was on tour, girl. Sorby Bargain. And then like every four minutes. Like, every four minutes. So they ran a train on you.

No, like... Yeah, they did. It was like back to back. It was like three back to back. But I get to the hotel. Like. Were you able to **** them any time? I wouldn't think about it.

I was just having fun. Did you **** them or were you like holding it? Some of them I did. Ooh, hump day Wednesday. Yes. Nine is a lot. Mm-mm-mm. In one day.

So they definitely ran a train on him. All now dj khaled sat down with speedy mormon for complex and he talked about jay-z's verse on god did he said it's good enough to make it onto the list of his greatest verses there's been a lot of rumblings khaled about one verse in particular it's this jay-z verse just i've just been hearing rumblings about it what the rumors are true the rumors are true you know a lot of rumors are not true but these it's true people saying it's the best jay verse they've heard in a long time i let y'all decide that i'm telling you is if there was a greatest hits of jay-z verses it's on there that i'll tell you for a fact.

Okay. I like the way Khaled sold that because everybody else has been putting a lot of sauce on this whole verse, okay? And, you know, I call this Memphis bleaking something because remember when Jay put too much sauce on Bleak back in the day, he told us Bleak was the new improved him. And we love Bleak. Bleak was great. He got bangers, but Ho put too much sauce on Bleak.

So we had an expectation. And when he didn't meet that expectation, we didn't appreciate Bleak like we should. So therefore, I don't want to have no expectation for this verse. So I'm glad. I like how Khaled sold that just now. All right. In addition to that, he talked about how he felt when Barack Obama walked out to his record. All I do is win. You know, hip hop believed in you. But when you saw Obama walk out to All I Do Is Win, I imagine that had to be something that she was like,

what the fuck? I was sleeping in the Satay Hotel in New York. I was working at Def Jam at that time, and my phone wouldn't stop ringing. Had a hundred texts. Sway hit me up. Yo, Obama just walked out to your shit, All I Do Is Win. Then I started getting a million calls.

My mom, this and that and that. You know how that felt the president our president that we love that I still love that I still feel like he's my president Obama walked out to all I do is when he could have picked any record that's a fact he picked a DJ Khaled one that's dope it's a good feeling yeah that's big that's big that's the start all right and Megan Markle has launched her Spotify podcast series. And the first episode, Archetypes, is Serena Williams. Here is Serena Williams talking about retiring.

And here's what she had to say about making those decisions. Don't think I'm sad. It's not sad tears. They're just like, it's weird because you have to think about it. I've been doing this since I was, since I can remember and I'm 40 years old now. So it's like my whole entire being and my whole entire life has been for one purpose. Honestly, I can't wait to wake up one day and literally never have to worry about performing on such a high level and, you know, competing. And I've actually never felt that.

I mean, I've had a baby and I stopped and I've had injuries, but there was always somewhere in the back of my mind that it's still a possibility.

So Megan Markle gave up the throne to be a podcaster.

Drop on the Clues Bonds podcasting, dammit. Alright. Makes me wonder what Lisa McDowell would have done with herself if Prince Hakeem would have gave up the throne. You think Lisa would have gotten the radio back in the

early 1900s? Maybe she didn't do the mixtape. I'm sure she'd be doing more than hosting a podcast. Yeah. Well, yeah, because her daddy was an entrepreneur. What do you mean more than hosting a podcast? I said I'm sure she's doing more than just that, though.

Well, Spotify, I'm sure, gave her. No, I'm not sure. Spotify gave her a big bag, all right, to do that podcast. I just wonder what Lisa McDowell would have done. She was in Queens. She would have done mixtapes. She would have had the dope echo on and everything.

Mixtapes, right? Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because she was in the, what, 80s? Eighth decade of the 1900s? 80s, yeah. She would have did mixtapes. Yeah. All right. Well, thank you for yeah, yeah. Because she was in the 80s, 19th decade of the 1900s. 80s, yeah. She did the mixtapes. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.

Well, that was rumor report. I said donkey of the day. Thank you for that rumor report. People's Choice mixes up next. Let's go. Take a breakfast club. Your mornings will never be the same. Leaving a child in a hot vehicle can lead to their death very quickly.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. All right, it's time to get up out of here.

Charlamagne, you got a positive note? Yes, the positive note is simply this.

It comes on every Thursday night at 11.30 p.m., but you can scream it on Paramount+. A lot of people have been screaming it on Paramount+. I just want to say thank you, man,

and continue to catch up on Hell of a Week on Paramount+. Okay? Okay. Now, the positive note is simply this. If you are serious about growth, be serious about accountability. If you are serious about abundance, be serious about gratitude. If you are serious about intimacy, be serious about vulnerability. If you are serious about discipline, be serious about delayed gratification. Breakfast club, bitches!
