Also, Malcolm Gladwell joined us today to discuss his thoughts about the current President and more.

This is Chris Brown. I've officially joined the Breakfast Club. Say something, mother... I'm with it. The world's most dangerous morning show. Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, USA! Angela Yee will be here in a second. What up, Charlamagne? Peace to the planet. It's Tuesday. Yes, and happy Valentine's to everybody out there today. Today is Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovers, all the happy couples. Happy, damn, you lonely again this year day to all you women who are single yet again this year. You know what I mean? Happy Valentine's Day to everybody out there. I'm sure somebody will try to encourage you and tell you that everything's going to be okay. And it will be. But today is a little rough. Yes. When you do want somebody and don't have nobody.

But shout out to all the single men and single ladies out there. It's Valentine's Day. It's a made-up holiday. Oh, it's a made-up holiday? That's what everybody who's single says. Why does everybody who's single try to rain on the parade of those of us who are in happy relationships? Well, I'm not single, but I think. So what are you talking about?

It's a made up holiday. I mean, it is. It's not a made up holiday. You don't have to feel bad just because it's Valentine's Day. I told y'all somebody was going to try to make you feel happy about being single. Didn't I? There's nothing wrong with it. Hey, there's nothing wrong with that.

Some people are single by choice. And it is what it is. Okay. Okay. Okay. Well, shout out to everybody that came last night. I taped our podcast, The Casey Crew. We had over 700 people.

Both shows were totally sold out. It was so crazy. We had to turn people away. Amazing, amazing time last night. We talked about our relationship for about a good hour and a half. Did you cry? No, I didn't cry. I held that tear in.

I did not cry. I had some special guests that surprised me. Michael, I didn't cry. I held that tear in. I did not cry. I had some special guests that surprised me. Michael Bivens came through. Oh, that's nice. Michael Bivens and his wife came through to show support and show love. Also, Lil Mo came. Drop on the clothes bar for Lil Mo. She actually sang and performed forever at the end of it for all the couples

and everybody together. That's so sweet. And destroyed it. Killed it. Listen, Lil Mo has been one of the best vocalists out here on these streets. She killed it. We had such an amazing time last night. Like I said, the place was sold out. We had so much love, so much support. The show was supposed to be about an hour and

40 minutes. Both shows went for two hours and a half. Comedians came on after and just came out and showed love. So shout to Rick Michaels. Shout to Caroline's. Shout to Charisma. Charisma helped me

put all this together. She handled the merchandise last night. She handled everything that needed to be handled last night. And Caroline's is the world famous comedy club

here in New York. It was just an amazing night. A lot of couples came. They were single people. Girls came with their friends. Fellas came, you know, together. It was... Oh amazing night. A lot of couples came. They were single people. Girls came with their friends. Fellas came together. It was... Oh, fellas came together?

Fellas came together, too. But you know what? The funny thing is, is fellas came with their girl, and then they'd be asking, like, so, cheating. If I cheated, how can I get some help? People were just asking.

What do you mean, how do you get some help? There were people in there that were going through. If you cheated and you trying to get through getting caught. Right. Well, they got caught, but they just needed to know,

you know, is it possible? Is there a way out? Is their wife going to forgive? A girlfriend going to forgive? So we went through the whole thing of my thing and when Charlamagne

gave me donkey today, everybody thought that was funny. I was like, y'all remember when Charlamagne gave me donkey today? She was like, yeah. And I had to explain that Charlamagne is that one friend that if you

were going through something, let's say you wanted to commit suicide, don't call him because he'd be like, hold on, let me get my recorder, tape it, do it. That's not true. That's not true. I might tell you to relax your dumb ass. I'm not going to sugarcoat anything. You know what I mean? I'm not going to say get the

recorder, do it. I'm not going to do that. Come on, stop it. I wish I could have made it. It sounded like a great time. I had to do, I did my lip service with Trey Songz yesterday, and then I had to do a book club meeting for the book for my book club this month, which is Issa Rae's Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl. But I did wish I could have made it.

Unfortunately, yesterday was jam-packed. I didn't do nothing yesterday but sleep And get upset at the fact that Beyonce really did lose Almeria I don't know what at some point yesterday It just set in on me and I hate to I don't give a damn about the Grammys but I was really pissed off Because Adele's 25

Is not even better than Solange's Seated to Table Okay So it damn sure isn't better than Lemonade And you know I was pissed off yesterday too How they gonna do that to my guy Victor Cruz They just gonna release Victor Cruz Okay. So it damn sure isn't better than lemonade. And, you know, I was pissed off yesterday, too. Why'd you get pissed off? How are they going to do that to my guy, Victor Cruz? They just going to release Victor Cruz? Yeah, I've seen that.

I was upset about that. Victor Cruz gave the New York Giants seven years. He cut his salary for the Giants and didn't have to. And then they just cut him, let him go. He hasn't been producing. And what, you think it's loyalty in this game? He was injured. He was injured.

And he produced for a lot when he was making minimum, league minimum, and he was busting ass for them. They should have gave him a shot. Man, you got to produce, and you want to go on that boat? You can't even be the OG that keeps Odell Beckham out of trouble.

At least we'll keep you here, you know, so you can help guide Odell. But you can't even keep guide Odell? You want to go on the boat with him? Okay, buddy.

He was the only one on that boat with his shirt still on. He didn't have his shirt on. He didn't have his shirt on. Yes, he did. He was the only one. It's a picture right there. He was the only one with his shirt on his shirt still on. He didn't have his shirt on. He didn't have his shirt on. Yes, he did. He was the only one. It's a picture right there.

He was the only one with his shirt on and clothes on. Maybe he was trying to get them off the boat. They shouldn't have been on the boat. They shouldn't have been on the boat to begin with. Playoff game, you the OG. You got a Super Bowl. You supposed to tell Odell, look, this isn't a good idea. Period.

Now, what's your value? I like Victor Cruz. I'm not mad. Good dude. But what's your value? You're not producing amazingly on the football field, so at least let your value be you can babysit Odell Beckham Jr. He just came back from injury.

He was getting himself together. Well, I wish him luck in whatever team he plays for. I always support Victor Cruz. Good guy. Good dude. Real, real good guy. All right, front page news. What are we talking about?

Well, we're going to talk about the missing Ku Klux Klan leader who was found shot dead, who was very close to him, who they think did it. Okay. All right. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. And I forgot to mention Malcolm Gladwell. Arthur will be joining us this morning. One of my favorite offers. Drop on the Clues bombs for Malcolm Gladwell.

If you're not familiar with the name, which you should be, I'm sure you're familiar with his book, The Outliers, or The Tipping Point, or David and Goliath, or Blank. He'll be here. I was getting a haircut yesterday at the barbershop, and my barber, I told him who we interviewed, and he was so excited. He pulled out all his books.

He's a Guatemalan barber, right? But he was so excited about Malcolm Gladwell. Malcolm has written a lot of books. He's sold billions of books. A lot of people live by his stuff. Absolutely. That's my guy. Well, let's get some front page news.

News. I said news or news? You said news. I meant one news story. Just one story? I think we're just doing one story. All right. Let's talk about the KKK.

Yes. new story. Just one story? I think we're just doing one story. Alright. Let's talk about the KKK. Yes, so apparently they found a Ku Klux Klan leader Frank Ancona from Missouri. He was shot in the head while he was asleep and now they are saying that they have to investigate his widow, Melissa Ann Ancona

and her 24-year-old son Paul Edward Jinkerson Jr. They've been charged with first-degree murder, tampering with physical evidence, and abandonment of a corpse. So they are saying that his wife and stepson are the ones that killed him as he slept. Yeah, they said his wife and stepson wanted to watch Black-ish, and he would have a fit whenever Black-ish would come on in the house,

and they just got fed up. Melissa had posted a note on her Facebook page Friday saying that her husband was missing and pleased if anyone sees anything, call the police. Then she said she was looking for a new roommate. Listen, man, they want to watch Empire. They want to watch Insecure and Atlanta on Demand. They want to watch Black-ish, and here come this guy being the fun police.

So they just got fed up. Now, according to police, Melissa did admit during a police interview that her son had shot her husband and that she had helped to clean up the blood and conceal the murder. All because the son won't listen to Big Sean New Al. And he will not, he don't want that jungle music in the house. My goodness. Jesus Christ, man. Now, I saw this story and I thought of you immediately, Charlize.

Scary news right here. Start the music. Sandusky. Jerry Sandusky's son has now been charged with sexually assaulting children. Why do you thought about me when you heard that story? Because you always talk about Jerry Sandusky. Oh, yeah. Jerry Sandusky would make a great horror movie one day.

One day I'm going to do that. Now, Jerry Sandusky is the former Penn State assistant football coach that was convicted of sexually assaulting young boys. His son, Jeffrey S. Sandusky, 41, now faces 14 criminal counts including solicitation, sexual abuse, child pornography, and corruption of minors for alleged crimes between 2013 and 2016. At least one of his victims,

and there was two teenage girl victims, was under 16 at the time of the abuse. Why is that crazy? The fruit don't fall too far from the tree? It's culture. Clearly it was a culture in that house. I mean, your dad does it, and now it's the same with you? That is kind of crazy.

Is that in the blood? Wasn't the story? Well, he's adopted. Oh. Jeffrey Sandusky is one of Jerry's six adopted children. And didn't he used to molest some of his adopted children? Wasn't that part of the story? That was part of the story.

Absolutely. So the fruit don't fall too far from the tree. He learned that from daddy. That's crazy. He learned that from daddy. That's crazy. He learned that from daddy, the Sonny Sandusky. That's the sequel. You just scared me. You do the horror movie, Sandusky, and then you do the Sonny Sandusky, the sequel.

I am scared. All right. Well, that's front page news. Tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent. Call us right now. Phone lines are wide open.

Again, 800-585-1051. Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, yo. This is DMX. You know what makes me mad?

When people ask for the truth but can't handle the truth. Now tell them why you mad on The Breakfast Club. Bitches. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is I-4-SIM. Envy was popping. Happy Valentine's Day, who's this? Yo, this is iPhone Sim. Envy was popping. Happy Valentine's Day, Angela. Hey, boo.

Of course, man. Hell yeah. We're good, brother. Tell him Happy Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day, y'all. I'm the man. Thank you, brother. I appreciate that.

Y'all sound cute. The reason why I'm mad is because I can't never'all. I'm the man. Thank you, brother. I appreciate that. Y'all sound cute. The reason why I'm mad is because I can't never tell them why I'm glad. And I'm glad that the income tax check did not come out yet. Why? Why? What do you mean why? I ain't about to spend that whole income tax. When somebody know that you got something, they want more.

This is going to be the best Valentine's Day ever. We're going to talk. We're going to chill. We're going to watch Netflix. Hey. We're going to talk. We're going to chill. We're going to watch Netflix. Hey. We're going to go through my whole federal. iPhone Sims, you know the best thing you can do this Valentine's Day? Put your iPhone down.

Put your iPhone down. Don't live through your screen tonight. Talk to your bae. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Mr. Hollywood. Mr. Hollywood, tell them why you mad, bro. All right, man. I'm single on this Valentine's Day.

I done messed up my Valentine's. So you got a deep voice. All right, man. I'm single on this Valentine's Day. I done messed up my Valentine's. So you got a deep voice. Two years, too. Say what? You got a deep voice for nothing. You can't even call nobody and whisper no sweet nothing. There's nobody here, huh? You feel me?

So, man, I'm on my way to work right now. I'm just thinking about my Valentine's. Man, I just texted. She's asleep right now. I just wanted that bizarre. So I made it myself, man. Well, shout her out, bro. What's her name? Leah. I love you, baby. Tell her come home.

Come home, baby. Come home, baby. Where y'all at? What city y'all in? I'm in Houston, man. Man, you better get up for somebody else doing this fine Valentine's Day. Hey, get what? One thing, I know two things for sure, man. She gonna be in my corner regardless.

If we together, we ain't together. That's baby mama. You better be in her corner regardless, too. Yeah, be it in the corner, be it in somebody else's bed on Valentine's Day. Two different things. It's definitely two different things. He feeling the day, the spirit of the day. Hello? Yo.

Yo, tell them I'm your man. Yo, that's to all pedophiles, man. And this your boy, man spirit of the day. Hello? Yo. Yo, tell them how you're doing. Yo, death to all pedophiles, man. And this your boy, man, your favorite DJ. Shout out to my favorite DJ. Party party guy. What's going on, guys? Hey, party party guy. Death to all pedophiles.

Death to all pedophiles. Death to all racists. Hey, listen, man. Can I share something with y'all? Because I noticed that Charlamagne, he always rereading the Bible. Charlamagne, did you know that in Genesis chapter 1, verse 26 and 27, it testified that there's a female image of God also? It says God created man in his image according to his likeness.

Yeah, but out of God's image came male and female. Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely. We're all in the image of God. But nobody talk about the female image of God. Everybody only talk about the male image of God. But without a female, there's no life. So Bible clearly testified that there's two God. There's a male image of God and a female image of God.

But many people don't know that. I believe we're all in the image of God, sir. Have a good morning. All right. You still have an unblocked porta potty guy? No, he's still blocked. Why? It's Valentine's Day.

Can you unblock him now? I'm not going to unblock him Valentine's Day. I'm not going to unblock him Valentine's Day. Come on, that'd be sweet. Easter, I'll unblock them for Easter. All right? Easter is actually more of a sexual holiday than Valentine's Day. That's where the whole thing about Easter derived from,

because people used to paint their bodies, and then they would play hide and go fornicate. So whatever you found, you had to have sex with. So if a man found a man, you have to have sex with a man. If a woman found a woman, she had to have sex with a woman. And that's why the bunny represents Easter because bunnies represent sexual fertile creatures. Alright, so what about Independence Day? I don't know nothing about Independence Day.

Alright, I'll unblock them on Independence Day. Tell them why you glad now. 800-585- It's not tell them why you glad, it's tell them why you blessed. You didn't let iPhone Sims turn the freaking title of it. If you're blessed and highly favored, you call us now. That's right. 800-585-10. If you're blessed and highly favored, you call us now. That's right. 800-585-1051

if you're blessed and highly favored. And please don't call up here and talk about I feel so blessed to be single on this Valentine's Day. No, you don't.

You do if you just got out of a bad relationship. No, God. There's nothing like getting out of a terrible relationship and finally having some freedom and some time to yourself.

Oh, boy. And resetting. You still want a Valentine. Nah. Valentine's Day is nice. It's nice if you have somebody, but it's reset it. You still want a Valentine. Nah. Valentine's Day is not, you know. It's nice if you have somebody, but it's not the biggest deal in the world. All right.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Double checking on you. Listen up. Are you blessed and highly favored? I feel blessed. Tell the congregation at 800-585-1051.

It's a celebration. It's the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Destiny. Hey, you feeling blessed this morning? Huh? Am I mad at someone? No, are you feeling blessed this morning?

You going out with your lady? Oh, no, no, no. But it is SideChick Awareness Day, which falls the day before SideChick Appreciation Day. That is a fact, sir. But you don't have a main girl, so it don't matter. I mean, I got a main girl, but we're not doing this today. Oh, got you, got you, got you. Listen, never get to the point in life where you're focused more on side chick awareness day

than you are, you know, your main boo-boo Valentine's. Boo-boo. Oh, no, that's not for me. That's for them. Okay. Okay. All right. Thank you, bro.

All right. Well, happy Valentine's Day to everybody out there. Hopefully you enjoy your day. And, you know, just remember, you woke up this morning, so you should feel blessed. Yeah, man, it is a tough day, man. I mean, you know, today is a damn, I'm lonely again this year day. And it's also a side chick awareness day as well. That can be tough on a lot of women, too.

and all I did was I hit different artists on Twitter and asked them what's their favorite song, and then we made a mixtape out of it. And each song had a person by it. Okay. It's cute. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk. Waka. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them.

With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, yesterday we played you some disturbing audio from this DJ, Bob Romanek. He's on an AM station in the St. Louis area, which, by the way, he does, yes, own a few different stations. AM frequency. So he can say what he want. He can take his life. We'll see. But here was the original audio that we played of what he had to say about Waka Flaka.

He was upset that Waka wiped himself with a Donald Trump T-shirt. Waka Flocka. He was upset that Waka wiped himself with the Donald Trump t-shirt. Waka Flocka. He took a good crap on our president-elect shirt. And you think that Trump has done anything to this man? Trump will probably do more for this black b**** than Obama has ever done for the proud black community. In my opinion, of course.

Think about it. We're talking about Waka Flocka, that greasy black b**** son of a b****. But it says you should not flaunt your support for Donald Trump at a Waka Flocka show. Why not? I tell you what, you black bastard. Let me wear a Trump shirt and you grab it off me. You'll be the deadest son of a bitch walking around. He called him a greasy N-word.

And like I told y'all yesterday, if you never heard what a racist cracker sounds like, that's a racist cracker. Absolutely. Well, Waka Heston said he's goinger sounds like, that's a racist cracker. Absolutely. Well, Walker Heston said he's going to pull up. Let's see if he says that to my face. And here is how Bob Bromineck has now responded. He said he will stop calling him a greasy N-word. If he'll take the violence out of his rap, I'll never again call him a n***a. And I'll apologize to him.

But until then, he is what he is. I'm not a racist. I don't like that no good greasy son of a bitch. That's not hatred in the community. It's not hatred for the blacks. It's hatred for him and his actions. And he can talk about killing people and killing cops and killing crackers,

but I can't. He said that I was disrespectful for calling him a n***a because I'm nothing but a white cracker. I just want equal treatment. When did Waka Flocka talk about killing cops? I don't know. Killing white people.

I've never heard him say that. Maybe I missed something. Did I miss something? And it's a difference. It's not killing white people. It's crackers. That's a racist cracker right there you hear talking. Okay?

It's a difference. This isn't going to go well, but I hope that all this attention makes people say that he needs to be off the radio. Period. Period. But that's when you can't generalize because there's a difference between all white people and racist crackers like that man right there. You just like saying cracker.

You just said it about six times. Hey, I call it like I see it. Cracker ass cracker. This guy here. Hey. All right, now, just in time for Valentine's Day. For all you guys out there that maybe have nothing to do, Playboy is back.

If you remember, there was a period of time where they weren't doing anything nude, no nudity at all. Well, now they're back to being naked. They said the results just weren't that good. Now they're back in the game, baby. The new issue, which is available now, you can download it online and everything, has nudity back in effect.

Why do I need Playboy when I got social media? Like, you know how back in the day they would say you read... They have good articles. Exactly. You'd read Playboy for the articles. Like, nowadays, you really do read Playboy for the articles. You got social media, you can see something naked anytime you want. Now, Hugh Hefner's 25-year-old son, Cooper, is now in charge. He's the chief creative officer, and he did a letter from the editor.

And he said it's the new Playboy philosophy. So he said on Twitter also that the removal of nudity from the magazine was a misstep. He said, I'll be the first to admit that the way in which the magazine portrayed nudity was dated, but removing it entirely was a mistake. Nudity was never the problem because nudity isn't a problem. Today we're taking our identity back and reclaiming who we are. Drop one of Clues bombs for Hugh Hefner, man. Hugh Hefner about to hit a century, ain't he?

Did he die? No, he's alive. Stop it. I thought he died. I feel like as long as Hugh Hefner can get an erection, he'll be alive. The day he gets erectile dysfunction is the day he's going to die. All right. There you have it.

And Lil Yachty, if you guys saw him on the Grammys, did you see his teeth? His grills? Yeah, his grills. Well, he's talking about exactly how much he paid for it, how much you think those cost. They were white, blue, and yellow diamonds, red rubies, and green emeralds. Each tooth was a different jewel.

$25,000, $30,000. $35,000 he paid in order to get that. I can't stand to see older people clowning Lil Yachty. We didn't used to wear grills and all kind of other stupid stuff when we was that age. Like let the kid be a kid. I saw you had that commercial with It Takes Two. Yeah, I've seen that. I was like, does he know that song?

It's a Target commercial. It's a Target commercial. Lil Yachty's in all kind of commercials. Drop on the Clues box, Lil Yachty. I was like, he's doing a song that he probably would have said was whack because he don't know all that old music. Oh, so he actually rapped over raw bass? Yeah, It Takes Two. You didn't see the commercial?

No, last commercial I seen with raw bass. I thought that was very ironic. I saw SportsCenter 6 with Michael Smith and Jamel Hill had the It Takes Two commercial. I didn't see Lil Yachty. Yeah, they on Target. Oh, it was Lil Yachty and Carly Rae Jepsen. Yes. I saw it on mute.

No, I did. The TV was on mute. I did see them running around the Target. I just thought it was funny they would use him for that. Just because, you know, you don't know that old music. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. When we come back, we got front page news.

What we talking about? We are going to be talking about Jerry Sandusky. His son now is being charged with something very similar to what his daddy was charged with. All right, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it to what his daddy was charged with. All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Watch it. I swear to God, they be my clones. There we go. Bad and bougie. Valentine's Day, not for the thot thots. Not y'all day. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Now, some sad news. The New York Giants release Victor Cruz. Why is that sad news? Why would you mean? He played there for the last seven years. Yeah, but Victor Cruz will probably get picked up by like the Patriots or the Cowboys, somebody who's actually going to contend

for the Super Bowl title next year. Why is that bad news? Like I told him yesterday, I said, I'll ride for you regardless of what team you play for unless it's the Patriots or Cowboys and you're on your own, bro. Well, you ain't really riding for him then. You should be happy that that man's going to go to a winner, alright? No, you guys ain't winners yet.

Don't put that out there. And by the way, Victor Cruz probably would still be a member of the New York Giants if he knew how to properly babysit Odell Beckham Jr. But no, he want to go on the boat with him. Okay? The more mature player who got a Super Bowl ring couldn't keep the young boy with the dyed hair off the boat.

So if you can't keep him off the boat, you can't keep him from getting off stage and dancing with Young Thug, I don't see what role you can play here. Stop it. Now let's get to the KKK. Yes, the KKK, well, a self-proclaimed leader from Missouri, a Ku Klux Klan leader. Investigators are saying he was shot in the head as he was sleeping in his bed.

And now they are saying that his wife and her son, his stepson, Paul Edward Jenkinson Jr., have been charged with first-degree murder. They're saying that Frank Ancona's body was found along the Big River by a family who was out fishing. Police determined he was shot before dawn in his bed. And then he was taken to the river in his stepson, Jankerson's vehicle. Now, Melissa Ancona posted a note on her Facebook page saying that her husband was missing, and please, if anyone sees anything, call the police.

Then she said she was looking for a new roommate. Sounds like a case of a house divided. You know, your father's the head of the Ku Klux Klan, but the mom and the son want to watch Black-ish and Empire and Insecure and Atlanta and listen to Big Sean's new album, and the father just couldn't handle it. Now, a photo on the website shows him in a white hooded robe in front of a burning cross with the message that he says that KKK must defeat communist, socialist, anti-God, anti-white, anti-American enemies

within our own borders. He's dead, though. He is dead. We call that karma. They don't know who his murderer is. No, they're saying that it was his widow and her son that did it. Listen, if you're the head of... She actually admitted that her son killed him. If you're the head of the household and you

also are a member of the Ku Klux Klan and your kids or your wife want to watch Black-ish or something like that, just let them. It's all entertainment. Okay? If they can love them on the TV, just don't love them in real life, right? It's okay. Okay. Now let's talk Sandusky.

Yes, one of Jerry Sandusky's sons. He has six adopted children, by the way. Jerry Sandusky, if you all remember, is the former Penn State assistant football coach that is convicted of sexually assaulting young boys. Penetration State University. Well, now his 41-year-old son, Jeffrey Sandusky, faces 14 criminal counts, including solicitation, sexual abuse, child pornography, and corruption of minors for crimes between the years of 2013 and 2016.

It was two teenage girls, and one was under 16 at the time. The fruit don't fall too far from the tree. Like, what did y'all expect? Yeah. Like, I don't understand. What did y'all expect? Like, it probably was a culture in that household. Didn't they say Sandusky was molesting one of his adopted kids at one point?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, man. Like, I can totally see this being a culture in that household. Yeah, disgusting. He learned from daddy. Very sad for these poor people that will suffer for the rest of their life potentially from this. All right. Well, that's front page news.

Now, when we come back, let's talk Valentine's Day. Let's talk Valentine's Day. Hey, happy Valentine's Day, everybody. Here's the thing, right? What's that? You have people out here who want to rain on the lover's parade today. What you mean? You got these people that'll say things like, it's just another day.

Which it is. It's not. You said that on the way in. It's not just another day. It is just another day, though. Why you got to rain on the lover's parade? I mean, it's nice, but it's not like the end of the world. Is it just another day for you?

No, it's not just another day. It's not just another day. It's a like the end of the world. Is it just another day for you? No, it's not just another day. It's not just another day. It's a day for lovers. It's a day for those of us who are in happy, stable relationships to express that love, even though we do it every day. But Valentine's Day is that day. Every day should be Valentine's Day. Come on, man.

That's that Teddy P. Now play some of that Teddy P. Now you can let some of that Teddy P rip now. Well, now Valentine's Day is that special day. You said something special up for your lady. There you go. You make her feel wanted. Come on, man. Take her to get a milkshake and special up for your lady. There you go. You make her feel wanted. Come on, man.

Take her to get a milkshake and only get two straws. There you go. One milkshake, two straws. Yeah, absolutely. Come on now. This is what you look up. What Teddy Pendergrass say, it's all good. You look up toes today.

That's right. Loving somebody who wants somebody to love you back. Damn it. Don't let these single people rain on your parade. And miserable people. It's just another day. It's not. Let me hear this.

Let me hear this a little bit. It's all good. What do you say, Teddy P? Loving somebody when somebody loves you back. Oh! You can stop it right there. It ain't no need.

That's all you need to hear. It's all good loving somebody when somebody loves you back. Just because you ain't got nobody loving you back, you want to tell me it's just another day.

Relax. Well, 800... Aren't you guys happy? Why are you trying to be... Hey, you're not even single no more. I know, but why are you trying to be mean? You need to let go of that single mind. I'm going to give you an exorcism. To people who aren't in a relationship.

Take this singleness out of Angelique because she's not single no more. Shout out to everybody. But she's still talking like a single lady. You need to upgrade your Beyonce catalog. You can't listen to single ladies and me, myself, and I no more, okay? I know, but I respect people who have made the decision to be single and strong. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

800-585. He is like the fat person who got skinny but still has sympathy for the fat people. I understand. Nothing wrong with that. 800-585-1051. Is Valentine's Day overrated? If you think Valentine's Day is overrated, call us up right now. And you better be cautious and be careful when you call up here.

800-585-1051. Uh-oh. No, not yet. Not yet. 800-585-1051. We need to see how this segment goes before we hit him with that Bobby Wal-Mart. I'm trying to have sympathy this morning. If you think Valentine's Day is overrated, call us up right now.

We'd love to hear from you. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Only dudes around Valentine's. I don't celebrate these commercialized holidays. Thanksgiving coming, you can't afford a turkey. I don't celebrate these commercialized holidays. White man killed all the Indians.

Stop trying to rain on people's parade. Stop. We have a young lady on the line. What's your name, mama? Jessica. Hey, Jessica. Happy Valentine's Day, boo. Thank you.

Where you calling from? Charleston, South Carolina. 8-4-3. Now, you think Valentine's Day is overrated? I do. Why? And no, I'm not single. I'm married.

But I've always felt that way, even when I was single. I feel like it should be like an every Friday thing or like a once a month type thing, not just one time out of the year. Okay, this is a prime example of when a guy treats you bad from the start, meaning that he never, ever celebrated Valentine's with you. You just normalize that kind of behavior and get used to it. Well, no, no. I don't like flowers. I don't like chocolate. I like fun.

Like, I don't know. I just go to stores on Valentine's Day, and it's like red balloons everywhere, and I just always thought it was overrated. So you're from Charleston. You want to go to Frankie's Fun Park and ride the go-karts? I do. See? I know.

She don't want like a cheesy present. She just wants to go out and spend time with her folks. You ain't never been to Frankie's. You ain't never been to Frankie's. I'm from there, okay? Good morning. Now, you think Valentine's Day is overrated? It's not that it's overrated.

You've got to understand what a situation a person's going through. Like my Valentine's Day is gone. He passed away. So you also have to take into that consideration. So today it is just another day for me and it's a very sad day.

I'm sorry to hear that. You're a fun killer bro. I'm like Jesus Christ. Well I'm sorry to hear that. But listen so killer, bro. I'm like, Jesus Christ. Well, I'm sorry to hear that. But listen, so you don't want to move on? It's so fresh. He just, he passed away last year. Did he pass away or get shot? Excuse me?

Did he pass away or get shot? He got shot. Okay. So he got killed. He passed away. He got killed. So it's hard. It's hard.

So you can't say that everyone, oh, it's just that people think it's just another day. I personally think it's just another day. It's a sad day. But I'm not going to knock everyone else that's enjoying it with their loved ones. There you go. That's all I'm saying. And just because you don't have a Valentine's Day doesn't mean you're single and lonely. You see she's going through

something and she's in mourning. Yeah, salute to all the women whose Valentine's Day, whose Valentine's was shot and killed. We don't never take y'all into consideration. Stop it. Hello, who's this? Sheesh. Oh my God, stop lying. It's Mimi. She didn't stop lying. Ain't nobody even said it. Hey, Mimi.

Hey, y'all. Now, Mimi. Hey, I'm on the phone with the breakfast club. Wake up. Is Valentine's Day overrated? Is it overrated? Mm-hmm. What are you doing today? I'm getting ready for work. I listen to y'all every morning.

I just wanted to tell y'all why I'm mad. Okay, hold on, Mama. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name is Kendra. I'm from Indianapolis, Indiana. Hey, Kendra. How are you? What's happening?

I just want to say I'm a huge fan of you guys. I've been listening to you guys for years. And Charlamagne, you crack me up. Thank you, baby. I appreciate that. How are you? Happy Valentine's. You think Valentine's Day is overrated, mama?

No, I don't think Valentine's is overrated. I think it's just overrated for the single people. Oh, my girl, Kendra. I knew it was going to be Kendra's spirits. That's all I have to say. It's not overrated. It's just for the single ones. That's all?

The single people always want to rain on our parade. Thank you, mama. For real. You're welcome. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Mimi. Hey, Mimi. We're talking Valentine's Day.

You think Valentine's Day is overrated? Well, I mean, I'm going to say it's overrated because I'm lonely, you know. Yes, yes, yes. So you're not doing nothing today? No, no. I love your realness, boo. Why you ain't got nobody? Is it you?

I don't think it's me. I was lonely last night, though, so I called my ex-boyfriend. He in my bed right now. Oh, you are not lonely. So you got you a temporary Valentine. That's all. Let me talk to him.

Put him on the phone. Hold on. Let me talk to this man Put him on the phone. Hold on. Let me talk to this man, man. Make sure you have a good day today. Say good morning. Morning. Good morning. So what's up, my brother?

So let me ask you a question. Are you going home to your main girl today? Are you going to chill with Shorty? Yeah, I'm going to take a trip. Oh, you got to go back. You got to go with your man. You got to go home to your main girl? I got to go check in.

That's why. God damn. You got to go home to your man, girl? I got to go check in, yes, ma'am. God damn. So usually side chick awareness day is today, and then side chick appreciation day is tomorrow, but you got to jump on it yesterday. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Hey, man, I ain't mad at your player, man. At least get the girl balloons. Somebody ain't getting some fellatio today. Excuse me? No fellatio. Hey, man, buy her a balloon. the girl balloons. Somebody ain't getting some fellatio today. Excuse me? No fellatio. Hey, man, buy her a balloon. Just one balloon. Just one. Oh, my gosh. And make it pink, not red. Red means love.

Damn it, man. Thank you. I love it, man. I love our listeners. We got the best listeners in the world. You hear me? 800-585-1051. We're talking Valentine's. Happy Valentine's, everybody out there. If you think Valentine's Day is overrated, call us up right now. We'd love to hear from you.

It's the Breakfast Club. you you you you you you you you you We are the Breakfast Club. Now, today is Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day to everybody out there. Yes. And we're asking a lot of people feel like Valentine's Day is over. Ain't a lot of people. It's mostly single people. No, you said it.

She's not single. Because you still got, she's still acting like a single woman. Listen, I'm just pointing out the fact that just because you're single today, it's not the end of the world. It is just February 14th. Yeah, all of that sounds good, but I'm telling you, man, it's Valentine's Day when you start, and social media don't make it no better. When you start seeing all them flowers and balloons posted on the gram and on Snapchat, that loneliness going to set in, brah, brah.

It's going to happen. So I just want to tell all of y'all out there, don't go raining on people's parade just because you're single today. All right, mind your business. All right, well, let's go. You don't got nothing good to say. Keep it to your damn self. Hello, who's this?

Hi, this is Lakeisha. Hey, Lakeisha. Hey, good morning. You think Valentine's Day is overrated? No, of course not. You talk to him, Keisha, because you're in a nice relationship, right? That's right. That's right.

I was so excited when I got up for work yesterday. I went straight, got my man something, my daughter and my mother. And then I woke up at night, so what I did was when I came home, I put the gift on the dresser. I went to sleep, and when I woke up, I woke up to a gift. So we both looking at gifts together going, oh, we so in love. It was real cheap, though. There you go.

Love to you and yours, boo. And I'm glad you got your mom something and everything. I'm actually going to take my mom out this weekend for Valentine's Day just because I'm not going to have a chance to see her during the week. Okay. Hello, who's this? Yeah, Valentine's Day is overrated, man. Why is it overrated?

Because you ain't got nobody? Nah, it's just overrated because girls be wanting the most. They want a car. A car? Who are you dating? be wanting the most. They want a car. A car? Who are you dating? They want the most. Just saying, man. If this is going to be chocolate and a movie, then fine.

But they be wanting the most. I don't know who is asking you for a car. I don't think Valentine's Day is... For Valentine's Day. I don't know about all that, bro. This sounds crazy. Man, they want birthday gifts and Christmas gifts. I'm saying, if you just want chocolate and a movie, that's cool.

Sir, it sounds like you are getting used. Valentine's Day is a day of appreciation for the one you love, sir. My goodness. Hello, who's this? Detroit the Truck Driver, baby. Hey, Detroit the Truck Driver.

We're talking Valentine's Day. Is Valentine's Day overrated? No, it's not, man. It allows the man to buy presents for the woman so when tax season comes, they can get part of that check. You know, it's like

making an investment. You know what I'm saying? Oh, I making an investment. Oh, I like your angle. I like your angle. I need a couple thousand. I spent a couple hundred, give me a couple thousand. That's true, though. What you said is absolutely right because April right around the corner, don't expect that girl to break you off none of her tax return

if you ain't done nothing for her for Valentine's Day. You can't get her hair done. You can't let her wear that candy lingerie. You know what I mean? There you go, my brother. Put it on, baby. Hey. I love you, brother.

I like what you're talking about. Hey, what's up, Angelique? So today is Valentine's Day. Happy birthday to Valentine's Day. There's a lot of people. Happy birthday to Valentine's Day. I meant happy because you're on drugs. What the hell is wrong with you?

Happy birthday to Valentine's Day. It is. Well, technically he's right because every year Valentine's Day celebrates another year. So it is Valentine's Day's birthday. Jesus Christ. Happy Valentine's Day to everybody out there. Now, a lot of people think that Valentine's is overrated. And Angelique said this morning that she feels it's kind of overrated too.

I don't know why Angelique is still acting single. You're not single no more, Angelique. That I sympathize with anybody out here that might feel bad today. So I don't think you should feel bad if you and single. You're not single no more, Angelina. That I sympathize with anybody out here that might feel bad today. So I don't think you should feel bad if you're single. It's just another day. What are you doing today for Valentine's? I'm going to be honest with you. My boyfriend doesn't live here, and I have to work all day.

I'm actually hosting something for Trade Songs, and I got to do a State Farm podcast. If y'all really want to know what I'm doing today. Your boyfriend ain't flying to town for you? Who knows? Hey, Angelina, your boyfriend, if you listening, you better surprise Angelina today, okay? Because I'm hearing a lot of singleness coming out of Angelina, and that's not

how she's been sounding lately. So you need to make this right. Everything is good. Because Angela will resort back to single woman mentality quick, fast, in a hurry. You don't want that, sir. I'm getting some money today, though, so that's what makes it hard. I don't know why everybody wanted to book everything for today.

I know if I was Angela Yee's boyfriend and I wasn't in town and Angela told me that she was doing an event with Trey Songz tonight, I would have my ass in New York City with her before she gets some drinks and a little Trey in her. You know what? I ain't going to lie. That's one thing I'd have to put down. Get your...

You can't do your Disney event with Trey on Valentine's Day. Well, you got to get your ass in time. Listen, maybe Gia should come with me. No way. Nope. I'm going to knock Gia off and she's going to fall asleep. She is not going nowhere. Gia, come out with me to this Trey Songz event.

We'll do some shots. And also, I want to say, man, salute to all the fat chicks out there. Why the fat chicks? No, listen, for real, salute to all the fat chicks out there celebrating their true love today, which is food. You may be single now, but you'll catch mad discounts on the chocolate later. Charlamagne, I thought you were going to be nicer this year. What happened to the nicer? That wasn't nice?

No. The nicer, gentler. You telling me that wasn't nice just now? I shouted out the fat girls. You did. I shouted out their true love food and I let them know that there's going to be discounts on chocolate tomorrow. What's the problem?

That's the moral of the story, you jerk. That was the moral of the story. Yes, the fat girls need love too. Alright. We got rumors on the way, Yee. Yes, let's talk about the Grammys. Do they have a history of racism?

We'll tell you some certain numbers and see what you think. And also a tweet that Solange put out that has since been deleted. And Charles Oakley, he's going to be back in the garden. We'll tell you how this happened. Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Tory Lanez with love. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. That's a good Valentine's Day song, Tory Lanez, love. Yeah, it is. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk the Grammys being racist.

Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. being racist. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. The rumor report. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Solange seems to have somewhat of an issue with

the Grammys. Now, she had tweeted out a link to Frank Ocean's Tumblr post. That post was about the Grammys giving the 2016 award to Taylor Swift's 1989 over Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly. Then she tweeted out, and she has since deleted this tweet, there have only been two black winners in the last 20 years for Album of the Year. There have been over 200 black artists who have performed.

Only two black winners in the last 20 years. Lauryn Hill was one. Who was the other one? Oh, Harvey Hancock. Now, the truth is, in the Grammys' 59-year history, there's only been 11 black artists who have won Album of the Year also. Outkast was one of them. I remember that.

Just to give you guys those numbers. All right, meanwhile, there's been a positive effect for some artists. Chance the Rapper, his Spotify streams have been up more than 200% after the Grammys. In addition to that, A Tribe Called Quest, the song We the People that they performed during the Grammys, was streamed 441% more than before the awards show. I wonder if Trump supporters know that

song is satire. Like, they're speaking from the mind state of somebody who wants Muslims out of the country and gay people out of the country. I don't think Donald Trump's probably ever heard it. Yeah, but I'm, because I was wondering that while they was performing it. I was like, I hope people understand

this is like satire, so to speak. Right. And I was sitting around yesterday saying to myself how clueless the Grammys are because there's absolutely, positively no way

Adele should have won Album of the Year. Now, y'all know I'm a Pinky Smith, Winfrey, Nose Carter, so I'm a Beyonce stan, but come on. And I like Adele,

but 25 is nowhere near as good as Lemonade. 25 ain't better than Seated at the Table. I wasn't going to play this clip, but come on. And I like Adele, but 25 is nowhere near as good as lemonade. 25 ain't better than seated at the table. I wasn't going to play this clip, but Amizi, let's get this clip ready because the game actually weighed in on this whole Beyonce versus Adele controversy. And here's what the game had to say about Adele. Who the f*** says hello from the other side that's not an alien? She deserved one. She's on another level.

You know what, man? I think at this point, Adele probably knows that Beyonce is her only competition worldwide and Adele probably knows, I mean, and Beyonce probably knows that Adele's her only competition. Beyonce ain't got no competition. We gotta stop this. She really don't have any competition.

Just all around. And I'm not knocking Adele. I think Adele is talented, but would you pay to go to an Adele show? No, they can't tie Beyonce's shoes. I mean, I'm not a huge Adele fan like that. Like, I am a Beyonce fan, so... Just simply look at the performances at the Grammys. Adele is unseasoned chicken.

You'll eat it. You know what I'm saying? It's healthy for you, but it ain't great. But I don't even want to compare the two. They're just such a different artist. Why you have to use food? I don't want to... I just think she's unseasoned chicken.

I do. I just think... But major props to Beyonce. Yeah, come on. It's not even close, man. All right. The first black bachelorette finally is going to be Rachel Lindsay. The bachelorette...

Oh, so it's really going to happen? It's really... Well, yes, it's really happening. They announced it. Wow. Last night, the new Bachelorette will be Rachel Lindsay. I haven't seen it in like two weeks,

but they have a black Bachelorette. It's never happened in the history. This is like the 10th season, 11th season. It's the 13th season. 13th season. It's a big deal? Yes.

It's a big deal. There's never been a black Bachelorette in 13 seasons. Black people get kicked out like the first two weeks. So hold on, Bachelorette's the single people looking for relationships, right?

Correct. I can name millions of them right now today on Valentine's Day. Not on ABC on TV. It is so many black bachelorettes, white bachelorettes, yellow bachelorettes out here in these streets today. I might actually watch you this time. We really have to support. We really have to watch and support because if the ratings dip, they're never going to do it again. So we really have to go out and support this young lady.

I want to see who Rachel Lindsay is going to pick. She's a 31-year-old attorney from Dallas. So she's the first ever black lead in the history of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, which is a spinoff. We got to support her. The Bachelor is in season 21. It's a lot of first black things that I will put my support in. I don't think The Bachelorette will be one of them.

You got to watch it, man. I just think it's probably some a lot of more important things out there. You know what's interesting? Because I never really watched The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. I've caught it a couple times. But the other day, I was doing something for Entertainment Weekly, and The Bachelor was in there. When I tell you people went, I wouldn't even have known who he was.

Yeah, no, it's great. But they went crazy. I've never seen people go crazy. They're always at the iHeartRadio Music Festival when we're there. They're giving out awards and introducing performers all the time. Everybody was going crazy. All right, Charles Oakley will be allowed back in the building at Madison Square Garden in the near future.

How did this all happen? Well, there was a peace talk between James Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, and Charles Oakley, the player from the Knicks who we all know got ejected from the game, dragged out, and was arrested and charged. Now, the NBA commissioner, Adam Silver, said it's beyond disheartening to see situations involving members of the NBA family like the one that occurred at Madison Square Garden this past week.

So he said that he met with Charles Oakley. He met Michael Jordan was on the phone, also met with James Dolan. And I guess they were very apologetic about the incident, about the comments that were made, about the negative effect on the Knicks organization and on the NBA. And so they said, we are hoping that Mr. Oakley will return to Madison Square Garden as James Dolan's guest in the near future. And Michael Jordan was on that phone call. A lot of people don't know Michael Jordan and Charles Oakley are real good friends. He was even security.

He was Michael Jordan's security at one time. They used to gamble together all the time. They always go on trips. It's not just enough to let Charles Oakley in the building. Charles Oakley should never have to pay for tickets to come into Madison Square Garden. Come on, man. That's beyond disrespectful.

That man should have his own seat at the garden. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports. All right. Thank you. I was born a donkey. It that is your Rumor Reports. Alright, thank you. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the devil. It's the donkey of the devil.

It's the donkey of the devil. It's the donkey of the devil. It's the donkey of the devil. That's pretty funny. The devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. I just gotta let God speak through me this morning and get this word out.

Oh, boy. Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, February 14th, Valentine's Day. You know, on this day, we recognize a few types of people. Of course, those of us who have our booze, our baes, our wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends, the ones amongst us in society who are in happy, loving, stable relationships. This day is for us, the lovers, and let's not act like being in love isn't a great thing. What Teddy Pendergrass say?

What he say? Huh? It's so good. Love is somebody. Somebody loves you back. That's a fact. Man, drop one of Clues bombs for the lovers. Today is your day.

And don't let nobody ruin your day today. Because we all know Sir Isaac Newton's law of energy. And the law of energy is that energy is never lost or destroyed. It's merely transferred from one party to the next. And on this day, you will have those people who want to rain on your Valentine's Day parade. You know the type I'm talking about. Those Valentine's Day is just another day, folks. This donkey of the day is dedicated to them.

All the miserable-ass single men and miserable-ass single women. I don't know why you're single. Maybe you had somebody, but things didn't work out. Maybe your significant other got sick of you. Maybe your girl cheated on you. Maybe you cheated on your girl, so y'all decided to call it quits. I don't know why you're single today, but that's not my problem, okay? Those of us who got somebody shouldn't

be, okay? Alright? Those of us who got somebody shouldn't be and won't be concerned about those in our society who have single as their Facebook status, okay? Ladies, if you're in a loving relationship, if you got someone, segregate yourself from the single today. Did you hear what I just said?

Segregate yourself from the single today, okay? Listen what I just said? Segregate yourself from the single today, okay? Listen to me, people. Segregation was a great concept that was poorly executed. It should have been based on behavior, not race. And on Valentine's Day, there's nothing wrong with a little segregation, okay? Let the me, myself, and I crowd congregate amongst themselves. Oh, oh, oh, oh, you don't know who the me, myself, and I crowd is?

Oh, they the women who used to be huge Beyonce fans, but they claim they can't feel Beyonce like they used to because she married now. See that Me, Myself, and I crowd took a vow that from now on they was going to be their own best friends? Stay away from them. They woke up this morning with this hook in their head.

Me, Myself, and I That's all I got in the end That's what I found out. And it ain't no need to cry. I took a vow that from now on, I'm going to be my own best friend. Me, myself, and I, that's all I got in the end. It's my song, though. That's what I found out.

I bet it is. And it ain't no need to cry. I took a vow that from now on, I'm going to be my own best friend. Me, myself. Just because he had the cute vibe in the video. Mm-mm. Me, myself, and I, had the cute vibe in the video. Mm-mm. Me, myself, and I. That's all I got in the end.

That's what I found out. And it ain't no need to cry. I took a vow that from now on, I'm going to be my own best friend. How them vows working out for you on this fine Valentine's Day? How is it being your own best friend? Hey, Miss Me, Myself, and I. Are you and your own best friend going to be on social media today watching the lovers having a grand old time?

Huh? Just remember, ain't no need to cry. And I can't be too hard on a lot of y'all because for some of y'all it's not your fault, you know? Like I said, you might have had a no good man. He did you dirty. Wasn't what you thought. He thought you in love, but he was just treating you like a thot thot. Or you could be like the young lady who called up

last hour and said her man got shot shot and killed. Okay? Things happen. It's all kind of circumstances that lead to people sitting around listening to Alicia Keys try sleeping with a broken heart, you know? Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart? Have you? Or you could try sleeping in my bed?

Nope. I'm good. Damn. Enjoy your twin bed all by yourself, okay? I'm over here in this nice king size with the wife. I'm cool. But I sympathize with you, though. Sympathize? Sympathize, okay? I know. I do. I do. I do. I really do, okay? I just want y'all to keep all that negative, single, brokenhearted energy to yourself until tomorrow.

But regardless of how brokenhearted you are, don't go raining on people who have someone's parade today, okay? Now, there is a thing called Galentine's Day. You ever heard of that, G? I just heard about that, actually. Was that yesterday? It was yesterday. I'm not even going to lie to you.

My wife showed me this because she knows what amuses her husband. Okay? And Galentine's Day started as a fictional holiday on Parks and Recreation. If you don't know what Galentine's Day is, it's usually on February 13th, and it's when women get together and celebrate the joys of female friendship. They do things like send cupcakes to themselves, and the cupcakes will say things like, I love me. Okay?

See, I'm going to tell you why this holiday is BS. It's BS because you wouldn't be celebrating the joys of female friendship on or around Valentine's Day if you had a man. It's women out there sending their homegirls Valentine's Day gifts, talking about happy Galentine's Day, because what they really want to be doing is buying their man something, but they can't because they ain't got nobody.

Nobody. Look, man. Look, I truly want the best for you all. I do. I say that with a straight face. I love you. I sympathize with all single people because I don't want you know, I don't know what the circumstances are that led you to be single,

but I need you all to stay the hell out of our way today. Okay, leave us alone. Keep your negativity and your bitterness to yourself. Today is not just another day. It's only just another day if you're single and have no one to call your Valentine. So please let us lovers cook, all right? Go celebrate Galentine's.

Go do yoga. Find something to take your mind off what us lovers are doing. Don't be a joy kill. And for all you people out there saying Valentine's Day is just another day, you need to realize that the day has just started, okay? You fine now. But when the reality sets in that you don't have nobody, nobody, okay? When that reality sets in, man, that hurt really don't set in until later. It gets worse after breakfast.

Really bad by noon. But when the sun starts to set, oh, trust me, if you think you're lonely now, just wait until the date. Hit it, Bobby. Hit it, Bobby. Hit it, Bobby. Hit it, Bobby. Hit it, Bobby. It only gets worse. Lonely songs are the best songs.

Oh, if the day goes longer, it only gets worse. Okay? Please give all these single, lonely, miserable, Galentine's Day celebrating eyes people who want to be joy kills for those of us enjoying Valentine's Day some of the smooth sounds and the hammer tones. I don't want to be too hard on them. Just give them a little hammer tone. You are the donkey of the day.

Hee haw. And happy Valentine's Day to all my single ladies out there. Nothing wrong with that. When you in love, you want to spread love. There's nothing wrong with that either. Nobody. Is B in town yet, Yee?

He need to be on his way. Because you've been telling me more and more single is the show been going on and I know you got a man. No, I'm very happy and stable. It's just, you know, I knew I was going to be busy. I have a very busy schedule during the week. I celebrate things on the weekend.

My goodness. Well, stop it, you jerk. You're a jerk. You know that? Alright. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. I bet you Trey bring you flowers tonight. Trey Songz, that is. Trey Songz sends stuff to the women every year. I'm always on that list. Boy, Angelina, you better get in town if you know what's good for you.

I've seen this happen before. He's not worried at all. He's good. I've seen on that list. Boy, Angelina, boyfriend, you better get in town if you know what's good for you. I've seen this happen before. He's not worried at all. He's good. I've seen this movie before. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. You guys are foul. 800-585-1051.

Now, when we come back, we have an author that's going to be in the building. He goes by the name of? Malcolm Gladwell. Malcolm Gladwell. Let me throw Envy the assist. You know what? Yes. All you lonely people

out there, let's try to enlighten and empower you this morning. We're going to shift gears a little bit. And FYI, single does not equal lonely. You can be in a relationship and be lonelier than a single person. You know, it's only going to get worse. If y'all don't mind, I'd like to talk about this woman of mine.

And as the day gets colder, it's only going to get worse. She's always complaining about me never being at home. Ye boyfriend better get him down now. But when I'm down, bro. Oh, man. She's telling me about the things that her girlfriend's got. What she ain't got. And she want me to go out and get them for her, but girl, I can't be in two places at one time.

Wipe the tears. Wipe the tears from your eyes. If you think you're lonely now, wait until tonight. The Breakfast Club. That was us with Confessions. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. One of my favorite authors. I'm sure you've read The Tipping Point or David and Goliath or Blank. Probably the most famous one. Outliers, right? Maybe, yeah.

Malcolm Gladwell is here, ladies and gentlemen. Good morning. He shares my birthday September 3rd. I heard there was like five people out there with September 3rd. Wax, Paige. So when was everybody having sex? In December? Okay. Around Thanksgiving, maybe? That sounds about right.

I've read your book, The Tipping Point, and it's described as that magic moment when an idea turned to social behavior, crosses a threshold, tips and spreads like wildfire. I feel like we're in the midst of that right now. I feel like we're in the midst of a tipping point. No, there's something very crazy going on in this country. I feel like people woke up. We had it easy for eight years, and now we've suddenly had to wake up. And it's kind of, I was watching these videos of these town hall meetings,

these Republican congressmen go home to their districts, and it's insanity, right? It's like, they've never seen this. They're used to 20 people sleepily, you know, asking them questions and people are just going crazy. It's sort of fantastic. So you think Donald Trump was the tipping point for the country? The election of Donald Trump, so to speak? I mean, I think something in that, there's something that is hugely significant going on with people are being forced to sort of figure out what they believe in and what they stand for.

Right. And I woke a lot of people up. But I think this has been building for a while. I think, you know, you you look at what was going on with Black Lives Matter over the last couple of years. People have been that process of getting woken up has been predates Donald Trump. I mean, I remember I was one of the I had this strong feeling when people were really this country in years, because police shootings like that had been going on for generations and nobody said anything. Finally, people were like, wait a minute, this shouldn't happen. Right. And so I was so incredibly heartened by that. Finally, we're like saying we can't this shouldn't go on. Right. We got to we have to. And I feel like that had that energy has fed into the Donald Trump election and is creating something even more significant.

On the flip side, what do you think the tipping point was for, I guess, those poor and disenfranchised white people who voted for Donald Trump? Like for the Donald Trump supporter, what do you think the tipping point for them was? To say, you know what? I would vote for a reality show star to be black man then chief. People always dismiss this. I think a lot of people were angry about having a black man as a president for eight years and then a woman as the only,

as the successor. I mean, there's a point at which sadly certain Americans demand one of their own after a while. Too much of a threat to white male authority. Now, let me ask you this. Tom Arnold was recently talking about how Hillary Clinton wanted him to release these audio recordings he had of Donald Trump using the N-word and just being racist and all of that. But he said he didn't do it because he didn't want to hurt people's families.

And he also felt like it wouldn't matter. We already heard so many things that Donald Trump said, still elected him as president. Do you think that anything could happen that would matter to change people's minds before that election? Like if those audio tapes would have come out, that it would have changed people's perceptions? Or you think it was just they were going to elect him no matter what had happened in his past, what he did, what he said? Really, really interesting question. I mean, the question is how much, the amount of stuff that has come out on this guy that is outrageous,

that doesn't seem to make a word of difference. There's already, there's a mountain of it, right? So would that additional thing of him using the N-word have pushed him over the top? Maybe, in one sense. And that is that, I feel like people, after the tape came out with him basically talking about him. Grab him by the butt.

I feel like a lot of people in the Republican Party were really particularly evangelical Christians were really, really close to saying, maybe I have to wash my hands of this guy. And maybe they just needed one more little bit of evidence to suggest that this is the way he is as opposed to just some random comment he happened to have made on TV. So I think that might have... And also it might have made a difference in getting... I mean, the real problem on November 4th was a lot of Democrats didn't vote. And that might have made a difference in getting a lot of Democrats to vote,

to say this is a heinous individual and we have to exercise our vote on Election Day. So, you know, I mean, it's impossible to know, but I kind of wish he had let that out. If it exists, let's see it. I still want to hear it now. So does Donald Trump have a tipping point? I think, you know, it's funny. Every time I go out with, I had lunch the other day with some very powerful media figure. I won't, I mean, not that powerful.

It wasn't like, you know, serious. Some guy who knows what's up. And he was talking about other tapes out there that would be even more damaging. Now, is that, are these urban legends? Is it real? I don't know. But I sort of feel like there is a point where absolutely, I think, I mean, I think people and Republicans in Congress

are already holding their nose. I mean, they're going along with him because they think they can get their agenda through him of, you know, lower taxes on rich people and whatever else they want. But there is a point where even they have to say enough's enough. Now, for someone who hasn't read The Outliers, can you quickly explain the concept of being an outlier? That book talks about, you know, things like persistence and luck

and how culture shapes you and all of the other kind of factors that can turn someone who is relatively ordinary into something extraordinary. And you can write 10 books on that question. But that was my kind of shot at it. It was really fun to do, by the way. Even in David and Goliath, you talk about challenges and how we think about obstacles and disadvantages. What it means to be discriminated against and suffer from setbacks, disabilities. Do you feel like we have any advantages right now with this current administration?

Yeah. You see racist plans have come back full force. We're discovering how to fight. We're discovering community. We're discovering all kinds of things that, like I said, have been dormant for years. I've said on my second season of Visionist History, all kinds of things that, like I said, have been left, have been dormant for years. You know, I've been, I've said on my second season of Visionist History, I have four episodes about the civil rights movement. And I'm going back to the early days, to the 50s, basically. And what

is really interesting to me is, so these are people who are living in the South in a segregated environment. They have no power. Zero power. Right? And they're starting from scratch and trying to make and fashion a new society out of craziness and bigotry. And how do you do that when you have no power? We've got to, we're up against a very, very powerful set of,

let's face it, enemies. We've got to learn some of those. We have to go back and look at the people who started the fight 60, 70 years ago and learn from them. All right, we've got more with Malcolm Gladwell when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

That was Khaled for free. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have author Malcolm Gladwell in Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have author Malcolm Gladwell in the building. Charlamagne? This whole discussion of white supremacy and, you know, you see white supremacists in these positions of power. I feel like that also breeds inferiority complexes for everybody else.

Yeah. You know? I mean, I think you're talking about our new attorney general, Mr. Sessions. Mr. Sessions, Steve Bannon. These guys are, they're just flat out racist. Nancy Pelosi called Steve Bannon a white supremacist. I think that's exactly what he is deep down. Does it breed inferiority or, I think it reminds us the battle's not over.

Even while meaning white people in this country want to do is they always want to say the battle for civil rights is over they always want to talk about it like it's in the past so they what they want is some sense of so they'll hold up famous events in american history the brown decision in 1954 the civil rights act of 1964 and they'll they'll glamorize those events and they'll say, that's when we solve the problem. Right. And his whole point was, that's a complete misreading of history. Those aren't the solution. They are, they're the beginning.

They're, they're, they lay the groundwork for all kinds of necessary work. The battle's not over. And what the most important thing we have to do is to remind well-meaning Americans that, look, it's not you can't solve these problems in a generation. Right. And you can't talk about them in the past tense. And that's what to me, people like Sessions, when he's when our attorney general is essentially an old school white Southern segregationist, right? When that is just a reminder, look, the battles that were taking place in the 50s are going to have to take place again in 2017 and 2018. You can't push this stuff into the past.

I think they asked you, if you could ask God one question, what would the question be? Who asked him that? I've seen it in a publication online. Oh, really? What answer did I get? I think it was something like, if he had any regrets. Oh, I see.

Is that what I said? That's a good answer. Yes. God regrets making life difficult. The reason I ask is because, you know, you look at God and you say he does everything for a reason. Everything that was built on earth. So to ask, did he have any regrets? I just wanted to know that answer.

Satan got a kingdom too, though. People forget that. built on earth. So to ask, did he have any regrets? I just wanted to know that answer. Say you got a kingdom too, though. People forget that. Yeah, yeah. What would I ask God now? I guess I would ask God whether he's running out of patience with us. Because I guess that's what I'd ask him. People keep telling me the world's about to end soon.

I'm tired of hearing that. But I promise you, so many people keep telling me that. And they're like, there's all these signs that the world is coming to an end. I haven't seen that for years, especially if you follow the Bible. Yeah, I'm not. I am at root.

I'm always at root being an optimist. So I'm going to say that I don't think things are coming to an end any soon. Gucci man said he reads your books. He said you're his favorite author. I said you're his favorite author. That was like the greatest moment of my life. I was like, suddenly I was cool. Did you know who Gucci was?

I knew who he was, but I didn't know he was a fan of mine. And I was like, I mean, I have, there's like one day a year when I get to pretend that I'm cool. That was the day. I tweeted it out. I had like a picture of Gucci man holing up like David and Grider or something. I was like, oh my God, this is like fantastic. Have you spoken to him yet? I haven't spoken to him.

He, but I, you know, I'm like thrilled to bits. And we had a little love on Twitter. You know, everybody knows the whole concept of white privilege. Do you feel like privilege is just something that's exclusive to white people? No. But I do feel

that the thing about privilege, particularly in this country, is that it's incredibly persistent. So that when people acquire privilege, it's really, really hard or difficult, or they're really, really good at holding on to it, right? And they structure institutions and laws and systems so that they don't have to surrender that privilege.

And so once you understand how durable principle is, you realize that there are real historical patterns. So because white people were originally in this country, the people who held almost all privilege, they still hold on to a lot of it. Now, not exclusively. It's different than it was 50 years ago. But there is still an entrenched body of privilege in this country, which is the same way which has existed for generations. And every time there is any kind of activity in Congress about making new laws about taxes or something, you look below the surface, you will see that people who have privilege are finding ways to extend their privilege one more generation.

A lot of times I feel like we're not privy to a lot of those conversations. I think a lot of times that privilege is taught from generations to generations to generations. I mean, there are many different ways in which people achieve kind of special status. And, you know, hopefully we're in a world where inherited privilege will slowly over time shrink and other kinds will get a chance to flourish. I think we're in that world. Well, as a black man, because you are a black man, Malcolm. Thank you very much.

Because I'm half, I always have to, you know, it's always up in the air. What would you consider black privilege? I talk about black privilege the same way I would talk about any kind of cultural privilege. If you belong to a community that's real, that creates things, that is full of joy, that has a heritage and a tradition, then you've got a form of, and you can access that world, and you're not afraid of it, or scared of it, or ashamed of it. You have privilege. You know, you see a version

of this in sports. Since we're talking about my heritage moment, talk about West Indian sprinting. Why are so many Jamaicans... I know we're going to get this written. It always comes to this. Listen, I can't pass up an opportunity to talk about Jamaica and Usain Bolt.

Yes. So there's many different explanations for why Jamaicans completely dominate the world of sprinting. One explanation, though, is simply that if you look at the history of Jamaican athletics, they had a series of transcendent runners in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. When you have that kind of tradition, what that means is if you're a seven-year-old and you're athletically minded and you're growing up in Kingston, you have a model for how it works. Look at it, right.

It's more than an inspiration. It's like you know that someone who grew up down the street from you was capable of running 9-6-2 in 100 meters. You know it's not just an abstract possibility. It's a real thing. You've watched this guy on the track, right? Same thing with, you know, Steph starts launching threes. And suddenly everyone is, you watch college basketball now, they are launching threes from so far downtown.

It messed up kids' basketball. That's all they want to do. But it's still, it's like, everyone's all of a sudden is like, whoa, it is possible to routinely make 40 footers. Yeah, at least they're taking the shot. You know what I'm saying? I'm happy that you're at least taking the shot.

Somebody has to inspire you to take the shot. Someone has to make it and make it concrete. It's concrete when you see somebody down the street doing it. Absolutely. Now, my final question. Is there anything in your books you don't believe anymore? Last time I talked to you, you told me there were some things you don't believe. And that's bothered me ever since.

Well, here's the question. Here's the thing. There has to be. Because you have to keep changing your mind. I guess that's what I said last time. And I believe it's even more strongly now. I mean, we could sit down with the books and go through, and I could say here's how my thinking has changed,

but if you can't do that about something that you wrote 10 or 15 years ago, you're not alive. Right? You have to say, so absolutely there are things there. We all change our minds about things from 10 or 15 years ago. What are you working on now? Is it just a podcast, or you got another book coming? I got another book, sort of, which I'm going to start after I've done this second season of my podcast.

What's the concept? I don't think I'm allowed to say. Oh, okay. I think it's a mystery. I think it's a mystery. Well, follow Malcolm Gladwell on social media. He's at Gladwell on Twitter. Y'all don't think you have an Instagram, do you?

No, I'm too old. It's sad. Well, at Gladwell, Malcolm Gladwell. Go pick up all his works, man. The Tipping Point, Blank, Outliers, David and Goliath, What the Dog Saw. I think a lot of things that he's written about really are a testament to the time we're in right now. There you have it. Well, we appreciate you joining us.

Thanks. This is really fun. Don't make it your last time, Malcolm. I'm trying to get Malcolm up here forever. Bye. Breakfast Club. Good morning. On Valentine's Day. Oh, boy.

Oh, I get it. You strong and single. You got to work all day. I understand. Hey, Shetty. My goodness. Single sauce. Single sauce.

My goodness. Single sauce. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Angela Yee just receivedlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Angela Yee just received a huge package up here. Envy said it looked like somebody died. It was a big-ass heart-shaped floral arrangement.

Take a picture and put it on the ground. Who sent that? I'm about to. Who sent it? Sheesh, you already know. Your boyfriend sent that? Of course. You better do something because you're going to be with Trey Songz tonight.

You better do something. Valentine's Day. I don't think them flowers are going to cut it. I think you need to come in town, bro, bro, if you know what I know. I'm just saying. She's going to be with Trey Songz tonight. What you and Trey Songz doing? I'm hosting something for him for his, you know, his show, Tremaine the Playboy.

Yes. Right, so it's the premiere of the show. So it's going to be drinks. A lot of people and all the women on the show will be there. It's going to be drinks and Trey Songz. And you think sending a heart-shaped bouquet of flowers is going to be enough? Single sauce. Stupid.

He said another bouquet is actually two bouquets out there. All right, you better get your bouquet to New York instead of sending bouquets. Bouquets and vases. And she's going to be with Trey Songz tonight. Better get your ass in town if you know what I know. Stop. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Nick Cannon. This is the Rumor Report

with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, we told you yesterday that Nick Cannon was quitting his job at NBC because he feels like he got some backlash after he made some jokes on a recent Showtime special. He wrote, I wish America's Got Talent and NBC the best in its upcoming season,

but I cannot see myself returning. Well, according to network insiders, they were blindsided by what Nick Cannon said. They said they never threatened to fire him, and they also said he has a contract, so he would run into legal problems if he tried to follow through with his threat to actually step down. So Nick isn't quitting. I guess they're saying he legally

can't because he's under contract. Nick, I hope this ain't just a promo for your stand-up special, especially being that the stand-up special already aired. Like, if he was gonna do this, you should've did it before the special aired. Then we probably would tune in to see what the joke was. Right. You know? Well, no. Maybe he really wasn't. He wrote a long post about

it. So I think he really was upset that NBC had an issue. Because I guess in his contract, he's supposed to run by anything that he says about the network before he does it in his stand-up. And then he went ahead and did it and didn't run it by them. So where did he get this news from that they was going to fire him? I don't know.

Maybe they were upset and he got overly dramatic. I have no idea. Maybe somebody's lying. Who knows? I have no idea. All right. Birdman has shared that there's going to be a new Rich Gang project, and that release date he has put out, it's going to be April 15th.

That's when the new Rich Gang project is going to drop. He put a picture of himself and Young Thug on Instagram with the hashtag Rich Gang to April 15th album Birdman Young Thug. Wasn't Rich Homie Kwan in there? They got rid of him, I think. I think he, Rich Homie Kwan always said that he never was signed

with any paperwork or anything. I think Young Thug said that too, I thought. Yeah, so I mean, maybe they're not. Maybe it's just a collaborative effort. I don't know. I'm always here for new Young Thug music. I enjoy Thugger Thugger's music, even though he wants to torture me.

I think he likes you now. No. I remember he posted, like, a picture of you. No, that was before. After that, he posted the video saying he gonna torture me. Oh, well. Just not on Valentine's. Please.

He might like it. All right, Bobby Brown is supposed to be mad about a Bobby Christina biopic that's coming. TV One is doing this biopic. I saw that. And we saw a picture. Demetria McKinney is going to play Whitney Houston, and they're saying that they're also going to have

Vivica Fox as Pat Houston, which is Bobby Christina's aunt. If I was Bobby, I'd be pissed off, too, because, number one, why does Bobby Christina need a. If I was Bobby, I'd be pissed off, too, because, number one, why does Bobby Christina need a biopic? I mean, it's an interesting story, but I don't understand how they could just do biopics and not get Clarence. Well, Bobby Christina's supposedly down with it, and they don't need Bobby Brown's Clarence.

Bobby Christina's dead. I mean, oh, sorry. What are you talking about? She's gone. I didn't mean to say that. But, you know, the network bought the rights to the project, so. That's right. And, you know, they can do that.

Like, obviously, Lifetime did the Aaliyah biopic. Lifetime did the Aaliyah biopic. That girl was alive for 22 years. And nobody wanted that to happen. That girl was alive for 22 years. That whole biopic's going to be about tragedy. It's going to probably start when Whitney passed. I wonder if Nick Gordon is involved in this somehow,

because he's in it also. I think that's a terrible idea. Who bought the rights? From who? Well, they're saying the network doesn't have to clear anything. You know, anybody can do a movie about anybody. TV One, that is a terrible idea. I just want TV One to know that. That is a horrible idea. They could write a book about anybody. That sucks. I is a terrible idea. I just want TV One to know that. That is a horrible idea.

They could write a book about anybody. That sucks. I don't know what kind of meeting y'all had. It could be unauthorized. And somebody raised their hand and said, you know what we should do? A Bobby Christina biopic. But it always works out better if you have the family involved. Because obviously they have the best stories.

Absolutely. Insight. And the best information. All right, Beyonce is vowing to perform at Coachella. Pregnancy is not going to stop her from performing. But just in case, okay, they said that as long as she's healthy, she's going to perform. Just in case she's not, though, everybody involved is still going to get paid. And I guess that's the insurance policy that she has.

So even if you're giving up your time and whatever to work with Beyonce, saving that date and working, you still will get paid even if somehow, for some reason, she can't perform. Well, Beyonce, just do, take a page out of Adele's book and just stand in the middle of the stage and sing. Don't do anything else.

Just stand there with the microphone and sing. No, that's not based on. Exactly. Don't flex none of your superpowers since they want to front on you. Acting like you're using special effects at the Grammys.

Knowing damn well that wasn't nothing but Beyonce's superpowers. That was telekinesis and her being a telepath. No, that was... nothing but Beyonce's superpowers. That was telekinesis telekinesis and her being a telepath. No, that was... That made all of that possible. That was special effects. Nope. When that chair leaned back, that was Beyonce's mind.

No, it wasn't. Her brain. Get out of here. Okay. Alright. Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your Rumor Report. Alright now. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own?
