Starting point is 00:02:51 Well, yeah, Google, I think they canceled April Fool's Day. They said they're not, usually I guess they do some stuff, but they're not doing any jokes today. Right. Yeah, I mean, it's nothing that you could possibly do. I think that could go over well. Nah. Right? No jokes today. that could go over well. Nah. Right?
Starting point is 00:03:05 No jokes today. Nah. Nothing's funny. Nah. I think Donald Trump gonna try to get one off, though. Think so? Yeah, I was thinking
Starting point is 00:03:14 about that last night. Like, he might just come out and be like, all right, everything's over. We were just joking. This is just a long, elaborate joke. But, no,
Starting point is 00:03:23 that's not gonna happen. I don't know. Well, yesterday I went to a Broadway basement play. Me and the wife, we got dressed up and we went out last night. It was the Basement Theater Presents the Casey Family Show. My kids put on a comedy, magic, dancing, and singing show. So it was pretty entertaining.
Starting point is 00:03:42 It went on for about 40 minutes, 45 minutes. They had different parts. They were singing. They were telling jokes. Taylor, one of our producers, would have loved their knock-knock jokes. And it was pretty entertaining. It was pretty good. We had a great night in the basement.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Did you stream it? No, we didn't stream it. But we just enjoyed it. We just sat back and relaxed and just really enjoyed the show and see how talented my kids are when it comes to singing, being a magician, and dancing. It was pretty fun. Who was the magician?
Starting point is 00:04:12 London was the magician. They put together boxes so that, like, they put the sheet up in front of themselves and then dropped the sheet and then they were gone, hidden in the boxes. And then one time she jumped in a box and then popped out and then she had a full dress on, like, fully dressed up with a tiara in her hair. But it was pretty good.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Jackson did the dancing and singing. Logan did a magic trick. And Madison, she was just the curator of everything. So it was pretty cool. Pretty cool. What did you guys do? Anything? I had kind of a productive day yesterday.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Okay, what'd you do? Yeah, I'm getting some things done, some initiatives that I'm going to help work on for small businesses. So I'm really excited about that. I think we announced that today. So, yes, I'll be posting about that so people can apply to win this, to get this money. And I guess I can't say too much about it yet, but later on today we'll have more information about that. And then I know in New York, the small business services,
Starting point is 00:05:11 they have some initiatives that they're doing. They're putting that out on Friday and it's a paycheck protection program. So I've been trying to figure out other things I can do just to kind of help out. Okay. All right. And Charlamagne, how was club home? Club bed, what you do? Anything? I ain't do a goddamn thing, okay?
Starting point is 00:05:30 I am the host of Coachella, Couchella at this point, all right? I mean, it's, it's, it's, I'm not going to sit here and try to fake productive. Like, I don't, I feel like I do any other time. Like, because I'm a homebody anyway. I'm a cancer,
Starting point is 00:05:41 so I like to be at the crib. You know what I mean? So for me, this is, this is actually kind of great. I'm not evenbody anyway. I'm a cancer, so I like to be at the crib. You know what I mean? So for me, this is actually kind of great. I'm not even going to lie to you. This is actually kind of great. I feel for my children more than anybody. What do you mean? Do you do something different with the kids every day so they just don't feel stir crazy?
Starting point is 00:06:00 No. Or is it they just got to get in where they're fitting? This is regular. This is what we do. We eat dinner together all the time. We eat lunch together all the time. We talk. We laugh.
Starting point is 00:06:09 We joke all of the time. You know, we read books together. Like, this is a regular day in my life. This whole past two weeks has been a regular day in my life. But that's because I'm a cancer and I'm a homebody. So I don't have to be out and about being fake busy. Yeah, my kids usually go to school from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. And that's why I said I feel bad for the kids more than anything.
Starting point is 00:06:32 I feel bad for the kids because, like, you know, especially my oldest daughter because she has a lot of extracurricular activities, especially, you know, cheerleading. And, you know, just going to school and being social with her friends is a great thing for them. And that's not able to happen right now. Other than that, no.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Okay. Alright, well let's get the show cracking. Questlove will be joining us next hour. Of course, Questlove from the legendary... How is he joining us? Phone line, sir. Phone line. Day and age, she'll be joining us on the phone. Yes, the way everybody's been doing it on the news. That's actually an old day and age.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Remember back in the day when you used to do radio and it was all phoners? Yeah, now we're back to that. You're back to phoners? Yep. Okay. And we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, we'll give you an update, of course, on what's happening with coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:07:19 And there's a lot of misinformation out there. So we'll talk about one myth that was going around yesterday that Dr. Fauci dispelled. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:07:34 We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with coronavirus. Right now, we are over 860,000 global cases of coronavirus. There's only one state in the United States that has not yet reported a death from coronavirus, and that one state is Wyoming. Hawaii reported their first death from coronavirus. So right now, Wyoming is the only place that has not seen a fatality. Now, Donald Trump is also warning that it's going to be a very painful two weeks coming up.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I want every American to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead. We're going to go through a very tough two weeks. And then hopefully, as the experts are predicting, as I think a lot of us are predicting after having studied it so hard, you're going to start seeing some real light at the end of the tunnel. I wonder how much harder can those two weeks be than the last two weeks we saw. I guess with more cases, more deaths. Of course. And Dr. Fauci is also dispelling this myth that was going around yesterday.
Starting point is 00:08:37 It's not a myth, but it's very misleading, as he said. Now, people were talking about coronavirus, and there was research that said that coronavirus can travel 27 feet. So the six feet of social distancing won't matter. Here's what he said about that. This could really be terribly misleading, John. What it was, was looking at the distance that droplets by by speaking, by coughing, by sneezing. So if you go way back and go, achoo, you might get 27 feet. But so when you see somebody do that, get out of the way.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Right. I wish these people would just say they really don't know. Like there's no need to even, you know, say that he's dispelling that theory because they really don't know. He basically said if you sneeze hard it can go 27 feet but most people don't sneeze that way. He said you have to lean your head back and then thrust your head forward at the
Starting point is 00:09:34 same time and then it might go 27 feet. And he said it's just not practical. He's just basically basing that off the way people sneeze. But that don't mean that it's not possible that that can't happen. I just wish they would say they don't know. Because every day is something new about this virus.
Starting point is 00:09:51 And today is also Census Day, by the way, just so you guys know. And it's very important that people fill out their census. And you can fill out your census online. So this determines, and it happens every 10 years only, it determines how many representatives each state gets in Congress, how billions of dollars in federal funding gets spent, schools, roads, other important things in your community will either get or lose funding
Starting point is 00:10:11 over the next 10 years based on your population. So that's why it's a very big deal for you to fill out your census. So for everybody who got those census forms in the mail, or if you want to go online and go ahead and do that, please make sure you fill out your census. Today is that day, all right? A lot of people are still in the census.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Yeah, especially immigrants. Yep, they don't want to fill it out because they feel like that'll be used against them. And I ain't confronting, I can understand it. Yeah, just lie and say you're white on the census and they'll probably improve your neighborhoods immediately. Your neighborhood will probably get more funding. And Chris Cuomo, CNN host Chris Cuomo, has tested positive for coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:10:49 And here's what he had to say about that revelation. If you need a death toll, you will get it every day and it will frighten you. My suggestion, don't get caught in the numbers. Why? They're just scary and they're out of context. We do not have the testing data to make real sense of our reality beyond what we know is the face of it for an overwhelming number who gets sick. And that face is mine. I tested positive.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Scary. Yes, but better me than you. My concern is what I may have put on my family. See, I don't even that even that even that is like, like, uh, didn't sound right. Cause it's just like, he says, don't pay attention to the numbers. Don't pay attention to that. He said the death toll will scare you, but don't pay attention to the numbers. You know, uh, when he said they, they, they're not always accurate.
Starting point is 00:11:35 I'm like either people dying or they're not like, I don't get it. Yeah. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Thank you, miss. Alright well that is your front page news Alright thank you Miss Ye And I am scared by the numbers Because I really feel like there's more people that have it And more people dying than they actually are saying Because I don't necessarily think they absolutely know yet
Starting point is 00:11:55 You know as they're testing more and more people More and more people are having it So yes I am scared and concerned with the numbers I am Well Louisiana had their worst day yesterday They had 1200 new cases According to officials, and more than 50 deaths. I mean, yeah. And, you know, they also had Mardi Gras from, what, January 6th to February 25th.
Starting point is 00:12:15 You know, and at the time, people didn't know that a lot of people, you know, had it. It wasn't a global pandemic quite yet. So it's just like, I saw them being upset at the, I think the mayor said she should have canceled it. And I'm like, how, she was like, how would I know I was supposed to cancel it? And that's real. How was she supposed to know?
Starting point is 00:12:32 All right, well, that is your front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Starting point is 00:14:59 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,

Starting point is 00:15:53 We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey, what's your name, bro? Hello. Money-making Mitch, how y'all doing? Money-making Mitch, you ain't making no money right now. You ain't making no money in a recession.
Starting point is 00:16:07 You crazy. Cut it out, Charlemagne. How you making money? Tell me how you making money. By giving proper advice on how people should be really clean in their house. That's enough money for me to educate these people. Oh, you finessing. Of course. If you really, really, really want to kill this coronavirus, all hospitals and everybody's home, just start from sterilization room. Start from the bathroom, then work your way out. Everything you use in the bathroom, you can use around the whole apartment.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Every hospital that's scared, they have training. Sterility is important. So if you just expand your sterilization department and make the whole hospital sterile, then everything, every item, every equipment, every instrument can actually be used properly. All these numbers... Money-making Mitch, let me ask you a question. People actually paying for this advice? Of course they are.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Cleaning the bathroom? Cleaning your bathroom, actually... I agree that you have to do sterilization, but you do know that it's transmitted from person to person, right? Exactly, but it depends on how many people are in your house and do you have a team that's doing sterilization. This is a family. This isn't people from next door coming into my house.
Starting point is 00:17:16 How are you making money off this? Yeah, I'm confused. How do you make money? Oh, you're talking about financial money. I don't need financial money. I don't need financial money. I don't need no finances. I'm fine financially. What other money is there?
Starting point is 00:17:28 Yeah, my money's there, but financially I'm fine. But the other money is, the other important money is information. Knowledge is power. Yeah, correct. Knowledge is currency. You mean, I get what you're saying. You know, so that right there alone, I'm saving lives by telling people. I served in the military 17 years as a medical officer.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I've done all forms of surgery. I've been in so many different situations, and we treat every patient. Now, this is the coronavirus. We treat every patient as if they were HIV. Now we have to treat every patient as if they have HIV, corona, and all these other symptoms. That's pretty dope because now you have to stay on top of sterility for the rest of your life. You understand?
Starting point is 00:18:11 No. This should be an awakening call. Well, thank you, brother, for calling, man. I don't understand, but, you know, to each his own. You talking about that type of money? You talking about financial money? What other money is there? He meant currency, that's all.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Oh, currency. Hello, who's all. Oh, currency. Hello, who's this? Hi, guys. It's Maribel, one of the Kelly girls. Hey, one of the Kelly girls. How are you, Maribel? Good. Uh-huh, guys. It's been a while. Thanks for taking my call today.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Not getting, uh, what's it called? I've been waiting and no one's been taking my call. How are you, first of all? How are you and the Kelly girl quarantining? It's terrible. I'm bored out of my mind. We're bored out of our mind.
Starting point is 00:18:53 We haven't been to work in about like a week and a half. Okay, but you guys are quarantining together, right? Yeah, we are. Okay. And I mean, my sister's keeping up with school, and I'm just kind of doing my own thing, kind of trying to figure out life.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Just floating. This is a good time to figure out life, though. This is a great time to figure out life. It is. And that's been on my head. Like, it's just been trying to figure out life. But it's fine. That's good, baby. And we's been on my head. Like, it's just been trying to figure out life. But it's fine. Oh, that's good, baby.
Starting point is 00:19:29 And we're glad you're safe. Y'all can stay healthy, all right? Yeah. Oh, shout out to Dante on Top Flight Security. Top Flight Security. Tell him salute. We appreciate him. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Brittany. Hey, Brittany. Brittany, get it off your chest. So, today I'm going to get off my chest. I feel like everybody is overly praising Andrew Cuomo, the governor. I don't feel like what he's doing is extremely productive.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Yes, he's building hospitals for us and stuff like that. But to me, it's entertaining the pandemic. What are we doing to stop it? I feel like New York City needs to be shut down indefinitely. Like, yeah, you're building hospitals, you're bringing a ship here, but what are you doing to stop it, you know? I feel like he's not closing
Starting point is 00:20:32 the city indefinitely, I don't know, for money reasons or whatever the case may be, but as long as this city is open, it's going to spread. I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying. You know why they're praising him, though? They're praising him because of the lack of leadership that has been shown on the Democratic side, especially from the presidential candidates.
Starting point is 00:20:50 And when you have Donald Trump talking every day, Cuomo kind of, he doesn't kind of, he does give counter-programming to that every day. So it's just good to see another, hear another side to the situation. That's all. I agree, too, a little bit. But I also feel like I'm also learning a lesson through this. Like, with Trump, I feel like because he's done so much crazy stuff in the past, he's doing okay.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Like, that kid act is very beneficial. And I feel like if a Democrat was in office, that wouldn't have got signed. Let's be honest. And I feel like the stimulus package is so good. Even though we're only getting $1,000 dollars he's not getting a lot of praise for it because people just don't like trump like at all i'm not a trump supporter but i'll i'll be a realist and be like wow that was good what he did you know what i'm saying what you just said is exactly why it was so important for joe biden who's the democratic front runner to be in front of people's face every day offering counterprogramming to Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Because that is exactly. But that's what's becoming the consensus. Now, the consensus is you hear you see Donald Trump all the time. You hear him all the time. He looks like he's in charge. He gave out this two trillion dollar package. People got money in their pocket. At least he's attempting to do something. That's why I kept telling them stupid ass people that Joe Biden needed to be out there every day offering counterprogramming.
Starting point is 00:22:10 And he didn't do that. And now, you know, I haven't even seen Joe Biden. I haven't seen him on TV. The last time I saw him, he was at D-Nice's quarantine party. I just saw him the other day, but it's like they keep showing all the mistakes that he's making when he's talking. They keep being like, again, Joe Biden messes up or, you know, so it's not looking good. Well, he's broadcasting from his house and he can't work the equipment. You got to think he's quarantining.
Starting point is 00:22:33 So he can't work like the Wi-Fi equipment and stuff. Goodness gracious. All right. Hello. Who's this? Yeah. What's up, Envy? What's up, Trav?
Starting point is 00:22:42 What's up? What's up about your loss, Trav? Oh, my God, Trav. Are you okay? Oh, darling, I'm not goingv! Oh my God, Trav, are you okay? Nah, I'm not gonna lie. I've been like super, super sad, man. Super, super sad. But rest in peace to Cardi.
Starting point is 00:22:52 You know, Cardi Yancey. Cardi's dog. Did they count your doll in the coronavirus death toll? I don't like super sad, sorry. I just asked a question. Have a little bit of empathy for him he lost his dog he loves his pet

Oh, what'd you think? Yeah, really good movie. Definitely the deeper meaning is about classism. Yeah, it's about capitalism. And did you understand the ending? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:37 I actually really enjoyed the movie. Char, I'm going to tell you, you got it like backward. Like Joe Exotic wasn't the one sleeping around with the tiger. It was Carol that was sleeping with the tiger. You think Carol was sleeping with the tiger? You think so? Interesting. All right, y'all.

So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High.

Starting point is 00:26:08 It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.
Starting point is 00:26:57 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. This is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Tory Lanez.
Starting point is 00:27:28 This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Yes, Tory Lanez's quarantine radio is still going strong. And according to multiple reports and to Tory Lanez himself, this latest one yesterday actually broke all kinds of records. Listen to what he said. We officially just broke the Taylor Swift record for 156,000 people live on her live. So he's saying he has the most Instagram live viewers at one time with 310,000 people at the same time. I cannot verify nor deny whether or not that is true, but people are saying, you know, previously it was Taylor Swift. It was D-Nice. Now Tory Lanez
Starting point is 00:28:12 is saying it's him. Now he also had Drake on yesterday as well as French Montana. He's had Chris Brown on with Khalifa. Of course he's had the strippers on. So here's what happened with him questioning Drake about this whole being in quarantine and being around Kevin Durant, who had tested positive for coronavirus. We know that you were around Kevin Durant when he caught the corona. What were you doing to stay corona free at that time? Honestly, a glass of wine keeps the rona away, boys. Now, don't y'all run with that misinformation. Wine is good for you. Honestly, a glass of wine keeps the Rona away, boys. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Now, don't y'all run with that misinformation. Wine is good for you. A glass of red wine is good for you today, but it's not a cure for coronavirus. Not at all. I don't want any kids running around out there saying, hey, wine cures the coronavirus. That's not the way this works, people. Not at all. And speaking of Kevin Durant. And he broke the record because of Drake, though.
Starting point is 00:29:05 He broke the record for IG Live because of Drake. When Drake got on, that's when it shot up. Now, let's talk about Kevin Durant since we're talking about the NBA not happening right now. So what are they going to do? Well, they are going to do this NBA 2K20 charity tournament, and that is
Starting point is 00:29:22 to raise money in the midst of all this coronavirus, this whole situation. So what's going to happen is there's going to be a single elimination Xbox One tournament that's going to run through to April 11th. And whoever wins with all these NBA players will get $100,000 to give to a charity in support of coronavirus relief efforts. So right now, Kevin Durant is a top seed. Also Trey Young, Donovan Mitchell, Devin Booker, Andre Drummond. There'll be a lot of people participating,
Starting point is 00:29:50 a lot of big names participating in this NBA 2K20 tournament. I think about Kevin Durant every day because being that I haven't had a haircut in a couple of weeks and, you know, like my hair grows, it looks just like Kevin Durant. Like I've been begging my wife to order me a soft bristle brush.
Starting point is 00:30:06 And she's going to tell me, you just happy you got some hair on your head. I need a soft bristle brush, Brad. You get it bald. Why don't you just cut it? Have your wife cut your hair. No. She don't know how to cut hair. Why would I do that?
Starting point is 00:30:16 And I don't know how to cut hair. So why would I do that? It's bald. Cut your toupee. Have you touched your trap toupee? No. I saw you yesterday. You got a flat top.
Starting point is 00:30:25 All right. Now let's get back to Joe Exotic, guys. Out here looking like you want to be kid in house party. Yesterday, they put out some footage of Joe Exotic. And what he's doing on here is it's from one of his old broadcasts. And they're showing him talking about why he's mad that he can't use the N-word. What's going on here in this country? It's absolutely pathetic i can't say the n-word but you can get on youtube and watch any black man's rap video and they're calling
Starting point is 00:30:52 each other the n-word what the hell is this discrimination i'm white i can't say the n-word and i can't so is it discrimination that he's white and he can't say it and they can come on it's not discrimination i hope you're being sarcastic. It's clearly not discrimination. Of course I'm being sarcastic. But I understand what he means, though, because I can see where it's confusing if you love hip-hop and your favorite record
Starting point is 00:31:15 has the N-word in it, you know? People say it to themselves all the time when they sing along to records, though. Yeah, but I can see where it's confusing, especially when you have brothers and sisters saying it's a term of endearment. That's why we all just need to stop using the N-word. It's hard.
Starting point is 00:31:30 I can't do it, but, you know, we should. It would be the right thing to do. I mean, but we've been saying that for years now. I know, man. It's just so hard when niggas be out here nigging. See? All right, now, Carol from Tiger King, in the meantime, is saying that she is a victim
Starting point is 00:31:45 and netflix is tiger king and she's saying she did not put her husband in a meat grinder she wants to make sure people know that and she was hoping when this first came out that the film would raise awareness but now she's saying that uh she's been getting death threats herself and that joe exotic has been trying to get his minions to kill her since 2009 she said he was constantly going on his Internet show saying that he has to get rid of me. It was very disturbing. The kinds of people who back up what he does are not stable people. It would be one thing if he went out to mainstream America, but he was going out to a group of whack jobs. That is according to Carol.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Now, Kim Kardashian had also tweeted out, wow, the amount of texts I've gotten about Tiger King since I tweeted about it all have mentioned their belief that Carol killed her husband. What are your thoughts? Do you think that Carol killed him? And so I guess all of this is not good for Carol right now, especially because they're asking for more information into the disappearance of her first husband. So authorities are confirming now that they are looking for more information, trying to figure out what happened there. So this might not end well for Carol. I just be shocked that they got looking for more information, trying to figure out what happened there. So this might not end well for Carol. I'd just be shocked that they got Wi-Fi. When I look at them, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:32:49 damn, they got internet shows and all kinds of stuff. Like, they don't look like they got no Wi-Fi. Not at all. They're making millions of dollars. And then they also were hiring. Are you talking about during that time? Oh, you think the animal sanctuary was making millions? Yeah. Carol was definitely
Starting point is 00:33:08 making millions. Yeah, well. Because they were breeding tigers and selling them and everything for a profit. But millions, ye? Yeah, absolutely. And Carol definitely has millions. That's how she was able to do what she did. And let's not forget, Joe Exotic
Starting point is 00:33:23 spent like a million dollars trying to bring Carol down and then he got sued by her and had to pay her a million dollars. Yeah, so I guess they did have some bread. They definitely did. There's a lot of money in exotic animals, guys. That was the whole point of why they even started doing this in the first place. I believe it's money, but I didn't know they were
Starting point is 00:33:39 millionaires. Yeah, absolutely. Alright, well I'm answering you. I know they said that Joe Exotic had got like a quarter million dollars from his granddad when his granddad passed away or something. Yeah, and think about all the acres of land that they had to have and, you know. And then even Joe Exotic hiring somebody to document everything and then
Starting point is 00:33:55 building that whole shed that they had for all the equipment and all of that. That was a big business. People paying to come and take tours. Yeah, I guess you're right. But how much is acreage in South Carolina if you buy 30, 40 acres in South Carolina, Charlemagne? 30, 40 acres? Hmm. That'll cost you a pretty penny.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Back then, I don't know how much it is back then. Back now, an acre might be, I don't know. I'm not good with math. And just imagine they're breeding these tigers to sell to people also. Because people were buying them. I can tell you that eight acres cost about 125. Eight acres. Right now.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Yes. Okay. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee. And that is your rumor report. All right. When we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yee?
Starting point is 00:34:44 Yeah. Speaking of all these millions of dollars, we'll tell you who has collectively come together to donate over $35 million to COVID-19 relief. All right, and also Questlove will be joining us next hour, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:34:58 All right. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with NFL owners, players, and clubs have collectively donated over $35 million,
Starting point is 00:35:15 and that is for coronavirus relief. So the organizations that they are giving donations to include the American Red Cross, the Bob Woodruff Foundation, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Gen Youth Foundation, Meals on Wheels, Salvation Army, United Way, Wounded Warrior Project, just a lot of different organizations that they have been donating that over $35 million
Starting point is 00:35:36 to. That's beautiful. I did that yesterday. Yesterday I was in the giving spirit and I did give out a couple of donations to a couple of people doing some great things for coronavirus relief. Right now, coronavirus cases have topped over 860,000 globally and they are saying over 42,000 deaths. And at least 80 percent of Americans right now are under stay at home orders, just so you know. So you do have to
Starting point is 00:36:05 stay at home for more than 80% of the people here in the United States. Now, Donald Trump is saying the next couple of weeks could be even worse. I want every American to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead. We're going to go through a very tough two weeks. And then hopefully, as the experts are predicting, as I think a lot of us are predicting after having studied it so hard, you're going to start seeing some real light at the end of the tunnel. I mean, I don't see people staying in, though. Even when I have to go to the store, I have to make a run, there are a lot of people on the road. There are a lot of people still out and about.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Yeah, I hate to say it, but they just got to reinforce these laws a little bit stronger. Like, they do have to start fining people if people are out. They do have to threaten fining people if people are out. They do have to threaten to throw people in jail. They do have to enforce this stay-at-home thing a little bit stronger, at least for the next two weeks, because if that's what they're saying is going to flatten this curve, that's what we need to do.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Alright, now today is also Census Day and you guys have to fill out your census. That happens only every 10 years. And that's how they determine how many representatives that each state gets in Congress, how the money is spent in federal funding, schools, roads, other important things.
Starting point is 00:37:12 There is not a citizenship question on the census, by the way. So for people that are saying, oh, people who aren't citizens are scared, da-da-da-da-da, there is no citizenship question on the census. So if you have that U.S. Census form, you can also fill it out online. So you don't even have to touch your mail. That's so scary to me, man, to tell people how many people in your house.
Starting point is 00:37:31 I know for immigrants, I would be I definitely would feel like there's no citizenship question. I know. Yeah, but if there's a race, if there's a race question, I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure that they'll start. I'm just saying you could get on the radar, you know, based on what your race is. And I'm sure you look at areas. What do you mean what? Areas. But it's not. So depending on your race, that doesn't have to do with if you're a citizen or not.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Yeah, but I can see them targeting you. It's like they target us about race any other time. It's profiling. You know what I'm saying? So if you live in a certain area and you say you're Hispanic or something like that, I can see them, you know, putting you on the radar. Or go, you know, let's go look and see what's going on a little bit deeper over there. Easily. But I think it's
Starting point is 00:38:11 important because we complain about, you know, money going to certain areas, and if you're underrepresented, then you get less dollars and yet less people representing you in Congress. But can they guess why you gotta lie and say you're white on the census. Well,
Starting point is 00:38:26 can you guarantee that they're not going to give that information to ICE? Because there's certain, you know, certain people live in certain areas. So if there's no, it's not asking if you're a citizen or not. So I don't understand, but,
Starting point is 00:38:38 but if I'm not a citizen, am I going to put this five people living in this house? No, I'm not. Just because there's five people doesn't this house? No, I'm not. Just because there's five people doesn't mean... But anyway, the thing is, I don't want to discourage people to not fill out the census form.
Starting point is 00:38:51 They said they don't ask you about your race. No, they don't ask you about your citizenship. But they ask you about your race. Yes. I'm not... Hell no. Nope. I'm sorry. So you're telling people don't fill out the census form. I'm just saying I'm scared. Our country can't guarantee that they're not giving that information to ICE and to make sure they're not checking up on my family
Starting point is 00:39:09 I would be nervous and scared if I was an immigrant Yes I would That's what I'm saying Alright I'm Angela Yee and that is your Front Page News I mean this has been going on for years You can read plenty of articles About millions of Americans changing their racial Or ethnic identity on the census.
Starting point is 00:39:26 They change it. You know what I mean? A lot of people that are Hispanic origin do change it for those exact reasons. Absolutely. Because they're afraid. Can you believe this country? The same president that said wear a scarf and you'll be okay? I'm supposed to believe what he says?
Starting point is 00:39:38 The same president that said, oh, it'll be nothing. It's just something small. That president? Nah. So you're saying don't fill out the census. I'm saying what I would do, what Rashawn Casey would do if I was an immigrant. You can see why people are afraid. I get what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:39:51 You're just saying you can see why people are. I think we need a person who's an expert on this to speak about it. But, you know, I do think it's important for you to be represented. Like you want to make sure that your area is represented by the amount of people, because that's how they figure out how much funding you're getting and how many representatives you get in Congress. You should definitely fill out your census form, but I can absolutely see why if you're of Hispanic heritage, you would be afraid. All right, I'm Angela Gee, and that is your Front Page News. All right, when we come back, Questlove will be joining us.
Starting point is 00:40:22 We'll kick it with Questlove who'll be on the phone line, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. On the phone line
Starting point is 00:40:37 right now from the legendary Roots crew, we have Questlove. What's up, brother? Questlove. We haven't done a radio phone-er in so long. I'm right now in my office. Charlemagne's in his basement and he's at the crib. Yo, this, I mean,
Starting point is 00:40:54 this might be the new, even when this is over, you know, I'm speaking out positivity. When this will be over, this might be our new reality. Like, you know. Yeah. I hope not, dog doll i can't believe that virtual djing has done more for my life than actual djing you know really quest oh dude this is this is this is i mean we we were there in the first place we just didn't want to admit it because i mean even Because, I mean, even when you go to concerts and go to events, like, what's the main common denominator of each of these events?
Starting point is 00:41:31 Everyone's still on their phones. Yeah, looking through their phones. Yeah. And so, you know, what I've learned early, like, once I saw D-Night sort of paved the way, I realized, like, you gotta get there early before, you know, carve out your ground ahead of time. But yeah, I mean, this is
Starting point is 00:41:53 this is gonna be the new normal even when this epidemic is over. This will still be the new normal. Do you think it's the art of DJing or the music that has the healing powers? Or is it a combination of both? What do you think?
Starting point is 00:42:10 For me, I'm learning it's the music. Because the thing is that I'm a cat with really, not without sounding pretentious, more of a wider palate. So I'm more eccentric in my dj like even when i was djing in the normal sense of the word like i would take risks like i'm the guy that will try and figure out like how to sneak in a kermit the frog song with little yadi you know what i'm saying in the first place um now i'm just slowly realizing the power that I have now that I'm doing more experiments than ever
Starting point is 00:42:51 now that I have a captive audience that really doesn't have much options left. Yeah, and so it's actually working out nice to my advantage. Are you at home, Questlove? Technically, I am. I know it sounds funny. I'm sort of upstate. I have a friend who owns like a chicken farm,
Starting point is 00:43:18 a farm with chickens on it. That don't sound funny. My brother got a chicken farm. My man Wax, he got a chicken farm. That sounds smart. You ain't got to leave the house. You know, when I'm yelling Happy New Year at the top of the year, like the last thing I expected was
Starting point is 00:43:31 to spend the first few days of spring making friends with a bunch of chickens now. They might be your safest friends right now. This has to be different for you though because as busy as you are doing all the things you've been doing, performances, tours, you know, the Late Show, all of that, the Tonight Show, this has to be really different for you
Starting point is 00:43:55 to actually be sitting still. You know, it's weird. Technically, this is much needed rest I've been dying for. But on the other hand, it's like I've been busier than ever. Like, I still have a movie to edit. I still have a book to write. And, you know, with DJing, I'm like raising a whole bunch of money. Like, you know, corporations and whatnot are hiring me.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I'm using my services so I can raise money for the New York food bank so that these, uh, so, uh, these, these kids that I sponsor can still have their meals because a lot of our, uh, kids in the city, they depend on high like elementary school and middle school meals to feed and sustain them. So if anything, this is like the most rest I've ever gotten in my adult life. But also, this is the most busiest I've ever been. Like, I never felt overwhelmed with the nine jobs when I was in that cycle.
Starting point is 00:45:03 But now add in like, Ooh, there's too much for me. Like my day already is like completely full. So it's not, it's not like I'm sitting at home bored. Like I think, I think this is the time that people need to explore their creativity and
Starting point is 00:45:20 really just be open to finding other things to preoccupy them. The result of this, I feel like in 10 to 15 years, the same way the last depression, the last problem that we had with the economic fallout 2008 spawned all those businesses, there should be no reason by like 2030 while like the most creative things we've ever known will be sprouted because of what we're doing right now right i agree with you you know what no question people have to they have to get over their uh their anxiety and their fear and i think once they get over that and they start leaning
Starting point is 00:46:01 into the uncertainty of it all they'll start to find solutions in this problem. And that's when they'll get to the creativity, I think. Dude, I mean, that's what my last book was about. Like I told the main, the main point of my last book was. Creative quest. Boredom is your best friend. Oh, creative quest. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:19 My last book and people used to laugh and I said, no, like boredom is your best friend. Like the most creative people in the world were bored first like chris rock would say that bullying is the best thing for creative but i think the boredom is and right now a lot of people are bored and this is where this is the time that kings are going to be made so um yeah i hate yeah i hate when people say an idle mind is the devil's playground. Why I got to be the devil's playground? Why I can't be God's playground?
Starting point is 00:46:49 You know what I'm saying? If you lean into something positive and you lean into the creativity and the talent that he's blessed us all with, why can't the idle mind be God's playground? You know, a lot of times people could be during moments of stillness. I mean, people could self-sabotage a good thing. I mean, that's still a reality of it, but that's a whole other psychological mindset. All right, we got more with Questlove.
Starting point is 00:47:12 When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We still have Questlove on the phone lines right now. Yee.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Yeah, Questlove, I wanted to ask you about your last book, Creative Quest. When's the last time that you felt like you were paralyzed by something because it struck a chord in you so much? Like you said, Dr. Dre's The Chronic, J. Dilla. But when's the last time you felt that paralysis?
Starting point is 00:47:40 Actually, when J. Dilla died, I traditionally stopped making beats, if you will. Like, I mean, I knew how to create music and I still produced like for the roots and I would do like an occasional, you know, a record for like an idol of mine. But when Dilla died, like I stopped making production altogether. So the very first thing that I did during this whole stay-at-home punishment crap that we're on right now is I taught myself how to use, you know, programs on my computer. So, you know, every day I've been practicing for two hours just making beats.
Starting point is 00:48:20 So who knows, maybe I can jump into that Timberland and Swiss beach battle. Have you been enjoying those, Quest? What did you think of those battles? The Swiss, Timberland, Hip Boy, Boy Wonder? The battle with the dream, that to me was even more entertaining. But yeah, I'm enjoying it from afar.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Would you jump into the battle? There's a lot of drummers out there. I sure that they could take you out Quest for me you know I don't participate in nothing
Starting point is 00:48:50 unless I get really get my 10,000 hours in you know that 10,000 hours equals genius I still got more practice than they do
Starting point is 00:48:58 but nah I'm down for anything I don't have any fear when it comes to creativity even failure like if I fail at something I'll take an L No, I'm down for anything. I don't have any fear when it comes to creativity. Even failure.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Like, if I fail at something, I'll take an L. But I'm going to learn from it. Who do you want to see in the battle? Who would be your dream battle? Because I saw yesterday people were saying Kanye West and Quincy Jones. I think that's a little bit disrespectful. I just think Quincy Jones is on. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:49:23 I think Quincy's on a whole other level. There should be no challenges to Quincy's on a whole nother level. Like you shouldn't even, there should be no challenges to Quincy. But who would you like to see? We live in a society where people are trying to troll people. I don't know. I mean, I hope also, I pray that
Starting point is 00:49:37 Kanye West is, I mean, he's silent. We're not hearing from him. So besides being a family man and a father, I mean, hopefully he's still fine-tuning his skills. Still, you know, I pray that's what he's doing with his time.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Who would you want to see Dr. Dre battle? You know what? I would actually like to see I would like to see Pharrell I'm trying to figure out who do I equate Pharrell to I feel like Tyler the Creator is going to be the new Pharrell so I'd like to see those two in their creative mode because Pharrell is a cat that
Starting point is 00:50:16 besides Jay Dilla and maybe Primo Pharrell is the only cat that I know that actually treats his creativity like it's a job Pharrell gets up only cat that I know that actually treats his creativity like it's a job. Like, Pharrell gets up at 6 in the morning and is already working at 7 a.m. Most musicians, like, work that night thing. But Pharrell, like, he's one of the cats that, like, will be up at 7 in the morning already working. So, I mean, I admire that. And, you know, another hustle that you got, Questlove,
Starting point is 00:50:46 that business is booming right now, the podcast business. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Somehow, you know, I got lucky using my nerd for Questlove Supreme on iHeartRadio, which, you know, is more of like, I guess you could say like my version of in the actor's studio. on iHeartRadio, which, you know, is more of like, I guess you could say like my version of in the actor's studio where I just get the nerd out and examine people's creativity. Like for me, it's more about the engine of the car than about the actual destination.
Starting point is 00:51:20 So, you know, I'm less about got you questions or anything about that. And I want to know, like, how many takes it took you to do this particular song or that sort of thing. So, yeah. I mean, on my radio, I got Questlove Supreme. Have you seen the got you questions to me?
Starting point is 00:51:41 Nah, actually, it's weird. We had Johnny Hill on a few episodes ago and I was trying to be diplomatic but he brought some smoke to Brian McKnight like the last thing I expected
Starting point is 00:51:55 he started a beef my goodness we appreciate you for checking in Quest yes and I saw Stevie Wonder checked in with you, so that was amazing when you were doing that Stevie Wonder set that you did. Dude, I'm still flabbergasted that, yeah, like the fact that he was even tuning in, I mean, that's amazing to me. That's, you know, the fact that people are tuning in,
Starting point is 00:52:20 I'm telling you, this is the new reality. I know that it's hard to fathom. So we got to make good of it. But the fact that Stevie Wonder called during my DJ set, ah, it was the best thing that ever happened. I'm waiting for Stevie to troll everybody on Instagram when you and D-Nice are on and just post, I see you, I see you, Questlove. I see you, D-Nice.
Starting point is 00:52:40 IG Live will lose it. Is that a conspiracy theory that Stevie Wonder can really see? Nah, I think he's blind. Well, you know what? I'm going to be honest with you. I think he's physically blind, but I think he sees better than the rest of us. You know what? One time I had a conversation with him when he was on our show,
Starting point is 00:52:55 The Tonight Show, and someone had brought in, like, these two scalding hot Starbucks teas and put them on the table. And the way he was navigating it, like, the teas were, like, on the them on the table. And the way he was navigating it, like the teas were like on the corner of the table. And at one point I thought they were going to fall over. And I went to like reach out. He's like, I got it. I got it.
Starting point is 00:53:16 Whoa. He could feel it. Exactly. Like he was like, I got it. I know what I'm doing. Wow. And I was like, yo, he is another
Starting point is 00:53:27 set of senses that we need to deal with right now, so. When is the night show coming back? Or is it, I mean, when y'all going back? I mean, we're doing,
Starting point is 00:53:36 we're actively doing stuff at home. I think either today or tomorrow, we're going to interview the Beastie Boys Joe Biden. on, for their new movie that they have on Apple.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Their documentary. It's almost business as usual. We're just trying to figure out how to incorporate the roots back into it with music. Yeah, we need that. I thought I heard you say you was editing a movie. Yeah, I'm doing a film called
Starting point is 00:54:04 Black Woodstock, which is essentially about this concert that happened three weeks before Woodstock with Stevie Wonder and like 40 other powerhouse acts that no one ever knew about. Yeah, doesn't get much light. But all this shit is in the basement. Gotcha. I'm directing that film right now. All right.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Well, thank you for checking in, Quest, and we appreciate your DJ sets. People don't know how hard it is to DJ that long and really in front of no active crowd, but we appreciate you, what you do, bro. Yeah, I enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Thank you. I appreciate y'all's service. Thank you, man. Stay safe for all of y'all. Stay safe. Peace, Quest. All right. Quest love.
Starting point is 00:54:44 All right. It's The Breakfast of y'all. Stay safe. Peace, Quest. All right. Quest love. All right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hello. Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy Yee. You there, right? So what, nobody's on but me?
Starting point is 00:55:00 All right, cool. Well, listen, man. I want to salute Questlove for calling in. Questlove is raising money for the food bank NYC, and I donated it to that cause. I also donated yesterday to Move Humanity Forward. I remember when Andrew Yang was on, and he was talking about his coronavirus relief fund,
Starting point is 00:55:19 and I told him that I would pledge some money to that, and I didn't get around to it because I don't know why I forgot. But yesterday when I was sitting around trying to figure out what to do with my time and how to be productive, I always say when you want to be productive and you want to, you know, when you're just sitting around,
Starting point is 00:55:37 figure out how you can make somebody else's life better. And so that's what I decided to do with my time yesterday. Yee, you're there? Oh, yes. Yeah, my line must have dropped. I didn't know. Oh, okay. Yes. What are you talking about? Well, I was sitting here talking about, you know, Questlove and what he's doing
Starting point is 00:55:54 to raise money for, you know, the kids in New York in order to, for them to eat. I think it's the, what's the name of that? Hold on, let me look it up right now. I just donated to it. I was just actually looking at it, actually. It is called the COVID-19 Food Hub NYC. That's what he was talking about a few minutes ago,
Starting point is 00:56:14 and I donated to that. And I also donated to Andrew Yang's Move Humanity Forward. Even though I told him I would do that a couple weeks ago, I just got around to doing it yesterday because I was just telling people that when you're sitting around, okay, and you're twiddling your thumbs, figure out how you could be a blessing to somebody else. And so that's what I decided to do yesterday with my time.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Yeah, I was saying yesterday, I also was having some conversations about helping out as well. That was pretty much all I did yesterday. So I think today we'll be able to announce something that will be really beneficial for small business owners. And that is for minority and women owned businesses. And there's a fund that they're actually going to be helping to give away. I'm going to be participating in that, but I'm waiting for them to give me the okay to make the announcement. But I'm really excited about that. So yeah, I think it's important while we're at home, if there's anything that we can do to help other people figure that out, you know, that's a great thing to be able to do.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Be a blessing to others. Stop worrying about you so much. You know, it's always about me, me, me, me, me, me. I'm bored. This and that. No, figure out how you can make somebody else's life better with your time. Now, we got a rumor report coming up? Yes, we are going to be talking about Kevin Hart.
Starting point is 00:57:28 And he told some stories about Jay-Z and Beyonce. You know, those are always fun. Hey, guys. I'm sorry. Lost y'all for a second. Shut up. We don't need you. All right?
Starting point is 00:57:36 We don't need you. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors, let's talk about Drake. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Alright, well this is more about an 11-year-old cancer patient, Elijah.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Now, unfortunately, Elijah did pass away, but before that happened, he did get to, quote, meet three of his favorite artists, and that is on FaceTime. Here he is talking to Drake, The Weeknd, and J. Cole. Elijah, it's J. Cole. J. Cole, Elijah. It's a pleasure to meet you, man.
Starting point is 00:58:21 I love you, bro. It's The Weeknd. Wow. So, honestly, you invited me to be one of your favorite artists, meet you, man. I love you, bro. It's the weekend. That's right. I'm so honored that you invited me to be one of your favorite artists, buddy. Thank you. Yes, sir. I love you, dude.
Starting point is 00:58:36 I appreciate that smile, sir. Thank you. I love you, buddy. Rest in peace to that young man, Elijah. Salute to J. Cole. Salute to Drake. Who else was it? It was The Weeknd. And The Weeknd. Salute to them, man. You know, when I be sitting around the house, that's what I'm constantly thinking about. Like, how can I make
Starting point is 00:58:53 somebody else's day better? So it's good that those brothers are using their quarantine time to make somebody else's day better. So salute to them. Absolutely. Elijah's cousin, Michael, is actually the one who confirmed the news on Instagram and shared those clips of Elijah's FaceTime conversations. He said, over the past three years, my 11-year-old cousin, Elijah, has battled cancer with the utmost resilience. Elijah's physical fight is now complete as he transitioned to heaven on Friday.
Starting point is 00:59:19 He didn't leave this world without knowing how much he was loved, though. So he did have that opportunity, which was amazing. Beautiful. Beautiful. All right. world without knowing how much he was loved though. So he did have that opportunity, which was amazing. Beautiful. Beautiful. All right. Now, little Wayne just did an interview with,
Starting point is 00:59:29 well, not just did it, but they just put it out with complex, the sneaker shopping video. And he's on there talking about who his favorite artist is. Damian Lillard did a bait collab with Adidas. He said, I was inspired by little Wayne by that vibe cover. Okay. Talk about that brand. It's such I was inspired by Lil Wayne by that vibe cover. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:59:45 Talk about that brand. It's such like an iconic streetwear brand. That's funny you say iconic streetwear brand because, you know, you can say streetwear, but they went there. They surpassed streetwear. With that said, I just saw on The Breakfast Club, I saw my favorite artist, Lil Baby.
Starting point is 01:00:02 I saw Lil Baby with the Babe Coach collaboration jacket. And I was like, so they doing things. They took it really far. Shout out to Baby and me. I'm going to drop on the Clues bombs for Lil Baby. Also drop on the Clues bombs for Lil Wayne knowing what the Breakfast Club is. Okay? You know, Lil Wayne said he wanted to come up.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Right before the coronavirus and everything got crazy, he hit me and said he wanted to come up. So hopefully when this is all over, said and done, he will join the Breakfast Club. He hasn't been up here yet. I'm just happy that he knows what the goddamn Breakfast Club is. You know Lil Wayne don't pay attention to nothing going on in these streets? He does. No, he doesn't. He said that himself. And DJ Jazzy Jeff, by the way, has said
Starting point is 01:00:45 that he is now good, thank God, after recovering from pneumonia in both lungs, also losing his sense of smell and taste. He said, I posted yesterday to bring awareness to how serious this is. Please look out for each other. And he did thank his wife also and asked people to
Starting point is 01:01:02 please stay at home. Why didn't he ever get a coronavirus test? Because he never he never said he had coronavirus. But why? He just said he had the symptoms. Why did he never get a test? Well, he had pneumonia in both of his lungs. He also said he lost his sense of smell, his sense of taste, which is one of the signs of coronavirus. So he didn't actually specify that he had it or didn't have it.
Starting point is 01:01:23 I don't know if he got tested or didn't get tested. Yeah, that's what I want to know. Why didn't he get tested? Yeah, that's what I want to know. Because he had to go to the doctor. He had pneumonia in his lungs and all that. All right. Now Lizzo, in the meantime, has been doing some great deeds.
Starting point is 01:01:38 And one thing that she's been doing is providing health care workers with food and meals. Here's what she had to say in her Instagram videos. Shout out to all of y'all for being so brave and working so hard and making sure that we're safe and healthy and healing people. That is incredible. You guys are heroes. And so the least I could do is just send you some lunch. I hope you guys enjoy the food. I hope it puts a smile on your face.
Starting point is 01:02:01 And I hope that you feel loved and appreciated because you really, truly are. That's great, man. And shout out to all the restaurants that are out there also, even though a lot of them are losing business and losing money, they're also doing a lot to provide food for these healthcare workers and everybody that is inspiring right now by actually giving during a time when it's not the easiest time to give. Absolutely. And salute to Questlove too. You know, he called in and he talked about the COVID-19 food hub, you know, NYC. That's another good organization that you can, you know, donate money to because they make sure that these kids eat. I donated to them as well.
Starting point is 01:02:36 So salute to everybody doing their part. Yeah, shout out to Camillo. Camillo's a DJ in New York City who has been giving hundreds of pies a day to some of the health care workers. He owns a pizzeria. I just thought that was dope. So shout out to Camillo's a DJ in New York City who has been giving hundreds of pies a day to some of the healthcare workers. He owns a pizzeria. I just thought that was dope. So shout out to Camillo. That's how you know I'm from down south because you said pie and I said, man, I would really like me a sweet potato pie right now. You're talking about God being pizza.
Starting point is 01:02:57 Pizza pie, man. Shout out to Brooklyn Chop House too because I see they've been providing free meals for all the hospital workers even though people have had to lay off staff and not making as much money. I see a lot of restaurants, their business is down. A lot of people are still trying to help out. So I think that is the true spirit of what it is for us.
Starting point is 01:03:14 Shout out to Pull and Stratus. All right. I'm Angela Yee. And that is your rumor report. Now, we did not have time to get to the Kevin Hart, Jay-Z, Beyonce story, but I promise you next hour. So don't go anywhere. Where can you go? All right. Now, Charlamagne.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Yes, sir. Who you giving that donkey to? You know, man, it's something else that's on the rise during this whole global pandemic, during this coronavirus epidemic, and the thing that is on the rise is domestic violence, so we don't need nobody encouraging that, right? So we need British boxer Billy Joe Saunders
Starting point is 01:03:44 to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. Okay. All right, we'll get to that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Don't be a donkey.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Because right now you want some real donkeys. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Deli? Absolutely. I have become Donkey of the day. At the breakfast club, bitches. You're a donkey.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Donkey of the day for Wednesday, April 1st, goes to a British boxer named Billy Joe Saunders. Now, I don't know if you all realize it, but one thing that is rising during this global pandemic is domestic violence, okay? Across the world, by the way. From Brazil to Germany, China to Greece, from Orangeburg, South Carolina to Sacramento, California, domestic violence is okay? Across the world, by the way, from Brazil to Germany, China to Greece,
Starting point is 01:04:29 from Orangeburg, South Carolina to Sacramento, California, domestic violence is on the rise because women and children who live, you know, with domestic violence abusers have no escape from their abusers during the quarantine, okay? A couple weeks ago, I know an attorney who said to me, sadly, I'm about to make a killing because I had six domestic violence calls over the weekend. And I said, damn. And he said, yeah, man, when unemployment goes up, people beat their wives. You know, you are stressed and normal everyday arguments turn to violence. Sad reality, but it's true. Well, Billy Joe Saunders either doesn't know, doesn't show or doesn't give a damn about what's going on in people's homes in regards to domestic violence because in the most tone-deaf video
Starting point is 01:05:07 I've seen in a long, long time, and that's saying a lot, being that the Trump administration is in the White House, Billy Joe Saunders decided to give a tutorial on how to properly beat your significant other. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Play the clip. Just want to make a little video
Starting point is 01:05:22 just for all you dads, husbands, if you've got girlfriends, etc. Obviously, this COVID-19 is getting very serious and we're isolated away in, you know, very tight spaces. So, right, if your old woman's giving you a little bit of mouth,
Starting point is 01:05:37 you try to be calm, cool, but after the seventh day, you're just about to explode. All of a sudden, she's coming at you now, spitting a bit of venom in your face, ready to say something, you may have left the dishes out. So as she comes in, she's just about to say something. All of a sudden, you explode. Bam! On the chin.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Yeah, so you've hit her on the chin. At this time, she may flash and see white thinking, what's just happened? Has he done it? I can't believe this. Whoa, what's happened? She's in a state of horror. And all of a sudden, you just dip down on that knee, spring up. So you finish her off. Bam. That should
Starting point is 01:06:12 do the trick. Now, you know how I keep talking about during this quarantine, you get to see the real you. Brothers don't have barbers in their Beijing blackout powders, so the hair is growing out and we get to see our hairlines, social distancing from our foreheads you see you know all the grays on people's temple you know diddy out here looking
Starting point is 01:06:31 like puff granddaddy and that's fine it's actually great that's who we are okay age is a blessing embrace it but i'm not just talking about physical i'm talking about what's really inside of you i'm talking about character see people's real you. I'm talking about character. See, people's real characters come out when they are facing adversity, okay? This quarantine, this global pandemic is a bit of adversity. William Arthur Ward once said, adversity causes some men to break, but it causes others to break records. Which are you? Albert Einstein says, adversity introduces a man to himself. Howard Schultz says in times of adversity and change, we really discover who we are and what we're made of.
Starting point is 01:07:11 Billy Joe Saunders is showing you who he is. He's an F-boy. He couldn't even do this on Today and say April Fool's. Some things you shouldn't play about. And a man beating on a woman is one of those things, especially at a time when domestic violence is going up because it is quarantine. I just read an article on ABC News where police are fearing that domestic violence cases will be on the rise. And Steve Cass Stevens, president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, said he fully believes that the longer these stay-at-home orders are in place, the more of these domestic violence calls they are going to get. Brad Garrett, a former FBI agent, says this is a perfect storm of domestic violence hazards.
Starting point is 01:07:49 The shelter in place forces couples to remain home, and the abuser will then have more power to control and abuse the victim, stating they cannot leave for fear of catching the virus. It also may make it more difficult for the abused to report domestic violence since they are constantly with the abusers. They can't even escape and run off to go call the police. Man. And if they can't escape, the shelters will have issues
Starting point is 01:08:15 because they're typically set up in dormitory settings, and that's obviously a problem with spreading the virus because you've got to have social distance. Do you understand why what Billy Joe Saunders did is such a problem? He's encouraging domestic violence, actually teaching people how to beat their significant others during a time like this. Never a good time to do that, but definitely not at a time like this.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Now, ladies, global pandemic or not, coronavirus or not, I would never encourage you to stay with an abuser. You always have a choice because coronavirus can kill you, but so can an abusive, insignificant other. And I said insignificant other for a reason because he's not significant. Okay, so yes, to me, social distancing, it starts there. If he's living with you, find a way to get that fool up out of your house. Call the police to come take him.
Starting point is 01:08:58 If you live with him, I know it seems difficult to pack up and leave at a time like this, but run. And to all the men putting their hands on women, you're not a man. Your job right now is to protect and provide for your family. And even if you can't provide financially right now, provide emotional support, mental support, because the truth is you and your lady are in this together. Don't take your hurt, frustration, and anger out on her because you got laid off. Hell, I'm sure she probably laid off too. And if she didn't, thank God that you have a queen to hold it down financially during a time like this. In the meantime, I saw the young, quote, greatest woman boxer of all time,
Starting point is 01:09:38 the undisputed woman's middleweight world champion who has unified the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO middleweight titles. I'm talking about Clarissa Shields. Drop one of the clues bombs for Clarissa Shields. I saw Clarissa post a counter to Billy Joe Saunders' video showing victims of domestic violence how to protect themselves against abusers. Let's hear what Clarissa had to say. Yeah, I saw some videos earlier about what you do to your wife or your girlfriend when she's getting on your nerves. Let's hear what Clarissa had to do. You duck, and when you duck, you hit right there. You see that, that? That's not the
Starting point is 01:10:27 stomach, ladies. That is the n***a. See, some of us like to hit on the penis. No, no, no. Aim through the penis, and that should make them hit the ground, and they can get away from them. Tutorial for all the women in abusive relationships. Dropping the clues bonds for Clarissa Shields, giving out helpful tips on how to survive during this quarantine. That is great counter-programming. Democrats can learn a thing or two from her in regards to how to properly counter-program lame-ass propaganda and rhetoric like the one that Billy Joe put out. Please let Remy Ma give British boxer Billy Joe Saunders the biggest hee-haw.
Starting point is 01:11:04 Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Now, how does this affect his career moving forward? I actually read that his license was suspended for the time being until a hearing can happen, if I'm not mistaking. Yes, his license, yes, his license has been suspended pending a hearing by the British Boxing Board
Starting point is 01:11:28 of Control. Yes, and I think he has since apologized, but nobody want to hear that right now. All right. Yeah, I saw his official statement like, come on,
Starting point is 01:11:38 why would you even think that's okay? Yeah, nothing was okay. Nothing was funny about that, but thank you for that all day today. Now, when we come back, ask Yee. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:11:48 If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee right now. She'll help you with all your problems. So hit her up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 01:12:04 We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. We got Mona on the line. Mona, good morning. Oh, I'm sorry. Hold on one second. Hey, Mona, you at work? No, I'm on my way to work.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Okay, so before we get started, where do you work, Mona? I work at a doctor's office in Dearborn, Michigan. Okay. Okay. All right, so what's going on with Ask Yee? So, basically, I've been working at this job for six years. I started off as an MA
Starting point is 01:12:31 and now I'm office manager. I'm the only black person and I'm also the youngest person. And I deal with racism quite often. I had a co-worker who said that she didn't know that the N-word was considered racist. When they buy lunch without asking me what I want, they always buy me fried chicken.
Starting point is 01:12:50 I don't even really eat fried chicken. Just comments like, I know you like rap and I don't even care for rap. Just a lot of things like that. And I'm at a point where I'm really getting tired of it and I don't know how to handle it. First of all, y'all need some diversity in that office, right? And that is something that they need to take seriously because a lot of places are having to make sure that they even have like people who work as far as helping create diversity in office environments. Because as you can see, when you don't have diversity, people think that black people are monolithic. Yeah, even though I'm the youngest person and also the office manager, so
Starting point is 01:13:26 I don't know how they would think that. Now, how do you respond when these things happen? Do you point it out and say, just so you know, just because I'm black doesn't mean I like fried chicken, or just because I'm black doesn't mean I listen to rap music all day? Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. It depends on how angry I am. Like, when she made the comment
Starting point is 01:13:41 about the N-word, she didn't know it was offensive. I basically educated her, telling her that the N-word, she didn't know it was offensive. I basically educated her, telling her that the N-word was created way back in slavery. And it was always to identify black people as being like inferior and that their words
Starting point is 01:13:56 never have been okay. Like common sense. I actually use the word common sense. And was that beneficial when you had that conversation? I'm just curious. Not really. You know what? I'm a big fan at was that beneficial when you had that conversation? I'm just curious. Not really. You know what?
Starting point is 01:14:07 I'm a big fan at work when things. What is that noise? What is that noise? Okay. I'm a big fan when things are going on at work like that to leave a paper trail. And what that means is when these incidents do happen, I would make sure that I document them. As far as sending an email out to whoever the supervisor is or whoever it is that you need to send that email to so that you have all of that documented because that way it makes people think twice about what they're doing and it makes people take things seriously. And I would
Starting point is 01:14:33 also request that we bring in somebody to do some diversity training and say, look, this is a very environment where I'm the only black person. I'm the youngest person here. And I feel like this is not representative of the people who we serve in the community. And I would put that in an email as well. But I think it's important for you to document when these things happen and to educate people, which it sucks because I wouldn't want that to have to be my job. But this is also laying down a foundation for your corporation to be even more diverse in the future. And if that means recruiting people, other black people to come and other people of color to come
Starting point is 01:15:06 and work in that office, then that's what they need to do. They need to take steps towards doing those things, right? I would think so. Because I'm personally like, I'm at a point where it's starting to turn into anger. At first it was just like, oh, that's just my ignorant coworkers.
Starting point is 01:15:20 But now it's starting to like really bother me because some stuff is just common sense. Have you spoken to a supervisor? Well, I'm the manager and it's a private practice. So like I am the supervisor. So it's like and then I've talked to my boss, like the actual doctor before. And he hasn't really done much about it. I don't.
Starting point is 01:15:43 Well, girl, it's time for you to flex your authority as the office manager, and maybe you need to take the initiative to bring in more people, more diverse staff, but also maybe it's time for you to call a meeting with everybody and be like, let's set some ground rules down here and let's go over anything
Starting point is 01:16:00 and put all these things on the table and make it mandatory for people to come. I can agree with that. I can do that. All right. I'll be very curious to hear how this turns out. I've been bothered since this whole conversation started. I'm judging you for not liking fried chicken and rap music.
Starting point is 01:16:14 Like, what the hell is wrong with you? No, I like chicken. I like chicken. Just not fried. She like the grill. I like rap, but I also like country. I also like R&B. I also like punk rock. I like rap, but I also like country. I also like R&B. I also like punk rock.
Starting point is 01:16:27 I like different things. And the problem is not that I like rap music. The problem is you don't know anything about me or my personal life to preconceive that I like those types of things. You don't want them stereotyping you is what you're saying. Right. Exactly. Don't just like basically look at me and say, oh, you're black.
Starting point is 01:16:43 This is who you are. No, I'm black. This is who you are. No, I'm black. Get us some Popeyes. That doesn't signify my personality trait. Okay. All I'm simply saying is don't miss out on the beauty of Popeyes, okay? Just because you care about what other people think of you. All right?
Starting point is 01:16:58 Somebody bring you a Popeyes chicken sandwich. You appreciate it. I get it. I'm tired of them buying me chicken. I'm tired of them buying me chicken. I don't even order chicken. I order burgers. I order fries. She's like, I'm tired of them buying me chicken. I'm tired of them buying me chicken. I don't even order chicken. I order burgers. I order fries.
Starting point is 01:17:08 She's like, I might want a salad. My goodness. I eat salad. I've never ordered chicken I once worked in. Let me ask you a question. I bet you every time you get a salad, you put grilled chicken in it. I do. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:17:21 What's your favorite country song, mama? What's your favorite country song? My favorite country song? I mean, I'm kind of like a fake country artist. I look like Taylor Swift. I consider her country. Okay, she's pop now. But, Mona, I will say this, though.
Starting point is 01:17:35 You are the manager, so I think for you, you have the power and the authority. Don't feel like you don't have the power and authority to make sure that you make certain things happen in that office. Okay. Thank you, Mama. Good luck. I want her to flex her authority up in there.
Starting point is 01:17:50 Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need advice, relationship advice, call Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:18:03 We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Good morning. Hey, what's up, bro? What's your question for Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? This is Marlon. Hey, what's up, bro? What's your question for Yee? I just really wanted to get some relationship advice this morning. Good morning to everybody, by the way. Hey, Marvin.
Starting point is 01:18:15 Good morning, good morning. Hey, how y'all doing? Just trying to figure out, you know, what's the best move. I've been with my girlfriend for about nine months, and, you know, she's pregnant with twins. And, you know, she's, you know, all of a sudden, about two months ago, just decided that, you know, she didn't want to do it anymore.
Starting point is 01:18:31 You know, it's a lot for her to take on. And, you know, it's just really frustrating for me and, like, hard for me right now, you know, dealing with all of it, you know. And we, like, haven't been talking, you know, barely. You know, and I've been, you know, reaching out and trying to do it, talk to her. She's blocking me. Like, wow. Like, you know, barely, you know, and I've been reaching out and trying to do it, talk to her. She's blocking me.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Like, wow. You know what I'm saying? If all this, now you decide, you know, this is what you want to do. You know, we pray to our twins and that kind of stuff. It's really tough for me right now, just trying to figure out what to do and how to approach the situation. Marvin, I got to ask you this. So she just all of a sudden, out of nowhere, decided she doesn't want to be with you anymore? Just all of a sudden, just out of the blue, she sat me down. She was just like, look, like we just, we need, I need some space. You know, I want to take a break.
Starting point is 01:19:13 You know, it started with a break and then that break led to, you know, like I said, it's been about two months. But this just happened, like you didn't do anything. She wasn't upset about anything. She just decided. My opinion of it, you know, my view of the relationship, to me, everything was perfect. But, yeah, she just pretty much just told me that it was just a lot she's dealing with. She didn't know if it was the hormones. She didn't know if it's just, you know,
Starting point is 01:19:36 she just felt like she needed to just take a break or what. Well, a couple of things, Marvin, I would say you do have to respect she's pregnant not with just one child, but twins. And so just mentally, I can't even imagine how that would be scary to her, especially right now with everything that's happening, right, with coronavirus. And I'm sure she's in the house on lockdown trying to make sure that she stays healthy and stays away from people.
Starting point is 01:19:58 So that's not easy in itself. She told you specifically it could be the hormones. She doesn't even know what it is, right? Yeah, exactly. And so I think right now the best thing for you to it could be the hormones. She doesn't even know what it is, right? Yeah, exactly. And so I think right now the best thing for you to do is respect the fact that this woman's body is going through a lot. And she's going through a lot with her hormones that she can't control. But then she's also going through a lot from everything that's happening right now in the world, right? Yeah, that was the biggest thing for me just like just taking into consideration that you know she is pregnant you know a lot of the women in my life have really been kind of
Starting point is 01:20:28 telling me that you know she's pregnant you have to just deal with it you know so i'm taking that into consideration and you know trying to like just figure out but for me in order to stay mentally healthy because it affects me a lot you know just throughout the day it's like it's constantly on my mind and just trying to figure out like damn like you know, just throughout the day, it's like, it's constantly on my mind, and just trying to figure out, like, damn, like, you know, just everything going so good, to now, we, like, you know, barely talking, and I, the best thing I tried to explain to her was,
Starting point is 01:20:54 you know, everything that we do, especially being that you're pregnant, like, I want to experience this with you, like, this whole experience, you know, I want to have with you, so it's just... You know, I wanted to say this, I think right now, the most important thing is for her to stay healthy and to have those babies and make sure those babies are healthy. Right. That's top priority over anything else. Right. So all you can do is be supportive of her right now.
Starting point is 01:21:17 Make sure whatever it is that she needs that you can provide that you do. If she needs some space from you, don't crowd her. Don't you know right now, just anything you can do to be supportive. If that means reaching out to her family and making sure that you stay in contact that way and making sure she's good, you know, you need to do those things and respect the fact that right now is a difficult time. And so we just want to make sure those babies are healthy. And then after that, I think you guys will really have to work more on your relationship, but let's make sure that happens first and foremost. Yeah, I think you gave the best advice, bro. Just at this time while she's pregnant, her hormones are raging.
Starting point is 01:21:50 Just let her be her. You do whatever you can to make sure she's comfortable, to make sure she's happy. Don't get into arguments. If she wants ice cream with strawberries and cornflakes, go get it. If she wants a Slurpee from 7-Eleven, go get it. I'm serious. Whatever she wants because this is a difficult time. She has two babies inside of her.
Starting point is 01:22:08 And it's the hardest time right now with coronavirus. Don't even beef with her. Don't even argue. She wins. You gotta sacrifice your own feelings just right now. Why are you sending that man to 7-Eleven to get a slushie? Because it's essential right now. He better learn how to make it at home.
Starting point is 01:22:25 That man go to 7-Eleven and catch coronavirus and bring coronavirus back to that young lady. We don't know how that affects the babies. Whatever she wants, you do, brother. There's no telling her no. Protect yourself and protect the house, King. Sending that man to 7-Eleven. All right, so good luck, though.
Starting point is 01:22:42 And look at this right now as a sacrifice for your kids. You know, you got to just sacrifice. And I know it sucks, but you have to kind of sacrifice your feelings right now just to make sure she's good no matter what. Thank you guys so much. Good luck, brother. Good luck, man. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:22:58 Yes, good luck. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, you can hit Yee. Now, we got rumors on the way. Yes, and I told you earlier we're going to talk about this Kevin Hart, Jay-Z, and Beyonce story. And let's get into it. It's a bit of a disaster because nobody wants to be sticky in the club.
Starting point is 01:23:14 All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in.
Starting point is 01:23:24 All it got. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Ye. listen up it's just in the holocaust the rumor report it's the rumor report the breakfast club yeah so kevin hart is telling some interesting stories right now another story he just recently told was about spilling pineapple juice in the club after jay-z invited him over to his section listen to this all-Star weekend, Hov and B go to the club. I go, let me go holler at Hov. I go walk over to the section. And, you know, after a long conversation, he goes, well, Kev, what you drinking? I go,
Starting point is 01:23:53 I don't care. I say, oh, let me get some of this. I'm going to mix it with the pineapple juice. I go reach my hand for the pineapple juice. Pineapple juice spills. And as I'm watching that, I look up at him. He turns around, bends down. Somebody talking in his ear. He comes back up to me.
Starting point is 01:24:08 He go, Kev, you just spilled pineapple juice all over my wife's f***ing legs and shoes. I said, get out of here. That's actually an oldie but goodie. If you're a longtime follower of Kevin Hart, he told that story before. But, I mean, come on. Here he is talking about what he actually had to do after the pineapple juice spilled all over. Guess who?
Starting point is 01:24:28 Beyonce. I look behind him. She, like, getting napkins. She's got, like, a pound of napkins, wiping everything. I feel bad, man. I reach in my pocket. I grab some money. I ball it up, and I shake Hov's hand.
Starting point is 01:24:42 I put it in his hand, and I go, look, that's the best that I can do. He's like, Kev, you ain't got to do that. I'm like, no, man, I feel like shit. I leave. I look over at Hove to see if he's looked in his hand. I could tell he did because he's shaking his head. It's a look of disgust on his face.
Starting point is 01:24:59 I gave him $20. That's all I had on me at the time. I just paid for the pineapple juice. It's a great story. That is the story you tell your grandkids. And Kevin Hart does look like a granddaddy. Kevin Hart does look like a granddaddy without that goddamn
Starting point is 01:25:14 blackout. He got the blackout now though. He didn't have the blackout for a couple weeks. Now another thing that Jay-Z did was release the unreleased version of Holy Grail with The Dream. This is on Tidal. You take the clothes off my back and I'll let you.
Starting point is 01:25:33 You steal the food right out of my mouth. And I'd want you here and I still won't know why. Why I love you so much. I just don't like that record, man. I've never liked Holy Grail. I don't know why. That's like one of my least favorite Jay-Z records. And my boy Wax used to play that song every single day when it came out.
Starting point is 01:26:00 Like when we would come into work, like every single day he loved that record. I don't like Holy Grail. No? Well, the dream was actually previewing that for people during that battle he had with Sean Garrett. So, a lot of great moments came out of that. Alright, now Jay-Z and Rihanna's foundations are coming together and they're going to be donating $1 million
Starting point is 01:26:18 to coronavirus response efforts. So, it's a special cause with the Sean Carter Foundation along with Rihanna's Clara Lionel Foundation. They're donating $1 million each for coronavirus response efforts. So that's a great thing. They're going to support undocumented workers,
Starting point is 01:26:34 the children of frontline health workers, first responders, incarcerated, elderly and homeless populations in New York City and in LA. And they're offering daycare, learning materials, food and supplies for the kids of frontline health workers and first responders also. That's great. Dropping the clothes bars for Hov and Rihanna for being leaders.
Starting point is 01:26:51 I mean, that's what you're supposed to do when you're, you know, in those positions, because, like, let's be for real, you know, people like Hov and Rihanna, they're not going to be really impacted by, you know, this situation. When this is all, they're going to be good now. When this is all said and done, they're probably going to end up being end up being better so it's just like yo be a blessing to somebody else when you when you when you're when you're blessed with abundance that's a fact now we've been we've been talking about rihanna on the cover of british vogue also another story that rihanna told in that cover story was how she actually left her grammy's performance back in 2016 in the middle
Starting point is 01:27:23 of doing her hair and makeup. And that was because of anxiety. She said her half of her lash was on. She said that despite her confident demeanor and despite her being in the spotlight for years, she still gets nervous before even getting in the car to go do something. She said it can be devastating. And so this was the 58th Grammys and she was scheduled to perform Kiss It Better. And she was nominated for eight awards at that Grammys and she canceled her performance. And, you know, they said she was also battling bronchitis at the time. So she just decided not to do it.
Starting point is 01:27:56 I respect it. Dropping the clothes bombs for Rihanna. That doesn't seem like an artist like that just never gets anxiety, just does what they do. Like it just comes so natural. But you see otherwise. Well, that's the thing about anxiety, right? You know, you have rational anxiety and you have irrational anxiety. Sometimes, you know, the rational anxiety
Starting point is 01:28:12 is knowing that you do have to go on stage and perform in front of thousands of people so you kind of accept that and you know what comes with that. But then sometimes, you know, it's the irrational that kicks in and you just start getting all these crazy-ass thoughts about what could go wrong. And I respect her for leaving because I'm the same. I'm the same way. I won't even show up. Y'all know me. All right. Now,
Starting point is 01:28:31 Kobe Bryant has a new book out today, and this is a follow up to the Wisenard series training camp, and it's called Season One.
