Oh, man, we hear what's happening. How y'all feeling? Man, that Mega Millions jackpot is over a billion dollars. Woo! Clearly nobody won. Nobody won, yes. There was some, you know, ticket winners. People won like a million dollars here and there, but no big winners. I gotta check mine.

Nobody in this room won. No. I didn't even play. I'm about to play now. I think I will come to work if I won still for a few days. You don't want everybody to know yet. Who's going to know? I just said I got COVID. Then I'll be down there cashing my check. I still come to work and feel good about it.

I'm going to say I got COVID. I'm going to be down there cashing my check. And then, you know, I'm going to pray and see what God takes me in life. Yeah. See what God wants me to do. I'm not even going to say I got COVID. I'm just going to change my number. A Billy?

I don't know what I would do, to be honest with you. We all say what we would do when we hit that Mega Millions, but who knows? I play the Mega Millions all the time, though. This ain't nothing new. I play Mega Millions and Powerball all the time. I've been playing Powerball since it came to South Carolina as part of the Powerball South Carolina Education Lottery. So it's just a habit at this point.

Now, if you cash out, you get about $600 million. I'm fine with that. That's cool. Yep. That's cool. Yeah, I'm fine. $1.7 billion. How does that go look on the sign? $600 million. I'm fine with that. That's cool. Yep. That's cool. Yeah, I'm fine. $1.7 billion. How does that go look on the sign?

$1 billion. Yeah, $1 billion. Oh, it's $1 billion? $1.025. How that's going to look on the sign? You know, when you're driving and you see the sign and say how much you did? I ain't never seen that. That's like when you try to put a number in the calculator and it's too high, so it just

ends up being a bunch of zeros. I wonder what that's going to look like. I wonder if you take that monthly payout or whatever what that is. I would never take that. I'm getting the one lump sum. Yeah, that's people that just don't play lotto. You take that lump sum and keep it moving. That's right. Give me that one lump sum.

You pay less taxes though. Who cares? Why do you need that lump sum? Why not? Yeah, I want to be able to give it to my family, give it to people I want to give it to and friends. But you can still give it. That's a lot of money all the time. Nah, I don to be able to give it to my family, give it to people I want to give it to and friends. Like, I ain't waiting. But you can still give it. That's a lot of money all the time. Nah, I don't want no allowance. That's right.

Give me that whole lump sum. Give me my money. Mr. IRS man. That's when people go crazy when they get all that money at once. Uncle Sam, take what you need to take and, you know, I'll figure out the rest. Absolutely. We'll be fine. No allowance.

And you know what? Shout out to Jose, the credit dude. He's been up here yesterday. He had a kickball game, his first annual kickball game. And what it was, was it was people. He really Dominican, bro. I mean. I just played kickball with Donnell.

You are absolutely part of the Dominican. My team against Donnell's team. Nah, we did it because. You'll be playing handball in a second. Nah, you stupid. There's so many people that are into, whether it's credit, into real estate, into generational wealth, into financial literacy. It was just a bunch of people that are in that space

so that you can actually talk to people. So EYL, shout out to the brothers Mernia and Elysia. They had a team. Cesar had a team. I had a team, the credit dude, and we just had a huge kickball game. We bodied EYL. It was my team versus EYL. Bodied Rashard and Troy.

Bodied them. They was out early. Shoot to my guys, man. Shoot to EYL. We actually did lose, but it was just a good fun time. You lost? I thought you said you bodied them. They was out early. Slued to my guys, man. Slued to EYL. We actually did lose, but it was just a good fun time. You lost? I thought you said you bodied them. It was a tournament, so we beat them out, and then I finally lost.

It doesn't matter. Y'all lost. Yeah, we did lose. Slued to EYL, man. It was a good time because people were able to ask questions about real estate. While they were playing kickball? Yeah, because it was a whole event. So not every team was playing at the same time.

So while two teams are playing, other people are just walking around talking to people. And then two more teams are playing, and then you're talking to people. So people got a chance to get the knowledge that they needed to ask questions about whether it was credit or real estate or stocks or crypto or whatever it may be, which was pretty dope. And the event was free. So it was no charge and nothing like that. It was just a give back event. So it was pretty dope yesterday. Man, when we played Donnell's team, it was the streets versus the creeks.

And my team was the streets. We killed Donnell, but Donnell injured himself early on in the game. He pulled something. So he couldn't even play. In kickball? Yes. Salute to my guys, EYL, though, man.

They got InvestFest August 5th through the 7th in Atlanta. I'll be out there on the 6th. And then, you know, EYL, they're doing the Black Effect Podcast Festival on August 28th in Brooklyn. You know, so go get your tickets at blackeffect.com slash podcast festival. Yeah. They're going to be hanging out with me this Sunday. We're doing a seminar in the city.

They're going to be speaking on that. So shout out to those brothers. But let's get the show cracking. All right. Front page news. What are we talking about? All right. Well, we already talked about the Mega Millions. So let's talk the conversations keep going.

That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the

real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets.

We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakatistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

So, 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. 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.

And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. 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. To her partner. My man, Young Dolph, man.

Rest in peace, Dolph. Brother would have been 37 years old today, brother. Didn't even really get to live, man. Dropping the clues bombs for Young Dolph. That's why I'll never understand people who lie about their age or hide their age. Every year is truly a blessing, man. Absolutely. That brother would have been only 37 years old today.

Imagine, you know how young 37 is? Come on, man. Absolutely. That brother would have been only 37 years old. Imagine, you know how young 37 is? Come on, man. Alright, well let's get into some front page news. Where we starting, Yeezy? Alright, well Brittany Griner is expected to testify in a Russian courtroom today. It's part of her ongoing trial on drug charges. She's facing,

as you know, up to 10 years in prison. So they did confirm that she is testifying, and prosecutors will also have the opportunity to question her. She pleaded guilty at the court near Moscow earlier this month, a decision that the defense hopes will be taken into account by the court and perhaps give her a less severe sentence. They're really dragging this.

I mean, Jesus Christ. It was just a vape cartridge, Russia. Now, in the meantime, she had a message for her wife, Cheryl Griner, who recently graduated from law school. Here is what she said. Do you want to say something to Cheryl? Good luck on the bar exam.

How do you feel? Do you have any complaints? No complaints. Waiting patiently. She said no complaints, just waiting patiently. But she did wish her good luck on the bar exam. And she was holding up two photographs. And she said, my wife, my two best friends, my teammates, those were the photographs.

Well, hold your head, Brittany. It'll come to a conclusion soon. All right. The United States now leads the globe in confirmed monkeypox cases, according to new data that was published by the CDC. And so there is a total of 3,846 known monkeypox cases as of Monday. And that surpasses Spain and Germany. They have about 3,123 cases.

Can you just tell me about it? Because I'm not going to front. I've heard about it, but I really don't know much about it. How long do you have it for? Do you have to, you know, quarantine for five days? And is there, you know, what can you take for it? Is there... Well, symptoms usually start within...

Yeah, they do have a vaccine. That's been hard to get, by the way. You have to make an appointment to get one. Now, the symptoms usually start within three weeks of exposure to the virus. So they anticipate there may be an increase in cases throughout the month And it typically occurs through close contact for an extended period of time Or contact with articles of clothing, bedding, towels that have been in contact Here's a guy who actually has monkeypox

And here's what he had to say about it If you hear of a friend or a loved one that has this Message them, support them them ask them if they need anything just let them know that they're not some kind of pariah that they're not dirty and that it's going to be okay it's not lethal it's just very temporary it's scary for the moment yeah the vast majority of those cases 99% of the cases reported domestically have been related to male-to-male sexual contact. Why do they keep saying that? And they did confirm that two children in the U.S. tested positive for monkeypox.

One case has occurred in a toddler who is a resident of California, and the other is an infant who is a non-U.S. resident. Do they realize how much of a negative stereotype that is when they keep saying that it's spread mostly through man-on-man sex. Because anybody who gets it, you know, now they're going to be open to ridicule and being teased and being called gay. And what if they're not? Like, you can't say, hey, it's mostly spread by people through man-on-man sex. Then turn around and say, but it's not exclusive to them. Like, why even put that out there? Well, 99% is a huge percentage, though. I guess they're just putting out the facts.

And then they say it's not an STD. Like, once again, they're putting out all the facts. Didn't they say it's not an STD? Once again, they're putting out all this information about something that doesn't quite make sense. Yeah, no, I guess they're putting out the facts.

And how long does it last when you do have it? I don't know how long it lasts. I'm sure it differs and varies from person to person. I just wonder how long it lasts. How much did you say?

99%. It's for male-to-male sexual contact. So if you don't have male-to-male sexual contact, you shouldn't have to worry about it. But there's a 1% chance you can get it.

I mean, these infants, we just told you about two children that have it. So if it's a 1% chance of people who are not having male-to-male sexual contact getting it, why are they putting it in the news every single day? I just don't understand why they say that. They turn around and say it's not exclusive to gay men. That makes no sense to me. I don't know why they're putting the target on gay men's back like that. That makes no sense.

All right, well, that is your front page news. That makes sense to you? It does not. Oh, okay. It does not. I mean, obviously, these infants didn't have milk. That's my point. You know, but if 99% is a huge percentage.

I guess they're giving out facts. It's letting you know, like, that's mainly how it spreads. Then they say it's not an STD, and they say it's not exclusive to gay men, so why keep highlighting the fact that it's spread through men and men's sex? That makes no sense to me. It's more of a risk in that community is what they're saying. All right, well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. We'd love to hear from you. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yo, what up, man? This is T out of 803. What up, brother? Metro. Get it off your chest. Jenkinsville, Salome.

You know I got to represent. Jenkinsville. What's happening, King? Ain't nothing, man. I got a few things I want to get off my chest, man. But I'm going to hurry up because I know y'all hang up on me. No, NBB hanging up on people. I don't, but go ahead.

Hey, hey. They hung up on me yesterday. I'm the one they called about putting out a play or something. See? Yeah, they hang up on me yesterday. I was the one they called about putting out a pay-as-notice. See? Yeah, they hang up on us. But anyway, I want to give a shout-out to the person who took my $400

out of my account. What? Yeah, I got hit. All the way from Los Angeles at Bank of America. Shout-out to them, too, for getting me to run around about my money.

How the hell they just took $400 out? You sure you didn't try to turn $400 to $4,000, bro, on Instagram? I go to work, man. I don't mess with the scams and the PPP loans

and all that stuff. Okay. But yeah, they got me. I get it, man. Bank of America just gave me the half a price

of a shout-out. All right. Yeah, and Charlemagne, I know you like comedy and all that, man, so next time at USR Carolina, I'll be the field man at the Crystal Ballroom.

My boy Johnny Mack, straight out of Fairfield, Williamsburg. Hey, he funny. He up and coming. He'll be around soon, but check him out, man. If anybody around at the Crystal Ballroom. Johnny Mack, Crystal Ballroom. John Burr, South Carolina. 864.

I will do, sir. All righty. Hello, who's this? Oh, Mac. Crystal Ballroom. 864. I will do, sir. All righty. Hello, who's this? Gene. Gene from New Jersey. Hey, Gene. What up? Get it off your chest.

Yeah, I have an issue. I want to get it off my chest, man. I have a problem. First of all, good morning to everybody. Good morning. Good morning. My issue is with Charlamagne. Nobody got on Charlamagne case.

So Charlamagne is the champion for mental health rights, something that I actually support. I go to therapy. But then I heard you make a joke about the guy that came on the radio the other day.

He was like, yeah, well, he got a problem because that fat woman rolled over on top of him. So I'm like, how you gonna champion, you can't champion mental health like, how you going to champion, you can't champion mental health rights, bro, and mental health, and make offhanded comments about people who suffer from mental health issues as a result of issues like obesity.

When do you make that up? I don't know what he's talking about. You know what you probably heard, bro? I really don't. No, no, no, I know exactly what I heard. One morning, he gave the donkey, he gave the donkey to somebody, and asked specifically what the issue was. And you said, oh, no, the issue was when she rolled over on top of him.

Yeah, you know what you probably heard, bro? You probably heard. I know what I heard. You want to listen to me or you want to cut me off so I can explain? I'm listening. Okay. You probably heard an old clip because what they do is they play old donkeys all the time and play old clips. No, I don't think that was old, though You probably heard an old clip because what they do is they play old donkeys all the time and play old clips.

No, I don't think that was old, though. That was an old clip? No, but I think that you're taking it out of context. Like, what's the problem with her rolling over on top of him? No, the issue with her rolling over on top of him, the inference that you made was that he should have had an issue with her being heavy and rolling over on top of him. How you get that from me saying she got on top of him? Okay, so...

I'm asking. You said... I didn't say that. I don't remember her being obese, but you said that. It's my fault for not remembering the entire... Either way, man. I don't know. Either way, there's nothing wrong with... But that's not the only one, though. And, you know, because I'm a big fan, though, by the way.

And, like, the one that really got under my skin was the time when the girl with the baby father who dropped off the food. Yeah, I was dead wrong on that because I've been in. McDonald's. Yeah, and I've been a kid. And so if you're in a McDonald's. Yeah, and I've been a kid. And so if you're in a relationship with a woman, right? I said the guy should have bought all the kids food. Really, Charlamagne?

That's what I said. I absolutely said the guy should have bought... Hey, hang up on this guy. Nah, hang up on him. I need you to have your facts straight before you talk before you... You just told him not to hang up. Now you gotta hang up? Oh, you're right.

Okay, you're right. But I... Hang up on him. You gotta have your facts straight, brother. I you... You just told him not to hang up. Now you gotta hang up? Oh, you're right. You're right. Okay, you're right. But I... You gotta have your facts straight, brother. I was actually the one that said that. You gotta do it. You gotta have

your facts straight, brother. And listen, I'm not perfect. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna continue to... I like making jokes. That's actually part of my mental health routine.

That makes me... That brings me joy. All right. But I absolutely said that guy should have bought all those kids food. I mean, he might not be able to afford it. I'm not going back to have this debate with you. Me neither. Okay.

But he was holding that in for a while. Yeah, but you got to have your information right. I ain't got to have it right. No. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to hit us up now, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Power 105.1. I'm darling. I'm darling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm darling. I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.

Let's go. I'm in Dallas this weekend, actually. Good morning, Mama. Good morning, good morning. And I just wanted to get off my chest. My car is in the shop right now. And I feel like these dealerships just be fixing piece by piece just to get you back in there to spend more money. They're talking about now I got to pay $2,000 because something is wrong with the inside of my engine.

But I just feel like I'm fixing too much of those. Damn. Well, don't worry because them dealerships are about to be hitting the minute. All those cars that they purchased overpriced, those cars are coming down in price. They're going to be upside down. So they're going to feel it in a little bit. And that's what they're probably feeling it now. So they're probably charging people for extra-ish.

Tell them, M.D., you feel them, but they ain't got nothing to do with your engine right now. I know, right? And then they said the parts is only like $500, and the label is $1,500. I can do it myself. You can't do it yourself. How do you know what this woman can do? She might have went to,500. I can do it myself. You can't do it yourself. How do you know what this woman can do? She might have went to trade school. I can get on YouTube.

I can get on YouTube and figure out exactly what to do. That's right. All right. Figure it out, boo. Sometimes you might have to do that to save some money. It's going to take you probably three weeks to do that. What's wrong with the car? I mean, but that's okay.

That's okay because right now my boyfriend helped me out with his car. Can I tell you my request? Yes, please. Okay, I want to shout that's okay. That's okay because right now my boyfriend helped me out, you know, with his cause. Can I shout him out real quick? Yes, please. Okay, I want to shout out my boyfriend, 7 to 6.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now we got rumors on the way? Yes, and Chris Rock sat down with Kevin Hart and talked about people saying that his comedy mainly appeals to white people. Find out what his response is. All right, we'll get into that next. This is The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. J.M.V., Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Lil Duvall. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. All right, well, hopefully Little Duval is okay.

He posted himself on a stretcher, and he said, Somebody hit me in a car while I was on my four-wheeler, and now my leg broke, and I got to get flown over to NASA and have surgery. So hopefully everything is okay with him. Prayers up for my guy, man. He FaceTimed me yesterday from the hospital

when he was high off morphine. Let's just say Little Duval is fed with a comedian. And that's the scariest part when you're on vacation and you do those excursions that you hope that, you know, if something does happen, that, you know, whatever hospital that's close by can help you out. Because he had to fly over to another. To Nassau. Yeah.

Another island. We were on vacation once in Jamaica, and my friend, the four-wheeler, flipped over on her arm arm and we had to go to the hospital in Kingston and we spent like eight hours in the hospital

that day. And my cousin the same thing, a four-wheeler fell on him and I think he broke his leg and it was hard

to get attention and get help. I think Duval broke his leg too. They had to get a bunch of people to lift the four-wheeler up off of her.

She was screaming. I'm sending healing had to get a bunch of people to lift the four-wheeler up off of her. Wow. She was screaming. Wow, wow, wow. I'm sending healing energy to my brother, little Duval. Salute to my man, Clay, man. And I'm just glad that my guy's still here with us. Absolutely. All right, now Chris Rock did an interview

with Kevin Hart for his Peacock TV series, Heart to Heart. And he spoke a lot of things. One of the things that he talked about was people saying his comedy mainly appeals to white people. When it was time to do my next special, I'm like, oh,

oh, you think only white people like me. Okay. Well, I'm going to the Apollo. And there ain't gonna be no white people nowhere. And I'm gonna call the special bigot. This is the blackest special you will ever see. I have fought battles.

I have told s*** to shut up in comedy clubs. It's the success of the comedian that has found a way to cross over and appeal to all. People remove the word universal and they just throw in the word white. I never thought that when I came to Chris Rock's comedy. I never thought that. I'm sitting here thinking, well, I must be white

because Chris Rock's comedy has been appealing to me for damn near 30 years. It's been black. I'm sitting here thinking, well, I must be white because Chris Rocks comedy has been appealing to me for damn near 30 years. It's been black. I love all his stand-up specials. Everybody hates Chris. It's one of my favorite sitcoms ever. So I must be transracial because I'm black,

but I highly enjoy Chris's comedy. So I guess that means I identify as white. I used to love when Chris Rock had his Chris Rock show on HBO, too. Who are you talking about? That's what I'm saying. People say that,

and I'm always confused because Chris Rock has been so black in the mainstream for so long. I'm talking about blackity black. I mean, we played this drop off all along. Kevin Hart said people said similar things about him. And they talked about a lot of other comedians that were quote unquote mainstream like Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle and Martin Lawrence. And another thing that they discussed.

I've never seen it with none of those. All of those brothers are blackity black. I mean, I guess they know what people say about them. Who are these people? We are the people. We the people. We the consumers. If they say that they heard it, I'm sure they heard it.

I don't know where they're hearing that from. Because Chris Rock, first of all, you can't be called a white, say that your comedy appeals to white people when you use crack as much as Chris Rock. That's what I was saying. The only one that I was a little late on, I was a little late on Dave Chappelle. Dave, now Dave early on appealed to a lot of white people. Now that's

the only one. I think the movie Half-Baked was part of the reason for that. Half-Baked, yeah, because Killing Me Softly was a great stand-up special, but even then he had a large white fan base. To me, it wasn't until he put out the Chappelle show where black people started gravitating towards Chappelle. Yeah, but everybody else there was blackity black. Black, black, black, black, black, black, black.

From the beginning. Chris Rock was pokey. Play my favorite Chris Rock drop, Eddie, one time. Come on. You know what I want to hear. Just in case y'all thought he wasn't black. Alright, well, he's getting that ready. Let's talk about what else happened in this interview. So, he also talked about, Kevin Hart talked

about the best advice that Chris Rock ever gave him. You heard it. Crack! Crack her ass! Crack her! One of the best pieces of advice that I've ever gotten was from you in regards to comedy. It was, hey, don't be local.

Go be funny for everybody. And when I think about what that meant and I think about you in your prime and even in now. Well, you define funny differently because you stayed true to yourself. You never shy away from what you feel, but you made everybody f***ing grasp what it was that you were trying to say. It was never a barrier of language of what does he mean. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. You can watch that whole interview again.

Like we said, that's Heart to Heart on Peacock. I just want y'all to know that Chris Rock is back saying my favorite word, too. In the special? That's all I'm going to say. Chris Rock is back saying my... Hey, Eddie! Crack a ass!

Crack a... I didn't know he stopped. No, he did for a while. He even stopped doing the N-word versus black people joke for a while. But, yeah, he-word versus black people joke for a while he wasn't saying that like that cracker ass cracker

you're going to hear it a few times in his new material that's dope so he just says it completely like cracker ass cracker not exactly in that context but he says it a few times cracker ass cracker you should go see it ego def he's out for the rest of the year he's out he's on the roll Crack an ass tight, Eddie! You should go see it. You should go see it. Damn. Ego death. Ego death towards...

He's out for the rest of the year. He's out. He's on the roll. All right. Well, shout out to Chris Rock and Kevin Hart, man. And Dave Chappelle. That's right. All right.

Now, front page news. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about Instagram. There's a whole thing going around, a petition. They want to bring back the old Instagram again. The Instagram sucks right now. We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.

the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Shout out to Bun B and Trill Burgers. They're bringing burgers up here for everybody this morning. I saw he was on Good Morning America yesterday, right? Yeah, so he said he wants to stop by, just bring some burgers. He wants us to try his burgers. Even if it's a bite or two, he just wants us to put that meat in your mouth.

Did he get me some vegan burgers? I've been wanting a Trill Burger for a long, long, long, long time. But I'm not eating a Trill Burger at 7 o'clock in the morning. Just take a bite. One bite. No. I'm going to save it until later on at lunchtime. All right.

Well, there you go. I'm not doing that. All right. Where we start, Yeezy? Bam, bun. All right. Well, let's start. That's not like he be playing that.

Well, what else can he do? You got something to go. She got something to do. I got something to do. What do I have to do? What are you talking about me for? I don't know where we going to be at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. I'm here.

You guys are the ones that are leaving, not me. Very poor plan. Don't put that on me. She got something to do. Yeah, I do. I have to go host Good Day New York this morning. That's not me. Don't put me in it. Little buns in town this morning. Shout out to Bumpy. Okay, there you are.

You good? I'm great. Okay. Now, Instagram, there's a petition for people to make Instagram, Instagram again. Kylie Jenner posted. Stop trying to be TikTok. I just want to see cute photos of my friends. Sincerely, everyone.

Kim Kardashian posted it as well. And so there's also a change.org petition that they reposted to their stories. That's the petition. Yeah, Instagram sucks now. And so now it has over 150,000 people that signed it. And Adam Aseri, who's been up here before in the Breakfast Club, he's the CEO, he responded and here's what he had to say about what's happening on Instagram right now. He said, I want to address a few things we're working on to make Instagram a better experience. Please let me know what you think.

The second thing I'm hearing a lot of concerns about right now are photos and how we're shifting to video. Now I want to be clear, we're going to continue to support photos. It's part of our heritage. I love photos. I know a lot of you out there love photos too. That said, I need to be honest. I do believe that more and more of Instagram is going to become video over time. We see this even if we change nothing. We see this even if you just look at chronological feed. If you look at what people share on Instagram, that's shifting more and more to videos over time. If you look at what people like and consume and view on Instagram, that's shifting more and more to videos over time. If you look at what people like and consume and view on Instagram, that's also shifting more and more to video over time, even when we stop changing anything. So we're going to have to lean into that shift while

continuing to support photos. I don't like the new timelines that they have. All of a sudden, people just start pulling up on my timeline. Yeah, the recommendations. I hate when it's like, I don't want to see this person. Who is this? That's whack. Here's what he had to say about that. The third thing I want to talk about is recommendations. Recommendations are posts in your feed from accounts that you do not follow. The idea is to help you discover new and interesting things on Instagram that you might not know even exist. Now, if you're seeing things in your feed that are recommendations that you're not interested in,

that means that we're doing a bad job ranking and we need to improve. And you can X out a recommendation. You can even snooze all recommendations for up to a month or go to your following feed. But we're gonna continue to try and get better at recommendations because we think it's one of the most effective and important ways to help creators reach more people.

We wanna do our best by creators, particularly small creators. Nope, and I hate it. Stop recommending and showing me content from people I don't follow. I think I've beaten that, though. Because when you block a bunch of them, when you hit like five or ten of them, it'll stop showing them to you all together. I'm going to tell you what else y'all

need to be protesting. Against those damn bots asking me if I want something long and hard. Okay? Stop telling me you want me for breakfast. That's a recommendation. I get confused. That's a recommendation. When you search something, you probably search something long and hard. You probably look for glizzies. That's a recommendation. I get confused. When you search something, you probably search something long and hard. You probably look for glizzies. That's a damn lie.

That's a damn lie. That's a damn lie. And they show you glizzies. That's a damn lie. And those bots attack you so fast, you think you done posted something and it's ripping. You're like, oh, shoot.

This thing got 80 comments in 20 seconds? And then you go, and then there's a bunch of women talking about, let me have you for breakfast. What would you do if you found me alone in a room? Call the police, white woman. What the hell are you talking about, let me have you for breakfast. What would you do if you found me alone in a room? Call the police, white woman.

What the hell are you talking about? Ask me stupid-ass questions. Yeah, they need to stop that. All that sponsor stuff, I really, really hate. All right, now you also talked about full-screen IG and other things. One is, if you're seeing a new full-screen version of a feed, or you're hearing about it, know that that is a test. It's a test to

a few percentage of people out there, and the idea is that a more full screen experience, not only for videos but for photos, might be a more fun, engaging experience. But I also want to be clear, it's not yet good and we're going to have to get it to a good place if we're going to ship it to the rest of the Instagram community. Now, this is a lot of change all at once, but know that a number of things about Instagram are going to stay the same. We're gonna stay committed to creators more broadly. We're gonna stay committed to supporting photos.

We're gonna stay in a place where we try and put your friends' content at the top of feed and in the front of stories whenever possible. But we're also gonna need to evolve. Hey, by the way, y'all trippin' though. I don't just want pictures on Instagram. I like the videos and reels. I think that is a great way to get information out.

I disagree with that part of it. Are people saying they don't like seeing videos on Instagram? I like watching videos on Instagram. No, I like the videos too but I like the pictures. The way that they do it now people don't get to see your pictures that follow you anymore. It's real weird if you notice it. Some people never get to see your

pictures anymore. There's a lot of shadow banning going on. A lot of shadow banning, which I hate. We need to bring him back up here when Adam gets a second because there's so many other questions and I feel like they're not doing anything to fix it. Alright, Adam, pull up. We'll see what happens. And that is your front page news. I think Adam got an open door

policy. I gotta clear with Boosie first, but I'm pretty sure Adam can come up here whenever he wants to. Gotta make sure Boosie allows it. first, but I'm pretty sure Adam can come up here whenever he wants to. Gotta make sure, yeah. Gotta make sure Boosie allows it. Nah, but I'm going to be honest with you, I don't care. None of these social media platforms are. You know what I mean? They can turn all of these things off tomorrow, and we're just

going to have to figure something else out. Because before Instagram, it was just TwitPic. Remember TwitPic? When you used to just post pictures on Twitter, and then Instagram came along, and then TikTok, all this stuff is new. It'll be something else in the next couple of weeks. Fan base is out there. It's a bunch of different platforms, man.

All right, now when we come back, who's joining us? I know they have the Aftershock documentary. Tanya Lewis-Lee. Tanya Lewis-Lee, yes. As well as Omari, who was featured in the documentary. His wife died after giving birth.

It was preventable. And they're going to talk about how black women have three to four times more likely to have issues, die during childbirth than right after. And we'll get to that next. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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 some special guests joining us this morning. They produced the Aftershock documentary. Tanya Lewis-Lee and Omari Maynard. Good morning. Good morning. How are y'all? Good morning. What's happening? of awesome conversation happening, especially, you know, specifically with this month being BIPOC Mental Health Month. But Aftershock in itself

is just such a dope film. I'm so excited that it's actually out now and it's streaming on Hulu. Just talk about it. They examined the maternal mortality rate in America. Definitely. Especially for black women, too.

And I think this is something we've discussed, how that rate is so much higher than white women. Yeah, black women are dying at three to four times the rate of white women from childbirth complications in New York City and it is it is a crisis it's a national crisis that people haven't been talking about that's why I directed and produced the film so that we could have a conversation I'm so grateful to Amari for allowing us to come into his life at a very difficult time

and open himself up to the camera so that everybody can understand what it's like for a family to lose someone from childbirth complications and what it takes for someone to pick themselves up and not only heal for themselves, but also try to heal the community because that's really what Amari's doing. No, I love the fact that y'all did Aftershock from the perspective of two men, because that's one of the reasons I got a doula. We went and got Latham because I saw Charles Johnson. Are you familiar with Charles Johnson? I saw Charles Johnson on CNN back in the day,

and I just could not imagine something like that happening. And my second daughter was born because of an emergency C-section. She was born a month early, got rushed to the hospital, did the C-section. And that could have went either way. And it's from that point on, I just had like such an anxiety surrounding childbirth that I never wanted to be in there alone without having a doula. Well, it's interesting you bring that up, anxiety, because I think that unfortunately in this country and given this crisis that there is anxiety and fear and I really think that we need to shift the culture because birthing should be an exciting empowering time for a woman and for her family and it should not be

anxiety producing I mean we've been birthing since forever. That's why we're all here. And I think part of the issue is that we have, you know, as technology has advanced, we have moved into more of, as Helena Grant says in the film, a technocratic patriarchal model of birthing, which can create some issues. So I liken it to farm to table that now we've got to come back a little bit and look at what the midwives did back in the past and use a little bit of what they've done and a little bit of the medical technocratic model, but not the way it birthing that child. She's birthing a mother. And so the process of labor, yes, it can hurt. It can be painful. But, you know, we shouldn't be afraid of that either. That is a process that we go through

so that we are powerful mothers. I agree with you 100%. It's just so difficult when you go in these hospitals that are majority white driven. It's a lot of white nurses, a lot of white doctors. They're not looking at, you know,

I remember one time for our third child, like they didn't even have any epidurals, like literally in the hospital. And they were just like, well, baby's right there. You can just push it out.

And I'm like, you know, like how are you supposed to react to something like that? Well, yeah, no. And I completely agree with you. And I think we can start thinking about the fact that we can be consumers here

if we can and find the right situation for you. If you want to birth in a hospital with a doctor, just with a doctor, you can do that. But if you want to bring a doula into that, that's great too. You could birth in a birthing center with a midwife and a doula, maybe without a nepadura, with that in mind that you're going into that process. People can birth at home with a midwife and a doula and a doctor on call if that's what makes them feel comfortable. And I really think it's about finding the right environment and the right support around a woman. It should be woman-centered.

And she needs to figure out what she needs around her. Because I agree, like you don't want to be in a hospital necessarily where there's a bunch of white people looking at you like you're crazy don't really believe you when you say you're having pain uh you're asking for things and they're you know discounting you that that is not the type of environment anyone wants to be giving birth in and sometimes it feels like and you point this out too it's like the midwife or the doula against the doctor And it's not like they're working together in tandem. Right. And they should be. I mean, every other industrialized nation

has midwives integrated into women's health care so that women interface with the midwife first. If there is a problem, because midwives, separate from doulas, midwives are clinicians that can do just about anything a doctor can except for cut you. The OB-GYNs are surgeons. They are surgeons. We need them. They're important.

But they're ready to do surgery. Midwives are there to hang out and take the time and allow your body to do what it's supposed to do. And if they're working together, that's the best situation so that if a complication occurs, you've got the doctor right there who is ready to come in. But if we're not working together and in tandem, then it becomes a fight between the power, who is more powerful, the doctor or the midwife. But we need to figure out how to work together. And even when it comes to C-sections, you've spoken about how that's been on the rise. I think like 70% more C-sections are happening.

Why are hospitals so quick to be like, you got to get a C-section? More money. Yeah, that's what it is, essentially. So we talk about in the film, the rates of C-sections, about 60%. 60% of C-sections are not needed. But like Charlemagne just said, it's about $15,000 you get for a vaginal birth. And it takes about 8 to 12 hours to go through that whole process. But a C-section, you make double the amount of money.

It takes about 45 minutes. It's scheduled. So a doctor, if you want to go catch a golf game or dinner, you can go do that. Exactly. And that's what I was just about to say. In the film, there's a part of it where all the nurses and doctors are in the forum, and they're talking about the Schedule C section, but they're not talking about people by their name. It's all numbered XY2578, Schedule C section for this time.

XY375, she's already had a c-section so she needs another like so it's a really monetized model where it's almost similar to the prison system where everybody kind of has this serial number and that's how people are looked at not necessarily as people but as commodities i thank god for information and i thank god for youam, because, like, I can still hear the fear in my wife's voice when she had to think about having a C-section for the second time. You know, after she had the one for our second child, they told her when she got pregnant again, she was going to have to have another C-section. It was already scheduled and everything. It's just a random conversation with Latham. And I just asked her and she was like, no, she doesn't have to have a C-section.

And so that's when she first got with Latham and latham walked through the process and she ended up having the um vaginal birth that's amazing for our third and fourth child that is really amazing she was able to do that and like you say she had the support of someone who was like hold on a second we can do this because without that support she's being pushed into having that that that c-section which happens to too many women. We got more with Tanya Lewis-Lee and Omari Maynard when we come back. And don't forget, next hour we have Ask Yee. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call Yee right now.

She'll help you out. You can get on those phone lines. But we got more with Tanya Lewis-Lee and Omari Maynard 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 still kicking with Tanya Lewis-Lee and Omari Maynard, 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 still kicking with Tanya Lewis-Lee and Omari Maynard. Now, another thing that you guys discussed is what happens after a woman gives birth, right? What's going on with going back to the doctor, getting checked up on? And, Omari, I know for you, you feel that that death could have been prevented. Yeah, most definitely. Just throughout the entire process, Shamani was healthy. She was strong. We tried to have a VBAC as well, vaginal birth after C-section. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. But when we left the hospital, I left with my son and my partner, you know, so I thought everything was fine. And the subsequent

days, you know, she was complaining about chest fine and the subsequent days you know she was complaining about chest pain she was complaining about having um shortness of breath she was complaining about not being able to walk you know and do these certain things and you know our family has been in this maternal space for a while so her mom was like this sounds like a pulmonary embolism we went to the doctor three times within that two-week period to go let them know like this is the problem these are the issues this is how she's feeling and every time we went because of the fact that shimani's scheduled visit for her checkup was six weeks out they didn't look at her wow they looked at the c-section that she had for the clips they talked about we went to have a

visit for um kari and what his needs are but every time we went out there we were advocating and advocating and advocating it was still this thing where it's because of the fact that it's not her schedule time she acted like it was normal exactly it's horrible because many of these deaths happen postpartum and the fact that she had an appointment six weeks out and they're like oh oh, no, we've got to wait for that six weeks is insane. You know, women should be checked on a few days after, a week after. They should be seen, especially after having major surgery like a C-section. And again, that's one of those things midwives do.

Six weeks out is way too long. And I think we need a cultural shift in that. Women should be seen much sooner before that. Now, Tanya, for you, this is, I know you've produced before, but this is a directorial debut for you. So what was your passion behind this? Yeah, you know, I had been working, raising awareness about the high rates of infant mortality in the United States. I started that back in 2007. You know, we have the same disparity as in maternal health. Black babies die at three to four times the rate

of white babies in this country before their first birthday. I found myself immersed in a world of women's health. You know, inevitably someone would tell me about someone who passed away from childbirth complications and wanted to tell a story about it. I wanted to raise awareness about it so that we can do something. I think if we don't have the conversation about what's happening, we can't fix it. And when Shawnee and Omari put out on social media an invitation for a celebration of Shamani's life, along with a conversation with the community about what was happening with black maternal health, we reached out to film and they agreed.

And that really began the film that you see as Aftershock. How was the process for you, Omari? Making the film? Mm-hmm. It was enlightening. So we did Aftershock, our Aftershock event on December 19th for Shemani's birthday. So this is two months after she passed.

So like during that two month timeframe was the darkest time of my life, honestly. It was filled with my deepest grief, sadness, insecurities, like all these things started coming up and me being able to process it was, it was difficult. But what I started to do was painting. So when Tanya and Paula came and introduced this film to us, I was like, nah, I'm not doing this.

This is, I'm not at my best. It's triggering again. Exactly. You know, I'm going through things, you know, going through things I've never been through before. But after having a conversation with Shawnee and, you know, her just kind of identifying what the opportunity was, what the possibilities could be,

and just the fact that, you know, regardless of where the film went, at least we would have something documented about our family so that our kids could watch. Emotionally and mentally, you know, how else did you process the trauma of this event other than the painting? Yeah, so thankfully I've got a dope community so as soon as she passed like i had grief counselors

beautiful when shimani when she was here we'd go to couples therapy you know so he was already yeah i was i was on it i was on it uh and i mean not by choice to be honest you know it was something that shimani was pushing. But, you know, I went once, I went twice. And then obviously after a while, I saw the value in it. But after she passed, I kept going to the same therapist. And then, like I said, I have family, friends coming in, you know, to help out around the house and provide pampers, diapers, you know, all the things that you would need on a day-to-day basis. But in order for me to process my grief, painting was one, but it turned into being this kind of mind-body-spirit training where I was

running every day. I was working out. I was painting. I was talking to my therapist. I was talking to family and friends, just different ways to deal with the pain, deal with the grief and process it in a way that was positive. And like, that's kind of what I really try to push now, especially to men going through anything, because we all go through our own pain. We all go through our own traumas. Right. But it's so important that we speak about it, that we communicate it and that we, you know, we do the things and this is an ongoing, never-ending process. I'm going to be going through this for the rest of my life. So it is really making sure that I'm being very intentional

about how I want to move my energy and use my energy. When I hear brothers like you tell your story, brothers like Charles Johnson tell their story, I'm just like, y'all way stronger than me. Because there's no way. I don't even know if i could even have that conversation because i don't even know when it would hit me that this actually happened you know i mean and then you see a child every day so every day you're thinking about

your queen it's i honestly don't feel that way i feel like you whatever you're given is what you're given right yeah and you know god doesn't make mistakes right we all have our own griefs right minds might be a little bit deeper than than others but when it all comes down to it if you're going to be there for your child you're going to be there for yourself you're going to be there for your family you got to do the work you know and it's really that simple that's why i respect it i respect it coming from you because i know you've allowed yourself to feel. Yeah, yeah. You're not numbing the pain.

Yeah, not at all, not at all. Always say that in your deepest grief, you gain your greatest growth. We have more with Tanya Lewis-Lee and Omari Maynard when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I think everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Tanya Lewis-Lee and Omari Maynard. What would you recommend to people if a woman, a family, are dealing with a complicated childbirth? They know something's wrong. The hospital is not being responsive. The doctors aren't doing what they're supposed to do.

What can you do? You have options. So in the film, there was a sister. Her name is Felicia. She went and had a birth at a birthing center. but she was already, I think, 34 weeks in. Yeah, 35 weeks. She was at the end, you know, and she was going to the doctors, you know, to hospitals during this 35 week time period. But she decided to shift because she felt like the need wasn't there.

So it's never too late. You know, so to your question, I think that it's so important that you understand and learn what's around you, right? So there are places that rate hospitals based off of the amount of C-sections that they provide to their patrons.

Oh, and as you say that, just shout out to Kimberly Seals-Aller, who's got the Earth app that is actually rated. Yeah, so, yeah. Sorry, Mari. Kimberly is super dope. Earth app, definitely.

For those who don't know what Earth app is, it's basically like a Yelp type of app. I met her. I met her at the Doola Expo. Yeah, definitely. Kimberly is super dope. Earth app. Definitely. For those who don't know what Earth app is, it's basically like a Yelp type of app. I met her. I met her at the Doola Expo. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, yeah. She's doing great work. And so it's that platform that allows people to rate the hospitals, you know, rate the doctors, rate the nurses.

And then that's what you should be doing. Accountability. Exactly. Now, is there anything you can do right after everything happened that doctors didn't do what they could? This was preventable. Right? So now what happens after that? Is this something that is malpractice? Like what can somebody do afterward?

Well, can I just say what I think Omari and Bruce are doing is amazing. And what they are doing is activating a community. Bruce is trying to bring a birthing center to the Bronx. He's already has the womb bus that is going around the Bronx. And so while unfortunately there isn't a lot that one can do for those that are gone, there are things that

people can do for those of us who are here. And, you know, I see that every day in what Savor Rose and Aria is doing. But and I think I think all of us have a role to play, quite frankly. I mean, we should be paying attention to what Bruce is doing. We should be supporting that. We need more birthing centers in New York City. We should be paying attention to what's going on in the midwifery profession. We need more midwives. We need more black midwives. We need more black OB-GYNs. We do. We need more black doctors. And we need to be having the conversation so that we can all figure out how do we make it better for all of us. Absolutely. So where do they catch Aftershock at? Aftershock is streaming right now on Hulu. What do y'all hope this project does? You know, I hope that the film Aftershock, as I said, I hope it's a conversation starter.

I hope people watch it and talk about it. I hope people debate it. You know, if they look at, well, Felicia had an amazing birth in a birthing center. You know, talk about how you feel about the idea of birthing in a birthing center versus a hospital. Talk about what does it mean to have a midwife learn more. We cover the history of midwifery in this country. I mean, the obstetric profession really is based on taking the economy of midwifery out of the hands of black women, put it in the hands of white doctors and hospitals, putting us all into their hands into hospitals

and demonizing black midwives. We need to learn about our history so that we understand how we got here. Does insurance cover midwives? Insurance does not cover midwives. So we need laws. We need laws. And the good news is that there are laws right now.

There's the mom-to-bus bills that are in Congress right now working their way through. As I said, many of these deaths are postpartum. So for women who are on Medicaid, we need Medicaid to extend for at least a year postpartum. Often women who are on Medicaid,

they get kicked off very soon after delivery. We need to keep them on. Midwives and doulas need to get paid. They need to be covered as well. So all of that. We need to figure out what's going on and vote because voting matters. Who's in office? We look at right now what's happening with the reversal of Roe v. Wade, which is going study that just said maternal death for black women may go up 33 percent because of this Dobbs decision. And everybody who voted for Donald Trump twice, they're the ones that got us here. But I do like the fact that the documentary does offer some optimism and some solutions. Absolutely.

To move forward. And I do feel like, and Omari, thank you so much for actually participating and agreeing to do the documentary and coming up here to spread the knowledge and the word about it and being so strong for your family.

Yeah, no, no problem. Thank you for having us. This is a moment. I really honestly feel like the film came out at a perfect time where people are listening. Our foundation,

the ARIA Foundation, you know, well, ARIA in itself stands for the Advancement of Reproductive Innovation through Artistry and Healing. So what we're doing is we're really trying to intentionally create spaces and places and talk about

and have these conversations where they weren't being had before. Make sure y'all go watch the Aftershock documentary on Hulu. Amari Maynard, Tanya Lewis-Lee, thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it.

It's The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. The Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, R. Kelly's former manager, Donnell Russell, was convicted of falsely threatening to shoot people. And that was at a private viewing of Surviving R. Kelly's former manager, Donnell Russell, was convicted of falsely threatening to shoot people. And that was at a private viewing of Surviving R. Kelly. They said that it was a short phone call that was made.

I actually was there that day when they emptied out the theater. They said the defendant was to the point and he was terrifying. Someone at the event had a gun and was going to shoot up the place. He wanted to keep these women quiet and he succeeded. His threat worked. So it was a screening of surviving r kelly and some of the women that were featured in that documentary were there it was going to be a screening and then a sit down conversation that i was hosting and then all of a sudden everybody get your coats and get out get out right now and so everyone had to evacuate

the theater the documentary had just started it was only a few minutes in. And so now he has been convicted and he will be sentenced on November 21st of this year, by the way. All right. Now, Kevin Hart was on the Pivot podcast with, you know, Channing Crowder, Ryan Clark and Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder talked a lot about different things, including the fact that he goes to

a nudist colony every year with his wife. Me and my wife go to a nudist colony like once a year we go to a nudist colony every year with his wife. Me and my wife go to a nudist colony. Like, once a year, we go to a nudist colony. What's going on? And we just kind of go around. You got to shave everything and show out. And especially when you shave, your looks bigger, because you gain inches from no hair.

Back up for a second. So y'all get down, is what you're saying? It's kind of the question. But we don't get down, but we just like to be around naked people together. You hear what you're saying out loud, brother? I hear what I'm saying out loud. It's just eating. You don't like to be around naked people?

Be honest with you, I have no desire to be around a bunch of people I don't know just sitting there naked. That's what I'm saying. But some people don't. But the women, you like, you better strip club. I'm willing to bet. As a matter of fact, I'm willing to bet a good number. It ain't a lot of put together people going through this movie.

Hilarious. Hilarious. Can you imagine doing that? Well, I guess it's like hedonism. I've been to hedonism a couple of times. Yeah, we had a, yeah. That used to be the, when I used to work at another radio station in New York, that used to be the destination trip for radio trips.

Really? Hedonism, Jamaica. Actually, Bill Bellamy was talking to me about when he went to Hedonism. They had a Sunday Fun Day. Yeah, I've been to that. You've been to Sunday Fun Day? I've been to Sunday Fun Day. And it's interesting when you go to places like Hedonism, because literally you can look

out your window and it's just people doing regular everyday activities just butt naked. Yeah, he said they was sliding down, you know, into the pool butt naked. It's just like being on a resort, but it's just everybody's naked. And you're like, damn. I don't have the confidence of an old white man, though, because I don't even like nobody seeing me when I get fresh out the shower.

So you was out there chilling and hanging. I think they had the crude side and the nude side, from what I heard. There's a side where you can wear clothes, and then there's another side where you have to be naked, right? Yeah, I wouldn't call it what I saw, glizzies. More like Vienna sausages, not the glizzy.

The big joint hanging out the bun. Nah, it wasn't that. More like gym action. You know when you see the old white man in the gym and all you see is hair? Tufts of hair down there. What gym you working at? Oh, shut up, man.

You mean in the shower? So y'all do look at each other. Yeah, it's crazy. I don't know. I got to ask with you. I got to be clear. All right, now Will.i.am was on Skills' Hip Hop Confessions podcast,

and he talked about some of his favorite rap artists, but he doesn't particularly care too much for Biggie and Tupac. I was such a tribe. I'm such a tribe called Quest De La Soul Head. Right.

That I don't like Tupac and Biggie. That kind of music doesn't speak to my spirit. Right. Got you. Got you. Got you. So when it's a conversation like that, I like Boogie Down Productions, KRS-One. If it's like Tupac or Biggie, I'm like KRS-One.

Right. Why those two? Why those two? I'm going to the source. I'm going prior. Right. If it's Tupac and Biggie, I'm like, I don't even, I don't hold them up like that. Right.

I respect everybody's opinion. Everybody has their right to an opinion, but why will I am? Why do we need to hear that information? Why? And furthermore, Tupac and Biggie in certain songs had those same type of records. Right. Like, no. And I guarantee you, Tribe Called Quest

and De La Soul listened to Biggie and Tupac. Keep your head up. I mean, that is a classic. What are we talking about? Sky's the limit. Like, what are we talking about here? Will.i.am. Come on, bro.

He just didn't like Tupac. There ain't nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that. But he did say, I will say, he did say Tupac is dope. He said, don't get me wrong. It's not like I don't think he's dope, but he's saying that's not the music that spoke to his spirit. I respect his opinion.

I'm just saying I don't respect his opinion. No, because you got to think. I'm willing to debate that. Tribe and Karis, one, a different type of rapper. The Daisy Age. I loved all of that, though. You know what I mean? So he just didn't.

And by the way, music is subjective, right? So different things speak to your spirit at different times. There was times Midnight Marauder spoke to my spirit. There was times Life After Death spoke to my spirit. You know what I'm saying? There was times By Any Mean spoke to my spirit. There was times that All Marauder spoke to my spirit. There was times Life After Death spoke to my spirit. You know what I'm saying? There was times by any means spoke to my spirit. There was times that All Eyes On Me spoke to my spirit. Like even me, I didn't get into KRS-One

until a lot later because KRS-One always ished on Queens. So we just didn't like KRS-One. Oh, you're from Queens? Yes, I'm from Queens. So, you know, I just never rocked with KRS-One at first. But Tribe Called Quest was in my neighborhood. I didn't like Pac early on simply because of

he used to go at Mobb Deep and Biggie. I was a Mobb Deep and Biggie fan. Same with me. You know what I mean? But then when I actually started listening to Pac and hearing all the

socially redeeming value that he had in his music, I respected Pac. Same thing with K.R.S. I just didn't understand. I don't, you know, suit the will I am. Alright, I'm Angela Yee

and that's your rumor report. Who you giving your donkey to, man? Four after the out. That's who you're giving it to? Four after the out. Talking heat news, I'm just askinge, and that's your rumor report. Who are you giving your donkey to, man? Four after the hour. That's who you're giving it to? Talking hedonism, I'm just asking. What is going on? What? You're still thinking about that, huh?

You want to do a radio trip? Where did we go? Didn't we go to Jamaica one time? It was not hedonism, bro. It was at Montego Bay. Montego Bay, okay. Four after the hour. Why was people naked?

Four after the hour. You can be topless. I don't think people are naked. Glimp Thompson. Glimp Thompson. Glimp Thompson. Oh, man. A Republican lawmaker from Pennsylvania needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a whirl with him.

Remember when we did the first radio tour? Nope. I don't remember nothing. Nope. Nope. I don't remember nothing. No, I do not. That never happened.

Oh, y'all wanted to share a room. Remember they tried to do pee with roommates? I don't remember that. I think it was voluntary for them. Yeah, I don't remember that. I think it was voluntary for them. Yeah, I don't remember that. All right, well, Donkey of the Day is up next. It's the Breakfast Logo. Good morning.

We want to be back. Charlemagne, say the gang. Donkey under the shade. Charlemagne. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the Donkey of the Day.

So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man, hit it with the heat. Yeah, it's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Well, donkey of the day for Wednesday, July 27th goes to a Republican Pennsylvania lawmaker by the name of Glenn Thompson. Now, Glenn Thompson joined the majority of his GOP colleagues in voting against a House bill that will codify federal protections for same-sex marriage. It's called the Respect for Marriage Act. Oh yeah, you know what the Supreme Court just did with abortion

rights. That's not stopping that abortion rights. Y'all know that, right? You have to know that, right? Okay, well, Glenn Thompson was one of the majority of GOP colleagues who voted against the bill that would codify federal protections for same-sex marriage. And that would usually be par for the same-sex marriage uh and that would usually be par for the course in regards to the gop but glenn thompson's vote against this might come as

a surprise to some folks simply because he has a gay son all right not just the gay son but glenn thompson actually attended his gay son's wedding just three days after voting against the bill to protect same-sex marriage you can't make this kind of hypocrisy up let's go to n days after voting against the bill to protect same-sex marriage. You can't make this kind of hypocrisy up. Let's go to NBC News for the report, please. One of the Republican congressmen who voted against protecting same-sex marriage attended his gay son's wedding three days later. The Respect for Marriage Act passed the House last Tuesday, but 157 Republicans voted no on that bipartisan bill. Pennsylvania Congressman Glenn Thompson was one of them. He voted no. He said, no, not going to defend gay marriage.

His press secretary argued it was nothing more than an election year messaging stunt. But after his gay son's wedding in a statement, his spokeswoman said Thompson and his wife were thrilled to attend and celebrate their son's marriage on Friday night as he began this new chapter in his life. Adding they are very happy to welcome their new son-in-law into the family. The GOP is so gangster. I'm so impressed, not by the hypocrisy, but by the caucasity, the unmitigated gall. Listen, I'm going to always be a fan of unity and group operation and there's not too many entities who move to the beat of the Same drum like the GOP they not even in power in Washington

But yet they have all the power because everybody on the right for the most part is on the same page Oh the things Democrats could get done if they could simply get people in their own party to vote as one block All right This man Glenn Thompson has a gay son and just three days after voting to not protect same-sex marriage he just pulled up to his gay son's wedding like it was nothing all right now if you are a father who doesn't approve of your son's lifestyle and you are a lawmaker uh this is one way to protest but clearly he wasn't protesting his son's wedding because he went not only did go, but he said he was thrilled to attend the nuptials.

And he was very happy to welcome a new son-in-law into the family. Hey, Glenn Thompson out here, like, business never personal. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out out of like, this is mine, I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh, my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!

We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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

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

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. 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 woman.

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. This right here just lets you know hypocrisy is the audacity to preach integrity from a den of corruption. These people will vote against protecting the rights of Americans, all the while the same community of people they are oppressing be their brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers. They don't care because they choose party over everything. All we want is for people to practice what they preach or change their speech. How you showed up for your son and his wedding.

We want you to have that same energy for everyone, but we want you to have that same energy through legislation. Do it through laws, okay? Let me tell you something, man. This is why I have no faith in politics because one party clearly knows what their agenda is and when they are willing to vote against their family their own flesh and blood the rest of us don't stand a chance okay if they are willing to vote against laws that strip away rights from their own family my god the rest of us are doomed because the other side isn't willing to do that.

OK, I used to believe hypocrites got offended by the truth. I don't believe that anymore because you can tell the truth about Glenn Thompson being a hypocrite and he wouldn't care because it's not like his vote was a secret. It's not like him attending his son's same sex marriage was a secret. They even had their spokesperson put out a statement. They don't care what you say about them because the GOP has a plan and they are sticking to it. Please give Republican lawmaker Glenn Thompson the biggest hee-haw, even though he don't care. Let Chelsea Handler get some of this, even though Glenn Thompson don't care. Hee-haw, hee-haw. That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise.

Let Kathy Griffin get some Please give this giant jar of mayo The biggest hee haw That's it? Yeah I think that's it I mean unless you just want to play something to make me feel better Crackle Crackle

Okay Feel any better better a little bit okay okay there you go all right i wonder how his son feels about that okay that is a great question i would like to know how his son feels about that too i really would like you're at my wedding and then you did that i wouldn't want you at my wedding if i was uh but he did it after the wedding right he voted three daysmm. Three days before. Oh, three days before. And then three days later was the wedding. Yeah, I'd be like, why are you here?

Mm-hmm. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. What did you say? He came for the glizzies. Yeah. Up next, ask he 800- Good glizzies at the reception. 585-1051.

If you got relationship questions, any type of questions- The big joints that hang out the bun. Or you want to know more about where you can find your favorite glizzy, call Ye right now. She'll help you out. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. What's up? It is ASCII. What's up, Dominic? Hey, Ye. How you doing? Good.

How are you? I'm doing good. So what's your question this morning? Yes. So I was having a problem with a co-worker and I just want to know if either like I'm overreacting, like I shouldn't say nothing or if I should just let it slide, you know, or if I do need to say something, I mean. Well, tell me what's the problem. Okay. So here's what happened like maybe like a few weeks back um my co-workers are talking in a

group and you know i'm like the lone wolf i come through when i feel like it so i just came and joined in the conversation and one of the older women she's like 50 60 maybe but But when the older woman came in, she was like, hey, little girl. Hey, little girl. And I was like, don't little girl me. And she was like, well, you know, I was just playing. I didn't mean to. I was like, no, it's okay, but just don't little girl me. That's like rude, you know?

So, you know, later on that day, she's like comes in and gets me in private. And she's like, I didn't really mean to like talk to you like that. I was like, I mean, that's fine and everything. You know, just I don't like to be disrespected. But in the middle of me talking, she's cutting me off. She's like saying like, oh, I'm just letting you know that I'm sorry or that I'm just sorry about the situation or it's not that big of a deal. I'm just sorry.

I'm like, how are you sorry if you're cutting me off? A couple of things here. She did apologize, right? Right. But you feel like she didn't let you speak. Right. Like, let me say my piece because you're getting to say your piece. OK, so did you ever get a chance to say your piece. Okay, so did you ever get a chance to say your piece? No, you know, I kind of just let it,

I just kind of let it go because like you said, she did say sorry, so it's not really something I dwell on and I don't disrespect my elders or anything like that. Like, you know. Okay, to me this doesn't,

this may be how she talks. This doesn't have to be something I feel like that, you know, she meant to do anything wrong to you. And you're right. Sometimes people are set in their ways and you do want to be respectful. And it feels like the fact that she pulled you to the side to apologize, even though you didn't like her apology, she did make that attempt. And so if I were you, because sometimes when things like this happen and you let it fester, it kind of builds up. And then you're going to continue to have like a little bit of a chip on your shoulder. You should actually tell her, be like, listen,

I do want to say I appreciate you taking the time to apologize. You know, one thing is I didn't get a chance to really speak and say what it is that I had to say. And I just wanted to say X, Y, Z. And I would love for us to be able to move forward and not have any more misunderstandings in the future. But I do thank you for making that effort to reach out. Well, I got to tell you why I'm bringing it up today. Okay. Because, you know, that was a few weeks ago, and now it seems like she's the one walking around with a problem with me. Like, I'm not addressing it. I'm not saying anything about it, but now it seems like there's that, like, tension in the room or whatever, and I

don't know if I should address it based on. Yeah, you should. Sometimes these things are just a disconnect. I think you should definitely address it. Just say, look, I feel like there's a little bit of tension. So I just would love for us because I appreciate how you came to me first to apologize for what you did. And I want to make sure that we're able to move forward without any issues and definitely address it, though, because it doesn't feel like something that's not fixable.

Right. And things get blown out of proportion when people don't communicate. It can start here and then snowball and continue, and that feels like it's already starting. So you need to stop it now and stop it dead in the tracks. It wasn't anything that was like, I can never mess with this person again. I need to leave this job and quit. But before it gets to that point,

just understand your misunderstanding. Who knows, maybe y'all will be way tighter than ever after that. Right, that part. Mm-hmm, so yes. Thank you, Yee. No problem, take care. All right, bye-bye.

All right, we got more with Yee when we come back. If you got questions, call up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're in the middle of ask yee hello who's this good morning my name is sean what up sean what's your question today so my question is uh me and my fiance we've been together for a while and her mom has just

seemed very dictative over her life And we bump heads a lot And I was just trying to see What's a way for us Not to bump heads and get along Just me trying to get married Well what does your Fiance have to say about that? Well she

Had to say that her mom is her mom She loves her mom Her mom is very oriented. And the fact that she is elderly or old, and her mom is like 50. Mm-hmm. But she just pretty much just say that her mom is just there. They got a good bond. Okay.

So you feel this way, but your fiance doesn't feel this way. Right. So really you're bumping heads with both her and her mom. Well, she's, yeah, whenever me and her mom bump heads,

the mom, her mom couldn't get at her, so then makes me a her bump head. So yeah. So give me an example of like what makes her mom controlling. So like, we might be be have a dinner date set up and going out to dinner and have other plans after that. But her mom will call like, hey, I need you.

I just need some help real quick or whatever. And she'd be like, well, we out doing something that her mom would be cussing around, getting mad to where we have to stop what we're doing for her to go over there. Alright so this sounds like something that your fiance really needs to handle with her mom and it's not really anything that you should confront the mother about it feels like she needs to be the person that takes

charge of this and figure out why is it that her mom makes her feel guilty and why she feels like she can't prioritize you at certain times if it's not an emergency, right? Right. So I feel like this is an issue that you need to talk to her about, about how she handles her relationship with her mother, because I don't think that her mom will respect it coming from you. It has to come from her own daughter and her daughter has to be willing to do that. So this is all about setting boundaries, right? So what that means is for your

fiance, you need to let her know, look, if it's not an emergency or if we're out and your mom is calling, you know, let her know you're in the middle of something. Tell her she can text you or put your phone on. Do not disturb if you guys are having a planned night out because that's not fair to you. And so she needs to understand there has to be some boundaries set in their relationship or else it's going to affect your relationship. Now, clearly, if there's an emergency of something that she has to handle, yes, by all means, you're supportive of that. But it's not going to be you against her mom. It should never be that. Right. You know, that's a that's a hard thing to make somebody have to make that decision in that choice. And you really want the mom to be more, you know, accepting and

supportive of your relationship than combative when it comes to that, right? Because that doesn't feel good either. Right. So, okay. And what about this? Because I'm trying to get her to explore her life. I mean, my fiance is 30, so she's been here in the city all her life and I'm trying to get her to explore the city and move out of the city. It's just like something against her with her mom to where her mom won't let her move out. Move out the city. Her mom doesn't want her to

break that cord, but does she want to move? She say no. She ain't going to move because of her mom. Her mom would be upset and mad at her if she was to leave. Well, how far are y'all trying to move? Is it someplace that she could drive to where it's easily accessible? No, it would be a flight.

You know, that's hard to have somebody uproot their whole life. And if you guys are getting married and can't even agree on where you want to live, that's an issue. And I don't know, are you moving just for the sake of moving her away from her mom? Or is there something else going on? No, just for the sake of, you know, we still young, no kids. We got great careers, and it's a whole life out there to explore. Well, why not just go on vacations? Why do you have to move right away?

I mean, just because, you know how you be in the same city, like we in North Carolina, and we be here all our life. And even if we go visit and doing all this other stuff, I mean, I just feel like there's a whole lot more out there. You know, I mean, we don't do everything here. Right. Well, look, I'll say this. Take your time. Deal with getting through this period of time with getting married married with deciding, look, if y'all find

other great opportunities elsewhere, that might be a reason to move. But if somebody doesn't want to, you can't force somebody to want to move. It has to be something that's going to make her feel like this is something I'm excited and want to do. You know, it's baby steps. Yeah, baby steps, yeah, progress.

Okay. Alright. Alright, thank you. Alright, no problem. Good luck on getting married. Sure enough. Alright, take care. Alright. Now, if you got a question for Yee, 800-585-1051. Now, Yee, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and Deezus,

Now, according to reports, Puck News reported that Desus and Mero's creative partnership ended over management disputes. And five sources close to the situation said that Showtime asked their manager,

Victor Lopez to no longer attend tapings or appear in meetings. Jesus allegedly took Showtime side as a network accused Lopez of a whole behavior and Merrill reportedly stood by Lopez. So those are just some of what sources are saying. All right. Kendrick Lamar sat down with Jazzy's world TV. We love her. And he talked about a viral clip where a security guard was crying while watching him perform Love.

Now, that security, Devin Sanford, was at the Toyota Center in Houston. And it went viral when someone posted a TikTok video of him crying while Kendrick performed. He has since released a statement saying, that's me in the post, y'all. This song means everything to me. And I was feeling everybody around me emotions. Definitely love getting paid to do this. Well, here is what Kendrick had to say. So, I've seen so many people become very emotional after hearing your music and seeing your performances.

So, in what ways do you feel you've been able to positively impact people with your music? Yeah, it's really just about the feeling of it. You know, at the end of the day, past all the politics, past all the numbers, it's what music make you feel, you know, how it make you feel. So to see that, and shout out to him, by the way, because I see him, bro, I was like, man, I wonder what he's going through, you know, but at the end of the day, that's how you want everybody

to perceive your music and, you know, make them feel good, make them feel like a moment they're attached to, they can live forever. Alright, that's a beautiful thing, music that makes you feel something, right? Alright, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee.

We got the brother Bun B. How we doing? They false advertised me, Bun. They called me yesterday and said, yo, Bun is coming by the show. He wants to bring Trill Burgers. We were all excited. Charlamagne was excited. I was not excited. I was upset. I actually was excited. That's not how I want my first Trill Burger. Bun, no.

I be in Bun DMs. I be texting Bun. How long have I been talking to you about Trill Burgers for two months? Y'all heard me on the air talking about it. I want a Trill Burger. And I was like, my main thing was, do y'all have vegan burgers? And you said, yes, you do. Yes, we do. But I don't have either with me right now.

Because I thought the chef was going to come up with me last night. But he couldn't. He had to go home and get everything ready because we got a big day Friday. Now, what's going on Friday for people that don't know, bud? All right. So on Tuesday in Houston, good morning. Well, all of this week, Good Morning America is going around the country looking for the best burger in America. So they went to four different cities.

Houston was one of them. I competed against a brand called Burger Chon, a really good competition. But we won. And so Trill Burgers is one of four burgers that are going to compete for the best burger in America and go on in America in Times Square. Who's the judge? That I don't know. Okay. So is there a panel?

Because I can't talk. They won't tell us. So I can't like hop in the DM and shoot him a cash app. Shoot a cash app. But you don't need it because everybody who's had the Trill Burger loves it. They go crazy for it. It looks amazing. It just looks like a who's had the chill burger loves it. They go crazy for it. It looks amazing. It just looks like a tasty-ass, juicy-ass burger, man.

We put a lot into it. When I was approached by Andy Wynn and Nick Skirfield about partnering with them on this burger, I had been looking for an entry point into the food industry for a while. And they approached me with a concept that was very easy to consistently produce, very easy to scale up and replicate. And when I tried the burger, I was like, yo, this is like a real good burger. Can it get better? And they were like, yeah, give us a couple of days. We think we can improve on it.

When I came back and tried it the second time, I was like, I'm ready to go. And we sat around for a while trying to think of like, you know, buns, buns, buns, burgers. I'm like, look, we got a brand that with 30 years of blood, sweat, and tears equity, let's just call it Trill Burgers. Everybody will know what it is. As long as they see my face associated with the name, they'll know it's official. And we put that product out there about a little over a year ago

at the Tastemaker Awards in Houston, which is the biggest culinary awards for restaurants and chefs in the city. And we had the biggest line all night. Wow. And the momentum just built up from there. We've been traveling around the country doing pop-ups and catering events and festivals really has been like the big one for us because a festival allows me to be in one place for three days.

The Cultural Cue Point works because it's a hip-hop festival right my brand works in that space so i'll get people to show up just on gp just to show love be like you know well let's just see if the burger is good and they tried to realize the burger is great and now they're in one place for three days so after they try it on friday and they like it they come back saturday they bring their friends People see the line getting longer every day. So it exponentially increases every day through festivals. And that's been a good business model. Yeah, my fat ass definitely tried to get a Trill Burger at the Black Effect Podcast Festival.

But that was more for my own personal reasons than everybody else. Yeah, no, I seen James Harden try it the other day. And you said before you pulled your camera out the tape, the burger was gone. Yeah, no, it's crazy. As soon as I pulled it, like, he was eating the burger. I was like, hold on, let me get my phone. Let me get some footage of this. And by the time I got the phone out, the man had one bite left.

And by the time I started recording him, he was done. And it's crazy because my niece said, Uncle Bun, we're going to have to start asking for dietary restrictions. And I took my nieces and my granddaughter to Rolling Loud. And all they wanted to do was meet Baby, little Baby. Right. And we got to little Baby, and Baby wanted a burger, but he doesn't like cheese on his burger.

Oh, right. So they got a special custom. So we're going to create like a special plain Jane. The plain Jane is going to be like the next Trill Burger. What's your favorite? What's your favorite things on the Trill Burger? So our menu is very simple. That's the way that we're able to keep it consistent.

But for you, if you could customize it, what would you do? Oh, no. For me, I mean, we got my burgers, the Trill OG Burger. You know what I'm saying? That's the way that we're able to keep it consistent. But for you, if you could customize it, what would you do? Oh, no, for me, I mean, we got, my burger's the Trill OG burger. You know what I'm saying? That's my namesake. Two slices of American cheese, two one-fourth pound patties, two pickles, our patented Trill sauce,

and a March potato roll. And it's, it's, it's Mad Mama drooling over here. And no, it's an amazing burger. Like, I tell people that, and people think I'm over-talking. As people should. Like, they should think that their brand is the shit. But when you try my burger, you realize, yo,

this burger really is the best burger in the world. What's in that trill sauce? I mean, it's a balance of ketchup and mayo, but there's also a third ingredient that I don't say. Okay. I knew it was good. I'll get you close, but I can't take you all away. I knew it was good when I saw Lil Duval eat but I'll get you close, but I can't take you all the way. I knew it was good when I saw Lil Duval eat it.

I texted Duval, I said, man, is the Trill Burger really that good? He said, nah, man, that's good. Duval don't eat. That's what people don't realize. I got Crunchy Black to eat a burger. Wow. And Crunchy Black don't eat food. Wow. You know what I'm saying? And he ate the whole burger. He was like, I ain't stopping until I eat this whole burger.

And the first thing Paul would say, hey man, that man don't eat food, so it's gotta be good. Damn. We're getting a really good reaction from people, man. We got a really good product. We believe in it. We got the Trillo G Burger.

We have the Onion Burger, which is basically a Trillo G with smothered caramelized onions on top. And then we got the Vegan Burger because I don't want to leave people out of this process. I know a lot of people in communities of color are embracing a healthier lifestyle, so we want to be a part of that. We want to make sure that everybody

that wants to get a Trill Burger has access to a Trill Burger and has one that they would prefer. Turkey burgers, chicken burgers? That's coming. I keep getting a lot of calls about turkey burgers, you know what I'm saying? Turkey patties, you source different,

and you have to flavor different. Yeah. I feel like it needs a lot more flavor. Yeah, but my thing is I really want to at some point try, I don't know if anybody's ever had ground lamb, but ground lamb actually holds seasoning really, really well. I love lamb. I never had ground lamb.

Some friends of mine in Houston, the E.T. boys, they created the lamb burger a couple years ago, and I was like, I didn't even really like lamb until they did that. And then I tried another lamb burger and I realized how it holds the seasoning. So we want to have a menu that gives everybody the opportunity to come in and try a Trill Burger. So, yeah,

turkey burgers and chicken burgers are something that we have to consider. When's that franchise opening? I know the Trill Burger franchise coming. Yeah, no, my thing is, you know, in order to do this properly for the long run i have to get that one door done right you know give it about a year figure out my my system in terms of sourcing ingredients you know staffing is going to be a problem as this brand explodes so i'm just trying to scale how we approach this because i get calls every day you You know what I'm saying? Every time you see somebody of status and

of means try a Trill Burger, they go, I got bread, I got money, I want in. Because they know this is going to work. They see me as a salesman out here working this brand myself. So they know that this thing is going to work. And it would be cool to just take all this cash and infuse the company, but that would just dilute my shares of the

company. But also, man, I just want to take my time with this because I really think I have the best burger in the world. And I just want to take the time to bring it out to people carefully. I agree with that. Open your flagship. Make sure that everything, when you do franchise, there has to be some type of quality control. Absolutely. Because it still represents the brand no matter what.

And we want to hire from within. So we want to bring people on this team that, you know, who started in our kitchen and moved to the front of the house and eventually become, you know, managers and district managers, regional managers, trainers, and eventually franchise owners. You know, I would love to build this company from the bottom and make a whole new batch of Rich Pauls out here in the food industry. Absolutely.

Bun B, tomorrow he's going to be on Good Morning America. Yeah, it wasn't like an official conversation. Bun just pulled up real quick to tell us what's happening Friday. I appreciate it, man. Y'all have always made the door open to me. Literally, I walked in, the door was open. But y'all have been so gracious with y'all

platform for people, man. Y'all make yourselves available and give people a place to speak their truth and talk to the world now i've always respected and appreciated it man and i want to say thank you to bun you know for the car shows bun gave me his car for houston and he gave me his cars for atlanta and i just want to say thank you and bun pulled up to all the car shows signed pictures took pictures with people and walked around the car shows talked to people greeted people so that means a lot to me and definitely the people and the kids out there, man.

So thank you. Nah, man. I'm a people person, man. I think that's my best trait is the fact that I'm a personable and approachable. Approachable, excuse me. Absolutely. Well, it's Bun B. Yeah.

It's the Breakfast Club. We got the positive note when we come back. Support them on Friday. If you're in Times Square, go out and support them or watch it on television and make sure if you're out and about, you get that Trill Burger. Now, Charlamagne, what you heading out to do?
