Yes, it's Wednesday, hump day, middle of the week. Yes, April Fool's Day.
There's no April Fool's joke that could go over well today, right?
Nope.
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?
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
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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?
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
All right, well, that is your front page news.
Get it off your chest.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt
the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection,
it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth,
gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.

So you better have the same energy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.

Cartier in him

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.
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.
All right.
Feel better, Trav.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.
Now, we got rumors on the way here.
Yeah, and since we're talking about Joe Exotic, let's talk about this footage that came out
recently that people are talking about now. And it has to do with the N-word.
All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection. It was
literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace, have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys,
like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,

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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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,
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?
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
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?
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
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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?
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ask Yee.

Good morning to everybody, by the way.
Hey, Marvin.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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. And Vanessa Bryant was promoting this book also to let people know
that it's out. So she was on her Instagram and she said, welcome back
to Dren. We hope you are all ready to catch up
with the West Bottom Badges for another
magical basketball season.
The Wiz and I series season one is
out now. So for people that want to
purchase that book, she also
provided the link for you to be able to do that.
Book business gotta be booming right
now. I know radio is up
like 20-30% but book business gotta be booming because I I know radio is up like 20-30%
But book business gotta be booming
Because I be ordering all kind of books
You know what else is booming right now?
I do a lot of Audible
The streaming services
They were talking about how the numbers are up for all streaming services right now
Because everyone's in the house
So it's crazy
That podcast
Everything where somebody's entertaining somebody
Has to be up, absolutely
I listen to a lot of Audible
I've been downloading a lot of Audible books
Well, I'm Angela Yee
And that is your Rumor Report
And buying movies
I've been buying movies like a mother
I've been watching movies
Streaming movies
But buying movies
I've been buying all types of movies
But there's so many movies
I guess there's a lot of new ones out
You know what I just bought?
The Mule
It's a movie called The Mule
So shout out to comic J. Will.
He's starring in that.
Encino from Detroit.
But they have their own independent movie that's out right now.
And I had to buy it on Vimeo.
I'm going to check that out.
All right.
And people got to stop lying when people say, oh, I watched all of Netflix.
No, you didn't.
Because I can tell you exactly.
This is what you do.
Watch Brokeback Mountain tonight.
Or watch Moonlight
and then go to all the recommendations that they give you
once you watch Brokeback Mountain or Moonlight
and go down that rabbit hole.
Moonlight is an excellent movie.
Did you see Moonlight, Envy?
Envy, did you see Moonlight?
No, I didn't see Moonlight.
Moonlight is great.
It's a really, really good movie, I will say.
Moonlight is good.
But I'm just saying, whenever somebody says that they watched all of Netflix,
tell them, put one of those two movies in and then go to the recommendations.
I bet you ain't never been to that section of Netflix.
And make sure you guys watch Uncorked, too.
Did you guys see Uncorked?
Sounds like that's in that category, but no, I haven't seen it.
No, it's not.
But Prentice, actually, this is his first movie that he's directing.
So shout out to Prentice Penny.
You know, he's been on the show before and he works on Insecure also.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Come on, man.
I got plans to watch that this weekend.
Okay.
It was really good.
And I think for anybody who wants to learn more about wine, you know, it will help you a lot.
That's something I've been wanting to do.
I don't know anything about wine.
Well, I'm going to see Ozark.
So I got to see.
I got to watch Ozark now.
That's a good one. The only reason I haven't watched
Uncooked yet, because I only drink on weekends,
and I didn't watch it last weekend, so I'm going
to drink some wine this weekend, and me and the wife
will watch Uncooked this weekend.
Okay. All right. Well, thank you for that
rumor report. When we come back to People's Choice
Mix, get your request in right now. It's the
Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. Now, shout out to Questlove
for checking in today.
Good brother, Questlove.
Questlove got a podcast on iHeartRadio
too, by the way. It's him and
my man Fonte from Little Brother.
Yeah, shout out to Questlove.
He also does this DJ thing. I'm not sure
if he does it every night or every other night or
once a week, but he was on last night and he was just playing the grooves.
Just good, mellow, chill music, man.
I loved it.
I hope that what he said is it.
Because he also has his book out right now, Creative Quest,
and then he did the music for that show, High Fidelity,
starring Zoe Kravitz that's on Hulu,
which, by the way, is another great watch if you're in the house
quarantining like us and you need some things to watch.
I hope what he said isn't true, though. I don't want the game to go all virtual. You know what I'm saying? a great watch if you're in the house quarantining like us and you need some things to watch i hope
what he said isn't true though i don't want the game to go all virtual you know what i'm saying
like i want to i want to i want to still be able to leave the house for some things i do agree with
some aspects of entertainment are just good watching from the seat of your own home and
especially with the dj and thing right like what he said is true when people go to these concerts
they're always looking through their phone. And, like, now,
nobody feels like
they're missing out.
Like, everybody is involved.
But, yeah, I just hope
that this doesn't become
a regular thing.
Nah, I don't think it will.
I mean, I think
when this is over,
I mean, nobody wants to go
to a concert and see a concert
over Zoom or over Insta Live.
Like, you want to feel the music.
You want to feel the vibe.
You want to see the reactions.
That's part of going out
to a concert.
Maybe. But this does
This does flatten the earth
A lot right
Because everybody's VIP
In a sense
Everybody got a front row seat
Yeah
So I don't know
I just
I'm just saying
I hope it doesn't
I hope the game
Just doesn't go all the way virtual
I really do
Really hope it doesn't
Like my girls are right now
In a group text
Trying to plan a girls trip
For like
At the end of the year
So I think no matter what Nothing beats like being face to face and spending time, quality time with people.
So that experience, I don't think will ever go anywhere.
Right.
All right.
You can always Google your favorite destination and all of y'all get on Zoom and gather around Jamaica.
No, we cannot.
