Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.

You guys are the coveted morning show, which I earn.
Impact in the culture.
They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that Breakfast Club.
The world's most dangerous morning show.
We in the mother, We in the house!
Good morning, USA!
Hey, fam!
What's up, ye? Guess what day it is!
Guess what day it is!
Hump Day?
That's right, it's Wednesday, Hump Day, middle of the week. Good morning. Hey, good
morning. How you feeling? I'm feeling great.
I'm alive. I'm happy. Holidays
are here. We're starting to set up for
Thanksgiving, which is next week.
Then Christmas. We're starting to do a little Christmas
shopping for the babies. So I am excited.
How about you, Yeezy? I'm
good. I actually went out last
night. Where'd you go? You know, I've been traveling a lot, so now I'm home.
I'm trying to catch up on everything.
VP Records had a Strictly the Best release party for Volume 60.
So it was a lot of performances.
You know, they did a lot for me for Angela Yee Day.
Correct.
With a lot of their performers, so I went out to go see them last night.
Also, I was on Empire last night, but I haven't seen it yet because I didn't realize it was coming on. Really? What were you doing
on Empire? I was hosting a showcase.
Okay.
Alright, well you missed that, so I'm sure people will be
talking about it. We can get a copy or clip of it
or something, right? Well, yeah, I'm sure it's available.
Okay. Alright, well I just got back. I was in
North Carolina. I see. Had to do
some work out there. Sometimes when you go to
those small towns, you really love life
a lot more. I'm going to tell you why. Is North you go to those small towns, you really love life a lot more.
I'm going to tell you why.
Is North Carolina a small town?
Well, the town I went to
in North Carolina
was very, very small.
What town were you in?
High Point.
Okay.
Now, I didn't know
that High Point
is a huge furniture town
and it's really
only packed out
in two weeks per year.
That's when they do
like the furniture showcases
and they do selling
and buying for furniture.
But I was there and like the rest, everything, all the restaurants close at like 9, like, the furniture showcases, and they do selling and buying for furniture. But I was there, and, like, the rest, everything,
all the restaurants closed at, like, 9, like, 8.30ish.
If you don't get your food by 8.30, you're finished, you're done.
So I was starving in North Carolina for a little bit.
No room service or nothing?
No room service, nothing like that.
No Uber Eats?
Nah, no beat.
Like, even when I had to take the Uber,
it was, like, a 45-minute wait for Uber just to get the car.
So it was interesting.
You know what?
That's true because we are spoiled.
Like in New York, if you call it Uber or Lyft, it comes pretty quickly.
Within 10 minutes usually.
But in other cities, even in big cities, sometimes, especially when it's early in the morning and we're trying to go to work because we have to be at work at like 5 something in the morning.
Correct.
Sometimes I ended up waiting like 20, 25 minutes for Uber.
Yeah, it's a lot,
but you really
don't really think about it
until you have to
have an Uber
and you're like,
damn, 45 minutes.
Think about this.
We didn't even used
to have Uber.
You're right.
You're absolutely right.
Or Lyft.
You're absolutely right.
Well, Tory Lanez
will be joining us
this morning.
We'll kick it with Tory Lanez.
He has a new project
out right now,
Chicks Tapes,
which is dope.
Isn't it like a part,
what is it, part five?
I think five, five. It's really which is dope. Isn't it like a part, what is it? Part five? I think five.
It's really, really dope.
Production is great. How he flipped
different songs was dope. So we'll talk to
Tory Lanez.
Front Page News, what are we talking about, Yee?
Well, we are going to be talking
about anal cancer. Those
rates are rising. Beware.
Alright. Let's get into it.
Great, great. Let's get into it. Great, great. Let's get into it.
What a way to start the show.
Anal cancer.
Okay.
Well, all right.
Front page news is next.
It's the Breakfast Slow.
Come on.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get some front page news.
Now, let's start off with some sports.
Now, Carmelo Anthony, he had his debut playing for the Trailblazers.
He wore 0-0.
Usually he wears number 7, but I think they're about to retire.
Somebody's jersey wearing this number 7, so he wore 0-0.
He shot 4 for 14.
He scored 10 points, had 4 rebounds, and 1 block.
They did lose 115-104, and they spoke to him after the game.
Also, the game is different.
Within a year, the game has changed. Within a year, the game has changed.
The physicality of the game has changed.
The way that they call the game, the way that the game is played has changed.
So you almost have to adjust again when it comes to that.
He shot four for 14.
He started off hot, though.
Made his first three, then he did pretty good.
And then I don't know if it was fatigue,
but this is his first game.
I mean, this is his first time back in over a year,
so give him some time.
I think Mello will do fine.
All right.
What else we talking about, Yee?
Well, let's talk about anal cancer.
All right.
There's cases and deaths have risen dramatically
in the United States.
They said especially among older people
and young black men.
Researchers said that trends in anal cancers
caused cases over 15 years.
They identified about 69,000 cases of anal cancer and more than 12,000 deaths during this time.
So from 2001 to 2015, they said that the most common type of anal cancer increased by 2.7% per year.
And anal cancer death rates increased by 3.1 percent per year during that
time and they said a lot of times it's caused by hpv or they're associated with hpv they also said
that hiv is a risk factor as well and other risk factors include having had cervical or vulvar
cancer having received an organ transplant organ transplant or being a current smoker
so just beware and make sure you know those symptoms.
Don't think that you just have hemorrhoids or something.
You should make sure you get checked out.
Yeah, get your butt checked out.
What else we doing, lady?
All right, Jeffrey Epstein, those jail guards
that were responsible for falsifying records,
two correctional officers,
they were supposed to be guarding sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein
the day that he died by suicide.
They have now been charged.
And the guards are Toba Noel and Michael Thomas.
They did surrender to federal authorities yesterday.
Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell, and apparently they said he hung himself.
And there were a lot of questions about how he could have died.
He was supposed to be on suicide watch the month before he died.
And they said that these security correctional officers
were supposed to be doing 30-minute checks on each inmate.
Which I don't understand.
If you're on suicide watch, you're going to check on me every 30 minutes?
Like, I can't kill myself within 30 minutes if I'm on suicide watch?
I guess, you know, the whole setup of it and everything,
you will see something at some point.
So according to federal prosecutors,
they said for large portions of their shifts that night,
both Noel and Thomas sat at their desk, browsed the Internet, moved around the common area,
and for a period of about two hours, they sat at their desk without moving and appeared to be asleep,
according to the indictment.
So that check, that 30-minute check alone, was one of the most basic and essential aspects of their job,
and they did not do that.
They did find him unresponsive with a noose around his neck at about 6.30 a.m.
And apparently they hadn't done those necessary checks from 10.30 the night of to 6.30 the next morning.
Wow.
So them two men are going to lose their jobs.
They should definitely have been lost their jobs, yeah.
All right.
Well, that's front page news.
I was hearing I think one of them is a single father.
He has three children.
So he said he's making it difficult.
He's going to fight it all the way to the end.
So we'll see what happens.
Now, get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Maybe you had a bad night, horrible night, or maybe you feel blessed, whatever it may be.
800-585-1051.
Get it off your chest.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.
I am the Supreme Leader
of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I trade my own country?
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

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.

best friend went up there, so I'm gonna pay him
for his info, for the info that he got.
If that's your best friend, you should have to pay your best friend

But it's your best friend.
I mean, I understand that,
but it's just like, it's just my thing.

Yeah, you inspired me, DJ Envy.
I recently went out
and I just formed
my LLC,

and I've taken
my first step
towards
trying to flip houses.
Okay.
So I'm really excited
about that.
That's great.
Well, congratulations, man.
How's your credit?
It's early 600.
Okay, all right.
That's not bad.
You get your credit

In Jersey.
Okay.
Okay, all right.
And there's a great app called Self that can actually help you with your credit, too.
Self, okay.
I'm going to look into that.
All right.
We're doing a seminar in New York on the 50s.
Can I flip on my website real quick?
Go ahead.
Sure.
It's flyartsandbrushes.com, and our Instagram is the same, at flyartsandbrushes.
Okay, bro.
Have a good one.
All right.
One love, guys.
And don't forget, I'm doing a seminar on the 15th.
On the 15th, right?
In New York.
You coming?
Yeah, I'll be there.
All right.
We'll be there.
Jacob Javis Center.
Yes, sir.
All right.
See you there.
Peace.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Johnny.
I have a quick question.
We had a debate at work yesterday, and it's going to sound ignorant.
Uh-oh.
But it's more towards Angela Yeast, and you're the relationship advice.
A man can cheat on their wife, and the woman will forgive him.
But if the woman cheats on her man, the man won't forgive her.
But this is talking about a woman that depends on her man, and they have kids, and she don't work at home.
What do y'all think?
So you're saying that because she's dependent on the situation, she has to think about,
okay, I got kids to take care of, where am I going to go?
Financially, I'm dependent.
So therefore, I feel kind of trapped into staying.
Yes, ma'am.
Yeah, I think it is harder for when you're in.
Look, even if it was vice versa, if it was a man in that situation and he was dependent,
it would probably be hard for him to leave also.
I know it sounds very ignorant, but a woman will forgive a man for cheating on her versus a man.
But I promise you, there's plenty of men out there that have forgiven their women for cheating.
And I think it's all circumstances, too, right?
Every circumstance is different.
So sometimes guys can understand, all right, this happened because of this.
And y'all can explain it and make those steps towards trying to rectify the situation.
Men say that they won't forgive a woman, but a lot of times they do.
They think they won't and they say they won't because of their ego.
But, you know,
there's people on this show
who have forgiven
their wives for cheating.
Yeah, Charlamagne
talked about it before.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, what's going on?
It's John.
How you doing?
John, what up?
Get it off your chest.
Hey, I had a call last weekend.
Angela, you were gracious enough
to give me some tickets
for my anniversary
for me and my wife.
Surprised my wife to come to the show.
Oh, that's right.
Did you have a good time?
I didn't make it.
Oh, you're the one that couldn't come because you had to work late or something like that?
No, so I had, well, she had to work late.
I think I was going for her.
Damn.
Ye gave you free tickets to surprise your wife and you couldn't make it.
But you said she appreciated the effort.
She definitely appreciated it.
I did.
You know, we went to Atlanta, so we were getting ready to fly to Chicago the next morning,
so I'll tell you, I got surprised about taking you to your show the night before.
Damn.
So we ended up, we still had a nice time in Atlanta and everything, and she wanted me
to thank you for the tickets, because after I didn't get a chance to take out the hotel,
it was all about surprise.
So we had to both just thank you for the tickets, and definitely appreciate it.
Okay, good.
A Chicago show was amazing. That was our last final show tickets and definitely appreciate it. Okay, good. The Chicago show was amazing.
That was our last final show, and it got wild.
Yeah, I know.
I hate I missed it, too.
But I appreciate it, though.
Oh, of course.
No problem.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning, good morning.
What's up, DJ Envy?
What's up, bro?
H-E-E.
What's up?
Charlamagne Tha God.
You, you?
This is Lenard Wallace.
What's up, bro?
Get it off your chest.
Yeah,
Envy, I mean, how do you feel about Charlamagne the guy doing
that hymns commercial? I was just doing the mind-my-business
just listening to the show this morning.
And when I heard Charlamagne the guy
promoting the hair products, I'm like, shouldn't
that be Envy? Yeah, you're right, because you have
hair. I don't put
anything in my hair. I don't have any
hair plugs. I don't have follicles, so why would I do a hair thing? But Charlamagne don't put anything in my hair. I don't have any hair plugs. I don't have follicles.
So why would I do a hair thing?
But Charlamagne don't have no hair at all.
It makes more sense.
Exactly, Angie.
That's exactly.
So I would let Envy do it.
I mean, Envy, you and I are the right candidate for it.
I mean, your hair grew back in less than two weeks from your vacation.
Right, but hey.
From your vacation.
I don't have plugs.
When did he go on vacation that he got hair?
He told me when I went to Paris.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Are you sure that's where you went?
That's exactly where I went.
Wait till you see me next week when I got dreads.
Then you're going to really answer the question yourself.
And we're going to have cornrows next week.
Thank you, bro.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
Now, we got rumors on the way, Yee?
Yes, let's talk about T.I.

Now, here's what Jada Pinkett Smith had to say about that.
Well, my next big guest is Tip and Tiny.
And, of course, he's going to address the controversy that has been swirling.
And then he and Tiny sit down and talk about how they survived in regards to their marriage.
Interesting.
I'll be tuned into that just for content's sake
because, one, I really enjoy Red Table Talk.
Two, I enjoy Clifford Harris as a personality,
so that should be entertaining.
All right, well, that'll be on Monday that comes out.
Okay.
All right, A$AP Rocky, he is going back to Sweden.
A lot of people felt like he would be not wanting to go there
after he got arrested there, but he is on a mission.
Here's what he had to say to TMZ. When I was Sweden I met so many people like myself you know and uh all of those immigrants
didn't really have the kind of support that they needed like me being a celebrity I had worldwide
coverage these these people come from countries that they don't have help and I just felt like
I wanted to give back with We're donating with this immigration,
you know, service called FARR, you know, to help a lot of immigrants get the right kind of help that they need inside. Because some people are sitting in jail for 10 months, two years,
and they never see a judge. That's dope. It wouldn't be me though. Yeah, he must like Sweden
because if I went through what he went through in Sweden, I'm not going back unless I really,
really, really like Sweden. The food got to be amazing. You know, he's a single man,
so the women got to be top notch.
There's no reason for me to be in Sweden.
There's no reason for me to go back.
Well, he's also designing uniforms for Swedish prisons.
So after he was detained earlier this year,
he told Forbes that he's doing what he can to encourage people to do better.
Why do you got to design prison uniforms?
Why do you want to look sexy in prison?
I didn't say it was going to be sexy,
but he just probably wanted to give them, I don't know.
I could donate money from here.
I'm not going to Sweden.
Why do you need fashion designers in Sweden's uniform?
They want to look fly in jail.
For who?
For themselves.
Okay, I get fly.
I used to get fly for the women.
Why do I want to get fly in prison?
I want to look as scruffy and non-appealing as possible.
Listen, clearly something
touched him while he was there.
Whoa.
Wow.
No, I'm saying.
You played too much.
You know what I'm saying?
Something touched his spirit.
Wow.
Wow.
Something touched his spirit
and he felt like giving back.
That's all.
All right.
Now, Ari Lennox is upset
that she didn't win
at the Soul Train Awards.
She was nominated
for Best Collaboration for her single Shea Butter Baby with J. Cole.
And Chris Brown and Drake did win for Best Collaboration.
So she wasn't very happy.
Chris Brown and Drake won for the Best Soul category?
Best Collaboration.
Oh, that's joint no guidance, right?
At the Soul Train Awards, yes.
And so she was upset and she went on social media and she said,
Shea Butter Baby will always be special.
You know what I realized?
People who genuinely F with me understand my frustration.
People who are self-hating haters and clearly have never given my music a chance
got the biggest problem with me always.
No one will have to worry about me complaining after this current complaint.
What I will not do is ever be this depressed again.
It's not just an award.
It wasn't any award show.
It was the Soul Train Awards.
As you can see, I'm a big fan of soul music and a huge fan of Soul Train's history.
Being snubbed was something I always expected and was definitely prepared for, just not by them.
My intent was to never shade other nominees.
I'm hurt, and I don't expect soulless haters to understand that.
Every time I wrap my mind around it, I just can't accept it.
It feels like a breakup.
I made a soulful album. I never ran from who I am. I just expected that one platform to understand that every time I wrap my mind around it, I just can't accept it. It feels like a breakup. I made a soulful album.
I never ran from who I am.
I just expected that one platform to understand that.
It takes a lot of energy to do these things,
and ultimately, this was a hard loss for me.
Man, drop one of Clues Bombs for Ari Lennox.
I respect that.
Ari.
Ari.
I respect that.
I respect the fact that Ari Lennox cares about the Soul Train Awards.
I respect the fact that she feels like that about Soul Train.
That's what I'm talking about.
You got to celebrate your blackness and celebrate black people
celebrating you. Because they always act like that
over the white awards. The Grammys and the American
Music Awards and all that stuff like that. I'm glad
to see her upset she didn't win a Soul Train Award.
Right, and that song, Shade About
a Baby, is a dope song.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean Chris Brown wasn't a dope song.
Yeah, she's just personally hurt.
I'm not saying it was not. I'm not mad at that.
Go where you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated.
She celebrated the Soul Train Awards.
I'm happy she feels that.
Although it is hard to express that on Twitter because then people get upset and start going in on you
and telling you that you're ungrateful and all kinds of things.
But she just was upset.
I salute you for that.
And she said, dear fake fans, please unfollow.
I'm not entitled.
I'm hurt.
I salute you for that, Ari.
I don't know you, but I salute you for that.
Alright, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's
your Rumor Report. Alright, when we come back, front page
news, what are we talking about? Let's talk about these public
impeachment hearings. We'll tell you what happened
on day three. Alright, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ
MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page
news.
Now, our laste, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now, last night, Carmelo Anthony was his debut as a Portland Trailblazer.
They lost.
The Pelicans beat him 115-104.
He shot four for 14 when he first started.
He looked pretty good.
He was hitting the first three shots, four shots, and then I don't know what happened.
He scored 10 points, four rebounds in one block, but it's only one game.
He's a little rusty, but guess what?
He still gave you 10 points. I'm telling you, Carm, but it's only one game. He's a little rusty, but guess what? He still gave you 10 points.
I'm telling you, Carmelo good for a 16 a game, bro.
He's wearing a double zero.
So he's not wearing a seven.
He's wearing a double zero.
But it's the first game.
He hasn't played in over a year.
So welcome back, Carmelo.
He's going to be a good addition to the Trailblazers.
I don't think he ends the season with the Trailblazers, though.
You don't think so?
No, I think somehow Melo makes his way to one of the L.A. teams.
You think so?
Yeah.
Lakers or Clippers.
Okay.
What else we can talk about, Yee?
Well, yesterday, as you know, was day three of the public hearings, the public impeachment hearings.
And the people that actually gave testimony yesterday was two people called by the Democrats,
Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, a National Security Council official who listened in on Trump's call with Zelensky,
who's a Ukraine president, and Jennifer Williams, a foreign policy advisor to Vice President
Mike Pence.
Now, the second part was devoted to two witnesses called by the Republicans, former U.S. Ambassador
to Ukraine Kurt Volker and former Trump foreign policy advisor Tim Morrison.
And you can hear what Tim Volker had to say.
No time was I aware of or knowingly took part in an effort to urge Ukraine to investigate
former Vice President Biden.
As you know from the extensive real-time documentation I have provided, Vice President Biden was
not a topic of our discussions.
I was not on the July 25th phone call between President Trump and President Zelensky.
I was not made aware of any reference to Vice President Biden or his son by President Trump
until the transcript of that call was released on September 25th, 2019.
All right.
In addition to that, Jennifer Williams talks about the phone call and confirms that as well.
On July 25th, along with several of my colleagues, I listened to a call between President Trump and President Zelensky.
I found the July 25th phone call unusual because in contrast to other presidential calls I had observed,
it involved discussion of what appeared to be a domestic political matter. All right. Now, as you know, Lieutenant Colonel
Vindman actually felt like that call was alarming. And here's what he had to say.
Without hesitation, I knew that I had to report this to the White House counsel. I had concerns
and it was my duty to report my concerns to the proper people in the chain of command.
And what was your concern?
It was inappropriate.
It was improper for the president to request and to demand an investigation into a political opponent,
especially a foreign power where there's a best dubious belief that this would be a completely impartial investigation.
You know, I watch a lot of CNN and MSNBC and they talk about these hearings,
but America is really not acting like an impeachment hearing is going on.
Like, it's really quiet for these hearings.
Like, I remember being a kid when Clinton was going through it.
It's like, this is all you heard about.
That is true.
And I have a theory for that.
I actually think it's because of what Clinton was impeached for.
Blow jobs, infidelity.
You can't say that, man. You can't say that.
You can't say that? No.
Fallatio.
Okay, fallatio.
I actually think it's because of what Clinton was
impeached for, okay? Fallatio,
infidelity, it provides better content
than just corruption. Like, let
Trump have been getting impeached for letting Russian
hookers, you know, urinate on him in the
Oval Office. This would dominate the headlines.
I'm sure.
Yeah, I don't understand what the question is even about anymore.
Because clearly, he did what they said he did.
Right?
Is there still a question about it?
I mean, you still got to go through it.
It's inappropriate.
Everybody's confirming it, even the witnesses that the Republicans are calling for.
Yeah, you still got to go through with the whole proceeding, though.
Bring all the witnesses up, all that good stuff.
All right.
All right, well, we'll keep you updated as best we can.
What did you say?
What did you say, Steve?
All I heard, Steve, is Malvin BJ.
He was like, BJ?
What?
I'm like, what?
Don't look at me and whisper that early in the morning.
We got you thinking.
Oh, here comes Steven the White Demon.
Come on, Steven.
Let it go.
I was just saying maybe people would listen if he got fellatio while he was on the
phone call. True. That would be a
headline. You're not lying.
Drop on the clues about Steven. He's right.
That would dominate the headlines. Alright, well that is
front page news. I heard Trump
getting a BJ while
asking them to aid
and holding back
the money to set Joe Biden
and his son up. Whatever the hell the situation is.
Nobody wins that job.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
Now, when we come back, Tory Lanez will be joining us.
Shout out to Tory Lanez.
He has a dope project out right now.
It's called Chick's Tapes.
He is a founding member of a club I call Trap Toupee.
Oh, my goodness.
Which is a hair club for black men.

Founding member.
No, you're not a founding member.
I'm not even in the club.
LeBron is a founding member.
LeBron and Tory James are definitely founding members of Trap 2 Pay.
Tory Lanez, not Tory James.
Who is Tory James?
I don't know.
Trap 2 Pay.
My goodness.
Tory James is who he was before he got here.
All right. Tory Lanez, when we come back, is The Breakfast Clubrap toupee. My goodness. Tory James is who he was before he got here. All right.
Tory, ladies, when we come back, it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this. It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tried my country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up
their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.

pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout?
Well, that's when the real magic happens.
So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire,

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. Aliciaicia keys like you've never heard her before listen to on purpose

morning everybody it's dj mv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club
we got a special guest in the building yes sir tory lane yeah man what's up man you want to
start with the bulls**t or no no i know he's just got a bunch of bulls**t.
No, no, no.
The first thing I want to say to Tory is people can say a lot of s**t about Tory,
but they can't say you don't know how to make good music.
Thank you.
To say five is really dope.
No, it's really, really dope.
It's really, really dope.
From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate that.
I can tell you were raised on the mixtape game.
That just reminded me of the mixtape game.
Thank you so much.
The feeling, the energy.
What does it mean to you though?
Because I mean,
the series played such a vital role
in your career.
So what does doing it like this mean to you?
It's like it was always hard
to clear, you know, the album.
And so like,
and we never thought
that we would ever clear the album.
And even when we did the other albums,
we always said to ourselves like,
yo, imagine one day
we get the real artist but
that's not gonna happen so the fact that it actually happened happened and it was cleared
was like yeah i can't even i'm it's like a loss of words it's not even a a describable feeling
what was the budget though for this thing i mean it wasn't as much as you think uh you know the
label didn't really want to you know it wasn't really the most feasible
thing for them as far as like them getting their return because samples cost money and stuff like
that but a lot of things i had to just call a lot of people by face value and just say yo this is
what i'm doing and a lot of people were actually more nicer than i thought you know be too cool
like you know what i'm saying because it's one of them things where it's like,
I'm still asking these people to come back on some of the greatest songs.
You know what I'm saying?
I didn't go for no in-between joints or nothing like that.
I went for the greatest records I could think of.
You know what I'm saying?
Which is hard to do.
That's why I say I really f***ed this tape,
because sometimes people do things like that,
and it's almost like a crutch.
But you actually made some of these songs sound just as good.
No, thank you so much, bro.
Like the beautiful shit with Snoop.
Hard.
Hard.
Thank you.
You know what I respect, too?
I respect the fact that you're a real shit, too, man.
Because you're the only person out here admitting that you had some work done on your hairline.
Yeah, you gotta let this shit go, man.
You still choose to lie.
But see, I told you.
Next time I come in here, I was going to come a little more darker.
Now let me, now let me.
You know what I'm saying?
I was going to come a little more dark and a little more dark.
Now what did you do to your hair, Tori?
Okay, so look.
Same thing you did to yours, King.
We're going to have this conversation in a second.
No, I did not.
You wore his hat on purpose today.
I'm going to explain it.
He knew he was coming.
He was like, I ain't going to do that.
I'm going to explain it.
Go ahead, Tori.
What did you do to yours?
Can I see the hat?
In a second, I'm going to take my hat off.
In a second.
In a second.
Go ahead, Tori.
See, I was him last time I came here.
No, it's not.
See, now you're letting me down.
See, now, Tori, look. I don him last time I came here. No, it's not. You're not. You're not. You're not.
I don't have hair plugs or follicles or none of that.
I want you to pause, pause, pause.
You got to touch it for yourself so you can see this real.
All right?
All right, go ahead.
My hair grows.
He just mad at me.
This mother f***ing grew again.
Guys, you see this s***?
See, this is my real hair.
This dude is crazy.
Tori, he had a f***ing season Friday. No, it did not. This guy is crazy. Iti, he had a season Friday.
No, he did not.
This guy is crazy.
It's his hair, though.
It's my hair.
Tori, stop, man.
I know this person.
I've been working with him for nine years.
I just let my hair grow.
This is the first time I let it grow.
That's it.
I just have seasons all the time.
What did you do, Tori?
But see, that's the thing, though.
See, right?
See, like, basically what I did for my edges, right,
is where they have these things also called PRP shots, right?
Yes.
Basically where you take, like, the blood.
The blood out of you.
From your arm or whatever the case is, and then they'll put the blood in, like, the dead cells of, like, your hair.
Basically, the doctor that I went to, right, is a dude who, he does a lot of stem cell research.
So every day he comes up with new stuff, but it's specifically for black and Hispanic hair.
Now, boom, I had to do a procedure also with the follicles, too.
You feel me?
Just on my edges because that's where I was losing it.
It was on the corners of my head.
You feel me?
When I did it, you can get it and still not come back.
That's what n****s don't understand.
Like, you can still, like, you got to let, number one, it got to grow.
That's why last time I came on the show, I was like, yo, bro, when I come back here,
it's gonna be darker.
This isn't some procedure that just looks like I got a tattoo on my head.
Nah, my hair has to grow.
Your real hair still gotta be, you know?
For me, and I wanna always attest to something, I went through all phases for n****s.
What you mean?
Boom, I had the receding joint.
Right.
I said, you know what? I was like, I can't keep it. Shaved it all bald. I had the receding joint. Right. I said, you know what?
I was like, I can't keep it. Shaved it
all bald. I went bald. I showed
there was a way out. Okay. You know
what I'm saying? Boom.
Then I was like, yo, I gotta come back.
I showed there was a way
to come back. Right. But now hold on.
I use like all organic
products and stuff. Like, cause I knew
Keep talking. Keep talking. This is the all organic products and stuff. Keep talking.
This is the secret.
This is the secret.
This is the secret.
I'm glad we have a professional. He said he started seeing Dr. Sebi
so he's changed his diet with vegan
holistic organic shit.
I did not say that.
He said it was his diet.
Let Tory speak.
I will say this. He said it was his diet. He told me it was his diet. Let Torrey speak. I will say this.
Go ahead.
Let Torrey speak.
Go ahead.
What people don't realize is there is a lot of stuff that's made from the earth.
Preach.
That is here to actually enrich and stop your hair from having those issues early.
But you got to catch it.
You got to catch it.
Not when you 40 plus.
I caught mine.
Okay. Look. Don't be. Look. That's what I'm. Listen. Nah, bro. Come on, catch it. You got to catch it. Not when you 40 plus. I caught mine. Okay.
Look, don't be.
Look, that's what I'm.
Listen.
Nah, bro.
Come on, Torrey.
He's combing it.
So what?
This is not real.
This is not no follicles.
You can't comb yours?
Of course I can comb yours.
Okay.
But mine's real.
So that's what I'm saying.
Like, you got to remember.
But you did a procedure to get it back.
Yeah.
You did something.
But it's acting like this just grew.
It did.
You've been with me
every day.
You would see it.
And here's the thing, too.
It's got to be one of
those things where
the follicles that they
put in your hair
from your hair
have to be growing.
You have to have hair
that grows either
from the backside
or somewhere in your hair
in order for it to work.
It's not going to work.
You know what I'm saying?
If your hair doesn't
actually grow,
but once they do it,
your hair is going to grow
exactly like how it would grow. That'd be a piece of shit painful, bro. You think so? I'm not going to lie. I'm saying? If your hair doesn't actually grow. But once they do it, your hair is going to grow exactly like how it would grow.
That PRP is painful, bro.
You think so?
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I let Dr. Sandy ask me to do the PRP once or twice.
But I was like, I ain't fucking.
I'm saying.
I'm saying.
I'm saying.
I was like, yo, this shit's too painful.
That shit was giving me headaches.
I was like, I'll just be bald, yo.
So you tried it.
I tried the PRP like twice.
But it wasn't. They drew the blood. They drew the PRP like twice. But it wasn't bad.
They drew the blood.
They drew the blood.
She drew the blood out of my arm.
She did the whip up.
You over here hypocritin' like a mother f***er, boy.
He hate you.
He jealous.
Now the real deal.
Hold on, hold on.
Tap out.
Tap out.
Hold on.
Take your hat off real quick.
My s*** is f***ed up.
I just wanted to see what's going on.
I'm going to get a haircut today.
Take it all the way off, baby.
It's f***ed up, Tory.
Camera maker, you come over here.
I was waiting for this moment to get his ass back. You know what I'm saying?
You see me? I'm out here. I'm darker.
I'm darker. You know what I'm saying?
We live at large. I told him
to get that. I just wanted to do that. You can go back
the way you was at it. I'm going to get the first ball today.
Who told you about this procedure?
Was Tiger the one that told you? And how did you have that conversation?
How did you ask him? Tiger was definitely
the person. Listen,
nobody knew that Tiger did this, so I'm sorry that I'm like, I'm sorry that I,
like, you know, but for n****s who paid attention to Tyga's hair and to pay attention to people
that was like in the light, like, yo, he got a hair problem.
What's he going to do?
You know what I'm saying?
So first time I met him, like, I damn near was plotting on this s***.
I was like, bro, like, you know, you in Miami, bro, pull up to the crib.
You know what I'm saying?
At the time,
this is before Taste.
Mm-hmm.
He didn't have Taste.
He didn't have Taste.
But his hair was,
his hair was beautiful.
But his hair was beautiful.
Pause.
But his hair was beautiful.
So it was like, yo,
so I was like, yo, bro,
this unlimited features thing
is not a joke.
This is real.
That's what you told him.
I was like, yo, this is real.
For the rest of my career,
and I'm gonna be big I got you
you know I'm gonna
give it to y'all live
on the show
the doctor's name
is Dr. Ziering
basically
he's a dude
based out of LA
he's not a guy
that you could just
go to all the time
because he's so
booked up
because his shit
really works
you know what I'm saying
and he comes up
with so many different
research things and things that he
has. You know that. Don't know that guy.
You know him already. I don't even know if he's white, black or what he is. I don't know.
He's a white guy though. That's the thing about
it. And it's not that it can't be done for
white people either because it is, but it
just specializes for
black people. How much does it cost to do it? It can be
expensive or it can be inexpensive. It just depends
on what you need to do. You feel me?
Alright, we got more with Tory Lanez
when we come back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.

I ain't sending no
Diss records at nobody
Leave me the fuck alone bro
You feel me
And like whatever me
And that dude spoke about
And you know
Think everybody should just know
Like it all derived
From somebody walking up to me.
I didn't go and start that problem.
Somebody walked up to me with the animosity.
So it's like...
Did you know him? Did you know him?
It was kind of crazy,
but I don't want to talk into the situation,
but, yeah, like, I calm down. I be
chilling. Like, just don't bother me, dog. Like, you
know what I'm saying? Because I'm a human
being just like the next guy, famous or not.
And I look at disrespect the way another look at disrespect.
Don't disrespect me.
I'm not disrespecting you.
You're doing so good, man.
You know what I'm saying?
He's not climbing the venues no more.
No, I'm still doing that.
Don't get me wrong.
I had to go on two, like, arena tours, the Drake and the Chris Brown.
But that's the only thing that kind of stopped me from being in that crowd,
wilding out and climbing and crowd surfing and stuff like that,
like I always do.
But now that I'm back to my real shows, we back.
You can beat that case in the court of law, too, though, by the way.
No, no, no.
I'm not even worried about beating it.
It's one of them things where it's like it's so much things wrong with the
picture from, you know, just a standpoint of protection or the artist of
whoever's supposed to be in that club for the night.
You know, it was a hosting.
It was a night I was there.
It's a lot.
He shouldn't have been able to approach you like that.
Exactly.
And at the end of the day, I'm a cool guy.
I'm not a guy that's a, you know, I'm singing R&B
and bringing the old, like, old R&B classics back.
I'm at a different point in my head.
Like, you know, I'm not there with this,
but just don't disrespect me.
That's all I ask. Just say you saw a B. Say it was a B in the club. It didn. Like, you know, I'm not there with this, but just don't disrespect me. That's all I ask.
Just say you saw a bee.
Say it was a bee in the club
and it looked like
you connected
so you just
was trying to
swat the bee away.
That's all.
That's it.
That's it.
It seems like you got
a thing for Ashanti.
I love Ashanti, man.
Shout out to Ashanti.
She's on the project.
She's on the front cover too.
Did you ever try to
take it past
this working relationship?
Nah, not like that.
I mean, like, you know, in some friendship, like, we'll talk about, like, going on vacation and shit like that.
But, like, she's a cool person.
Not that I wouldn't holler.
But, you know, I just, I think that when we met each other, like, we're both, like, we love to work.
And I think that was, like, the common, you know, thing about it with me and her.
It was like, yo, I like to her was like yo i like to work oh
you like to work too oh like i'll be in the studio until seven o'clock in the morning oh you be in
the studio at seven o'clock in the morning too that was where we connected and so like um even
when i first told her about the cover she she was kind of like yo she didn't really know the whole
like aspect and the whole like chicks tape thing she didn't know how big it was she was kind of
like kind of skeptical about it at first.
I remember I had this hour-long conversation with her.
Like, Ashanti, you look exactly like how you looked,
probably younger right now,
and I need the world to see the essence and the beauty of what's going on here.
And she was just like, all right, man.
You know what I found interesting?
You said Drake had no business being at the Camp Flog Now thing.
Why did you think that? No, it me and me and him both laughed about like the next day like we was on the phone just laughing about it he was
like yo that was that was one for the butt you know when it's just so rich he just don't give
a like that was like it was like that was the first time i was just like you so successful
you didn't even like that didn't even faze you see like me would have been sitting at home i'd have been sitting at home for a good couple hours like damn he didn't even
give a and so like my thing was just like well you know now that you you know you don't give
a i just want to go on record saying boy you know goddamn well you should you know what i'm
saying so like when i said it i was basically just reiterating the conversation we already had like
like you know it's it's why do you think he shouldn't have been there, though?
Because, not that he shouldn't have been there,
but, like, a guy like him and a guy like me
is, like, when those kids that wear Dirty Chuck Taylors
and they're in that crowd and they're waiting to see Frank Ocean,
because, you know what I'm saying,
at one point he was also a man who wore Dirty Chuck Taylors,
they're going to want to see Frank Ocean at that moment because they're anybody if you're if if I expected to see f***ing a hologram of f***ing Tupac or whatever the f*** it is if I expected
to see something else and then you give me something else and then you gotta think about
it like f***ing Frank Ocean's like a unicorn like you don't see this s*** like he's not a s*** that
you actually see.
I don't even think it had nothing to do
specifically with Drake.
It was just like,
yo,
we're waiting for this grand thing
and we don't think we're going to get it now.
I think that like,
they told us it's just going to be this
and we're not going to get what we were waiting for.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's all I think it was.
Is there certain shows you refuse to do
because of that?
Nah,
nah,
nah,
nah.
I'll do every show
because my thing is different.
I don't care how many
of y'all bitches out there.
It could be 60,
100,000 of y'all bitches.
Each and every one
of you guys is individual.
And if I was in the room
with each and every
individual one of you,
none of y'all bitches
would front on me.
Which means,
if I go,
see me,
I'd have put on a record,
I'd have jumped in the crowd,
I'd have been walking
all over them motherfuckers.
What are y'all talking about?
I'd have been standing
in the middle of that shit.
What are y'all talking about? You know what I'm saying the middle of that shit. What are y'all talking about?
You know what I'm saying?
Because at the end of the day,
that's just me.
Now, you know,
the good thing about that story
is I love the fact you said,
I called Drake.
Because a couple of years ago,
it wasn't like that.
So I love the fact that y'all relationship is great, man.
I saw him post Chicks Take Five
the other day and everything.
No, that's my nigga.
I love that.
I just seen his house, actually,
for the first time. Let's talk about that. That house looks fucking I just seen his house, actually, for the first time.
Let's talk about that.
That house looks f***ing amazing.
This f***ing house, first of all, I only saw the left side of it.
You know what I'm saying?
I only saw the left side.
That's crazy.
You walk in, big basketball court.
F***, it was crazy.
Like, this s*** was so crazy.
It was like, f***, you just have this crib because you know s*** like me gonna come to breakfast club and let the world know.
And I remember just walking through this f***ing crib, crib bro and it was at one point like i couldn't even
front look at this go bro you really did it bro and i don't even talk to like that i'm one of
them i keep it to myself bro you can talk to a nigga about his hair but can't give it up for
you know some they won't you know they're not like that. So me, I just like, at that moment, I had to just be like,
yo, bro,
you really did it.
Bro,
you see it?
It's like,
yo,
cuz,
it's crazy.
Why don't y'all collaborate more?
We don't see each other as often,
but we talk to each other all the time.
We don't see each other as often.
And we recorded one time
when we was in Jamaica.
We had recorded some stuff out there.
But I think,
with us two,
I think it's just like, one of the things is like, yo, when we really finally, like, one time we was in Jamaica, we had recorded some stuff out there, but I think with us too, I think it's just like one of them things is like, yo, when we really finally, like
one of them, one time both schedules is clear and dah, dah, dah, dah, we'll really actually
go in.
You know, I think that things that are supposed to happen when it comes down to us musically,
I think they'll happen if they happen and when they happen organically, you know, I
don't, I don't rush it.
I don't, you know, I also do pride myself on the fact that I'm somebody
who came in the industry without a cosign.
I'm somebody who came in here without, you know, a big feature
or whatever the case is, and I think that still speaks volumes.
So as long as it takes, regardless, you know, I'm still building my own catalog,
and that's what makes it dope when we finally get together,
and I got this many records too.
You know what I'm saying?
Do you think you'd have been bigger if you came out with OVO?
I think maybe at the time, I think, I guess.
But at the same time, it doesn't change anything that, you know,
at the time, of course, with Party Next Door and everybody coming out,
it would have been a dope move.
But for me, you know, I think the way we were introduced to Tory is, you know, it's part
of it. You know, everything is part of the story.
You know, when we
remixed Controla, when we did
all that stuff, it was part of the story.
You know what I'm saying? So, and I don't even
think we would have been as close if that part
of the story wasn't there. Alright, we got more with
Tory Lanez when we come back. Let's get into his joint.
His feature in T-Pain is Jerry
Sprunger. Everybody, let's get into his joint. His feature in T-Pain is Jerry Sprunger.
Everybody, it's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast
Club. Good morning. Good morning. Let's get
to the rumors. Let's talk Kodak Black.
It's time.
She's spilling
the tea. This is the rumor
report with Angela Yee
on The Breakfast Club.
So Kodak Black is trying to enter a drug rehab program while he's serving time in prison in Florida.
And in addition to being separate and living separate from the general population,
you also get the advantage of perhaps getting some time off.
So you might get up to 12 months knocked off of your prison sentence.
You know, he's sentenced to 46 months right now.
And in addition to that, it's a 500-hour program.
It lasts nine months, and there's group therapy and one-on-one treatment as well.
So it makes sense if you can get less time to do that program.
He's also, according to sources, saying that he wants to take the SATs when he eventually gets released,
and he does want to go to University of Florida and get a bachelor's degree.
Okay.
Clean it up, right?
Yep.
All right, Nick Cannon is getting his daytime talk show in 2020, and here's great news for him.
It will be getting guaranteed double runs on Fox-owned outlets in 17 major markets, including nine of the top 10 markets.
So congratulations to Nick Cannon.
That's what I feel is wrong for Nick Cannon.
Want to start? They just did in congratulations to Nick Cannon. That's what I feel about Nick Cannon. Want to start?
They just said in 2020 in the fall.
That's great.
Fall of 2020.
All right, cool.
Should I give the radio a run about,
I'd say about two or three more years.
Listen, he's killing it right now.
He's a host on The Masked Singer,
and of course he has Wildin' Out,
and he has a clip series coming called Nick Cannon's
hit viral videos.
He hosted NBC's America's Got Talent
for eight seasons.
He's still got time to go to school.
He's doing Cannon's Corner. Nick is the man.
And he has the Wildin' Out tour.
The stand-up comedy tour. He has a restaurant
in Miami. He's got a lot
going on. That's right. Shout out to him for it.
If the daytime talk show starts 2020,
I give the radio show until the end of 2021.
Why?
Ryan Seacrest does it?
Barely.
But I'm not going to talk about that.
That's iHeart business.
Nick will be good.
He has a morning show and he has live.
Okay.
All right.
Antonio Brown has posted an apology to Robert Kraft.
He said, Mr. Kraft, I apologize sincerely to you and your organization.
All I wanted to be was an asset to the organization. I apologize sincerely to you and your organization. All I wanted
to be was an asset to the organization. Sorry
for the bad media and the drama. Thank you
sincerely, AB.
Sue. That hurt my heart to see that
yesterday. Why? Because, man,
you bowing down to the man. Two weeks ago
you was calling the NFL a plantation and saying
anybody who wants to work there is a fool
and all types of other stuff. And now, two weeks
later, you gotta bow down to Robert Kraft.
What has to happen for one of these brothers in the NFL?
One of these brothers in the NFL has to say F the NFL and mean it.
Until that happens, you're going to keep seeing people in this position.
You're going to keep seeing people in the position that Cap was in on Saturday.
Until one of these brothers says F the NFL and means it, this is going to continue.
He could have been emotional.
He could have said some things that he really didn't mean.
Instead of a out of emotion.
Antonio Brown did meet with the NFL last
week to address sexual assault allegations
against him. They said it was an eight-hour
meeting and there could be follow-ups
before a decision is made about what's going to happen
with his future. So
don't know what happened there.
He'll end up back on the Patriots.
Patriots ain't got no wide receivers right now
and they need some wide receivers. He'll end up back on the Patriots. Patriots ain't got no wide receivers right now and they need some wide
receivers.
He'll end up back on the Patriots.
All right.
Would you vote for Kanye with Akon as the vice president?
Absolutely not.
Well,
TMZ talked to Akon about a possible 2024 partnership.
To me,
it's not a competition.
It's a matter of what God wills it to be.
Okay.
You know,
but I think the combination could be something.
You just never know.
We just have to wait for that time to come and see.
Would you run as VP with Kanye as president?
No.
Would that not be the ideal situation?
What would be the ideal situation?
I would do that.
You would do it?
1,000%.
Wow, because that seems like something that really could happen.
You never know.
Anything can happen.
First of all, why would Akon be the VP on that ticket?
Akon out here putting lights all in Africa, he should be
running for president. Well, I guess because Kanye already
said that he wanted to run in 2024.
That don't mean nothing. Run against him.
I don't know that he was really planning
to run for president at all.
They're not running for president. They're just talking
right now. They asked him about it. He was like,
yeah, sure, why not? Alright, I'm
Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report.
Alright, thank you, Missy. Charlemagne.
Yes.
Who are you giving that down to?
We need this culturally clueless executive in Hollywood
to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with him.
Okay.
Okay, and it's just a moment to teach and shame white people.
All right.
For being white.
Okay.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
I was born a donkey.
It's the donkey of the day.
Donkey, donkey, donkey.
One, two, three, four.
It's time for the donkey of the day.
That's pretty funny.
Charlamagne the devil?
Possibly.
The Breakfast Club.
Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, November 20th,
goes to Hollywood.
In particular, culturally clueless Hollywood executives.
There is a headline going around,
and I had to cite sources to make sure this was a real story.
And it is, because it came from the screenwriter
for the new Harriet movie, Gregory Allen Howard.
Gregory Allen Howard was talking about the struggles he faced trying to make
the Harriet Tubman movie and how the
climate in Hollywood was different back
then. And from that conversation, this headline
happened. A Hollywood executive
Everybody pay attention. Open
your ears. I need you to listen.
A Hollywood executive
wanted Julia
Roberts to play Harriet
Tubman in the Harriet Tubman movie.
White Julia Roberts?
Man, yes.
Pretty woman?
Yes.
I can't make this kind of stuff up.
Let's go to ABC 740 Report, please.
It has to do with the movie Harriet, which came out last month.
It tells the story of anti-slavery crusader Harriet Tubman
and stars actress Cynthia Erivo.
But when the film was first in development more than 25 years ago,
another actress's name was in consideration.
Gregory Allen Howard, the movie's script writer, says one studio head said,
quote, this script is fantastic.
Let's get Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman.
When someone pointed out that Roberts couldn't be Harriet Tubman,
the executive responded, it was so long ago, no one's going to know the difference. Still don't know
who that executive was. Don't know
if we ever will, but when talking about the
episode, Allen says the climate in Hollywood
was very different 25 years ago.
Allen told the story in a Q&A
posted by Focus Features, the studio
behind Harriet. Now, before
we move on, Envy really bothered me
with a question he just asked.
You said black Julia.
I said white Julia Roberts.
So who's the black Julia Roberts?
I don't know.
I thought maybe there was another Julia Roberts that was black.
It sounds like a common name.
I'm like, did he know something I don't know?
Another black Julia Roberts?
I'm just asking.
Was she on 21 Jump Street?
That sounds like she could have been on 21 Jump Street.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Okay.
Anyway, a culturally clueless Hollywood executive wanted Julia Roberts, whose ancestry consists of English, German, Swedish, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and French, to play Harriet Tubman, whose grandmother arrived here on a slave ship from Africa.
Harriet Tubman, who was born into slavery, whose parents were slaves.
Dear Hollywood, just because Julia Roberts can play Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman doesn't mean she can play Harriet Tubman in Pretty Slave Woman. Okay?
Just because Julia Roberts can play Laura
Burney in Sleeping With The Enemy, doesn't
mean she can play Harriet Tubman in a movie
called Sleeping With The Enemy Against
My Will because Master Keep Raping Me. Okay?
Just because Julia Roberts can play
Maggie Carpenter in Runaway Bride
doesn't mean she can play Harriet Tubman in a movie
called, guess what?
Runaway Slave! Alright? Sure! Julia Roberts can play Harriet Tubman in a movie called, guess what? Runaway Slave.
All right?
Sure.
Julia Roberts can play Tess Ocean in Ocean's Eleven,
but she can't play Harriet Tubman in a movie titled Atlantic Ocean Eleven,
which is an origin story of how her grandmother got here.
All right?
This is why white people have to stop trying to tell other people's stories.
Okay?
White people can't tell black stories.
And if you have an idea for a black story,
go get a black creative to help you with it, to assist you with it.
Hey, how about just to do it?
All right, same with men trying to tell women's stories, straight people trying to tell gay stories.
You might have the idea, but go get somebody from that community to give it that realness, all right,
so you don't make these kind of mistakes.
White people in Hollywood do stuff like this all the time, by the way.
Remember when Angelina Jolie played Marianne Pearl?
She was a journalist for the Wall Street Journal who was of Afro-Cuban descent.
Ben Affleck played Antonio J. Mendez, who was a Mexican-American CIA operative.
Johnny Depp played Tonto from The Lone Ranger.
Tonto was a Native American.
Remember when Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra?
Okay, this isn't a new thing
for Hollywood.
What's new is social media
and us having the voice
to call this kind of stuff out
and people actually hear us.
Okay, what needs to happen is
we need to find this executive's name
and shame them.
All right?
They don't need to be fired
or anything like that.
They just need to be shamed
and asked,
how would you feel if someone was trying to revise your history?
You have to make examples of people like this
so other folks know not to make these same mistakes.
Now, could Julia Roberts pull off the role of Harriet Tubman?
Probably, but that just wouldn't be historically accurate.
Okay, sadly, being a black slave in America is a unique experience,
and we are still suffering from the trauma of that experience to this day.
To this day!
Okay?
That trauma of slavery was passed on to this generation.
So the roles in Hollywood from, you know,
that time should be passed on to this generation of black people too.
And this is a prime example of minorities doing all the work
and white people taking the credit for it.
Period.
Please give this culturally clueless executive in Hollywood
the biggest hee-haw.
Let Chelsea Handler give him the biggest
hee-haw too. Hee-haw, hee-haw.
That is way too much Dan Manning.
Let Kathy Griffin give him the biggest hee-haw too.
Please give this giant jar of mayo
the biggest hee-haw. And somebody out there
somebody out there knows who that
culturally clueless
executive is right
so even if you don't
want to out him
just take this donkey
today off YouTube
and send it to his
email today
okay
alright
well thank you for
that donkey of the day
up next
ask Yee

relationship advice
or any type of advice
call Yee right now
she'll help you out
with all your problems again Again, the number is
800-585-1051.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Get some real advice with Angela Ye.
It's Ask Ye. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye. Hello, who's this? What's up? It's N Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
It's time for Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
What's up?
It's Noorah.
Noorah, what's up?
What's your question for Yee?
So I just want to know, so basically me and my son's mother,
we've been together for like three years.
I know I messed up.
I did a little something, and she started talking to her ex-boyfriend again,
and I found out.
And basically, she told me, like, that if I get my act together, me and her can get back together and work on it, but she's not going to wait for me. So I'm basically wondering, should I wait for her and just try to get back together, or should I just go do my own thing?
Okay, so did you get your act together?
I'm in the process of doing it.
I'm working on it.
I'm a work in progress.
She sees that.
You know, she's been spending more time with me.
We've been doing more things together and stuff.
But I'm still in the act of getting it together.
But she sees the progress.
Right.
Well, it's too early to tell them because you haven't even gotten to where you need to be for her to feel like she's ready to get back together.
And listen, getting yourself together is not really for another person.
It's for you.
Yeah, definitely.
I know that.
That's why the main important thing is me no matter what.
I just don't want to be like in this limbo situation kind of that should I still be entertaining her or should I just let her do her and just worry about me.
I think so.
When you say you have to get it together, right?
What does that mean?
Basically, you know, I've just been, like,
irresponsible with money and stuff like
that. Like, oh, I get paid next week,
I'll just push that bill, it could be a couple days
late, like, just little,
you know, young, dumb kind of s***.
Excuse me. Okay, and
when you say you messed up, did
other things happen in your relationship?
That's pretty much, like, you know, arguments have stemmed out from, like, financial irresponsibility.
But that's, like, the gist of it.
Like, no cheating or anything like that.
All right.
So it sounds like, you know, finances are the number one reason that relationships don't work out and marriages end over that.
That's the number one reason.
It's not anything else.
That's number one. So it is important to her to see that you are being responsible. But
even bigger than that, like I said, it's important to you for yourself to be responsible. And I feel
like she sees that in you. She sees that you have a lot of potential, but she's also very much
concerned about her own stability and security. If she can't see you doing right on your own,
then it's hard to see you doing right as part of a couple, right?
That's very true. Very, very true.
Is she still talking to her ex?
Yeah, but she's been honest about me with everything
after, you know, I found out she let's me go.
Like, oh, yeah, like, we have an open relationship
even though we're not together.
Okay, so, listen, there's no right or wrong answer to this.
I think get yourself together.
If you feel like
she really does want to be with you and she does want to be
with you and she sees you got it together, then fine.
Now, it's hard to see the person that you
love and want to be with dating somebody else.
If you feel like you can't deal with that,
that's on you also. However,
you said you guys are open and honest and you have
an open relationship
and it seems like you're are you okay with that yeah at first like i know it bothered me but i know that i know i'm not where i need to be to be right for her right now so i know like you know i
do love her i want her to be happy so i know that you know i would just be holding her back and
drowning her at this point well that's some real Okay. So it's a work in progress.
So there's no answer right now, except you just have to wait and see.
Get your life together.
Maybe you'll decide you don't want to be with her anymore, you know?
But it sounds like neither one of you are ready to take that next step right now.
So in the meantime, work on you.
You crying?
You all right?
Yeah.
No, I'm not crying.
I'm smoking a cigarette.
Oh, my God.
She also wants you to stop smoking, by the way.
Didn't she tell you earlier about anal cancer?
That is, yo, I don't need that kind of cancer, brother.
You got cancer in your ass?
What'd I miss?
Nah, I missed this.
What?
All right, man.
Have a good one.
Good luck with everything, bro.
A lot of people smoke cigarettes after sex.
I just don't know you can get cancer in your ass that fast.
All right.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're in the middle of Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
This is Mo.
Mo, what's your question for Ye? Okay, so the
question is, I'm engaged
and
he has outside children
and I have outside
children. Okay, a blended family.
Right, a blended family.
And he doesn't take care of his
biological children
the way that he takes care of mine.
And I've been trying to talk to him about it, but it just seems to not get anywhere.
He says that the other children's mom doesn't, you know, have a problem with it.
But I don't feel like he's spending time with them like how he does with my children.
And he probably feels like spending
time with you and the kids is more convenient
because y'all are together and he's
neglecting his responsibilities and
no one's holding him accountable.
Right. And his children
live out of town so they come down for the
summer and Thanksgiving and
you know, they'll be here soon and they don't
come and live with
us in our home.
They go to the grandmother's house, and he doesn't stay in the grandmother's house.
So it's, like, weird to me.
Why aren't they in our house when they're here on the holiday breaks?
So I don't know what to do.
Like, I don't want to be, you know, with this person.
And, you know, the mothers are blaming me, you know, and I'm like, I don't know what to do here.
Okay, so what is his relationship like with the mothers?
Do they have, like, a hostile relationship?
Yeah, they do.
Okay, because people do tend,
because I've dated guys with kids before,
and they do tend to take it out on the kids
if they don't get along with the mom, right?
And so it could be his relationship with the mothers that is affecting his relationship
with his children, and that is wrong.
Do you communicate with the mothers at all?
It doesn't go well.
It doesn't go well at all.
Is there a way that you can work on that relationship?
Because it seems like that might be the primary issue here.
Well, I've tried to reach out to them, you know, and he doesn't want us communicating at all.
I don't know why.
He just doesn't want us.
Well, I know in the past we've tried and it didn't go well.
It's just a lot behind it, you know, and I don't want to be like, you know what, just forget it.
You spend time when you do, you do, you don't, because I'm such a family oriented person.
Right.
You know, my, my children don't even know his children.
Wow. They don't even know him.
And it's either she doesn't want them over to our home or he doesn't try to encourage
it.
You know, I'm like, okay, well they live in Minnesota.
You know, it doesn't matter what she wants.
He's down here with you.
It is your holiday weekend.
So you should be able to say,
hey, you know what?
I'm going to take her to my fiance's house,
our house.
I know she's not going to hurt them.
I'm putting my foot down.
You're going to respect what I have to say,
and if they don't,
then go get joint custody.
That's the kind of person I am.
I'm not going to let nobody
wait for a kid around me
to try to spend time with them,
but he's not like that.
He's like, okay,
if they can't go over to my house, fine, okay. Is there
another person, a mediator like the grandmother
that could perhaps talk to both
parties? Yeah, I could try that.
That's something that we haven't tried. Well, I can't let
him know to try that. Right. And I think,
you know, you always have to, as we say, lead
with love. And when you go to the grandmother,
talk to her and just express how you
feel in a positive, you know, just be
like, look, I want to make sure, forget whatever we have going on as as adults this is all about the kids and i do
want us to have a better relationship for the sake of our children so that they don't grow up feeling
any kind of way or having issues with the parents for whatever reason so whatever efforts we can
make and if that means that we spend more time at the grandmother's house until the mother's more
comfortable you know can you broker a phone call between us so that we can, you know, get on a conference call and voice our concerns, but not in a hostile way?
Because I think that's the most important thing is how we talk to each other as adults.
So you think it's okay for us to spend time like we're like in visitation, spend time with his kids at home and then leave?
Well, right now.
They have their own room.
Everybody has their own room.
The kids have their own room and everything.
Boys in their room, clothes hung up with cats still on them.
I think you have to start somewhere, right?
And if the mothers are uncomfortable, those are their children also.
And so you don't want to do something that they don't want you to do
because that's just going to make it even worse right now.
So I think you have to show the respect and ease your way into it
and take responsibility and accountability for whatever kind of situation
that on your end might have them feeling whatever kind of way
and be empathetic and understand where they're coming from.
But at the same time,
you have to show that you are really willing to go the extra mile to make this
work and make this happen and know that it is going to be a process.
It's not going to happen overnight.
Right.
You know,
and understand cause you know,
how would you feel with your kids going to somebody else's house that you
haven't been to?
I guess,
well,
they've been there. So that's, that's to your, I mean, I'm house that you haven't been to? I guess, well, they've been there.
To your, I mean, I'm talking about to your house.
Right, they've been there.
Okay.
They've been to my home, you know.
Right.
But I'm the kind of baby mom that I'm just like,
hey, y'all go have fun, make sure, you know.
Yeah, but everybody's not like that, apparently.
So I think you have to understand that it will be a process.
You have to be patient, but you also have to just make sure that you are the mature person.
Okay.
Okay.
I'll work on that.
Thank you so much.
All right.
I hope everything works out, and I think it's dope that you are wanting to make sure that this happens for the sake of the kids.
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.
All right.
Ask Yee.
800-585-1051.
If you need relationship advice
or any type of advice,
call Yee.
Now, Yee,
we got rumors on the way?
Yes.
What historic hip-hop group
is going to be getting
a theme park, hopefully?
Okay.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody. Good morning, good morning, good morning. Hey, what's up? Good morning. It Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody.
Good morning, good morning, good morning. Hey, what's up?
Good morning. It's DJ and the Angela
Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Good morning. Alright, let's get to these rumors.
Let's talk, Kim. I hate your hair. Continue.
Because you don't have hair. Why you
get so mean? Because you don't have hair.
Wow. Did that hurt your feelings?
Yes, you little sassy bitch, you.
You got testy just now. because you don't have hair? Yes, you little sassy bitch, you. You got testy just now
because you don't have hair.
Popped your wrist and all.
Go get your little weave
to match up to this.
Well, I'm going to get my weave
and get it cut down.
It's a little silky.
See this silk.
Hey, ladies,
can we get to the rumors?
Wow.
Sorry.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Kim Kardashian.
Listen up.
It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor get to the rumors. Wow. Let's talk Kim Kardashian. Listen up. It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, Kim Kardashian and Sean King.
Now, apparently people want to know why Kim Kardashian is on the front lines when it comes to the Rodney Reese day of execution.
She was featured on the Today Show to speak about that,
and Sean King was questioned.
Well, first Sean King wrote,
you don't have to believe anything I've ever said about Rodney Reed.
Believe the Innocence Project.
Believe the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles
was just unanimously voted to stop his execution.
Believe the Texas Criminal Court of Appeals was just granted an appeal.
Somebody said, why was Kim Kardashian on the Today Show being interviewed about this case and not you?
And Sean King responded, because she likes being on TV and I like doing the work.
Wow.
All right.
Since then, Innocence Project has posted, at Kim Kardashian,
we are grateful for your support and partnership on Rodney Reed's case
from raising awareness on his fight for justice and motivating so many to take action to your dedication as a legal apprentice to the legal team. And Sean King
posted that and said, yesterday, a lot of you asked me why Kim K was on TV so much,
talking about Rodney Reed getting a stay of execution instead of me. And I said something
flippant to the effect of because she likes being on TV and I like doing the work. That was only
partly true. She does like being on TV and I do like doing the work. But my friends at the Innocence Project let me know today that behind the scenes, Kim is really doing the work. And I mean, everybody plays a part, right?
All hands on deck when it comes to any kind of injustice.
And I mean, honestly, that's just petty to come at Kim for that because if she's on
TV raising awareness for a cause that you're
fighting for, why would you care? Yeah, who cares?
She's raising awareness. We're getting the job done.
If she does it this way, you do it
this way, somebody else does it that way, the whole
job is getting done. That's what I thought the whole thing was.
Everybody can get more done when they stop worrying about who
gets the credit for it. Alright, Floyd Mayweather
has said that his time in the ring is
definitely finished
and he's focused
on other projects,
which is including
his fast-growing chain
of boxing fitness gyms,
also his promotion company,
and, you know,
he has the strip club, too,
in Vegas, right?
Yep, yep.
And he said that he would
still, however,
maybe do some of those
other fights,
the exhibition fights.
The three-rounders, overseas and stuff like that, right?
So according to Floyd Mayweather,
he said, I've got calls to get back into the ring,
but my health is my wealth.
He said, boxing is a very, very brutal sport.
In the last few years, a lot of fighters have died
inside that squared circle.
You have got to know when to hang it up.
I had a great career, and there you have it.
I think that's smart.
I don't think he should fight anymore.
He has nothing to prove.
Nothing at all.
Like, anybody that he would be fighting at this point would benefit them more than it would benefit him.
Like, everybody trying to get this Pacquiao Mayweather 2 to happen.
No.
For what?
All right.
Well, he said, I still travel and do exhibitions.
I make great money doing exhibitions.
Between $10 and $30 million.
He said, I think I make more doing that than most fighters make fighting.
Yeah, I think he'll do an exhibition one or two.
It's only two rounds or three rounds.
It's light work for him.
I think he'll still do that.
And it doesn't affect his 50 and 0 record.
Yeah, it doesn't affect his record.
All right, Mayweather promotions in the meantime.
You know, they have a fight happening this weekend.
Luis Ortiz and Deontay Wilder.
Yes, indeed.
On Saturday.
Part two. Can't wait to see that.
All right. Wu-Tang Clan. Looks like they might
be getting their own theme park. That would be
really amazing if that can happen.
Where at?
Staten Island.
It'll be in South Korea. Okay.
And so, hopefully,
I think that would be really, really dope to go to a
Wu-Tang Clan theme park. That would be dope.
I would definitely take my black ass out to South Korea to go to that Wu-Tang Clan theme park.
I'll be at that grand opening, trust and believe.
What would be some good names for some rides?
I don't know, because all the rides would sound mad scary.
Like, you don't want to get on a ride called Protect Your Neck.
All right?
You don't want to get on a ride called Bring the Ruckus.
I think that sounds amazing.
You know what I'm saying?
The old Dirty Bastard ride?
Yes.
Those are some rides I would want to get on.
Bring the Pain.
Gravel Pick. You want to get in. The Rain of Pain. Gravel pick.
You want to get in a gravel pick?
You're giving me anxiety just thinking about that.
Everything should be virtual reality.
No.
No, I'm cool with that.
Listen, I'm old.
I like virtual reality.
Have you been on a virtual reality, Kosey?
Yes, I have.
Those are dope.
Have you been to the Avatar virtual reality ride?
I forgot what park it is.
I went sometime this year.
It was in Orlando. Orlando. I think it's in Disney World. Incredible. I've never been to Disney World, it is. I went sometime this year. It was in Orlando.
Orlando.
I've never been to Disney World.
Incredible.
Like if you go,
it makes you feel like
you're on a roller coaster.
That's right.
I'd rather really go
on a roller coaster.
I'm 41.
All I need is the feeling.
Why do I want to pretend
to go on one
when I can go on one?
You know I love roller coasters.
No, because it really makes you
feel like you're flying.
It puts you right.
You got to try.
You got to try.
You want a real roller coaster?
I definitely want to be on a real roller coaster.
We do both.
But anyway, we should come up with some great names for these Wu-Tang rides.
Now, Felicity Huffman, she wants to help female inmates after she spent some time in prison.
With the design outfits for?
No.
But she said her experience is that these women are left behind.
They're abandoned.
There's no support for them either in the institution or when they leave the institution
and that broke her heart.
So now she wants to actually help out,
I guess, some way, somehow,
after her experience going to jail
for a very brief period of time,
I might add.
All right.
Princess Love was upset with Ray J.
And I saw both of them in Vegas.
Ray J was hosting the pre-show
for the Soul Train Music Awards.
And he does have a new project coming out, by the way.
Redemption.
Okay.
And you know, Princess Love.
Okay.
God, Ray J.
Okay.
Princess Love is eight months pregnant.
And I guess Ray J left her there.
Ray J posted a picture with Princess Love and their daughter Melody
and said, thank you BET. Hashtag Soul Train Awards.
And Princess Love said, left me and Melody
stranded in Vegas and blocked me from calling.
Now you want to post family photos.
Hashtag buy ugly.
I don't know what happened with them.
It was all good.
And that's a clear joke though. When a person say
buy ugly to you, that's a joke. It might have been a misunderstanding.
Like, yeah, he might have had to go do a show and left him in Vegas.
I'm sure he didn't leave him stranded.
Then she said, yes, I can fly home.
I have my own money, but my car is here,
and I don't want to drive back alone with my daughter
because I'm over eight months pregnant,
and I don't even want to have to stop for gas or go into labor
with all of this human trafficking going on.
Yeah.
So that was when people were asking her,
why don't you just fly yourself home?
And that was her response.
When people say buy ugly, that's like LOL.
Like, I've been getting buy ugly my whole life.
You know what I mean?
I never got that.
I know they're just playing.
I never got that.
You know what I mean?
Maybe it's just you.
I never got that.
Yeah, no one's ever said that to me. Go somewhere.
I'm the only person that gets buy ugly.
Pretty much.
Okay.
Might be a different.
All right.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee.
And that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Women Report.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
And happy birthday to my goddaughter.
She turns 21 today.
Oh, that's a big age.
Yeah, so happy birthday to Jasmine, all right?
All right.
Everybody else, revolt.
We'll see you tomorrow.
The People's Choice Mix is up next.
Get your request in right now.
800-585-1051.
It's like saying bye, Felicia.
No, I was talking to you.
You were talking to you, not me.
It's the Breakfast Club. Felicia. No, I was talking to you. You were talking to you, not me. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Yes, indeed.
The brother Kareem Webb.
Good morning, sir.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Kareem is a multi-unit franchisee of Buffalo Wild Wings and CEO of Fourth Movement.
Yeah. Did you ever imagine yourself opening and CEO of Fourth Movement. Yeah.
Did you ever imagine yourself opening up your own franchises?
Yeah.
I mean, you know, I grew up in a family that was doing franchising.
I mean, so from the time my dad went from being an executive
to becoming a franchisee, the whole conversation around
you can't inherit my job, but one day you can inherit my business.
Just kind of growing up, you know, on fries, as I call it.
I always knew that was a possibility for me.
I mean, when I went to Morehouse College,
I was going to the West End, walking up in polyester uniforms,
working at McVie's.
So, yeah, I think it was always entrepreneurship
and specifically the idea of owning restaurants
in a franchise model was always probably something I was thinking about.
How did you get the capital for your first franchise?
Well, his parents owned a bunch of franchises.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They owned some McDonald's.
But then, you know, we went out, myself, my business partner, Ed, and we scraped, you know, for years.
We opened our first Buffalo Wild Wings in 2009 after the market had crashed and there was no bank financing.
Wow.
We just had to go figure it out.
$3 million at 21 LOIs, people closing the door on cats in their early 30s
who wanted to open units in L.A., so it was tough.
It was $3 million to buy into the franchise for each one?
Yeah.
Wow.
It's different for every franchise that you want to buy into, right?
Absolutely.
Because I know it's really super strict with Chick-fil-A.
You have to work there for two years.
Chick-fil-A, I actually, I mean,
whatever you think about their politics,
I like their motto because it empowers people
that otherwise wouldn't be able to have access to the capital.
Right?
So you're talking about, I think now it's 20,
used to be $10,000.
Wow.
You know, but if you work there,
I know there's a lot of folks that operate those units
making, you know, $400,000, $500,000 a year who have a little bit of money in their deals.
Right.
And they're taking care of their family and engaging in community.
So, yeah, I say kudos to that model.
I thought it was dope.
They want you to work every aspect of Chick-fil-A.
You know what I mean?
Oh, you are a owner-operator.
But that's how good businesses work.
I think that's good.
You have to know how to actually do everything. What business do we know where, like, you know, the CEO of the business or the person that's responsible for the business executing every day doesn't work it?
Correct.
Now, for you, though, I would feel like it was different because because of your family, you had experience and had more knowledge than the average person would before they decide to get into franchising.
Yeah, without a doubt.
You know, I grew up around the dinner table.
I said, you know, I kind of got my MBA at Hamburger University of Reggie Webb with my dad, you know.
So, yeah, to whom much is given, much is expected.
And hopefully we're living up to that.
What were some of those jewels that they put in your head, though, that trained you in a certain way?
Because, I mean, just because they do it doesn't mean the child will get it.
It's really about a way of being, right?
Like, you grow up in the restaurant space and you're growing, you know,
I grew up pretty middle class.
You know, both of my parents came from single parent households, South LA.
So, you know, you know both worlds.
But I'm going home, going to one high school with a kid that's on the grill
cooking Big Macs right next to me.
Has a different set of circumstances, but you know we're the same person.
I wanted to date the young ladies that worked in the drive-thru.
We went and played ball together after we worked.
We were never not the same.
So I think that was the main lesson.
And then my parents were very philanthropic.
I never saw them to this day take advantage of anybody
or do anything that was suspect in terms of the way that they did business.
How many Buffalo Wild Wings do you own now?
We have four and several more on the way, yeah.
And you said you started in old...
First one opened in 2009 in Sorenson in 2011 in the Crenshaw District.
That was like in the middle of the recession at the time, right?
Yeah, it was the opposite of easy.
I don't say you weren't afraid?
Man, I think we were probably too hungry and determined to be.
I mean, yeah, there was a lot of sleepless nights.
And even after you open, it's not just, you know, you open the door and automatically you're successful.
And we had one of the first, really the first Buffalo Wild Wings in L.A. proper.
So, you know, the brand wasn't like it is today in 2009, especially on the coast.
There were none here in New York. There were none in L.A. proper. So we were we were kind of first
to the market. What are some of the rules as far as the franchise that you with Buffalo Wild Wings?
Because I know that a lot of businesses are trying to get healthier also. So how does that affect you
guys? Are there things you can add to the menu? Can you only have like what everybody has across the nation as far as what's on the menu? Are there changes you can make? Like,
I know things have to be pretty uniform. So what to own a Buffalo Wild Wings do you have to adhere
to? I mean, when you are a franchisee, you have to, you know, what you leverage is your ability
to operate well. And for us, that means developing people, especially young people. So there's a
level of cultural competency and engagement with folks to run a system well.
It's not like, oh, I'm in the Crenshaw District.
I think sweet potato pie would do really well, so I get to do it.
No, it's not that.
And that's not why you get into a system like that.
You're really leveraging the entire system to go get access to the resources,
develop people, make a difference where you're doing business.
How do you as an owner handle a situation like the one that happened in, I think it
was Napersville.
Yeah.
Where the black family said they felt discriminated in the Buffalo Wild Wings.
How did the black owner, how did that affect you as a black owner?
It's painful.
But I'm going to tell you, like we sell, you know, $5 beers after 10 o'clock at night.
And, you know, I store in Carson where, you know, we have Latino folks and African-Americans
and somebody might be a Cowboy fan and somebody else is a Green Bay fan and folks get into it.
Things that, you know, you might not think are the nicest thing to be said get said.
And you operate, you deal with the public.
And the only thing you can do is the right thing.
And, you know, and these businesses are run typically by young people
who are inexperienced and are gaining experience and mistakes get made.
I think what you got to look at in situations like this is the quality
of the leadership and then what happens after the fact.
I'm glad to say Buffalo Wild Wings was acquired a year and a half ago
that the president of Buffalo Wild Wings, Lyle Tick,
and the brother, Seth Freeman, who's the CMO,
I've been in contact with them.
I think they've been on the ground talking to Reverend Jackson
and others, the family itself.
So I think they're doing all the right things to ensure
that we're as prepared as possible to try
to prevent that type of thing happening.
When we start talking about 1,300 units and the average of 50, 60 people working in each
unit, and you know the status of our country, and you got folks that support all kinds of
people coming in these businesses, you're going to have some of that.
It's about, you know, how you respond.
Yeah, and I mean, that's why one of the reasons I'm glad you came because, like, you know, you start calling for,
oh, let's boycott Buffalo Wild Wings.
It's like, well, wait a minute.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it's some brothers and sisters that will be affected by that.
Let's put them on the front line so people can see what it is.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, it's exactly right.
We're all human beings doing the best we can to do the best we can.
I think the pressure that we ought to be putting on folks is inclusion around ownership.
It matters who owns these businesses because when you own, you hire folks that you're comfortable with.
You're more culturally competent.
You develop people in different ways.
Listen, you're not going to let somebody maybe challenge you that you don't that you don't feel like, you know,
is respectful of
your experience. Right.
But I have the ability to deal with or
talk to a young person and bring the best
out of them in ways that somebody else might not
challenge a young person.
We appreciate you for joining us, brother.
I'm grateful to you guys, man, for the platform
and for the fact that you guys
represent a lot of us. This is where we get our information and you guys, man, for the platform and for the fact that you guys, man, represent a lot of us.
This is where we get our information, and you guys do it the right way.
So thank you.
What can they read you, Kareem?
Man, just hit me up.
We were at Afrotech together last week.
I can't tell you how many people hit me up on LinkedIn talking about wanting to be involved in the business.
So I just say social is the best place to find me, Instagram, you know, whatever, Kareem Webb.
Okay, and at 4th Movement? And at 4th Movement, yeah. All right know, whatever, Kareem Webb. Okay, and at 4th Movement?
And at 4th Movement, yeah.
All right, shout out to Kareem Webb for joining us.
Now, Charlamagne, you got a positive note?
Yes, first of all, I want to salute my homegirl, Courtney, man.
Courtney is one of my young OGs out here in these streets,
and she's the main person that always says,
She always says,
I'm actually kind of disappointed now
that y'all have hurt my feelings this morning.
But anyway, the positive note comes from
a young man named Arnold Schwarzenegger.
You may know him.
He said,
Strength does not come from winning.
Your struggles develop your strengths.
When you go through hardships
and decide not to surrender,
that is strength.
Bye, Ugly.
Breakfast club, bitches!
You all finished or y'all done?
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
