I feel like you're really not popping
Starting point is 00:02:45 until you do the Breakfast Club. I've been waiting to come to y'all's show, man. I know you gotta be a big time celebrity to be up in here. You gotta be big time.
Starting point is 00:02:53 DJ Enzi, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God. It's the Breakfast Club, bitches. Break the f*** up. Good morning, USA! and it is Monday! It's bromance in the morning! No, we ain't doing no damn bromance in the morning, okay? You just happen to have just the two brothers in here this morning, okay? First of all, drop one of Clues Bombs.
Starting point is 00:03:34 For the newest member of the Breakfast Club, the newest addition to the club, Z93 Jams in Charleston, South Carolina at 843. We start there this morning, okay? Now, did you ever get fired from that station? Never got fired from there, but that is the first radio station that I ever worked at in my life. That's why I started off as an intern in 1998. That's when I first got on the radio as a part-time.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Well, I worked in the promotions department there, and I worked as a part-time radio personality at Z93 Jams. But I left Z93 Jams. I gave them my two weeks notice. Okay. And went to another station in the market, Hot 98.9 in Charleston. I got fired from there.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Oh, you got fired from there. Yes, I definitely got fired from there. Definitely got fired from there. Full circle. Good morning. Definitely full circle. Come on, man. That's the Chuck.
Starting point is 00:04:16 That's the 843 right there. That's the holy city. Okay, that's home. All right. Yeah, so it's good to be, it's good to be back where I started. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:24 You know, there's people there that said I would never work in radio again. A lot of people said that, honestly. They were all wrong. They were all wrong, but you know, that's life. I don't hold it against them for being wrong. You know what I mean? Well, a couple do, but we didn't get what you said.
Starting point is 00:04:39 I mean, it's all motivation. It is. It's just motivation in life. It's inspiration. It's things that you write down. It's things that you never forget that give you the fuel just to keep going. Absolutely. You know, and I wish they would follow me on social
Starting point is 00:04:51 media so they could really see me shining. I'm sure they do. I'm sure they do. I'm sure they do. Well, shout to everybody out in Tampa. I was in Tampa Friday and Saturday. Friday we were talking about real estate and ownership, and then Saturday I did a brunch at 7th and Grove,
Starting point is 00:05:11 and then I went over to Lit, which is two venues that are black-owned. Not too many in Tampa, so I just wanted to shout them out. Had an amazing time. Man, it feels good to be black, don't it? I mean, when you wake up in the morning and you're just healthy and you feel good, and then you look in the morning and you're just healthy and you feel good, and then you look in the mirror and see all that melanin, it just feels good to be just radically black.
Starting point is 00:05:30 I'm all about radical black dignity. And both of them were actually black pharmacists. They opened up their own pharmacy, and then they opened up their own restaurant. So they are doing well. What do you mean, like drugstores? Yeah. Okay. What's the name of the drugstores?
Starting point is 00:05:44 I don't know. I went to the venue, not the drugstore. Come on. I. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the name of the drugstores? I don't know. I went to the venue, not the drugstore. Come on. I went to the venue, not the drugstore. Most of them know this stuff, right? I went to their venue. I didn't go to their drugstore. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:05:53 But shout out to them. 7th and Grove and Lit. And then I did my real estate seminar this Sunday in New Jersey where we try to teach people about real estate, buying their first home, buying their first investment property. There was a lot of people there. So many people, of course, we had to do two seminars back to back. And so many people were there.
Starting point is 00:06:12 They were so grateful, so thankful. So many people are jumping to buy their first house right now. Money is cheap. That means interest rates are low. So people are out there. Money is cheap? Yeah, that means interest rates are low. So if you want to borrow money, your interest rates are like 2%, opposed to usually where they're around 4% or 5%.
Starting point is 00:06:26 So just trying to help people out and guide them so they don't make the same mistakes that I did in the real estate game and some of the problems I made and lost a lot of money. So I figured it out. So I'm trying to help my people figure it out. That's all. Well, we're here, baby. It's Monday morning.
Starting point is 00:06:39 I don't know what we got planned today. I have not seen the show run down, but it doesn't matter. No, it doesn't. When we come back, we got front page news. We're talking fried chicken. I'm not doing that. We're not doing that. Why are we talking about fried chicken? I need another headline. Give me another segue, bro.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Gotta be something else. You want to talk about COVID or you want to talk about fried chicken? COVID. Let fried chicken be the C-star. You don't leave with fried chicken when you're a black radio show. What the hell is wrong with you? It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Now, chicken. Boy, didn't I tell you don't leave with this? Now, because everybody loves the sandwiches and the tenders to the nuggets and wings, it looks like there is a chicken shortage out there. It's going to be very hard to get chicken, and they're saying the prices of chicken can rise okay when they say it's a chicken show that they mean it's a shortage of real chicken cuz they've been out here making that GMO artificial garbage yes of real chicken so suppliers are struggling to get more chicken to get more birds out there so people can have more fried chicken and tenders and nuggets etc and wings no people need to have more chicken farms
Starting point is 00:07:43 all they need to stop eating less chicken. You know, our producer's an ass. This is what he puts at the bottom. Do you blame the Chick-fil-A cow for this? No. What? This is what our producer puts at the bottom. In related news, barbers across the country are experiencing shortages in Beijing as well. You know, you're an ass,
Starting point is 00:08:00 man. And I don't use Beijing. You're a liar. Something that Charlamagne might find exciting. You're just gonna sit in and lie to the people And I don't use Beijing. You're a liar. Something that Charlamagne might find exciting. I mean, you're just gonna sit in and lie to the people that you don't use Beijing. You haven't been using it. But you was definitely using it. That's probably why you're not using it now because there's no more. You caused the shortage.
Starting point is 00:08:16 You. EJ Envy caused the whole shortage. Shut up, man. Now, UFOs. They're saying UFOs exist. And the government is covering them up. This is from a former Pentagon official. He says they are UFOs. They've been studying them for a while, but the government just doesn't want to tell anybody.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Lenard McKelvey, your Uncle Sharla, I've been telling you all this for years. First of all, it's crazy to think that we live in a universe where it's just us. When all you have to do is look at the earth and see how diverse the Earth is. It's things in the water. It's things in the woods. It's things in the jungle. It's things in the sky. Why wouldn't the universe be just as diverse? Come on, people. How come we ain't see more of them, then? You say what? How come we haven't seen more of them?
Starting point is 00:08:55 You might be seeing them all the time and don't even know. How do you know? You don't even know what they look like. You have no idea. But I guarantee you that other life exists in other planets and other universes throughout these various galaxies. It's impossible. It's actually arrogant to think otherwise. Alright, now today 100 million Americans
Starting point is 00:09:12 are fully vaccinated. Almost double the 55 million who were fully vaccinated just a month ago. Congratulations. Now this in, nearly 40% of all adults in the country are protected and they said they're going to start allowing possibly kids to get vaccinated now. Congratulations. Also, screw you.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Anxiety. It seems like they believe that people who received the Johnson and Johnson shot experience experience fainting and dizziness because of anxiety. And that's the reason why. Yeah, because if you have gotten the Johnson & Johnson shot and then you see on the news that it's being recalled because it's causing blood clots, yeah, that's the way anxiety works. You're going to start thinking about all the bad things that can happen to you because you got the Johnson & Johnson shot. Of course.
Starting point is 00:09:56 That's just like with anything. And some sad news. Three dead and one in critical condition after a shooting at a Wisconsin casino. They believe the gunman came in looking for somebody, the person that he was looking for allegedly wasn't there and started shooting. And that's all the information that they have right now. But definitely rest in peace and condolences to anybody that lost anybody in that shooting.
Starting point is 00:10:16 That's a waste of bullets, too, by the way. If you come there looking for somebody and the person's not there, but you start shooting anyway, that's just stupid. Why would you do that? They believe the shooter was looking for an employee he had a personal relationship with but the employee wasn't working that day so why shoot up everybody else take your beef out take your beef with the person take your beef to the person that you actually got beef with why I shoot up all those random
Starting point is 00:10:35 people well don't shoot anybody how about that just don't say shoot I said beef don't say no beef with nobody beef with yourself how about that I'm with that too before you before you decide you want you want to shoot up random people, always think of yourself first. Well, that is front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.
Starting point is 00:10:55 How was your weekend? Did you have a great weekend? A horrible weekend? Well, talk to us. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag.
Starting point is 00:11:13 I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supremeest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.
Starting point is 00:11:27 I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe owned 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.
Starting point is 00:11:44 What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

Starting point is 00:13:10 but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.
Starting point is 00:13:48 It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. So you better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:14:15 This is Anthony. Anthony, what's up, man? Get it off your chest, bro. Oh, man, I heard you guys talking about aliens and how space travel is real, and it's not because God created the universe, and you can't figure it out. I don't care if you live on a planet that's in another universe. You can't get from your planet to another planet. How do you know that, sir?
Starting point is 00:14:37 How do you know that it's not intelligence out there that's way smarter than humans that can do that? How do you know? I think that if they were here, then that they've been here. Something that's been involved with the way the earth evolved. So I don't think they would go from earth to Mars. So you think God made all of this real estate and only put life on one? No, I think that he created all this real estate and said,
Starting point is 00:15:02 you stay here, you stay here, you stay here. You can be as smart as you want because even our space program, they say we go to space, but we don't really go to space. Listen, our space program might be the most primitive in the universe. Have you ever thought about that? I don't know why human beings, Earthlings, think we are the smartest creatures, our beings in all of these galaxies. Like, that's just weird to think yeah but any materials is what's created by god so those materials have to be able to survive in
Starting point is 00:15:33 any part of the universe who says they can't though we're only we're only looking at things from our level of understanding how do we know that there's not beings out there that can't do that i'm not arguing with y'all about aliens this morning. Hello, who's this? We are aliens. Tony out of Louisville. Tony, what's up, bro? Get it off your chest. I just want to give an RIP, shout out to the young lady who lost her life
Starting point is 00:15:54 at a club shooting in my city over the weekend. That was horrible. Yeah, definitely, man. Rest in peace. Yeah, I didn't know the lady, but she was a young lady. They was all young. She gave me to put them damn guns down. Can you imagine surviving the pandemic, happy to go outside, only to die outside?
Starting point is 00:16:12 I mean, I was looking at the paper today, and they said the amount of shootings in the New York area, they said it's through the roof. They said everybody's shooting. Hello, who's this? Yo, it's your boy Tony Fats from Florida, Tampa, Florida. What's up, Tony? Get off your chest, bro. So, there's a few things I want to get off my chest.
Starting point is 00:16:32 First of all, I'm a comedian. I will be. I see you at 70 Grows this weekend. So, I will be doing a free comedy show on Tuesday. Sorry, May 17th at 70 Grows in Tampa, Florida. We call it the Tickle Good Tacos. It's a free comedy show. Starts at 7.30.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Doors open up at 7.00. I want to get that out there. Second of all, I want to say that, was that Uncle Charlotte? Peace, King. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. First of all, I want to get on Kamala Harris and tell Scott about that BS that they said last week. And this is what people were talking about. I'm not a Trump fan. Never was, never going to be a Trump supporter,
Starting point is 00:17:07 but this is what people were talking about when they say they are rather sick to the evil that they know. When you get to Madam Vice President, they get on TV and double down on some stupid comments that tell Scott Mayer to talk about this entire race of countries. And that's called f***ing on us and telling us it's rain. I don't get down with that. I just don't get down with that.
Starting point is 00:17:31 I did not. Joe Biden was not my favorite. I couldn't stand him. I still can't stand him. And Dr. Umar Johnson was absolutely right. But other than that, I just want to tell y'all, brothers, I love y'all. Make sure y'all follow me on Instagram, TonySaps, S-P-O-N-I-F-A-T-Z.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Matter of fact, if anybody's seen me in your Moneybag Yo Shottas video, I was the one tied up in the Moneybag Yo Shottas video. Okay. You was tied up? Yeah, that was me. That was me in the Shottas video. The one tied up. The one tied up in the Shottas. They beat with the money and put the food. Yeah, that's me, man.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Yeah, we don't remember, brother. We don't remember, brother, but salute to you. I'm going to tell you something else, too. You also got to remember that regardless of who's in the White House, they work for us, and democracy is all about holding your elected officials accountable. So, yes, I wish that Kamala Harris
Starting point is 00:18:19 had more radical black dignity, but I'm also going to be pressing Kamala to make sure that certain policies and legislations get passed, especially the George Floyd Policing Act, you know, because black people, we need that. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 00:26:00 with your bad self. Yeah. Okay. Came a long way from what's the meat Haitians eat? Grillo. Grillo. There you go. Well, that's pork still. Hey, man,
Starting point is 00:26:11 I'm going to be honest with you. Guinea pigs, pork, sound all the same to me. Definitely not the same. All the same. I don't think Muslims can eat guinea pigs. I don't think they can.
Starting point is 00:26:19 I don't think Allah will be pleased with that one. Have a good one and have a great birthday. Thank you, guys. All right. And it's mental health awareness, Mom, too. Oh, she hung up. She's a therapist, too. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Now, we got rumors on the way. We got to talk. Irv Gotti, he apologized for the comments he made about DMX. So, we'll talk about that when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. Listen up. Now, recently, Irv Gotti did an interview with our peoples out in Chicago, Kendra G. Dropping a cool vibe for Kendra G. I forgot. I know it's Kendra g uh kyle and leon though i can't remember the name of the morning show wgci though yeah yeah wgc so shout out to our peoples in the so they did an interview with irv gotty and irv gotty said this during the interview
Starting point is 00:27:16 they said he it was a bad dose of crack and they said some druganyl, was mixed in with the crack. And that's what made him overdose. Yeah, so he was talking about DMX and a lot of people didn't like it. I mean, of course, 50 Cent reposted it and said this guy's an idiot. Did he just say DMX died from smoking crack and fentanyl? Why would he say that? Swiss Beats left a comment, Bozo moves, can't lie. Well, Irv got it addressed. Jadakiss called him a wing.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Still trying to figure out what that slang means. I don't know if that was like a chicken wing or... I'm thinking because it's a part of a bird. So he's saying it's a bird, but you're not a whole bird. You're just a wing. I don't know. Kids, put us on. I don't know. It's the short of the chicken. Now, Irv Gotti, he
Starting point is 00:27:58 responded. He put a post with him in DMX. He said, first of all, let me say again how much I love my Iggy X. He said, the fact that it's coming into question is the only reason I'm going to address this. I love X and love him unconditionally, and that won't change. Now, the interview I did with Kendra G, that was just something that I heard and I re-reported. I spoke to Tashara Simmons, who I also love, and I apologize. And I also apologize to my brothers D and Y.
Starting point is 00:28:23 They know exactly where my heart is. Hashtag RIP DMX. Hashtag dog lug. Hashtag Rough Riders. Hashtag family. It's a lot longer, but he said he apologized and didn't mean any harm by it. Well, the beautiful thing about Irv Gotti is he speaks his mind all the time. The bad thing about Irv Gotti is he speaks his mind
Starting point is 00:28:39 all the time. Okay, even if that was the truth, that's not his place to put that out there. His man just died. Family is grieving. That kind of energy, even if that was the truth, that's not his place to put that out there. His man just died, family is grieving, that kind of energy, even if it's true, doesn't need to be out there. We can discuss that another time.
Starting point is 00:28:50 I wonder if that's why Irv didn't speak at the funeral because I was wondering, I was like, why isn't Irv speaking at the funeral? I thought so too, but love or hate Irv,
Starting point is 00:28:57 we know Irv's heart when it came to DMX. Of course. Irv loved DMX. 100%. 100%. Now, Travis Scott announced Astroworld Festival
Starting point is 00:29:04 2021 dates. So, it's a couple of dates. So, if you're ready to get back out there, well, he has his third annual festival that's going to happen November 5th and 6th in Houston. And tickets go on sale Wednesday, May 5th at 10 a.m. And when's the date? November 5th and 6th. I mean, if the world keeps going the way that it's going, would you say 100 million Americans are already vaccinated? I don't see the problem with that come fall.
Starting point is 00:29:28 I feel like fall things will be, I don't want to say back to normal because it was never normal, but back to somewhat normalcy. Right. Shout out to Moneybagg Yo. I'm sure he got a scare. He posted on Twitter, damn, man, how my mama got COVID and pneumonia. Shaking my head. I need y'all prayers right now.
Starting point is 00:29:45 He posted that. What was that accent, I need y'all prayers right now. What was that accent, bro? Don't disrespect Memphis like that. That was like a Memphis. Nah, bro. Don't disrespect Memphis like that, yo. Memphis. That was like a Memphis. Next time y'all see, if Envy ever comes to the city, wipe his beard off. Take a warm rag to his face. Alright, but then he posted it a day
Starting point is 00:30:02 later, two days later. I appreciate y'all prayers. She is good. So thank God for that. And Moneybagg Yo got the number one album in the country this week. Drop on the clues box for Moneybagg Yo. I was going to say that. Number one album in the country. He moved 110,000 total albums his first week. So congratulations to him.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Well-deserving. I'm on record as saying Memphis has the best rappers in the game right now. From Pooh Shiesty to Moneybagg Yo, to Big Scar, to Key Glock, to Dolph. They got the best rappers in the game right now. So it's good to see Moneybagg Yo at the top of the charts. And lastly, Lil Durk. Now they posted that O'Block, that's the hood in Chicago, his hood in Chicago. That's also the hood where the first lady's from. He said that it posted that it's up for sale, and he said, I'll buy it.
Starting point is 00:30:50 It don't matter how much it is, I will buy it. Yeah, I mean, listen, all you brothers and sisters out there, you got to stop saying, you know, that's your hood, that's your hood, that's your hood if you don't own none of it. You know what I'm saying? If you don't own none of the dirt there, that ain't your hood. So, yes, I would love to see Lil Durk purchase O Block.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Yeah, they put the property on the market after purchasing the development in 2011. They believe it could be worth anywhere between $30 and $50 million. But there will be some tax credits. There will be a whole lot that he could probably do at $694 units. Why is it
Starting point is 00:31:23 for sale? People that bought it are just selling it. I mean, maybe they're trying to flip it. Maybe they're trying to make some money off of it. I am not sure. But I will say this. Lil Durk and I have a lot of conversations, and it's never about music. And he always wants to buy in Chicago. Like, you know, I send him a bunch of properties in Chicago, and sometimes they're a little too small.
Starting point is 00:31:40 You know, it's bigger than a 12 unit. So this is something he'll definitely do. And I'll reach out to him today and see if I can get a part of this one. Gentrify your hood before them white people do it. Yeah, but Dirk definitely wants to buy Chicago up and fix it up. So that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, front page news. If you missed it early, there's a chicken shortage.
Starting point is 00:31:57 I'll tell you all about it. Yo, stop leading with that story. I don't feel comfortable as a black radio personality with you leading with that story, bro. What? I just don't like it. I don't like how as a black radio personality with you leading with that story, bro. What? I just don't like it. I don't like how it sounds. All right. Well, we'll tell you more about the chicken shortage when we come back.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Angela here. And the General Insurance understands that stuff happens, including lapses in auto coverage. At The General, they make it easy to get reinstated and will work with you to keep you covered.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Call 800-GENERAL or go to thegeneral.com to find out more. Some restrictions apply. Damn Monday. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Let's start off with chicken.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Now, the popularity of chicken is insane. You know, chicken sandwiches. You got to add that chicken sandwich. Chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, and, of course, those chicken wings. It's such a high demand for chicken. It seems like America is starting to run short. That's all you got? No, I got more.
Starting point is 00:33:01 So, they say KFC says it's struggling to keep up the soaring demand for its new sandwich. They said the biscuits in Bojangles is starting to run out. And tenders all across the country, people can't find them anywhere. I went to KFC yesterday. I went just for sides because my wife put some chicken on the grill. Yeah, I put some chicken on the grill. So then I went to KFC and I got a family size mashed potatoes, two of them, and 10 biscuits. Well, you couldn't get no chicken because chicken is difficult out there right now.
Starting point is 00:33:31 I didn't want the chicken. I didn't want the chicken just because I'd be knowing that that chicken is GMO. That's why I can't believe there's a shortage of it because it ain't real no way. How's there a shortage of plastic chicken? They said poultry companies have been struggling to keep up with the demand from quick services, fast food places, and all that. So they're saying they are looking for ways to get more chicken in. Well, I guess they want to keep genetically modifying more chicken. When they say chicken, they mean organic chicken, right?
Starting point is 00:33:54 Yes. Probably a shortage of organic chicken. Organic chicken, yep. Not a shortage of that stuff that got six legs. What's that? You ain't never seen the chickens with six legs? No. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Google it. Alright, well, I said this earlier. I'll tell you again. The White House says 100 million Americans are fully vaccinated. Almost double the 55 million who were fully vaccinated just a month ago. Now they're saying nearly 40% of all adults in the country are protected and
Starting point is 00:34:19 you know, things are looking a lot better. They say that people are allowed to go outside without a mask. Congratulations. Also, they're saying anxiety is the looking a lot better. They say that people are allowed to go outside without a mask. Congratulations. Also, they say anxiety is the reason a lot of you guys are experiencing fainting and dizziness after taking the Johnson & Johnson shot. Well, that's y'all fault. It's the media's fault. I haven't gotten vaccinated.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I don't plan to get vaccinated. But it's the media's fault because the Johnson & Johnson vaccine got recalled. Right. Because they said it causes blood clots. Correct. So imagine you have gotten the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and you see that on the news. Of course that's going to make your anxiety shoot through the roof.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Of course you're going to think the worst. Now, if you got family out in Mississippi in that area, give them a ring right now. They said damage reported in at least three cities after tornadoes ripped through that area. So if you have family out there, give them a call. Make sure they are right. Check on the elderly.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Make sure everybody is okay. Where is that at? Mississippi. Okay. Mississippi. All right. And that is your front page news. Now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines.
Starting point is 00:35:16 800-585-1051. We were talking behind the scenes, and I seen Dramos get so mad. Yeah, man. What? This is something Lil Duval posted. My guy, Lil Duval. Drop on the clues box for Lil Duval. The prophet, Lilval posted. My guy, Lil Duval. Drop on the clues box for Lil Duval.
Starting point is 00:35:26 The prophet, Lil Duval. Deacon, Lil Duval. Deacon Duval. What did Deacon Duval say? He said, how you a grown-ass man over 30 sharing a place
Starting point is 00:35:38 with another grown-ass man. You got a point. You know, let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. I'm not shaming. When we said this earlier, Dramos got so talk about it. I'm not shaming. When we said this earlier, Dramos got so offended.
Starting point is 00:35:48 I'm not shaming you because I just want to know what the situation is. Dramos, he just turned 40 and he just got his own crib so we want to congratulate you. You're 40? You're not 40, Dramos.
Starting point is 00:35:58 You believe this guy? You're not even 30 yet, are you? No, I'm 30. You're 30. So let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. Is this true? How you're a grown-ass man over 30 sharing a place with another grown-ass man?
Starting point is 00:36:09 Might be his boyfriend. Might be his husband. Who? Calm down. God damn, Dramos. Calm down. Loosen up your butt cheeks, bro. Relax. Why you get so tight? I'm just saying, in general, this person that Duvall is referencing, that may be his boyfriend, that may be his husband.
Starting point is 00:36:26 I don't think he's talking about that. You don't know the situation? I think he's talking about grown-ass men that are out and about in the clubs, has all types of couture, cars, and still a grown-ass man and living with another grown-ass man. You're just talking about straight-up grown men with roommates. This ain't no son-with-a-father situation. This ain't no brother living with a brother. No, no no son living, I mean, no brother living with a brother.
Starting point is 00:36:45 No, no. That's what we talking about. Let's talk about it when we come back. Why you so giggly, yo? You guys are some haters. I think y'all forget what it, okay, we'll talk about it. You got a roommate? And by the way, at my brokest, at my brokest,
Starting point is 00:36:57 I've never had a roommate. Oh, you tell him, you tell him, honey. We'll talk about it when we come back. Just a breakfast club good morning. Pull out your, pull out your phone. Call in, honey. We'll talk about it when we come back. Just the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Pick up the phone, baby. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club talk about it morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club good morning now if you just join us we're talking about something that uh our friend little duval said now deacon
Starting point is 00:37:43 duval what did deacon duval say say? Little Duvall said, how you a grown ass man over 30 sharing a place with another grown ass man? Wow. So we said that we were talking behind the scenes and our friend, our board op over here, Dramos got a little upset. Dramos, are you in this situation? Well,
Starting point is 00:37:59 first of all, I just bought my own house, my own property recently. Congratulations. But three months ago, yes, I was in that situation. And why? Because y'all don't pay me enough up here. Okay. That's the first of all. I understand that.
Starting point is 00:38:10 I understand that. Listen, I understand where Duval is coming from. I don't judge people. You know what I mean? Because as Drumbo said, sometimes it's the economic. Most of the time, it's the economic situation. But when I see grown men sharing space with other grown men, I just assume they're gay or related. And I have no problem with it.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Why is that the assumption? I don't know. I was thinking what I assume. Ass is assumed. That's why you shouldn't assume, right? Or was there any truth to any of those things you just said? No, there's not any damn truth. First of all, it's expensive.
Starting point is 00:38:35 Why would you save some money over here? I understand where Dramos is coming from. I have no problem with it. I like unity and group operation. As Dramos said, rent is expensive. But I will say, if two grown men are sharing one bathroom, you got to get your life together. Because if you're using the same toilet as a person, y'all a couple.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Y'all a couple. Y'all a couple. Come on, bro. Your cheeks share the same toilet seat as another man? Y'all a little couple. Come on, bro. Hold on, Dramos. Did y'all have one bathroom or two bathrooms in the place?
Starting point is 00:39:03 One bathroom. Whoa. How many toothbrushes? Whoa. Shut up, man. So hold on, so hold on. So what if you really had to go, right, do a number two, but he just came off from doing a number two.
Starting point is 00:39:15 So you walk right in and smell him. They flirting. Yeah, you got to, yeah. Bro, that got to be the rule. If two grown men share a space, it got to be two bathrooms in the space. It got to be. Unless they don't want that. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Jasmine. Yes? Two guys, 30 years old, roommates. What's your thoughts? Nah. You got to be doing better. Like, that's just kind of mm-mm. Because what if your girl want to come over and she want to be walking around naked?
Starting point is 00:39:44 She can't do that if you got a roommate? And especially if they got one bathroom? Yeah, no. No, I think around 30 years old, honestly like getting close to 30, like around 20 something, you should be having your own place. That's right. Your cheeks
Starting point is 00:39:59 touching the same toilet that another man's cheeks touch. I appreciate this. This is crazy. Hello, who's this? Yo, yo, yo. You, you, you. What's your name, mama? Me? Oh, this is Jaylee.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Good morning, y'all. I wanted to say, whoever wants to be besties with their best friend when they come home from jail and they want to go to basketball summer league all summer, not taking care of their responsibilities, that's why men want to be roommates without their men. This sounds very personal. It does sound personal. What happened?
Starting point is 00:40:28 What happened? It's my soul. It's my soul, Charlamagne. My baby's dad was in Feds for 15 years, promising me love the whole 15 years. Oh, boy. He come home, honey. He comes home.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Don't want to speak to his baby's mom. He wouldn't have survived without. Them kids wouldn't his baby's mom. He wouldn't have survived without. Them kids wouldn't have survived without me. He wouldn't have come home and got his other girl's name tatted on his back. So I got to get somebody's diamond on my hand. What the hell? What? So listen, does he have a roommate?
Starting point is 00:40:59 He's still in the halfway house, but he's trying to room up with his bestie when he get out the halfway house because he don't want to handle responsibility. He used to... Maybe he just used to having a celly, boo. That's all. Yeah, maybe he used to having a celly. Oh, dude, go ahead. I don't want nothing to do with that, but if you promise any promises of love, I'm sending
Starting point is 00:41:17 you money and all that, you're going to have to pay a price when you come home and then you try to front on me. Are you calling from Philadelphia? Yes. Around that, yes. I can hear the Philly in your tone. I can hear the accent. Well, I'm sorry, mama. It's all good. I just wanted to see what Angela, you
Starting point is 00:41:33 thought if she thought Shady was going to scoop me or not because I don't got to wait around for no jailbird. She not here. She not here today, mama. Well, I'm asking C&E. What's up? What's going on? I think that you shouldn't force anybody to want to be with you. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:41:49 Right, right. I don't have to. I agree. I think Dramos is taking all the good men, so just be careful. And I think that if he's been in jail for the past 15 years and he wants to come home and live with another man instead of you, says a lot. What does it say? He's trying to save his money, man.
Starting point is 00:42:03 He's got a whole woman he can stay with. He can stay with you? You got a place he can stay with? Yeah, he got a place with me, but guess what? He tried to act brand new when he got out. Oh, okay. Then, yeah, that's a little weird. I don't know where this went, Mama, but thank you for calling. Have a good day. All right. Geeks. Okay. I'm going to tell you, when he come home,
Starting point is 00:42:20 you better check for that crack in the Liberty Bell. Okay? Because I'm telling you, this whole sound right. All right. 800-585-1051. The good brother, Little Duval, said this on Twitter the other day. He said, how you a grown-ass man over 30 sharing a place with another grown-ass man? And let's talk about it, all right?
Starting point is 00:42:40 Dramas was so offended by that. We not shaming nobody with roommates, by the way. We definitely shaming people. No, but I'm just saying, 30 and up, and you're a grown man, two men, with one bathroom? Bro, you know how the New York, New Jersey area is expensive, man. Let me ask you a question.
Starting point is 00:42:54 What? Did you ever sit on the toilet after him and it was warm? We gotta go to commercial. You know what I mean? That means they gotta share the soap because there's gotta be a bar of soap there. Why you gotta share the soap? Sharing one bathroom with a man is crazy. Sharing one toilet is wild. We'll talk about it more when we come back.
Starting point is 00:43:09 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.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Call me. Add 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 reading something
Starting point is 00:43:33 that Little Duval put on Instagram. I don't know why I keep crumpling up this paper, but he said, how are you a grown-ass man over 30, Dramos, sharing a place with another grown-ass man? That is the question. I'm going to say, I don't think having a roommate, you know what I'm saying, when you'reass man over 30, Dramos. Sharing a place with another grown-ass man. That is the question. I'm going to say, I don't think having a roommate, you know what I'm saying, when you're a man at 30 is the problem. I just think it's a problem when it's like a two-bedroom, one-bathroom.
Starting point is 00:43:56 What's the problem? It's got to be two bathrooms, bro. Sharing a toilet with another guy is strange. Bro, there's limited real estate over here in the area. Who cleans, though? Who cleans? How do y'all decide who cleans the toilet? We had a cleaning lady because of the money we were saving
Starting point is 00:44:07 on being roommates. We hired a cleaning lady. Well, guess what? If y'all didn't pay the cleaning lady, y'all could both afford to have your own place. That's right. Now I do have my own place. That's what I was doing. I was saving. Y'all need to stop shaming people. Listen, why? Okay, if you weren't shamed about it, why'd you move? What do you mean? Because I wanted to buy my own place. Why did you want your own place? Because I want to own my own place. Because you knew that having
Starting point is 00:44:23 a roommate looked crazy. I mean, it looked a little crazy. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Essence. Hey, Essence. So what are your thoughts on a grown ass man having a roommate, 30 years old? I think if I was just dealing with somebody like that, he was 40.
Starting point is 00:44:40 He refused to call them roommates because he knew that was awful. He would call them housemates to make it. Did they even have a house? They were, I mean, they were renting rooms from someone, but like it was none of their house. And you have to move in with him. Like, dude, you don't even have your own place.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Why would I give up my spot to go be roommates with you? No. That's right. You didn't give him none, did you? No, I didn't. I shouldn't have, though. See? Where'd y'all used to have sex at?
Starting point is 00:45:12 In his room. I mean, he had a room. Oh, man. Did he have a twin bed? No, it was a full time, probably. I think you deserve better, ma. What happened if you had to go to the bathroom? Because you could go to the bathroom and somebody could be in the bathroom already.
Starting point is 00:45:26 You just got to wait your turn. Yeah, that was awful. That's what I'm saying, man. You cannot share the same bathroom. Even if you're a grown ass man. I got another grown ass man as a roommate. Y'all got to have more than one bathroom. Hello.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Who's this? Hello. Hello. Hey, now this is George. We have George on the line. George, you're 36 and you have a roommate now, right? No, no, I told him I had a roommate. Oh, you had a roommate?
Starting point is 00:45:52 Yes, sir. When? About two years ago. Wow, you was 34 years old. Anything else you want to add to this? Nah, man, I'm just here for the... Did y'all have one bathroom? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Damn, so you used to share the same toilet as another man? Your cheeks touched the same cheeks as his did? Nah, man. I'm just here for the... Did y'all have one bathroom? Yeah. Damn. So you used to share the same toilet as another man? Your cheeks touch the same cheeks as his did? What's wrong with that, man? I do... Hey. Nothing wrong with it. I'm just telling you...
Starting point is 00:46:16 I'm just telling you that your DNA and his DNA is all over each other. Oh, man. Oh, man. How many bedrooms did you have? Two, brother. Anything else? Nah, man. Actually, I was engaged at the time.
Starting point is 00:46:33 You was engaged? Yeah, see, I'm not. Let me leave it. Matter of fact, let me leave it alone. Let me leave it alone. Why y'all not engaged no more? It didn't work out. Why?
Starting point is 00:46:44 She got tired of coming over? And having to share the bathroom with two grown men? Not even, brother. It didn't work out. I hear you questioning your life right now, sir. It's all good, bro. And you should, but at least you're not in that situation no more. You stay strong, man. Yo,
Starting point is 00:46:59 Charlamagne. Yes, sir. Can I ask you something? Yes, sir. I do interviews. I want you to look at my interviews. Okay, what's the page? No Smoke TV. All right, I'm going to check it out. That's a lie.
Starting point is 00:47:13 He ain't going to check it out. No, I am going to check it out. Do you do it with your roommate in your roommate's house? Nah, man. I got my own crib now, man. Congratulations. I'm happy for you, King. I'm going to check out No Smoke TV, though. Yeah, I look up to your interviews, man. So, you know, I'm just trying crib down, man. Congratulations. I'm happy for you, King. I'm going to check out No Smoke TV, though.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Yeah, I look up to your interviews, man. So, you know, I'm just trying to do my thing. I appreciate you, my brother. Thank you. What's the moral of the story, man? The moral of the story is a scrub is a guy that thinks he's fine, but also known as a buster, okay? That's the song that made me move out of my mama's house when I was in my 20s,
Starting point is 00:47:43 all right, and at my brokest when I was making $8 an hour at Hot 1039 in Columbia, South Carolina, I did not have a roommate. Yeah, but how nasty was your apartment? I didn't have any. All I had was a bed that my mama, thank God, let me bring up from out in the corner of South Carolina. I had a small TV on the floor, and that's it. That's even worse.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Hey, that is not worse. I'd rather have that than share a bathroom with another man. How dare you? Okay? All right. Well, when we not worse. I'd rather have that than share a bathroom with another man. How dare you. Okay? All right. Well, when we come back, we got the rumor report. We'll tell you about Jay-Z.

Starting point is 00:48:40 I ain't saying nothing about no roomers. Same duty. Let's play Scrubs here. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That's right. You know, the funniest part of this song is when she says, what'd she say, I'm not going back to your place?
Starting point is 00:49:04 What'd she say? I don't know. She said, I'm not going back to your place or something like that. I can't go back to your place. You don't have a place. No. You know, you're half a homeless nigga. Goodness gracious. I hate it.

Starting point is 00:49:42 It's also rides and festivals for the kids. So that's why it's Car-chella. It's a little bit festivals for the kids. So that's why it's Coachella. It's a little bit of both. But now. I hope y'all get sued. No, you can't. Coachella's actually a place I already trademarked. But anyway, Coachella, right.

So we have some more car shows coming up around the country, but July 3rd is this one. Now, when we come back, let's get to the rumors. Jay-Z, another one.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Some more millions. We'll tell you all about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report.
Starting point is 00:54:17 This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, congratulations to Hov and team. He just closed a $350 million deal. He sold Tidal with CEO Square, Jack Dorsey. So that is an amazing deal. That's a nice flip.
Starting point is 00:54:38 He paid $56 million for Tidal. Yeah, he paid $56 million for it. That's right. And with all the initial investors in title, all the artists he initially had on walked away with like, what, $8 million a piece
Starting point is 00:54:48 or something like that? Yep, yep, yep, yep. Can't be mad at that. Nope. Square gets 80% ownership of title and licensing deals with major record labels. But Jay-Z and crew,
Starting point is 00:54:58 they still remain on running it and holding everything down. So congratulations to Roc Nation and all that you guys are doing. If the deals you're doing don't benefit other
Starting point is 00:55:05 people, the deals aren't worth doing. You know what I mean? That's just how I feel. Like a lot of things people do are very self-serving and nobody eats off of those things but them. Those aren't worth doing. The deals that are worth doing are the ones like that where a lot of different people eat. Alright, now
Starting point is 00:55:22 shout out to DJ Khaled on his new album. He has the song Nas and Jay-Z. And there's a video that surfaced of Jay-Z FaceTiming Nas and Nas saying that he had to change his lyrics
Starting point is 00:55:31 after hearing Hov's verse. So, I'm just here tweaking lines. Yo, Japanese whiskey. Y'all got bands where we dance
Starting point is 00:55:41 to different drums. Oh, no, no, no. I gotta come back. I gotta come back. And the queen at. Oh, no, no, no. I gotta come back. I gotta come back. And the queen at the end, bro, like, there's harmony.
Starting point is 00:55:50 That gave me chills, bro. And that's her when she comes in, when you say, on another beat? Yeah. Hey. That's crazy, bro. This is one. This is definitely one for the books. I love that record. I love seeing two grown men talking about dieting, right?
Starting point is 00:56:07 And investing in themselves personally and professionally. That's what the whole song is about. The song is really about the investments they've made in their professional lives and personal lives. I love that record. Well, Khaled said that Nas didn't have to change any verses or lyrics. He was just saying that he didn't change anything. But I don't know if you've seen over the weekend and this was like people are so
Starting point is 00:56:26 stupid they were like this Jay-z all he talked about making money being rich and his wife I'm like what else is there to talk about like yeah you're 51 years old what you want to talk about you want him to talk about busting his gun you know what I mean what you want to talk about popping pills he's talking about his life that's what art is art is a reflection of life, okay? So, yes, if I'm married to Beyonce, if I'm a billionaire, if I'm making money, those are the things I'm going to talk about. And I've never heard a rapper talk about intermittent fasting, ever.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Right. In a song. Ever. Okay. Well, Jennifer Lopez, after her split from Alex Rodriguez, No More Barico, I Love, she is hanging around Ben Affleck. Just run back to the white man, huh? How does that make you feel, Dramos?
Starting point is 00:57:08 I mean, it's a loss for all of us, I feel like, you know? Who's all of us? Who's all of us? I'm saying all of us, you know what I'm saying? How does it make you feel that she ran back to the white man? I don't feel good about it. Okay, let's make it short. Benefit might be back, man.
Starting point is 00:57:20 You know what? She's on a rebound right now. You know, we all do dumb things on the rebound. Yeah. Now, in some sad news, rapper 40 Cal, you remember 40 Cals with Dipset? Dippa Mess? Yeah, he's asking for help in search of his missing teenage daughter. She goes to Buffalo State College, and she was missing.
Starting point is 00:57:42 They're asking anybody with any information to please, please, please, please help as much as possible. I think I heard on the news this morning that they believe they found her cell phone, but they haven't found her as yet. She's 19 years old. This is one of those tragic situations. Help, please. I can't even imagine your daughter's at college and you're hoping that everything is fine because once they go to college, there's really nothing. You can't watch over them like that and something happens. Please, there has to be somebody that knows something. If you know any information, please contact 40Cal or the family.
Starting point is 00:58:16 40Cal's Instagram is its40cal. His daughter's name was Sanaya. Again, that's Buffalo State College. Man, that's horrible to hear. And I don't know. You just bought the energy all the way down. Jesus Christ. We could have did that as his own separate break somewhere.
Starting point is 00:58:34 I just wanted to put that out there. I know that people listen and even up top they listen. So hopefully if they know anything or seen anything, please reach out. Lord have mercy. That's horrible. I can't even imagine. And lastly, Caitlyn Jenner. anything definitely please uh reach out lord have mercy that's horrible i can't even imagine and lastly caitlin jenna he's uh she's she's waiting on her debate over transgender sports restrictions and this is what she said this is a question of fairness that's why i oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girl sports in school. It just isn't fair.
Starting point is 00:59:06 And we have to protect girl sports in our school. But if someone transitions and now identifies as a girl, isn't it delegitimizing their identity to prevent them? Have a good day. Have a good day. Okay, what did she say wrong? What did she say wrong? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:59:21 And she would know because she was an athlete back in the day, an Olympic gold medalist. So what did she say wrong? Nothing. And she would know because she was an athlete back in the day. An Olympic gold medalist. So what did she say wrong? I don't think anybody could have a problem with that. That's right. Alright. Well that is your rumor report. Now, Charlemagne. Yes. Who you giving that donkey to? You know, let's talk why there's no permanent
Starting point is 00:59:39 friends or enemies when it comes to business. Okay, I need a radio personality named Maizen Schreider to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:59:51 The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Enter for a chance to win two high-end cell phones with 12 months of service and $2,500 thanks to Simple Mobile.

Starting point is 01:00:07 You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.
Starting point is 01:00:22 They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne to tap them gloves. Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. This is a breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Well, donkey of the day for Monday, May 3rd goes to a radio DJ in St. Louis.
Starting point is 01:00:40 A radio personality. His name is Mason Streeter. Good morning, Mason. I don't know you, sir, but I felt like this donkey of the day was so appropriate, especially since today. OK, our latest Breakfast Club affiliate is a radio station in Charleston, South Carolina named Z93 Jams. Drop on the clues box for Z93 Jams. That station is very special to me because it's the heritage station that I grew up on. And as far as my my radio career is heritage station that I grew up on. And as far as my radio career, it's the station that I grew at. OK, Z92 Jams is where I started as an intern. I worked in the promotions department and I was a part time radio personality there. Why am I telling you this story?
Starting point is 01:01:14 Because it's the first radio station I worked at. OK, I worked at six other ones since then. OK, yes, I've worked at seven different radio stations and my almost 23 year radio career. Okay. From South Carolina to New York to Philly, back to New York. And now nationally syndicated all over the country. Look at God. Okay. Thank you, God. Now, being that I've worked at seven different radio stations, being that I've been fired four times from some of these stations, I don't even bother to have an office. Okay, right now to this day, because if they need me to roll out, I'm going to just roll out. That's how fickle this business can be.
Starting point is 01:01:50 It's no stability in radio until you get to a certain position. And then even then it's like, eh, okay, maybe it's my PTSD from being fired four times, but I've been in this business long enough to know that the game is indeed a revolving door. It's just a cycle of leaving and returning. Now, I have no idea how old Mason Schreider is. I have no idea how long he's been in radio. But, man, oh, man, did he make a rookie mistake in regards to making a
Starting point is 01:02:14 commitment to the radio station. Okay? See, Mason Schreider is half of the morning show Mason and Remy, and he decided to get the radio station's logo tattooed on his arm. To all my aspiring radio personalities out there, trust me when I tell you these radio stations ain't loyal. Okay, Lord have mercy, all right? Don't ever think in this business of radio that folks are your friends to the extent
Starting point is 01:02:40 that you should get a tattoo of said radio station on your arm. It is all kind of ways to show you are riding for the station you are currently working at. How about wear a T-shirt with the station's logo on it? How about wear a hat with the station's logo on it? Put a bumper sticker of the station's logo on your car. Wear a damn jacket with the station's logo. But a tattoo? Why did he get the tat on his arm well let's hear
Starting point is 01:03:05 it from mason himself let's go to 92.3 wil so we played mason versus remy on the show remy and i compete i lost in the month of april and when you lose in our game you reach into the bag of cringe and whatever you pull out of that bag you have to do in order to make good for your loss. I pulled out tattoo and I got the 92.3 W.I.L. logo permanently tattooed on my body. Now, just because you pull tattoo out of a bag, right? The cringe bag, as they call it. Does it mean you had to get a permanent tattoo? Couldn't you get a temporary one? I'm sure.
Starting point is 01:03:41 It's like, Mason, you're a grown ass man. You had to know this wasn't a good idea. Some bets I'm just not participating in, okay? This is bigger than radio. I feel like there's someone out there in corporate America, just in the world right now, who needs to hear this, okay? That job you're working at is not dying for you, okay? That relationship you're in, that person is not dying for you, all right?
Starting point is 01:03:59 That job you're working at, you won't be able to pass along to your kids. That person you're with right now, you're not going to marry. Okay? I don't care how life-changing said job is right now. I promise you in the future you will move on. I don't care how good that raw pee-pee feels. In the future, I promise you, you will move on. Okay?
Starting point is 01:04:15 I don't care if you worked at that job for 20 years. Don't you dare get no tattoo of that station on your arm. I don't care how long you've been dating that person. If you're not married, don't even get that person's name tattooed on you, and even then don't do it. Now, you don't have to listen to me. Okay, we can use Mason as an example because the reason he's getting donkier today
Starting point is 01:04:34 is not just because he got the station logo tatted on his arm, but less than a week later, less than a week later, he was laid off from the same radio station. Oh, no! Listen, man, it hurts when people learn late what you learned early. There are no permanent friends or enemies when it comes to business.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Therefore, it should be no permanent tattoos. All right? This goes for jobs, relationships. The moral of the story is never make a permanent decision based off temporary feelings or temporary situations. Please give Mason Schroeder the biggest hee-haw. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-uh.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Damn it, meth. Uh-uh. You want to play a game? I do want to play a game. Okay, let's play a game of Guess What? Raisin' It! All right, what are my clues? All right, Mason Schreider.
Starting point is 01:05:24 Mason. He was part of a morning show called Mason and Remy in St. Louis. Mason and Remy. He got a tattoo of the station's logo on his arm, 92.3 WIL. Less than a week later, he was fired. DJ Envy, guess what race he is. This is a tough one. This is a tough one, right?
Starting point is 01:05:44 Because I'm trying to think of how many Masons that I know that are black or white, right? I know a lot of Masons that are black, right? Especially Mace that used to play for the New York Knicks, right? That was his last name, idiot. That's Anthony Mason. I guess you're right, yeah. Damn it, man. So that kills everything I was just thinking about.
Starting point is 01:05:59 This guy here, man. I don't know. Black people ain't tattooing stuff that they... Excuse me? What you about to say? I guess you so good. You got what was you about to say about black people? Yeah, you're right. I was gonna say we don't really chat to stuff that we don't Are you out of your goddamn mind? Thank you. I'm trying to put this together damn it We do you go to your car show in Atlanta and look at all the stupid tattoos you see right? All right, you you convinced me I'm black.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Damn, damn, damn. I didn't want to say that, but you convinced me. Let me ask DJ Dramos. DJ Dramos. Mason Schreider, part of a morning show called Mason and Remy. Got the tattoo of the station logo on his arm, 92.3 WIL. Mason Schreider. Guess what race he was, Dramos?
Starting point is 01:06:44 So, I mean mean Mason and Remy is the name of the morning show Remy makes me think of Remy Ma so maybe he's on like a urban radio station
Starting point is 01:06:52 as they call it it could be a drink too I think he's white though I'm gonna guess white
Starting point is 01:06:59 how you go white you just said everything that was urban this is just stupid things that white people do thinking it's funny that they would put a tattoo thing in the box. A whole tattoo. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:10 You ain't got to do that up here. Bro. Somebody's got to get shot over that. Let's be honest. Why? Why would somebody get shot? Bro, because that's extreme. You got to, come on now.
Starting point is 01:07:18 He has Wolverine tattooed in on his arm. I was 18 years old. Was that a part of a bet as well? No, it wasn't. That's what he was saying. Tattoos were illegal in South Carolina and this guy named T. Willis used to do tattoos. Bro, he wants to get a Wu-Tang logo on him right now, at a 40-year-old man. That means nothing.
Starting point is 01:07:33 That means nothing. Okay, I would like to tell you that DJ Envy, you are wrong. Yes! DJ Dramos, you are absolutely correct! Mason Streeter is indeed Caucasian, and I left out one of the big clues because it would have gave it away. He worked at a country music radio station. You tricked me, man.
Starting point is 01:07:54 You tricked me. Mason Streeter worked at a country music radio station. So guess what race he is. He's Caucasian. All right. All right. Lost that one. All right. All right. Lost that one. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, in the rumors, we were talking about Caitlyn Jenner. What were we talking about? This is what Caitlyn Jenner said. This is a question of fairness. That's why I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girls sports in school. It just isn't fair. And we have to protect girls sports in our schools.
Starting point is 01:08:31 But if someone transitions and now identifies as a girl, isn't it delegitimizing their identity to prevent them? Have a good day. Let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about trans girls competing in female sports. What are your thoughts? What do you think? Let's have a respectful conversation about it.
Starting point is 01:08:48 As long as everybody can be respectful, I think it's worth a conversation. Okay. Let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart?
Starting point is 01:09:01 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.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection. It was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay's okay like grace have grace with yourself
Starting point is 01:11:46 you're trying your best and you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing alicia keys like you've never heard her before listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts it's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Now if you just join us, during the rumors we were talking about Caitlyn Jenner. Caitlyn Jenner, she weighed in on a debate over transgender sports restrictions,
Starting point is 01:12:26 and this is what she said. This is a question of fairness. That's why I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girl sports in school. It just isn't fair. And we have to protect girl sports in our school. But if someone transitions and now identifies as a girl, isn't it delegitimizing their identity to prevent them? Have a good day.
Starting point is 01:12:48 So what's the question? So we're asking 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts? I agree with Caitlyn Jenner, and I think she is the best person to have this discussion. She was an Olympic athlete when she was Bruce Jenner, so she can speak to the advantages that a person who has transitioned from a man into a woman can have in that space. And, you know, and to sit around and act like they don't have an advantage over biological women is ridiculous,
Starting point is 01:13:12 especially in combat sports. So I totally agree with Caitlyn Jenner. Yeah, I agree as well. And like you said, she was a superstar athlete, so she would know. Perfect person to speak to this. Absolutely. Also, if you're a trans woman, I feel like you'd make more history playing men's sports,
Starting point is 01:13:29 identifying as a woman, because you'd be the first woman to play in these men's sports. Right. You know what I mean? You'd be the first woman in the NFL. You'd be the first woman to play in the NBA. I just feel like if you're a trans woman, you'd make more history playing men's sports.
Starting point is 01:13:42 All right. Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, we have Brittany on the line. Brittany, good morning. Good morning. Hey, what are your thoughts? So my whole thought is, because I have a transgender sister, my whole thought only is with the hormones.
Starting point is 01:13:56 I feel like if kids in high school start taking hormones early, because the hormones break down the testosterone in the body, then I feel like they should be able to play girls girl sports because they will be as strong as men. Oh, so you think it should be based on how long they've been taking the hormones? Yeah, if they take it early. Like, if you just dress like a girl and say, okay, I'm transgender, I want to play girl sports, and you still have the strength of a man, I don't think it would be fair for the other females in the school.
Starting point is 01:14:25 But if you start taking hormones in high school, then it breaks down the strength. You're going to be as strong. How long has your sister been transitioned? She's been transitioning for like 12 years. Okay, okay. Okay. Well, thank you, mama.
Starting point is 01:14:40 And I can physically beat her in a fight. Could you beat her before, though? No. Oh, okay, you, mama. And I can physically beat her in a fight. Could you beat her before, though? No. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Thank you. Hello, who's this? That's interesting. It is.
Starting point is 01:14:53 Hey, this is Jasmine. Hey, Jasmine. Hey, Jasmine. What are your thoughts? So I definitely agree with Caitlyn. I feel it's just a fairness thing. Nobody's trying to take anything away from them for the fact that they identify the woman by all means to be a thing but when you are born a male your hormones make you superior to females in certain areas like the strength so whether it's high school sports or
Starting point is 01:15:17 Olympic sports whatever the case is it's just not fair think about it like this they have special Olympics they have individuals that have disabilities that compete in their own lane. Imagine if we had fully able-bodied people competing against them. Everybody's going to have that same argument. That's not fair. A, B, C, S, Y, Z. So if you look at it like that, logically, come on, guys. No, I'm with you.
Starting point is 01:15:42 I like what you said about nobody's trying to take anything away from them because we're not and biological women don't want anything taken away from them exactly exactly and not to mention another point when you're born to women our hormones they kick our butt and so we need to contest it there's certain times of the month that we still have to perform under certain conditions they have that advantage off the bat. So when we're going through menstruation and stuff like that, and we still have to run track and lift weights and do all of this and perform under those conditions, that's going to take away from our performance. They don't have those trials and tribulations that they got to go through. Okay.
Starting point is 01:16:19 So they're always on 100% for the most part. Thank you for your opinion. Thank you, guys. Be safe. All right. That's all this is. This is a respectful conversation. We've heard both sides of the most part. Thank you for your opinion. Thank you, guys. Be safe. All right. This is a respectful conversation. We've heard both sides of the spectrum already. Right.
Starting point is 01:16:30 You know, one woman who has a trans sister says that it should happen. Like, it's fine as long as the person has been taking hormones early. Another woman says it shouldn't. 800-585-1051. We're asking, you know, Caitlyn Jenner spoke on trans girls competing in female sports and what her opinion was. So we're just asking, what's your opinion? Call us now at The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning-585-1051. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:17:07 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Caitlyn Jenner. Now, recently she did an interview with TMZ where she was actually walking to a car and they stopped and asked her a question about trans girls competing in female sports. And this is what she said. This is a question of fairness. That's why I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girl sports in school.
Starting point is 01:17:33 It just isn't fair, and we have to protect girl sports in our school. But if someone transitions and now identifies as a girl, isn't it delegitimizing their identity to prevent them? Have a good day. I told y'all I agree with Caitlyn Jenner. And like I said earlier, she's the best person to have the discussion. She was an Olympic athlete when she was Bruce.
Starting point is 01:17:52 So she can speak to the advantages that a woman who has transitioned from a man can have in that space. And, you know, it's just foolish to sit around and act like they don't have an advantage over biological women, you know, especially in combat sports. So I totally agree with Caitlyn Jenner.
Starting point is 01:18:08 Hello, who's this? My name is Chastity. What's happening, Chastity? Chastity just hit me, and she said that she's a trans woman of color, and she has a strong opinion about it. And we wanted to give her a call. So good morning, Chastity. What's your opinion?
Starting point is 01:18:21 Good morning. As the director of the Trans Emergency Fund of Massachusetts, you know, I see it all too well where people who have funds and money to support themselves don't see the real issues in our community. And if you have transgender children who are taking hormone therapy before the age of 10, by their teenagers, their DNA is no longer male. And I think people are missing that fact. Years of hormone, me being on hormone for many years, I don't have the strength of a man. And I think people are missing that fact.
Starting point is 01:18:54 Yeah, I mean, you're the second person who called in and said that to us this morning, so should it be a matter of how long you've been transitioning or taking hormones? I can say yes. As long as you are on hormone therapy, I think that you should be able to play the sports that you identify with. Now, see, I'm a trans woman. Don't play with little boys playing football.
Starting point is 01:19:13 Absolutely not. Hold on. Say that again. So I'm saying should trans little girls who identify as trans, they shouldn't be allowed to be cheerleaders, but they should be allowed to play football? You're saying they shouldn't? I'm saying thatleaders, but they should be allowed to play football. You're saying they shouldn't? I'm saying that it's a disconnect because if people are saying trans girls,
Starting point is 01:19:32 little girls, cannot play cheerleader, cannot be a cheerleader, but they can be a football player. So now you have a female-identified child playing football with boys. It just doesn't make sense. Well, trans girls could be cheerleaders because i mean there's there's young men who are cheerleaders in grade school exactly so that's the case and they should be able to be uh football players and basketball players female sports it shouldn't be an issue as long as they're taking hormone therapy
Starting point is 01:19:58 okay yes as long as they're taking hormone therapy but shouldn't they be on hormones for a certain amount of time i mean that, that's a decision for one doctor. Because you have to think about the fact that I have access to hormone therapy here in Massachusetts. Many states, trans folks don't have that access. I know you said it's very expensive. How much is it, just so people know? It could be thousands of dollars. Like I said, fortunately here in Massachusetts, we have health insurance
Starting point is 01:20:25 that covers our hormones and trans-related surgeries. And I think once the rest of the country gets on to this, then maybe they can see, like, listen, these people are not
Starting point is 01:20:35 just saying they want to be somebody else. Like, I would not wake up and wish what I've been through on nobody. Absolutely. No, I understand. But that's who we are.
Starting point is 01:20:44 Well, thank you for calling. And we're going to save your number. So if we ever have questions or any type of topics like this, we can give you a call if you don't mind. This is another perspective, though. I thank you because, I mean, somebody else called in and said the same thing.
Starting point is 01:20:57 I never knew anything about the hormone, taking the hormones. Definitely. I'm definitely always available for you all. Thank you, Chastity. Thank you. All right. Well, what's the moral of the story if there is a moral i don't think it is a moral i think it's just a conversation you know what i mean i mean it's it's as long as you can be respectful and you know have the conversation from an honest place and you know nobody's because nobody's trying to take anything away from the trans community and you know biological women
Starting point is 01:21:23 don't want anything taken away from them so i think it's all worth a conversation all right when we come back we got to tell you about floyd mayweather and uh what he has going on he was recently on million dollars a game and we'll tell you million dollars worth a game it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club ab do your job and turn the microphones on. Happy Monday, people. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:21:51 Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Michael B. Jordan. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Now, I have this problem as well, all right? Michael B. Jordan says, being the sexiest man alive is a gift and a curse.
Starting point is 01:22:10 He said that about himself? That's arrogant. Why would he call himself the sexiest man alive? Oh, because People Magazine called him the sexiest man alive. Yes. Okay, gotcha. Yeah, it is a gift and a curse. So that's not arrogant.
Starting point is 01:22:20 I know exactly how he feels. Shut up. You don't find me sexy? No. Y'all sound stupid. Continue. It's a gift and a curse, you know. He says, people don't tell you that you instantly have a target on your back. I bet.
Starting point is 01:22:39 He says, I mean, all my boys in every group chat, just imagine they're just constantly roasting me. That's what Jordan said on Fabulous. A lot of that can be some hate and slight envy and slight jealousy. You know what I mean? I don't even know how you acknowledge that. How do you congratulate your boy on that?
Starting point is 01:22:57 Congrats on being the sexiest man alive. Thank you. Shut up. Well, we have audio of him talking about it. It's a gift and a curse. You know, people don't tell you you instantly have a target on your back. I mean, all my boys, you know, in every group chat, just imagine just constantly roasting me.
Starting point is 01:23:14 It's like everything I do is like, oh, it's because the sexiest man alive is taking off his jacket. Oh, look at the way he wears his shirt. He eats like the sexiest man alive. It's like, all right, it's enough. But on the other hand, my mom and my aunts, you know, they have it kind of vacuum sealed, you know what I mean? And like, you know, saran wrap, you know,
Starting point is 01:23:31 that's like up on the mantle because they They bought every issue, yeah, off the newsstand. Everyone. Yeah, you might need to watch your circle. That sounds like a little bit of hate, though. It do. If your boys are constantly talking about that over and over, that sounds like a little bit of hate, though. It do. If your boys are constantly talking about that over and over,
Starting point is 01:23:45 that sounds like a little bit of slight envy. That was a fun. What? His friends are just having fun with him. Yeah. You know. That happens to me all the time. You wouldn't understand.
Starting point is 01:23:55 This guy's still talking. Shut up. All right. Now, Floyd Mayweather, he was talking to Gilly the King and Wallow on their podcast, and he was talking about who was one of the best fighters he faced. The best fighter out far probably was Manny Pacquiao because it is movement but the roughest fighter probably was a guy
Starting point is 01:24:15 named Emmanuel Augustus. You talking about the drunken master? The drunken master. The drunken master. It was tough. Because he was awkward huh? It was just tough and Miguel Cottootto was very, very physically strong. So you got different fighters.
Starting point is 01:24:29 Different days, you feel different ways. Do you miss the roar of the crowd? Nah, I'm okay. Let's move to my guys, Gilly and Wallo, Million Dollars Worth of Game podcast. They out here cooking in these streets. They sure are. Now, they talk about fighting Logan Paul.
Starting point is 01:24:44 It was crazy that everybody keep asking me, why you not coming back to fight? So I look at the fight game. I said, sure. Now, they talk about fighting Logan Paul. It was crazy that everybody keep asking me, why you not coming back to fight? So I look at the fight game. I said, okay, fighters fighting, they make $3 million, $4 million, $6 million, $7 million. Some may make $10 or $20 million. But I'm doing exhibitions, and I'm making $25 million, $100 million for exhibitions.
Starting point is 01:25:03 So why would I come back and fight and get a guaranteed $35 million when I'm doing exhibitions and getting $100 million? I mean, I get it. He's absolutely right. I respect it on a business level, but I just don't agree with it. You know what I mean? Just because he's Floyd Mayweather. What the hell has Logan Paul done to be in the ring with Floyd Mayweather
Starting point is 01:25:22 other than have a bunch of Instagram followers and a bunch of views on YouTube? Like to be in the ring with Floyd Mayweather other than have a bunch of Instagram follows and a bunch of views on YouTube? Like, to be in the ring with Floyd Mayweather is a privilege and it's an honor and it's a guaranteed payday. But what has Logan Paul done to get that guaranteed payday? I'm with you. All right, now, but I do want to see the fight. Not me.
Starting point is 01:25:38 Now, Blueface, you know, earlier this week, earlier last week, he was accused of running a cult because he had uh allegedly a bunch of women living with him but now he's being accused of assault after allegedly beating up his girlfriend's neighbor what the hell did you just play? All right, so that was allegedly Blueface beating up the neighbor. And they believe that maybe the rapper's girlfriend recorded it. Bro, stop snitching, bro. It's everywhere.
Starting point is 01:26:15 It's viral, bro. It's viral. I know nothing about that story. It's viral, man. We a whole 6ix9ine out here in this street. Oh, wow. All right, and lastly, it seems like people got on Big Sean over the weekend. They were making fun of his lyrics.
Starting point is 01:26:28 Did you see this? I did. But that happens all the time on social media. For some reason, that happens at least once a year where they get on Big Sean about his lyrics. But what happened? It was mostly about this song right here. I need some salmon.
Starting point is 01:26:39 That need a plate. That need a chef. So I feed my save. My crew is who I be. Whittity whittity. Rosé. I zippity zippity. I'm quagmire. I f*** my cash flow. I giggity giggity. Oh chef, so I feed my save. My crew is who I be, whittity-whittin'. Rosé, I zippity-zippin'. I'm quagmire.
Starting point is 01:26:46 I f*** my cash flow. I giggity-gig. Oh, boy, I'm quagmire. I'm a mania. I'm a mania. I'm a mania. It's like 10 years old. Insaniate.
Starting point is 01:26:52 Pulling up a Mercedes. Rolling up like I'm Damien. I love girls that's Arabian, Albanian, Caucasian. I ride around getting craniums. My d*** is hard as titanium. I don't know why. I feel like I'm tripping, but that song is old as hell. It is. And I don't know why they keep bringing it back up.
Starting point is 01:27:06 That song came out in 2011. This week they were calling him the worst rapper ever. No, stop it. Which is not true at all. First of all, Big Sean can rap his ass off. He definitely can. All right, this is one of those things that pop up on social media from time to time when people debate whether Big Sean, you know, raps or corny.
Starting point is 01:27:23 Lyrically, delivery, flow, content, Big Sean checks all boxes. He gets busy. He is an emcee. He does. I don't know what the hell y'all talking about. Yes. Drop on the clues bombs for Big Sean. Are you crazy?
Starting point is 01:27:35 Are you dumb? People were mad because he was blocking people as they were putting this stupidness out. That's right. He protecting his peace. His mental health awareness month. Okay, I got to protect my peace of mind. I don't want to see all that negative energy on my timeline.
Starting point is 01:27:46 It's one thing to have an opinion, but they literally do this to Big Sean like once a year. Like once a year, they just get on Big Sean about his lyrics, and I don't understand why. Big Sean gets busy. Like, it's stupid. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Angela Yee will be back tomorrow. Shout to Revolt.
Starting point is 01:28:02 We'll see you guys tomorrow as well. I had everybody else. The People's Choice mixes up next. Let's go. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line, Dr. Cameron Webb.
Starting point is 01:28:16 Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Now, for people that don't know, I know you work at the White House. So what do you do for the White House? So I'm a senior policy advisor for equity on the White House COVID response team. So we're the team that's responsible for really the whole response, the whole effort to make
Starting point is 01:28:33 sure that we're navigating this pandemic, getting things back to normal, getting folks vaccinated, saving lives. And my focus is on making sure that we're doing that in an equitable way, making sure that communities of color aren't left behind, that rural communities aren't left behind, that we're keeping an eye on all the populations that have been disproportionately affected. And so that's the work.
Starting point is 01:28:52 So the response was effed up from the old administration. We all know that. So I guess now you guys are trying to fix what the old administration just ignored and thought wasn't going to be anything serious. Well, I think that you're right. There were a lot of deficits from when we came in on January 20th. And so we're starting from that point, recognizing that we didn't have any time to spare. So there was a lot to do. And I mean,
Starting point is 01:29:13 if you look back, even last April, this time last year, Black communities were seeing about four times the cases, the Latinx community seeing four times the cases of the white community. So we knew from the very beginning that this was a huge equity challenge. And if you fast forward to where we are today, yes, some of those numbers have shifted, but the challenges remain and the pandemic has had a really disproportionate impact. So, so much of our work has been trying to right that shift, trying to narrow those gaps and get it to the point where it's fair for everyone. Now, I see the administration
Starting point is 01:29:45 is concerned about the fact that it seems like we've hit a wall, right? A lot of people are not trying to get vaccinated. At first, it was happening really, really quickly, but now it seems like people are not showing up for that. What are you guys going to, planning to do about that? And what do you think the reason for it is? Well, I would disagree. I don't think we've hit a wall. We're still doing about 3 million shots a day. So we're still vaccinating quite a few people. I think that part of what you're referring to, though, is some of the stats that we've seen, some of the recent articles about vaccine appointments going unfilled in certain parts of the country. So there's still a lot of
Starting point is 01:30:18 confidence work that we have to do. And that's not just confidence in the safety or the efficacy of the vaccine. We've made a lot of those arguments. I think in some instances, some people just feel like they don't necessarily need to get vaccinated. They're waiting to see if everybody else gets vaccinated, maybe they can get the benefit of the herd immunity. So what we're doing is we're pushing to make sure that everybody knows the value and the benefit of vaccination to them specifically. And we're also making sure that no county, no city, no community is left behind in this, right? And so that's a really targeted effort. We're working with community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, trusted messengers, just making sure we're getting the
Starting point is 01:30:53 information to people in a way that they can trust in and rely on. Okay, so you talk about the COVID cases in the U.S. and the things that you just talked about, right? And now we look at a place like, let's say, Texas, right? Texas said, F your mask. Everything's wide open. F this. And you don't see the cases necessarily rising like a place like New York or New Jersey who has all these mandates and you have to wear a mask. So what do you say for something like that? Like to people are saying in Texas that, you know, the cases are not shooting up like New York and New Jersey. And we still have all these mandates, still have to wear masks. Still, you know, they just raised the capacity to 50 percent in restaurants. And, you know, you can still only on on indoor events only have 250 people.
Starting point is 01:31:32 So it's but then you look at Texas and they open open. Yeah. No, no. Two communities are the same. Those public health measures, wearing a mask, maintaining physical distance, you know, and also handwashing. Those are critical components. And then the last of course is getting vaccinated when it's your turn. You never know when your community is gonna be the next one that's hard hit.
Starting point is 01:31:51 And we've seen that time and time again in this pandemic. So those public health measures are to protect you from potential surge, to protect those cases from getting into your community and moving quickly. And so I'm a practicing internal medicine doctor. I work in the coronavirus unit at my hospital at the University of Virginia. So you've seen many times over the course of this pandemic
Starting point is 01:32:12 where suddenly you get this kind of series of cases from the same community because they may not have been adhering to those policies as well. So sometimes it's the better part of valid to be safe. And our thought is we get through this pandemic faster if we all maintain those public health procedures while we're getting everyone vaccinated. Gotcha.
Starting point is 01:32:33 You think that confidence has also waned because of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and they paused it, and now it's back open again. But what do you think that did as far as people who were already a little skeptical about getting vaccinated? Well, it's kind of an interesting effect because for a lot of people, you know, we saw at that time it was six cases out of 7.2 million shots of Johnson & Johnson. So for a lot of people, we were hearing them say, you're pausing it over only six cases. It showed that our vaccine monitoring, our monitoring for adverse events was working, and we were able to detect really rare adverse events. Now, that said, for some people, they look at that and they say, hey, that's pretty scary. And our response to that is,
Starting point is 01:33:13 well, we took a two-week pause. We had this whole process. We brought together the scientific leaders, the experts. They had not one, but two convenings. And ultimately, they came to the conclusion that it's safe to proceed with this vaccine, that the risk of adverse events was incredibly low. And we'd give an additional warning. So now our doctors like myself, we know what to look for. You know, people know what the risk is. And we have two other vaccines that are highly effective, highly safe as well. So people do still have that choice. And so I think it's it works because Johnson and Johnson is a unique vaccine out of the three. Yeah. But it's scary. They put a label
Starting point is 01:33:48 on it that says could get blood clots. And it's like, what does that do for people now? Like, even though it's a small percentage, you're still like, well, maybe I don't want to take the Johnson and Johnson, you know, and then Pfizer just came out and said, Hey, we might need an additional third shot. You know? So it seems like this is, it's almost like we're the hamsters and they're trying us and be like, you know what's let's switch this which is very scary yeah and you know what i've seen i've seen a lot of blood clots and it's from covid covid the the you know virus that that disease that we're all contending with has caused a lot of blood clots far more than any vaccine and so the risk of blood cl, the risk of severe disease from COVID far outweighs
Starting point is 01:34:25 the risk of anything with the vaccine. So that's the first thing to keep in mind. This is the risk benefit analysis. But the other thing is, this is what's unique about our administration's approach to this. We focused in on science. So none of the recommendations are just experimentation. None of the recommendations are just the best guess. They're all rooted in numbers and data and science and people. And at this point we've've had, you know, well over 100 million folks who've been vaccinated, over 90 million fully vaccinated. We've monitored what's happened with every person who's been vaccinated, who's signed up. And so for us, we're keeping close track on how this is playing out. And I always tell people this story, right? I'm the third of six kids. I got two
Starting point is 01:35:03 parents and a wife that I love, all adults. And for all of us, we've gotten, you know, some of my family have gotten Pfizer, some Moderna, some Johnson and Johnson. I believe every family member of mine has gotten a life-saving vaccine. You know, it's protected from the worst of COVID. And that is a huge source of relief for me. And I think for other families like mine. All right. Well, Dr. Cameron Webb, we appreciate you for checking in and hopefully we'll see you soon. All right. I'll take care. Now, a shout to everybody that will be heading to my car show. Carchella, July 3rd in Atlanta. Your favorite celebrity cars will be there.

Starting point is 01:36:26 country we built uh being out in bookstores uh you can still pre-order now but i'm super excited about that because that's the first release of my book in print black privilege publishing tamika mallory state of emergency how to win in the country we built i cannot wait to see how tamika's literary energy impacts the ecosystem. So make sure y'all pre-order that. I'm going to buy a bunch of books and give it to people at the car show as a VIP package.
Starting point is 01:36:54 That would be incredible. Definitely do that. The positive note is this. The first step of change is to become aware of your own BS. Breakfast club, bitches! Y'all finished or y'all done? What up, y'all?
Starting point is 01:37:06 It's DJ Envy, and we're back, and we're kicking it with Mountain Dew, and we're talking about their Real Change Opportunity Fund. Now, the Real Change Opportunity Fund is uplifting Black entrepreneurs, and we're here with the third-place winner, George Akyonpong. Did I say your last name right? You said it right, man. I've been practicing all day. I was like, Akyonpong, Akyonp Punk. Well, welcome. Now you have a business, The Pocket
Starting point is 01:37:28 Advisor. So break down what The Pocket Advisor is all about. Absolutely. So The Pocket Advisor is a financial social network for aspiring first-generation millionaires. And so the goal of Pocket Advisor was to bring together the best and brightest financial minds, whether it's in real estate, stock market, investing, financial advising, tax planning, and give you those advisors right in your pocket for a very, very affordable price so that our community specifically could have the insight they need to navigate their life financially. Now, what inspired your business? I mean, we hear it all the time that our community needs to learn more about financial freedom and more about generating
Starting point is 01:38:02 the wealth. So what inspired your business? Yeah, so I became a financial advisor about 10 years ago. And the firm that I was working with, they told me to make a list of 200 people that I wanted to make my clients. So friends, family, colleagues, etc. But it had some specific criteria, you had to have a certain net worth a certain income and a certain amount of investable assets. I was like, I must not know where I come from, because this list is gonna go from 200 to maybe two people at best. And so I knew that that didn't change the fact that my community needed access to those resources. And so I wanted to create a business model where I could serve the people that I care about and the people that look like me to make sure that they weren't blocked out of an industry that, you know,
Starting point is 01:38:40 had these prerequisites that people had to have in order to work with an advisor. What gave you that mind frame? Was it attending an HBCU? Was it your community or, you know, had these prerequisites that people had to have in order to work with an advisor. What gave you that mind frame? Was it attending an HBCU? Was it your community or, you know, what gave you that mindset? You know, I have to make sure I help my own. Yeah. I mean, I think, you know, just, just growing up, right. You know, looking, looking around in my community and being young and not necessarily knowing like what the struggle or the strain was, but starting to get a little bit older and connecting the dots that a lot of the stress, a lot of the anxiety was tied to finances. Right. And so I was like, you know, I don't want that to be a barrier for people, you know, if I can be a resource to help them. Now, what do you think
Starting point is 01:39:13 about your business that made it stand out from the hundreds of submissions that we got? You know, what made people you think come to your business and said, you know what, this is great for the community. I think this is the, this is one of those ones. Yeah. I mean, I'm thinking it's because our mission to impact the community as it relates to financial literacy, right? And so when you think about, like I said, some of the stressors and concerns that people have, money is at the top of the list. And when you have a platform that not only is giving you those resources, but also giving you access to people that typically you have to pay thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars to connect with, I think it really resonated because everybody can agree that having less financial stress can be super beneficial. Now, what does this competition
Starting point is 01:39:54 in this process mean to you? You know, like, were you having a hard time getting money and raising money? Like, what was this competition? What does it mean to you and your business? Yeah, what it means to me is that it validates the need, number one. And it gives me and my team the encouraging boost that we need to keep doing this work because it's not easy. You have a lot of experts who are making a sacrifice because they believe in the mission.
Starting point is 01:40:16 They could go out and charge somebody 10, $20,000 a year to work with them one-on-one, but they know that, hey, look, that's gonna still, again, block out a lot of people. So I think it gives my team a lot of more morale boost to know that our mission is needed. It's kind of a slight validation and we're excited to keep the mission going. Now that you got this money, what's the goal? What's the plan? What are you going to do with the funds? How are you going to expand the business and take it to the next level? Yeah. So the first thing we're going to do
Starting point is 01:40:40 is we're going to start building now our proprietary algorithm called Axe Penny. And so if you think about like, well, I don't want to say any brands on there, but if you think about like any voice activated device where you can say, hey, and you ask it a question, we want to take all the data that we're getting from our users, all the data that we're getting from our creators, our financial experts, and put that into a device that allows people to ask it a question with the proper context to be able to answer it, right? So instead of into a device that allows people to ask it a question with the proper context to be able to answer it, right? So instead of just a bot that doesn't really know what your situation is, we want this tool to really have the context to be able to answer your question in a thorough and meaningful way. So that way, it doesn't matter how many experts we have on the
Starting point is 01:41:18 platform, we have a tool that's always designed to be able to answer your questions for you. Now, when do you think you're going to be able to kick this app off and it'll be ready for the public? Yeah. So the good news is we have a beta version in the app store right now that's on another community platform. So if you go to mypocketadvisor.com, you can sign up today and we have an active and thriving community. And I would just reiterate that the most value add piece of the technology is the human element, right? Is the access to us. And I would just reiterate that the most value add piece of the technology is the human element, right? Is the access to us. And so as we're building out these other pieces behind the scenes, I'm answering questions in real time. Other advisors are answering questions in real
Starting point is 01:41:53 time. And you can sign up for that today at mypocketadvisor.com. What's the biggest thing that people want to know about on the app right now? Like what is the thing that people are like, I need to know about this. What is the thing that people are driving to right now? Yeah. Everybody's asking about two things, I would say probably neck and neck is, is crypto currency, everybody wants to know what they need to do with Bitcoin, is it the right play? And I would say NFTs as well. And then the other piece is just general like stock market investing, because during the pandemic, everybody was talking about investing in the stock market. And now that the market's, you know, starting to regulate a little more and there's a little more volatility,
Starting point is 01:42:26 people are looking for guidance on how to still make smart plays. All right. Well, we wish you the best and congratulations as well. Thank you for having me.
