The Breakfast Club - We Broke Up... Or Not

Episode Date: May 6, 2019

Today on the show it was reported that Joe Budden opened up on his live podcast about him and Cyn Santana's relationship, and how he is uncertain if they broke up or not because they did not have that discussion, despite not speaking in 3 weeks. So we opened up the phone lines to see if the discussion needs to be had before the couple goes their separate ways. Also, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to the "Game of Thrones" production team after they left a Starbucks coffee in one of their scenes. Moreover, sports journalist Taylor Rooks stopped by where she spoke on her relationship status, Lebron James career and more.

Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, yo. Angelie's out. Charlamagne was popping. Peace to the planet. It's Monday. Yes, it's Monday. Back to the work week.

That's right. And salute to all the Trump supporters who celebrated Cinco de Mayo yesterday. Everyone who wants the wall built but loves tequila and tacos too. Happy Monday to your confused asses. My goodness. All right. How are you? Well, happy Monday.

Angelie is out. She is celebrating in the DR. Allegedly. Allegedly. It's a friend of ours birthday, Natina. Happy birthday, Natina. Happy birthday, Natina. So they went out there to celebrate, allegedly. Allegedly. But what usually happens in the DR? What do people usually go to the DR for?

They get surgery. Surgery. Yeah, so if you come back, body looking a little different. You know what I'm saying? Everybody don't say anything. We'll just talk amongst ourselves. All right? But just know she was in the DR. I had to get the surgery for the low.

Okay. That's all we need to know. Just putting it out there. You know, today is International No Diet Day. That makes no sense. Shouldn't yesterday have been International No Diet Day? Yeah. Because everybody was eating tacos.

Pretty much. And chasing dillias and burritos and drinking tequila. Shouldn't yesterday have been international no diet day? Yeah, pretty much. Why would today be international no diet day?

I have no idea. You're not going to do two days in a row of bad eating and drinking if that's what you did yesterday. I would think not. Unless you're an alcoholic like our cameraman Steve.

He wasn't supposed to put that out there. Oh, I'm sorry. He only had 36 beers this weekend. We was just having this conversation behind the scenes. Yeah. He said he's going to stop drinking today. He said he's going to stop today. That, I'm sorry. He only had 36 beers this weekend. We was just having this conversation behind the scenes.

Yeah. He said he's going to stop drinking today. He said he was going to stop today. That's what he said. He did. He did say that.

And he asked him if he had a problem. He said, eh. That's how he started it off. So, you know, the first sign of having a real problem is denial.

Denial. He didn't deny. Okay. Yes. All right. Yes. Well, you know what? Shout to all the dads

that take your kids bowling. Bowling gives me so much anxiety when I take my kids. I'm scared they're going to drop the ball. They're going to throw the ball. But I took them out and had a great time. Of course, I was the best, but that's just me. They don't have the kids' balls? It's a six-pound ball.

Yeah, they got the small balls. A six-pound ball is still heavy. No, okay. How old are your kids? Are you talking about with the little, little kids? Yeah, 5' the small balls. That's what? A six-pound ball is still heavy. No, okay. All right. How old are your kids? What are you talking about? With the little, little kids? Yeah.

Five, four, two. I thought it was an age limit for bowling. No, there's no age limit in bowling. They give you the little thing that you just like a, what is it called? Like a little hill thing that you can put the ball down the little ramp and it goes down and they pull the bumpers out. I never heard of such thing. That was it.

And there it goes. Yeah. That's my little baby girl right there bowling. And Game of Thrones this Sunday. I think we got two episodes left. Drop a bomb. Round of applause. Next week's going to be another crazy week.

I'm excited about this. I'm mad I ain't got nobody to talk to in this room about it. Why you say next week? Last night wasn't good? Last night was good, but it set up for another huge battle. I don't watch Game of Thrones. I'm in the 1% when it comes to people who don't watch Game of Thrones. Okay. I'm almost caught up on The Chi, though.

What brought you up on The Chi? Where you at? I missed the last two episodes, but I watched them last night, but I didn't see last night's episode. Okay. Yes. All right, well, Taylor Rooks will be joining us this morning. Taylor Rooks. If you don't know who Taylor Rooks is, she's a sports commentator.

She works for Bleacher Report. Bleacher Report. Bleacher Report. Yes. What's the name of her show? Take It There? Take It There with Taylor Rooks, I believe? Yeah, that's the name of the show.

Don't get me to lie. I just know that every man I know thinks Taylor Rooks is extremely attractive. All right. Well, we'll kick it with Taylor Rooks. Let's get it popping. Front page news is coming up. We'll tell you about an Amber Alert issued out in Houston and a girl passing away in a Queens car fire. They believe her dad left her.

We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel.

I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.

And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,

learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going, this increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.

I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, last night, the Raptors beat the 76ers 101-96. The series

is tied 2-2. Yep. And the Nuggets the 76ers 1-1-96. The series is tied 2-2. Yep. And the Nuggets beat Portland 1-16, 1-12. That series is also tied 2-2. Yeah, they had a hell of a game the other night, too, and it went 3-0 overtime. Yeah, dribble overtime. But Damian Lewis...

No, quadruple overtime, actually. Damian Lewis is still not better than Russell Westbrook, though. Okay. I know that, you know, y'all... I saw Skip Bayless having that debate on... What's that show on... Undisputed? Is? Undisputed? Is that Undisputed?

Yeah, with Shannon Sharp. I saw him saying that Demian Lillard was better than Russell Wood. I don't think so. No way, man. I don't think so. Russell Wood's been averaging a triple-double the last three seasons. Is he more of a winner? It looks like it at this point.

Right now, yes. Okay, right now. I don't think he's a better player now. Now, Tyson Chicken. Almost 12 million pounds of the chicken strips have been recalled. Why? Because they believe they might have some metal in them. Metal?

Metal, that's right. The hell are they feeding these birds? I have no clue. But they say products under the recall include Tyson fully cooked crispy chicken strips, the buffalo style chicken strips, the fully cooked honey barbecue flavored chicken strips, the best choice buffalo style chicken strips, great value fullystyle chicken strips, the fully-cooked honey barbecue-flavored chicken strips, the best-choice Buffalo-style chicken strips, great-value fully-cooked chicken strips, and the Food Lion crispy chicken strips.

Y'all going too far with this goddamn artificial chicken now. All right, artificial chicken, y'all don't got to make it out of metal. Now they're trying to take the steps to get this chicken back and figure out what had happened. I wonder how they get metal in the chicken. I don't know. Is it metal? Metal. Like metal, metal? Like in the chicken. I don't know. Is it metal? Metal.

Like metal, metal? Like steel? Like metal, metal. Wow. All right, now also, there's an Amber Alert out in Houston. A five-year-old girl, they believe she was abducted by three men.

They're asking anybody with any information, please let them know. I'll tell you the car right now. Let me see, let me see, let me see, let me see. Nope, there is no car alert. Usually they have the car and tell you the car right now. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Nope, there is no car alert. Usually they have the car and tell you what type of car. They just tell you the girl is three feet tall. She weighs 30 to 40 pounds.

She was last seen wearing a light blue underarmor jacket, blue jeans, and gray underarmor tennis shoes with pink and white colors on them. They said police said the man who reportedly abducted her drove a blue crew cab Chevrolet pickup truck, possibly a 2010 model. So if you have any information, please give the police a call. I'll give you the number 713-308-3600. Everybody that listens to us in Houston, again, 713-308-3600. I hate people who harm kids, yo. I hate people who kidnap kids.

I hate people who molest kids. People like that just should be sent away. Once you find them, you just make them disappear. They don't snap their ass away out of existence. I am with you. And lastly, out in Queens, New York, a three-year-old girl was killed in a car fire in Queens. They believe the car caught on fire.

The father was driving. The father ran out the car, allegedly, and I guess he was on fire. And they found him about a mile down. They believe he jumped in a pond to get the gasoline off of him and left his three-year-old daughter in the backseat. Yes. Three-year-old daughter passed away.

And that is your front page news. You trying to give me an anxiety attack this morning, bro? You can find not one good story. Nothing good happened this weekend. Just a bunch of kids getting abducted and a bunch of kids getting burnt. And some chicken being recalled. Because there's metal in the chicken. That's right.

There was a good robot chicken joke in there. I couldn't find it. Couldn't find it. All right. It's early. That's front page news. Let me drink my goddamn ginger tea and I'll be back. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a horrible weekend or a horrible night. Or maybe you just want to spread some positivity this morning. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Say it, say it with your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, y'all. Good morning.

Good morning. Hey, it's me, Salem, by the way. Hey, Salem. Hey, Salem. Hi, y'all. Hey, Envy, I wanted to say thank you because I just started, I just enlisted to go to the seminar class for real estate next week. And I'm excited. In Jersey?

I wanted to say thank you. No, in Dallas. Oh, you're going to, I'm not doing one in Dallas. What you doing, ma? Not you. I just want to say thank you because you're always talking about it. Oh, oh, oh. I thought you was going to mine.

Oh, you're going to a seminar. No, yeah, I'm just going to one. Yeah. Good, good, good. I wanted to say thank you because I know you're always talking about it. Get as much knowledge as you can. I love it. Huh? I love it. So, I mean, okay, I'm just going to one. Yeah. Good, good, good. Thank you. I know you're always talking about it. Get as much knowledge as you can. Uh-huh. So, I mean, okay, I just started going to therapy

or whatever, and my issue is that I walked out three times so far on the therapist lady because I feel like they can't relate to me. And my question is to you, like, how did you like, find out who you can talk to and relate to? Well, I was lucky because, you know because the therapist that I first sat down with,

she was good for me. But a lot of people go through that. A lot of people sit down with therapists, and they feel like them and their therapist don't mesh. And I don't think that's a reason to stop going to therapy. I just think you got to find somebody who you're compatible with. No, and I haven't stopped, but I just walked out each time because I just feel like she doesn't relate to me or none of them

relate to me. And I just know it kind of made me feel like I want to give up. No, no. And I'm going to tell you something else. My therapist doesn't relate to me either, but I just like the fact that she listens. Sometimes that's what you need, somebody just to sit there and listen. I think we go to therapy and we

think that we're going to get a whole bunch of answers. Sometimes we just need to get things off our chest. All right, well, thank you, Salem. Good luck. Brant. Hey, good morning, guys. What's up, Brant? Get it off your chest, bro.

I just want to say, man, I listen to you guys every morning on the way to work. I appreciate you guys. You guys are a good inspiration on my life. And just like the show, I enjoy you guys a lot. Thank you.

All right, bro. Hello, who's this? This is Lamar. Lamar, what up, man? Get it off your chest. Yeah, I just wanted to bring awareness to what's going on in the Bronx, man.

They're trying to bring a man's shelter down on Westchester Ave next to two schools and a library. It's not cool. They said they could do it without public approval, and it matters to me because my daughter literally lives one building away from that place

that they're trying to bring this man shelter at. A man shelter? Yeah, with low-level sex offenders. Oh, so you ain't say that. Now, that's a dud. Yeah. I was like, what's wrong with a man shelter? But no, that makes perfect sense.

But that don't sound like it's legal. They definitely said they could do it without public approval. They were supposed to bring it to Throsnick, but but Thrasnek said they don't want them, so they just dumped them right here on Westchester Avenue, 2008 Westchester Avenue is the address. And it's not cool. They're saying they can do whatever they want, and they're bringing, like, sex offenders next to a school. Yeah, that sounds crazy. Yeah, I thought sex offenders had to stay away from schools and all that kind of stuff like that.

I thought so, too. Schools and churches, I believe. Hello, who's this? Rochelle. Hey, Rochelle. Get it off your chest. Yeah, I just want to know why is it okay for males

to say what they want to say about a female and then when the female goes to say what they say in the same vice versa in the same situation? What are you talking about? Give us an example.

First of all, you calling from Charleston, South Carolina, aren't you, baby? No, I'm not. New Orleans. No, I'm not. Try one more. Houston.

Where you calling from? I'm calling from South Carolina, but no, I'm not. What part of South Carolina? I sound like it, huh? Yes, I'm from the low country too. I know my Geechee people when I hear them. Where you calling from? I'm not the low country, too. I know my Geechee people when I hear them.

Where you calling from? I'm not Geechee. Oh, okay. What are you talking about? What can't you say that other men can say? What can I say? Never mind. You have a great morning, mama.

Don't hang up on her quite yet. You got to be patient with my people. Why is it okay for men to say what they want to say? What do you want to say? About any situation. Like what? What do you want to say, mama? Any situation. Well, that's not true, baby.

It's been a double standard for years, but I don't know if you realize men have definitely been held accountable for the things that they've said and the things that they've done. Trust me, I know. Okay? You ever read some of my old tweets? Heard some of my old commentary on the radio? Ma'am?

Yeah? Do you want to say something? Huh? Do you want to say anything? Shout to South Carolina. All right, Ma, you have a great day. All righty. Okay.

All right. All right, that's home, huh? That is my family. Okay. All right. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset and you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.

Now, Kim Kardashian, she's done it again. We'll tell you what she did. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. All right. Okay.

Happy Monday. What's happening? All right. Morning. Happy Monday. What's happening? All right. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Angela Yee is out. Yeah, I want to sound bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for you, but it's Monday.

Come on, man. It is. I feel the same way y'all feel out there. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kim K. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip.

Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Kim K has done it again. Her and her legal team has freed another inmate after he was supposed to serve a life sentence for a low-level drug offense. And she got him out. Kim announced on Friday saying the prisoner's name is Jeffrey Stringer. He would be walking free and reunited with his family.

He served 22 years of a life sentence, and she was able to get him out after two decades behind bars. Man, drop one of the clues bombs for Kim Kardashian. All right, she's using her privilege and money and fame to get things done. If you hating on that, you a sucker. He was convicted of drug possession. He was 25 years old. He had two drug priors, and he got life under the federal three strikes law. I don't care who

Kim K is. I don't care what Kim K used to be. I just know what Kim K is doing now. And if she's using her position of power to make things like that happen, I can't do nothing but salute that. And if you hate none of that, you are a complete and total sucker. She's doing the work. She's doing the work. Absolutely. Now, Kim Kardashian,

speaking of Kim, she got into a lawsuit against a company called Misguided USA Clothing Company for allegedly using her image. Well, it looks like Kim K gets between $500,000 to a million dollars for each Instagram post. She says she gets more like a million dollars for each

post. Is that crazy? Not each post. Each post when she's advertising something. I don't want people to think that whenever she just posts a regular picture. When she's advertising something, she gets a million dollars. They give her a million dollars, allegedly, to put those posts up. Because people are stupid. So people will go on her page and just start counting regular pictures.

Ooh, see this picture of North? Ooh, this picture of Saint? No, when she actually is advertising something, yes, she gets that kind of money. Yeah. I'm not mad at that. And congratulations to Gayle King. She negotiated a $11 million deal with CBS News. Drop on the clues box for Gayle King. She negotiated $11 million deal with CBS News. Drop on a clues bomb for Gayle

King, damn it. Did people have to get fired for that to happen? I don't know, but she was making $5 million a year and now it's jumped up to $11 million. She deserves it, damn it. Absolutely. Congratulations to her. I love to see people winning. I don't know anything about that show except for Gayle King. What's the name of the show?

CBS This Morning, right? Huh? That's it? The only reason I know that is except for Gayle King. What's the name of the show? CBS This Morning, right? Huh? That's it? The only reason I know that is because of Gayle. The only reason I know that is because I read articles of Gayle King and Gayle King of CBS This Morning. Okay. So drop on the clues box for Gayle King. And lastly, it seems like

maybe Joe Button and Cincinnati might have called it quits. They haven't been following each other on Instagram. And you know, when you don't follow somebody, it must be over. That's what people say. Who keeps up with this kind of stuff? I don't know. Who knows if Joe Button is following Sin Santana or Sin Santana is following Joe?

Who keeps up with this kind of stuff? I don't know. Well, Joe, he's on his podcast tour and he said this during his podcast tour. We didn't hurry up. What that means is that neither one of us said it's over. Now, with that said, we haven't spoken in a little while. Stinger's almost been dead for a few weeks. Can you have me break up without saying it?

I'm asking for enlightenment from Tampa. Mr. Roman, can you break up without actually breaking up? So he said that they necessarily didn't break up because they didn't break up. What? He didn't say they broke up. So could they be broken up? What are you talking about? They haven't spoke to each other in about three weeks, but they haven't said it's over.

They haven't had that conversation to say it's over. I don't think you have to have a conversation. Breakups aren't words. Breakups are actions. If you haven't spoken to your significant other in a few weeks, yeah, y'all probably are broken up. Not to mention they have a child together.

Yeah, but she could just be mad, man. Yeah, but you just can't take the child away and bounce for a few weeks. You know what I'm saying? You got to have communication. See, that's why I don't like, I got to get more context to this because did she take the child? I don't know.

You can't just take my child away for a few weeks. This is Angel E's rumor report, bro. I'm just sitting in. I'm just sitting in. I'm just sitting in. I need more context. But yes, you can break up without somebody saying, hey, we broke up. We'll talk about that next hour.

But that is your rumor report. Now, coming up, we got front page news. We'll tell you about the Avengers. I've seen it twice, and I still don't know what goes on in it, but we'll talk about it when we come back. Angel Yee, please come back. I don't want to hear Envy doing none of this. I mean, either. I don't want to do it either.

Jesus Christ. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angel Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Last night, the Raptors beat the 76ers 101-96. They tied a series 2-2. The Nuggets beat the Trailblazers 116-112. That series is also tied at 2-2.

Now, Avengers Endgame crosses the $2 billion mark in record time in two weeks. 11 days, actually, of the release. Knew that was going to happen. Now, they become the second highest grossing film ever. They beat Titanic. The number one grossing film is... Avatar. Avatar, that is correctly.

I mean, listen, man. Endgame is a great film. That's why it's doing so well. And as you Game of Thrones fans know, it's hard to close, bro. It is. It's hard to close. Closure is a hard thing for a film or TV show to do,

but Endgame is one of the most satisfying films I've ever witnessed when it comes to closure. Oh. Yes. Well, I got to start over. I don't even know where I could start. What's the first movie I should start if I want to watch this whole thing? Iron Man, 2008. All right, I'll start with that.

Now, almost 12 million pounds of Tyson chicken strips have been recalled because they might have metal. All right. Now, that's over 11.8 million pounds of frozen ready-to-eat chicken strips. Now, some of these include Tyson fully cooked crispy chicken strips, the fully cooked buffalo style chicken strips, the honey barbecue flavored chicken strips, the best choice buffalo chicken strips, the great value fully cooked chicken strips, and the food line crispy chicken strips. The best choice, buffalo chicken strips, the great value, fully cooked chicken strips, and the food line crispy chicken strips as well. There used to be a TV show

called Robot Chicken, by the way. Was it? I don't think that there's real robot chickens on this planet, is it? No. Not to mention,

this is just another case for vegans. Vegans are winning right now. There's another example for vegans to point to. It's going to be vegans walking around all day looking at people

eating chicken all judgmental saying, you know, it's probably metal in that chicken. They said the reason this happened is they said three of six people who complained about finding pieces of metal in certain Tyson products also said they suffered an injury in their mouth.

So I'm sure they're going to be suing Tyson's ass off. So they really bit into a piece of chicken and there was metal in there? Yes. That doesn't even make no sense. It doesn't even sound right. I don't understand get, I don't understand. I don't know. Is it little shards of metal or actual pieces, chunks? I don't know. They just said pieces of metal, bro. Alright,

well that is your front page news. Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. In the rumors, we were talking about Joe Button and Sin Santana. Now, they allegedly broke up, but this is what he said as he was out on his podcast tour. We didn't break up.

What that means is that neither one of us said it. It's over. Now, with that said, we haven't spoken in a little while. Our phone's been dead for a few weeks. Can you have me break up without saying it? I'm asking for enlightenment from Tampa. Mr. Roman, can you break up without actually breaking up?

All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Can you break up with somebody without actually saying you broke up? Absolutely. 360%. It's not a marriage. Explain. It's not a marriage. Can you break up with somebody without actually saying you broke up? Absolutely. 360%. It's not a marriage. Explain.

It's not a marriage. If it's a marriage, then yes, you have to go through the proper procedures to get a divorce and stuff like that. But if y'all not married and y'all just together and you haven't spoken to me in a few weeks, yeah, we broke up. I disagree. I mean, if that's my fiance and we have a child together, she could just be mad and putting you on ice to make sure you fix yourself up. For three weeks? Yes.

First of all, only a woman can do that. Let a man try that. Let a man do that to a woman and see what happens. Well, that's what I'm talking about. Not call your baby mama for three weeks and see what the hell happens. He said he's been trying to call. She hasn't answered the phone. But, no, you can't just say it's over. You can't just continue on.

No, we didn't break up yet. We didn't have that conversation yet. Until we have that conversation, we still go together. That's not true. That is true. You can believe that, but actions speak louder than words. And in this situation, if you haven't spoken to somebody in three weeks, y'all not together.

Nah, I wouldn't say that. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Can you break up with somebody without actually saying that you guys broke up? 800-585-1051. You gotta say something, right? Maybe she's just mad.

Maybe she needs a little space. Maybe she just had a child. But you gotta tell me that. Maybe she doesn't want to talk about it right now. Maybe she didn't like something that you did and is putting you on ice for a little bit. If you haven't talked to me in a few weeks, I did something terrible. Well, maybe you did. If you just abruptly stopped talking to me for three whole weeks,

I, as a man, must have done something horrible. It could have been a lot. I don't like the way you talk to me. You talk to me, you know, aggressively. I gotta put you on ice for a little bit. That's not three weeks, bro. Alright, well, 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Howdy, it's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hi, everybody.

It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Joe Button and Sin Santana. Now, allegedly, they broke up. Joe Button is on his podcast tour, and this is what he said while he was on stage. We didn't break up. What that means is that neither one of us said it's over. Now, with that said, we haven't spoken in a little while.

I think our phone's been dead for a few weeks. Can you have me break up without saying it? I'm asking for enlightenment from Tampa. Can you break up without actually breaking up? So we're asking 800-585-1051. Can you break up without actually having a conversation to say that you actually broke up? Yes. Actions speak louder than words.

I don't have to tell you I'm breaking up with you. I can show you. And by showing showing you I can bounce for three weeks And not pick up the phone When you call me That right there lets me know that We are broken up Nah not necessarily Not if you're my fiance

And we have a child You just He can't just move on Yes you can No he cannot He better not If he know what I know He cannot just move on

You can hold on to hope You know what I'm saying You can hold on to hope And you can still be my baby mama, but we're not fiancés anymore. And I will say this as well. If you are, most women lay things down quite flat for their man, meaning that men know what they can and can't do. Correct. They know what they can and can't get away with. So if you violate one of those things, I don't owe you no explanation because I've been telling your dumb ass since we've been together all these years what I would do if you did X,

Y, and Z. Right. So if you go do X, Y, and Z, I'm going to do A, B, C, and A, B, C means that I might be out. But if we're in a relationship and you do something that hurts me and I don't want to necessarily, I need some time to think about it and time to get myself together, I'm going to put you on free. I'm going to put you off a little bit.

But once again, if I have already told your dumb ass if you do X, Y, and Z, I'm going to be out. Right. I don't owe you no explanation. I don't got to tell you in the moment. Well, I decided that. You can't just leave and say it's over. No, I decided that because I drew the line in the sand a long time ago.

I gave you this list of things right here. And I told you, if you do any one of these things, I'm out. With your child. So if you do one of these things, I'm out with your child. So if you do one of these things, your woman know you know explanation. She can be out. We need to say it's over. You know what it is. Ashley, good morning.

Good morning, good morning. Hey, Ashley, can you break up without, can you just break up? Or do you have to have that conversation to say that you guys are broken up? You know what, I agree with both of you. If I have kids with them and we stand together, there's no way you can walk around the house and say, okay, we broke up and we haven't had that conversation.

It's going to turn out real ugly. But on the other side, if we just kicking in and we just, you know, hooked up, we boyfriend and girlfriend, there's no time involved, then it's kind of like, damn, I didn't talk to you. Forget it. You know, I don't know what you out here doing. Yeah, but see, but the thing is, you know, you my

fiance. We got a child. You just can't just walk away for three weeks and then say... Yeah, I got a whole ring on my finger. We got kids. No, it don't work like that. That's not healthy at all. So basically what you're saying is being that they got a kid together and they're fiances. Can you say fiances? They're fiances.

They're engaged. Being that they're engaged,és. Can you say fiancés? They're fiancés. They're engaged. They're engaged. The being that they're engaged, she owes him some explanation. They need to have that closure. She don't owe him nothing. They need closure. They need to be able to...

I agree. You know, they got kids together. When they look up and go to the next birthday party, what they gonna say to each other? That's right. I mean, you have to have closure when it comes to that.

I agree with that. That's just being grown. Thank you. Closure is important. As a Girlfriends fan who never got closure, yes comes to that. I agree with that. That's just being grown. Thank you. Closure is important. As a Girlfriends fan who never got closure, yes, I understand. Connie! Hi, Charlamagne. Hey, Connie. I want to say

good morning to my husband, Sylvester Johnson, and my kids. I'm here too, Connie. Good morning, Sylvester. Hi, DJ Envy. Forget it now. She already forgot you, sir. I know she did. I got extra excited. I've been trying to get through for months. Well, good morning, Connie. What would you like to say, Connie? Well, she asked me a question if I thought that you should have a discussion with the partner before you break up.

Of course you shouldn't. I said the same thing. That's the same thing to do. You know, can you break up without actually having that conversation? We got to have a conversation. You just can't leave me. You just can't say it's over. No, we got to talk first.

Well, now, Connie, listen, as a woman, right, you have a list of things I'm sure that you won't take from your man. So if your man does one of those things, you know, you tell him, like, look, I'm going to be out if you do one of these things. So if he violates anything on that list, do you still hold him to explanation? Yeah, I would let him know it's not an explanation. If you violate it, we're done. That's what I mean. So if you've told him this, say you and your man have been together three years. And the first year ofall relationship, you laid it

all out for him, and then he violates one of those things on that list in year three. Do you still have to tell him, alright, I'm out? Yes. Because you did X, Y, and Z. Of course. Yes. Okay. And we have a child together, so we're linked no matter what. We've got to have that conversation. We also have to discuss co-parenting.

Alright, thank you, Connie. But can I say something? I'd like to shout out to my cousin for Sex P Ladies and my son, A+, for his music career that he's trying. DJ Envy, I think you would really,

really be... Oh, no, don't come to me. You didn't even know I was here before. You better go to Charlamagne. Envy don't play records, baby. Do you have an email I can send you his music,

DJ Envy? You would love it. Yes, DJ Envy don't take requests at gmail.com. Charlamagne the guy at gmail. DJ Envy has never taken take requests at gmail.com. Charlamagne the guy at gmail. DJ Envy has never taken a request at gmail.com. That's what you can email.

Have a good one. 800-585-1051. We're talking Joe Button. Him and Santana allegedly broke up. And he said, could they possibly be broken up if they never had that conversation? They haven't spoken three weeks. So that's what we're asking. Can you break up with somebody without having that conversation?

Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking Joe Button. Him and Sin Santana allegedly broke up while he was on his podcast tour. This is what he said.

We didn't break up. What that means is that neither one of us said it's over. Now, with that said, we haven't spoken in a little while. Our phone's been dead for a few weeks. Can you have me break up without saying it? I'm asking for enlightenment from Tampa. Mr. Newman, can you break up without actually

breaking up? So we're asking 800-585-1051. Can you actually be broken up without having that conversation? Yes, I definitely think so. I think actions speak louder than words. I do agree with a lot of the callers when they say that being that they have a child

and being that they're engaged, they do owe each other some type of explanation. But if a woman has laid out a list of things that you can't do and if you do them, she's going to be out. If you violate something on that list, she don't really owe you an explanation. Maybe that right now. Not at the moment. Well, that's the thing. She needs a little space. The three weeks she's taking is her space.

Hello, who's this? Serethea Johnson. Well, that's the thing. She needs a little space. The three weeks she's taking is her space. Hello, who's this? Serethea Johnson. Hey, Serethea. We're talking Joe Button and Cyn Santana. Can they be broken up without actually having a conversation? Absolutely not. And plus, we don't quit unless I say it. You said it's not over unless you say it?

Exactly. That's what I said. I said only a woman can do this. If a man did not call his woman for three weeks and that woman did not hear from him. I wouldn't care if it was a year. You said what? I wouldn't care if it was a year. A year is extremely long.

Goodness gracious. I don't care when I find you. Trust me, we still go together. Oh, okay. All right. Are you single? Wow. I'm really not sure of that because everyone's the same guy.

Hold on. So you're in the same situation as Joe Barton is in Santana? He said that we quit. And he said that he's leaving in 30 days. So in 30 days, he didn't leave. So after about 120 days, and I told him he had to leave, and then he left. And now he says he's single, except we still sleep together, what, three, four days a week? He has his house.

I have mine. But he just thinks that that means he can free range to do whatever he wants to do. That's exactly what that means. We still go together. No. No. If he told you that y'all single, y'all single. Yeah, y'all single.

No, he didn't tell me that. He told me that when he went to the after hours. In fact, he lays up and says we're married. So I can't figure out which one it is. Oh, now he's leading you on. Y'all do go together. Yeah, y'all go together. I'm confused.

Y'all go together. Dee, good morning, Dee. Good morning, guys. Good morning, Andy. Good morning, Charlamagne. How are you? How are you doing, mama? I'm well.

How are you guys this beautiful morning? Good, good. What's happening? Now, we're talking about breaking up. Can you break up with somebody without having that conversation? Now, I think there's a level of maturity that goes with this and also an age limit. Like, if you're in your 20s, then you can definitely get away with that crap. But if you're in your 30s and older, you can't do that.

You have to communicate with your other person. If you haven't spoken in three weeks, then you're broken up. Well, with that said, since Santana is in her 20s. Well, that's why she's trying that foolishness. Yeah, we just forget that, you know, Joe Budden is damn near 40. Correct. He's older, exactly. So I see why he's reaching out to her, but she definitely, she has a child with him.

She needs to grow up and she needs to speak with him and communicate her feelings. Yeah, she's like 25, 26 years old. Joe Budden, 39. She's a child with him. She needs to grow up and she needs to speak with him and communicate her feelings. Yeah, she's like 25, 26 years old. Joe Budden, 39. She's a baby. Yes. Yeah, well, that's what he signed up for then. Okay. True indeed.

All right. Well, what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is y'all go together. All right? Y'all go together. Y'all go together. Hey, Sin, I don't know where you at, you know what I'm saying? But y'all go together.

You know what I'm saying? Y'all got a child together. Y'all go together. They go together. Hey, Sin, I don't know where you at, you know what I'm saying, but y'all go together. You know what I'm saying? Y'all got a child together. Y'all engaged. Yes, you do owe Joe Budden some type of explanation. All right. Okay. We got rumors on the way. What the f*** are you talking to yourself?

You talking about Angelina and him? We got rumors on the way. We got to talk about Usher and herpes. All right, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired?

We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk John Singleton. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. Now, rest in peace, John Singleton. He will be laid to rest today at a private funeral. He's going to be buried the same place Nipsey Hussle was buried.

Okay. So his service will be held 10 a.m. this morning, L.A. time. And we just want to say condolences to his family again and rest in peace. Yes. They're burying him pretty quick, right? Yeah, pretty fast. All right. Usher, it looks like that $20 million herpes lawsuit is behind them.

They're saying that the case has been dismissed again, but this time it looks like they reached a settlement. Now, the lady was asking for $10 million. Then she upped it to $20 million, but now they're saying allegedly they reached a settlement and it should be over with and done and gone. Jesus Christ. So we don't know if he has herpes or what it is,

if he's just settling out just to make it go away. We honestly don't necessarily know. The sad thing about herpes, you know, if you give it to somebody, you can make the case go away, but you can't make the herpes go away. You cannot. You can make the case go away by settling. That is right. But you can't settle with that herpes. Now, didn't they say like one in

three people have herpes? Yes, man. Listen, herpes has a very... Why are we playing this song? Herpes has a very terrible stigma attached to it. You know what I'm saying? Like, herpes is Yes, man. Listen, herpes has a very... Why are we playing this song? Herpes has a very terrible stigma attached to it. You know what I'm saying? Like, herpes is like a skin disease. I don't know. Don't get me to lie. I'm just saying I think it's like measles on your penis. Okay. We actually had a discussion about this

at dinner the other night. Did you? Who brought it up? I'm just curious. I don't remember. Yeah, eating dinner, eating steak, eating macaroni and cheese. Herpes. Might have been Desus. I'm not sure. Drop on the clues bombs for Deezus. Might have been Deezus. Was that on his mind? I don't remember what the discussion was about,

but we ended up having a conversation about what would you rather have, herpes or measles? And people said measles, correct? Nah, it's a lot of people that were saying herpes. They were saying measles is fatal. I don't know. I've never had either. Is measles fatal, y'all?

Do measles kill you? Where's Angelique when you need her? I have no idea. Doctors, please tweet me. I don't know. I've never had either. Is measles fatal, y'all? Do measles kill you? Where's Angel E. when you need her? I have no idea. Doctors, please tweet me. I don't know. Matter of fact, I would like to hear from some medical people. What would you rather have, herpes or the measles? Okay.

I'd like to know. And lastly, Chance the Rappy wanted to put out some positivity on his social media. So he said, I will have a good day. I will succeed today. And Wendy's will bring back spicy nuggets at some point. Please, please, please let it be today. Well, of course, the Wendy's social media team reacted. They says, sure, if you want it back, we need over 2 million likes.

And they absolutely positively got it. They got over 2 million likes. So they are going to be bringing back the spicy chicken nuggets. I'm supposed to be excited about that? I don't know if you like it. I don't know. I don't know if you like it. I don't know.

I mean, no disrespect to Wendy's, but they got great fries. I'm just, you know, I've never been a Wendy's spicy nugget guy. Burger King jumped into it and said, we already got it back. And Wendy Williams, Wendy Williams. And Wendy said. Wendy Williams said, this is all my husband can afford now. The spicy nuggets for 99 cents. Wendy Williams jumped in to say, all my bum ass husband, my bum ass ex-wife can afford

is 99 cents spicy nuggets. So please bring them back for Doodle Brown. Oh my goodness. She didn't say that. Wendy says, why would you buy Jordans at Payless? That's what they said. It had nothing to do with Wendy Williams. It was Wendy's. Oh my goodness. Hey. She didn't say that. Wendy says, why would you buy Jordans at Payless? That's what they said. It had nothing to do with Wendy Williams. It was Wendy's.

Oh, my goodness. You know what? That is your rumor report. Where the hell is Angelique? When is she coming back? I don't want to do this anymore. This guy. All right.

Well, who are you giving that donkey to, man? Let's get to the donkey today. Listen, I don't even watch this show. This is y'all's show. There's certain things that I see that grind my gears. And I saw something last night. Well, not last night. There's certain things that I see that grind my gears. And I saw something last night. Well, not last night, but actually this morning on social media that grind my gears about Game of Thrones. So I need a production crew of Game of Thrones to come to the front of the congregation.

We'd like to have a word with them. All right. We'll show $15 million an episode and y'all making mistakes like this. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You don't hear the date.

You dumbass. You don't hear the date., Gamore. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man.

They waiting for Charlamagne to tap these gloves. Let's go. They have to make a judgment of who is going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. It's a breakfast club, bitchy. Who's go. You have to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. To the breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Well, donkey of the day for Monday, May 6th goes to the entire production crew for the show Game of Thrones. I am in the 1% of people who don't watch Game of Thrones.

I have nothing against the show. I hear it's great. Maybe one day I'll watch it. My wife is an avid watcher, but that's just not a show we are into as a couple. All right? We have a lot of shows that we watch together. Game wife is an avid watcher, but that's just not a show we are into as a couple. All right? We have a lot of shows that we watch together. Game of Thrones is not one of them. In fact, the past few Sundays that Game of Thrones has been back on, you know,

after my wife has put all the kids to bed just so she can have her time to watch Game of Thrones at 9, okay, around 8, 57 p.m., I always start a fake serious conversation with her. Like, I really need to talk to you right now type of conversation. Okay? This is something that I used to do when scandal would come on. And I tend to do that with her whenever I know she's into a show that I'm not into. So it's all just jealousy,

envy, and ego. Whatever I'm allowed to feel. Okay? My therapist said I am allowed to feel whatever emotions I am feeling. So don't you judge me. Anyway, back to the production crew of Game of Thrones. Now, I don't know if you realize it or not, but this final season of Game of Thrones costs $15 million an episode.

It costs $15 million to make an episode of Game of Thrones, and that doesn't include reshoots and additional visual effects. So long story short, this season of Game of Thrones, six episodes, will cost HBO probably more than $90 million. What a few NBA superstars will make over the next three years, Game of Thrones is blowing in six weeks. Seriously, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Damian Lillard, they all give or take going to make about $90 million over the next few years.

Game of Thrones is blowing that in six weeks. I am telling you this because when a show costs this much money, production value should be extremely high. All right, last week I heard people complaining about the lighting of the show. Am I wrong about that, Envy? It was pretty dark. Okay. That's what they were saying. Saying it was too dark and this week something happened that people should be fired for. See, Game of

Thrones is a period drama. I've never seen an episode, but I know it's a medieval fantasy that explores real events from medieval history. So that would be the Middle Ages. The 15th century. So even though it's a show about medieval fantasy and you see dragons and white walkers, right? Yes. And they got giants on

there too, right? Correct. And ice dragons. Yes. I would assume those are dragons that live in ice. It's a long story. Just keep going. They got all kinds of stuff to explain. There's certain things we shouldn't see just because of the time period. I mean, let's think of some of the technological advances in the medieval ages. I mean, there was a lot of technological advances during this period.

You had the adoption of gunpowder. You had the invention of vertical windmills. You had mechanical clocks. You had water mills, improved water mills. The building techniques even were better during this time. They had medieval castles, you know, and Gothic architecture, okay? Those are the type of things that were built. So there was a lot of technology.

Medieval, right? What am I saying? Oh, go ahead. Medieval, like the times. Anyway, so there was a lot of technological advances, okay? But I don't think Starbucks was one of them, all right? Now, Starbucks was founded March 31st, 1971. I have never excelled in any math class,

but I would assume that's several centuries after medieval times, right? Medieval. Whatever. You know what the hell I'm saying. Hundreds of years after medieval times. All right? Okay. Okay.

All right. Howard Schultz is or was chairman and chief executive of Starbucks. He was born in 1953. Once again, hundreds of years after that M word that I can't pronounce times. Okay. All right? Medieval. All right? So someone explain to me word that I can't pronounce times. Okay. All right? Medieval. All right?

So someone explain to me. Maybe you can't envy or maybe you didn't notice. Why was there a Starbucks cup on the table in last night's episode of Game of Thrones? Somebody messed up. The cup was on the grand table of the people they call the nobles, right? Mm-hmm. In front of a Jon Snow seat, right? You sound so funny talking about this, but yes.

It was right next to the Mother of the Dragons, right? Correct. Yeah, I know none of these people. I just know in a period drama that cost $15 million, an episode where a Starbucks cup is on the table, that's just horrible. All right, $15 million an episode. If a Starbucks cup is on the table,

then it's possibly a whole production crew that needs to be fired. You're telling me the director of photography, the camera operators, the first assistant camera operators, second assistant camera operators, grips, gaffers, boom operators, production designers, most importantly, the script supervisor. The script supervisor, that's your job. The script supervisor is

the person in charge of continuity. The script supervisor must maintain a record of scenes shot and how they may have deviated from the original script. The script supervisor also creates the continuity report and works with an assistant to make sure continuity is maintained. So not only did that person not do their job, none of the other people I named on this production crew did their job either.

Nobody noticed this big-ass Starbucks cup on a table in a period drama. Look man, I don't watch Game of Thrones but I heard people complaining about the lighting last week saying it was too dark. Maybe that's why they missed the Starbucks cup this week because it was too dark. But listen to me. It's hard to close. Alright? This is why

I love Endgame so much and this is why I say when it comes to closure, no movie or TV show is giving me the proper closure that Endgame so much. And this is why I say when it comes to closure, no movie or TV show has given me the proper closure that Endgame did. Think about the last episode of Sopranos. They didn't close well. If you are a girlfriend fan

like myself, you got zero closure, okay? They just abruptly ended. Closing is hard to do. Ask LeBron James. All I'm saying is, all I'm saying is, Game of Thrones, you got two more episodes left.

Please let this plane land with the wheels out. You owe it to your diehard Game of Thrones fans who sing the praises of this show. You can't land proper closure with the mother of the dragons, the breaker of the change, and drinker of blonde espressos. All right? Please give the script supervisor and TV production crew of Game of Thrones the sweet sounds and the hammer tones.

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. All right. I'm just saying, somebody gotta explain that one. Well, they're saying the next episode's gonna be one of the best

ever. What, they're gonna have the whole Starbucks in this one? I don't know. They're gonna have the whole goddamn franchise? I don't know. But they're saying it's gonna be the best. Everybody gonna go get blonde expressos after they have a fight or something? I don't know. But alright. Well, that was the donkey. Thank you for that donkey, sir. Now, when we come back, Taylor Rooks will be joining us.

Taylor Rooks. Yes. She has a show on Bleacher Report called. All right. None of us seem to know. What's it called? Take it there. Take it there with Taylor Rooks.

Take it there with Taylor Rooks. Okay, Taylor Rooks is up next. All right. People really enjoy Taylor Rooks. We like her a lot. We'll talk to Taylor Rooks when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag.

I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh, my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help!

We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests

and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire,

join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt

the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.

I hear this young lady's name everywhere, by the way. Taylor Rooks. Taylor. Hello. Hi, Taylor. Good to be here. Happy to finally make it. I've been trying to get Taylor to come up here for a while,

but we wanted to make sure the timing was right because you have your show. I do. I do. And it's very exciting. We are now on to episode five will be next. So it's crazy that we're already at that point. Yes, take it there with Taylor Rooks.

And yes, I know the first time I formally met you, you're like, oh, I know you. You're in my group chat. Yes, I'm like, yo, I feel like I know you because every guy in my group chat is Yes, I'm like, yo, I feel like I know you because every guy in my group chat is always talking about Taylor Rooks. How many industry dudes try to holler at you on the daily, Taylor? Not on the daily. I mean,

men are men regardless of like where you are. So, I mean, I think that girls, you know, people try to talk to them every single day. I think maybe it's a little more since, you know, people get to see me in more places, but that's just being a woman. But I'm sure a lot of industry guys, though, because you are in the business.

Yeah. Yeah. That's who you come across. That's like who you're around. But no, I'm very single in these streets. Well, guess whose DMs are about to be popping up for this interview. All right. You said the magic word to a lot of people just now.

I've been places with Taylor works and had to be like, this person wants to know, but he's too nervous. I'm not going to say who it is, but we know who it is. Yeah. Who is it? I'm not going to say because he's a friend of the show also. But he was just too nervous. And then he was like, oh, she's not going to.

I'm like, come on, just holler at her. Like, what's the big problem? That's got to be a turnoff, right? A guy that don't even have the confidence to talk to you? I would say that if someone was nervous to talk to me, it's probably not going to work. Yeah. Damn, sorry. Because, no, because I mean, I'm just not a nervous individual and I am very into confidence.

I believe everyone should be confident and you're already two steps behind if you're thinking like, she's not going to be into this. But also, to be honest, like, I'm still like in between heartbreaks right now. Like, you know what I mean? Really trying to. What happened? I'm just like, you know, I think that sometimes women like to,

I don't want to say like play this role, but feel as though like, yes, I'm not in this relationship anymore and I'm bigger and I'm better and I'm stronger. And while that is true, like when you end a relationship, it's also very difficult. Like, you know, I was with somebody for four years and we're not together anymore and I think

that when you're in love with somebody you're going to be in love with parts of them for a very long time. What happened? Are you still in love, first of all? Yes. With parts of him. That's what she just said. Okay. Yeah. But I mean, I don't know, do you guys think

that when you're in love with somebody you ever stop Don't switch this on us. Don't switch this on us. Don't switch this on us. You keep spilling your guts, Taylor. But you know what I'm saying? What happened? It's not that like anything necessarily happened. It's hard to be in a relationship with somebody that you're not in the same state as.

You outgrown. No, I didn't outgrow him, but it's just, it's difficult. He didn't cheat, did he? I'm not getting into the specifics of this. Oh, you mean different state as in you live in New York, you live somewhere else. That's like long distance. Oh, I thought you meant state of mind. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh, okay. Yeah, different states. You caught him cheating. That's not why we broke up. No. Tell me how far the distance is, first of all, because if it's Philly, New York, then that's No, no, no, down south. Oh, okay.

Yeah, so. You're from Georgia. I'm from Georgia. All right. Yeah, yeah, no Down south Oh, okay Yeah, so You're from Georgia I'm from Georgia Alright Yeah, yeah But yeah, so That's kind of what I think That you grapple with

And I don't know If you ever stop being in love With a human being Oh And you can You can definitely fall out of love With somebody Yeah

100% I hope so You should have never fell in love To begin with You're supposed to grow in love With people When you fall, you get hurt That is very true But I'm a person I enjoy being in love I begin with. You're supposed to grow in love with people. When you fall, you get hurt. That is very true.

But I'm a person, I enjoy being in love. I don't know why it's weird right now. People like being like, I'm by myself and I'm cool. And I am so great being alone. And I'm happy. I'm an incredibly happy individual. But I also think that life is a lot more full and it's fun to go through life with another human being. That's because your cup probably runneth over with love.

And you're able to fill up other people's cup. You're also still pretty young, though. I am. You're in a different phase of your life where you have your own show that you're starting, so you're focused. And I'm sure that sometimes it's hard to be in a relationship with somebody when you know you have to go talk to people that they might be intimidated by. That's true. I think there's always like this balance. But one thing that I was very, you know, proud of with our relationship is we were both secure.

And when you know somebody, other people don't matter. And if you're just confident within your relationship and the person that you're with, then that helps. But I also understand it would probably be very hard to be with me. And I'm cognizant of that fact. Like it's hard to be with somebody that maybe people are tweeting about or commenting on their Instagram or, like, being mean. Putting their name in the group chat. I can't imagine, like, what that would be like. And I understand that.

And that's also on you to make sure that person is incredibly comfortable, too. So I'm in no way saying being with me would be a breeze. I'm sure it's difficult. And I'm sure that for him at times it was incredibly difficult. Was your ex in the industry? No. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, so that probably is a tough one.

Yeah. I mean, like he is involved in sports, but he is not like a fake. Yeah, no. I don't know who Taylor Rooks is. Explain to him what Taylor Rooks is and where she works, where she does. Who she is. Yeah, so I am within sports media. I am a sports interviewer, sports host.

I have my own show called Take It There with Taylor Rooks, which features weekly interviews with athletes, entertainers, and all those things. So I started at the Big Ten Network. Then I was at SNY. And now I'm with Bleacher Report. You come from a family of athletes, right? I do. Your father was a football player?

Yeah. My dad played football at Illinois. One of my uncles played for the Saints. My other great uncle played for the Cardinals. Lou Brock just played for the Cardinals. Yeah, he's a Hall of Famer with the St. Louis Cardinals, so it's definitely lots of sports in my family.

You either like it or you get kicked out in high school, but I wasn't. Well, let's take it there with Taylor Rook. Oh, we going there? Okay, let's do it. Let's take it there with you. So let's talk about where you were and what was happening and going through your mind when you uncovered a whole scandal while you were at Scout.com. Yeah. So I think that for me, I have, I think, been very fortunate that I have been in this industry for a long time. So a lot of the things happen to people later.

It's hard for them to deal with because they're not used to it. When I was in college, I was covering sports. I was within the media space. I was breaking news. It was really my job when I was in college. And I was covering recruiting. And at that point, I was covering a recruit named Cliff Alexander. And he was supposed to go to Illinois. He ended up not going to Illinois. He went to Kansas. But he would only like talk to me and one other reporter about different news. So reporters would be like, OK, he's not talking to anybody, but he's talking to her. Like and they were upset about that. And they were like, well, Cliff only talks to her because she's pretty.

Like Cliff only talks to her because he likes her. What's wrong with pretty privilege? Nothing wrong with it. Yeah, but it's also can be demeaning to me. Her pedigree as a reporter. Right. Right. But then what happened was once once that and kudos to Cliff for this when it happened. And keep in mind, he's like 17, maybe 18. He's like, this isn't why I talked to her. Like, this is rude that you would even even say this.

And all of the beat reporters at University of Illinois, like kind of had my back. But so imagine me, I'm 19 and these like old men are basically insinuating that like that's the only reason why I'm able to do my job. I think that the sad part is that's something that still happens today, probably to all female journalists. But even if I'll do an interview, right, and it'll be really good and I'll get somebody talking about something crazy, they'll open up and it's a really nice piece of content. It's like, uh, Taylor always gets these guys to talk about whatever because they're trying to shoot

their shot. They're trying to risk it all. It's like, no, they had a good answer because I asked a good question. True. But like, for whatever reason, we have to go to the extreme instead of just thinking about what's right in front of us, which was this is a good interview because I've been doing this

for a very long time. All right. We got more with Taylor Rooks. When we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Cardiac glasses.

I won't even Pikachu. Yellow Ferrari like Pikachu. I got on waiting and watching what he gonna do. Trying to pee what I do. Trying to steal my moves. 2,500 for a new pair of tennis shoes. The same price I can make them young as come and finish you. Low you being charged here.

Jewel like a voodoo. Real dope boy. A hundred thousand, then he visa President's a ten-slide, boy, I went to see you I been getting money, I ain't worried about what he do I'm getting money like I'm from the 80s, man Dre about to drop, man, this **** gon' go crazy They know I'm the truth, come and scrape from the basement

I'm straight as a squeak, man, I come from the pavement A million, a hundred, they make them go crazy Wham, wham, wham, **** on the baby Brand new whip, got no keys Tell them I closed, no stars, please Soon as I ****, you can Brand new whip, got no keys. Tell her my clothes, no starch, please. Soon as I, you can go. But you got M's in the bank like, yes, indeed. Me and my dog going all the way.

When you're living like this, they supposed to hate. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with sports analyst Taylor Rooks. Yee. I do want to take it there and talk about the Dwayne Wade interview that you had. Yeah.

Which was a great interview. But somehow people were saying that he was trying not to look at you and he was focused on. Yeah, and it's like, we take this small part of anything and we screenshot it and we're like, oh, he was staring at her. Like, no, he wasn't. And you also have to think about the fact that. It did look like he was when I saw the video, though. I'm not going to lie. no, he wasn't. And you also have to think about the fact that, like... It did look like he was when I saw the video, though. I'm not gonna lie. No, he was looking.

But my thing, he's looking at me the way I'm looking at you and you're looking at me. You're staring at her right now, Charlamagne. You know what I mean? You're supposed to make eye contact when you're doing it. I'm like, yeah, I'm talking to her. So that's not staring, that's... Exactly, so I'm talking and I'm doing this interview.

So, like, yes, we're looking at each other. And it's like, for my podcast, I think that Dwayne Wade interview was one of my best. But I think that's when I first saw you. I think that might have been. Yeah. But like, if people would focus on what I'm saying as much as they focus on what they're seeing, like things would just be like much better. But it genuinely does not really bother me at this point because the people that are supposed to hear the message, hear the message, people that understand, understand. And like what they think of me has nothing to do with me.

I will say, though, don't look down upon your blessings because, you know, that may bring people in. But it's what comes out of your mouth that keeps them. Yeah. And I completely agree with that. Like in a lot of ways, I credit social media to, I mean, a lot of my career. Like, they're the ones who appreciate what I'm doing. They'll retweet, they'll like, they'll comment. Like, a lot of it is social media. The podcast thrived because of social media

and because people wanted to see what people were tweeting about and why they were tweeting about this. So, yeah, like, how you look might get you there, but it's not the thing that's going to keep you there. And that's what people don't understand about female journalists. They'll think that you're just like this eye candy that adds to a broadcast, but you can't make money

off just being that in this industry. It is hard to do this. The preparation that goes into the interviews, putting together an entire show, making sure you're creating news, this isn't a fluke. Like, I did this for four

years in college. My first job was on a national network. My second job was in the number one market. Now I'm 26 years old and I have my own show. Like, you don't fake your

way to that. This is years. Right. You better stop talking like this before you wake up ugly tomorrow. All right? Before you wake up, God

take away all your blessings. You're like the movie Big or Little instead of waking up like... And I am incredibly flattered. I think that it's so nice that, you know, some people think that I'm good looking. Like, that's really nice. I'm in no way knocking those compliments.

I appreciate them. I think that we're all incredibly beautiful. But I'm so many other adjectives. Right. She doesn't want it to be just that, about that. Yeah, like I'm fine with you being like, you look great in this interview but you also sound great

and that was a good question. I'm going to be honest with you, you look alright. Thank you. See, I'm fine with that. Yeah, you are. And my thing is, I'm fine if somebody goes on the internet and is like, you're ugly.

Like, I don't care because... You shouldn't care either way. Yeah, like I don't tie my self-worth into what I look like. The only person that sees being ugly as a diss is if that's all you care about yourself. True. If you think I'm not pretty,

you think I have a big nose, which I do and I love. You think I have brown skin, which I love. I'm fine with that. That's not a thing that's going to change how I feel about myself, and I'm fine with somebody commenting that. What are some of the challenges you face being a black, female, regular-looking sportscaster? Yeah.

I'll answer once you rephrase. Okay. What are some of the challenges you face being a black, female sportscaster? Yeah. I think, obviously, just being a black person, you're going to be facing certain challenges. You know, so there's already layers to that question.

I'm black, I'm a woman, and I'm in a space that is considered to be facing certain challenges. So there's already layers to that question. I'm black, I'm a woman, and I'm in a space that is considered to be very public. So a lot of things are already working against you. I think that I am here because of those things. So I see being black and being a woman as two things that I very much so identify with, and that means a lot to me. I don't think that I would be the way I am if it wasn't for that.

It's a privilege. Like, that's why I... Yeah, your book. My first book is Black Privilege. I feel like it's a privilege to be black. It's such a privilege. I don't want to be anything else. Like, that's...

I'm here because of that. Do you participate in online debates? Because there's been this debate about Russell Westbrook and Damian Lillard. Yeah. Which I think is so premature. I love Damian Lillard. I thought it was a great shot. He's had a great season. He had a great series against LKC. You had a great interview with Damian Lillard, too. I did. Yeah, I had a good one and Damian Lillard, which I think is so premature. I love Damian Lillard. I thought it was a great shot. He's had a great season.

He had a great series against LKC. You had a great interview with Damian Lillard, too. I did. Yeah, I had a good one, too. But he's not better than Russell Westbrook. You're saying that it's too quick to see that shot and just make a decision. Man, Russell Westbrook has averaged a triple-double for the past three seasons. That was an incredible shot.

Damian Lillard had a great series and a good shot, and now he's better than Russell Westbrook. Yeah, he kind of does average a triple-double for three seasons in a row. But I will say this. Does Russell Westbrook losing in the first round this year change what you think of Russ? Like, are you starting to think, like, maybe he isn't as good as I thought? No. He may just not be a winner.

You know what I'm saying? Like, he may be a great player, but he may just not be a winner. But that doesn't mean—Damion Lillard might end up being a better winner than Russell Westbrook'm saying? Like, he may be a great player, but he may just not be a winner. But that doesn't mean... Damian Lillard might end up being a better winner than Russell Westbrook, but that doesn't mean he's a better player. Yeah, Russell. LeBron James is probably the best player in the league. You don't necessarily call him a winner.

Yes. Yeah, what do you mean? Kobe Bryant is a winner. Yeah, but I would say LeBron is a winner, too. When Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are on the court, you know that they're probably going to win a winner. Yeah, but I would say LeBron is a winner too. No, when Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are on the court, you know that they're probably going to win a championship. When LeBron's on your team, you know they're probably going to compete for a championship.

It's a difference. But that doesn't mean he's not a winner. You're saying that maybe they're more of a winner, but to say he's not a winner, I don't think is really accurate. He's won. He's a winner. He was really big for that Cleveland Cavaliers. He is a winner.

That made him a winner Yeah No That But honestly though That to me Is like the single Thing that

Restored his legacy When people thought about him Was the fact that He went back Back to Cleveland And won there If he didn't do that I don't know how

He would be remembered No that was good for him Yeah That was it That was Him coming back To beat Golden State And him getting his hairline back

was the two greatest things that he's accomplished. But Michael Jordan dominated his era. Like, you knew when Michael Jordan was on the floor, they probably were going to win the championship. You're not too sure like that with LeBron. I think LeBron would have dominated his era if the Warriors didn't have that all-star team. LeBron had been to plenty of finals before Golden State, sir. Who dominated his era if the Warriors didn't have that all-star team?

LeBron had been to plenty of finals before Golden State, sir. What are you talking about? LeBron's like three and what? Three and seven? It's just not accurate to say he's not a winner. Yeah, that's not accurate. Who dominated since LeBron's been in the league? Who dominated since LeBron's been in the league? Since he's been in the league?

Yes, sir. Nobody's dominated the league. LeBron. No, he hasn't. LeBron hasn't dominated the league? No, I don't think he's been dominant. Then who has been? But we're saying that who's been dominant?

I think right now the Golden State Warriors are dominant. But a person. Yeah, no, a person. You mean as an individual player? An individual player. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's what we're saying. Once again, you can be a dominant player and not be a winner.

Russell Westbrook is a dominant player, but he's not a winner. Okay, so then tell me one person in the league right now that fits your criteria for winner. Right now, Steph Curry, without a doubt. But like, so you're saying that you would take Steph over LeBron because he won, because he was on the Warriors with this amazing team. All I'm saying

is... I just don't think it's the same thing that's going nowhere. It's a hairline envy argument. But just going back to what we were saying about Damian Lillard, why would you say Damian Lillard is better than Russell Westbrook? I didn't say that. She didn't say that. See, there we go. She never said that.

No, we were talking about it. You just said he only had one shot. We said he's more than just one shot. I do think that Damian Lillard this entire time, though, has been better than he has been given credit for. That's a fact. It's a market, though. I was going to say, it's simply because he plays in Portland.

Well, you can hear from Taylor Rooks. Tell him where, Taylor Taylor because you'll be arguing with him all day. Yes, I definitely will. I just wanted to show that she can argue. That's all. But did you believe

what you were saying? No, I definitely do, though. I do, I do. Like you said, I think it's a little hairline envy. No, I do believe that. I think LeBron

is a great individual player. I just don't necessarily think he's a winner. Wait, quick question. Speaking of the hairline envy because I'm curious, is that a real thing? The like fixing it?

No, don't say it. I'm saying like. This used to belong to DJ Self. This was his hair. And we turned it into the microphone cover. Okay. No, seriously. Stop it.

But guys really do like get it. Yeah, they do. Really. Take it out the back hair. But you got a lot of different ways. You put a PRP. Show us how you did it, Envy. I didn like get it. Yeah, they do. Really. They take it out the back hair. But you got a lot of different ways. You put a PRP. Show us how you did it, Envy. I didn't do it.

PRP is when they draw your blood. Have you guys ever thought about it? Envy got it, I think. This is in Beijing right now. I believe you. No, I'm serious. You would see this thing in the back hair. You would see this.

Envy don't have it. Envy ain't had no hairline last year. Did you talk about yourself in third person? He went away For two weeks And came back with a hairline Well Taylor Thank you for joining us Taylor Rooks

Alright it's Taylor Rooks It's The Breakfast Club Good morning The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wu-Tang. 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. Now shout to Wu-Tang. Come on now. Wu-Tang. It seems like Staten Island honored the crew by crowning an intersection, the Wu-Tang Clan District. As they should have.

Let's hear the brothers talking about it. It's like a dream right now. It's like, yo, 25 years later to come back and to have a district, a block named after your crew. It's like, yo, it's unbelievable. First of all, people don't get to make it 25 years later. But coming from Staten Island, it's like, yo, I want to tell you, anything is possible. I never saw this day coming.

I know we were some ill MCs, but I didn't know they'd take it this far. That's dope. That was on the corner of Targhee Street and Vanderbilt Avenue. I mean, Staten Island needs a whole new rebrand, so they might as well just rename Staten Island to Shaolin, period. You know what I mean? Start all the way completely over. I don't know if they're going to just rename Staten Island to Shaolin, period. You know what I mean? Start all the way completely over.

I don't know if they're going to do that, but congratulations to Wu-Tang. Dropping the clues, bouncing the greatest hip-hop group of all time in my humble opinion, Wu-Tang Clan.

My personal favorite rapper of all time is Ghostface Killer. That's my personal favorite. Okay, but if I'm being objective and I say who the greatest is, I'm going to say Hov.

But my personal favorite is Ghostface. All right, now, are you a Razz B fan? Well, first of all, I'm going to say Hov. But my personal favorite is Ghostface. All right. Now, are you a Razby fan? Well, first of all, before we move to Razby, Of Mites and Men will be on Showtime this weekend, if I'm not mistaken. It premieres on Showtime this Friday, which is the Wu-Tang Clan documentary. May 10th.

May 10th. That's this Friday, right? Right? Yeah, this Friday. This Friday. Yes. May 10th. Okay.

Well, shout out to Wu-Tang again. Now, Razby, you a Razby fan? That's what I was asking you? Love him. Think he's the best of all time. Well, shout out to Wu-Tang again. Now, Razby, you a Razby fan, that's what I was asking you? Love him. Think he's the best of all time. Well, great. You're going to love him some more. He's joining the cast of Love & Hip Hop.

Okay. He's turning his relationship drama into cold, hard cash. He signed on, so we'll see all that's going on with him. He got arrested recently, but the attorney's office decided not to prosecute him. He allegedly strangled his girlfriend. So they're not going to prosecute him. He allegedly strangled his girlfriend. So they're not going to prosecute that. And I'm sure you hear that story on Love & Hip Hop.

Which Love & Hip Hop though? Gotta be Atlanta if it's Razz B. It only makes sense for it to be Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. The Hollywood branch. Hollywood branch. Yeah, okay. Not excited? Eh.

Razz B in Atlanta would be way more fun. All right. And the queen. They violated the queen, Diana Ross. She says she felt violated. She was going through TSA. And they went a little hard. They started patting her down, touching her.

And she said she felt violated. She says, okay. This is what she left on Twitter. Okay, so no one hand I'm treated like royalty in New Orleans. And then the airport I was treated like ish. Let me be clear. Not the people or Delta, but TSA was over the top. Makes me want to cry.

It's not what was done, but how. I felt violated. I still feel her hands between my legs, front and back, saying to me it's her job. Wow, really mixed emotions. I always like to see the good things, but not feeling good right now. I guess that's when she was going through TSA.

She was probably random searched, and they had to search her. Remember Angela Rye went through the same problem, right? Yeah, listen, I think that TSA is, wow. I think it's disgusting, but my thing is sounds like Diana ain't flown commercial in a long time. I was thinking that. She ain't flew commercial

in a long time. Getting molested at TSA is a regular occurrence. That's for you? Absolutely. You don't have pre-check? I got clear. Yeah, they don't do that pre-check and clear. I don't go through clear.

I definitely don't have pre-check, but I have clear. But if there's no clear, they definitely will get you. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you want to go in the back for some privacy? No. You're going to fondle the back for some privacy? No. You're going to fondle me right here in front of everybody. I've never heard you complain about it.

I'm not a, I mean, honestly, I'm not a woman, but I can see where a woman would think that is very, very intrusive. Absolutely. You know what I mean? Because I'd be thinking they'd be doing too much as a guy, but I'm just like, you know, it's a necessary evil, so to speak. But, nah, if they they doing that to women, yes, they wildin'. They definitely wildin'.

Alright, well that is your Rumor Report. Shout to Revolt. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. Let's start the mix off with some Meek Mill.

Shout out to everybody that came out there. Just talking to people about ownership and entrepreneurship. So I had a great conversation. I ran into Stephon Marbury while I was out there, too. He said he wants to come up here. So I told him, come on up.

Is he out of season? Well, I don't think he plays. I think he retired last year. Oh, he retired? I think he retired last year. Oh, okay. Well, shoot, what is Carmelo Anthony waiting on then? No, not Carmelo Anthony. I said Stephon Marbury. I think he retired last year. Oh, he retired? I think he retired last year. Oh, okay. Well, shoot, what is Carmelo Anthony waiting on then? No, not Carmelo Anthony. I said Stephon Marbury.

I know that, but what is Carmelo Anthony waiting on? Carmelo Anthony needs to go to China and be a superstar. He'll build the statue of Carmelo when it's all said and done. He only 35? I mean, he got about four or five great years in China to ball out. Man, go over there and be a star. Well, maybe he doesn't want to ball. Maybe he got enough money. He just wants to chill.

Watch his kid grow. Maybe. All right. When we come back, positive note, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I want to tell everybody, man, since it's Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to tell you that your mental health is more important than any and everything. And some people just live out their whole lives with some sort of ache in their heart

they never resolve. I'm telling you to go resolve it. Heal is the word of the day. Breakfast club, bitches! Y'all finished or y'all done? Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine.

I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.
