Episode Date: June 8, 2021

In addition they also opened up the phone lines to see of out listeners will stand by their friends side with any situtation after Tory Lanez opened up about many of friends turning his back on him after his situation with Megan Thee Stallion. Also, Charlamagne gave his "Donkey of the Day" to another Floridian, will they ever learn?

Starting point is 00:02:37 I feel great. Man, life is good. Today is June 8th, right? Drop on the clues box for all the Geminis out there. I got a lot of Gemini folks in my life. Geminis are the craziest. Man, they're a little different. They're definitely a little different, but they're very good people.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Well, that side of them is very good. The other side is just, you know, we don't know. Well, aside from the Geminis, shout out to our Brooklyn Nets. Bucks and seven. You still screaming that? Bucks and seven. Yeah, I think last still screaming that? Nah, B. Bucks and seven. Yeah, I think last night was a good precursor to your prediction. I don't know if we can listen to you,
Starting point is 00:03:09 actually. You say what? I don't think we can listen to you. You said the Knicks was going to come out. I picked the Suns. Relax. Listen, you don't always get it right. Well, you had a 50% chance. No, no, no. Nobody gets it right all the time. By the way, have you ever watched ESPN? Do you think those guys ever get it right? The whole inside the NBA crew, well, not all of them it right all the time. By the way, have you ever watched ESPN? Do you think those guys, do you have guys that ever get it right?
Starting point is 00:03:25 The whole inside the NBA crew, well, not all of them. Shaq and Charles Barkley definitely picked the Bucs, but I got the Bucs in seven. You said you wasn't going to watch the Floyd fight. You ordered that. Oh, that was different. That was just a change of heart. I can't believe you. I can't trust you.
Starting point is 00:03:37 I'll change my mind, too. If the Nets win. If the Nets win, I'm going to change my mind, too. I'm like, it is what it is. Listen, I reserve the right to be wrong. Okay? All I'm saying is Bucs in seven. I know it's 2-0 now, but that's why it's a seven-game series.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Well, shout out to our Brooklyn Nets. They won by 39 points yesterday. Yeah, it was nasty. That was their biggest playoff win in Nets history. Yeah, it was nasty. Nets look really good. First two games. Goodness gracious.
Starting point is 00:04:03 That was nasty. But you still got the Bucs in seven, right? Bucs in seven. Okay. You got to stay with it. He said it a couple days ago. Bucs are a good team. First two games. Goodness gracious. That was nasty. But you still got the Bucs in seven, right? Bucs in seven. Okay. You got to stay with it. He said it a couple days ago. Bucs are a good team. Don't sleep.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Salute to Milwaukee. You know what I'm saying? The first city to syndicate us. All right? Drop on the blue box. That is true. V100.7. The Bucs are a really good team.
Starting point is 00:04:16 That is true. All right? Now, if the Nets go to Milwaukee and do what they've been doing in Brooklyn, it's a different ball game. But I think Bucs in seven. All right. We'll keep this. Is James Harden back
Starting point is 00:04:26 next game? Do we know that? How's his hamstring? I wouldn't come back if I was him. Why? He wants to play. They're up 2-0. They still have a championship to win. They still got the Eastern Conference Finals. Still got the championship. If he's not ready to come back, there's no need to rush.
Starting point is 00:04:41 It's not like they need the help. It doesn't look like they need the help. If they was down 0-2, okay, I might be saying, alright, James Harden, come back. They don't need the help, I don't think. Yeah, but if he's doing right, he's coming back. He wants to play. It's playoff time. Bucks in seven. Oh my gosh, alright. And if the Nets win in seven, I'm going to say Bucks in eight.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Bucks in eight, my goodness. Alright, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about next? Well, since we're talking about Bucks, let's talk about Buckhead. In Atlanta, they are talking about filing for divorce from Atlanta and forming their own city. What? What? Y'all acting like Florida.
Starting point is 00:05:16 It sounds very Florida, Buckhead. I need to hear more. Bucsonate now. Bucsonate. I need to hear more, Buckhead. Goodness gracious. All right, we'll get to it next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela All right, we'll get to it next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. All right. NBA last night. We talked about it earlier. The Brooklyn Nets. I'm looking for the
Starting point is 00:05:40 score. Yeah, they won last night. 125-86. Bucks in seven. Phoenix beat Denver 122-105. Drop on the clues box for Phoenix. Them Suns look good, Demi. Suns look good, too. Suns look good, too. And tonight Atlanta takes on Philly, alright?
Starting point is 00:05:55 And also Utah takes on the Clippers. Now what else we got, Ye? Alright, well let's talk about this COVID crime wave. According to Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms in Atlanta, the city is facing a COVID crime wave. According to Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms in Atlanta, the city is facing a COVID crime wave. Homicides are up by about 63% compared to the same time last year. And Buckhead is trying to file for divorce and form their own city. They said, we're establishing our own police force and we will eradicate crime. They said the crime has gotten to a point where it's just unmanageable and it seems like there is no end in sight. Some Buckhead
Starting point is 00:06:26 residents say they're paying too much in taxes and not getting that bang back for their buck citing concerns with local public schools, broken infrastructure, and lagging public services like waste collection. Don't blame this on COVID though. COVID just exposed all the underlying conditions that already existed in these communities. COVID crippled
Starting point is 00:06:42 the economy. These people were already not doing well financially. So after last year, they damn sure not doing well. But I also feel like a lot of people went to Atlanta because it was open. What do you mean? That don't live there. Oh yeah, but I'm just saying don't blame it on COVID. It's the fact that people are hurting financially.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Crime is up everywhere. Yeah, that's why they're committing crimes because people are hurting financially right now. Alright, well we'll see what happens with that. And there's a new Alzheimer's drug that's the first of its kind to be FDA approved. But there are a lot of risks along with taking this. But it's been a major development for patients in the biotech industry. They said this is the first time we have any new approved treatment for Alzheimer's disease
Starting point is 00:07:21 over the past two decades. So this new drug is called Aduhelm, and it's for treating early Alzheimer's disease. So if you find out early on, you get those signs early enough, then you can actually try this. It's been conditionally approved by the FDA. And, yes, this is something that is encouraging for the one in nine Americans over the age of 65 who are facing a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. According to the Alzheimer's Association, over 5 million Americans have it,
Starting point is 00:07:50 and this number is expected to more than double by 2050. How do you know what the signs are early on? Do people with Alzheimer's know they have it? No. A lot of times, no. And sometimes people around you can recognize it, though. Yeah. You can't remember something.
Starting point is 00:08:02 You can't remember somebody's name. You don't remember. Like I had a neighbor that couldn't remember how to get home. So he was stuck on the side of the road. Didn't know how to eat. Didn't know if they should be using their fork or their spoon. Also like my mother-in-law
Starting point is 00:08:17 didn't know who her daughter was. Like little things like that but it would come in and out. But they said this drug has a bunch of side effects but I mean if they had the opportunity to get it, I mean, to help them out, I would. You want to know what the side effects are? Yeah, please. Some of the potential side effects are brain swelling,
Starting point is 00:08:33 tiny bleeding in the brain, and so now they said it's still light years from where we were, though, and I think studies should continue now that the drug is approved. I don't know if I'll take the bleeding in the brain. Those aren't good pros and cons. Some people are saying that the possible side effects outweigh the benefits. I agree.
Starting point is 00:08:52 I don't know about that one. Bleeding on the brain, brain swelling. I think I'll pass for right now. I waited that a little longer. I guess it gives people hope, though, that as they're trying to develop this, you know, that potentially they're working on it. And you said they approved it? It's conditionally approved.
Starting point is 00:09:06 I think this is all about what you forget, right? What all time is, right? What you mean? I mean, because there's some memories you want to get rid of, but there's some things you don't. You can't control it, though. You can't pick and choose. Oh, see? That would be like that movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Starting point is 00:09:21 That's what that was about? Yeah. No, you can pick and choose your memories? Yeah, you can erase your memory. Oh, that'd be amazing. All right, well, that is your front page news. All right, get it off your chest.

Starting point is 00:17:14 Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you've been someone who hasn't necessarily filed for taxes in the past, you may be missing out on money coming back to you in COVID times. Eric Smith of the IRS says it's important for both first-time filers and people who don't usually file because their income is fairly low. For someone in that situation who may have some income or they
Starting point is 00:17:39 may have no income at all, they typically don't file a return. But if they did, they would qualify in many cases for those special payments that were issued last year and that are available on the 2020 return through the recovery rebate credit. Smith adds that the IRS has tried to make it pretty easy for first-time filers or those who usually don't file, even if there's only one reason to file. People can use free file if they want to take advantage of that option, even if their only reason for filing a return is to claim the recovery rebate credit. I'm Mike Bauer.

Starting point is 00:25:57 credit power 105 one weather this report is sponsored by Duncan. Power 105.1. See, that's part of the problem, right? What's the problem? As a DJ, and even when you listen to the radio. You a DJ? Right, so, like this song right here. Nobody ever plays the full version of this song. They play the part with the dance, and then it goes. This song is too long.
Starting point is 00:26:21 I don't know what the hell you're complaining about this morning. This song is too long. Nobody plays the full version of this song. So you want a TikTok version? Yes. Just the first verse and the hook. You want radio to do TikTok songs? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Listen, by the way, that might not be a bad way to program in the future. Yeah, you play a verse and a hook just in and out. It's possible. All right. You want to mix in the morning? Yeah. Do that. I ain't doing that.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Exactly. So stop playing. Well, the way my contract is. You want to mix in the morning? Yeah. Do that. I ain't doing that. Exactly. So stop playing. Well, the way my contract is. You a DJ. The way my contract is, we'd have to renegotiate. Oh, please. Okay. Anyway, let's get to the rumors.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Let's talk Showtime. Listen up. It's just the end. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. With Angela Yee.
Starting point is 00:27:04 It's the rumor report. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Showtime is offering pay-per-view refunds after that fight crash, Floyd Mayweather versus Logan Paul. The live stream was crashing. So imagine you pay $49.99 to see the fight, but then there were several stream crashes mid-broadcast. Yeah, I was wondering, because in a couple of my group chats, people was like, yo, my
Starting point is 00:27:24 scream just went out. And I was like, not mine. I was watching on Showtime pay-per-view. Yeah, I was wondering because in a couple of my group chats, people was like, yo, my scream just went out and I was like, not mine. I was watching on Showtime pay-per-view. Yeah, I was good. I wonder if that affects the money that they get
Starting point is 00:27:31 from, you know, because then you have to give out refunds and Floyd's expecting to get. Oh, yeah, it affects their money. Yeah, it would have to if they're getting
Starting point is 00:27:38 a piece of the pay-per-view revenue because that's revenue that's going back. Man, that sucks. How can they tell if yours crashed or not? Like, could anybody just say mine kept crashing? I have no idea. You's going back. Man, that sucks. How can they tell if yours crashed or not? Could anybody just say mine kept crashing?
Starting point is 00:27:47 I have no idea. You know, back in the, well, it doesn't matter now, but when I was a kid, we used to do that all the time. We used to watch the wrestling thing, and it was expensive back then. And be like, oh, well, it crashed. I never got to see it. And then you always would refund.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Yeah, you know, there's no statute of limitations on that. And you got to be careful with that, too, because there's a lot of people who might just have been disappointed in the fight calling to get a refund and lying about the stream crashing. That is true, too. Now, there's all these conspiracy theories as well. Some people think that that clip that shows Floyd Mayweather holding up Logan Paul after knocking him out is part of a conspiracy, that there was some money that Floyd had on
Starting point is 00:28:22 the fight and he wanted to influence the outcome by not letting him get knocked out. Huh? So how did he wake him up? He knocked him out, he held him for one second and was like, get up, get up, get up, and he got back up? And it's like a clip that was circulating, but obviously when you don't see the full clip,
Starting point is 00:28:38 you can't really see everything that happened because he was hanging on to him, but he was still throwing punches. He wasn't unconscious or staggering. But here's what Logan Paul had to say about this conspiracy theory. Yo, I'm seeing this narrative going around that there's one part in the fight where Floyd punched me and I kind of like leaned on him a little bit and it looks like I kind of went limp and people are trying to spin it and say that he knocked me out and caught me and
Starting point is 00:29:00 kept me up to keep the fight going to the eighth round. Shut the fuck up. Like fight going to the eighth round. Shut the f*** up. Like, just shut the f*** up. Like, stop trying to discredit what happened last night. Floyd would have gotten paid regardless, and he probably would have gotten more if he knocked him down. I'm sure that there was bets that Floyd was going to knock him out. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:29:19 So what would Floyd gain by holding him up? Absolutely. In a conspiracy theory, you would tell other people what to bet on and make a whole lot of money because you already knew what the outcome would be. And it's going to go the distance? I ain't going to lie. In the fourth round, when I seen Floyd coming up and he was swinging like crazy when he first came out,
Starting point is 00:29:36 I said, oh, Floyd's trying to knock him out in the fourth round. All right. Now, Robert Kraft got a surprise gift. And that gift, for him turning 80 years old was a Bentley from Jay-Z Meek Mill and Michael Rubin very easy for me to hate on this continue very easy all right so you get to see Michael Rubin actually giving him the present we knew you wouldn't get it yourself you know you went all in for this house, so we thought it was in the top of your list. Oh, my. We thought we'd get you the car that you were looking for.
Starting point is 00:30:06 That's exactly what... Oh, man. This came from Meek and Jay and Will and Alan and Des. And Jonathan. Oh, my God. That's exactly... How the fudge did you get it? Because we couldn't get it.
Starting point is 00:30:20 We didn't have resources. Come on, now. You should be able to get any car. Next time you have a problem getting a car, call me. With the amount of money and resources you have, I can get you any car you need. God bless Hov. God bless Michael Rubin.
Starting point is 00:30:31 God bless Meek Mill for being great friends. But I wish I would buy that wealthy-ass man a Bentley, okay? I have rules, and one of those rules is never splurge on someone who has more money than you, okay? No, you do that for your friends. Your friend's birthday, you're all chipping. Not if they're richer than me. No, you're all chipping to do something nice.
Starting point is 00:30:46 It doesn't matter how rich they are. Do something for Robert that will bring him joy that he can't do for himself. Take Robert to a nice Jamaican dinner in Brooklyn. Let him see how it feels to order off a menu at a Jamaican restaurant and they don't have nothing you asked for. That's what life is about. Set up a massage. See, he played too much.
Starting point is 00:31:02 But she's right, though. For real. Do something that he can't do for himself. He's you play too much. But she's right, though. For real. Do something that he can't. I don't think he wants any more massages. Do something that he can't do for himself. He's good on massages. All right. Now, R. Kelly's lawyers have requested to be taken off of his case ahead of his federal trial.
Starting point is 00:31:15 And that's the federal sex trafficking case in Brooklyn just two months before it's supposed to start. So the attorneys, Steven Greenberg and Michael Leonard, have filed documents to withdraw and they have not been approved yet. Apparently, they've been having disagreements with each other and with the other attorneys that are on the team that's defending R. Kelly. And they said we refuse to try a case with lawyers who don't have the appropriate level of experience and skill because that is not in the client's best interest. And the two attorneys said in a statement that was provided to TMZ, it's a shame that lawyers can't suppress their own egos or self-interest and do or act in the client's best interest. Sometimes people just won't listen and there is nothing you can do. This is getting a little messier.
Starting point is 00:31:57 All right, well, that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, front page news, what are we talking about? Well, you might not have to carry your ID anymore. So let's see if you guys are with this. All right. We'll get to it next. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Good morning. So sad. I'm so sad. That I don't have no friends that would buy me a Bentley. I wouldn't want a Bentley, though. Okay, sure. Don't say it again. I don't even want that.
Starting point is 00:32:25 No need to remind you. Well, for all your friends that were about to chip in and buy you a Bentley, he does not want it. I was just about to say ye. Just get him something nice and thoughtful. Maybe a t-shirt. Yeah, with some type of clever saying. Some Marvel character on it. All right, well, let's get into front page news.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Last night, NBA. The Nets beat the Bucs 125-86. Bucs in seven. Lie. And also, the Suns beat the Nuggets 122-105. Now, tonight. Suns in seven. Shut up, man.
Starting point is 00:32:59 The Hawks take on the 76ers. The Clippers take on the Jazz tonight. What else we got, Ye? Well, up here at iHeart, I can never tell if there is an outage that's major or if the Wi-Fi just doesn't work. And it looks like a lot of places were just affected by some major Internet outages. So I was looking at this story just now and I had to do it from my phone because we don't have Wi-Fi up here. But they said the Internet is down for a bunch of different sites. Social media, news sites, including CNN and The New York Times, have been hit by an outage.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Let's go. Yes. Right now they're saying some of the companies that have been affected are Reddit, Amazon, HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Web Services, Etsy, Twitter, Google, Target, Spotify, and others. And when they pop back up, it's going to be the extraterrestrials letting us know that they are here. Drop one of Clues bombs for my alien cousins that are on their way. On the wheel. Just as much for cyber security than regular security. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Now, Apple Wallet. There's a new update that will allow iPhones to be used as digital ID at airports. I like that. So you can scan your driver's license or your ID. It'll be stored in your phone after an encryption process. And then they're also working with TSA, so iPhones can be used as ID at security checkpoints as well. We don't do that now?
Starting point is 00:34:13 Well, Clear does that. If you have Clear, you don't have to have your license. The only problem is if you don't have your license with you, you could get randomly selected to show your ID. So at least it'll be on your phone. I like that idea because I hate carrying my wallet on my,
Starting point is 00:34:26 I put everything in my carry-on. There's nothing like clearing pre-check by the way. Lord have mercy. Thank God for clearing pre-check.
Starting point is 00:34:33 You got global entry, Sherlock? No, I got too many felonies. Oh, you can't.
Starting point is 00:34:37 It's really not easy to get global entry is true because even if you had, I know somebody who had like some type of like small ticket
Starting point is 00:34:43 or something and they couldn't get it. Really? All you have to do is write it up. Yeah. I ticket or something and they couldn't get it. Really? All you have to do is write a letter. Yeah. I just got renewed. I'm tired of you getting on this radio giving out illegal tips.
Starting point is 00:34:50 I know. Every day is an illegal tip. All you have to do is call up and tell them. All you have to do is lie. You have to steal someone else's identity. No, it's not illegal. You got to write a letter and say what happened during that time, what was the reason, and usually they'll let you clear.
Starting point is 00:35:03 And the letter is still in there. I just had to go for another meeting. They say, oh, we still have your case from 19 whatever it was. You had to have another meeting? Yeah, every five years I gotta go for another meeting. I just do mine online. Just renew it. Not me. I gotta go first. When you take your picture you wear your Beijing because you're like, you look
Starting point is 00:35:17 very suspicious when you got the black beard on. Well, once they hear that you were stealing wrestling pay-per-views, they're gonna actually flag you again. That's right. Now, Apple has also announced two new defining Well, once they hear that you were stealing wrestling pay-per-views, they're going to actually flag you again. That's right. No, that was over. Now, Apple has also announced two new defining features for FaceTime on iOS 15. I got the automatic update this morning. I was like, I never agreed to this.
Starting point is 00:35:37 But you have the ability to send FaceTime invite links. What is that? So, you know, just like Zoom, you'll send a link, like how we send a link to Zoom. So now you can send a FaceTime invite link. And then they also have a share play feature which will allow you to screen share, watch movies, and listen to music with friends. FaceTime invite link is very important because y'all are very intrusive when y'all just randomly FaceTime people. I just told somebody
Starting point is 00:35:56 that yesterday. I was like, yeah, I don't really FaceTime like that. No. Actually, you know what? I was interviewing Justine Sky yesterday and we were talking about that and she said her and her friends FaceTime all the time. I don't understand. And she only talks on FaceTime. But she's only 25 years old.
Starting point is 00:36:09 I think younger people tend to use FaceTime all the time. I don't like that. Don't FaceTime me. Call me. I don't want to be looking at you while I'm talking to you. You're also a conspiracy theorist, so you might feel like they're stealing your face suit. That's why I never used to get on Snapchat and do that. What's them things called? Forget it. Let's move on. That's why I never used to get on Snapchat and do that what's them things called?
Starting point is 00:36:26 Forget it. Let's move on. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has announced that he will fly into space next month. Okay! From space, it changes you. It changes your relationship with this planet, with humanity. It's one Earth.
Starting point is 00:36:42 I want to go on this flight because it's a thing I've want to go on this flight because it's a thing I've wanted to do all my life. It's an adventure. It's a big deal for me. I invited my brother to come on this first flight because we're closest friends.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Now that's a gift. That's how you stunt. Okay, Jeff Bezos is like, F your little petty Bentley Robert Kraft that Meek Mill and Jay-Z and Michael Rubin bought you. I'm going to space.
Starting point is 00:37:04 You're a hater. Where's that bidding at already? Because I know. It was at 2.8 million yesterday. I don't know where it's at now. But it was at 2.8. But if you are trying to get this auction, it's going to end on June 12th. So for all of our listeners, if you can bid like 3 million, you can probably get it. Jeff Bezos won.
Starting point is 00:37:19 As far as we know. Because that's some stunting there. That little beef they got between billionaires and trillionaires, that's it right there. I'm going to space. I'm just making this up. That's it right there. And I would do that for my friends,
Starting point is 00:37:32 because I know one of my friends that really, really wants to go to space and has been talking about this for damn near 20 years, and that's Little Duval. Little Duval has been literally talking about going to space for 20 years. That's what he wants. I would pay good money for Little Duval to go into space about going to space for 20 years. That's what he wants. I would pay good money for Little Duval to go into space. I think it would be amazing. He just wants to take a selfie in space with the Earth behind him.
Starting point is 00:37:51 All right, well, maybe you and your friends should chip in and get that for him. How much is it? $2.8 million right now. So far. You don't like him like that? I love him, but I need at least 45 friends. I need about 45 friends with at least a quarter million a piece. Maybe all his followers could chip in a dollar.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Yeah, true. Send Duval to space. His born day is next week. All right. July 12th? Nope. Nope, me neither. No, I got kids.
Starting point is 00:38:18 I got kids, too. I don't know what's out there. I don't know what's going to happen. Oh, it's already at 3.2 million. God damn, we need to act fast. Somebody set the GoFundMe up for little Duval. If you really know you want to win, you wait until June 12th to see where the bidding is at by then
Starting point is 00:38:32 and then you wait until the last minute. There's only one seat available. You get to be with Jeff Bezos and his brother. Man, set the GoFundMe up. Taylor, set the GoFundMe up for your play-play boyfriend, Duval. And let's raise some money for Duval to go to space for his born day. Born day on the 12th.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Jeff Bezos would be so annoyed. That'll be fun. Duvall and Jeff Bezos on a spaceship. Get me out of here. Come on, man. All right. Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:38:58 If you could go to space, would you? Would you hop in here with Jeff Bezos? Forget the money part. Forget the money part. Let's just say it was free. There's a seat available. Would you go to space? We need to know right now.
Starting point is 00:39:07 I ain't going to space. Not if I was older. If I was like 70-something, 80-something years. If I was 99. You would remember it. You'd probably have dementia. I was there. Just take the picture.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Put me on the ground. You stupid. 800-585-1051. Would you go to space? We ain't going to have no choice in a minute because the UFO's coming. All right? The lease is up on Earth. Why would we have to go to space? Because they're gonna take us. All of us? That's right. We've been ruining their planet
Starting point is 00:39:32 that we've been leasing. What do you do when your tenants mess up a building? Evict them. You can actually squat. You can be like, I've been living here already. We squat now. Don't even realize it. 800-585-1051. Would you go to space? Take the money out of it. If you got a chance to sit next to Jeff Bezos.
Starting point is 00:39:51 What would you just say? I would. If it was safe, I would definitely go. If it was like getting on a plane to fly somewhere, I would absolutely go to space. 100%. How could you not? But it's not. It's not safe. It's like going to Florida. How do you know it's not safe? How do you know it's not safe? It doesn't sound safe. Look at you up here just messing up Jeff Bezos' plan. I ain't messing with you.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Y'all don't even take the subway. Yeah, you're right. We don't even take the subway. Now you want to go to space? Are you comparing the subway to space? Subway's a lot more dangerous than space. I'll just throw that out there. But we'll talk about it when we come back.

Starting point is 00:45:33 He's going to outer space. He's bringing his brother with him and he has one seat available. They are bidding on that seat right now. The bid's at $3.2 million, but let's take the money out of it. And he's going July 20th, so you have until then to think about it. Man, Jeff Bezos stunting on these hoes. I got a party that day until then to think about it. And Jeff Bezos stunting on these hoes. I got a party that day, so I can't make it. You hear me? Jeff Bezos stunting on these other billionaires,
Starting point is 00:45:49 okay? That's a different level of stunt. What Meek Mill and Jay-Z and Michael Rubin did for Robert Kraft is cool with that Bentley, but man, going to space? To get a selfie in space? It's a different level. Would you go to outer space? All you want to do is take a selfie, huh? Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Tori. Hey, Tori, you going to outer space? It's a different level. Out of space. All you want to do is take a selfie, huh? Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:46:05 Hey, it's Tori. Hey, Tori, you going to outer space? Hell no, I'm not going to outer space. Thank you. My feet belong on the ground, okay? I'm not going either. It's crazy. All this unprotected sex y'all be having, but y'all scared to go to space. Oh, no. Yeah, I'm married. I can have all the unprotected sex.
Starting point is 00:46:21 I was talking about before you was married. Oh, s***. Hello, who's this? What's going on, man? This is Mo. Mo, you going to space, bro? No, absolutely not, man. You couldn't even pay me to go to space.
Starting point is 00:46:36 That's a lie. I give you $5 million right now. You going to space? They can pay y'all to take a vaccine, but can't pay y'all to go to space? You a goddamn liar. Nah, man. I ain't lying. Honestly, man, I ain't going to Honestly, man, I ain't gonna lie.
Starting point is 00:46:45 I'm scared. I like going to space and getting lost in space. Gotta be the worst way to go, man. Like, that's gotta be the worst way to go. No, it wouldn't. They'd make a movie about you in the future. You would be the... I'd be here to see it.
Starting point is 00:46:58 I'd be here to see it. Who else in the hood got lost in space, bruh? With Jeff Bezos. With Jeff Bezos? I wouldn't take whatever Jeff Bezos' wife got for that divorce. I wouldn't take that to go to space. Now, I will say this. To your point, it would be whack to go to space and get lost with Jeff Bezos
Starting point is 00:47:15 because nobody's going to remember you. It's just going to be all about Jeff Bezos and whoever else was on the ship. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That would suck. It's an experience. I'm just good.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Can you imagine you take a selfie from space with Jeff Bezos and you don't get a lot of likes? You'd be so mad. By the way, who else is on the plane? I mean, on the rocket. Jeff Bezos' brother and one other person. It only fits three. Oh, it's three people? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Oh, Jeff ain't coming. Let me ask a stupid question. Is there a pilot? Or do they just shoot a rocket ship? Yeah, I think it's like computerized. Oh, now I ain't doing that. You just hop back in and it just shoot you back. You don't get out Do you like get out? I don't think you get out. No, you got to get out for the selfie
Starting point is 00:47:49 Hey brown, don't sound like Jeff Bezos playing his grand finale like this Hello this Victoria you go into space Why are you so scared of space? Because I feel like we don't we shouldn't mess with another atmosphere. We don't want the aliens to come down here and mess with Earth. I think that's a bad idea. Okay, now that is true.
Starting point is 00:48:12 She has a point, right? We don't know if they want us there. How are we going to just show up unannounced? I think that Earthlings are the most primitive beings in the whole entire solar system in all these galaxies. And I think all of these extraterrestrials have more advanced technology than us. And we're just catching up. That's why we're able to go in space now.
Starting point is 00:48:29 That's what I think. Nah, I'm good on space right now. Some people don't even want undocumented migrants coming here. But we're going to just show up in space? That is true. We might be crossing borders that we're not supposed to cross. That is true. What's the moral of the story, guys?
Starting point is 00:48:42 The moral of the story is all you people who be on Xanax, Perks, Crack, Heroin, y'all already beaming up somewhere, so you might as well go to space. What's the problem? I would go. You'd go? Let's let it go for me. I would go. If it was safe, I would go. Oh, now you play. How could you not? Space? You wouldn't want to see space? Alright, and Bucks and Seven, right? We get to see what the Earth is
Starting point is 00:49:00 flat? Yes, Bucks and Seven, because Kyrie Irving believes in a flat Earth. Okay? Bucks and Seven. But wouldn't you want to see the Earth and really be able to tell all these flat Earths, the Earth ain't flat? Not right now. Let me see. Let a couple more people go up there and try it out first. Yeah, I don't want to be first. Yeah, I don't want to be first.
Starting point is 00:49:16 But I would go if it was safe. I don't think you would be first. When I'm 80, we out. We're going to space. Alright, well, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and Tory Lanez is talking about artists turning on him after what happened with Megan Thee Stallion. He was on the Million Dollars Worth a Game podcast, so you have to hear what he had to say.
Starting point is 00:49:32 All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Whoa, whoa. Good morning. I really want to know what scares y'all so much about space. Like, why the thought of space?
Starting point is 00:49:43 Because of the unknown? Yeah. Okay. That makes sense. Most people are scared of the? Like, why the thought of space? Because of the unknown? Yeah. Okay, that makes sense. Most people are scared of the unknown. I'm not scared of space. I'm scared of getting to space. The rocket ship's up there. So you're okay once you get there?
Starting point is 00:49:54 Yeah, I mean, just like anything else, in my opinion. How do you know space is like anything else? I don't know, but like when you travel to all these other countries and all these other places, you don't know where you're going. You don't know what to expect. You just go and you try to... Exactly. But a lot of these people that we know that live there
Starting point is 00:50:07 and have experienced it and traveled there. Treat it like a roller coaster. You know what I mean? It's just a long roller coaster ride. Personally, that's been to space. That could be like, girl, it was so much fun. Let me tell you where to eat. Well, Jeff Bezos about to let us know.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Either that or Jeff Bezos is plotting his grand finale. Didn't he just step down from Amazon? He did. I don't know, man. Jeff might have it all planned out. He got a whole lot of money. I don't know if it's time to go. But I don't think he would do that if he's looking to bring any random.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Because it's a random that can take the extra seat, right? But somebody with money, clearly. 11 minutes to get there. That's fast. That's rocket ship. I'm scared about that. By the way, we're talking about trillionaires, right? Clearly, he might know something that we don't know nothing about. That's fast. That's rocket ship. I'm scared about that. By the way, we're talking about trillionaires, right? Clearly, he might know something that we don't know nothing about.
Starting point is 00:50:49 That is true. You know what I mean? You might get out there and it's an Applebee's. It's no Applebee's. I'm just saying. You don't know. You might get to space and there might be a whole setup. And you'll be like, oh, shoot.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Maybe. Chick-fil-A? Maybe. Well, you only have about three minutes to walk around. Wait, wait, wait. Once you get there. You get to get out? Yeah. You get out? For three minutes. How? And Once you get there. You get to get out? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:05 You get out? For three minutes. How? And then you got to get back and come right back? Yeah. Where and what? I guess a space suit, I would assume. I wonder if you got to pay extra for the space suit.
Starting point is 00:51:16 No, I'm sorry. I'm sure it's included in the price. Yeah, I'm sure it's included. See, that's another thing. You get to unbuckle. What gear do you wear when you're up there? Because you got to have a dope fit. Oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:51:24 Actually, maybe you don't get out. You just get to unbuckle yourself and float do you wear when you're up there? Oh, you know what? Actually, maybe you don't get out. You just get to unbuckle yourself and float for three minutes. Oh, that's hard. I would assume you float in the capsule. I'm sure you don't get out. That's hard. Yeah, I'm saying, how could you get out in space? And then, I've seen too many movies.
Starting point is 00:51:35 You said get out and walk around for three minutes. Where would you walk around, Steve? I'm sitting there thinking, yeah, that's right. But where the hell would you walk around in space? I've seen too many movies where the cord snaps and then the person floats off. Hey, man. You out here. Then Captain Marvel will come save you.
Starting point is 00:51:50 You know what I'm saying? Bring you back to Earth. All right, lands and then now you can't get back. I wonder what aliens look like. Do they look like Alf? You are an alien. You're an alien. What was that movie where they were stuck in space for all that time?
Starting point is 00:52:03 Y'all so arrogant. You know what movie I'm talking about? Which one? You sound so stupid. No, but I'm saying, y'all, it's arrogant. I think I want an Oscar. You say, I wonder what aliens look like. We are aliens to somebody.
Starting point is 00:52:12 The people on other planets, we're aliens. So what do you call them? What do you mean? I know what we call them, but that don't mean that they call themselves that. Yeah, what if that's offensive to them? That's exactly. We call them aliens.
Starting point is 00:52:23 We call them extraterrestrials. Now I'm canceled. We call them alf We call them extraterrestrials. Now I'm canceled because I call an alien an alien. We don't know what they call themselves, but they're going to let us find out soon enough. The wheel is coming, baby.
Starting point is 00:52:32 All right. Well, we got rumors on the way in. Yes, and let's talk about a new job for Snoop Dogg. All right. We'll get to it next.
Starting point is 00:52:39 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On the Breakfast Club. Tiana Taylor is the sexiest woman alive,
Starting point is 00:52:55 according to Maxim on their annual Hot 100 list. She posted, Somebody pinch me. Wow. Stepping back in front of the lens has been a journey of self-reflection and self-confidence. Living up to name and title of this shoot wholeheartedly made me nervous as an entrepreneur, wife, a busy mother of two, and working behind
Starting point is 00:53:12 the lens in my director bag, I tend to hide behind my sweats and vintage tees, my spiked tea glasses, and whatever hairstyle I've mustered it up that day. So I, as you can see, I don't have much time to be and feel sexy. I'm dropping the clues bonds for Tiana Taylor. That's why I be telling Tyana don't even trip off the music, because she's a superstar.
Starting point is 00:53:28 You know what I mean? You can't teach what Teyana Taylor has. That is true. You know what I mean? She's a superstar just by being her. Is she the first black woman to get this title? I read that yesterday. Yeah, I saw that somewhere, too, that she's the first black woman.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Listen, Teyana Taylor be killing it no matter what, all the time. And she just be looking amazing. Alright, Mariah Carey is responding to reports about that fight that she allegedly got into with Jay-Z that led to her leaving Roc Nation. Now, an unnamed source had told the British
Starting point is 00:53:59 tabloid The Sun last week that she had sensationally quit the label management company, which she signed with back in 2017 over a, quote, blazing row, that's how you know it's a British tabloid, with Jay-Z. They clashed over the direction of her career, but on Monday, Mariah Carey
Starting point is 00:54:16 brushed this all off and said, you know, she had to shake it off. She said, the only explosive situation I'd ever get into with Hov is a creative tangent such as our number one song, Heartbreaker. To the people who make up these lies, I say, poof. Vamoose, son of a bitch. Where did that even come from?
Starting point is 00:54:32 Yeah, where did the story come from then? The son. I'm sure it was only a bunch of people in the room. Jay-Z wouldn't put that he got into a rift with Mariah. She left upset. So who put that into the story? When I heard it, I was like, okay, that must have been Mariah's team that leaked it. But if Mariah's saying that, no, it wasn't her.
Starting point is 00:54:49 So where did it come from? You know, but she did reportedly leave Roc Nation. And she left with her Roc Nation manager, her former Roc Nation manager, Melissa Ruderman, to Range Media Partners. And that's who currently manages her. So maybe it was the person that, you know, was representing her left, so she left too. They asked Jay for a comment and he just replied, me and Mariah go back like babies in pacifiers and he kept it moving.
Starting point is 00:55:13 All right, now Tory Lanez was on Million Dollars Worth a Game podcast and he was having a conversation about people kind of turning their back on him following the situation with Megan Thee Stallion and other artists. And here's what he had to say about what people were concerned about. I understand people have brands.
Starting point is 00:55:29 And before I look at Tory Lanez like it's me, Tory Lanez is a brand. Whatever artist is their brand. At the moment, it wasn't the look for them to put their brand on it unless you were somebody that stood so far into your brand that your brand was just so you that on so far into your brand that your brand was just so you that on your personal life still reflected on your brand when it started there was very few people that would like that on the outside but on the inside it was love that was
Starting point is 00:55:55 you know the weird thing about it for me yeah he said people were supporting him privately the people who came out and said anything about me a lot of them after the fact or after the music came out or whatever still called me still hit me like yo you know i still with you or just at the time xyz but there's nothing wrong with that there's something wrong with that because you can't jump to a conclusion there's something wrong with that in our world and sometimes people have a a wrong idea of how that's separated But I understand that those worlds are separated. Not everybody was raised like me. I'm going to call you on the phone and say,
Starting point is 00:56:29 what happened? However, I got to move how I got to move, and you got to move how you got to move. I mean, it's understandable, right? If you think that he shot Megan Thee Stallion, of course you're going to turn your back on him. Because that would be, but we don't know what happened. Nobody was there with them. I mean, you wouldn't that would be, but we don't know what happened. Nobody was there with them.
Starting point is 00:56:47 I mean, you wouldn't agree with it. We still don't know what happened. But it's like when you got, you know, friends in the hood, that's your friends, you know what I mean? They might do something. These are industry friends, though. I mean, I'm just saying in general, but they're still your friend. Like, you don't stop not being their friend.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Like, you may not agree with what they did, but it's just like, it's a very complicated situation when you're actually somebody's friend. It, you may not agree with what they did, but it's just like, it's a very complicated situation when you're actually somebody's friend. It depends on who it is. A lot of people didn't want to stand next to him because of the situation,
Starting point is 00:57:10 but he wasn't found guilty. We don't know what happened and you can't make a judgment based on the media. Well, they haven't done, have they done the trial yet or anything? Nope, not at all.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Yeah, so we don't know yet. Nope, not at all. I'm just speaking, I'm speaking from the perspective of like, you know, we've all had people in the hood who've done things. And you're like, damn, that was messed up.
Starting point is 00:57:27 But that's still your guy. You know what I mean? They might even be in prison. I think it depends on what it is. It depends on what they did. It depends on what it is for sure. And it depends on how they handle the situation after. That is very true.
Starting point is 00:57:37 All right. Now, Owen Wilson is saying the Wedding Crashers sequel could happen. I do love that movie, Wedding Crashers. That movie came back in 2005. And there were some reports that they're all on board to make a sequel. And it's going to be for HBO Max. They're going to start production this summer. But Owen Wilson is saying that progress on a sequel is still very much in the early planning stages.
Starting point is 00:57:58 He said some people are saying, you know, it's something that they've been working on. And he's been talking with Vince Vaughn about it. But that's as far as it's gone. So if you're a big fan of that movie, we don't know if it's really going to happen. Could be cute, though. That was an enjoyable movie. Have you ever crashed a wedding? Crashed a wedding?
Starting point is 00:58:16 Yeah, I did one time. No. Why would I crash somebody's wedding? Somebody was getting married in the hotel I was in. We just walked in. That's just disrespectful. was getting married in the hotel I was in. We just walked in. That's just disrespectful. They invited us in. That's just disrespectful.
Starting point is 00:58:28 We walked in first and then they were like, yeah, come on, stay. That's just disrespectful. So you had on jeans and everybody was dressed in tuxedos. I look cute. I had on a little summer dress. They asked you to stay? Once I was inside, they were fine with it. They knew who you were?
Starting point is 00:58:40 No, this is way earlier on. Oh, you looked hungry. Yeah, I probably did. They thought that's what it was. Come eat, come eat. Come little girl, come eat, come eat way earlier on. Oh, you looked hungry. Yeah, I probably did. That's what it was. Come eat, come eat. Come little girl, come eat, come eat, come eat. That movie did make me feel like I want to crash a wedding. Why?
Starting point is 00:58:52 I don't know. Why would you want to do that? Plates are expensive. I would have definitely kicked your ass out. I mean, by that time, stuff is already accounted for. Crashing a wedding is OD disrespectful, though, because that's such an intimate experience. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:59:04 And you even got a head count of people That are supposed to be there It's gotta be a big wedding Unless Unless what Unless like I know Kendrick Lamar Remember he crashed a wedding And he performed
Starting point is 00:59:12 That's dope If you're gonna perform You're gonna do something Then that's cool I don't remember him doing that He did that Yeah Kendrick Lamar He was in a hotel
Starting point is 00:59:19 And he crashed a wedding one time Okay He performed I think he performed I think he did a song Oh that's different Google it That's Kendrick Lamar.
Starting point is 00:59:25 All right, now Snoop Dogg. Kicking her out. Exactly. If anybody tried to DJ, I'm kicking him out. I don't blame you either. I think both of y'all make valid points. I don't blame you. I don't blame you.
Starting point is 00:59:35 All right, Snoop Dogg is a Def Jam executive, so congratulations to him. What's his title? That's pretty amazing. So here's what he had to say. This is what he posted. As a kid, as a young rapper, Def Jam Records was the holy grail of hip hop. They did all types of shit that I wanted to be a part of.
Starting point is 00:59:55 And then Def Roll Records happened. So I didn't get a chance to be on Def Jam. But I always had a dream to be on Def Jam. So when I got the opportunity, my main focus on Def Jam Records was to go and to help the artists and give them love and give them wisdom, guidance and understanding and teach them some tricks that I learned in the game. To not just be rappers and not just be artists, but to be superstars. So he is focusing on A&R and creative development.
Starting point is 01:00:24 His official title is he is the new executive, creative, and strategic consultant. So he'll be working strategically across the label's executive team and artist roster. I mean, that makes sense to me. Snoop has been around a long time. He's a superstar. The only thing I would say is that, once again, you can't teach what Snoop Dogg has. You know what I mean? So Snoop.
Starting point is 01:00:41 He could be a good mentor to a lot of those artists. He could definitely be a great mentor, but you just can't teach what he has. Some people are just natural superstars. Snoop is one of them. And I know he'll cook for you, too, as we learn. Yeah, Def Jam just needs some artists now. Who's he going to A&R? All right, well, that is.
Starting point is 01:00:56 That's what he's there for. Your rumor report. All right. I'm sure he's there to bring in new talent. Yeah. I'm going to attract some talent, too. All right. Charlamagne, who are I'm going to track some talent, too. All right. Gentlemen, who are you giving that down to?
Starting point is 01:01:07 You know, Florida, I really don't wake up in the morning and say, you know what, I got to give Donkey of the Day to somebody from Florida. But there's always a Florida story that makes me say, what the Florida? This one is different. Let me ask you a question. No. I said no. Respect my boundaries. Little Duval, right? And they put the cap at a question. No. I said no. Respect my boundaries.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Little Duval, right? And they put the cap at $50,000. That makes no sense. That makes no sense. Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. That doesn't make any sense. Now, you know the bid is at $2.8. It's at $3.2.

There is just simply nothing like Florida. How can a place so beautiful be filled with so many consciously crazy people? I say consciously crazy because folks in Florida know what they doing. See, when you live in a place like Florida, okay, you know, when you live there in the midst of
Starting point is 01:06:40 all that crazy, it looks normal to you. for the bar for crazy in florida is high they just don't know it's a bar so they are just consciously doing what comes you know natural to floridians which is be crazy and john henry james's third is no exception we've all been in fights before altercations and you know we all know people we all know people you might even be one of them that are willing to use anything as a weapon. Okay, I mean, let's be real. Most black adults from a certain era are like that. If you're 40 plus like me, then the village that raised you definitely had an assortment of weapons they used to whip your ass. Okay, for me, it was extension cords and switches that I had to pick myself and the wooden spoon and fork decorations on the kitchen wall, house shoes, whatever was in arm's
Starting point is 01:07:24 reach. When it was time for that beating, you was getting it. R.I.P. to Black Rob. Drop on the kitchen wall house shoes whatever was in arm's reach when it was time for that beating you was getting it r.i.p to black rob drop on the clues bombs for black rob he spit one of the hardest bars okay i've ever heard when he said it's all about the benjamin's true that be the motto ran out of ammo and started throwing bottles that's a resourceful human right there that's the man just trying to survive and he was being resourceful. He thought he was defending himself but the people he was defending himself against were the police. Not really defending himself though, he was running high speed chase for about 40 minutes.
Starting point is 01:08:01 Thank god he didn't have ammo. But when you hear what his weapon of choice was against the police, you might kind of wish he was at least throwing bottles. Let's go to WFOR CBS 4 Miami for the report, please. A despicable act this is. Video from the Indian River Sheriff's Office up in Central Florida on the East Coast shows a man on the run from police, but this is no ordinary chase here. Deputies say they tried
Starting point is 01:08:25 to pull the man over for a traffic stop and he took off after a 40-minute chase he pulled into the parking lot of an apartment complex it turned out he had a two-month-old baby in that car the suspect got out of the car and then threw the baby at the deputy amazingly the deputy caught that baby deputies tackled the suspect and say he violently resisted. He's now facing several charges, including two for child abuse. Ran out of ammo and started throwing toddlers. John Henry James III is the first man to throw the baby out with no bathwater. Do you know there's a term called pitch the baby?
Starting point is 01:08:58 It is English slang in card playing to encourage a bluffer by placing worthless bets are pitching the baby card that has nothing to do with anything i'm discussing right now i just felt like it was a snap effect i should share i got so many questions uh number one why did he have the baby to begin with this baby was two months old whoever procreated with this man should have known he's not the one to leave with a two-month-old baby not only did he go on a wild speed chase with the baby, which shows he doesn't really care about this child's well-being, he proved he didn't care about this child's well-being when he decided to do a play-action pop pass with his own seed. Did you even check to see if the cop was an eligible receiver?
Starting point is 01:09:37 See, either this brother snapped or he has a history of some type of behavior that led to this, okay? Throwing a baby as a weapon is very intentional there is a lot of things to consider before you weaponize an infant okay i'm sitting here thinking to myself has he watched incredibles one too many times did he expect his baby to burst into flames when the cop caught him like jack jack why am i trying to make sense of any of this? Okay, it's Florida. We don't know why things happen the way they do in Florida. They just do because it's Florida.
Starting point is 01:10:12 Please give John Henry James III the biggest hee-haw. Matter of fact, let Remy Ma give him the biggest hee-haw. Just when I think Florida can't make me think they're any crazier. Nope, don't want to play a game today. Mm-mm. Nope. I don't want to play. Nope, me neither.
Starting point is 01:10:35 Me neither. I'm embarrassed for whatever race he is. Whatever race he is, I'm just embarrassed. I'm embarrassed for the whole human race when it comes to Florida. Jesus Christ. All right, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Now, we were talking about Tory Lanez in his interview with Nori, right? Can we play? No, that wasn't Nori. That's a million dollars worth of game. A million dollars worth of game. Gillian Wallow. Gillian Wallow. Yeah, let's play a clip of it.
Starting point is 01:10:58 I understand people have brands. And before I look at Tory Lanez like it's me, Tory Lanez is a brand. Whatever artist is their brand, at the moment, it wasn't the look for them to put their brand on it, unless you were somebody that stood so far into your brand that your brand was just so you
Starting point is 01:11:16 that on your personal life, still reflected on your brand. When it started, there was very few people that would like that on the outside, but on the inside, it was love. That was, you know, the weird thing about it for me. All right. So let's open up the phone lines.
Starting point is 01:11:30 800-585-1051. Do you stand next to your friends no matter what? Right? Well, Tori is clearly talking about industry friends. They're not standing next to nothing. That's radioactive. Even with Tori, a lot people um stopped playing his music a lot of radio stations pulled his music so are we talking about industry or real life here real life okay real life all right real life do you stand next to your friends no matter what let's have the conversation good conversation
Starting point is 01:12:00 800-585-1051 let's talk about it we'll talk about it more when we come back it's The Breakfast Club, come on The Breakfast Club it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club let's talk about it morning everybody it's DJ
Starting point is 01:12:24 Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy, we are 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 joined us, we're talking about Tory Lanez. He did an interview with Gillian Wallow, and this is what he said. Even the people who came out and said anything about me, a lot of them, after the fact or after the music came out or whatever, still called me, still hit me like,
Starting point is 01:12:43 yo, you know, I still f*** with you or just at the time, just at the time xyz but there's nothing wrong with that there's something wrong with that because you can't jump to a conclusion there's something wrong with that in our world and sometimes people have a wrong idea of how that's separated but i understand that those worlds are separated not everybody was raised like me i'm gonna call you on the phone and say what happened? However, I got to move how I got to move and you got to move how you got to move. So we're asking 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:13:12 Do you stand by your friends regardless of anything? That is the question. I don't know about regardless of anything. Because if I have a friend who domestic violence, rape, any of those things, that's not my friend anymore.
Starting point is 01:13:27 Because now I'm going to look at you like you're not the person who I thought you were. I mean, interesting conversation. Because when you grow up in a certain environment, you have some friends who have done some nut-ass stuff. You know, I have friends and family in jail for violent crimes, shootings, murders, robberies. Some of them maintain their innocence.
Starting point is 01:13:43 You know, some accept what they did wrong and are doing their time, but that doesn't stop them from being my family or my friend. You know, if you have an emotional connection with a person, you just do. So you may not agree with them, may hate what they did, but doesn't mean you hate them. And I also think when you get in a situation like that, you realize in life there are no villains, there are no heroes. People are just human beings.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Like think of all the parents in that situation. You know what I'm saying? Who have kids who have committed you know these heinous crimes like those kids don't stop being their kids so i don't know it's a complicated situation you can't choose who your kids are but you can choose who your friends are yeah it depends i'm not holier than thou but there's certain there's certain things i ain't effing with like um pedophileophile. I'm not messing with pedophiles. I don't care if you... We're not friends. I agree. 100%.
Starting point is 01:14:27 I mean, even family members. If I got a family member that's a pedophile, I ain't effing with you. But I think you wouldn't eff with that person, but you would still feel a different way.
Starting point is 01:14:35 You'd be like, damn, him? Her? Nah, I still wouldn't. I wouldn't mess with a rapist. I wouldn't mess with a pedophile. I wouldn't... Like, I don't care
Starting point is 01:14:43 if you're a family member. I'm not effing with you. You can't come out of my house. I don't even want to speak to you over the phone. Man, if you broke into somebody's house and executed them and tied them, I would be like, nope, not messing with them. If you ran up in somebody's crib and killed somebody, I wouldn't mess with you either. I just
Starting point is 01:14:58 wouldn't. You don't have no friends from the hood that have ran up in somebody's house and killed somebody? It's a beef. They going back and forth with somebody, but I'm just talking about- That don't make it right. It don't make it right. But if y'all going back and forth and y'all have a beef and y'all in a gang
Starting point is 01:15:11 and I understand that's your street business. But if you just run up in a random person's house- What's the difference though? And if you have a serial pattern of doing something, I think that's different than if there's a one-time situation that you're saying, well, it didn't happen like that. And you really feel like you know this person.
Starting point is 01:15:26 But if this person has a pattern of behavior, and you're like, damn, I really didn't know this was going on. You know, but the reason I say this is complicated, because all of us are from a certain environment. Yes, the cases that we're talking about, pedophilia, rape, all that stuff, I agree. But, yo, we're not going to sit here and act like we don't know shooters. And by the way, we grew up at a certain age where you was happy to have some of those shooters around you. And they had a serial pattern of doing it. And you partied with them. Sometimes I got to calm them down.
Starting point is 01:15:50 But that's because of there's certain situations. Like, if you try to hurt me and inflict harm on me, they're going to ride on you. There's certain instances where, yes. But if you're just a regular person and you're knocking people over the head and robbing them and shooting them and killing them, I can't. Yo, growing up, we all knew people like that. And we knew that we knew people like that in hip hop. You knew rappers who had certain crews and you knew how that crew got down. You knew that crew was robbing people.
Starting point is 01:16:16 But that was beef and that was their war. No, it wasn't. That wasn't random people. That was regular industry stuff. I'm taking this dude's chain because I can. I don't know. And I know a lot of criminals. I don't know no criminals that's going to run up in a random person's house and kill him.
Starting point is 01:16:28 But they might run up on a random person in the street at an awards show and take their chain. But kill him? What's the difference? It's different than somebody dying. I think it's a case-by-case situation. I agree. We're the culture that definitely salutes the shooter. Remember, we definitely respect the shooter in our culture.
Starting point is 01:16:47 Correct. So it's a little hypocrite. I think you don't really know the situation until you're in it, but it's not as cut and dry as people making it out to be. Hello, who's this? My bad. I was eating. Key.
Starting point is 01:17:00 Hey, Key. Hey, all right. So for that situation, I'll say in public, I'll have my friend back no matter what. Hey, Key. In public. But in private, are you going to check? So you're saying in private? No, you're saying in private, he'll let him know he's wrong. In public, you have his back, he says.
Starting point is 01:17:26 It depends what it is, though. I agree. My friend was clearly in a wrong, and I had his back. As soon as your high school was going on, I said, yo, mother effer, you know you're wrong for that, right? It depends what it is, though. I agree. It depends what it is, but thank you. Hello, who's this? Good morning. It's Mitra. How y'all doing?
Starting point is 01:17:36 Good morning, Mama. We're talking about do you stand by your friends no matter what? Absolutely not. I have been disappointed so many times, my friend. So I have to see the whole situation and what has gone on. I think that's the key, Mitra. Like, you know, you don't have to have an opinion until you get all the facts of the situation.
Starting point is 01:17:55 And that's the truth. And I think that's the problem with our society. Like, we just all rush to pick a side, and we don't even know the whole facts of a situation. Right, and that's the same thing with Tori. You know what I mean? Everybody picked a side, and we don't even know the whole facts of the situation. Right, and that's the same thing with Tory. You know what I mean? Everybody picked a side, and we don't know the facts. We weren't in that car.
Starting point is 01:18:09 We weren't in that vehicle. We don't know what happened. He wasn't found guilty. And a lot of people banned his record, pulled his record from our radio, stopped booking him, and we don't know what happened. You know what I mean? I can't pick a side because I don't know. I wasn't there.
Starting point is 01:18:21 800-585-1051. Do you stand by your friend regardless of what happened? Regardless of what he or she did? Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it now. I know it now.
Starting point is 01:18:32 I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. That kid on here, he was bad. Call me. And your opinions to The Breakfast Club topic. Come on. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about standing by your friend regardless. All right. Now, this comes from Tory Lane. He was doing an interview with Gilly and Wilder. Let's listen.
Starting point is 01:19:00 Even the people who came out and said anything about me, a lot of them after the fact or after the music came out or whatever still called me, a lot of them after the fact or after the music came out or whatever still called me, still hit me like, yo, you know, I still f*** with you or just at the time, X, Y, Z. But there's nothing wrong with that. There is something wrong with that. Because you can't jump to a conclusion. There's something wrong with that in our world.
Starting point is 01:19:17 And sometimes people have a wrong idea of how that's separated. But I understand that those worlds are separated. Not everybody was raised like me. I'm going to call you on the phone and say, what happened? However, I got to move how I got to move, and you got to move how you got to move. So we're asking 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:19:36 Do you stand by your friend regardless? Now, you didn't answer, Charlamagne, do you? What you mean I didn't answer? I'm the only person here who did answer. I did answer. I said, no, I don't, not regardless. I said I think it's complicated because when you grow up in a certain environment, you have some friends who've done some nut ass stuff.
Starting point is 01:19:51 We all got friends and family who've done violent crimes, shootings, murders, robberies. Some of them are in prison. Some of them still in the streets. Some of them maintain their innocence when they're in jail. Some accept what they did wrong and they're doing their time. But that don't stop them from being, you know,
Starting point is 01:20:07 your family or your friend. I definitely have stopped talking to people because of things that they've done that I was friends with. Listen, I've also seen people in this industry
Starting point is 01:20:15 be kicking it with folks and be saying, yo, you know, that dude, they're crazy. He'll beat you up or he rob such and such. You know, he'll shoot you, yada, yada, yada.
Starting point is 01:20:23 But that's different than being friends with and like publicly saying, this is who I ride for and people you go on vacation. But I've seen you do that, though. I mean, I've seen people do that. You can casually say hi to somebody if you see them out. That's way different than saying that's your friend. In our culture of hip hop, I've seen way more than casual.
Starting point is 01:20:39 And I think it depends on what it is. Like I had two friends that dated each other and the guy beat her ass. I'm not friends with him no more. I understand that. But I think a lot of times the thing that we've normalized the most is the fact that we do have people around us
Starting point is 01:20:53 who have committed violent crimes. And there was a time in our culture where you actually saluted that. You was happy to have a bunch of shooters around you. Well, not only that, because a lot of times
Starting point is 01:21:00 you needed it. You know what I mean? Think about it. So it was all good when that shooter is shooting for you. But then when they go do something, how can you say they went too far? When a shooter shoots, that's what they do. Right.
Starting point is 01:21:13 But a shooter usually shoots at ops, oppositions. No, that's your ops. Enemies, the threats. But that op might not be. But I only have an op if they're threatening me. That's you. I don't have these problems so
Starting point is 01:21:25 I just think that when you get in situations like this you realize there's no villains and there's no heroes people are just human beings no there is
Starting point is 01:21:32 but there's certain people I'm just not standing next to that's just me and maybe that's the reason why I don't have that many friends and I'm cool with it I think we all got shaky morals sometimes
Starting point is 01:21:41 that's why I can't stand on no moral high ground when it comes to any of this I just can't oh I can there's certain people I high ground when it comes to any of this. I just can't. Oh, I can. There's certain people I'm just not standing next to. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? It's G. G, what's up, brother? I'm good.
Starting point is 01:21:54 Shout out to the Western Club. What's up, man? What's up, King? How are you? What's up, G? We're talking about standing next to people regardless. What's your thoughts, bro? Well, you know, it depends how long we know each other and what's the energy like. Because if I know you're a troublemaker, I'm not in the spot with you. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:22:11 Right. And sometimes relationships change. There's people that you used to kick it with and then you're like, you know what? I can't do that no more. Yeah, you grow up. Exactly. So, you know, I mean, it just depends. If we go back like full flat, then I got you.
Starting point is 01:22:25 You know what I'm saying? But if I know you to be a troublemaker, I might not just be in the spot with you. You know, I mean, it just depends. If we go back, like, full flat, then I got you. You know what I'm saying? But if I know you to be a troublemaker, I might not just be in the spot with you. You know what I mean? Okay. I'm with that. I'm not trying to be part of your beef. They go out and start fights all the time,
Starting point is 01:22:35 and now you in the middle of it because we together. Who's this? Hello, this is Six. Hey, what's up, bro? We're talking about standing next to people, your friends and stuff. What are your thoughts? I mean, honestly, I mean, it all depends on the situation,
Starting point is 01:22:47 how long you've known the person in reality. Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? Because you can know somebody for a long time, and, you know, they can do something, and you want their back so much. But if they don't show that loyalty in the beginning, it makes no sense to do all that.
Starting point is 01:23:05 Yeah, I get what you're saying. My whole thought is, though, I mean, there's certain crimes I just don't respect. Certain things I just can't respect. You shouldn't respect any of them. Shootings aren't cool. Murders aren't cool. Robberies aren't cool. It depends, man.
Starting point is 01:23:18 I didn't see people shoot. It does. Because if it was you, you wouldn't want to get robbed. You wouldn't want to get shot. You wouldn't want to get murdered. So you shouldn't co-sign no crime that you wouldn't want to happen to you or your family. But for instance, if you try to rob me and I'm with somebody, I want them to shoot you. Deadline.
Starting point is 01:23:32 If you try to rob me at gunpoint, I want whoever I'm with to shoot you if I'm not going to shoot you with my licensed gun. I agree with that. So that's a different thing. I can stand on that. But I can't stand some of the certain crimes. I just can't stand it. But that's not necessarily a crime if it's self-defense. That's self-defense.
Starting point is 01:23:47 All I'm simply saying is in our community, we know damn well we've embraced the shooter. And we've bragged about having the shooters with us. I've heard it. I've heard it out of everybody's mouth, whether it was the guy who's hood or the person who's a square in our culture. So we got to stop acting like we standing on some type of moral high ground. I'm not standing on a moral high ground, but there's certain crimes, no matter what they do,
Starting point is 01:24:10 I'm just not standing next to. And I just, I just, I think if you're, if you're a pedophile, if you, my dad and you're a pedophile, I agree with that.
Starting point is 01:24:18 A hundred percent. My nephew, my brother, my, my don't matter. I'm not messing with you. If you're a rapist, I don't care what you do when you did it.
Starting point is 01:24:24 I'm just not. I agree with that. A hundred percent not i agree with that a hundred percent i agree with that a hundred percent you know but i do think that when it comes to other things it's complicated i agree all right well that's all i'm saying we can agree on that that we can't you know on certain crimes it's complicated then it's certain it's just you know flat out like if you jaywalking i'm not messing with you yeah you didn't you still you still don. You still barely leave the stoop. What are you talking about? Sorry, I'm just not really hanging out with shooters like you. You're a liar.
Starting point is 01:24:52 Angelina's a liar. But I'm not going to say nothing. I'm going to mind my business. What are you talking about? What do you know that I don't know? All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes, and let's talk about Quavo, who says that he has trash-ass bars. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 01:25:09 All right, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on in. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report.
Starting point is 01:25:21 This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, a couple of days ago, Kendrick Perkins was sharing some criticism about Quavo. And he posted, I see Quavo. And he added Quavo. Still dropping them trash-ass bars. Carry on. Kendrick Perkins, former NBA player.
Starting point is 01:25:41 NBA player, right. For people that don't know. Now analyst. Great analyst, too, by the way. Hilarious. Hilarious, smart. I like watching Kendrick Perkins. He is.
Starting point is 01:25:48 Now, one of the Twitter followers said, you still mad because he dissed you on his solo album two years ago, Get No Playing Time, Kendrick Perkins? And that was from the song F12. Every time your bitch phone when she's working. Get No Playing Time, Kendrick Perkins. This is why context matters, though, Every time your bitch phone rings, she's working. Get no plan time. Kendrick Perkins. This is why context matters, though, because if you didn't know the backstory,
Starting point is 01:26:10 you thought Kendrick Perkins was just dry hating. But there's a legit backstory and reason why Kendrick tweeted that. Right. So Quavo hasn't said anything, but Jose Guapo did come to his defense. And he said, hey, we respect you for who you are as a man, Mr. Kendrick Perkins. But that's speaking on my brother Quavo, whether he like it or not. I don't. So out of respect, don't tweet nothing with his Twitter name on it.
Starting point is 01:26:29 Kendrick Perkins responded, With all due respect, homeboy, you can miss me with all that. That man mentioned my name first in one of his songs. So as a man, I have the right to say something back. Real talk. Jose Guapo then said, As a man, you do what's that. That's why you do.
Starting point is 01:26:42 That's why I told you it's respect first. But he ain't mentioning you. We respect what you're doing for the culture. We can get more money together than against each other. But I don't like your outfit and your profile, big person. Oh, they both, I mean, they both right, though. Like, neither one of them are wrong. Kendrick does have a right to respond because Quavo said something about him.
Starting point is 01:27:02 Yeah, he can respond, of course. And Guapo, you know, is right, too. And he said everybody should be getting money together and yada, yada, yada. But, I mean, all it does is bring more attention to the song. I'm sure more people went to go scream the song to hear what Quavo said after Kendrick replied. Kendrick's like, yeah, we can do this together. But first, I'm going to get these bars back at you. I'm going to go right back at you.
Starting point is 01:27:20 I like both of them. I enjoy Quavo'sars and I enjoy Kendrick Perkins' Appendant. Alright, now get ready to see Taraji starring in Annie Live. NBC Holiday production of Annie Live has cast Taraji to play Miss Hannigan.
Starting point is 01:27:38 So they have yet, they have not yet discovered who is going to be playing the young star Annie, but the live production will be on Thursday, December 2nd on NBC. Remind me who Ms. Hannigan is again. That's not the foster mom, is it? Carol Burnett, yeah. That was the foster mom?
Starting point is 01:27:52 We love you, Ms. Hannigan. Okay. So that's the mean foster mom? Yes. Okay, gotcha. All right, Jennifer Lopez, in the meantime, has inked a first look multi-year Netflix deal. So as part of the deal, she'll produce both scripted and unscripted movie and TV content for Netflix.

Starting point is 01:29:02 And Nene Leakes, she was on Hollywood Unlocked, and she talked about some of that Real Housewives of Atlanta drama and why she left and going to the executives and whether or not the other women had her back. Here's what she said. I did reach out to them about certain issues. I did not reach out to them about pay, but I did certainly reach out to them about all standing together, asking the network and the production company to do certain things and
Starting point is 01:29:27 let's do it all together but that failed because we had one cast member to go around us and go to the network without us all going together and when they did that that weakened us was that candy yes all right right to the point, Jason Lee.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line this morning. We have Jennifer Carol Foy. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:31:17 Good morning. Good morning. How are you? And I'm asking that sincerely. How are you? I'm doing well. I feel good. I've been working hard, fighting for 15 months. And, you know, we're just less than, you know, a couple hours away from our election.
Starting point is 01:31:32 Running for governor of Virginia. Goober National, right? What does that mean? Yeah, that means I'll lead this commonwealth in the cradle of the Confederacy. We're about to elect the first black woman governor in the history of our country. Wow. You know, it's so interesting. You come highly, highly recommended. My man, Carlos Watson was like, yo, you have to have Jennifer Carol Foy on. She's amazing. She's about to be the first black woman governor in the country. And I was like, yeah, sure. And you're an HBCU alumni. That's right. Hail State. Okay. So what are you planning to do for HBCUs in Virginia?
Starting point is 01:32:06 Let's start there. So graduating from Virginia State University, one of the best HBCUs in the country. Not only did I graduate from there, but I also taught there as well because I know the black excellence that our HBCUs produce in teaching and nursing and medicine and engineering and you name it. So I wanted to give back as much as I could. And so as governor, I'll make sure to make our HBCUs research and development universities so we can draw down those federal funds and the next best great idea or invention happens at an HBCU. Also addressing that gap that we have. We have kids dropping out of our HBCUs because they are having debt but no degree, because the amount of tuition, room and board, books, costs more than the amounts of loans and grants that they're eligible for. So making sure that
Starting point is 01:32:59 we can keep our kids in schools, that's what's most important to me. So increasing financial aid is tops. And I have to say capital improvements as well. You know, I talked to the president at Norfolk State University and she explained to me, Jen, our science building is crumbling, literally, not figuratively. So we need some dollars. And I am going to show up in a big way as a state legislator, already helped put forth a budget that gave historic amounts of money to our HBCUs. And I'm going to continue to do that as governor. Now I was going to ask you, you know, Virginia has known to be a very racist place. A lot of things that they do, it doesn't necessarily benefit our community. How do we start to change that? I went to Hampton
Starting point is 01:33:39 University, so I've seen it from early on. What can we do to stop all that racism that is so strong in Virginia? So we have to change people in positions of power. That's number one. Because when you have people who went to church, we went to church, went to our schools, breathed our air, walked our streets, lived in our communities that have long been ignored, neglected, and left behind, you know, they're going to put policies in place that's going to uplift our communities in a real way. So that's what we have to start. And that's one of the reasons why I'm running for governor. I was born and raised in Petersburg, Virginia. It used to be an affluent and well-to-do
Starting point is 01:34:14 African-American community. But when jobs left, businesses closed in despair, high child poverty, high crime rates, they all crept in. And politicians of the past turned their backs on us. And, you know, we had to fight and fend for ourselves. But luckily, you know, we are a strong and resourceful people. And we've been able to do that. But we're not looking for a hand out, we're looking for a hand up, someone who's going to fight for us. So that's why I became a public defender, a foster mom, community organizer, and a state legislator, where I've been able to pass bills to reduce the Black maternal mortality rate, right? Where Black women are four times more likely to die during childbirth. And I almost became one of those statistics as well, because I wasn't seen, I wasn't believed, and I wasn't heard. Help pass the bill to prohibit these
Starting point is 01:34:59 chokeholds by police officers, so we don't have an Eric Garner situation in Virginia. Diversifying a teacher workforce because statistics show that if a black child has a teacher that looks like him or her, they are more likely to graduate from high school and go on to college. The reason I've been able to pass these bills and budgets is because people have believed in me and the messaging in this campaign
Starting point is 01:35:21 and we're gonna make it bigger and better as governor. What do you think? I mean, why do you think your campaign is so quiet? Because I think about the last two, you know, brilliant black people who had an opportunity to take over as governor, Miss Stacey Abrams and, you know, Brother Andrew Gillum. Like, why do you think those seem like those were like made a lot of noise? Why do you think your campaign has been so quiet? I think that the media has been slow to pay attention to the race and governor because there has been a lot going on. I mean, 2020 was tragic. Right. It took us through it. And then we had to fight for the White House. We had to win Congress.
Starting point is 01:35:58 And people, you know, media donors, voters, they've been exhausted. People are just now starting to tune in to this race in the last couple of weeks. And it's perfect time because we have the mobilization, the messaging, the people, the wind to our backs, and, you know, the excitement and energy that's going to help us win this. But, you know, those candidates, Andrew Gilliam and Stacey Abrams and all of them,
Starting point is 01:36:20 they laid the foundation and built the framework for other campaigns to build. And we're starting a movement. I anticipate in 2022, there are going to be Black men and women running for governor and higher positions all over this country because it's reverberating that you can't just thank Black people for delivering the White House and Congress. You have to support us when we're ready to lead. And we should be where all the decisions are being made.
Starting point is 01:36:44 We don't just need bills and budgets written for Black women. We need them written by Black women. And we're going to be heard from today. How would you define the current political landscape after Trump? Define it as divisive. You know, both political parties have kind of gone to their respective corners. Some people see any type of compromise or negotiation as, you know, treasonous. And we have to get back to that space where, you know, it's the art of negotiation. You give a little something, I give a little something. But at the end of the day, the job is to get the job done. So being one of the first women to ever graduate from Virginia Military Institute, one of the top military colleges in this country, it taught me that.
Starting point is 01:37:27 Like, it doesn't matter how this person worship, who they love, where they come from. You know, people are dying. People are hurting based upon what we do or we don't do. And that's what's most important. But, you know, we are in a place where facts don't matter, where, you know, people don't care. It's all about self-preservation. And what I'm hearing from Virginia voters is that they're frustrated with the partisan politics and divisive rhetoric. And they just want people who are going to get things done and improve their quality of life.
Starting point is 01:37:54 And that's why I'm running. What would that mean to you to be the first Black woman governor in the country? It would mean the fact that we are breaking down barriers and blazing trails. But this is nothing new to me. I'm not new to this at all. You know, being the first public defender ever elected to the Virginia General Assembly, the first woman, one of the first women to graduate from Virginia Military Institute, and the first woman to run a race while pregnant with twins, being out raised and out endorsed
Starting point is 01:38:20 and still winning my legislative seat. I play no games. So I'm here to ensure that we make this one happen on June 8th.
