Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show,
where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about.
It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories,
their journeys, and the thoughts that
arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey y'all, Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called
Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman,
Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.
Flash, slam, another one gone.
Bash, bam, another one gone.
The crack of the bat and another one gone.
The tip of the cap, there's another one gone.
Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama
who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I just want to put out there this morning.
I'm on my way to work this morning.
First song I put on my shuffle,
since I hit shuffle,
Two Shorts Getting It, right?
I'm coming into work banging that.
And it just makes me think, like,
this is a perfect time
for us as a race you know to get out here and get it you got people you like the Emmys showcasing
black you know I'm saying black actors and actresses and stuff like that it's the same
that they didn't do this beforehand it's like being at a dance in high school I mean middle
school you're not going to dance until you see somebody else dance but we can be out here getting it we should be out here getting it there's no better time
yeah i like the way y'all get it i'm out here getting it everybody else get it too let's get
it hey man like too short said you too short said you should be getting it getting it while
getting this good get it while you can and ice cube did an instagram live video yesterday and
he said the same thing he was like yo we got very short window. We got to get it while we can.
Very, very short window.
Very short window.
But I like what's going on at Whistle.
It was authentic.
It feels fabricated to a certain extent with big companies like Amazon and stuff like that.
Y'all wasn't rocking with us.
Y'all know what I'm saying?
Y'all wasn't been rocking with us.
But we out here getting it, man.
I love y'all, man.
I want y'all to have a great, productive week.
All right, brother. Thank you, man. Hello, who'all, man. I want y'all to have a great, productive week. All right, brother.
Thank you, man.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Shante from Vegas, by the way, of California.
Hey, Shante from Vegas.
Get it off your chest. You know, I just want to first say that I so appreciate you guys.
Like, I feel like I've grown with you guys, just listening to you guys over the years.
And you guys are such a great example of
just entrepreneurship and just business and just growing. Like, I just really want to thank you
guys. But Charlamagne, are you there? Yes, ma'am. So I'm a therapist from Vegas and I know that you
didn't do this consciously, but you, you know, you talk about being in therapy, which I think is a beautiful thing. Um, but when you say that you don't seek out black therapists, I just want you to be a
little bit more cautious about those words, especially for, you know, black, young black
people listening who may be questioning and wanting to see a therapist. Like, I think it's
great that, you know, we have black therapists that can help our community and that can really relate.
You know, you guys have some new jobs on there, too, which I'm so happy that, you know, people are discussing and talking about therapy.
But it just seems like you guys didn't have great experiences with those black therapists.
So I just want to know a little bit more conscious, conscious. No, you're right. But when I when I first started therapy, the reason I didn't want a black therapist is because I didn't want anybody to reinforce any prejudices or biases or narratives I already had in my head, you know, in regards to, you know, the race of white people.
Because, you know, that is a primary source of our anxiety.
But now I do want somebody who's a little bit more culturally competent.
And I have been seeing somebody who's a lot more culturally competent.
So it is a black woman.
Yes.
But a few years ago when I first started.
And I'm glad to hear you say that.
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
Awesome.
Because really, when we're sticking out therapists the best question to ask
the therapist honestly and this is for everyone listening ask your therapist one question are they
in therapy like all therapists need to be in therapy and if you have a therapist that's in
therapy that's a great indicator that no matter what they are they'll be you know competent in
what they're doing because we can't be hypocrites out here expecting people you know, competent in what they're doing, because we can be hypocrites out here, expecting people, you know, to really get the help that they need.
And we're not getting it.
So I just wanted to, you know, bring that to your attention.
So I'm glad that you clarified that.
That's been on my chest for a few weeks, especially after this new dog interview.
So but again, I appreciate you guys, what you're doing.
If you guys can check out Charlamagne especially you, New Way Empowerment
Center. We're really trying to change
mental health, especially in the black community.
So yeah, check us out.

And it's improving their edges a lot.
On their eyes as well.
You should care about our beards too.

I haven't seen Steve the cameraman in a long time.
We haven't seen him either.
I don't know if he got furloughed or fired.
You miss Steve?
Oh, no.
Nobody's in the office, so we don't see anybody from Revolt.
Okay.
So, Charlamagne, you were talking about the Brandy and Monica versus battle.

You said Monica, but I think Brandy will win.

It says The Breakfast Club 105.1.
Shut up.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest on the line right now.
He just turned 50 years old.
Irv Gotti.
Yes.
Irv, old man Gotti is on the phone. But I feel renewed and refreshed and ready for this second run.
Yes, I saw you doing a TikTok challenge for your 50th.
You know what's messed up about that, though?
Let's just talk about that.
Because I got over 100,000 views, like 2,000 comments.
It totally went bananas, right?
My nieces and my new assistant Jackson's's like come on you gotta do it you gotta
do it so they didn't know i was gonna throw up the middle finger they thought i was gonna do that
shoulder or whatever to shake so when i did it it was like ah this is gonna go viral but i was like
once it happened and got all of i was like i will post some really meaningful things, right?
That are really meaningful.
Like, I feel important.
And it will get nowhere near the amount of what I just did for TikTok.
So I guess, you know, it's a young generational world.
Like, my old heads, though, they felt me.
They was like, yeah, yeah, that's it.
That was it right there. that's what i was doing now you got to do that what's going on the dance no no no no no
i was not doing no dance grand opening grand closing that was it i'm not a tic tac guy i
gotta i got tic tac not tic tac it's tick to, it's TikTok, Irv, not Tic Tac, Tic Tac.
Oh, I said Tic Tac?
My bad, Tic Tac.
You know what I'm saying?
Now, you're back in the music.
You're jumping back in full steam?
I jumped back in, not just full feet, whole body,
because of this artist that God blessed me with.
Just so y'all know, like, I wanted back in the music business maybe, like, 10 years ago. But y'all know me, I don in the music business maybe like 10 years ago.
But y'all know me, I don't want to do a regular artist or someone who I don't think could take over the world.
I met the guy, my nephew, who's 22 years old.
He called me and said, Uncle, I know you're looking young.
And I wanted a young guy because it's a young world.
I didn't want an older rapper.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't think a new older rapper could take over the world.
Irv, who do you like from right now,
before we get into who your artist is,
because you're saying the older generation doesn't really,
it's like a divide.
So for you, what artist,
because I was watching the BET Awards yesterday
and seeing who was nominated, who was winning awards.
Who do you like from the younger generation?
I love Rowdy Rich.
I think Travis Scott is a beast.
And I like them all.
I'm a different old head because I'm so into music and I kind of understand artists and understand the new generation. Here's the one thing I don't like about the new generation is they
are flagrant with disrespect
of the older generation.
Yeah, I think it would be helpful to...
Where is he from? He's from
Gary, Indiana.
Oh, like Freddie Gibbs.
Freddie Gibbs, yeah.
Freddie Gibbs. Let me tell you about Gary,
everyone who talks to me
about Gary, Indiana is like,
yo, it's the hood.
Right, and that's where Michael Jackson's from too.
Yeah, now of course, that's the flip side.
The Jackson family was raising Gary Indiana there.
They said their house was like a fixture of Gary Indiana.
Now I was going to ask, you know, with this new artist,
so are you full-blown record label Irv Gotti?
Is this bringing Murder, Inc. back, or is it just the are you full-blown record label Irv Gotti? Is this bringing Murder Inc. back
or is it just an artist you're dibbling and dabbling with?
What's the plans for Gotti?
I am murdering
until I die, so I'm not
going to come back and change the day.
I got a big company, Visionary Ideas.
It's the flag that I go under
for TV and film. It's not going to be
Visionary Ideas Records. It's going to be
Murder Inc., you know what I'm saying? I'm a different person now. I'm also heavy TV and film. It's not going to be visionary idea records. It's going to be murdering. You know what I'm saying? But I'm a
different person now. I'm also
heavy TV and film.
I have five TV series.
I have Tales is coming back for season three
once this COVID stuff ends
and they allow me to shoot.
I got this other series that's a spin-off
from season one called
Trap Queens that's dope.
It's amazing. That's coming out
on BET. That's this other joint
called The Operator. I don't know
if y'all caught the HBO Doctor
Scheme with my man Christian Dawkins.
It was about the college paper play.
I got the series
to that documentary
on BET+.
Then I got
Click. Click is dope. It's like
Entourage, but based on
hip-hop and rappers.
And the rapper is a new
young rapper's Entourage, and I call that
The Click. That's on USA
Network. And then I got
a joint with Shaquille and
Sean E. O'Neal called I Wanna See You Less
on TBS.
I got five TV series series and then I got two
movies. And I'm happy to
announce here, I told you we have to jail
on the Breakfast Club,
but I got a signed
deal with Warner Brothers.
You know me, I got a big mouth,
right? Yeah.
You can't spill the beans.
They be like, yo,
don't say it's a signed, you're talking yo, don't say it. So it's signed.
You're talking too soon.
But I'm like, it's done.
All right, we got more with Irv Gotti when we come back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Irv Gotti.
And what's the relationship with everybody in the Inc now?
Have you spoke to them in a while?
You didn't speak to some of the members.
Did you speak to any, everybody?
So when y'all do this documentary, you can get to,
I know you speak to Jah.
I know you spoke to Lloyd.
Now what about Ashanti and everybody else?
I wish Ashanti all the love and the best thing in the universe
and the world, but the direction that I'm going in now
with my young boy, really the only
people, Rule is to
the casket drops, but that's me and
Black Child too. So it's me,
Rule, Black Child,
JT, and my girl
Joy, who's got a
white female rapper
who's hot.
Right?
So that's my risk to me in moving forward.
You know, I still bang with Boogie Bird.
I still bang with Fitted Circle.
They got their deals with 300.
But my whole total focus and energy right now is SNFJT.
Got you. Young boy from Gary.
And I'm doing that because
I know if I could get him
to reach the heights of this
hip-hop culture in this world,
I know for a fact
that he
could spearhead the whole resurgence
of murder. And he's that
talented. Yo, this guy writes
hit records in 15, 20 minutes.
Well, you gonna play something, Envy?
Yeah, yeah, we gonna play a joint. Before we
play this joint, I got one last question.
When you play the joint, and everyone, when he plays
the joint, he's gonna play Ride or Die.
Ride or Die was one of the records
that he made when
he first got to the studio after
I was introduced to him by
my new assistant, Jackson, and my
nephew, Juwan.
And he did five records in like a couple hours.
Wow.
And Ride or Die was one of those records.
Before we play Ride or Die, question.
Do you think the industry now is too hard on anything Ja Rule does?
And the reason I say that is, you know, Ja Rule shot that commercial, I guess, for a TV show.
And people were like, oh, my gosh, Ja Rule's doing a Ja Rule commercial. Then he was performing out in the shore. Oh, my gosh, Jairus shot that commercial, I guess, for a TV show, and people were like, oh my gosh, Jairus doing a Jairus commercial.
Then he was performing out in the shore. Oh my gosh, he performed for five people.
Do you think, like, enough, enough, like, leave Jairus alone?
Like, they tough on Jairus.
I think because
of the beef with
that guy, I think
it's just something that, until
we have overwhelming
success, and in me too, i get a little bit not as
much as job they question me and they think i'm whack so you're whack and he he kills and destroys
your career and i just be like okay okay right so i think because of the situation it's a unique
situation and that's what keeps the negativity and the bull going.
But I noticed something.
I noticed something this time, and I noticed a change in the comments
when they was trying to go in on him for the commercial,
and people was like, yo, what are you talking about?
He's making money.
He did a commercial.
And he didn't even do a commercial.
It was part of the TV series that he has on TBS. But I think out of context, people didn't know what it was. It just looked like even do a commercial. It was part of the TV series that he has on TVS.
But I think out of context, people didn't know what it was.
It just looked like it was a commercial.
It wasn't real content.
Because when I first saw it, I was like, this looks crazy.
Because it didn't even look shot right.
It didn't even pronounce the names right.
Hey, but you know what's crazy?
He's going to win the TV.
It's a bunch of celebrities.
Because that thing went so viral.
It's so tough.
So that's why Rue, if you see the first post that he posted,
he was thanking the dude, yo, like yo, good looking.
You know?
He's for the marketing, right?
He blew it up.
He blew it up and it worked out great for Rue
because that's what the commercial needed exposure.
They got monster exposure for no money.
You know what I'm saying?
So it worked for him, and it worked out well, you know?
Even the other thing is when he was doing the thing,
really that was for his man.
You know what I'm saying?
But he parlayed it because John has a couple icons,
and icons books people for any type of shows.
So let's introduce this record.
That's why even going back to my man JT,
it's crazy because I say it's God's plan
because God propped him up,
but then God also with this pandemic
gave me the time to make...
I got two albums on.
That's why we in the studio
and he makes records so fast.
And I had an accumulation of music
that I wasn't giving to people.
I'm going to tell you,
I'm not here on the Breakfast Club.
Once he breaks,
and he's popping and radio and everything,
you're going to hear a hit record from JT
for the next seven to ten years.
I got enough music right now
for three years of hits.
Irv, we appreciate you for checking in, brother.
I'm a complete black-owned
business. Support black-owned businesses.
Oh my gosh.
Alright, Irv Gotti, it's the
Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
the Breakfast Club. Now, if you just
joined us, we opened up the phone lines. We're asking
if you know somebody who's a Trump supporter,
how do you feel about that?
Do you still mess with them?
I think it depends on what it is.
I can't see myself being cool with somebody who I know would support somebody
that supports white supremacy and doesn't denounce it
and has done harmful things to the black community.
So that makes it difficult for me
to understand why you would think that person is a good person and support. Now, I can't tell
anybody who to vote for, but if you're very vocal in that, I think that would probably lead to a lot
of arguments. You know, but I was talking to my daughter about this the other day, but you know,
a lot of people voted for Trump for different reasons, not necessarily because of of his of how he feels, but because of his policies.
Like they feel that Trump will cut taxes for people.
So that's why they voted for him.
They feel like Trump will do things like support the NRA and maybe they're a gun supporter or they think that Trump will give us rebates.
And if you have businesses in the U.S.
So people vote for Trump for different reasons. It's just what reason do you do?
I understand before he was president, you might have thought maybe been more optimistic,
but now seeing what has happened moving forward, are you saying I would vote for him again?
It's a whole nother story. Yeah, that is true. Like I tell her,
some people vote for their own personal reasons. For me, I vote for really, I'll be honest with
you, I vote for my community. I want to see my community do better. Right now we're in a crisis.
Yeah, yeah, of course. Me getting tax cuts and tax breaks and all that stuff for my business
would be great. But how does that benefit my community? It doesn't benefit my community.
I need my community to be benefited. And if that doesn't benefit my community,
then I don't need it.
You know, so we just see so many racist people feeling empowered right now and we see how divisive things have been and we see no true leadership. And so I think that makes it really
difficult to even justify how you can say, well, I get some tax breaks. Yeah, no, I'm totally with
you. And every time I see a Trump flag, it irks me. It like really makes me upset. And I don't
know why. And of course, everybody has their right to vote for whoever they want to vote for. They
have the right to put whatever flag they want in their yard. But every time I see that that flag,
it makes me feel white supremacy. Every time I see it, that's how I feel. That's that's the
taste I have in my mouth. And I really dislike it. But let's go to the phone lines. We just
know what type of person you are. Then that's all. Yeah. Hello, who's this? Nicole.
Hey, Nicole.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Now, let me ask you a question.
If you know somebody who's a Trump supporter, how do you feel about them as a person?
So, at first, it wasn't a problem with me.
Like, I was like, okay, whatever.
They can support whoever they want to.
Right.
Until the whole Black Lives Matter thing came about with George Floyd.
Mm-hmm.
So, I watched him on
Facebook, said nothing, said nothing.
As soon as Trump get on there and do his whole
law and order, they got
so much to say. And it's like,
yeah, we support the protest, but
it's no but. Like, come on.
But before, quiet as a mouse.
Wouldn't say nothing.
And then he's over here supporting,
he wants to keep these monuments and statues
up of people who were
white supremacists and racists and
oppressive. I don't even understand
how as a human being right now you can't say,
you know what, let's make this
You're like, black lives
matter, but it's no
but at this point. Like,
all lives can't matter until black lives
matter. Point blank, period.
People that support Trump,
I just don't
necessarily want you in my
circle. That's my honest truth.
You have the right to support who you
want to support and put whatever flag you want to put
on there, but when I see the way that he
treats how people talk, so how people, he
retweeted somebody that said white supremacy
and he says and does wow-ish.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, my name is Malcolm out of
VA, man. I just want to say good morning.
DJ Envy, good morning.
Angeline, I listen to y'all every day.
I'm from New York, Brooklyn.
You know what I'm saying? Brooklyn.
So we're asking, if you know
a Donald Trump supporter,
how do you feel about them as a person?
Well, I'll be honest with you now.
You know what I'm saying?
This is a good friend of mine I've known for years.
I mean, I watch his kids.
He's watched my kids.
One thing I'll say, we have a big difference when it comes to political opinions.
But we still respect each other's values.
Correct.
At the same time, like I told him, I said, I'm not big on Trump.
You know, ever since, take care, ma'am, ever since the Central Park issue,
I was like, I can't respect him.
Yeah, I can't respect him because, you know, at the end of the day,
he, you know, contaminated a whole jury pool.
And them boys weren't able to get a fair trial.
Correct. Right. And he
can't even own up to that to this day.
He can't even just say, you know what?
He won't own up to it. He won't own up
to it at all. You know?
So, first of all, I want to say I'm an essential
worker. So, I've seen
that the worst people I've had
to deliver to for Amazon
to me have been Trump supporters.
Everybody else on the average, I stop by, they say, thank you.
You know, we appreciate you.
You know, everything.
But every time I stopped at a house that has a Trump flag in front of it, they always give me a nasty look.
Right.
You know, and I'm like, yo, I don't even want to have to deliver this to you.
I'll take it back. You won't get I'm like, yo, I don't even want to have to deliver this shit to you. I'll take it back.
You won't get it
for another couple days.
As far as I'm concerned.
I love it.
And let me tell you something.
I will say this.
Thank you, bro.
As Trump supporters
are coming at me
and going hard
on social media,
I enjoy it.
I'm like, please, be mad.
I think for me,
as long as I feel like
I'm on the right side
of things
and I'm moving with how I feel in my heart.
And if you have a problem with that, then I welcome.
I'm happy.
I'm happy we're not on the same side.
I'm happy we don't agree.
I'm cool with that.
I'm great with it.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, man.
It's me.
How you doing?
What's going on?
We're talking about Donald Trump.
If you know somebody who's a Donald Trump supporter, how do you feel about him?
Man, I don't feel no type of way
about them. I think that
that's what they
want to support.
So you could
marry somebody you would say who was a Trump
supporter or be just best friends?
I mean, why not?
We marry people every day that hate our friends.
Hate our friends?
Why not? I'm just wondering. I wouldn't say I marry people that hate our friends. Hate our friends? Why not? I'm just wondering.
I wouldn't say I marry people that hate my friends, you know,
but for somebody like Donald Trump that I feel really like.
That's kind of a red flag, right?
Yeah, doesn't like my community and some of the racist things he said
and some of the agendas he pushed, you know,
it kind of makes me feel a little funny.
Don't you agree?
I don't agree.
I mean, I don't agree.
People say things, you know what's funny that amazes me?
Us as African-Americans say the most hateful things against us.
And for a person to say something that,
I can't even take his words out of context unless I heard him say it.
Like what?
Like the fact that he retweeted the guy saying white supremacy?
How was that taken out of context?
White power.
I mean,
people say things every day
that don't mean they're racist.
They don't mean they're racist.
So if you say racist things,
it doesn't make you racist?
Was that racist
or was it a feeling
of being thinking he's racist?
So what makes someone a racist to you?
I mean, the question is,
would I feel a certain way if a person supports Trump?
It's not about what I think is racist.
If a person supports Trump, that's their thing.
I don't have to support Trump.
I'm not going to look at them different because they support Trump.
Okay.
All right.
That's your opinion.
That's it.
All right.
Well, thank you, brother.
I mean, it's just the way that I think.
What's the moral of the story, Yeezy?
The moral of the story is it's easy to say do you,
except when doing you affects us in such a negative way.
And we've been seeing that happening so much right now with police brutality,
with all of the hate that's going around, with all these Karens feeling empowered to call the police, thinking that people will get arrested.
We're seeing what happens when people do call the police for no reason on black people.
We're seeing all the divisiveness in the country.
It's hard to say, do you?
Yeah, I can't.
It just makes me feel funny just to see what Trump says, what he does, how he feels about my people, to support
somebody or want to be around somebody that supports that. Me personally, I just can't.
And you know what? I have the right to. I don't need you around me. I don't want you around me.
That's just the way that I feel. But anyway, keep it locked. 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 Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
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.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
The Breakfast Club. Rest in peace
Chadwick Boseman. He
came on The Breakfast Club numerous times, and
we wanted to get this back on today when he
talked about Black Panther.
He came up here and talked about all the great things that he's doing.
Check it out.
What's happening, my brother?
Everything is great.
Pressure's on, man.
You think so?
I mean, it's good pressure, though.
Yeah.
It's good pressure, and, you know,
I remember reading one time that you said
you skipped the Civil War premiere because it felt too big.
So if Civil War felt too big, how did you get used to this?
It was, you know what, it was
I had to work my
way into it. I had to work my way into
it. And, you know,
when you go to those Marvel
premieres, the ones in LA,
they take up blocks and blocks and blocks.
And I was just like, you know what, I'm going to sit this out
this time.
I went to Age of Ultron.
You know, I saw what it was like.
I went to Doctor Strange.
And so I think it got me to the place where I was like, I'm ready for mine now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm sure Marvel would be disappointed if you didn't show up.
To my own.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Like, dude, what are you doing?
Yeah, ours was festive, too.
Ours was, it was an amazing experience.
You know, we had, you know, everybody was dressed to the nines in their African gear.
We all had Instagram.
We saw it.
It was beautiful, man.
It was beautiful.
You suffer from anxiety?
Anxiety about what?
Just in general.
Like, just about life.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I'm having a good, it's a good time.
You know, four years ago, we had you up here and I asked you if you were playing Black Panther.
And you had the worst poker face known to man.
I didn't know.
I didn't know.
I didn't know at that point in time that I had no idea.
The events that led to this, you know,
what I do is I give you credit for being prophetic about it.
Okay.
All right.
You heard it first.
Give me my credit.
I like my credit.
You are Charlamagne Tha God, right? You Charlamagne Tha God, right? Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. Claim it. Claim You heard it first. Give me my credit. I like my credit. You are Charlamagne Tha Guy, right?
You Charlamagne Tha Guy, right?
Absolutely.
Yeah, yeah.
Claim it.
Claim it.
You know?
It's been a couple of people that predicted this.
I'll say you're one of them.
There you go.
How long did you have to keep it a secret when you found out?
It was like two and a half months.
That's a long time to not be able to.
It was, yeah, yeah.
It was two and a half months.
Like, my mama didn't know.
Wow.
Really?
Nobody knew.
Because your mom probably
would have told everybody.
Yeah, like, you know what?
Well, how the hell did I find out?
What do you mean,
how did you find out?
I'm trying to think
how did I,
well, I didn't find out,
but I kind of knew.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He wants to go back to him
being a prophet.
I'm just trying to think
where did I see that?
I don't remember.
You know before other people know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Before Chadwick. Yeah, before
I knew. That's amazing.
What made you want to commit to that character? To Panther?
Yeah. The funny thing is, when you
said it, it wasn't something that
was outside of
my scope. It was something
that I had been thinking about for a few years.
I had a few incidents
that they led me to
back to the comic book.
It was a cross, a chicaner
in Peru that has
the condor.
It has the puma
and a serpent on it.
And so that
the puma is a black panther.
So you're there in Machu Picchu
which is sort of a lost city and it reminded me of Wakanda.
It reminded me of the idea of Wakanda.
There's been various different trips that I took that made me think of Wakanda.
So I had notes written about what a Black Panther movie would be like even before I was cast.
So when you said it, it was like, you know what?
That would be good
if that happened one day.
I think this is one of those
really, really special moments,
you know,
in history and art
where things just sort of
come together
in a way that you can't explain.
Yeah, I saw you say
that Black Panther
is a cultural moment.
I think your exact quote was,
we're not remembering breaking the color barrier
How funk was created, but we are living this
Can you elaborate on that a little?
Yeah, this is
I hesitated to say this before we got here
Because we didn't know whether we had a good movie
We didn't know how people were going to respond to it
But just seeing how people have bought out theaters
You know, before they've ever seen it.
They haven't even seen what the movie is.
You've seen it.
Saw it last night.
Yeah.
They haven't even seen what the movie is.
And in some ways, when you're seeing, like,
the Black Panther Challenge, which Fred T. Joseph started,
they're living up to some of the ideas of the movie
when they do that.
That's historic.
You know, this is history being created.
In those other movies I was doing, you know, we were remembering the past.
You know, we were looking back at history.
This is, you know, a very, very present moment that takes us into what could be, you know,
a different future.
That was history recreated.
And I do love all the roles you played.
It seems like you've been really great at picking these really
impactful movies to
play in. Some of
it I picked and some of it, you know, some of it
you know, was. I liked it.
I really liked the Thurgood Marshall movie
because I honestly didn't know a lot about
Thurgood Marshall until I saw that. Right.
You know, James Brown was great. Jackie
Robinson, 42. Yeah. Why does
Hollywood think all black people look like Chadwick Boseman?
They don't.
They don't think we all look alike.
They think we all look like you.
They don't.
They don't.
That's funny.
I had so many biopics after 42 to come at me.
You know, so many scripts that, like, if I told you all the different ones, I mean, hundreds of people.
And so it just so happens that those are the ones that resonated.
You know, those are the ones that, you know, I refused and wouldn't go away.
You know, Thurgood Marshall's son, John Marshall,
actually wrote me a letter that convinced me to play Thurgood Marshall
because I didn't want to do it because I was like,
he's way too light-skinned.
I can't play him.
You know, like,
nowhere in the world I could do that.
What famous black man have you turned down?
Not like that.
Don't just take that.
Yeah, let me rephrase that.
What roles of famous black men
have you turned down?
I don't want to say all of them,
you know what I'm saying?
Because...
Well, just give us one big one. Well, let me just tell you why.
I'm trying to think of one that I can't say
while I say why I won't say
most of them because you never know
as an actor
who's going to end up playing something that you
turned down. And so you don't want to
say, well,
they gave it to me first. You know what I'm saying?
You got my sloppy seconds.
You never want to do that
Because I think it always ends up with the person
That's supposed to end up with
But one of them
I'm trying to think of something
That had various different versions of
There's a Sam Cooke
These Sam Cooke movies
It was one of those versions
You know
It's a few characters Lifetime movies movies. It was one of those versions. Got you, got you, got you.
It's a few characters there. A few. Any Lifetime
movies? No.
Yes.
They ask you to do a Lifetime movie?
That must be an early, early on.
People come with everything.
No, no. People come, they
shoot their shot. You know what I'm saying?
Why not, right? It could happen. Yeah, they come with everything.
What's your guilty pleasures,
like things that you watch that you're like, damn.
Ah, man.
I'm looking at my publicist shit, I said.
Like what's must-see TV for you?
There's no, honestly, there's no must-see.
But there are times when, you know,
it's so much going on that I need, you need that mindless, you know, it's so much going on that I need,
you need that mindless, you know, sound, that mindless.
And I'm not, that's no disrespect to the shows.
So you turn VH1 on.
Yeah, I turn VH1 on.
I turn Bravo on.
You're like, what is Mimi doing?
What are they doing?
Oh, my gosh.
You have to, you know, you have to you know, you have to have some
you look at Black Ink or something like that.
You have to have some
of that sometimes.
Alright, we got more with Chadwick Boseman. When we come
back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We gotta send a rest in peace to Chadwick
Boseman.
Now, Chadwick has been on the show numerous times,
but we want to flashback today when he came to talk about Black Panthers and a lot of the other things he was doing.
Rest in peace, Chadwick Boseman.
Would you consider Black Panther a black film?
Yes and no.
Okay.
I mean, it's a lot of black people in it.
Yes.
And, you know, there's a conversation in this movie
that is an in-house conversation.
It's a conversation
that can only happen
if you are on one continent
or the other.
You know, if you...
I shouldn't even say that.
You have to be part of the diaspora.
And so as an African-American,
there's a conversation
That you're having
With the continent
As you watch this movie
The continent is having a conversation with you
There's a debate
That has probably never happened in a movie
On this stage
Ever
I know exactly the thing you're talking about
Yeah
It's never happened
And so in that conversation
People will be talking about that
I think
You know even after the movie is over And so it's definitely a black film Because never happened and so in that conversation will people will be talking about that i think you know
even after the movie is over and so it's definitely a black film because that conversation is is
happening um without regard for white people yeah you know white people are privy to it let's call
them colonizers yeah yeah yeah don't give anything. Don't give anything. No, that needs to be, yeah.
But you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's happening, and everybody's able to enjoy it
because it's so specific of a question.
So it definitely is a black film.
But what I believe truly, and it's sort of a Tolstoy idea,
is that the more specific you are in your artistry, the more universal they become.
So the more I go into a particular culture, which is what we try to do because we didn't want to do like a generalized Africa.
You needed to be able to pull from, you know, the whole continent in order
to create this fictitious African
nation. And so they're very, very
real concepts and rituals and
ideas and like, even in the
design, you know, if you see the
skyscrapers in the movie, those
are actual,
you know, architectural,
you know,
images that you see in Africa.
And so we wanted to pull from real things.
I think when you do that, people recognize things as being real
and they can identify with it more.
So that's why you see people from all over the world.
Like we were in Korea and people were coming in wearing their own traditional garb.
Yeah.
Just to greet us.
You know, that's how they felt about the movie
because they saw us doing the same thing.
Now, for someone who's not knowledgeable, like myself,
about Marvel, Black Panther,
is this a movie, when I go see it,
I'll be able to know what's going on,
what's happening without having the background?
Yeah, the exposition is clear.
Okay.
You know, I think within the first five minutes,
you have the background of what Wakanda is
and even
how it relates to the
last movie. It connects
to Civil War.
You met my character in
Captain America Civil War.
So I think all the exposition
is very clear.
I'm sure there's a lot of people going to see this that might have never gone So I think all the exposition is very clear, you know, and I don't think it'd be lost.
I'm sure there's a lot of people going to see this that might have never gone to see a Marvel movie before.
You think?
Yeah, there will be some people, you know, I hope so.
Yeah.
I hope so.
Because this makes people go back and say, okay, let me see what I missed before this.
Just don't treat it like a sports game.
You know how you be watching sports with somebody who don't watch sports and they be like, what's that?
What is that?
Did he just score a touchdown?
No, you won't do that. You won't do that. You know how you be watching sports with somebody who don't watch sports and they be like, what's that? Did he just score a touchdown? No, you won't do that.
You won't do that. I think the
opening of the movie is very smart
in the way that it
keeps everything
enclosed in this movie.
You don't need
to have prior information. How many times have you
seen the movie at this point? I can't
answer that.
Did it exceed your expectations?
That's complicated.
Yeah, it lives up to it.
It's different for me
because, you know,
as an actor,
you always go in,
you know,
you know how many takes
you did of this scene,
how many takes,
you know what they chose
and what they didn't choose.
So you're trying to deal with
you know
the movie that
that you shot
versus the movie
that ends up on the screen
the first few times
you see it
so
overall
I'm very very happy
with what we've done
but then there's a
there's a part of me
that is
that is
always going to be critical
always analyzing
the process
so that the next time you do it,
you have more of a way you want to tackle it.
But that's just the strategy of doing anything.
You always, you're thinking of new ways
you're going to do what you do.
Absolutely.
Everybody is.
But you can still be happy with the final project.
I want to thank you
for confirming that
there is a sequel too
because you said
the next time...
The next time?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I didn't confirm that.
I didn't confirm that.
I want to go back
to what you talked about
with a black film
because you said yes and no.
What makes a film
a black film?
It's like you know
when somebody is authentic.
I think that's part of what I'm talking about here.
Ryan Coogler is very authentic.
Absolutely.
He makes films because he connects with them.
I think he found his stamp and put it on this film.
And he's very clear about his position, I think, in his journey in this film. And he's very clear about his position, I think,
in his journey in this film
and trying to connect to Africa.
And Oakland.
And Oakland.
He finds a way to put Oakland in everything.
Yeah.
Flute to ride.
I hesitate sometimes when people say it's black
because they feel like that's a limitation. A lot of people feel that way. I don they feel like that's a limitation.
A lot of people feel that way.
I don't feel like that's a limitation.
I feel like it could be a black film and also just be a good film.
You know, it could just be a film at the same time.
This is just a film and it's authentically black.
Yeah, because the little bit of negativity
that I'm seeing from people is,
oh, but it's a black cast,
but they're just using black people
to make white people at Disney all of this money.
Honestly, who cares?
At the end of the day,
filmmaking is a commercial art.
If you don't make art when you make movies, if you don't make art when you make movies,
if you don't make money when you make movies,
then you can't make movies.
That's what it is.
And this kind of sets the precedent
because it shows the value of having black people
play these lead roles.
Black director.
Yeah, all of that.
And now that's like, okay, we got to do more of this.
I'm assuming that the person you're talking about
who said that was black.
Yes, of course.
You got to be careful
of being racist
against yourself, right?
Because a lot of times
people see the name
on the outside of a building
and they make the assumption
that there's a bunch
of white people
sitting around a table, right?
They haven't been
in the building.
So they don't know
who's in there.
They don't know that one of the the the the the shot callers that one of the head producers.
Great point. At Marvel is black. They don't know. They don't know Nate Moore.
You know what I'm saying? So if you don't know who behind who's behind the walls, you can't make an assumption that the person calling the shots
is they don't know
that one of their head producers
is a woman, you know,
that it's Victoria.
Like, it's one of the things
that, you know,
being racist against yourself
and saying, oh, they,
you don't know who they is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't know.
This is all about the people,
you know.
It's not about
the names on the studios.
You can't make assumptions about
things because
it just...
I'm done.
One last thing on that. What do you think of this petition
that's going around that wants to get...
They're trying to get Marvel to give 25% of proceeds
from Black Panther to the black community.
This is a real thing
i mean it's not gonna happen
that's what i think about it you know sometimes when you make art you've already given what you're
supposed to get yeah that's that's how i feel about it you know they can um do that and um
they have overhead
that they have to cover.
Yeah.
Everybody has overhead.
Even if you're not a business,
you got overhead.
And so,
in order for them
to continue to make movies,
you know,
they have to make money off of it.
The way I explained it is,
Ryan is going to continue,
after this,
he's going to be one of the biggest directors,
if not biggest director in Hollywood.
Right.
He's going to continue
to empower black people.
You're going to continue to empower black people. Michael. Michael He's going to continue to empower black people. You're going to continue to empower black people.
Michael.
Michael B. Jordan's going to continue to empower black people.
Lupita.
So that's the win.
That's the win.
That's the win.
It's one of those things where people have to understand how business works.
And, you know, I didn't even do a GoFundMe in South Carolina.
I just, you know, bought it.
Right.
Yeah.
I didn't ask nobody else to do it.
I have the power to do that because I'm doing this film,
so I get to give back.
I don't have to ask Marvel to give back.
You know?
All right, we have more with Chadwick Boseman.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
People around the world are mourning the loss of actor Chadwick Boseman.
Invest in the importance of this moment.
The 43-year-old died after privately battling
colon cancer. Savor the taste of your triumph. Chadwick Bozeman was just 43 years old. He,
of course, starred in Black Panther. I am not king of all people. I am king of Wakanda.
Chadwick Bozeman rose to fame playing American icons.
Other roles included Jackie Robinson.
You want a player who doesn't have the guts to fight back?
James Brown.
If it sound good and it feel good, then it's musical.
Thurgood Marshall.
The NAACP were not like most lawyers.
Spike Lee's The Five Bloods.
We was the very first people to die for this red, white, and blue.
Chadwick was
a visionary, a true hero, and
someone that is the definition of a role model.
Whatever you choose for a career path,
remember the struggles along the
way are only meant
to shape you for your purpose.
People asking me if I want to run
for president. That's because I play
a world leader in the movie. They think I want to be
the leader of the free world. Why would I go from being a serious actor
to doing reality TV?
-♪ I follow, I Brooklyn Dodger them
I check, I rob, I send
Aw, man, I'm Jackie Robinson
Except when I run base, I dodge the pen.
Chadwick, you said that it's an awesome responsibility
to play Jackie Robinson.
Explain. There were a lot of people who viewed him as a hero, that know him very well,
and they would be let down if I didn't live up to those expectations.
Really just concentrated on the family as just pleasing them.
If there's anybody you should seek approval from, it's from them.
Maybe tomorrow we'll all wear 42.
That way they won't tell us apart.
I love you, Chadwick.
Wakanda forever.
Chadwick allowed little black boys and black girls to see themselves as kings, as queens, as superheroes.
He is a true cultural icon.
Look down over what you conquered and appreciate what God has brought you through.
Purpose is an essential element of you.
It is the reason you are on the planet at this particular time in history.
Your very existence is wrapped up in the things you are here to fulfill.
Press on with pride, with purpose.
God bless you.
I love you forever.
Rest in power.
Chadwick Boseman.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have Chadwick Boseman in the building.
Charlamagne? So in real life are The Breakfast Club. We have Chadwick Bozeman in the building. Charlamagne?
So in real life, who would you have
agreed with more? T'Challa or Killmonger?
Well, as an African American,
I connect with Killmonger.
That's how I feel too.
I don't like the way he treated people.
As an African American,
I have both sides.
I have a huge family.
I have a lot of the traits of T'Challa.
But as African-Americans, we've been severed from our past.
We've been severed from the continent in a way where we're reaching for a connection to it.
So he has the he has the market demarcations on his body.
But he doesn't have like a real ritual connection to those demarcations.
He made it into something else.
And so I think we're all searching for things because we are looking for those rites of passages that have been left behind.
T'Challa has a tradition and he has a connection to his ancestors that I long for.
I long for that.
And I feel like Killmonger longs.
They're two sides of the same coin.
Yeah.
But as an African-American, you're always going to feel like until you make that connection
that there's a disconnect there.
What I did is I took a DNA test.
Me too.
So where are you from? I'm 97% East African. West African. No, see, that's the disconnect there. What I did is I took a DNA test. Me too. So where are you from?
I'm 97% East African.
West African.
No, see, that's the wrong test.
You took Ancestry.com.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I took African Ancestry.com.
What's the difference?
So African Ancestry can tell you the specific ethnic group that you come from.
So if you just know the country,
that's still the European borders
to a certain degree.
Gotcha.
But if you know that you're Yoruba
from Nigeria,
then you can,
now you can pinpoint
specific customs and rituals
that are part of your past.
I need to do that.
They just told me I was 97% West African,
which made sense
because if you go to Charleston,
they're building
an African-American arts museum
on this plot of land,
and that plot of land
was the dock
that 60-something percent
of all slaves in America
came through.
Right.
Yeah, so that makes sense.
And then they said if you look,
I mean, it sounds crazy,
like Sarah Palin
looking at a Russian from Alaska,
but if you look straight,
you can see from Charleston,
it's a straight path to West Africa.
Right.
That's what they say.
Yeah, it was one of the direct stops along the way.
What would it take for black people to build on Wakanda?
I feel like Wakanda is an idea that is very real.
I mean, in terms of, you know,
I think there should be a connection to technology and math
when people see this movie.
I think people are going to be inspired by Cherie's character.
And, you know, I think people will be inspired by, you know, a connection to tradition in a way that hasn't happened.
You know, I don't really know what's going to happen after people see this movie.
But hopefully people will begin to look.
If they do that DNA test, in other words,
and find where they're specifically from and make those connections,
that's going to be a path in and of itself.
Absolutely.
Each person can find their own Wakanda
based upon the things that they do after this movie.
But it's kind of up to you.
Did this movie
change your life
after you filmed it?
Like take some pieces
of things that you learned
while you were doing it
or from acting
that you're like,
I'm a different person
in some ways now?
Every movie does.
There's a little bit
of James Brown
still left.
Yeah, you're a better
dancer now.
I'm a better dancer now,
but even more than that
probably a better
business person now
you know
a little bit of
Jackie Robinson
a little bit of
Thurgood Marshall
so
it's always gonna be
something from a movie
that you take with you
but this is one
that I'm still
that's a character
I'm still working on
you know
so it remains to be seen
what all the things will be.
That's kind of it for you, bro.
Like, what do you do?
Like, what do you do after Black Panther?
Don't say it like that.
I mean, I don't mean it like that.
But you got a five.
Your career's done.
No, no, you got a five film deal.
And this is a big character.
Like, this is like an iconic character
that we haven't seen in our generation in a long time.
Like, where do you go from here?
You gotta do something smaller.
Independent film.
You do.
You have to do something smaller.
You have to do something that is,
exactly, independent film.
Something that...
You wrote, directed, and starred in.
No, no, not necessarily.
Not necessarily that.
But I think you have to do something smaller.
You have to do something that gets you back to just the ground floor of what acting is.
What about theater?
Could be a play too.
I'm not saying that I won't do another blockbuster movie.
You definitely want to find those smaller movies that you can do to sort of balance out, you know, the bigger ones.
Right.
Do you think that they will explore the relationship between Storm and T'Challa at some point in
the future?
I don't know.
Especially with everybody merging now, Fox and Disney and all that other good stuff?
Let me tell you, let me tell you, like, there's a few reasons why I can't answer that. But Lupita is going to kill me if we don't end up together in the movie.
She literally told me, she was like, if they try to bring Storm in this,
she's like, I'm going to turn into a villain.
Because Black Panther and Storm were married in the comics.
I know.
I know.
Yeah, I have no way
of knowing
what they're going to do.
Yeah, right.
Just like you told me
in 2014.
What do you want people
to take from Black Panther, man?
I hope people are proud
when they finish
watching the movie.
That's how I felt.
Yeah, just,
you know, if people walk out of that movie and they're proud,
everything else will take care of itself.
And I think you're going to get what you bring.
Like, this is one of those movies where you get what you bring,
but at the same time, I think there's a certain amount of pride you should have
from just the exploration within this, the
questions that are asked and the debate, you know, and even just the way we're depicted.
But I think it's really the debate that actually happens.
I think you should, I hope people feel proud that that happened on this stage.
Yeah, I think it adds to the conversation of black pride.
You know what I mean?
Because, you know, I called my book Black Privilege
because I said it's a privilege to be black.
Which I love.
I love, by the way, yeah.
Thank you.
And I feel like Black Panther is adding to that.
Like, yo, this is how dope we could be.
Mm-hmm.
And even how dope we are.
It's how dope we are.
It's fantasy, but it's actually not.
You know, it's who we are. It's fantasy, but it's actually not.
It's who we are.
It's who we always have been.
There have been African empires. And so African civilization.
And so it's not a thing that we're just making up.
It's just an amalgamation put inside this fictitious world. And great for kids to see
those representations of themselves
on the big screen. Yes. Yes, indeed.
Well, Chadwick has to go because
he is promoting
a movie that's about to make well over a billion
dollars. And then he's going to have to change his
number. You know what I mean? And nobody
in Anderson will be able to reach him but his mama.
Okay.
It's Chadwick Boseman, y'all.
Y'all going to see Black Panther this weekend.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Donkey of the Day goes to the Washington football team.
I say Washington football team with a question mark.
I know when you heard me say that, you said, what is the Washington football team?
Now, I looked it up this morning.
Washington, D.C. is home to 22 flag football teams that play under the D.C. gay flag football league.
The D.C. defenders of the XFL began playing in February in D.C.
But we all know the most famous football team in D.C. is the team formerly known as the Redskins,
the fifth most valuable franchise in the NFL, now known as strictly Washington football team.
You can't make this kind of stuff up.
Let's go to Fox Business News for the report, please.
The most boring name in the history of sports.
We'll tell you that ESPN is reporting that effective immediately,
Washington, D.C.'s NFL franchise is going to be calling itself, quote,
the Washington football team, pending adoption of a new name.
Now, I've heard of unemployed people being between jobs.
I've heard of people who are moving, being between houses.
I've even heard of people of faith being between blessings.
But I've never in my life heard of a football team being between names.
All those executives up there making all that money,
none of y'all could think of anything better to do in the meantime.
Okay?
Y'all didn't have any better entertainment for the halftime show.
In fact, during this intermission, we didn't even need a performance.
We could have just went to get snacks.
Okay.
Y'all couldn't think of nothing better.
I understand Redskins is offensive.
Okay.
I'm glad they are changing the name, but, bruh, they have been the Redskins since 1933.
In fact, they were the Boston Redskins.
And then when the franchise moved to D.C. in 1937, they were the Boston Redskins. And then when the franchise moved to D.C. in 1937,
they became the Washington Redskins. So 83 years, 83 years, you have unapologetically been the
Redskins, ignoring everyone who said that name was offensive. But now all of a sudden, it's such
an immediate need to change it that you just decided to be Washington football team. Only
person who ever changed their name to nothing was Prince.
But at least Prince had an interesting symbol.
Y'all could have done that, okay?
Y'all could have said y'all the Washington football team
and then gave the world a great logo.
That could have worked for the moment.
I would have rather seen that in the meantime, okay,
than what y'all did, which is nothing.
I'm also not mad at the simplicity.
Sometimes we complicate things by giving it these extravagant names,
but you can't just, you know, be Washington football team.
You have to add a the.
So Washington the football team, like Chance the rapper,
or Benny the butcher, Tyler the creator.
The changes things. Chance rapper benny butcher tyler creator right
yeah okay washington football team that all sounds stupid but when you add a the washington
the football team that sounds kind of hard now we might have something okay redskins have a lot
of fans out there all right that that dmv area reps hard for their squad. Taraji P. Henson, Kevin Durant,
Wale, Dale Earnhardt Jr., they love their Redskins, and they deserve better than this. And furthermore,
the name should be a no-brainer, okay? You've been offending indigenous people all these years,
offending Native Americans all these years. Sit down with some Native Americans and come up with
something that they all find empowering.
And boom, you got your name.
It's really just that simple.
How is it so easy for y'all to systemically offend, but you cannot systemically uplift?
And I don't think you understand the impact that this no name change has on black and
brown people.
All right.
There is a comedian named Don L. Rollins.
You may have heard
of him ashy larry okay you know ashy larry right whenever there is a comedy show and it's like
monique and friends dave chapelle and friends he's always one of the friends yes that guy right
funny individual brings a lot of joy into people's lives and currently he is miserable all right more miserable than usual sick over washington
football team okay when you script the team's identity when you script their name you script
the identity of the fans they feel nameless they feel lost okay what are they supposed to do with
years and years of merchandise and in dc you have to be specific about what football team you're talking about
because like i told y'all earlier they have 22 flag football teams that play under the dc gay
flag football league so right now brothers like donnell rollins are not okay okay they're sick
literally in fact a welfare check had to be done on Donnell Rollins because of this no name change.
Okay, a brother who had to perform the welfare check called up and told us what happened when he had to do a welfare check on Donnell Rollins due to Washington's no name change.
Okay, listen.
I was in the hotel, and so we had to do a welfare check.
So I go in the room, and I turn the the corner and he's laying butt naked in the middle
of the bed in a fetal position.
At this point, did you know it was Donnell Rollins?
Yeah, I knew. So then after that, I
smacked the side of the wall. I'm like,
bam, I start smacking the wall. All
of a sudden, he wakes up. He's like,
oh my God!
Wow. Pray for our brother Donnell. Pray for
brother Ashy Cheeks. Pray for all
Washington fans.
Once again, Washington football team, sit with some Native Americans.
All right?
Same way you use the slur that offended Native Americans all these years,
find a name that empowers Native Americans, indigenous people.
And if you don't want to do Native Americans,
just find a name that uplifts and empowers a marginalized community.
All right?
D.C. was known as Chocolate City. All all right they're still known as chocolate city okay so maybe
name it something that empowers black people but literally all you culturally clueless executives
who work for that franchise your mindset should be we offended for 83 years with redskins let's
uplift and empower with the next name.
Simple.
Please give the Washington football team
the sweet sounds and the hammer tones.
Oh, now you are the donkey
of the day.
You are the donkey
of the day.
Yee-haw. Yee-haw.
Yee-haw.
Yes, man.
And please, man, pray for Donnell Rollins.
Today, let's do hashtag pray for ashy cheeks.
Hashtag pray for ashy cheeks.
I mean, just we want to send some positive vibes, you know.
Okay.
Go to Donnell Rollins on Instagram.
You know what I'm saying?
He's not really active on Twitter. So, to Donnell Rollins on Instagram. You know what I'm saying? He's not really active on
Twitter, so at Donnell Rollins on Instagram
and, you know, just go into whatever his
latest pictures are, the pictures he posts
all day and just put hashtag
pray for ashy cheeks. You know what I mean?
Brother, they had to do a welfare check on our
brother because of this name change. Some people take this
take these name changes seriously,
man. Alright.
He's seven years old.
He's been a Redskins fan for a long time.
He sure has.
All right, well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
That's right, and please, pray for ashy cheeks, man.
All right, we got more coming up next.
We're The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own
country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's
surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am
the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tribe own country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a racket 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.

We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about NBA Youngboy.
Now, fill people in.
What happened to you?
Well, apparently there was an incident at NBA Youngboy's house,
and his girlfriend, Ayanna Mayweather, who is Floyd Mayweather's daughter,
was arrested for stabbing the mother of his child.
And so then reports came out, and somebody on Gossip in the City,
they said that young boy was fully cooperating with authorities in the matter.
Even though Kodak Black is in jail, he got wind of this.
And, you know, he said on social media, the hell they mean, fully cooperated.
And they didn't say a little piece.
They said fully.
Anyway, that word ain't even supposed to be attached to your name.
And then NBA Youngboy and Kodak Black had a back and forth
with NBA Youngboy saying this on his Instagram Live.
I cooperated.
Oh, what?
You stupid bitch.
About my wife?
Huh?
You talking about my wife?
Inside my house that I paid for?
Now her ass dead in the house?
Huh?
And now her ass dead? I ain't? And now her bitch ass dead in...
I ain't never accepted not one thing for money in my life.
Why?
Because y'all be playing with me
like I need a girl for something.
Nah, I give her anything she ever ask me for.
I ain't never ask her for nothing.
She bought me two pair of shoes.
I ain't think I ever wore a pair of them bitches,
but with them black Chanel shoes.
So, the question is,
800-585-1051.
Now, your daughter,
boyfriend call you
a bitch ass N-word.
What you doing?
That is the question.
Now let's start with you
because you had a good point.
Yes, I am a daughter
and I remember times in my life
when I was very rebellious
toward my parents
and it didn't matter
what they said or did.
Didn't matter what kind
of conversations
they tried to have with me.
It didn't matter.
I definitely was always taking my boyfriend's side.
And actually, that's why I had to move out of my house at a young age
because I was not trying to listen to anything they had to say once I was in college.
And sometimes it's not bad parenting necessarily.
It's just a rebellious thing that, you know, daughters do.
The more your parents try to tell you to stay away from somebody,
the more you want to be with that person.
Maybe I'm naive.
I just don't see that with my daughters.
Maybe I'm naive.
We just have a great relationship.
I just woke my daughter up for class.
Like, we have a relationship where I can't see any other human being,
not even just a boyfriend, any human being,
calling her daddy a bitch-ass and her letting that slide.
Well, now, nobody's ever done that.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't know how I would have reacted, but they definitely have told me to leave a person
alone that wasn't good for me.
They were absolutely right about it.
And I was like, no.
I think he is talking about two different things.
This is just me being rebellious and disrespect.
You know what I'm saying?
And the thing about this situation to me, it's a lot.
It got to be a lot of pillow talking going on.
And the reason the NBA young boy doesn't respect Floyd Mayweather is because clearly she doesn't respect Floyd Mayweather.
It's something that she's saying to him and relaying to him that makes him feel comfortable to be able to say that.
You know what I'm saying?
And that really broke my heart.
In the public, it looked like they had a good relationship prior to this, though.
They were together a lot.
He bought her two cars on her 14th birthday,
bought her that $5 million ring.
She was always posting pictures with her dad.
So I don't know where all that,
but she was always posting great pictures with him.
Listen to what you just said, G.
And listen, I don't know their relationship at all.
I'm just saying that it sounds to me like
you can't buy your child's love.
You know what I'm saying?
Or respect.
You can't do it. Or love. You know what I'm saying? Or respect. You can't do it.
Or respect.
And I got three daughters.
I'm just saying, she posted very positive things with her father prior to this.
It wasn't like it seemed like they had issues.
I don't know.
So we don't know.
I just know having three daughters and, you know,
knowing that there's nothing like the love of your daughter to receive,
the opposite of that, man, that's got to hurt.
Nah, I can't. that's got to hurt.
It's got to hurt.
I can't even see it.
Now, let me ask you, now, what would you do in that situation?
That's the question.
Now, what do you do if it does happen?
What do you do?
I mean, you're Floyd Mayweather.
What can you do?
I mean, I would be more concerned that I lost my little girl to the streets.
You know what I'm saying?
And I've made, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars, and I've tried to put her in a position to really, really, really win in life
and not to be on Instagram live videos
with NBA Youngboy looking like she's from Orlando.
No disrespect to the women in Orlando,
but we've seen those kind of colored wigs
in Orlando all the time.
Salute to Orlando.
Love you, Florida.
Telling you the truth.
I would have to pull up
because I'd have to have a conversation.
You're not going to disrespect me and disrespect my daughter. I'd have to make sure my
daughter looked okay because she did look a little frazzled
in the background. I would have to make sure the safety of my daughter
was okay.
You said frazzled?
I mean, she just went
to jail for stabbing somebody.
I didn't say that. By the way,
that's the other.
I mean, that's the more alarming part.
No, all of it is alarming.
Because clearly this young man is making her do things that don't look like my little girl.
That's not the little girl I raised.
I would think.
That's what I would think.
I got to check up on her.
I got to make sure she's all right.
Because something doesn't seem right.
I will say, though, NBA Youngboy is my favorite to watch from afar.
I don't want to be around him.
I don't want to be in the same building as him.
But I love watching that wild Negro on the digital safari that is Instagram.
He is entertaining.
Oh, my goodness.
And they be on him so bad.
So bad.
Sometimes, though, man, because, you know, the kids love his music.
I just want them to continue to love his music and not love some of those antics.
But let's go to the full ones.
And he got herpes.
He's normalizing herpes, man.
He raps about herpes.
What does that got to do with it?
Listen, he raps about herpes, and he still sleeps with all these girls,
and they are still embracing him with open arms.
Hey, man, he's the new Toxic King.
Move over, future.
Hello, who's this?
This is Nicolette.
Hey, Nicolette.
Now, what would you do if your boyfriend called your daddy a bitch ass N-word?
Well, first and foremost, if that was my daddy, I would have just had to bite that
and we wouldn't have to fight it out right then and there.
Well, I'm not going to incite violence.
I wouldn't have fought him right off the rip.
But, you know, I would have told him, hey, hold on.
We're going to have to cut that because you can't be calling
my daddy B-words and none of that. I don't care
what me and my daddy go through. You are not
going to embarrass my father out here,
especially if my father's a celebrity,
a high-profile celebrity at that. No way.
Well, clearly she don't have respect
for him. Huh?
I said clearly she don't have respect for her daddy.
That doesn't have to mean that. She might be
scared of him. I mean, I've seen the video. I've seen the video last night, and she just kind have respect for her daddy. That doesn't have to mean that. She might be scared of him.
I saw the video last night, and she just kind of sat there looking stupid.
And I said, oh, my Lord have mercy.
Her daddy is going to surround her after this video is done.
I hope that's not the case.
Lord knows she's going to do better for her daddy, man.
She just went through a lot, though, y'all.
She got arrested, just got out.
She stabbed somebody. I mean, she probably wasn't even in her right mind at that moment
Just woke up
She could be scared
She might not want to say something because maybe she's scared
Also it's kind of crazy to say she went through a lot
What about the person she stabbed
I'm just saying
I mean we're talking about her not responding
And I'm thinking that she probably has a lot going on in her head
Well let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 I mean, we're talking about her not responding, and I'm thinking that she probably has a lot going on in her head.
Well, let's open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
What would you do if your daughter's boyfriend called you a bitch-ass end?
And ladies, if you were that girl, if you were the daughter in that situation,
what would you do?
Call us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning. I know it now.
I know it now.
I know it now.
I know it now.
I know it now.
That kid don't even deal with that. Call me. And your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic.
Come on.
800-585-1051.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about NBA Youngboy.
Explain to the people what happened over the weekend, Yee. Yeah, so Floyd Mayweather's daughter, Ayanna May us, we're talking about NBA Youngboy. Explain to the people what happened over the weekend, yay?
Yeah, so Floyd Mayweather's daughter,
Ayanna Mayweather,
has been dating NBA Youngboy.
Maybe they're engaged
because they refer to each other
as fiancés.
And Ayanna ended up getting arrested
after stabbing a woman
who was NBA Youngboy's baby mom
at the house.
And after she came home,
you know, NBA Youngboy
was going back and forth
with Kodak Black
because on Gossip in the City,
they said that he
cooperated fully with authorities
and he did not like that Kodak Black was going
in on him for that. And here's how NBA
Youngboy responded to Kodak.
I cooperated. Oh, what?
You stupid bitch.
About my wife? Huh?
You talking about my wife? Inside my
house that I paid for? Now her
ass dead in the... Huh? And now her ass dead in... I ain't never accepted not one thing for money in my wife. Inside my house that I paid for. Now her bitch ass dead in the...
Huh?
And now her bitch ass dead in...
I ain't never accepted not one thing for money in my life.
Why?
Because y'all be playing with me.
Like I need a girl for something.
Nah, I give her anything she ever ask me for.
I ain't never ask her for nothing.
She bought me two pair of shoes.
I ain't think I ever wore a pair of them bitches.
But with them black Chanel shoes.
I'm not going to lie, man.
That really hurt my feelings, man.
Because I'm a father.
And it just seems like, you know, he lost his little girl to the streets.
And it's like when you got all the money Floyd Mayweather has made,
it just kind of shows you that money doesn't matter when it comes to your kids.
Like you got to give them love.
You got to give them time.
And you got to give them respect.
And you hope that respect will be reciprocated.
Because in this case, it doesn't seem like it was at all.
And I couldn't imagine any of my daughters co-signing something like that.
No, not at all.
And money means nothing when it comes to your children's relationship.
They don't care about no cars or no jewelry or no clothes.
They care about the love.
And that's one thing I would say that the best thing about this quarantine is I get to spend a lot more time with my sons and daughters here.
Like, I really enjoy the time.
I'm really getting into their work.
I'm really getting into who they are as a person.
Like, we're spending time. And I love that. But let's go to the view. Imagine your daughter. One, I really enjoy the time. I'm really getting into their work. I'm really getting into who they are as a person. Like, we're spending time
and I love that.
But let's go to the...
Can you imagine your daughter...
One more thing I want to say, though.
Let's keep it real, though.
You see a lot of good girls
with bad guys all the time.
Like, that's the, quote,
stereotypical thing that happens.
It doesn't even matter, like,
how sometimes you raise your daughter,
you teach them the right thing,
they go to the right schools,
they have money,
they're raised right.
Sometimes there's just nothing you can do about it.
I think we keep missing the point, though.
It's not the fact that she's with a bad guy.
It's the fact that she let that bad guy disrespect her daddy in that way.
Like, you can be with a bad guy, but the disrespect is crazy.
And not even saying that, but what I'm saying is sometimes you just get so blinded by the person that you're with
that no matter what they say or do
and no matter how much you rebel
against your parents even more when they try to tell you
he's not right for you, stay away
from him, it makes you take that person's side even
more. Yeah, but not to disrespect them.
Not to disrespect them.
You can take the side, but not disrespect.
And I think it's something that's making
an NBA young boy feel comfortable
disrespecting her daddy, and I think that's something that's making an NBA young boy feel comfortable disrespecting her daddy.
And I think that something is actually her.
But that's just, you know.
Well, let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, man.
It's F.A., man, from Glencoe, Long Island, man.
What's going on, man?
Long Island, what's popping?
Now, we're asking, what would you do if your daughter's boyfriend called you a bitch A.N.?
Hey, yo, listen, man.
I'm saying like this.
Being a father of seven men, I got four girls and three boys.
You know what I mean?
Ranging from the ages of 25 and my youngest being seven.
You know what I mean?
All right, Super Spur.
Yeah, yeah, Super Spur.
You can say that.
You can say that.
I put in a lot of work, man.
You know what I mean?
I put in a lot of work with my kids, man.
You know what I mean?
My boys went to St. Dominic's High School.
You know what I mean?
That's a private school. You know what I mean? My boys went to St. Dominic's High School. You know what I mean? That's a private school.
You know what I mean?
My daughter's on an honor roll.
My daughter just gave the speech
at her graduation last year, man.
You know what I mean?
I put in work.
Bro, what would you do, bro?
What would you do?
This new generation, man.
You gotta understand.
This new generation,
they on their own ways, man.
They gonna do what they wanna do, man.
You can't blame boys for that.
I'm not gonna blame you for that either.
What I would do is, what I would do is talk want to do, man. You can't blame Floyd for that. I'm not going to blame you for that either. What I would do is
what I would do is talk to my
daughter, see where her mind is at,
try to get her right,
and try to alleviate the
situation and get away from that, man, because you know
what I mean? Floyd can't
put his future at risk
because of that. Come on, man. No, we can't
do that. I agree with you.
If I was Floyd Mayweather, none of my energy would go to NBA Youngboy.
All my energy would go to my daughter.
I know.
I'm trying to see what a disconnect is.
You got to have a conversation with that young man, too.
He might have.
Especially with him being around your daughter.
Because you don't know what his mental is.
You just want to make sure your daughter is safe.
So I would have to have that conversation.
But thank you for your call, brother.
Hello, who's this?
This is D.
D, what's up, bro?
What's going on, man?
Okay, well, I feel like this.
Like, if you look at it,
her mama probably was allowing this to happen with Floyd
because they come from nothing.
So she's seeing this.
Anybody who's seeing this, they're going to be like,
okay, well, my parents accepted this and still love each other.
Maybe I can accept this.
This is my first love or something.
And I feel like anything a parent do in front of their kids,
they don't want their kids to do it, but they gonna do it.
Whether you believe it or not, and your kids
is never gonna be who you want
them to be. They gonna be who they wanna be.
So if I was Floyd, I'd be like, alright, well,
if you wanna be with him, you go be with
him. Don't ask me for nothing. Don't come
to me for nothing. Sit in jail. Let him
bail you out. You do what you do. And when you're done with him, then ask me for nothing don't come to me for nothing sit in jail let him bail you out you do what you do and when you're done with him then we can build our relationship again right
by the way she's not that old i mean floyd mayweather has been rich probably her whole
life how old is she she's like 19 yeah that's what i'm saying floyd been floyd been rich her
whole life yeah but you know it's one of those things and that could be true too it could be
things that she's seen and maybe she's accepted in that relationship.
But I do know Floyd loves his kids.
And like Angelique said, it could be one of the things where she's with the boyfriend.
But like I said, she looked frazzled.
She looked a little nervous and scared.
She didn't seem like she knew what was going on.
So that's why I would have to have a conversation.
When I'm Floyd Mayweather, I'm furious for so many reasons.
But I'm very upset because I make too much money for you to be in bed with NBA Youngboy with a raggy lace front.
We got to have a conversation.
Oh, shut up.
And then, you know, the stylist posted a picture of the wig and showed the wig.
You look all nice and laid.
I don't know if you've seen it.
I don't know why.
It's so crazy what people be thinking about.
I saw that.
But it was nice.
It looked good.
But she just got into a fight.
Like, what do you expect?
She went to jail for stabbing somebody this weekend,
and that's what's on your mind?
How your work look?
Let me show y'all.
This lace front was laid when I first put it in.
Well, too many people were making jokes about that, I guess.
The person was like, I don't want my work to be misrepresented.
Well, let's go to the phone lines.
She did look like she was from Orlando.
What's wrong with people from Orlando and their hair, man?
What's wrong with Orlando?
800-58. What, Koya got pink wigs? their hair, man? What's wrong? I love Milando. 800-581-
What, Koya got pink wigs?
How many colored lace fronts Koya got?
Be honest.
How many colored lace fronts she got?
I've never seen her with one.
You're always looking amazing.
800-585-1051.
We'll take some more calls when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's topic time.
Call Bigger Than Phone, baby. Good morning. It's topic time.
Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Let's talk about it.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about NBA Youngboy.
Explain to the people what happened over the weekend, Yee. Yes, so Ayanna Mayweather, who's Floyd Mayweather's daughter
and also NBA Youngboy's, quote,
fiancé, she was arrested
for stabbing NBA Youngboy's baby
mother. Well, Kodak Black then
took it upon himself to comment
on Gossip of the City. They put up a blog
post saying that NBA Youngboy was fully
cooperating with authorities and
NBA Youngboy then blasted back at Kodak Black saying this.boy was fully cooperating with authorities and NBA Youngboy then blasted
back at Kodak Black saying this. Y'all says daddy? I ain't never accepted not one thing for money in my life. Why? Because y'all be playing with me like I need a girl for something.
Nah, I give her anything she ever asked me for.
I ain't never asked her for nothing.
She bought me two pair of shoes.
I ain't think I ever wore a pair of them bitches, but with them black Chanel shoes.
So we're asking 800-585-1051.
What would you do if your daughter's boyfriend called you a bitch A.N.?
All right.
Hello, who's this?
This is Brandon. Brandon. Now, what would you do if your daughter's boyfriend called you a bitch A.N.? All right, hello, who's this? This is Brandon.
Brandon, now what would you do if your daughter's boyfriend
called you a bunch of nasty negative names, man?
Well, first of all, he talking to me.
He ain't talking to her.
So, you know, I had to handle that situation.
I think I had to take a hammer to the bottom of his jaw.
Goodness gracious.
Okay, Floyd can't do that because he's a boxer.
So he's trying to go to jail.
And it's not worth it.
I mean, he can. It's not worth it. It's not worth it, but he can do that because he's a boxer. So he's trying to go to jail. And it's not worth it. I mean, he can.
It's not worth it.
It's not worth it, but he can do it if he wanted to.
But he's talking to me, though.
I'm a person that chooses violence over anything.
This is not the right conversation.
Listen, some fathers will feel like that.
You're talking about people who are little girls, man.
I get it, too, because I'm going to have a conversation with that young man.
Yeah, I got four daughters. so I have my daughter with rebellious, you know.
I had to have a conversation with one of the dudes.
So, you know, some people understand voices.
Other people understand hands on hands.
You had to put hands on your girl?
Did that make your daughter leave him alone?
Oh, yeah.
She good now.
She on the straight and narrow now.
Did you beat his ass?
Oh, twisting. She's good now. She's on the straight and narrow now. Did you beat his ass? Oh, twisting him up.
Ah!
All right, well, thank you, bro.
Let me ask you a question, Charlemagne.
I mean, you don't seem like you had all your marbles early on.
Did your wife...
I've never been on...
Let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something.
It's levels to this niggatry.
I ain't never been NBA young boy level.
I'm going to tell you that right now.
I ain't never been that far.
It's levels to this is negatry.
All right, let's go to one more caller.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, what up?
What's good with it, man?
What up, bro?
What's your name?
Yo, my name's Spector, man.
What's the word?
You're talking mad close to your phone.
Just back up a little bit so we can hear you, brother.
I know, man.
What would you do if your daughter's boyfriend did that, man?
Yo, first of all, man, I'd have to smack the shit out of my daughter.
What?
Because, yeah, man, because you ain't going to have to explain.
I got to have people.
But for real, I'd have to check my daughter and find out how she let somebody else disrespect me or any type of man like that.
You know what I'm saying?
All right, well, I wouldn't advise slapping your daughter.
I don't think that's going to work.
That's going to push your daughter further away, bro.
Let me tell you something.
I don't even hit my daughters, man.
Because I got a thing about it.
Yeah, you can't.
No man feel like it's okay to hit my girls.
And I don't even hit my girls.
I got two.
You know what I'm saying?
So I don't even put my hands on them.
You know what I mean?
All right.
So I would dance around and not allow anybody else to put their hands on them, man.
I was just playing it.
But I don't know.
But like, nah, I'm going to have to find out what's going on and check that, though.
All right.
If you're comfortable enough to talk to me in that type of manner,
then what is it that you say to this man that allows this man to feel comfortable to say that out his mouth?
Word up.
Right.
Word up.
But, yo, also, before I bounce, man, I do want to say, big up, man,
to all those people out here that's picking up trash still.
I got to go out and go get it.
To all those single moms and single dads that can't stop You still gotta go out here and get this
I do appreciate it
Our sanitation workers especially at a time like this
Still working
Well thank you brother
That brother made me think of something
I've been with my wife since 1998
And there was definitely a point where her father
Didn't want her around me
Because of the things that I was into
But I never But even knowing that information where her father, you know, didn't want her around me because of the things that I was into.
But I'd never even, but no, but even knowing that information,
I never would disrespect her daddy because I understood how much she respected her father.
So I would never even think to call her daddy
what NBA young boy called Floyd Mayweather.
Not only that, I'm sure like even with my parents,
my parents raised me in a way where I speak to elderly,
older people, I should say.
Absolutely.
I was taught to say, yes, sir.
Okay, sir.
Even if things got disrespectful,
they taught me what to say and how to react, you know?
So it's just a different level of how you were raised.
So what's the moral of the story, guys?
I mean, to me, just to answer your question,
I just don't think it's about NBA Youngboy.
If I'm Floyd, it's about my daughter.
And if I was Floyd, I would be talking to my daughter to see where the disconnect is between us.
That's what I would be trying to fix.
All right. Well, we got rumors on the way, Yee.
Yes, we are going to be talking about Joe Exotic, Tiger King, and there's some more coming on Netflix.
I think this was totally unanticipated, but with the success of Tiger King, now there's some more coming on Netflix. I think this was totally unanticipated, but with the success of Tiger King,
now there's some more coming for you.
All right, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us,
we were talking about Sherri Shepherd
and how she was on the show earlier.
And this is what she was talking about,
dating a guy with a hoopty.
What if he pulled up in a hoopty? Would that matter?
You can hoopty on out of here, because here's the problem.
I'm not putting you down if you got a hoopty. You're working your way there.
But you're going to have a problem as a man if you're trying to keep up with me.
So now I got to come down here.
What add value are you going to add to this relationship?
Because I know what I'm bringing.
Our levels are going to be different, And what's ultimately going to end up happening
is you may feel affected as a man. So we're asking 800-585-1051, would you date a guy that
drives a hoopty? Angela Yee. I mean, I have what I want to now. I'll be like, let's just drive my car.
And I understand, though, if you live in certain places, like if you live in L.A., if you live in Detroit, if you live in Atlanta, you have to drive all the time.
So I think then a car is more relevant in New York.
Not as much.
Yeah, but you know what?
It's like anything else.
Like, I mean, there's people that have a lot of money that are not in the cars.
There are people that have a lot of money that are not into clothes.
You know, people do what they want with their money.
Doesn't mean that they're broke.
It just means that they, you know, look at things differently.
I mean, I'm different. I like my clothes. I like my cars. Yeah. You can't talk. I can't, but you
know, I started with a 1986 Honda car with, you know, windows. She's talking about at her age now
where she's been through a lot. She's been married. She's been supporting, you know, husbands
and all of that. So now she's decided I've been through that. I want what I want. All right. She's been married. She's been supporting, you know, husbands and all of that. So now she's
decided, I've been through that. I want
what I want. Alright, let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
This is Lorenzo.
Hey Lorenzo, would you be the guy that drives a
hoopty? Yeah, I drive a hoopty
right now. I'm a married man. When I met my
wife, I drove a hoopty. But we own
rental properties. We got a nice house that
we're proud of and it's not an issue.
It's not about what you do.
Now, so now, what kind of car do you drive?
Because I want to know your definition of a Hooptie.
Because Envy's definition was all off.
Okay, I drive a 2003 Ford
Focus right now. Okay, yeah.
That's a Hooptie.
You win.
Shut you right up,
ye. That is a Hooptie. why don't you get a newer car?
I'm just curious.
It's just not important to me.
I'm more worried about getting more rental properties.
I'm more worried about keeping my wife happy
and leaving my kids something when I'm gone.
That's my focus.
There you go.
That's my Ford focus.
Thank you, brother.
I'm kind of I've always...
Angie, I'm kind of like your dad.
You said he always drove a hoopty.
I just never really felt comfortable in a nice car, to be honest.
This is what I always drive.
Really?
Would you like it if, like, you know, maybe your wife surprised you and bought you a new car?
Would that be dope?
Nah, she better get us another property.
There you go.
Because you know what?
I'm not going to lie, though.
Sometimes them cars get old,
and then you end up spending so much money fixing things.
You might as well just get a new car.
Nah, get your old hoopty, put a liability on it,
and you're good.
How much is a new Ford Focus?
Let me see.
How much does that run?
No, but why are you laughing?
You're laughing at my car?
She's laughing at your car?
No, I'm just trying to see
what the...
Oh, this is a wagon.
This is a wagon.
Let's see how much
can we get for that.
Okay.
Don't you afford focusing.
You might get like
$3,000 for it.
How many miles
it got on it?
Yeah, it went
that like 190.
Oh, wow.
No, you're not going
to get $3,000.
No, you're going to get about...
You're going to get about $900. You're going to get about $200. You're right. That's a full Oh, wow. No, you're not going to get $3,000. No, you're going to get about $900.
You're right.
That's a full focus, brother.
Yeah.
I'm just saying, but Sherry was wrong.
She was talking about how she's bringing a man up and he can't go where she can go.
Men do that with women all the time.
But women expect it.
And that's the difference.
They expect for a man to take them places they couldn't go and things like that.
It depends.
No, no, let's not generalize.
There's a lot of places I can go that, you know, I'm not.
I can take myself a lot of places.
So, you know, I get it.
And she can take herself a lot of places.
So I think her point was I can do these things.
And if he can't do them, then it might hurt his own ego.
I just want to give you a lot of props for having that Ford Focus with 200,000 miles, brother.
You stay clean out there, man.
Hello, who's this?
This is Celia.
Hey, Celia, good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
We're asking, would you date a guy that drives a hoopty?
Well, in my younger days, it wouldn't have been a deal breaker,
but I'm in my mid-30s, and I think that if you don't have,
if your life choices haven't led you to at least have a reliable vehicle
in your mid-30s, then we'll probably butt heads.
What if it's a reliable hoopty?
I still think, you know, it should be something up-to-date and nice.
I think a hoopty doesn't go hand in hand with reliable.
Hoopty to me is like it's run down.
It's not up to par.
You probably have problems with it.
It's not, you know, it's not something that if you're in your mid-30s that you should be, you know, you should have something nice and reliable.
I agree with you.
I agree that when you're younger, things like that don't matter because we all struggling trying to make it.
But when you get to a certain age, you're like, okay, I don't want to have
struggle love anymore.
Right. And I understand things happen, but
I don't want to have to weed through, like, okay,
are you just going through something or
is this just who you are? Are you just a person
that doesn't make good decisions?
At least come with a
reliable, up-to-date vehicle.
And then he's like, oh, my car broke down. Can I use your
car to get to work? Then you're dropping
him off at work. I have seven children.
Seven children?
I don't need eight.
How do you fit all those kids in the car?
She got a minivan.
Minivan can't sit
eight?
She got the third row.
I can't even believe I'm talking to you.
Even with a third row, what kind of car do you got that seats eight?
I have a Chrysler Dodge or what is it?
A Chrysler Town and Country.
You don't even know what she has.
I know, I know.
Chrysler Town and Country.
There's no way in hell you get all seven kids in that one car.
Yes, you can.
No, you can't.
Three in the middle, three in the back, one in the front.
Yeah.
And I have teenagers.
And sometimes I have my kids and a couple of their friends.
They squeeze in and we make it happen.
Lap it up, baby.
Goodness gracious.
So wait, who gets to ride a shotgun?
They all fight over it.
So I don't just let my oldest get the shotgun because she's the oldest.
If my five-year-old calls it first, then that's who gets it.
Now let's be honest.
We have daily fights and sometimes
fist fights over the breastfeed. When your
husband's in the car with you, one of the
kids got to sit on the floor. I'm a single mom.
Yeah, how you gonna assume that? She's a
single mom raising seven amazing kids.
One of them got to sit on the floor. Don't
lie. You got to at least have a car. You got to at least have an
up-to-date car because I'm doing
seven by myself. So, I
know if you're just you,
then you can have a decent car.
It doesn't have to be a foreign or anything. I gotta have a tractor
trailer if I date you with those damn
kids. Sheesh.
Not all women with children
are liabilities and not all women with less
or no children are assets. That's a fact.
I just gotta get all the kids in the car.
How y'all gonna come to my house for Christmas? We gotta get a tractor
trailer to get everybody there.
She's like, look, I raised...
We're the whole party.
You don't have to send out a bunch of invitations.
Just invite me.
So for the pandemic, you were straight
because you had your seven kids and they had things to do.
They were playing with each other the whole time.
I have a great idea for a business for you.
You know how they have people that you can hire
if you don't have a lot of friends?
If there's people whose kids don't have a lot of friends, they could just call you.
You're going to bring seven over.
You bring all the kids, and then you just charge them.
Yeah.
And there's a party.
So it's like the wedding singer, but it's like the friend.
Right.
For the kids.
Well, God bless you, mama.
I want more kids.
I want 10 kids.
My wife's not trying to have it.
I'm trying to have more, more, more, more kids.
What's the moral of the story?
The moral of the story is we don't want no scrubs.
That's what it's sounding like.
Now, I understand the diamond in the rough thing.
I think when we're younger and we're not in that space and we're all trying to come up together, it means a lot.
And there are some women who are okay with, you know, that.
And we did speak to a man who actually has a lot of properties
and cars aren't important to him, but I do think
you know, we don't want to be having to pick
you up on the side of the road because your car
broke down. We don't want you
having to ask us to drive our car because your car
broke down. You can't get to work. So
I think as long as you have something decent
that works, then
you know, it could work out. But
certain people like a Sherri Shepherd,
she's just not with it.
All right.
Keep it locked.

You got a positive note?
Yes, man.
I want to tell everybody out there,
you can't live a positive life with a negative mind.
I want you to sit back and think about this. Think about making your life a masterpiece.
Okay. Imagine no limitations on what you can be, have, or do.
