My wife is soon to be divorced down here. And I got a girlfriend. We got a new baby. I got three with my wife. And, you know, I always get the kids every weekend.
Starting point is 00:04:43 And when she bring them over, like, they get the whole house sick. Like, I never complain about it. I just go out in the medicine and just do what I need to do. But this time she gets home and she calls me and tells me my oldest daughter got a rash. Well, she's being really mean about it. So I'm like, all right, well, she didn't have one when I brought her over. But I used dog soap. She's trying to figure it out.
Starting point is 00:05:02 And I'm like, but, you know, she's sick again. Like, every time they get over here, I got a nine-month-old baby. You know, she's not as strong as them. They get her sick, and she just started flipping out. Like, I don't know what her problem is, man. She just got negative energy. And that always causes me and my new girl, you know, we get to arguing about that.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Yeah, that's annoying. Yeah, it is, man. It's like, I really, like, she's making it real hard to be a dad, man. She's like, I done went two years without talking to my kids before, you know? Just because of my relationship with her. I just need to talk to somebody about it, man. You just wanted to vent about it, I understand.
Starting point is 00:05:36 And it's important for you and your relationship, for you and your girl to really have a united front when it comes to these things so that you guys don't end up arguing with each other over your frustrations.

Starting point is 00:06:12 Breakfast Club. What's up? It's Sean Kian, Stample, Florida. How's everyone doing? How you doing, brother? Hey, man, blessed. Hey, all three of you, I want to say something. You guys, I have a question and a statement,
Starting point is 00:06:22 and I would like your input on the question. So the statement is, everyone, at least for one month or at least the holiday season, like, get rid of pessimism. You know what I'm saying? Like, so many people are ungrateful and not appreciative enough. You know? With that being said, I have a question. I'm just going to throw it out there.
Starting point is 00:06:39 With you guys being the number one, you know, with you guys being the last person, stations, who give you guys being the last per station to give 6'9", his potential last interview of his life, how does that make, like, Charlamagne, your input, especially, like, because you always try to give this young man advice, but he was going to listen to who he was going to listen to. What do you guys think about that? Like, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:07:02 Because it goes through your mind, I'm sure. I don't think about it, to be honest with you. I mean, God bless 6ix9ine, but he's just another individual who you tell the truth to, and people will call you a hater for it. People will tell you that, you know, they'll say you're being negative for it. But in the end, the truth always reveals itself. And, I mean, we're looking at the truth right now, him being in jail. Yeah, thanks, guys.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Also, I love your jacket, bro. You had a hoodie on the other day that said, I was watching on YouTube, and it said One Race, and it had all different shades of brown, black, white, and it said One Race. It said Human Race. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Rest in peace, XXXTentacion.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed,
Starting point is 00:07:55 we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. What's up, Brian? Get it off your chest. Yeah, man. I took this girl down to the Poconos, the soap hazing, man, for the weekend. Nice. She said she don't feel comfortable the first night for me and her to sleep in the same bed. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:12 You know what I did? Because all the situations that's going on nowadays, I just be like, you know what? I'll be right back. I'm going to go get another room. I take my bag, kindly put it in my car, drove off, left her there. You know what I'm saying? That's so rude. When she find out that I left her there, she called me.
Starting point is 00:08:30 And I said, yo, just call one of your girlfriends, tell them to come up and y'all could enjoy the rest of y'all stay together. You know what I'm saying? You sound like you're from Brooklyn. Yeah, you sound like you got an attitude because of that. I'm from the Bronx. But guess what? Guess what?
Starting point is 00:08:43 It's funny because a year before, I met one of her friends in Jamaica. You know what I'm saying? And it was easy to go down just like that. So I'm spending all this money, and you're telling me you don't feel comfortable? I'm just going to leave you there. Goodbye. You know what I'm saying? Listen, she was trying to spend some time with you to see if she would like you enough to do that.
Starting point is 00:08:58 What's wrong with that? That's kind of foul, bro. That's real foul. Nah, man. These cats not even taking these girls nowhere nowadays. I'm spending all that money.
Starting point is 00:09:07 My brother, just because you spend money on a young lady and take her somewhere does not mean that you are guaranteed
Starting point is 00:09:13 the poom poom, sir. Charlemagne, I'm Jamaican. I need that pooms right once I find that bread. Well, I say
Starting point is 00:09:19 that she made the right move then. Did you at least get one of those rooms with the champagne glass you could take
Starting point is 00:09:24 a bath in? Of course. That's what I'm trying to tell you. I'm trying to tell you. Yo, can we go down there for the weekend, me and you? Hell no. Because you're definitely going to leave. You know what?
Starting point is 00:09:33 Yes, you'll definitely be leaving me. Yeah, let's do it. Let's get a big suite. And then when you leave, I can invite my real boyfriend. Oh, really? You know I'm Jamaican. Don't do that. You're lame, bro, man.
Starting point is 00:09:41 You're real lame. Now, I do agree. I would much rather him leave than, you know, do something stupid. You know what I'm saying? But, you know. Listen, she dodged a bullet. That much of Uber is from the Bronx to the Poconos? It has to be at least $250. Hello, who's this? Hey, y'all.

Starting point is 00:12:41 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about Chloe and Tristan and their mess. And listen, I think I'm going to tell you my story. The craziest way I caught my boyfriend cheating on me, it was his birthday. He was at work and he was at my house the night before. So after work, he was coming and we were going to to dinner, and I had planned all this stuff for him. So I go on my computer to go Google the address of where we were going for dinner
Starting point is 00:13:08 just so I could make sure I had the directions and everything. He left his email up. He left his Gmail open. Oh, boy. So I was like, should I look at it? And then I was like, I'll just take a little peek. And then I saw all kinds of stuff on there, vacations that he went on with some girl that he worked with.
Starting point is 00:13:23 I saw pictures of him in the hot tub with another girl. It was on his birthday, too. And it was his 30th birthday, so it was kind of a big deal. But I was very calm about it. First, I sent all the emails to myself, and then I changed his password and logged out, and then I called him and I said, we're not going to dinner anymore.
Starting point is 00:13:40 And he was like, what's the problem? Is everything okay? And then I forwarded him to his phone, screenshots of everything, and he couldn't get back in his email, so he was devastated. what's the problem? Is everything okay? And then I forwarded him to his phone screenshots of everything and he couldn't get back in his email so he was devastated. Damn it, man. You know he only got one 30th birthday though.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Yeah. I'm just joking. Call one of them other bitches. Oh, damn, yeah. Sorry. All right. Let's go to the phone line. What you mean let's go to the phone?
Starting point is 00:13:57 We got two other people in this room that want to talk about this topic. What you mean? I told them myself. What about you, sir? Well, you know I'm an African-American male and as an African-American male, I don't cheat.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Okay, I rebuke Satan in all his wicked ways. And when I see these wicked Canadians in our country cheating, being nasty, while their pregnant woman is somewhere minding her business, I'm disgusted and reminded of why I'm a proud member of the FMC, which is the Faithful Male Community. Okay? But before that, how did you get caught? I don't know anything about that.
Starting point is 00:14:22 When your wife cheated on you before you told us that, how did you catch up? I don't remember. All right. When your wife cheated on you before you told us that, how did you catch up? I don't remember. All right. I don't know why he wanted to participate in this conversation. Let's go to the phones. I can tell you the dumbest way you could get caught cheating. How's that?
Starting point is 00:14:33 By being on the radio talking about the dumbest ways you got caught cheating. I think it was in the past. We already know because you already got caught. Well, there you go. I'm minding my business. Hello, who's this? D, like David D. Okay, David D.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Now, what's the craziest way, what's the dumbest way you found your man cheating? Well, it wasn't that I found him cheating. He found myself cheating. Woo! How'd he catch you? We were asleep one night, and we were at his mom's house actually visiting, and we were sleeping. And by 3 o'clock in the morning, I wake up to him with my phone in my face
Starting point is 00:15:04 with a picture of a d*** on it. You can say penis. Okay, so you woke up with a digital D in your face. All right. Did you recognize this penis? So I knew who the penis belonged to. True. It belonged to a person that I had cheated with.
Starting point is 00:15:19 But that doesn't mean you cheated just because you had a picture of a penis. Was your mouth on it? Were you in the picture? No, I wasn't in the picture at all, which doesn't mean I cheated, which I still to this day say I never cheated. Right. I mean, that's an easy one to slide out of. That's not an easy one to slide out of because I want to know who this man is
Starting point is 00:15:35 that feels so comfortable enough to send you D-pics. See, when you tell one lie, you got to tell another lie to cover that one up. So who is this guy that feels so comfortable to send you D-pics in the middle of the night? Well, he was a friend of mine that I haven't known for a very long time. Not anymore? Was it a good picture? Yes, it was. I think he was more mad because the guy was more in doubt.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Oh, man. No, he was mad because you was cheating on him. What's wrong with y'all? Are y'all silly? He was mad the penis was better. He was mad because you was cheating on him. And this guy felt comfortable enough to send you D-pics in the middle of the night. That's why he was mad.
Starting point is 00:16:06 My goodness. 800-585-1051. Have you ever got caught cheating? What's the dumbest way you got caught, I should say? Ladies, call us up. Fellas, call us up. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking Tristan and Khloe and their mess. And we're just asking, what's the dumbest way that you got caught cheating? Now, we got a friend to the room on the line. Trav, yeah?
Starting point is 00:16:31 Hey, Trav. What's up, Envy? Hey, Trav. I mean, I say hey, Trav. Hey, yee. Trav, I know you don't cheat. Um, I have cheated in my first relationship. Tell us how you got stuck.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Trav, I can't believe this. I don't even look at you like that. I was in my first relationship, yeah, and I actually got caught because I had told my boyfriend that I was going to my parents' house for the weekend, but really me and my best friend was planning on going to Atlanta. What's in Atlanta?
Starting point is 00:16:58 You had thought. What's in Atlanta? A bunch of gay men to cheat with. What the hell are you talking about? A bunch of gay men was in Atlanta. So what'd you end up doing? So me and my best friend went to Atlanta. So the whole time I'm in Atlanta,
Starting point is 00:17:09 he thinks I'm at my parents'. We live together, so my parents' house is like two hours away from where we live. So he thought I was at my parents' house. So I'm like sending him
Starting point is 00:17:16 pictures of my mom, from my mom's Facebook of her sitting at restaurants telling her mom with my mom at restaurants. You did too much. You look crazy. So I was at this club,
Starting point is 00:17:26 and I didn't know his best friend was down there, and he basically saw me and my best friend in the club. He told my boyfriend that he saw me in the club in Atlanta. Wow. Did he end it right there? No. No, he didn't end it with me, but I still ended it with him.
Starting point is 00:17:40 You ain't had no respect for him anyway, Trav, doing all that. I didn't really like him that much. My good Trav. You a ho, Trav. A former ho. Your name is EZK? Yeah, EZK. Hey, EZK. I wish your middle initial was Y. That'd be dope. No, alright.
Starting point is 00:17:58 EZKY. Alright, EZK. EZK definitely cheats. No, he called his girlfriend cheating. Now, explain your story, EZK. EZKY, definitely. I'm in the West Age. So, you know, I'm doing my thing, sliding on POF, thinking I'm all this, whatever. I get messages from this chick that has no picture. And I'm like, oh, like, this chick seems too perfect.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Like, even in the back of my head, I'm like, I think it's my chick or whatever. But I'm like, I fall for the bait, like the catfish. Then all of a sudden, my phone just started getting blown up on my girl. So wait a minute. Your girl made a fake social media page and you fell for it and she caught you? Yes. He did get caught.
Starting point is 00:18:39 That's your dumb ass. Damn it, man. Sorry for you. That's the oldest chick in the book. Hello, who's this? Yeah, if you're going to cheat, cheat face to face. Lottie. All right, Lottie. Did you catch your girl cheating or did she catch you cheating? Man, she caught me cheating, man. How?
Starting point is 00:18:52 Tell me. Over my iPad, man. She told me she needed it to use it. I can't remember what she wanted to use it for. And your text message is linked to your iPad. And you know it. Rookie. You know how many people get caught like that?
Starting point is 00:19:07 Yeah, because they're rookies. You know what's so crazy? It's a rookie mistake. You know what I'm saying? It's a rookie mistake. All you got to do is put your phone on do not disturb, bro. Man, Charlamagne, trust me, man. Trust me.
Starting point is 00:19:16 She caught me in the great state of South Carolina, too. And you know how they come. You got swung on? Man, listen. Swung on, spit on, all kind of stuff, man. Listen, guys, whenever you hand your woman your iPhone or your iPad, always put the phone on do not disturb. Come on, brothers.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Goodness gracious. All right. Now, what's the moral of the story? But don't old text messages still be on there? Why would she go through my... If I'm sitting by you, you're not going to go through my text messages. I'm sitting right there with you. She borrowed it.
Starting point is 00:19:41 The moral of the story is never cheat on someone that is good to you because karma is a bitch. Okay? There you you. She borrowed it.

That's 20 years ago.
Starting point is 00:23:32 I just talked about it. But that's part of your history, though. That's part of his history. Part of my history. Let me tell you what happened. Let me tell you what happened. Let me tell you what happened. Jam Master Jay put both of us on from New York, right?

He said he would beat you up like the white boy on MTV. And then you said I'd beat him in real life at the Salsa Wars. Real beef, you don't even know what real beef is.
Starting point is 00:24:33 You know what I'm saying? Because you have a job. So you don't know what real beef is. I mean, we all come from a certain place, though. We all come from a certain area. We all wasn't doing this before. We all was doing other things before this. I know what you was doing.

We should be talking about what's going in the future, not the past. It's not only the future. This is what I'm doing.
Starting point is 00:24:57 I'm bringing it up. What makes Onyx so great is y'all came from a place where we were there. But that's what it was, you know, right? But I think this is our first time having a sit down with Onyx. Exactly.

Why you want to do five minutes? If that's how you feel. Hey, come on, stop it. If we did five minutes, we would have been done already. Come on, you guys, stop it. That's enough. He said I ain't go to the gym yet. It's the Breakfast Club. It's on it. Eight years. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy
Starting point is 00:25:53 Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in the building, Vondie Carlo. Oh, my God. We here already? I'm so nervous. I am. You go on stage and perform. Is that your real name? We're here already. I'm so nervous. No, you're not. You're on the show. You go on stage and perform. I know.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Is that your real name? Von DeCarlo? Von DeCarlo. My mother names me after Lily Munster. My last name is Brown, though. I just don't use Brown. So Von DeCarlo Brown? Von DeCarlo Brown.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Von DeCarlo like a double first name. Okay. Now let's talk about some of your history. Okay. You have this book, Speak Fluent Man. Yes. Which has some very interesting, and I'm sure- You read it? We could debate about some of the things that are in this book, Speak Fluent Man. Yes. Which has some very interesting, and I'm sure. You read it?
Starting point is 00:26:26 We could debate about some of the things that are in this book. Speak Fluent Man. But the idea of this book, for you writing this book, was the words of Patrice O'Neill. So explain that. Yeah, honestly, it's not something that I like to talk about or debate about. It's there. It was a book that Patrice wanted me to write when he was here. So if you're familiar with Patrice O'Neal, he had a lot of different unique out-of-the-box philosophies on relationships. And he said, you get it.
Starting point is 00:26:53 You know, and women listen to you differently than they listen to me. So you should write a book. And at the time I was like, mm-mm. Because I know what it is. I know how people would respond to it. Receive it right. It would sound more harsh coming from him. So what would some of the things he would say?
Starting point is 00:27:08 What would some of the things he would say? If you read the book or if you look at the chapters, I had given him, he said, okay, to appease the situation, he was like, just tell me the top things that you learned in a relationship with me and going through all these different things. What are the top things that you would write about? So I gave him an outline and that became the chapters. So it's entitlement, double standards, you know, natural order things, jealousy, trust, sex, all of those things. All right.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Let me ask Envy a question. Oh, boy. Because this is a question that was posed in the book that Patrice O'Neal would pose. All right. And I want to see how he would answer this. And then you can tell him what Patrice had to say. Now he would ask, ladies, if you lost your pussy in an accident, how would you keep your man?
Starting point is 00:27:52 Now, how would you think people would respond to that, Envy? Wow, you're thinking hard. No, see, you've got to think because it could be a trick question. I didn't write the book, Envy. Because if I answer, she'll be like, Envy, you lost your pussy in an accident, so you've got to back that out first. Envy, you will never lose your answer. I'll let you answer and then I'll say yes.
Starting point is 00:28:08 You see where the setup was? I told you there's a setup coming. Well, you go ahead and answer. But I would use a setup question. I think most men would say their mouth, a woman's mouth. But for myself, I would think it's just more about being honest and loyal. In my relationship with my wife. So if your wife lost her, all she would have to do about being honest and loyal in my relationship with my wife. So if your wife lost her, all she would have to do is be honest and loyal and you'll be good.
Starting point is 00:28:29 My wife, yeah, my wife's honest and loyal now. So I'll be good regardless. Well, her doesn't make me stay. But, you know, it's not the focus of our relationship. That's going to sound crazy, right? But it's not the focus of our relationship. So you could be okay with never having sex again? If my wife lost
Starting point is 00:28:45 the ass, yes. He's like, no. No. Her mouth works, her hand works in honesty and loyalty. Honestly, it is. Her mouth, hands,
Starting point is 00:28:54 honesty and loyalty. It is absolutely a set up question and that was one of the things I would say to Patrice. You're setting up the audience. You're setting up women to fail
Starting point is 00:29:03 because people, he would pose that question and then they would yell out, my mouth, my booty, all these different things. And he would. I didn't think of the booty. You didn't think of the booty. That's interesting. Yes, he did.
Starting point is 00:29:16 But he would, he would pose that question and then they would yell different things out, women. And he would go, see ladies, ladies, you qualified yourself as a series of holes. You know, you didn't say Xbox, you didn't say all these, like, being cool, being loyal, being like a cool woman. But that's what he would do. Now talk about
Starting point is 00:29:36 how you guys met. Well, he said when he first met me, we met on a set of 25th Hour, Spike Lee's film. And he said that I had pretty girl syndrome. What's that? He basically was saying, you know, I had an attitude. And he was inviting everyone to come see him at Caroline's.
Starting point is 00:29:58 And he didn't invite me. And I was like, well, can I come? You know, I'm My best ghetto version of myself at the time and he was like I guess because I was with my roommate at the time he was like I guess she was going to bring you anyway. What an invitation. I would have wanted to go.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Well the thing is he had a charm about him that you either loved or hated him. There was really no in between. And he was basically saying to me, you have a lot of people telling you you're pretty, you're this, that, and a third, but no man.
Starting point is 00:30:35 He's like, I can tell you no man has ever taught you anything. You know? Damn. That was charm, but go ahead. It was, you know, I have a particular taste in men. But he was coming from a perspective of, I'm going to be your friend. I'm not going to try to sleep with you. That was game over.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Yeah. Everybody says that. At the time, I didn't see it. Hindsight, I'm like, I'm going to be the one guy to act like I don't want to be with you. And that's going to be the guy you like. I want to make the pretty girl my best friend. And just so you know, him ignoring you
Starting point is 00:31:07 was also a ploy for him to get to your attention. All of that. He got me. He definitely got you. It worked. But we didn't have sex for like almost
Starting point is 00:31:16 within the first year we had sex. But it was like eight, nine months. It was a long time. I can't even remember. But it was a good setup. He was like,
Starting point is 00:31:24 she's a keeper. He was marrying you. He was marrying you. Well, he tried. I can't even remember. But it was a good setup. It was a good setup. He was like, she's a keeper. He was marrying you. He was marrying you. Well, he tried. I mean, he died one month before our wedding date, actually. Wow. Yeah. Now, can you find love again?
Starting point is 00:31:34 Because obviously that was your soulmate. Well, everybody says that, you know, everyone thinks that I can't be with another person. I didn't say that. Or, you know, find love again, so to speak. But I don't believe that. I believe that lightning can strike twice, of course. And I deserve it. Patrice knew he wasn't going to be here a long time.
Starting point is 00:31:57 And I say the way you define love is when you prepare somebody to not be with you. And that's what he was doing the whole time we were together. How did Patrice pass for people that don't know? He had a stroke. He had a stroke. He had a stroke, and he passed away November 29, 2011. Wow, seven years ago. It feels like it was yesterday.
Starting point is 00:32:19 It does feel like it was yesterday. But, you know, I don't think that the man that's going to be my husband is going to be intimidated or feel like he'll live in some kind of shadow with me or with Patrice. Because he'll be strong enough on his own. And I'm sure Patrice would want you to be happy. Absolutely. And that's what I mean. He said to me, he is like, I'm not going to make a mess of you. Men make a mess of women. They hurt women.
Starting point is 00:32:48 And then he said no man should ever have to deal with the next man or the last man's mess. He is like, so the man that is going to be with you after me is going to want to shake my hand. All right, we got more with Vonda Carla. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Char back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:33:08 We are The Breakfast Club. Vonda Carlo is in the building. Yee? Now, let's talk about everything you have going on. Yeah, thank you. Please get that. Please get that. I was actually friends with Patrice also.
Starting point is 00:33:17 If you had the pleasure of knowing him, because I've had him on when I was on Serious. I had him on my show a few times, and he had always the funniest things to say, and we had a good time. I remember him and Nori were on together, and he was reading that book Skinny Bitch. Yes. To lose weight, and it was just the funniest thing that these men. Yeah, let me tell you what happened. They were reading Skinny Bitch to lose weight? He came home with that book.
Starting point is 00:33:37 He came home with that book, and we were vegan for three years after that. It changed his perception of food. And we were vegan. I think that was like, it had to be like 07. It has early vegan days. Or oh, I don't know. Did you stay vegan? No. No.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Since he's passed, I gained about 30 pounds. I've been eating some chicken and shrimp. And everything. Donuts, cake. I have definitely over eight. But, you know, I'm kind of lucky I'm one of those women. You look great. You know, when I complain about my weight, people don't care.
Starting point is 00:34:10 I have a bit about it. You know, I'm at Caroline's in January. Yeah, I've seen her at Caroline's. Yeah. And I was hosted for Donnell, but I'm going to be headlining there January 15th. Okay. And I have a bit where I talk about all the weight gain, but like nobody feels bad for me. Because the weight fell into a place like all the places that people find attractive.
Starting point is 00:34:31 But I can't breathe. So I'm like, this is not, no. Did you feel your calling was stand up before? Absolutely. Yeah. I moved here from small town USA, about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh in a town called Clareton, Pennsylvania. And when I was younger, I thought I was going to move to New York and be like Whoopi Goldberg with a splash of Diana Ross, you know?
Starting point is 00:34:52 So comedy was definitely always my first love. And my first time on stage was before Patrice and I were together. But I backed out of comedy. You know, I didn't even tell him I was doing stand-up when we met. Why did you back out of it? Well, you know, I was a jack-of-all-trades master of none. So I was doing comedy, and I didn't tell him at first. And then when I did tell him, I had done this open mic thing.
Starting point is 00:35:18 It was called Sal's Comedy Hole. And they would either put a stamp on your hand or a wristband that said you did comedy that night that you paid your drink or whatever. I left it on. And he was like, you know, meeting up with him at the cellar and stuff. That's how you wanted to tell him to leave it on? I knew he was going to see it. Yeah. Like, this is what I'm going to tell him tonight.
Starting point is 00:35:37 You know, and he saw it. And he goes, what's that? And I was like, oh, I was just doing a South comedy hole. And he pulled me away from the infamous comedy cellar table. He goes, you don't stand up. That's cool with me. Teach you anything you need to know. Rhythm, you know, jokes, whatever.
Starting point is 00:35:58 I got you. But the very second you look at me, it's like you see how these guys are pointing back at the table. And he's like, I don't know how long you've been doing it, but I'm assuming you know how audiences are. The very second you look at me and say, you're my man, why aren't you helping me? We're breaking up immediately. Damn. He's like, you take those bullets yourself, you'll be a great comic. That's good advice, though.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Damn. Because I think things like that definitely hurt relationships. I was like, I could do sketch and improv and at the time I was getting work on One Life to Live. I didn't know. I was doing other five words. They never contracted me. They gave me the five more
Starting point is 00:36:39 funky lines. But at the time, I thought I was Whoopi or Wayne Brady type where I could be in all these different lanes. What I didn't know at the time is I am not that unicorn. Like I have a lot of different talents, but my gift is stand up. Right. I produce his specials. Yeah, I produce his three comedy albums. PatriceO'Neal.com, his albums are up there. And I also produced the music for his Elephant in a Room special on Comedy Central.
Starting point is 00:37:13 I learned a lot from him, you know, and my daughter was really young at the time. So I was able, I say I put myself third for almost two decades basically. At the time you know I was trying to do so much and now I could focus just on me. Well your boyfriend have a problem now with you talking about Patrice so much and him asking you about it so much. Did that ever bother him at all?
Starting point is 00:37:38 I like how you did that because I never said I had a boyfriend. I was like wait I thought she just said she was only dating. I like how you did that. I like how you did that. And she will find love. I like how you did that. Whoever I date and whoever. Better not have a problem. He won't.
Starting point is 00:37:52 He won't. And actually, the person I am seeing now, I'll just say this. He can relate to that type of loss, which is a blessing. How did you meet Donnell? I was booked to work at, like you know everybody in comedy. Comedians know comedians. That's what I asked.
Starting point is 00:38:12 I love Darnell. Hi, Darnell. I love Darnell. I love working with Darnell. Oh my God. I learned so much from him. I saw it. I see it all.
Starting point is 00:38:20 All the time. We love Darnell. Look, so we know each other in passing. You know, he knows Patrice and the Chappelle show and all of that. But the first time we officially met and connected, Levity Live hired me to host at the club. And he was performing there. He was headlining.
Starting point is 00:38:40 And he had Marshall Brandon as his feature. And the club hired me to host. But when I came in a room, he just looks up and he had Marshall Brandon as his feature, and the club hired me to host. But when I came in a room, he just looks up and he goes, you a comic? And I was like, all right, we gonna do this. I get it, I get it. Because I have the shadow of Patrice over me. Yeah, that's a hazing right there.
Starting point is 00:38:58 You know, most comedians get on stage, they're judged for their work or lack thereof. For me, before I even open my mouth, I got 10,000 things ahead of me, starting with the Patrice thing, and then I'm a woman. I'm a black woman. I'm a voluptuous
Starting point is 00:39:16 woman. It's quote-unquote pretty. She can't possibly be funny. But here's the thing. I'm a comic, period. First, before and after. Gotcha. You know, I have substance in my material. I'm working towards being in the names of the greatest comedians.
Starting point is 00:39:34 I want to someday be in that list of when they say great comics, they mention my name. And not in association with Patrice O'Neal, but I stand on my own. My comedy stands on its own. All right. We got more with Vonda Carlo. When we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Good morning. Morning, everybody is DJ Envy. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the breakfast club. Vonda Carlo is in the building. I was going to ask you,
Starting point is 00:39:58 you know, every comedian comes up. I always ask, what was their best show? And what was their worst show? What was your worst show? I bombed so bad this one time. I did a check spot at Stand Up New York.
Starting point is 00:40:09 And at the time, a check spot is when the comedy. Similar. It's when the people that was drinking at the club. Pull you over. Are getting their checks. Okay. So they're not really fully paying attention to the comment. People are talking. People are looking at their checks.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Yeah. So I had a check spot at a time that I don't think I was probably skilled enough to do. Okay. I bombed so bad. I didn't go above 50th Street for six months. Damn.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Stand Up New York is in the Upper West Side. I was like, I can't even show my face. So what made it so bad? Like, people, did they boo, or were they just not paying? No, it was silence of the lambs. I was like, what's going on? And I just realized, you know what? I just had a bomb.
Starting point is 00:40:59 How'd you get out of it? You said, all right, God bless, good night. I left it and didn't come back for six months. I don't remember. I blacked out, and I think I just woke up from it a few minutes ago. You know what? The worst thing you could do, too, and I just saw this happen recently, is when you are bombing and, like, maybe one person boos,
Starting point is 00:41:15 I saw somebody just do this, and they were like, oh, are y'all booing me? And that was it. Oh. See, I've never been booed. See, I haven't been booed. I've never been booed. The person acknowledged the one boo. Yeah. And then set it on stage. I've been been booed. She said, I've never been booed. I've never been booed. The person acknowledged the one boo. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:26 And then set it on stage. I've been ignored, but not... What was the second time? You said twice. Oh, so the first, one of the first experiences I had when I finally, because it took a lot for me, especially after Patrice passed, to come back out into the comedy world as a comic. And I remember I was on BET. I did According to Him or Her. to come back out into the comedy world as a comic. And I remember I was on BET.
Starting point is 00:41:48 I did According to Him or Her. I did two seasons of it. Tiffany Haddish was on it. Like, they picked four comedians from New York, and I was one of them. And they did, we did two seasons. It was a talking head comedy show. And they did a live from the improv featuring the comedians of According to Him and Her.
Starting point is 00:42:08 And I was so hurt in my soul that I hadn't been doing stand-up, so I wasn't even prepared to be considered on this show. And I remember I talked to Tiffany, but I talked to every, I was like, I can't believe that I'm not walking in my purpose. I can't believe I'm not doing this. It was killing me. And the first time I went out and I said, okay, I'm going in and I'm not going to stop from this point on. The comedian, I'm not going to say who, I did not know he knew who I was. And he's like, we got a special guest. So I'm looking around like,
Starting point is 00:42:47 I thought I was next. Like, yeah. I was like, who came in? I was like, oh, shoot. They didn't even tell me. I was bummed. We have a special guest coming to the stage. The late, great Patrisse O'Neal's widow,
Starting point is 00:42:59 Von DiCarlo. And I was like. What an introduction. It was the, I felt like I was walking towards the stage in slow motion. And I told myself as I was on DiCarlo and I was like. What an introduction. It was the, I felt like I was walking towards the stage of slow motion. And I told myself as I was walking, I said, this is what it is. It's up to you. You got 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Wipe it clean. So I was like. But he didn't mean to be harmed by it. It wasn't malicious. That's why I'm not going to say his name. I know it wasn't malicious. You know, but he was, you know, inexperienced. And I got up there and I did not bomb I had them the whole time with my stuff I don't know if I'm gonna say I smashed
Starting point is 00:43:34 it but I smashed it I smashed it and I was very proud of myself and that was the moment where I said I could do this and this is gonna be my challenge and it's okay because eventually I put in the work. People see my comedy for me separate from what I am to Patrice's legacy and my responsibility to his legacy. I keep it as separate as possible, you know, and that's that's my that's one of the many challenges that I have to face. And it's it's getting easier and easier and easier and easier. The more work you do, the more people respect you for your stuff, and they see what I'm doing. Is anything off limits to you?
Starting point is 00:44:13 There was this one comic I saw her perform like years ago, and she has a joke about getting raped. Now, do you think there are certain things that it's just impossible for it to be funny? Off limits? No, no. I think you have to be responsible with your words and you have to be truthful and honest. And if you're coming from a place where this is my experience, this is what I'm pulling funny out of, I think it's fine. Sometimes people are doing things just to be shocking. But for me personally,
Starting point is 00:44:48 if you're doing something just for the laugh and just to be shocking, that's disingenuous. You know, it's not real. And people can feel that and sense that. People can feel that, they can sense it, and hey, they might like it. But that's not, everybody's not for everybody.
Starting point is 00:45:04 That's not the audience that I'm trying to find. And that's one of the great things about getting back to bombing. Sometimes you're not, there's bombing and then there's this crowd just ain't for me. This ain't my crowd. I did a club in Long Island, which is in this area was very Trump nation. But they told me, they were like, oh, you're so funny, but you maybe ease back on the Trump stuff. I said, no, I'm going to do what I'm going to do. And they can either deal with it or not.
Starting point is 00:45:36 And this one lady, I'll never forget because I have a, you know, I was doing the, you know, I'm half white, half black, which is just a fancy way of saying I'm black. This woman with like a chip, no tooth was like, so it's the white part that makes you fancy, huh? Girl, I was like, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Okay. Is this where, okay. Damn. You said she had a chip, no tooth.
Starting point is 00:46:00 I was like, if the fancy obviously passed you up. Right. It skipped a generation with you. I'd be like, I'll be like, yeah. I know you don't think your whiteness. Okay. All right. Fine.
Starting point is 00:46:12 But again, I'm going to find, I'm going to do everything that I'm going to do. And my audience is going to come to me, hopefully on January 15th at Caroline's on Broadway. We'll make sure. Please. January 15th. And we appreciate you for joining us. Thank you so much. I'm glad you finally made it up. Thank you for having me. Oh my god, it was so fun. It's Von DeCarlo.
Starting point is 00:46:30 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day, ask Charlamagne. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mix up. So like a donkey. Keyhole. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club,
Starting point is 00:46:48 bitches. Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. Alright, listen man, Charlemagne the God here. I'm on vacation. I don't give a damn what y'all think about that because I deserve it. Now, the Breakfast Club is in 80 plus markets in 150 countries, so we have a lot of new listeners who probably don't even
Starting point is 00:47:03 know who Charlemagne thea God is. So use my time off to catch up on some of my past work. Okay? Okay. If you're new here, I do a segment every day called Donkey of the Day. Donkey as in jackass. And that's when I give someone the credit they deserve for being stupid. So if you never heard of it, this is new to you. But if you
Starting point is 00:47:19 are a regular listener, then this is an oldie but goodie because it's the best of the Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the day goes to Ebony Cooper, 28, and Leah Presley, 26, of Savannah, Georgia. I love Savannah. Beautiful city. With a lot of young entrepreneurs. And that's what Ebony and Leah are. Two local entrepreneurs who
Starting point is 00:47:35 were at an event for local entrepreneurship. This is the beautiful thing about community. When you are living in a eco, a thriving ecosystem where the schools, the churches, local businesses are all working together to get the best out of people in that community, everyone wins. And this is a great example. See, a local church in Savannah was hosting an event for local entrepreneurs, and Ebony and Leah, being the young go-getters that they are, decided they wanted in. See, Leah and Ebony have a product, ladies and gentlemen, and they sell that product. And I guess it's working for them.
Starting point is 00:48:05 So once they heard the news about the church throwing this event, they decided this is where they needed to be to expand their business. You got to respect that, right? So Ebony and Leah started running ads on social media telling people, come one, come all, pull up to the church and buy what it is we are selling. I repeat, Leah and Ebony started advertising their product on social media telling people we gonna be at the church on such and such date selling what we got now the problem lies in what ebony and leah was selling let's go to the news now for the report please savannah chatham counter narcotics team said 28 year old ebony cooper was openly selling marijuana and thC edibles on church property. Law enforcement discovered it via a social media search where it was being advertised.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Well, okay, so the church itself didn't know. An outside vendor actually hosted an entrepreneur event at the church property, and that's where the edibles were being sold. Cooper and a friend named Leah Presley went off-site after agents made an undercover buy of the edibles and searched their vehicle. That's where they found even more marijuana edibles, more than $1,000 in cash, and a loaded gun. They also believe that she had the loaded gun on her on the church property when she was selling those marijuana edibles. The women involved both face felony drug charges. I've conceded America to the stupid people. It's over for anyone with a lick of common sense.
Starting point is 00:49:32 If you deal with logic and facts in any way, shape, or form, you are not a stupid one in this country. Leah and Ebony decided to sell edibles at the church. Okay, various types of THC-filled treats, cereal, brownies, puddings, you name it, they got it. And they decided to advertise that they were selling it at the church via social media. They had a THC filled testimony to tell. Okay, I know right now they sitting in jail wondering who snitched on them. They probably think it was Sister Jenkins or Sister Jefferson.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Okay, both of them were just on the sick and shut in list because Jenkins' sugar was too high and Sister Jefferson had gout in her heel. But they finally home, and they always chastised in Leah and Ebony. So Leah and Ebony think that Sister Jefferson and Sister Jenkins dropped a dime on them when the reality is they told the FBI what was going on themselves. And by FBI, I mean Facebook and Instagram. Okay, I love so much about this story, though. All right, the fact that they pulled up to a church event with a loaded pistol. You heard her say Ebony Cooper had the pistol on her while she was manning the booth.
Starting point is 00:50:31 They was treating this booth at this church event like it was the bando for real. And I get it. Okay, Deacon McNeil got a nephew that just came home from doing a year for child support, and he be stealing out the collection plate. So you can't take no chances with him. All right, two young women selling edibles on church grounds got to be protected. Ephesians 6, verses 10 through 18 tells you about the whole armor of God and how the whole armor of God protects you,
Starting point is 00:50:56 but that don't apply to people who sell edibles on church grounds. Sometimes that breastplate of righteousness isn't enough, and I need that pistol to protect me from Deacon McNeil's nephew. Okay? Leah and Ebony are now facing felony drug charges and are in the Chatham County Jail. However, agents say they do not believe Presley participated in the edible sales that occurred on the church property. And CTN agents say Cooper was actively advertising the illegal big goods on various social media sites herself. Sounds to me like Ebony Cooper is getting blamed for everything.
Starting point is 00:51:27 She had the pistol on her. She was the one advertising on social media. Presley didn't participate. Two people get arrested for the same charges, but one gets blamed for everything. You know, this morning I decided to Google what the Bible says about snitching. All right. The Bible recommends first that we do not enter into confidences with evil people. 1 Corinthians 15, 33, Psalm 1, 1, Proverbs 13, 20, any of those chapters tell you that. Spending time with people who do illegal things will eventually result in participation
Starting point is 00:51:55 in those illegal activities, or at the very least, companionship that expects loyalty, okay? This is a dangerous situation, all right? A former criminal accomplice who comes clean to the authorities will get labeled a snitch and will be in jeopardy. So it's better not to go down that road at all, all right? You have to think about these kinds of things when you decide to advertise your drug selling on social media and then go set up a band or at the church for you and your friend to make some money. I'm not saying Leah is snitching on Ebony. I'm just saying in the book of Jeezy, chapter 101, verse 14, it says if you get manned up, if you get jammed up, alright, don't mention my name. Okay? Please give Leah Presley
Starting point is 00:52:29 and Ebony Cooper the biggest hee-haw. That's all I'm saying. Okay? Well, alright. So you don't think people in church smoke weed? Of course they smoke weed. Ain't nothing wrong with them selling the edibles at church, but don't advertise it on social media.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Oh, so you're giving a donkey for, okay, advertise it on social media. Don't advertise it on social media. Because I thought it was pretty great. And we don't know. People in church, it's a large congregation. You get large people. You can just sell your issue. And can you trust them not to sell it to kids?
Starting point is 00:52:59 Kids running up, they want some brownies. They want some pudding. They want some Rice Krispies treats. They don't know that there's weed in it. Can you trust these two people not to sell it to kids? No, little man, this is for adultsies. They want some pudding. They want some Rice Krispies treats. They don't know that there's weed in it. Can you trust these two people not to sell it to kids? No, little man. This is for adults only. This is adult cookies. All I'm saying is don't advertise
Starting point is 00:53:12 it via social media. Everything else, I completely agree with. Alright, well, thank you for that donkey. Including bringing a pistol to church. You don't know, man. People are like, ever since Dylann Roof, I've got anxiety. PTSD. I need to have my gun with me in church. The Breakfast Club.

They ain't got to worry about that. Now let's get back to your question. I'm talking about Kiki. I'm talking about her mom.? She's grown and she's evolved. They ain't got to worry about that. Now, let's get back to your fortune. I'm talking about Kiki. I'm talking about her mom. Her mom's grown and evolved.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Her mom's grown and evolved. Now, let's talk about your fortune cookie. Why is the album called Fortune Cookie? That just sounded so crazy, but go ahead. Why is the album called Fortune? That sounded crazy? Yes, why is it called Fortune Cookie? I mean, because the cookie's worth the fortune. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:58:20 First and foremost. Mom, I'm about to have a heart attack. Hey, Mom. No, no, no. Just because, you know, when people get fortune cookies, like everybody, we all could be here. We all get a different message in the fortune cookie. In bed. Lip service.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Lip service. You did lip service? Don't catch that. Yes. Recently? Insane. Oh, my goodness. Mama, you let her do lip service?
Starting point is 00:58:38 Yo, yo, but I didn't. They were talking about fortune cookies? Oh, my God. She even had a drink, y'all. You had a drink? Yes. You drink now? You old enough to drink? Bree! Oh, my God. What the had a drink, y'all. You had a drink? Yes. You drink now? You old enough to drink, Bri?

Starting point is 00:59:00 And I feel like when people press play on fortune cookie, like, they all going to get a different message depending on where they at in their life. They're going to take something away from it, though. So it was just like fortune cookie. You ain't got a boyfriend, do you? That's just how I felt. What do you mean? She got somebody she be talking about on Instagram. Oh.
Starting point is 00:59:11 I don't know. I've been watching your last few videos. You be saying something like, the boo got a, I can't eat too much boo. Don't like when I get fat. Oh, yeah. I don't get the why when I gain weight. You don't get the why? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:21 I don't get the why when I gain weight. That's not me. That's not me. That's Cha-Cha. Oh, okay, okay, okay. That's not me. That's Cha-Cha. Oh, okay, okay, okay. That's not me. So Brie is single. Cha-Cha got multiple men on deck.
Starting point is 00:59:29 I think Cha-Cha pretty locked in, though, but she locked in with a big deal. I'm confused, bud. It's Brie. Brie's single. Brie better not no man, right? You single, right? Just music. I don't want to bring that heat to nobody.
Starting point is 00:59:40 All right. I don't want that pressure. I don't want that pressure. Now, you have a song called Anita Baker. Yeah. That's hard. Yeah, talk to us about it. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:59:48 It's hard because of the wordplay. I don't want to give it away, but when I was riding to it, I was like, oh, all right. Okay. And then, you know what's crazy? I recorded Anita Baker in Miami, and then we went out to L.A. for the BET Awards, and then they honored Anita Baker, and then we all was in the room. We just looked at each other like, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:08 But no, Anita Baker is just me just talking that talk, and I love Anita Baker. What about scammers? Florida. That's definitely Florida. Shout out to Gunna. He's really dope. Do I know a lot of scammers?
Starting point is 01:00:22 Kiki used to be. No, I'm just playing. Don't call her mama no scammer. I love them. It's like I get money, but I still f***ing scammer. So it's just like, you know, everybody out here hustling. People doing it corporately. Support black-owned businesses.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Support black-owned businesses. But you came up around that your whole life, though, as far as like black-owned... No, I'm not an entrepreneur. I mean, scamming, too. I'm not an entrepreneur. You mean, scamming, too. I'm talking about entrepreneurship. You came up around that. You was born into scamming. You was born into scamming.
Starting point is 01:00:49 You came up around that. Yeesh. I'm talking about entrepreneurship. Yeah, yeah. I'll be around people who, you know, they hustle, they get their money. How did the song with Offset come about? Monkey Business. Can we play that today, too?
Starting point is 01:01:00 Yes. I think that should be the single. I ain't going to talk too much about it, but it happened. Go listen to it. Introduce your joint. Yes, yes, yes, it's your girl Breonna Perry, BP. Offset, I need you to turn your radios all the way up. This that monkey business
Starting point is 01:01:11 fortune cookie. Let's go. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Breonna Perry is still here. Charlamagne? Yes. How did you balance school and rapping, though? Because a lot of times you talk to these kids, they feel like they got to do one or the other. It was not the easiest thing.
Starting point is 01:01:27 I won't sit up here in front like it was. It was stressful. College was way harder than high school. Of course, I had just got signed. I started moving around a lot. But I'm the type of person, like, I'm a finisher. I like to finish things that I start. And I didn't want to get there because it's like I always want,
Starting point is 01:01:43 that was my dream school since I was eight years old. So it was like, yo, it's important to me. I was eight years old so I was like yo it's important to me but then I'm like damn like I started this it was I gotta finish it period. What made you want to get a degree though? Because some people just give it all a rap like I'm gonna focus all my energy in the rap like I can do nothing else No I just took it as it's like yo I'm
Starting point is 01:01:57 getting game that I need this for what I do like honestly I wasn't going to class because it's like I'm about to go work a regular nine to five when I'm in my you know my business law class and I was like no I need this for what to class because it's like I'm about to go work a regular 9-to-5 when I'm in my business law class. I was like, no, I need this for what I do because it's a lot of snakes. It's a lot of people being the game and they end broke. Yeah. How did they
Starting point is 01:02:14 treat you in school since you were rapping? It was kind of crazy. Sometimes I went into a class. I think I went into a marketing class and the teacher had structured the whole lecture around me. It was like a surprise. It was just like, oh, and one of our students... I ain't gonna tell you how to mark it.
Starting point is 01:02:29 You lived it. Yeah. It's like, oh, she started pulling up all my YouTubes and like, it was a lot of foreign people in my class. It was dope. It was like, oh, we didn't even know because I didn't just go to school. Like, yeah, you know, check me out. And then like when Beyonce posted up the Marilyn Monroe and it just started bringing a lot of attention but they were real supportive though it was real
Starting point is 01:02:48 cool did you pass the lesson that at least was centered around you what did you what was your grade on that lesson I ain't gonna lie I had gotta be a B for Brianna. How? B for Brianna. It was hard, Charlamagne. It was about to, but it was hard. It was hard. It was hard. It was hard. Shout out to UM. What does Brianna want from music?
Starting point is 01:03:12 What would be considered a success to you? When people just, they relate to the music, and they feel like, yo, I don't hear, like, I'm that girl, and I don't hear that. My voice is not heard, like I said, with other artists. Just to represent the people who don't got no voice. Absolutely. Because I feel like in female rap, it's easy for a lot of women to not have a voice.
Starting point is 01:03:31 You know what I mean? Or have one voice. Oh, yeah. You mean to be talking about one thing all the time. Yeah, like you in the club and you saying stuff. The song going off, you rapping with it, but it's like, damn, that ain't really me. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:03:43 I feel like that happens a lot. I love the fact that you got your degree. Most people who start rapping or go into entrepreneurial stuff don't think they need their degree.

Let me not speak too much on that because then you get with somebody, they pull up your breakfast club interview, they be like, damn, you said the first time you didn't get a pass. You said the first time I didn't get a pass. It depends on a lot of things. Who did you cheat with? How did I find out?
Starting point is 01:07:36 How disrespectful was it? There's a lot of things that could happen. You can't just say, if you cheat, would you stay with somebody? I'll give them a pass. It depends on a lot of things. If you love somebody, you let you cheat would you stay with somebody I'll give him a pass it depends on Yeah, I think you love somebody you let him cheat on you like what you see Think so crazy If you see what's your best friend you don't get a pass for that oh they both cancel right they're both and best friend

Starting point is 01:08:42 That's not what life is about. I'm not going to glorify. I'm not going to glorify the side. I'm not going to glorify the side cheek. And I like the record. It's just a little misleading because sometimes I might just be tired. When you're just like staying out late, that mean you're cheating? No, that don't mean I'm cheating just because I'm staying out late. Yes, why you staying out late?
Starting point is 01:08:56 I might be working all day. Come get me. We going to work together. FaceTime me. FaceTime me. FaceTime me. Let me see. We working. I'm with you. We in the gym together. What's up? FaceTime me. FaceTime me. FaceTime me. Let me see. We working.
Starting point is 01:09:05 I'm with you. We in the gym together. What's up? FaceTime me. Okay. Well, Fortune Cookie is out right now. Tell them to follow you and all that stuff. They can definitely follow me on Instagram, at Breonna Perry.
Starting point is 01:09:15 Hit me on the Twitter, at Breonna the YRB. Fortune Cookie available everywhere right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We're celebrating the Breakfast Club's eight-year anniversary. Check out this moment. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:09:31 We got two special ladies in the building this morning. Two surprise guests, because we had no idea they were coming. But this is a great guest. Great guest. One is Brandi. Hi. And the other is Miss, she will F you up in a minute, Monica. Monica, yes.
Starting point is 01:09:44 We were talking about this behind the scenes. Welcome, ladies. Now, listen, it's been 15 years. Things have changed. And I've seen Monica threaten to delete her Twitter account before. And I've seen them coming at you crazy on Twitter and stuff like that. How do y'all deal with the new social media wave that's out now? I had to realize, too, that some things just don't need a response.
Starting point is 01:10:04 Absolutely. Because the truth don't need support. It is what it is. So I had to accept the fact that it's not like it used to be where you have real journalism and people that cared enough to try to reach your people and see if something was true before they talked about it or responded to it or put it all over the world. People want a reaction. Exactly. And it's unfortunate that you have people at home that don't realize that this is just another way to make money off them. When you log on, you click, you entertain,
Starting point is 01:10:29 you correspond. This just puts money in somebody's pocket. It doesn't bring you any closer to the artist because most of the stuff is not even true. So it's something that takes some adapting to. What about when it's an old issue that's true? Like, you know, Brandy, you had the incident where you had the car wreck.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Somebody unfortunately died. Right. You know, people like to bring stuff up like that on Twitter, call you a murderer. Yeah, those things hurt. Like, I can't sit here and say that I'm not affected by things like that because I am. You seem very sensitive. Like, you seem like you read the Twitter and just start breaking down. No, no, no, I don't break down.
Starting point is 01:11:04 Like, don't take my, you know my humbleness for weakness at all. I am a very sensitive person, and I just feel like when people's intentions are bad and when they go to a place to try to hurt you, that was a very unfortunate situation that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. So when people take those moments to just, you know, send me pictures of car crashes or. Yeah, that's foul. Yeah, that's a little bit out of line.
Starting point is 01:11:29 Or say things with evil intent that it's like, I think to myself, where do, how do people go to that place? Because it's hard for me to, I don't even know if I have that place inside of me to try to hurt somebody else. You know, we all say things we don't mean, but the places that people go are just... It's unreal. And I can't really figure out what the reasoning is.
Starting point is 01:11:51 I don't do that thing. And I understand that they're miserable, but still it's... The law of energy is that energy is never lost or destroyed, just transferred from one party to the next. So if they see you tweet something positive, like you might be in Bora Bora somewhere, all they want to do is tweet you and say murderer,
Starting point is 01:12:08 just to mess your day up. Yeah, but it... It does. It does at times. It does, but, you know, it's been a while. So I've gotten a little bit stronger in that area when people try to go to that place. But, you know, for the most part, I use Twitter to socialize with the people that
Starting point is 01:12:25 do love me and that do support me and you know i have this this thing on my page called brandoms and they're like random brandy thoughts and i just tweet positive things to to i'll tell you what my dad told me my dad is from the country you know that already but he tells me like these crazy he'll call me and he'll tell me like some great sayings to keep with you that are just like very very i mean they're they're broken down so perfectly he told me he said um maggots can't live unless they're feeding off something don't let them feed off you right you know so he'll call me with little things like that that remind me. It's not to say that people are maggots, but negative
Starting point is 01:13:08 things because we know, you know, it's just that if you feed it, it just seems to fester and grow. So I just stop feeding things, you know, because in order to live. You should tweet stuff like that sometimes. Oh, she does. She does that all the time. Brandy should tweet I'm with the money team right now.
Starting point is 01:13:23 Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Eight years. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Brought to you by Aquaman.
