Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. All right. Well, what's up? It's Angela Yee. You just heard Charlamagne. Envy is still on vacation. I don't know what he's doing, but he's back in tomorrow. I am in Washington, D.C.

I actually was out here for the National Association of Broadcasters. They have this event that they do every year where they celebrate the Service to America Awards. And this is for different people in different markets who are doing positive things to help people and help community. So it was really inspiring. The award that I gave out was to a station, and this was really something that was

emotional because you see the help and the things that happen that these broadcasters on television and on radio do in the community. I think that's one of the most important things. This is for adopting children. It was a great

event. By the way, I know Charlamagne is trying to connect right now and he should be on in the next break once he can hear us. But Patti LaBelle was there and she was getting her award. And so she had some things that she wanted me to let Charlamagne know. So as soon as he connects, we will publicly let him know what Patti had to say about him. But yes, today is, oh, today's Wednesday, right? All right, today is hump day, Wednesday. You know, sometimes you're running around and you forget what day it is.

But yes, we are going to get this show started with front page news. I've been consciously trying to find some good things. But I think one of the most important things that we'll talk about right now is gun control. Now, some states have passed some gun control laws, but not everybody has done it. And we'll tell you what these new regulations are when it comes to gun control. All right. So coming up, we got front page news and we'll talk about the purchase age for semi-automatic rifles

on The Breakfast Club. Yep. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off today.

Good morning. What's happening? We got the technical difficulties out the way. Now it's time to start the damn show. Even though Angela Yee already started the show.

It's time for front page news, right Yee? Yes, indeed. And I also want to mention that Amanda Seals will be joining us this morning. The big Seals will be here. Now, seven states have raised the purchase age for semi-automatic rifles. And advocates want Congress to force all the states to do this so it'll be on a federal level. So increasing the minimum age to 21 nationwide.

That could have a major impact on firearm purchases. But once again, that proposal does have a long odds of being included in any bipartisan deal. Now, did you know? So as far as the seven states, California, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Vermont, Washington and New York, they have enacted laws that raise the buying age to 21 for a class of firearms that include shotguns, rifles and semi-automatic rifles. And that a lot of that was in response to mass shootings in which young men use the weapons. But did you know that if you could buy a handgun, you'd be 21 on a federal level? But for these type of firearms, you only have to be 18. That makes zero sense. I didn't know that.

It makes a lot of sense. It doesn't make a lot of sense why that is like that because they do say that people age 18 to 24 have disproportionately higher rates of mental illness and propensity to commit violent acts. But they say it's an outdated assumption. They say that most gun violence was perpetrated by people using

handguns and that rifles were used only for hunting. That's why it's been outdated assumption. They say that most gun violence was perpetrated by people using handguns and that rifles were used only for hunting. So that's why it's been like that. I mean, it probably is true on a larger scale. Like, yes, the majority of people probably do use those weapons for rifles because, you know, the mass shootings

I guess don't happen as much as people hunt, but that's still silly logic to me. Yes, so you know, something has to be done. And Matthew McConaughey actually met with Joe Biden. He was in the White House briefing room and he spoke. He's from Uvalde, Texas. And so he was there after a terrible tragedy that happened there. And here's what he had to say as he spoke at the White House.

We're asking you and I'm asking you, will you please ask yourselves, can both sides rise above? Can both sides see beyond the political problem at hand and admit that we have a life preservation problem on our hands? We've got a chance right now to reach for and to grasp a higher ground above our political affiliations. A chance to make a choice that does more than protect your party, a chance to make a choice that protects our country now and for the next generation. We've got to take a sober, humble and honest look in the mirror and rebrand ourselves based on what we truly value and honor our immortal obligations instead of our party affiliations.

Enough with the counterpunching. I'm glad you said that he was from U of All Day, Texas, because I was wondering what the correlation was, because when I saw that yesterday, I was like, who cares what Matthew McConaughey got to say at a time like this? But I guess it makes sense since America is obsessed with celebrities, so whoever can get

through to people, I guess. Yeah, and he's from there, and he had some good points. He talked about responsible gun ownership, right? And raising the minimum age to purchase an AR-15 rifle. At least you can raise that minimum age to 21. He said we need a waiting period for those rifles. We need red flag laws and consequences

for those who abuse them. And it's reasonable. It's not saying that you don't have the right to bear arms, but you want to do that responsibly as responsibly as possible. Yeah, I just I feel like they should just ban automatic assault rifles, period, like a straight ban. Like I'm the average person. Yeah. For the average civilian. Like I'm pro gun, but I'm also pro gun control. And it sounds cliche, but it's true. Like no civilian should own an AR-15 or any other automatic assault rifle.

That's why those police officers pulled up to that school. and that's why everybody's saying they were cowards. And, yes, it was very cowardly what they did, but they just weren't equipped to go in there with a person who had an AR-15. They didn't have the firepower to deal with that guy. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Now coming up next, we got Get It Off Your Chest, right? I know there's things that y'all want to get off your chest this morning.

So you can call us up 800-585-1051. It is The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. So you better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Who's this?

This is AJ from Charleston, South Carolina. 843. AJ, what's happening, King? I'm on my way to work. I just want to get off my chest about these gas prices. They going up by the day. Oh, yeah. I had to fill up yesterday, bro.

Ridiculous. I don't even look at the tank no more. I don't even look at how much it went up to. I just fill it up and keep it moving. I don't even want to look tank no more. I don't even look at how much it went up to. I just fill it up and keep it moving. I don't even want to look at it. Yes, sir. I know a lot of people that can't even make it work. You know, these prices, people can't afford them.

Especially when they're getting paid. And you know what else is crazy? If you don't have a car, if you got an Uber sometimes or Lyft, that has gotten way more expensive, too, because of gas prices. Yeah. I notice that a lot, especially going over the bridges. Can you tell your job that? Can you say, look, man, gas too high.

I can't afford to come to work today. Man, I don't know. They probably tried telling somebody to come pick me up. You know what else is crazy? The USDA is predicting that egg prices are going to be $12 a dozen by this fall. $12 a dozen. That's a dollar a damn egg. So your egg sandwiches and everything else, all them Chick-fil-A chicken biscuits with egg,

all of that's going up. Oh, man. Have a good day, brother. We're going to have to figure something out. You're going to have to. It's probably cheaper to buy a chicken and hatch your own eggs. Good morning, who's this? It's JT.

JT, what's up? I'm from Raleigh, Indiana, man. Please, King, what's the word? Man, you be taking too long on your little intro on Donkey of the Day. Just get to the story. I done got rolled up three times at work sitting in the car waiting to hear it.

I got to set the story up, King. What, sitting in the car, waiting to hear it. I gotta set the story up, King. What you want me to do? Get right to it. I get that, but you need to just get to it and then talk about it. I gotta give you a little foreplay, baby. I get that, man, but I'm on the last leg of my job, man.

I got to hear Donkey of the Day. You know what you should do? Alright, so you should get some headphones, right? And make sure you have the iRadio app. And then go into your job with the headphones on and listen to it while you're inside your job. We can't do that. No headphones, no phones, no nothing.

That's why I got to get it in in the morning. Also, though, if I can get right to it and then still talk about it, it's still going to be the same length pause. I get that, but I like to hear the bang. I don't want the intro. I want to hear the donkey of the day. I want to hear it all.

You want me just to hear it? How about this? What about if you get to work a little earlier, go inside so they know you're there, and then go back outside? You know what? I'm at work right now sitting in front just trying to call to get through, get it off your chest. I'm probably going to get wrote up today.

Well, we appreciate your commitment to The Breakfast Club. Damn, I wish we had some prizes to send you. Matter of fact, you like to read? Yeah. Hey, I've been wanting one of your books. I ain't read a book since high school, bro. But I will read one of your books. I'm going to send you a copy. I'm going to send you a pack, bro. But I will read one of your books. I'm going to send you a copy of,

I'm going to send you a pack, man. I'm going to send you a copy of my first book, Black Privilege, and my second book, Shook One. And I'll send you

a copy of Anita Kopach's Shallow Waters. That's a great read. Oh, my God. Hey, I don't care if they write me up today. I got you. We're going to put you

on hold and get your info, King. Right on. How many times can you get written up and then what happens? That's a good question. You said you get written up and then what happens? That's a good question. You said you get written up like four times already. Damn, you should be fired.

Get it off your chest. 1-800-585-1051 if you want to tell us why you're blessed. If you just want to vent. If you just want to give us some good news, we're here for you, man. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. I'm darling. I'm darling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm darling. man it's the breakfast club the breakfast club this is your time to get it off your chest whether you're mad or blessed 800-585-1051 we want to hear from you on the breakfast club good morning to you sir what's happening none i wanted to say that um first of all i'm first time caller and i agree with uh what you were saying charlemagne that you know we should have a ban

on fully automatic weapons and that no no normal citizen needs that but what i wanted to clarify is that um not all ar-15s are automatic rifles like i own an ar-15 but it's a semi it's a it's a semi automatic weapon which means you pull the trigger one time, it fires one bullet. You can't hold the trigger down and it just unloads the whole thing. That's illegal to have, especially in the state of Florida where I'm from. If you have that, you go to jail for a very, very long time, unless you have, you pay for stamps that cost thousands of dollars. And most people don't have that. So I'm also a hundred percent in agreement that if you have to have a license to own a car, but drive a car, then you should have a license to own a weapon. And you should be able to prove that you're, you know, confident and able to have one.

Thank you for that information. I didn't know that. I just assumed that all AR-15s and stuff were like machine guns. They just could, you know, shoot. Every time I see it on the news, right. Right. A lot of people take that, but that's just not. My wife even thought that when I bought my gun. But I showed her, I actually let her fire the gun.

And it's a single. You can only buy an automatic rifle if you have to have a whole lot of money invested in stamps and taxes and things like that. That costs way too much money for the average person to own. And on top of that, you have to be a gun dealer and things like that. You can't just buy an automatic rifle. And if you do, it's illegal for sure that you bought it. So what do you use your AR-15 for, hunting? No, I use the sport shoot with it for the most part.

And, I mean, a.223 round is a very small round. It's not a big round at all. It's not really great for hunting. Like, if you wanted to hunt, you wanted to do something like a.308 or something that's physically bigger in order to actually stop. A.223 is really a.22 shell. The actual round itself is the same size as a.22. The difference is the cartridge behind it is bigger,

so you get more power, it shoots longer, but it's not a huge round, which is why we were having issues in wars. The actual round is not designed to kill. It's designed to maim so you take more people out in a fight that's what the military designed the whole thing for so it's not really a hunting rifle so a lot of people

a lot of people think it's a hunting rifle it's not it's just not it's really if you're going to sports shoot or if you like the actual platform or whatever that's cool but it's really not if you wanted to do a whole lot of damage, AR-15 is just what a lot of people think because it's automatic. If they have an automatic rifle of

some sort, they assume it's an AR-15 and that's just not how it is. What do you think should happen when it comes to gun control? I'm just curious since you're a person that has a lot of experience. We absolutely need to do common sense gun laws. I am 100% on top of that. We should get rid of the gun show loophole, because in Florida, you can actually go to a gun show.

You don't have to have a license or anything. You can literally just buy a gun from somebody and you don't have to do any paperwork through the state. I agree. If you if you buy or sell a gun, you should be able to have background checks. You should have to go through some agency that says, OK, he's qualified or this person is qualified to own a gun. And I also think that, you know, every couple of years you should have to show proficiency. You should have to go in and shoot your gun and show that you know how to handle a gun. And if for some reason, if you own a gun and a child gets a hold of it, like if it's in your home and a child gets older than if somebody gets hurt, I think you should pay the price for it. So that makes me more. That all makes sense.

Yeah. But good common sense gun laws. Thank you for calling brother. You might be the sanest man in Florida. Thanks a lot, man. Peace. Hey, I did not know that I'm a handgun guy. So I don't know nothing about no automatic weapons.

I just know no civilian needs to have a damn machine gun that's all I know we got a rumor report coming up here yes and you know what let's start off talking about Nick Cannon I mean he did lip service he confirmed that he does have some children on the way some more he talked about a lot of

different things so we'll discuss alright we'll talk about it when we come back it's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. 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 are 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 trade 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?

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. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everyone.

Well, let's start with the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Festival lineup revealed. It's funny because I didn't realize people didn't know this and it wasn't public yet. We've been doing reads for it.

But some of the performers black eyed peas lano ritchie ll cool j megan the stallion nikki minaj pat benatar sam smith the black keys and more so get ready for that you can tune in and watch that on an exclusive stream each night september 23rd and 24th on the cw app and cwtv.com and there'll also be a two-night television special in October as well.

And it's also going to broadcast live throughout the country across more than 150 markets on the iHeartRadio. Hey, iHeartRadio Music Festival is always a great time. Yeah, and it's a lot of different genres of music, so you get exposed to things that maybe you wouldn't have listened to before. Now, other festivals, Made in America, Tyler the Creator, Bad Bunny, Lil Uzi Vert, Pusha T. Those are just some of

the performers. That's going to be September 3rd and 4th in Philly. Snow Allegra, Kodak Black, Burnaboy, Victoria Monet. Those are just some of the people that you can see. Babyface Ray at Made in America. And then the Day in Vegas 2022 festival has been announced. And that's going to be September 2nd to the 4th. And the headliners for those nights, right, because it's three, is SZA, J. Cole, and Travis Scott. So those are the headliners for Day in Vegas. and at that festival you can see Summer Walker, Playboy Cardi, Trippie Rez, City Girls, J-Rock, 21 Savage, Her, Vince Staples, Baby Keem, Jhene Aiko, Freddie Gibbs, Pusha T, Earthgang, just a whole lot so festival season is in full effect. Yeah personally I mean all of those lineups are

great I'm glad to see Travis Scott getting another chance on those stages. All right. Now let's talk about Nick Cannon. Man, he was on lip service. And when I tell you he did not want to leave, he had things to do afterward. They were like, cancel it. I'm going to continue to stay here. And he was just baring his soul.

Now he did confirm that he had some kids on the way. Here's what he said. It says you have three babies on the way. Is that true or false? Well, when some kids on the way here's what he said it says you have three babies on the way is that true or false well when you say on the way you know what god damn it what count you at i'm like let's just put it on the way they're not here yet well yeah the stork is on the way it has the package yes there's there's's three. I don't know. It could be. You know. This is what I said. If you thought the numbers I put up in 2021 was.

Wait till you see what happens in 2021. Yeah, Nick Cannon having kids on the way is just a headline. You should never tuck if you a media outlet. Just keep that one on deck. You're going to probably need it at any time all right now he also said that he did not know at first that he was packing all right and he learned that uh later in life here's what he said i just learned that i'm supposedly packing or whatever like that because i'm never really seen other people's watch porn not really not like that i was small though all through high school i was like five two five three so in my mind i'm like oh i'm probably a little guy i don't have giant hands or i always had like my feet were big but i like i was always a little dude so in my mind i'm

like oh this is what i got to work with i'm cool and then i was told i don't know how true this is because like it's all about how you work it or what you do like i was told probably because i was quite sexual and probably you know in touch with myself as a young man quite a bit that that helps with how the pleasure is produced yeah so you think masturbating makes your i've heard that no it doesn't well okay it doesn't all right by Okay, it doesn't. By the way, I'm the opposite. For all of you at home trying this right now. It doesn't. I didn't know I was average until I started hearing about these 12-inch monsters. So I'm the opposite of Nick.

I thought I was fine until, you know, starting hearing otherwise. Now, Nick Cannon also responded to people in comments talking about he's spreading bacterial vaginosis around. I probably every other week have to get blood work done based off of my lupus and all that and in those when i'm getting those cultures and everything i have i have i see doctors quite a bit right run it all make sure and as we know when it comes to bv because that is a big thing because but also there's a rumor they feel like oh that men can't get it and all that like men definitely can get it yes and you carry it on and you can pass it on and you can get this thing

where it's actually you can get bb tech uh technically like in your prostate it's like yeah and that's where you that's where you hold it and that's how you're giving it to people i gotta be healthier than most so i'm making sure even the sexual partners, whether it's multiple or not, everybody got to be on the same vibe. Hold on, I'm confused. So is Nick saying he has a dirty deal or he don't? He said he doesn't, and he gets tested all the time,

and that's how he knows he's not spreading it around. So when people are in the comments saying that he's spreading it, it's not true. Oh, got you. I feel like we breezed past. How many kids does Nick got coming now? He's got more kids on the way? I don't know if he knows for sure.

But he does have more kids on the way. Yes, he does have more children on the way. He did not confirm the exact number. I love Nick. I love Nick Cannon and I know everything he does is calculated, but I just wonder, can a father really give those kids what they need if they're spread out all over the place?

Because I got four under one roof, and I'm telling you right now, giving each and every one of them equal attention is no joke. You have to be intentional about that even when they live with you, so I can imagine how hard it is when they don't. You said that story about the guy with, I think he had 33 kids. That's ridiculous. It's impossible for him to be the father that those kids need, I think. That's my personal opinion.

All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Coming up next, we got front page news. And we'll let you know the world's most expensive cities. All right, so let's see. And this is the world, not just the United States, just so you can get some context. Every city right now in inflation.

We'll talk about it when we come back at The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hey, what up, y'all? It's DJ Envy.

The General Auto Insurance Services, Inc., an insurance agency, Nashville, Tennessee.

Some restrictions apply. WWPR FMHD1 New York. And iHeart Radio Station. Take me out this mood glare. Yes. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off today. It's time for front page news.

What we got, Yee? All right. Well, let's start with some sports, by the way. Yesterday, during a WNBA game between the New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx at the Barclays, a group of topless pro-choice protesters ran onto the court at the game. Now, some of the topless pro-choice protesters ran onto the court at the game. Now, some of the women who took off their tops but covered their chests rushed down

mid-game, held up signs in support of the Roe versus Wade ruling, and they were eventually escorted out by security, but there were no charges made. One sign read, Overturn Roe. Hail. No. Another said, Abortion on Demand and Without Apology. And protests at the Barclays, while this was going on, there were also people who were protesting at Joel Osteen's service on Sunday.

They stripped down to their underwear. And that is all as news has come, as we all know, of the U.S. Supreme Court potentially overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion ruling. I mean, I think that's great that they're protesting. I just think it's kind of strange to interrupt a WNBA game. I'm pretty sure everybody at the WNBA game is against what they're trying to do to Roe v. Wade. So that's kind of a weird place to interrupt, don't you think? But as you can see, there was no charges filed.

So I will say, I know that at the But as you can see, there was no charges filed. So I will say I know that at the Barclays, the ownership there, they do encourage activism. Yeah. You should go somewhere where it's actual disruption. I mean, it's good that they brought attention to it, but you should go somewhere where you can

actually cause a disruption. Go to the people that are actually trying to get rid of Roe vs. Wade, get in their face. Well, maybe Joel Osteen's mega church was the place. Right now, the world's most expensive cities for 2022. Let's get into that list. And by the way, what country do you think has the most cities on that list in the top 10?

America. Or the most expensive continent,. Or the most expensive continent. Asia, the most expensive continent. There's five cities that landed in the top 10. Yes, on that list. So the world's most expensive cities coming in at number one is Hong Kong. Number two is New York. Number three is Geneva.

Four is London. And five is Tokyo. So the only place in the top 10 from the United States was New York. New York is the only most expensive city in America? No, in the United States. I mean, not in the country. In the world. Yeah, in the world.

Oh, in the world. In America, yes. Yeah, this is in the world. Hong Kong is number one. So no other city in America is on the list? Not in the top 10. Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, in this list of top 10.

Alright, and by the way, Target is slashing prices. They're trying to clear out inventory, so if you're trying to snatch up a good deal, because we all need one right now, it's the time to do that. They're canceling orders from suppliers, particularly for home goods and clothing, and they're slashing prices

to get rid of inventory ahead of the fall and holiday shopping seasons. They announced this yesterday. There is a shift on where Americans are spending their money from investments in their homes. And now they're spending money on experiences like travel, nights out for dinner, other pre-pandemic routines. Shoppers are also focusing more on non-discretionary items like groceries as inflation is making them more selective. So because that's happening right now at Target, you can get some great deals on some of those items that they need to clear out as they're trying to bring in some more things for holiday. Boy, you better take advantage of them discounts, especially if you're

trying to, you know, save a dollar or two, which we all are. Yes, indeed. Well, that is your Front Page News. Now, coming up next, we do have a special guest. Yes, the Big Seals will be joining us. Amanda Seals, she's about to go back on tour. She has a tour launching called the Black Outside Tour, as well as Smart, Funny, and Black.

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.

Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets. How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello? And how would you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your life-altering medical procedure a secret from everyone? And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child?

and others are just tuning in. Whatever the case, and wherever you are, thank you for being part of our Family Secrets family, where every week we explore the secrets that are kept from us, the secrets we keep from others, and the secrets we keep from ourselves. Listen to season 11 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, and we have our good sister in the building today. Amanda Seals. Big Seals. The Big Seals.

Oh, my God. Yes. How are you? It's been a long time. I'm good. I mean, the world's been a long time. I'm good. I mean, the world is trash. I feel like I'm good considering the world is trash, which makes it a daily conversation with yourself. There's almost like a survivor's remorse or like a guilt about feeling good when the world is trash.

Is it just me? No, I'm reading this book now called The Big Leap, and that's what it talks about. It talks about how you have to intentionally allow yourself to be happy in spite of. But who said that? Like, they're just like, you have no choice? He calls it the ultimate something theory.

I can't remember the exact name, but it's this theory that once you get over that, then you can get to your zone of genius. I don't think you have to gloat about things going well for you but you also should celebrate yourself when things do go well it is true but so many of us don't it is a yeah because sometimes you downplay like things went well but you don't want to say that because you know other people are absolutely suffering but bingo with things going well for you you can can help other people, too. I definitely feel you. I also feel like the Internet can definitely be like this place of I don't know. Policing is even the right word, but just like, no, you need to act this way about this.

You need to speak this way about this or you're being disrespectful to this group or et cetera, et cetera. So sometimes you just feel like, OK, I'm just going to be in. I'm not going to tell anyone. I was excited because I closed on a Airbnb investment property that I did. I've been wanting to do this. Right. And so I was like, I'm so excited. It's like upstate New York. And so I was like, I'm excited.

I got my first whatever. And then people were like, are you going to turn it into affordable housing? Oh, my God. See? See? Just get it. By the way, the internet does no policing, by the way. The internet kicks down the door and they just come in blazing.

Right. Well, that's policing. That is true. That's why we need a new non-op rule. That is policing. That is policing. Well, Amanda, you know you always come up here and give us everything. What you want today.

I really was thinking. I was like, what are we going to give today? Well, in the rumor report yesterday, Yee. Yes, we talked about what you had to say about The Real, not including you. Which wasn't much. And I know you wanted to express what happened behind the scenes because they did their farewell episode and they paid

homage to all the hosts, but somehow you were left out. Not all. Right. In my mind, when you ended it with the dot, dot, dot, I'll have more to say about this. In my mind. Breakfast Club. Well, you know, I actually have my own place, the Amandaverse, that people can subscribe to.

It's like, and if you rock with me and you want to support the independent artists in me, then you can subscribe there for five bucks and you will get a full taste of that whole scenario. I mean, listen. Can we get a small dose here? You can get a small, and my podcast is small doses. Ooh, ooh, ooh. get a small dose here? You can get us and my podcast. First of all, let me just say that I'm always shocked at people's verbalized as because one, it wasn't feeding my soul because it was being misrepresented. It was a white leadership that was outwardly presenting as a show of diverse voices.

But the leadership and the decision making about what content was being produced, et cetera, et cetera, was not being done by people who were even involved in. It's not to say that there aren't like white people that are involved in communities outside of whiteness, but these people weren't, you know what I'm saying? So that along with a myriad of other things in terms of like a toxic work environment and just business practices and professional practices that didn't even just affect me. They affected my makeup team. They affected my glam team. You know, like they affected my assistant team. They affected my glam team. You know, like, they affected my assistant.

Like, they affected the other hosts. Like, it was not just a singular issue. But that is what I said was the reason why I left. And then when this happened, and I was like, you know, I think it's interesting that I was left out. People's argument is, well, I don't know why you thought they would include you. You was talking about the show. And it's like me holding an employer accountable for behaviors and for practices that are deleterious to the positive work environment

of people. There is not being on the show. You know, I never talked about my my co-hosts. I never made it about the actual talent on the show. I made it about the leadership. And I feel like that's what we need to be doing. When we look at Chris Smalls and him creating this union, you know, in the midst of Amazon, it's not him saying don't order from Amazon, but he's saying like, yo, there needs to be better business practices and we need to be able to challenge and have that. I think some people think because it's TV or whatever it is, like how dare you want better for anything?

Like you get to be on TV, you get to be glamorous, you get to get money. By the way, I wasn't really getting that money on there. But it's really about just saying like, why should anybody have to settle for being treated below their worth in any environment? And that's how change can happen too. If somebody speaks out about it and talks about

leadership. Which is how they ended up with the Black EP. Because I came out and was vocal, which inspired some of the people who were still remaining on the cast to challenge and say that needs to be in place in order for us to continue to be here. So I think

some people just don't with me and so they're just going to try and come with any reason to be like well i don't know why she but truthfully i am in this particular instance i'm going to stand on the fact that at the end of the day if you're going to do a retrospective of the show over the years it's been on and the hosts that have been on it it don't matter what i say you are a host i mean they the show. I'm the host on the show. I mean, they kind of proved you right. You know what I mean? No, seriously. If you're saying that this show wasn't good for my spirit

because of X, Y, and Z, and then they purposely and intentionally leave you out, it's like... Which I have confirmed was the case. Duh. It's obvious. It wasn't like, oh, we forgot her. It's like, nah.

Then people are like, oh, well, she was only there for five minutes. I was like, no. I was there for six months. Three of those months were in a pandemic. And I signed a contract. I was, no, I was there for six months. Three of those months were in a pandemic and I signed a contract. I lived out my contract. You wasn't with me shooting in the gym at 4.30 a.m.

going in there to do that. You know, like it really is incredibly taxing on all parts of your life, your personal, physical, mental, et cetera. I'm not complaining about that part, but I'm saying like I committed myself to this and I gave myself to that. And I know from the individuals who have taken time to to tell me and i thank all of you i know that i contributed immensely to that space right so like that's what really means the most to me is like

i've had so many positive dms and on twitter etc and saying like yo that was screwed up shout out to you like you made the show elevate you you were light in the in the space of this project. And I just I just hate that folks really don't understand the difference between being on something and calling for change. Correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't Tamar have issues to Tamar issues? Allegedly, she had like apologized. And that's why they included her.

But I have nothing to apologize about. They need, they should be apologizing to me. And in the Amandaverse, I will speak more to scenarios

that I feel like took place on that show that led to me saying it doesn't feed my soul. But ultimately, they had the opportunity to do right in this instance

and they chose not to. What about the women on this show when they see you, the other hosts? Are they friendly? Do you speak to them? Well, we haven't even seen anybody really in like years because of this panini. But Jeannie and Adrienne hit me up and were like, that's bullshit. We did not realize that that was happening. And we were going to do a live, an Instagram live, but then our schedules didn't line up.

And it was just like, you know, it's fine. But, you know, I talk to Jeannie and Adrian all the time. The one thing I wanted to reiterate before we get off the real is that it didn't take you long to know that that show didn't agree with your spirit. And I think people don't realize that because they only see what they see when you talk about it. But behind the scenes, you knew. Like, you was like, I'm done in this six months.

You said that probably the first week. No, I didn't say that. Maybe the first month at least. Well, because you just start to realize that what you were told is not what it is. And that's just it. You know, I thought I was being brought in there to elevate conversations. I was told that they wanted to have more talk about stuff going on in the zeitgeist and social justice, etc. And then I learned that that wasn't really why I was brought in there.

That was a portion, but I was really brought in there, you know, to kind of like be a villain. Because the women on the show at that point had basically like just started not having opinions on things because they really just didn't want to deal with the Internet response. And they wanted to just keep things chill. And also they'd been there so long that they always knew what each other was going to say. So they brought me in there to like, shake the table.

Shout out to K. Michelle. And I guess if I knew that was the assignment, I would have decided differently if I wanted to sign up for that. But that's not what I thought I was signing up for. All right, we got more with Amanda Seals when we come back. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.

Whoa. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee. We got our good sister Amanda Seals here. Now, Yee, got a question? Alright, let's move on to something else. Oh, God. Sirius XM. Oh, God.

Hey. Look at you going back. That's why I'm like, where the f*** is this every second god damn so you're back also with the show on Sirius never thought we'd see that happen y'all don't understand and to Envy and I was at Sirius

and it was a time it was a time honey and the full circle is really wild was at Sirius and it was a time. All at the same time. It was a time honey and the full circle is really wild. So I was on Sirius. That was my first job out of college and then nine months in I was in the right place at the right time when OutKast needed to be

interviewed. These other guys, the Wonder Twins they had to cancel because they had another gig and so their boss was like well you seem to know a lot about OutKast. Do you want to do the interview? And I was like, I didn't have to cancel on outcast. I know.

And it was like, outcast, outcast, love below. Like, and so, um, I did the interview.

My first interview ever was outcast, but I was like, which is like, and I remember, I remember during that interview, it was during a time when, because they were doing speaker box and love below, people were trying to say

that they weren't getting along. And, you know, people love conflict. And as I was talking to the brothers, Big Boy was very intense. He was like, you know, people keep trying to make it

like we're not brothers anymore, like we ain't rocking. Then Dre, like, starts singing in the background. You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky. And then the whole room went, be optimistic.

I was like, oh, and then we were in the elevator and the DJ put his hand in my hair and was like, oh, that's your hair. Wow. Like, OK, so we've covered spectrums here. But I was at Sirius for four years, you know, and it became a very difficult place to be because there was a certain there's like one person who like made it difficult. But Ang and Envy like made that ride hot, like they made it possible for me to like still persevere in that space. And I learned a lot there. And then I got fired because I went to the VMAs and I had gotten somebody to fill in for me. And I had asked the person in charge if that could happen.

And they said, yeah. But then the person above them, like he was like, you're being insubordinate. And so I got fired and then I got banned. Shouldn't you want your personality to go to the VMAs? Yes, you should. Unless you're jealous of them. And then you got banned. I got banned from Sirius for seven years.

Amanda was working really hard there. She was on every single day. You know, I mean, it was an intense job that you had. But to come back and circle back and now be there in the comedy space with Smart Funny and Black Radio on LOL Network Channel 96, on Kevin's network, that's like, it's trippy. My mom cried. I can't believe it.

You're back. You're back. So what brought you back? Was it Kevin Hart Kev so I did Kev's podcast and on his podcast he had asked me like

well do you think things have advanced for black women comics and I was like no and when Kevin was like well what do you want to do if you do it

if you want to do anything the radio show felt like a dope independent space to continue to build my audience and fortify it by speaking honestly and you know Sirius has allowed me to do that Smart Funny Black Radio is hosted by me independent space to continue to build my audience and fortify it by speaking honestly.

And, you know, Sirius has allowed me to do that. Smart Funny Black Radio is hosted by me and Jeremiah Like the Bible and Taj Rani. And these are folks that have worked with me for years. Jeremiah was an intern in our Smart Funny Black internship program. My man is our engineer and music producer. And he de-wills and he creates all of our sound imaging on the show. It's a family affair. How did the ending of Insecure feel for you?

Triumphant. Insecure was a journey, and I didn't come to L.A. with the mindset of, like, I'm going to get on a show, and it's going to be, you know, big, because so many of us don't even get to dream that, right? So to be a part of that was super dope. I'm not going to say that it was a completely positive experience, but I will say that it was a learning experience. And then I met some really great people that have become like an integral part of my life. It's very surreal, right? It's like because it's like,

you know, I look at us as we're all classmates. We all came up together. So it's like, damn, listen, Amanda was on Insecure for five seasons. That's how I feel. It's like damn listen Amanda was on insecure for five seasons that's how I feel like it's like I don't know it's like wow like damn I know her like you know what's funny I was talking to my boy um Carlos from 85 south Carlos Miller and he was like you know you a whole superstar and I was like who I know there's people right now they're like who I don't even know her. So I agree with you. You know, I feel like I've just continued to plot my course,

but I think, I guess when he's saying that it's because it's like, yeah, but you've continued to plot your course. I mean, you had a whole HBO special. I did have a whole HBO special. And I'm in the process of getting my together for my next special. That's why I'm going on tour.

That's why I'm here to announce the Black Outsider. We Black Outsider again. The Black Outsider again tour. You know, stand up. Stand up ran away from me during the pandemic. I just didn't. I didn't miss it. I went.

I did two sets in two years. Wow. And neither of those sets were anything to write home about. Like, I was like, oh, I guess I'm not good at this anymore. And then three months ago, I just got up and was like, it's time. And so I'm back on the road. I just had two sold out shows at the improv. It was so nice to just be back in front of my audience.

Because, you know, when you're doing showcase shows, you're just in front of whoever shows up. So a lot of times that's just like mediocre whites, you know, like you just doing stand up for mediocre whites that don't know about you know you having to explain you say juneteenth and they're like what's that you know you talk about actual issues going on they're like i'm uncomfortable you know so that's not who i want to speak to i want to speak to audiences that are interested in not only laughing, but learning

and like leveling up. And so I got to do that at the improv recently. And my second show, I did an hour and 40 minutes. Wow. And I still have material left over. And people want to see you

taking it seriously too and putting in the work. Right. And so you've been taking it seriously and putting in the work. I mean, I shut everything down. That's what I was doing. I like really came into the comedy space and really committed myself.

I just remember, I just remember being down in like the village during the polar vortex and saying to myself, damn, like you really committed to this. It's a polar vortex. Everybody felt like they could get on stage and be a comedian until they get on stage and try to be a comedian. Char, I remember Char being like, I'm not doing this no more. You were like, if I remember correctly.

Everybody was telling me I should do it, so I said, you know what, I'm going to host them. So I have other comedians and then in between I'll come out and see how it feels. I'm like, hell no. I remember, correct me if I'm wrong, but you said something like, I don't have the commitment to write. I don't have the commitment, nor do I have the, uh, I don't have the stomach for it. I can't stand the commitment, nor do I have the, I don't have the stomach for it.

I can't stand it. I can't be on that stage and say something and people just looking at you stupid. I just can't do it. Well, you know what? There's a corner you turn where you realize like, I'm funny.

So if y'all ain't laughing right now, maybe I'm off today or maybe y'all just dumb. Is this another HBO special you have in the works? It's another special. You know, in a perfect world, I would put it out independently. I would really like to give y'all just dumb. Is this another HBO special you have in the works? It's another special. You know, in a perfect world, I would put it out independently. I would really like to give y'all

a special for free. Why not do it? I am. Okay, okay, okay. Well, I'm just, I'm really trying to change the model. You know what I'm saying? And identify a model

that doesn't rely on somebody else to say yes, who don't even really care about you. You know, like you're trying to fit into these mandates. And yeah, a lot of people don't understand this TV is not about like what's good. No, it's based on a whole lot of weird because it's based on what already worked. But you already did that. Let's find out what's next.

And even if you are going to do that, it's like, how do we innovate that? And they're like oh that's scary you know so for me i'm like how do i create a world where i just don't have to rely on these other factions for yes that's why my audience is so important because if i have the support of them they're supporting me because they know what i'm about and so when i'm looking for support from them for something that i want to do, I'm not having to convince. They get it. They understand.

The dream is to get a Louis C.K. deal like he had with his show at FX, where they literally were just like, OK, we want you to do a show. And he was like, well, I'm only going to do a show under these terms. I'm not going to take notes. I'm not going to do budget approvals. You're basically going to send me a check. I'm going to shoot the show, edit it, and I'll send it back. And they were like, fine. Wow. You know, we're all aspiring to have the kind of freedom that white men have. All right, we got more with Amanda Seals when we come back.

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.

Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee. We got our good sister, Amanda Seals here. Now, Yee. Amanda, I saw an interview where you said that you actually spoke to a psychic and that helped guide you as far as your education. Oh, yeah, my professor. Your professor, right.

So do you still see psychics? You know what? I haven't since like the first year of the pandemic, but I did see a psychic. And she was the one who told me, because I told her, I was like, I don't really think I want to have kids. And she was like, yeah, in because i told her i was like i don't really think i want to have kids and she was like yeah in your chart there's no kids she had also said that she was like oh like your relationship is strong like it's this is not like a flash in the pan she's right i

mean who i'm with is who i'm gonna be with until one of us die and i feel like i typically see psychics that are more astrologically inclined than just like i feel like this is going to happen and then that's that i like mediums i like the spirit guides that can talk to you the ancestors and spirits around you i've never done that the two i've spoken to have been beyond accurate and you didn't answer about the the safety are you going to have security with you yeah i mean i always have security just because i'm a woman in this world. So it's not like I look at it like I need to have a security with the AR-15, but I definitely have security just because we've always lived in a world that did not protect women. I was in Sacramento

one time and a dude just walked on my stage and it was a little ass stage. Like it wasn't like somebody. Hello. Literally like, and my homeboy was there for the sole purpose. I know he listening right now. I'm talking about you. He was there for the sole purpose of the fact that he was about to join us on tour as security. So he's there. He's sitting on the side of the stage. He's eating French fries and a whole ass man walks down the aisle up the stairs and onto my stage. It was one of these little platform stages. And I'm just like, what's happening right now?

The dude is like, yo, I love you so much. I really just want to be with you. Da-da-da-da. I look over, and my nigga is eating french fries. Was he real security, or just? No, he was not security. But at the end of the day. He realized in that moment, like most people do when they get on stage.

Like, that just ain't for me. I need you to realize that before I'm in danger of that. You know what I'm saying? When I looked over and he was like, mmm. Like, I felt like I could see the salt crystals, like, dissolving on his tongue. As this man stood in front of me. And this man could have done anything to me. Like, he was close enough to where he could have done anything.

And the security at the venue also didn't move. So, I finally had to be like, Hey, like what's help? Come on. So then people came and took him down, but homeboy still sat there. And after the show,

he was like, I mean, well, what did you want me to do? I didn't, I didn't, I didn't identify any danger. And I was like, you know,

he got fired before his first day. Correct. Have you ever beefed with a comic over headliner status? You know, that situation is confusing to me because it feels like they were both duped. I don't know if I... It feels like the promoter. Yeah, it feels like the promoter duped them. So it feels like

it feels very white colonizer behavior where you create the conflict and then you remove yourself from it. You're like, okay, now fight Negroes. I've never beefed over anything with a comic. Not enough for me to remember right now. You know, what I love about the comedy space,

you know, people would be like, oh, like, you're in comedy? That's so much, that's so difficult. So difficult. I'm like, I come from hip hop. Like, that was a much harder space. Comedy is a lot more meritocracy. And, you know, if you funny, you funny.

I had a moment the other day where I did a show it was a black show and I bombed. Recently? Yeah. It was my version of bombing. It was earlier that day I had gotten some bad news. I was trying to do Smart, Funny, and Black as a Juneteenth special and Smart, Funny, and Black is my live variety

game show. I've been touring it since 2016. It actually, we will have Smart, Funny, and Black dates on the Black Outside Again tour so you can catch us in LA, Detroit, Atlanta. I've been touring it since 2016. It actually, we will have Smart, Funny and Black dates on the Black Outside Again tour so you can catch us in LA, Detroit, Atlanta. I think I have one here. King's Theater? King's Theater! October 29th? Yes! And we will be at the Kendi Center so I'm doing a weekend at the Kendi Center

22nd and 23rd so you can see stand-up, you can see my podcast live, small doses, and you can see Smart, Funny and Black. So I've lost my train of thought. You said you bombed. Oh, yeah, I bombed. So I went and I did this show. And that night, I learned that the Smart, Funny, and Black Juneteenth special that I

had sold, that we were going to have to walk away. And we had to walk away because the network that we were selling it to refused to negotiate with us and give us the money that we needed to do the show that we sold them. And it was so frustrating because I felt like I had gotten so close and I knew that we couldn't do this because it was going to require us to have to ask for favors.

And it's so irritating to me that so often with Black projects, we have to ask for favors. We have to, you know, eek this shit out. And it's not to say that other projects don't have the same thing, but this was particularly a Juneteenth project that I was doing in partnership with juggernauts, okay? I was doing this in partnership with Jesse Collins and with Heartbeat. We shouldn't have had to deal with those types of limitations and obstacles

because it really should have been like, oh, shit, like, how can we make this happen? And the idea to me of having black creatives work for free on Juneteenth. Yeah, you can't shortchange black creatives for a Juneteenth special. I can't. It's completely counterintuitive. But I had to walk away from it. It just broke my heart that I was once again put in that position of having to have having to stand on principles in the face of this predatory capitalist bull. And I hit the stage, hit the stage after that.

And I just did not hit it. And after that. So so then I knew, OK, that was not a good because you see at that show, all the black comics are standing there looking at you like that's what you're doing. I guess I guess insecure ended and she she she not hitting and so then three days later i had to do the comedy store with the same black comics were going to be there and it was like bitch you better get it together but y'all when i came on stage three different brothers they weren't even together three different brothers gave me a standing ovation when I came on stage and I was like oh this is different and they were cisgendered heterosexual brothers at that so it's more like yes um but I think I just

translated in my head to like yes in my head everything is yes confused me and you said then it was yes um and it was like they was like, yeah. Then it was, yes. And they was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Say your shit. Say your shit. And so then that gave me some strength back. And then I had one of the best sets. That was the set that let me know it's time to go on the road. All right.

Well, Amanda, how can people get tickets? You can get tickets to the Amanda Seals Black Outside Again Tour by going to amandaseals.com. You can follow me on Instagram. You can go to the amandiverse.com if you're really about this amanda movement and be a part of the seals squad and um i just want to say for everybody out there like we are in a very critical time man that's an understatement we're in a really critical time and any energy i feel that we are spending particularly as black

people against questioning another black person's blackness i feel like it's energy that we are spending, particularly as black people, against questioning another black person's blackness. I feel like it's energy that we are taking away from challenging anti-racism, from challenging anti-blackness, from challenging, you know, these Democrats to actually do any of the things that they said they were going to do. Like when we said hold these people accountable in order to get our vote, like that meant we need to be a force. We need to come together and we need to demand this needs to happen. But in order to make those demands, we have to be working in tandem together. We have to have a certain level of like, okay, maybe I don't agree with you on everything,

but I do agree with you on us. And there's going to be black folks who aren't a part of that. There's anti-black folks that are just out here like roaches, just scuttling around. They're agents of chaos. They're agents of chaos. There's anti-black folks that are just out here like roaches, just scuttling around. They're agents of chaos. They're agents of chaos. They left the spiritual base and are praising the same God as these cretins, which is the God of greed.

And those folks, I don't f*** with. Those folks don't get to come to the barbecue and those folks don't get the access to the ancestral knowledge that we do have. But there are folks far from that that may not agree with me on things, but they are not that. And those folks are the ones that we need to from that that may not agree with me on things, but they are not that. And those folks are the ones like that we need to align.

We may not agree on everything, but we agree on us. And I feel like when we can really start to harness that, we will be able to make so much more change. And that's what I'm doing at my shows. I'm trying to harness that. So come out to Amanda Seals Black Outside Again Tour because we are black outside again. That's right. And we got to raise up and rise up. I love talking to personalities that can do radio and podcasts and everything.

It makes it so easy. So light. It's Amanda Seals. We love you, Seals. Thank you. Love y'all, too. Breakfast Club. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee.

alright now D.L. Hooghly has criticized Monique for discussing his daughter's sexual trauma and using that and weaponizing it and the back and forth the two of them have been having. If you recall, Monique had posted on Instagram an interview that D.L. Hughley had.

And she said that when my husband and I say we have to fight for the little girls coming up behind us and you see D.L. didn't believe his own daughter over a friend because he seemingly liked his friend more than he loved his own daughter and didn't want to be bothered by the inconvenient truth. This highlights why the black woman isn't believed when she publicly speaks about her trauma. And that was the post that she had done. Since then, D.L. Hughley's daughter has also responded to Monique's attack on her trauma that she went through.

She said, Hi, at The Real Mo Worldwide. I'm Ryan Nicole Shepard, Dio Hugli and LaDonna Hugli's eldest daughter. You've now publicly disrespected my mother, who I love and care for very much, and my baby sister, who I love and care for very much.

To get back at my father, who I love, respect and care for very much. At this point, I feel like you are asking my family and myself to act out of character. Well, Dio Hugli has also now responded to Monique again, even though he had said that he was, it was the final straw and he was done discussing it. Here's what he had to say. But you and your husband putting a man in my daughter's room, and that is not what I said,

and weaponizing and using an attrite argument shows exactly how low you are. You are a monster. You literally are. You didn't play precious as mother. You let her out. Who says they love women and are there for women and protect the babies and would trot out someone's sexual trauma just to use in an argument. You have had this argument or this show be about everything. It was about a contract. It was not. It was about an insult on my radio station. The question never aired. Maybe leaving my children out of your mouth will leave you room for the food you love so much. Okay.

Hopefully that's the end of this. I don't know. Is there any coming back from all of this with the two of them? I'm staying out of grown folks' business. Hopefully that's the end of this. I don't know. Is there any coming back from all of this with the two of them? I'm staying out of grown folks' business. But, you know, when you come into a man's family, you know, DL's doing what a man does.

He's protecting his family in this moment. So I get it. All right. Well, Jemichael Jones, he's the person who's being accused of murdering Trouble, was given a preliminary hearing date of June 15th after he surrendered himself to authorities. So that's the date that they have said it's going to be at 1 p.m. on June 15th. They also revealed exclusive details from the arrest warrant for Jemichael Jones. And they said court documents say Trouble was asleep in the bed of a woman who told police her ex-boyfriend, broke in, started fighting her and Trouble before shooting him and taking off.

They said she woke up to her ex-boyfriend punching her in the face, which eventually escalated into the fatal fight. And this is all from CBS journalist Tori Cooper, who has been live tweeting everything that she's been finding out. They said they broke up, what, a week prior? Like a week ago? That's what the lady said in the court documents? They just broke up a week ago? Mm-hmm.

Yeah, they were arguing with each other about him not having a job and not helping her pay the bills. And they said that he reportedly punched the woman in the nose at the time. And when she called 911, he fled the scene back then. And she had not seen him, and he had not been back home since that initial fight that they had until then. So he probably was furious at the fact that she was messing around with somebody who clearly had some means, had some money, right? Yes, indeed. All right, now DDG is facing some legal trouble. They are saying that he was booked in L.A. after being arrested Monday night on a felony charge for carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle. He was, though, quickly released after posting a thirty five thousand dollar bond. So they said he was pulled over. It was a routine traffic stop for reckless driving in his Lamborghini. They searched his car. They found the weapon and that's what led to the felony charge. And

Little Baby said he had spoken to Young Thug. He said he is in great spirits. So he posted that on Twitter and despite everything, he is remaining optimistic. So that's an update on what's happening as far as we know with Young Thug. Alright, I'm Angela Yee and that is your Rumor Report.

Now coming up next, Charlamagne, we have donkey of the day. Yeah, man. Four after the hour, let's have a conversation about attempting to control your emotions, how you should never let your emotions overpower your intelligence. We'll talk about it four after the hour. We need a young lady named Augustine Gladney to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her. All right, donkey of the Day next.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Take control of a safer home with Kidda's new smoke and carbon monoxide alarm with smart features. A smart alarm that provides continuous 10-year detection of smoke and carbon monoxide. And real-time notifications through Kidda Home Safe and the Kidda app. Shop now exclusively at the home Depot. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. You can see donkey, donkey, bunch of J.J.

It's time for the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Yes. Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, June 8th goes to a Fort Worth, Texas woman named Augustine Gladney.

Augustine is 40 years old, and she has been arrested and charged with abuse of a corpse. Interesting charge. As soon as you hear that charge, I'm sure your ears perk up, and you would like to hear more, wouldn't you? Why in the hell did this 40-year-old woman get charged with abuse of a corpse? Well, I'm sure you all saw a young lady go viral on TikTok, right, with the caption, he cheated, so I threw his mom's ashes in the river.

With the question, did she take it too far? The answer would be yes. But authorities have not confirmed the woman in the video to be Augustine Gladney. But according to these digital detectives, these social media sleuths, these Instagram inspectors and Facebook federal agents, the video was a skit based on Gladney's actions. See, Augustine really did what she is accused of doing. And because of that video that's been making its rounds on Twitter and the talker of the ticks, many news outlets have reported the crime occurred last week. But that is not true. Sidebar, I'm telling you all right now, social media should not have all this power.

They used to say, believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. Nowadays, because of the lies lies propaganda and false narratives that are started because of social media you should believe none of what you hear and absolutely not a damn thing you see because what you see is either fake a lie or just something out of context okay or just somebody trying to go viral it's so strange what we allow people on social media and youtube to make us believe okay look what they did with the Honeypot Collection. Random TikTok user creates a video saying they're not black-owned no more, and that lie travels around the world four times before the truth is even putting on its shoes.

I mean, a lie on social media travels faster than a dollar through the black community. And then that lie is believed longer than the time it takes for a dollar to stay in the Asian community. And that's a pretty long time, by the way. Some say a dollar stays in the Asian community for 30 days or more. But all I'm trying to say is, niggas be lying on social media. Okay?

But that lie may or may not have been the reason for Augustine Gladney to get locked up because she was arrested and charged with abuse of a corpse two years after she really threw her ex-boyfriend's mother's ashes into Lake Worth, which is a lake northwest of Fort Worth. According to the Fort Worth Police Department, Augustine dumped the ashes of a brother named Ernestine Smith's mother into a lake in 2020, but she was charged with the crime on May 4th of this year. According to records, Smith told police on June 3rd, 2020, that his late mother's urn was missing from the residence he and Gladney shared. He maintains that he overheard a conversation Gladney had with her daughter,

admitting to the act, and later, Ernest said Augustine texted him, also confessing to what she had done, and police advised Ernest to collect all text interactions with Augustine as evidence. And this viral video that's actually a sketch based on what Augustine did has brought a lot of spotlight to the case. So technically what y'all have done to Augustine is probably caused her to get the maximum sentence. Okay, that's probably what's going to happen.

Abuse of a corpse is a Class A misdemeanor that carries a four thousand dollar fine and up to a year in prison. The reason this woman will probably get hit with all of that is because now, thanks to social media, there is a visual, not an actual visual of what happened, but a reenactment of how disgusting something like this is, not to mention all the comments saying how effed up this is. I'm sure that those comments will influence a judge. Now, clearly this woman is worthy of a punishment, and whatever the law has for her is what the law has for her. She earned it. But social media should not influence any of these cases.

But sadly, they do. And this is a case where social media is probably going to get that woman some real jail time. At least, you know, it's up to a year. But I could see her getting some jail time. Now, according to Augustine's LinkedIn, she is a clinical office specialist at the College of Healthcare Professionals.

Sounds like a really decent job to me, and you are jeopardizing that livelihood simply because you couldn't control your emotions. Once again, this is why I tell people all the time to invest in their mental wealth. Therapy, therapy, therapy. I will scream it until I'm blue in the face, even though I could never be blue in the face because I'm black in the face. Okay. I don't know if this woman has ever sat with a therapist, but I promise you a few deep breaths would have kept her from making this poor choice. This was just an emotional reaction. And there is several

different anger management, breathing exercises you can do to stay calm. Okay. Next time someone gets you hot, just do some slow and deep breathing. Okay. Breathing slowly into your nose and out your mouth. Breathe deep from your belly, not your chest and keep repeating these breaths as necessary. Okay. Those simple breathing exercises will keep you from doing nut ass stuff like augustine did i promise you okay you'll become happy when you stop reacting and start controlling your emotions okay and stop listening to people tell you that things like this are justified just because somebody hurt your feelings okay i don't care if you're significant other cheated on you don't want to be with you no more breaks Breaks up with you, whatever. That doesn't justify you getting back through violence. This is an act of violence, okay?

I don't care how fed up you get. Don't get so fed up that you ruin your life. Okay, sure, you threw his mom's ashes in the river. You think you hurting him. But now you have to live with the energy of that heinous act, okay? That action you did is now your karma. All I'm simply trying to say is no matter the situation, don't let your emotions overpower your intelligence.

Before you react, think, all right? And if you need some help with your thoughts, find a mental health care professional to assist you with that. Please give Augustine Gladney the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons. Oh, now you are the donkey. healthcare professional to assist you with that. Please give Augustine Gladney the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh now you are the donkey of the day.

You are the donkey of the day. Yee haw. I mean, come on Augustine. You got therapy for black girls. You got Black Women's Mental Health Alliance. You got therapy for black girls.

You got Black Women's Mental Health Alliance. You got the Acoma Project. You got the Mental Wealth Alliance. Really no excuse for not getting the help you need in regards to properly deal with your emotions. Jesus. Agreed. Call Jesus, too, by the way.

All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day, Charlemagne. Now, coming up next, we do. And you got Ask Yee next. Yes, Ask Yee. If you have any questions, if you need some advice about anything, it could be about your love life, about breaking up, about friendships, about family, about work, any of those things, call us up right now, 800-585-1051, and I got you.

It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Come on, mom. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Ye.

Eat the bread. All right, it is time for Ask Ye. Now we got Marilyn on the line. What's up, Marilyn? Hi, Angela. What's going on, girl? What's up, Marilyn? Hi, Angela. What's going on, girl? What's the problem? Girl, so listen.

All right, so my baby father, which is my current boyfriend, we're together still. But during our relationship, he had a huge moment, and he got another girl pregnant. So now this girl has this baby, and she is, like, bugging out.

Like, this girl recently came to the house and destroyed both of our cars. And I know me. I got a kid, so girl recently came to the house and destroyed both of our cars. And I know me. I got a kid, so I'm trying to think first. But this is hard because I could get the same energy, but I don't want to. So I just want to know, like, what would you do? Have you gone to the police and pressed charges?

Yeah, I had to because she destroyed my car. Yeah. I mean, look, you need to get a restraining order against her. This needs to be taken seriously because somebody like that, you don't know what she might do or where she might turn up. And she needs to not be allowed to come anywhere near you guys. There needs to be repercussions for that. You know, they have a child together that he has to take care of. And so you don't even want him or her to be vindictive and do anything in court.

That's why it's so important for you to have representation to document these things that this woman is doing. Make sure you're not sending any crazy messages to her or doing anything in retaliation that can be used against you in court. And, you know, anything that she sends to you, save it, keep it. If it's voice messages, if it's text messages, you know, if you have security footage that shows her there, get all of that together so that it'll be handled, that she knows if she acts out of order and keeps on doing these things, that she's going to end up in jail. Yeah, that's what everybody keeps telling me,

and that's like, that's what I'm thinking, but this is real agony. Sorry, I don't know if I can curse on her or not, but thank you. You got to protect yourself, and you got to protect your family. I've done it, and I'm still in the process of doing those things,

just for the sake that I have a one year old son so I'm not even playing none of them games but yeah everybody tells me the same thing so I guess that's the right thing to do. And make sure everybody is on high alert okay so if you have friends and family members make sure

that they're you know around and that they know what's going on and they know the situation if you gotta have you know security camera footage whatever it is that you need to have know, around and that they know what's going on and they know the situation. If you've got to have, you know, security, camera footage, whatever it is that you need to have, make sure you have that because you have a one-year-old, like you said, and that is so important that you protect your child. Yes, thank you so much. Okay, you're welcome.

I just want to say to all the members of the club, I love y'all, I love y'all every morning. This is actually my first time getting through on the call because I've been calling like all the time and I never get through. So thank you so much. Shout out to you, Uncle Charla, and DJ Envy.

I've been doing your thing and I love listening to you every morning. We love you too, Marilyn. I know that ain't easy. All right. Well, it is Ask Yee. Call us up,

1-800-585-1051 and I got you. It's The Breakfast Club. Mm. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's The Breakfast Club. Here's some real advice with Antelie Yee. It's Ask Yee. It's The Breakfast Club. It's Ask Yee.

Hey, hello, Tiffany. Hey, Yee. What's up, girl? What's going on, huh? I just came on. I wanted to talk to you for a second. So I met this guy April 20th. When I met him,

I found out that he just got released from prison. He did 28 years for murder. Wow. But, you know, yeah,

he went in when he was 17. He's 46 now. Okay. We clicked. We clicked instantly. And we got to tell him, you know,

I mean, what is this, June 8th so like we kind of like there at that point but the problem

is like it was with family it was fine but we were just they thought we were just sleeping around or whatever

and the energy shifted and it was all these attitudes and I've done nothing to them so basically it came out

that they were like intimidated I guess by our relationship. And it's where his sister, his sister, she went above and beyond trying to break us up. And I guess it's still at that point where she feels like, I guess his family feels like it's too soon. You know, he went to prison when he was 17 years old.

And he hasn't, they feel like he hasn't experienced life and things. And they feel like he should come out here and experience life and, you know, mess with multiple women and, you know,

just kind of live his life first before he goes and settles down into a relationship. You know, and, you know, when he first came home, that's what he wanted. That's not what I,

you know, I didn't ask for anything. I was just enjoying, you know, his presence. He went to jail and r&b time good time um where he still has that that mentality from back in the day where they're like hey where are our r&b guys you know it's not that netflix and seal it's a date but you know what i'm saying and it's amazing but it's like they don't want it they you's like you choose her or us, or her sister specifically. It's like her or me. And he's like, I want her. This is what I wanted.

I always wanted to be in a relationship. I'm not in the street. He came home. He has a job. He didn't, you know, he's going to jail for murder. He didn't come home and get a job in three weeks. He's working. He's employed.

He's saving out. He doesn't go out and kick it and do a lot of stuff. So I really like him. He's great with his hours. He doesn't go out and kick it and do a lot of stuff. So I really like him. He's great with his grandchildren, trying to build a relationship with his children. And he's great with mine. And it's kind of crazy, but, you know, everyone just keeps trying to tell us we shouldn't be together. Or, you know, it's too soon. But I don't think it's too soon.

I think, you know, it went organic. I want to say a couple of things. Have you ever watched Love After Lockup? No, I have not. Oh, you should watch that. But I was going to say a few things here. Well, what his family is doing, they're doing what they feel like is out of love for him. Right?

They're trying to protect him. They're excited, happy that he's home. But he's been gone for 28 years. And so everybody thinks they know what's best for you. Right? And they've been there for him. They're excited, happy that he's home, but he's been gone for 28 years. And so everybody thinks they know what's best for you, right? And they've been there for him the whole time that he's been in jail and you're somebody new. So I think in this situation, it's very unique and you have to be really patient. What it is, it's going to take time in their eyes for you to prove to them that this is a situation that can work and what they think they're doing is what's best for him right and so keep that in mind I don't this is not personal against you it's the

situation that they feel like this is what he needs to be doing but he knows what he wants to do and nobody's gonna stop it if it's meant to be and if it's love but I would tell you to be cautious and take it slow because again, like you said, he's been gone for 28 years since he was 17. I know there's a lot of trauma that he has from being in jail. There's a lot of things he's going to be dealing with. A lot of things are new to him. He hasn't experienced before. So truthfully, you don't know how this might end up. If he's treating you right and doing all the right things, you know, go with that. But I wouldn't pressure it right now. And I would also just make sure, you know, you have to be aware of this unique circumstance

that you've gotten yourself into. And if it's meant to be, it will work out. But don't compromise yourself and your feelings either. Well, you know what? I'm prepared. Like, this doesn't really, it doesn't, it doesn't, it scared me at first. Like, hey, you know, I know this, this, this, that. But at the end of the day, I'm not delusional.

You know what I'm saying? I know where this could lead. I just want to see where it goes. Like, I enjoy him. And it's not anything that I present. This is something that he pushed for. I didn't, you know, I didn't push for this. And, you know, I had a conversation with his daughter, one of his daughters.

And she, you know, now she kind of understands because and his woman's daughter and she you know now she kind of understands because she was felt the same kind of way at first and now she kind of understands you know he had to talk to her and say hey this is me not her type of thing and I get it I know it's one of the possibilities yeah you just have to be patient like I said it's a unique circumstance

the family thinks they're doing what's best for him they're also trying to connect with him and they may be even a little jealous of the attention and time that he's giving to you. When they feel like 28 years we've been here for him and she just came out of nowhere. And that's how they might be looking at it. And so whether or not they acknowledge that, that might be part of what they're feeling. And it has been said, you know, it's like, like hey we wanted that bond that you guys have or whatever

but it's just like hey he can bond with all of us it's just like we don't want you around but it's to him I guess when I came home

I became his comfort zone you know like he's more comfortable and I think that's great and that could it sounds like you feel like

that could potentially be your soulmate so you know in a relationship the worst thing to do is have other people in the middle of it and involved in it so you guys have to focus on what you need to do but you know I would be respectful of the family and how they're feeling and I think in time they'll come around it's just they might look at it like you have a lot to prove right right and I get it I mean, I don't like nobody my daddy date, but they all kind of horrible.

There you go. And guess what? He also going to have a lot to prove to you also because, you know, outside of what he may feel like he wants or, you know, things could change. So just be prepared. And you said you are prepared for that. But best case scenario, you guys work it through. You know, a few months from now, the family is a lot more accepting as they see the rock that you're being for that. But best case scenario, you guys work it through. You know, a few months from now, the family is a lot more accepting

as they see the rock that you're being for him. And you guys can continue. All right. That sounds good. All right. I mean, yeah, it's about where we're at anyway.

So thank you. In the meantime, in the meantime, enjoy yourself and enjoy your relationship. You know, have a good time. Thank you. And you have a Have a good time. Thank you. You have a blessed life.

Oh, damn. Thank you. Wow. Why she say have a blessed life like that, man? Jesus Christ. My whole life she wants to be blessed, and I received that. Thank you. I'm glad you received it.

It just sounded harsh. Like you did something to her. Have a blessed life. She's never going gonna talk to me again That was Ask Ye And again we do that every Wednesday And Thursday And coming up next we got a rumor report

Yes Lil Nas X And he has a diss song about BET No he don't man What? It's the Breakfast Club Sit by myself. It's about time. What's going on?

Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Yes, so yesterday Rolling Stone released their list of the best hip hop albums ever. And, you know, things like this always cause a lot of arguments, right? I'll tell you what arguments had the most,

what are some of the most popular arguments. All right, let's see. Chance the Rapper, Acid Rap, his album was number 36. It was ranked above Dr. Dre's Chronic. Of all, like of all, you mean when you say all time, you mean I was born in 1978. So that whole time. All time. Yes.

So Acid Rap was ranked above Dr. Dre's The Chronic. Also Kendrick Lamar's Damn album, which was number 60. Good Kid Mad City was number 38. Kanye's College Dropout was number 52 on the list. And the Slim Shady LP was number 52 on the list. And the Slim Shady LP was number 85 on the list. Okay. Cardi B's Invasion of Privacy is number 16 on the list

ahead of Nas' Illmatic, which was number 24. Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt was number 26. And Tupac's All Eyes on Me was number 29. And Doggy Style from Snoop Dogg was number 35. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, Acid Rap is not better than The Chronic.

And that's not an age thing. That's just a sonic music thing. And Invasion of Privacy is a great album. But come on, Yee. You literally just, did you say Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt? Who else you said? Tupac, All Eyes on Me? Whoever did that list is just trying to get engagement. But I will say, all right, so do you want to hear the top 10 on the list?

Yes. Number 10, and this is definitely a classic album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. At what number? Number nine. Number 10. Number nine, The Low End Theory, A Tribe Called Quest. I do love that album.

Number eight, Enter the Wu-Tang, 36 Chambers. Number seven, Missy, So Addictive, Missy Elliott. Number six, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye. Number five, To Pimp a Butterfly, Kendrick Lamar. Number four, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, Public Enemy. Number three, The Blueprint, Jay-Z. Number two, Stankonia by Outkast. And number one on the list, Brooklyn's own Notorious B.I.G.

with Ready to Die. Yeah, I'm not mad at that top 10 at all. I mean, you know, whatever order you want to put any of those albums in, I'm with it. The only thing I would say is that I feel like it's a lot of sovereign bias because, you know, I love Outkast. Outkast should definitely be in the top

10, but what about, you know, an album like Goody Mob's Soul Food? What about, you know, Scarface, The Diary? You know, like, what about Ghetto Boys' Can't Be Stopped? Like it's a lot of I don't know, I feel like it's some down south bias. Alright, now let's talk about Joker. The sequel has been confirmed and Joaquin Phoenix is back. So you'll be excited for that. You liked the Joker, right? Oh, I did. I loved the first Joker movie. I like the DC movies

about the villains way better than the heroes, but the first Joker was awesome because it was a movie that really talked about mental health issues and bullying and how people end up being the Joker. And Cardi B has revealed the release date for her first Reebok collection of 2022, and that's going to be coming out on June 17th. So get ready for that. You can see the video of her wearing all her Reeboks that she has.

And Lil Nas X, he has teased a track where he is dissing BET. And remember we told you he was upset that he was not nominated at the BET Awards. And so he posted Late to the Party featuring Youngboy coming soon. And then he posted FBET, FBET. And here's that snippet. Oh, B-E-T. Uh, uh, uh. Hey, yo. Look it, uh, uh.

Slippin', uh, make it sloppy. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Look at how I talk this shit, bitch. I should put like three up in the top ten. And I don't mean nobody. I have no idea what Lil Nas X is saying or talking about, but I do respect the fact that Lil Nas X cares about BET and the BET Awards because BET is, you know, black entertainment television.

That's something that, you know, those of us born in the 1900s, we grew up on. So it shows how relevant that brand still is and what it means to black people because I would think somebody like Lil Nas X wouldn't care, honestly. Well, BET issued a response. What did they say? They said, we love Lil Nas X. He was nominated for a Best New Artist BET Award in 2020, and we proudly showcase his extraordinary talent and creativity on the show twice.

Unfortunately, this year he was not nominated by BET's Voting Academy, which is comprised of an esteemed group of nearly 500 entertainment professionals in the fields of music, television, film, digital marketing, sports journalism, public relations, influencers and creative arts. It happens, man. Back to the studio. That's all. And last but not least, Migos, they're no longer performing at the Governor's Ball due to circumstances out of the festival's control. This is all just feeding fuel to the rumor that the Migos have broken up. So they did not give an exact reason, but Lil Wayne will be added as a replacement. All right. Was any of Lil Wayne's albums on that Rolling Stone list?

I need to go look at that Rolling Stone list. It's 200 albums, so you got to go look at the whole list. Yeah, Thug Motivation 101 by Jeezy should be on there. T.I. Paper Trail. One of the Carta's

by Wayne. I would say the Carta 2 maybe. The Carta 1. Carta 1 was fantastic as well. Well, I knew that would make

you want to go look at the list. So yes, make sure you go and look at the whole entire, I couldn't go through all 200 albums for you but I see you're still

thinking about it. I am. But Travis Scott's Astroworld was number 200 on the list. I'm just trying to figure out how they got to all of these conclusions. Like I was, and I love, like I said, I'm not singling out Cardi because I love Cardi, but how is Invasion of Privacy better than Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, how is Chance

to Rap or Acid Rap better than The Chronic? I just want to know what, how did they get to these conclusions? And you know, this spans, like I said, ever. So it's a lot of albums that you have to take into consideration. Look, Camp Low made the list. That album was phenomenal. Camp Low album?

Uptown Saturday Night? Yep. Oh, that album was great. Yeah, I mean, it might be things you never even thought about, though. Like in your head, you might not have even been like, oh yeah, I will on my list grave diggers made the list six feet deep i love the grave diggers album what are you talking about six feet deep is phenomenal like come on constant elevation it's one of my favorite records it's so many different time periods i mean flo millie's on there her album came out in 2020, her debut mixtape. Ho, Why Is You Here is on the list.

You know, you got to go look at the whole list. So I think it always sparks conversation. Flo Millie is one of the, it just came out last year, and they're saying it's one of the 200 greatest hip-hop albums of all time. No, that's, no, come on now. We got to stop. But Goody Mob, Soul Food is on the list at 169. 169? Yeah. That's too low. 169? Yeah.

That's too low. It's too low. Yeah, that is too low for that album. UGA, I mean, they're on the list, too, for Super Tight. But, you know, just go, like I said, Rolling Stone, top 200 hip-hop albums. All right? I'm Manly Yee, and that is your report. All right, and I guess the People's Choice mix is up next,

even though Envy hasn't been here all week long. But somehow he still gets a mixing, you know. He won't let me do it. Yeah, back in the day, you know, Yee used to do a thing called a Yee Mix. I'm talking about back, back in the day. This might have been like a decade ago, you know, and it's a shame. And he got intimidated. It feels that way.

It feels that way. But Envy People's Choice Mix is up next. What see him doing right now on his page, by the way? What? He's posting stuff like it's from yesterday, but it's from like last week. You know how people do that? Because I see he's got the same outfit. Oh, man. It's the Breakfast Club.

Five days ago. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings five days ago. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hey, what up, y'all? It's DJ Envy.

Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off. We have no idea where Envy has been all week. I don't know what he's doing.

I don't know if he's on vacation. I don't know if he's doing some other things. But he'll be back tomorrow. Last I saw, he was dancing in a field. Oh, he'll be back tomorrow? Yeah, he'll be back tomorrow. I don't even think he's back tomorrow. I think he's not back until Friday.

He told me Thursday and Friday. Yeah, he's back Friday. Listen, last we saw it, DJ Envy was dancing in a field full of marijuana. And he hasn't been here all week. And he's definitely still posting cars. But, you know, I do want to say. He's still posting cars. He's definitely still posting cars.

I do want to say ahead of the positive note that I was at the Celebration of Service to America Awards last night here in D.C. that the National Association of Broadcasters puts on every year. It's hosted by Mario Lopez. And it's very inspirational just to see the great things that these networks are doing to help out the community. And so it definitely inspired me. I got like a little teary eyed at some points where you see certain initiatives and fundraising things that these different stations and networks are doing to help people out. Just to see the children who are being helped in adoption about certain things in a positive way and push people to be. And I know a lot of us have it in our hearts to be service to be of service to others. So definitely the inspirational thing. So I want to shout out to everybody who was nominated and all the winners from last night as well.

Who would you present an award to? Are you allowed to say? Yes. And the award that I did was for the large major market television station. And that award went to WFAA TV in Dallas, Texas. Tegna WFAA. And that was for adoption awareness. And so they've actually been doing this weekly segment called Wednesday's Child, where they spotlight child or sibling group that lives in foster care in hopes of finding a forever home. And so they did this also with the Celebrate the Love broadcast that was held on National Adoption Day. So they've helped thousands of kids get connected with

people who are looking to adopt. And it was amazing. And actually, a lot of people that they had on stage with them have children that they've adopted or they come from an adoptive home as well. So just to see that being promoted and the help that they've actually given to the community and to the kids and for families, that was really touching. Okay. Okay. Well, congratulations to all of them. And when we come back, we got the positive note. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.

Yeah, the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off. it's time for us to get up out of here do you have anything else before i do the positive note yee i know i'm good i'm in dc i'm headed to atlanta today and then orlando after that so we on the road okay angela is on the move um the positive note is simply this growth requires us to leave something behind. It can be habits, careers, beliefs, even people. Make space for grief in the process of growth. You have to mourn your former life to make room for a newer you. Breakfast club, bitches!
