Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.

I figured it out. The voice of reason. The solid. Hold it down. The beige rage. And the agitator. The breakfast Club. Everyone just kept having to prep for this.

One word to describe the Breakfast Club would be black. Impacting the culture. People watch the Breakfast Club for like news and really be tuned in, man. I don't even know what to call the Breakfast Club. It's like brunch. Envy, yee, and Charlemagne. Wake that ass up, get out of bed, and listen to the Breakfast Club. Wake that ass up. Get out of bed and listen to The Breakfast Club. I'm waking up.

Good morning, USA. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, How are you? What's happening? My goodness. Where the hell are you at? You still in Tampa? No, no, no. I'm home now. You know, I got to sit out for a second. I'm not just going to come to work. Oh, yeah. You got a quarantine.

I'm not just going to put my coworkers in jeopardy now. Yeah, you got a quarantine for a whole month since you was in Florida. And you was in the clubs partying and stuff, too. And you got to get three anal swabs before you return. No, no, no. I'll be back on Monday. Hopefully, my test will be okay. But yeah, I'm back from Tampa. Had an amazing time. Less about the parties and all that. I mean,

that's just bonus. But it was more taking my son to the Super Bowl. We just had a great time. It's that those memories that I try to create that one, you know, hopefully when I'm not here anymore, he passes that on and hopefully takes his son. And it's just the time that I spent with my son, which is you can't take you can't bring no back. You know, on and hopefully takes his son. It's just the time that I spent with my son, which is you can't bring no back. You can't take that back. It's the time that you just enjoy. You sit down, have man-to-man talk, man-to-man conversations.

You eat. There's nobody else around. You teach him how to move out here. It's bonding. It is bonding. It's worth the three anal swabs you're going to have to get upon your return. I'm not getting those damn three anal swabs. Were people wearing masks at all? Because return. I'm not getting those damn three anal swabs. You got to get three anal swabs. Were people wearing masks at all? Because I saw on the news they were saying that people were not wearing masks.

And then there's 20 variants that they found just after the Super Bowl in Florida. There was 32 variants in the 50 Cent Party that nobody had a mask on, that a certain someone was DJing. Well, let me tell you. Now, I didn't go to that party. But during the game, everybody had a mask on. The stadium wasn't packed. It looked packed because they had cutouts.

So it was two seats, then it was three cutouts of fake people, then it was two seats. So everybody was pretty much distanced. Everybody had a mask on. There was mask police making sure everybody was masked. All the clubs that I DJed, which was about three, all all had four, I all had masks on. Everybody had masks on except in the crowd. I mean, you can tell where people were. If you were from Atlanta, if you were from Florida,

if you were from places that were open, you did not have a mask on. I'm not even going to say that a lot, but if you were from New York, New Jersey, most people wore masks. All the restaurants had masks. Employees had masks. Is it possible Florida and Georgia are so full of antibodies that they got some type of herd immunity going on? I'm asking.

Is it possible? I don't know. There's still cases there. There's definitely a lot of cases. I'm not saying there's not cases. But, man, there's got to be something going on in them places that we don't know about, bro. And how do you wear a mask in a restaurant while you're eating and drinking? Well, you know, you wear a mask to your table.

Then when you get to your table, like anything else. Oh, you were in a restaurant too? Well, I did day parties. My day parties are restaurants. Oh, my God. Six anal swabs for you upon your return. We got to double that. You can't just get three.

You got to get six. And we're going to swab until we feel resistance. It sounds like you want to do my swabs. I'm just saying. That's what it feels like right now. The anal swab is the most effective from what I heard. It's the most accurate. It feels like that.

But you know what? It was a great experience. Just to see the city win its own Super Bowl was something like, when you talk about wilding out, I mean, I've never seen anything like that. People were wilding out. They were having a good time. They were partying. Now, I didn't stay in Tampa.

I stayed in Clearwater. Wild it. Now, Clearwater is a retirement place, I would say. So, you know, I spoke to Terrence J. He was like, he was at the mall and they were doing Three Card Monty. And I told him when they were in Clearwater, they were doing bingo. Like, that's how Clearwater was. It was quiet.

It was nothing there. But we, you know, I had a really, really good time. So shout out to everybody. I want to shout out to the people at 7th and Grove who was one of the only black restaurants out in Tampa. So I did an event there, had some great food. Shout out to the people at G5. You know, that's the strip club. But Tampa really

treated me well. So I just want to say shout out to everybody in Tampa. Bro, I was only at three anal swabs. I went up to six. You're at about nine right now. You went to G5 too? Had to DJ. Nine anal swabs upon your return. Okay? And I want to smell Terrence J's results before he gets

back into civilization. Yo, you shut up. You want to smell? Yo, you're kinky. It's an anal swab, bro. Stop the goddamn show. Kirk Franklin will be joining us this morning. That's right. Kirk Franklin will be here. He's got a new podcast out, actually. I can't remember the name of it right

now, but give me a second. Good words. Good words. There you go. Good words. Is it on the Black Effect Network? No, it's not on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network. It's with Sony. I think he did it with Sony. Is that correct? Yes. It starts today. Yes, Pharrell's on his first episode, but we'll talk to Kirk Franklin. Kirk Franklin's always

a good conversation. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, let's talk about Donald Trump's impeachment trial that starts today. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Ye? Donald Trump's impeachment trial starts today at 1 p.m. Eastern. It could last up to four hours. If there's a vote to move forward, it'll continue tomorrow at noon. So you

can actually watch the impeachment trial live if you want to on most major TV networks. And they said the trial should last. It's expected to run at least until Monday, February 15th. So we'll keep you updated on that. And senators will be talking about the violent events of the January 6th riots and whether or not Donald Trump is culpable for inciting the insurrectionists that attack the Capitol and place their lives in danger. So it's the first time in U.S. history that a president will be tried in the Senate Court of Impeachment

a second time, and it's the first time that it's a former president who will face the prospect of conviction and disbarment of office. Yeah, I've never heard of a president being impeached when they're no longer in office, and I hope this isn't just some, you know, theater. You know, I hope that they're actually trying to get

him up out of there, but I don't see the point right now. Well, I think it's also, that doesn't mean in the last few days of office that you can do whatever you want just because you feel like you won't be impeached. And so I think it's that because those events did happen while he was in office. Oh, I'm with you. Yeah, and the other the other thing is that you want to make sure that they also put

these restrictions so he doesn't try to run again because he's already been talking about that i just find it so strange that for the last four years they let him run around with no consequences you know i mean no repercussions and now you want to act tough the last couple of weeks that he's in office now democrats want to show courage which which couple of weeks that he's in office. Now Democrats want to show courage, which, by the way, they hardly ever show. They've tried every political strategy except for just pure old-fashioned courage. But we'll see. All right. The United States is considering COVID-19 testing requirements if you want to travel domestically.

So right now they are considering a rule that would would cry would we cry would require you to do that not just internationally but here in the united states there's an active conversation with the cdc right now and they said that we'll be guided by data by science by medicine and by the input of the people who are actually going to have to carry this out well you know the super ball i want to say this too i think they had those dogs there that were supposed to, I guess, detect COVID. Because there was a bunch of them. I know some of them were bomb-smelling dogs. But then they also said that some of them were supposed to be COVID-smelling dogs.

But I did see them at the Super Bowl. I wonder how you train dogs to smell COVID. I'm very interested in that. I mean, it's the same thing when they get dogs to smell cancer, I believe it is. But I wonder how they get dogs to do that. Yeah. All right. And Delta is still going to block those middle seats on flights through April,

which I feel like is actually the safest airline to travel on right now. JetBlue started filling every seat last month. Southwest stopped capping capacity last December. And American and United did that last summer. Delta is the only airline right now that is still blocking out those middle seats. I feel comfortable with Delta. Yeah.

I rode Delta there and back. Nobody in the middle seat. It was, it was a way safer flight for me. Yeah. I did an American airlines flight a couple of times. Yeah. American.

It felt like Southwest. I'm not going to lie. It just felt like a bus in the sky. Cause it just, you know, I felt like they should have had the middle seat. Cause I did jet blue. I'm always jet blue. Cause felt like a bus in the sky. Because it just, you know, I felt like they should have had the middle seat. Because I did JetBlue. I'm always JetBlue because I'm a mosaic member. So they had the middle seats blocked out. Delta's got the middle seats blocked out.

It just felt weird in the middle of pandemic when everybody's on top of each other on the plane. But I also read that it doesn't matter because it's not good circulation on the plane anyway. So it just makes you feel better that the middle seat is open. Well, yeah, but I'm sure having less people on a plane also does matter. Like there's less of a chance, I guess, the less amount of people there are. No circulation on the plane. So not really. I've read studies that said not really.

It just makes you feel better to think that. Yeah, that's why they tell you to double mask up, especially on a plane. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now.

I was so disappointed. Well, I promise you, as soon as we can, we're going to get back out there. That was one step that we really wanted to make it to. Yes, I can't wait. I will be in there like swimwear. All right. Why do people say that? I don't know.

I know we old, but why did we ever say in there like swimwear? Where was swimwear ever in? The pool? I don't know. Maybe it's just exciting because, you know, if you're putting on some swimwear, it's going to be really dope. Not really. Not for everybody. Hello.

Who's this? Good morning, Envy. Good morning, Sullivan. Good morning, Angela. It's Rick. Rick, what's up, King? What's up, bro? I'm good, man.

I'm good. I'm actually calling for a somber thing this morning. I had a friend of mine. I heard you guys mention JetBlue this morning. I used to work at JetBlue for a long time, and I had a friend of mine, Sean Brooke, a.k.a. Tiny, a.k.a. Slim, who passed away over the weekend. And I just wanted to send him and his family a condolences from all the people that we

know at Deaf School that we used to work together. He was a great guy, hilarious guy, funny guy, one of those people that means you want to go to work every day. He warmed everybody's hearts. He was a really, really good guy. So I just want to say RIP to Sean Brooks, aka Tiny, aka Slim. We love you. We're going to miss you. You were a great guy. You touched all of our hearts. And it's a sad day for me and a sad day for our friends and family. That's horrible, King. For those of you and your family, man.

Sending healing energy to his family, for sure. Yo, you know how you play around when you're up there? You know what I mean? You joke around. I get it because, yo, we work in an environment that was the same way. And, I mean, everybody didn't feel like – he went to work, but he didn't feel like work because, you know, everybody enjoyed each other's company, and he was a major contributor in that.

Yeah, y'all flirted with each other. I don't think Charlamagne's playing, though, Rick. I really don't. He might not. Not after nine anal swabs, but – And not after one of the smell turns J, they don't swab, though. I don't know. Terrence J was minding his business.

He wasn't even playing the game with y'all. That is wild, though. You get nine anal swabs, and the doctor's like, all right, come back. I'm going to smell you later. Oh, my goodness. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Let's go. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. Say it with your chest.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? Jelly Belly from Boston. Jelly Belly. See, we were just talking about people like you, people that shouldn't wear swimwear. Good morning, Jelly Belly.

How are you? What? Nothing. How are you? I'm fine. I'm happy. I'm blessed. How are you guys?

I'm blessed, Black, and highly favored. But real quick, I'm going to get off your line real fast, but I just want to shout out Cameron J. Henderson because I found Starkeesha on Random Structure TV YouTube. Y'all should watch it. We all know it's Starkeisha. What is Starkeisha? On that note, go on YouTube.

You'll find out. This kid is very, very talented. I'm surprised he's not bigger than what he is, but somebody's going to find him. He's very, very talented. Starkeisha. I'm going to look that up. Okay. We know it's Starkeisha.

Just know that. On that note, I want to address not the elephant in the room, but the gorilla in the room, apparently, because she picked a different animal. But I think the girl's name is Tessica Brown. Oh, gosh. Here we go. Well, I saw her name yesterday. Why did that name sound familiar?

Gorilla Glue. Oh, yeah. Gorilla Glue Girl. Yeah. Yeah, Tessica's a messica right now. And I'm praying for her. We're going to talk about that. Yeah, I read her.

I read that she said she might sue Gorilla Glue. And I'm like, how the hell is she going to sue Gorilla Glue for a choice she made? No. No, homie. Homie's messed up. She messed up. She's a mess. It's OK.

She probably knows it's Sakesha. And Sakesha didn't save her from going her head down so I'm praying for her because that's so serious that's one mistake that changed her whole life and I'm praying for her it made me nauseous so we're all praying for her but I'm going to get off y'all's line

y'all stay blessed I have more love to spread to the world so y'all stay blessed thank you mama she's like I gotta go hello who's this this is Nikovi what's up brother get it off your chest into the world. There you go. Thank you, Mama. She's like, I gotta go. Yeah, I gotta go. Hello, who's this? This is Nicole V. What's up, brother?

Get it off your chest. How everybody doing this morning? But yesterday morning, Charlamagne wanted to say that Tom Brady was the greatest white man. I think Michael Phelps is better. You're a damn lie. You're a damn lie. First of all, Aquaman is way better than Michael Phelps. So... Okay, so how many championships Michael Phelps, I mean Tom Brady got by himself?

Michael Phelps got 23 Olympic gold medals, 21 Guinness World Records. Bro, why do y'all act like the degree of difficulty? What has Tom Brady done by himself? First of all, football. He even has help from the refs. Football is a team sport, and the degree of difficulty is very different, okay, than any other sport. Are the refs part of the team?

No. But let me ask you this. What can Michael Phelps do? Hey, what can Michael Phelps do without water? What can Michael Phelps do without water? Without can Michael Phelps do without water? Without water, Michael Phelps ain't nobody. Here's the point, sir. Good question.

What can Michael Phelps do without water, King? Well, thank you so much. I don't want to hear that. What is Michael Phelps on land? Have a good day. Michael Phelps ain't nothing without a pool. Let me ask you a question. What was the conversation?

Who's the best white person of all time? The greatest white man of all time is Tom Brady. And the top five was Tom Brady, Keanu Reeves, Abraham Lincoln, Christopher Columbus, and The Undertaker. Y'all left out Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Hulk Hogan? Nobody cares. Those guys don't count.

That's just money. As the greatest white guys of all time, they created the phones that everybody's on right now. No, they didn't actually. A black man created the cell phone, the smartphone. Well, not the iPhone. And what about Hulk Hogan? Oh, yeah.

Boy, they got the Undertaker over Hulk Hogan. Undertaker over Hulk Hogan? You don't put Ric Flair over Hulk Hogan? Hulk Hogan? The biggest wrestler of all time? Ric Flair is no joke. Ric Flair is no joke. Or Steve Austin?

But salute to Henry Thomas Sampson Jr. He's the pioneer in technology that invented what we now call the modern cell phone. And this was just for white people? This question was for white people? Yes, we were just talking about white people. White people didn't say Christopher Columbus? If you're half white, does that count? No.

I'll say Drake. Because if you're half white, then the 50% of you that's black is what causes your greatness. Gotcha. Yes. Okay. And white people didn't call yesterday and say Christopher Columbus? That's all white people. That's all called.

The top Christopher Columbus was in the top five. No, one person said that. It was Tom Brady, Keanu Reeves, Abraham Lincoln, Christopher Columbus, and The Undertaker. That was the top five. Damn. And Jim Carrey had a vote. And Peyton Manning. They didn't throw Donald Trump in there?

Nah. I mean, the bar's already low for white men, so you can't get no lower than Donald Trump because, you know, that's their top five. I really want y'all to do more than just sports and entertainment, white people, and colonize. That's all y'all do? Sports, entertainment, and colonize?

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Naeem, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and Van Jones says that he felt ambushed by the host of The View, according to this report on page six. We'll tell you what happened and we'll explain what his rationale is. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. 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 Laudonia. 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

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. 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. with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand-new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records.

Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama

who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.

Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise listen to historical records on the iHeartRadio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts she's spilling the tea this is the rumor report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, a source told Page Six that Van Jones felt ambushed by hosts of The View. He felt that they were rude and he was completely blindsided by how they questioned him. He was not happy about how the interview went. It was unprofessional, according to this source. Now, Van Jones was on The View.

He was promoting his new documentary, The Reunited States. And here's the question that Sonny Hassan asked. There are those who really accuse you of being a political opportunist who provided a racial cover for President Trump. Yet just recently you cried on CNN when Joe Biden was elected the 46th president. People in the black community don't trust you anymore. What is your response? My entire life has been about bringing people together to solve tough problems for people at the very bottom who don't have anything. At a certain point, we got to stop focusing on rhetoric and look at results. All right. Now, Van Jones was tweeting about the incident and he said, I was there to promote a film about people listening across the lines of difference.

Ironically, the need for the film was made more apparent by some of the co-hosts yeah um that source could be lying because i doubt van jones was shocked van jones has met himself he wakes up to himself every morning like he's fully aware that he receives that that kind of criticism and and you know two two things can be true right like van jones has helped a lot of brothers and sisters get out of prison, you know, and he's done it by being bipartisan and working with Democrats and Republicans. But he can also be someone like that folks don't trust, like Sonny said, because he cozied up to the Trump administration a little too much. And when it came to the Trump administration, you can't play both sides of the fence with that. There was never a time to normalize that administration because nothing about that administration was normal. Now, according to The View, they said producers did tell him they would question him about his flip flopping. to normalize that administration because nothing about that administration was normal now according

to the view they said producers did tell him they would question him about his flip-flopping and so they gave him the chance to address his conflicting political positions and his relationship with trump and they said that he did not complain about his appearance they said this is nonsense none of the producers heard from van after his appearance he more than held his own and clearly you have to be ready for anything when you come to the view oh that's why you shouldn't be replying to just the source who is the source like when you say sources say when people say sources say who the hell is the source i need to know who the source is before i even give that any energy well usually i know at page six when they have a source they try to make sure that source is credible they do do some research

so you know and there's a lot of people speaking out about it. And he was on social media talking about it also. So it did seem like he wasn't too happy with it. Yeah. I've seen Page Six in action sometime. They'll ask anybody and be like, I won't say your name. I'll just say you're a source. Right. And I will say.

But he was tweeting. You could see he wasn't happy about it afterwards. You should know. I mean, he's done these interviews with Mayna one time. He knows how some people feel about him and you know who cares and and i and i will say on the view they called van a political opportunist i think you know number one he's not a politician but all politicians are political opportunists a better name for what van is would be a political d rider like whoever is in power no for real whoever's in power that's

who he's going to ride because he wants to get folks out of prison. And deriding is just a form of transportation that'll never be respected. Right. Well, they call them just an opportunist, not necessarily a political one. They said he's an opportunist. Oh, I thought they said political opportunist. Alright, now Future was wearing some $48,000

sandals that were made out of Birkin bags. Now, that sounds a little crazy, right? But apparently these Birkins were inspired by the Birkenstock project. And they said it was to inspire consumers to question a very specific symbolism associated with the popularity of the bags. They said Birkin bags are like a cultural meme, a symbol for a certain kind of wealth. And if you want to buy those sandals, they range in price from $34,000 to $76,000. The one that he had on was $48,000.

Yeah, it wouldn't be me. That's a lot. I've seen him wearing them. You think those would be worth more later? No. They don't come from Hermes, right? Somebody just redesigned them and cut them up? Yeah, it's a project. But they are real bags. I can't even

pronounce what y'all talking about. Hermes and Beacon. Not herpes, man. Hermes. Whatever. I'd rather... No, I'm about to say. I was about to say that, but let me shut my dumb ass up right now. I wasn't playing. I'm just stupid.

Bow Wow said he's going to be focusing on acting, and he's planning to join the WWE. Now, he tweeted out, I know this might sound crazy, but after I drop my last album, I will focus on TV and film and join in WWE. It's been a lifelong childhood dream to wrestle in the WWE. And so

that's his plan. He said he has to get in shape first, but he's on the way. Bow Wow, Cambry. Bow Wow. What Bow Wow are we talking about? Lil Bow Wow? He said his What Bow Wow are we talking about? Lil Bow Wow? He said his wrestling name is going to be Bow Wow also. I know how y'all feel when I say this about Santa Claus, but wrestling isn't real, guys.

Okay? They conscripted to where Bow Wow wins these matches. All right? Bow Wow does a little practice. He can be really good in the WWE if they want him to be. No, they can't do that. It does take some skill, though, to choreograph those matches. It does take skill, yeah. Those things are choreograph No, they can't do that. It does take some skill though to choreograph those matches. It does take skill, yeah.

Those things, the choreograph and everything. Everybody can't do that. The man could dance if the man can learn choreography for the scream tour. You think he can't learn how to wrestle? Bro, that 350 pound man jump on Bow Wow, little ass, what's gonna happen? What do you mean Floyd Mayweather's been in the ring against guys like the Giant? Y'all don't watch wrestling.

Bow Wow can wrestle. They can stage some matches for Bow Wow. There's definitely a level of skill that comes watch wrestling. Bow Wow can wrestle. They can stage some matches for Bow Wow. There's definitely a level of skill that comes with wrestling. I just saw Snoop jump off the top rope two, three weeks ago. Yeah, he did it one time. Bow Wow wants to be a wrestler. He can learn how to wrestle. All right. Now, Jordan Sparks was talking to people,

and she was discussing having so much time during quarantine that she feels like she can now speak her truth. Here's what she said. Even though I still kind of I put out music and I was still doing stuff. I had a really big writer's block. Not that I would wish lockdown on anybody, but being able to focus on music and feel the process, like the space I'm in with my music. I haven't felt since before Idol, when it was just fun. But there's a beautiful duality in the song, even though I'm reminiscing

on tough times and, you know, things that I went through, there's still a redemption and a hope at the end, you know, because it's like, after finally leaving, I know that you still think of me and that's the tea. All right. It's interesting to see what artists are doing during a pandemic because it can be a time where you finally get to sit down and relax but again you can also you know feel not inspired by not being out and about that's very true some of them artists need to show us some tears when they look at their bank accounts because they ain't been doing those shows and they're blowing their money on jewelry and cars let me see that that's what we really want to witness all right i'm angela yee and that's your rumor report. Oh, and quick correction.

Sonny did call Van Jones a political opportunist. Called him a political opportunist and a chameleon. Okay. You said that, though, right? Yeah, but, yeah. I was reading the thing. The transcription, it said he just said opportunist. No, political opportunist and chameleon.

All right, all right, all right. Well, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about? So this city will pay you a monthly stipend and cost to move there up to $6,000. Would you do it? Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ

Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting you well there's a city in mississippi that will pay you if you actually want to move there now the city of natchez is asking for remote workers across the country to relocate there to their quote charming and historic community for one year the program is called shift south in return they're going to give you $2,500 in moving expenses and a $300 monthly stipend for one year.

That sounds great. It also sounds like an amazing plot for a horror movie. Like you move to this town looking to get a job and a better life and then it's haunted or something. Oh, boy. Well, there's only 30 slots, by the way, and you have to be employed as a remote worker in the United States. This has to be your primary residence,

and you have to purchase a home also. So there's a lot to it. Now, the home has to be valued at $150,000 or higher and you have to own and live in it for one year. When I think of Mississippi, I think of like extreme racism. And that says a lot coming from me, coming from South Carolina. But I think about that old movie, Mississippi Burning. You know what I mean?

I just think extreme racism. I think extreme racism when I think Mississippi. And I think David Bannon and Big K. Okay. All right. Now, the parents of a 20-year-old man who committed suicide is speaking out. And they believe, he mistakenly believed that he owed $730,000 to that Robin Hood app. So they are planning to file a wrongful death suit against

Robin Hood. Now, Alexander Kearns, he was a University of Nebraska student. He had started trading and he ran into problems June 11th. The app put a hold on his account. It showed that he owed $730,000 and that he needed to pay over $170,000 in the coming days. So he thought that things just went crazy. Here is Alex's dad, Dan Kearns, in an interview with the New York Post. He thought he blew up his life. He thought he screwed up beyond repair. And their response was a canned reply. Basically, we'll get back to you later. What do you do with that thought? It haunts me. He said in the note, I didn't want to die. He also said that he was doing this for us because he was trying to save us

from what he thought was impending financial disaster. Do you think if Robin Hood had somebody manning an email account or picking up a phone that Alex would be here today? Absolutely. Yeah. He just wanted an answer. Damn. And by the way, that was CBS this morning.

So anyway, what happened was he had been trading options rather than stocks. So that negative balance was a temporary amount that was showing until the options settled to his account and there was no customer service number. So he emailed Robinhood three times. He got an automated response and it said that reps would get back to him when they could. And the next day he ended up killing himself. He stepped in front of an oncoming train and he left a suicide note that said, how was a 20 year old with no income able to get a sign with almost a million dollars worth of leverage? And so the sad part is that the app actually did get back to him the day after his suicide. They said, great news. We're reaching out to confirm that you've met your margin call and we've lifted your trade restrictions. Man, I feel so sorry for that, brother. I hate hearing

people make permanent decisions off of temporary feelings. Like I wish somebody would have spoke lifted your trade restrictions. Man, I feel so sorry for that, brother. I hate hearing people make permanent decisions off of temporary feelings. Like I wish somebody would have spoke to him and let him know it's perfectly okay to be in debt. It's the American way. Okay. Like it is like, I don't care. Like I know pressure. I've had pressure from Owen, you know, drug dealers, the Owen landlords. It is what it is. Life continues. And there's nothing more stressful, man, when you have those people who have to collect debt calling your phone,

sending notices to you. That can be so stressful. That's why I always tell people when it comes to finances, you do need to address those issues and try to work out solutions instead of avoiding it because it just piles up. And the stress that you feel every time your phone rings, every time some mail comes, it's super stressful.

Trust me, I know. People got to understand, it's the American way. I mean, you look at people that have debt, they file bankruptcy, and they're the richest people in the world. It's the American way. You can't let it stress you out-ish happens. That's right.

You got to think of it like this, right? When they get it, when you get it, they get it. Just think of it like that. And that's what I was going to say. If I don't got it, then I don't got it, when you get it, they get it. Just think of it like that. And that's what I was going to say. If I don't got it, then I don't got it. So you can call me a million times. We just stressing each other out. But when I get it, you'll

get it. Until then, I'm just in debt. I'm in the red. But a lot of times you can negotiate things. Like even if they send you to a collection agency, if you just speak to them, you can negotiate a lower price to pay. You can do a payment plan. I'm just saying that to anybody who's stressed

out right now. Just address the issue instead of just running from it because that is super stressful every single day when you're avoiding those phone calls. Just try to work something out. That's why I feel so sorry for the brother because it really was a permanent decision based off a temporary feeling. That is the American way. That too shall

pass. And guess what? If it don't, it is what it is. You can't take from me what I don't got. I can't give you what I don't got. It just is what it is. Alright, well that is your Front Page News. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. Now when we come back Kirk Franklin will be joining us.

Charlemagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy. And we have A really good brother Zooming in With us this morning

He goes by the name Of Mr. Kirk Franklin Kirk what's happening My brother I love the good brother It sounds like I feel like I need To have a robe on

You know what I'm saying Like Like with a big old Gold cross My brother My brother You are a good brother Though Kirk

Nothing wrong with that Well thank y'all Thank y'all man Thank y'all for having me Man it's so good To see y'all One more time Gold Cross, my brother, my brother. You are a good brother though, Kirk. Nothing wrong with that. Well, thank y'all. Thank y'all, man. Thank y'all for having me, man. It's so good to see y'all one more time. Yes, sir. And happy belated birthday to you also. I know you're a January baby and you just celebrated.

Yeah. Yeah, man. And wifey let me check into, I just want to spend a night in the hotel and eat room service. We don't have a TV in our bedroom at home. So I don't get to lay in my drawers and just watch TV and just eat cereal. So I checked your hotel and I just laid in my drawers. I had maybe like a sock on and just ordered room service and just laid in a bed, man.

And I loved it. That's interesting to me. Why do you not? I had a conversation about this over the weekend about having a TV in the bedroom because a couple of my friends were saying they don't have TVs in their bedroom and they don't think it's a good idea. Why don't you have a TV in the bedroom?

Because I have to have one. It's my wife. She beat me up about it. And I humbled myself and allowed her to have what she wanted. And now I get it. But it's difficult because you're right, man. But it's like most of our marriage, we had a TV. And this has been just like the last five years.

And I miss a TV, man. I miss Saturday morning cartoons and just laying in the bed, man. And so, you know, y'all pray for me, man. Y'all pray for me because I'm going through. So hold on. I'm going through. You checked into a hotel by yourself just to eat cereal? Yes, Charlamagne.

Do you have a TV in your bedroom, Charlamagne? Yes, I do. Well, yeah, I just sold one crib, but the new crib I'm moving in, I'm not doing a TV for mental health reasons, but yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It was one thing that my therapist told me that was also good as well, because, you know, you and I are just allies when it comes to black men in therapy. You know, that's something I've always talked about and preached.

But yes, Charlemagne, I checked into a hotel so I can lay in my drawers and eat cereal. What kind of cereal? I'm glad you didn't say what kind of drawers. That's the next question. How did you see the question? I'm going to assume you had Fruit of the Looms. Are they tighty-whities? Are they boxers?

Are they boxer briefs? Well, you know, well, first of all, I can say that these sheets were so nice that I, uh. You was free. I get even. Yes. Bear about it. Bear about it.

Okay. Yeah. Okay. All right. Let's get it. You still ain't tell us what cereal though. I need to know what cereal. Honey nut Cheerios.

Okay. I just want to make sure you wasn't sinning. But what? Like what? What kind of cereal would be sinning? If you'd have said something with a lot of sugar. Honey Nut Cheerios doesn't have a lot of sugar, though. But if you'd have said something with a lot of sugar,

I would have said you were sinning. Yeah, well, yeah. Well, then just pray for me. And by the way, happy anniversary. I saw that you and Tammy celebrated 25 years together. She's an incredible soldier, man. And Tammy makes life such a beautiful thing to be able to celebrate and enjoy an incredible woman

that just is a rock, man. Tammy's a rock and she's this incredible mother. She's an incredible friend. And I really look up to Tammy. Along with that, I saw Tyrese posted under that celebration and people were talking about that. Have you spoken to Tyrese? I know you guys are cool, but he also left his own comment because of his own marriage not working out and the divorce that he's going through. Yeah. Well, no, I have not talked to him since that incident, but you know,

yes, he is my brother. And I hate when anybody has to go through a public divorce, but when people fall out of love and when people don't like each other anymore, sometimes as humans, we can be so self-centered on what we want that we have to understand that the emotion of love has nothing to do with the fact of love. And so love has to be a truth before it becomes a feeling because feelings have no intellect. They connect themselves to whatever thought is taking place at that moment. And so if you live your life just based on how you feel, you will always be living in this state of never having a solid foundation because your feelings are always in and out. Is that something you have to do in a long-term relationship? Like just go check into a hotel by yourself

or just go take some time for yourself? Is that like a key? Well, you know, that was the first time I've ever done anything like that. And I wanted to do it because I'd been so busy running, just like all of y'all, you know. Sometimes you find yourself in the pandemic working more than you did before the pandemic,

you know, because everybody's at home. And so there's a lot of requests and a lot of pull. And then you have to find yourself trying to be the inspiration for so many other people. But I do think one of the best secrets of a long-term relationship, Charlemagne, is that you've got to marry the homie. That's right.

Sometimes it's men. It's all the physical attributes that we chase after. And that don't make a happy home. You know, breast and booties don't make a blessing, you know? And so it's just something that, yeah, do you want me to say it again? Yes, sir. Say it again, sir. Say that line again, sir.

Breast and booty don't make a blessing. There you go. That was horrible. Oh, my gosh. No, you're right, though. What about if your partner's not affectionate anymore? And then you feel like you're starving for affection. I've been hearing this a lot.

And you feel like you're alone. Because I feel like there's nothing worse than when you're in a marriage or a relationship, but you feel alone still. Yeah. So how do you resolve that when that can't work out? Great question. Great question. And I think that the pandemic has put so much pressure on marriages and relationships. So I would say, first of all, what you have to do is that a lot of times in love, it is so much of a call of sacrifice. And so if you are in a relationship with someone who's not being able to be affectionate and very plugged in, it is probably because privately they're probably struggling privately as well with some depression or some hopelessness. So a lot of times it may just be just turning on some fun music and just doing some silly dancing. And you for a season may have to be the light that shines bright, not the complainer, not the nagger, but you are the light

in the relationship. Because sometimes relationships for a man can be very heavy. Why don't you talk to me? Why are you not saying nothing? Why are you not doing this? And so for a man, it's like, oh my God. But if you can try to make the environment just a little bit lighter, that allows that man to catch his breath and try to figure out what to say to be able to communicate what you've been needing the whole time. You know, every time you do the Breakfast Club, Kirk, you drop jewelry like that, you know what I mean? And it really inspires people.

And that's why when I saw that you had a new podcast, Good Words with Kirk Franklin today, it just made so much sense to me. So is this what your podcast series is going to be about? Well, first of all, man, that is very humbling because I know you guys have hitters on here all the time. And I'm just grateful to be able to, you know, to just be a part of that continuum. But yes, sir. My podcast, Good Words, it was it was it was something that's kind of fell in my lap. I'm very grateful for it. And it's a conversation where culture and faith have this collision, because rarely do you hear people like Pharrell, Chance the Rapper, Glennon Doyle, Her, Kelly Rowland, Chris Paul, and so many others

having a conversation about how their faith got them through in this cultural uh construct yeah because we're talking about how they are successful but in the private lives where they pull when they're in their darkest moments hi we got more with kirk franklin when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Kirk Franklin. Charlamagne? Is Kirk Franklin planning on retiring anytime soon? 13 studio albums.

You know, Chance, I was watching Tom Brady. And I just saw how that brother continued to move and to just show excellence at his age. And I think that we're not called to ever end. I think that we're called to go through different transitions and different seasons. But to walk away from something that you're passionate, still passionate about, I think, is not your right to do. Because we are owners of nothing, but we're managers of everything. And so all I am is a steward of my gift and book so if i'm a steward then i can't tell the boss when i want to check out so you called me chance i don't know who the hell chance is you meant chance to rap chance the rapper he probably think about chance the rapper because chances on the is i called you chance yes you did yeah he's like no chance

you muted us Because he cursing. He muted so he could curse. I'm playing sad music. I'm sorry. I just want to say I'm sorry. I want to say I'm sorry to Charlamagne.

I'm sorry to Charlamagne. I'm sorry. Charlamagne. I'm sorry. Well, Kirk, you been smoking on that burning bush this morning, huh? You're so dumb. He's using that. You're so dumb. Now play that and make that a song.

That's not right. You're so dumb. That burning bush, You're so dumb. That's Burke and Bush and Moses. So dumb. But you are at your 26th career anniversary. I mean, you're critically acclaimed. I think like 40-plus awards. Does any of that even matter to you anymore?

Like when I think of people like you, just like with Tom Brady, I'm like, damn, what more can Tom Brady do? What's the drive? First of all, and I want to make sure that people know, I'm not trying to compare myself to Tom Brady.

I was talking about age. That was Charlamagne. But no, that is inspiring. What Brady is doing is inspiring. It is inspiring. And I think that it has to do, though, Charlamagne, is that a lot of people

have never connected passion with their purpose. And so many people it has to do, though, Charlemagne, is that a lot of people have never connected passion with their purpose. And so many people, so many people like I'm going to be talking to Matthew McConaughey this week. And I want to talk to him about because there's a book called Green Lights. And I want to talk to him about what do you do to people that live in these marginalized environments that systemically have never allowed for them to see as many green lights as you have, you know, because some of us live in communities will always see a red light. And so when you have people who don't have jobs that they love, they've never tapped into a career, they've never tapped into purpose, not because they're not dreamers, but because they live in environments that they're always treading water. They come from communities that you don't see hope. You don't see purpose. And so for me, is that I think that because of

me being adopted, me being abandoned, me having low self-esteem, me being beat up so much as a kid, me never having purposes that there's a part of me that I can be very honest with y'all. A lot of what drives me is I don't want to be abandoned. It's I don't want to be thrown out. It's I don't want to be let go. And so because of that, there's a drive in me that abandonment is that little boy. It's a lot of times my motivation. You said that's a book is called Greenlight. It's Matthew McConaughey's book. Oh, that's his book. That's interesting. That's his book. And so I'm going to ask that question.

What do people that come from marginalized areas and people that don't live in these environments that even birth green light? Because the neighborhood I came from, all I saw were traffic lights, you know, or railroad lights. And those are real things that that's why I get sometimes so pissed off when I see a lot of these people that try to do the motivational talking. And they're like, you know, during the pandemic, you need to be dreaming or you know what? You are lazy because you're not doing this. You're not seeing the opportunity. Let me tell you something. Some people are just trying to rise just over depression.

Sometimes just getting out of the bed can make your body ache. There's so many people that have so many negative relatives. Like, can you even imagine being part of a community that being told to go to college, you think you better than us. I mean, there are some kids that grew up in families where even when they want to go to school, they're made fun of, they're talked about. And so some people don't have to go through that. There's some people of different skin tones that never have to go to certain levels of negativity that we've had to face, even sometimes from our own. And so when you talk about that, we need to be doing this. You need to be dreaming. You need to be out here at season. You need to be a boss. You need to be an entrepreneur. Now,

there's some people that can be great that work for someone else and you can still be great. Everybody ain't got to have their own business to be great. You're great because God said you're great. Man, you said something, Kirk, earlier, man, that really struck with me because you said that you have a fear of being abandoned, right? And I think sometimes, man, you got to build things, I guess, that are bigger build things i guess that are bigger than you or things that are gonna outlast you like i don't think you could ever be abandoned kirk because music is timeless my brother you know what i mean and people people people may forget what you did but they'll never forget how you made them feel them records gonna live forever

my brother like i don't i don't i don't see how you could ever be abandoned. You're solidified already. Well, first of all, you're very kind. Thank you. I guess I was sharing about the energy that you still drive from. And I'm talking about that behind closed doors, the energy that continues to push you

is that you remember how that feels. For some people, it's they remember when they were broke. And so they don't ever want to be broke again. And so for people, it's they remember when they were broke. And so they don't ever want to be broke again. And so for me, it's not the money as much as it is the marriage of feeling like that it's important for me to belong. And so that belonging is what drives me. I've heard people say that they've had situations where they would be waiting for their dad to come pick them up and their dad would never show up.

So it was hard for them to ever feel excited about anything because they never felt like it was going to happen. And there's so many things from your childhood and your past that do weigh in on how you act today. So I feel you on that. All right. We got more with Kirk Franklin when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Kirk Franklin. Charlamagne? What should we be looking forward to in 2021, Kirk? What did 2020 teach us and prepare us for that we should be bringing into this new year? First thing is that every lesson not learned will be repeated. And I think that this

lack of compassion and empathy that we continue to show each other, even in our own villages, is something that we've got to be able to address. I think that the church has got to have some house cleaning meetings, is that there's some dirty rooms that if we want people to come, that we got to get the rooms right. And so I think that the last four years has shed some light on some ugly areas that men and women of faith seem to profess. And one of the biggest things is that this weaponized version of Christianity and Jesus are not synonymous. And so we've got to be able to address those things. I think that faith and people that want to be able to proclaim a faith, that we're going to have to get out of our walls and worlds, and we've got to be able to put our faith on trial. That people that don't believe,

they have the right to ask us the hard, difficult questions. And if we want to be lights in the world, then we got to address our own darkness, because I can tell you right now, some of the actions of a lot of Christians, it can be embarrassing. And if we want to be better ambassadors, we've got to be able to quietly in love and compassion with no judgment. We've got to address some of these private sins that have always plagued people of faith. We talk about not judging, but I saw like, you know, Pastor Todd, and I respect Pastor Todd. I saw him the other day telling women not to do the silhouette challenge. And I'm like, is it really that serious? I agree with you. Pastor Mike Todd is a very dope guy, and I think he's

one of the greatest young voices of our time. This is what I believe about judging, is that the truth is, we all judge. Yes. We judge what restaurant we're going to go to. We judge what clothes we're going to wear. We judge what movie we're going to watch. We judge that movie after we watch it. We judge that restaurant after we eat there. And what we have to understand about a Biblical-centric approach to judgment, as God's word would be able to lay it out, is that my judging of something is to be able to win it back to the position of healing and reconciliation. So if I'm saying that a certain choice that you've made in your marriage or a certain choice you're making with drinking or with drugs is something that is not in your best interest, I'm trying to make that judgment to win you, to win you back. So men and women that have a judgment to condemn, trying to condemn another individual is not biblical judgment. It is all about that. I'm trying to be able to save and win you back to win you back to a place of community and healing and

family. But if I'm judging you to try to put you on an Island by yourself, then that's not biblical judgment. I hope that makes sense. No, that makes perfect sense. Cause I, cause I think a lot of times that turns people off, you know what I mean? Like it turns you off. Like I'm just having a little fun with the silhouette challenge. The only thing, the problem with the silhouette challenge is they've done that thing where

they can now like reveal what you really look like. So it is something that's the only thing that people got to be careful of. Did you see that? They did this hack where you can actually see the silhouette with and so people were getting caught out there like that but oh wow I think as long as yeah as long as you leave a little something on you're good to go I think they're very entertaining so what I will never show my body in the silhouette challenge I want to is is because I think that I'm so fine that I just don't want to make a lot of people. Yeah. Oh, and we do want to thank you also for being part of iHeartRadio's Living Black Experience.

Kirk Franklin has participated in that also. So we're excited to see you on there. And once again, man, I'm just thankful for this opportunity because I know that it's like Roddy Rich, 21 Savage, it's Jermaine Ako, and then, you know, the church kid. And so, you know, that's just always humbling for me whenever I'm getting a chance to show how dope God is in these platforms. And I think that you're going to really love the performance because we really did something different. It's got a little creativity to it. And I'm just always enjoying the opportunity that I can bring the conversation of God in ways that you can enjoy it, that you can bounce to it. You can bop to it and that you can catch a vibe. And so that's my whole, that's my whole mode. All right. Well, Mr. Franklin, could you,

could you end us in a little prayer? Cause we all could use some extra. Before you, before you end, tell us where we can cast the podcast podcast good words with kurt franklin tell us where we can catch it at february 9th i know it's a debut but just give us some more information yes yes yes you can catch the podcast on every platform but what would you guys like is are there any areas that you would like for us to really pray for specifically healing thing happening in the community healing healing always healing nutrition healing nutrition well mental wellness all of that beautiful god i want to thank you for just this incredible moment that we can have this conversation and know that you are our source our jobs and everything else are just resources but you are the source so when our jobs close and when other doors close, you as a source can always create another resource because you are never empty of providing for your children.

And in your provision, we're asking you to provide this country with the deepest level of healing that we know can only come from you. Because in our hearts, so many of us as by nature God, at times we admit we can be selfish, we can be self-centered, and we can be all about ourselves. But Lord, give us the supernatural power to be other-centered, to be other-focused, to realize that when my brother is not well, the body is not well. And so, Father, help us to see our lives through your lens, because it is only in you, since you created us all, can we be able to have the deep level of empathy and compassion that can only come from above, because we cannot legislate morality. And so no law can be passed to change the hate and hardened hearts that we have as people.

Only you can give us the spirit of love that goes deeper than any party. Because, Father, we want to be where you are. And so, Father, I ask that you continue to show us that we've got to be good stewards of these bodies, these minds, because they're all alone. None of it is permanent. It's all temporary. So while we're here, help us to be good stewards of what we have, how we eat, how we live, how we serve, how we sleep, how we rest, that it is all bringing you glory. And Father, I just pray, I just pray that we can make sure and teach us how to be able to put our eyes back on you. Forgive us for our sins. Forgive us, Lord, for all the mistakes that we've made in your name. Forgive us, Lord, for using

your pulpit as a place of punishment. Help us to be able to teach grace and mercy because, Father, without you, I would be lost. And start with me. It is your amazing grace that saved my soul. Thank you for sending us your son, Jesus Christ, to be the light of the world. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. That's right.

Kirk Franklin, new podcast, Good Words with Kirk Franklin. Thank you, my brother. Always a pleasure. No, brother. Thank y'all so, so much. I appreciate you. Yes, sir. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club.

Well, rest in peace to Mary Wilson. She's one of the founding members of the Supremes. And she was at her home in Henderson, Nevada when she passed away. And it was suddenly, according to a statement from her longtime friend and publicist, Jay Schwartz. You all know her from The Supremes. Where did our love go? Baby love, come see about me. Stop in the name of love.

So rest in peace and condolences to her family. Rest in peace. Rest in peace. Right. And she also was raising awareness about HIV and AIDS. She was encouraging world peace. She was a humanitarian. She was a best-selling author, a motivational speaker, all of that.

So, again, our condolences to the family. Yes, my mother loved the Supremes. When my daughter and my niece were really, really young, she would always play Baby Love. Baby Love. Yes, they would love that song when they were like two, three years old. My parents as well. Love that. Love the Supremes. Supremes and Tentations in my house.

All right, YFN Lucci has been released from jail on bond $500,000. But there's a lot of limitations, but I'm sure he's happy to be out. They said he's happy to be free. There's actually video footage of him getting released. But there's a long list of rules.

He has to surrender his of rules he has to surrender his passport he has to wear an ankle monitor while living in an undisclosed location he needs to be at that location between 7 p.m and 7 a.m the only thing he can do outside those hours is meet up with legal counsel for his case take care of medical appointments and see his kids he cannot have contact with any alleged victims witnesses or, or co-defendants, nor can he associate with known gang members or convicted felons. He cannot post on social media, and the bond was negotiated and

finalized, so he is somewhere right now, but not in jail. I never understood that. Like, when they give you a bond, but they say you're innocent and you're proven guilty, but then they don't allow you to work because you can't work because you can't leave the house. So I don't understand how that that that works all the time. All I know is that social media is going to be tough for him because I saw him on social media yesterday.

I don't think it was him. It wasn't on his page. He wasn't posting. But even still, his friends, his friends got to be careful with that because they don't know. You know what I mean? That's monitoring him. Don't know. Well, they know it's not his page. Like I know young boy. One of his rules was that he wasn't allowed to post on social media for a period of time. So other people can post you. You just can't post on your own page. That's going to be very tough for a young man.

And they're paying attention to what you're doing. But if you have a choice between being in jail or not posting on social media. Yeah, you're definitely not going to post. Yeah, but you're speaking from a perspective of a 40-something-year-old person who knows better. It's very difficult for these kids. I hope he does does it but you know well so why do they take that away though i never understood why they take the social media away because people be beefing on social media it's all kinds of things and then it also might let people know where you are obviously that's part of the issue too he's at an undisclosed location right now there's recording studios that

he's not allowed to go to so i'm sure they want to make sure people can't see where you are because you see people post on social media and then other people can see where you're at. So they got him in the house, but he can't record. So you just got to sit there, but he's supposed to be innocent into proven guilty. Well, I'm sure he can record wherever he's staying. He just can't go to the studio. So if you have stuff set up at home, you can do whatever you want. Got you. All right. Now, Kiki Wyatt is facing some backlash, as we know. And this is all because of an interview that she did. Now, Milan Christopher posted this live stream, and he's trying to explain to her the years of oppression that Black people have faced. And she brings it to other communities facing issues as well. Here's what happened.

I'm getting upset and my husband doesn't like it. So I'm going to excuse myself because you are so pro-Black and it's okay to be pro-Black. Well, if you're not even letting me talk, so I don't even understand where you are because I feel like you're being sarcastic. I'm not being sarcastic.

So can you let me talk? You have to understand Black people are not the only people that have been oppressed jewish people have been oppressed i'm biracial damn it we're in the press because black people that made us feel like white people make us feel like you don't know their life why she's screaming so much i don't know why she's so loud? She has since yesterday gone on Fox Souls Cocktails with Queens, hosted by Claudia Jordan. And she has gotten all choked up about it and actually recanted some of what she said earlier. Listen to this.

I want my sisters to know that I love them. And I am sorry down to my damn bone marrow. If I hurt, here I go. It's all right. Hold on. I did not mean to diminish our Black culture at all. And I love you guys because you guys have been behind me in my career. All right.

So Selena Johnson, who's good friends with her also, was trying to explain that Kiki just misspeaks sometimes and gets very passionate. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to? You know, it's this

news reporter named Matthew Donaldson. I think his name is Matthew Donaldson. Maybe it's Michael Bolton. What's his name? Michael Donaldson. We need Michael Donaldson to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. Just always remember that they all look alike is a very racially loaded phrase.

We'll discuss that. Why did you throw Michael Bolton into it? He's just minding his business. Well, our white people look alike to me since we all look alike to me. We'll discuss that. My goodness. All Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. 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 and 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am 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 Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

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

So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records.

It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families

called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap is another one gone. Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin,

a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.

Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed question. So like a donkey. Keyhole. Donkey of the Day. The Practice Club, bitches.

Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but Donkey of the Day is a new one. Everybody look alive. Okay, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, February 9th goes to a sports reporter named Michael Donaldson. I don't know what outlet Michael Donaldson works for. I just know he's a sports reporter who was on a post-game video conference call. The game I'm talking about is the Super Bowl. Now, let's be clear. It is the ninth day of Black History Month.

Drop on the clues bombs for Black History Month. Damn it. Black History Month is a time where folks remember important people and events in the history of African-Americans. But I often wonder how will they ever remember our history when they can't even remember our present? What are you talking about, Charlemagne? Uncle Charle, Lenard, what do you mean they can't remember our present? Well, number one, I said what I said. Number two, I meant what I said for a number of reasons. And let me rephrase. They know our history history they just bank on you not knowing your history that's why they teach us what they want us to know about us and everything else you have to figure out on your own that's why reading is so fundamental but once again they will never

respect or remember our true history because they don't respect and remember the history we make it now case in point today's donkey michael donald. Now, I know on Sunday we were celebrating the greatest white man of all time, Tom Brady. But like most white men, Tom Brady's greatness is assisted by the greatness of black people because Tampa Bay has four black coordinators. OK, assistant head coach, run game coordinator, Harold Goodwin, special teams coordinator, Keith Armstrong, defensive coordinator, Todd Bowles and and offensive coordinator Byron Lefwich. Yes, that defense that shut down that high-powered Kansas City Chiefs offense led by Todd Bowles, black man. That offense that put 31 points on the board Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs led by Byron Lefwich, black man. First team ever with black people holding all three of those positions to advance to the Super Bowl. That is black history.

And it should be a much bigger story being that, you know, it's black history. Also have two women coaches. OK, assistant defensive line coach Lori Locas and assistant strength and conditioning coach Marrell Jadifa. I hope I pronounced your last name right. But drop on the clues bombs for the most diverse coaching staff in sports. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I salute you. OK, but back to Michael Donaldson and the lack of respect he has for black history. See, black history was made Sunday, and Michael Donaldson had the privilege, okay, should I say the black privilege, of speaking with Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Lefwich, a man who most sports reporters should know. I mean, he was one of the top 10 picks in the 2003 NFL draft.

He won a Super Bowl as a backup quarterback with the Steelers in 2008. And if you don't know him for anything else, you should know that you are talking to the offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who just won the Super Bowl. Okay, offensive coordinator Byron Lefkowitz, not Brian. Byron, and he will correct you. Listen. We'll begin today's media availability with Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach,

Brian Lefkowitz. Byron. Byron. Stop. Stop. Byron, not Brian. Okay, but back to Michael Donaldson. Keep in mind, Tampa Bay has a black man offensive coordinator,

and they have a black man defensive coordinator. But I guess to Michael Donaldson, we all look alike. Listen. First question will come from michael donaldson hey coach great win congratulations tonight thank you going into the game what was your number one goal on the defensive side to to shut my homes down shut that high power offensive down shut my home down i think you got the wrong guy i had nothing to do with that that was dog oh you got the wrong guy

it's such a trigger for me when white people don't know the difference between black people two things to remember black people about black people we are not monolithic and we all don't look alike it's disrespectful do you know how many times white people have told morris chestnut they love him on the breakfast club shut up you know how many times white people have come up to me and told me I should have ran in a zigzag when the dude in the red Hyundai pulled up in Boys in the Hood? This is so disrespectful. Zero. This is so disrespectful that Michael Donaldson didn't even bother to research

what black coach he was talking to from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Listen to it again. Just listen. First question will come from Michael Donaldson. Hey, Coach. Great win. Congratulations tonight. Just listen. First question will come from Michael Donaldson. Hey, Coach. Great win. Congratulations tonight.

Thank you. Going into the game, what was your number one goal on the defensive side to shut Mahomes down, shut that high-powered offensive down? Shut Pat Mahomes down? You think you got the wrong guy? I ain't had nothing to do with that. That was Todd. That nervous white laughter. Michael Donaldson thought he was talking to defensive coordinator Todd Bowles

when he was talking to offensive coordinator Byron Lefkowitz. Byron better than me because I would have made him super uncomfortable and said, you got the wrong nigga. Okay? Do you even know the nigga you're looking for? Michael would have replied, I'm not looking for any nigga. I mean, I am. I mean, oh, God.

Oh, God. See, this this ladies and gentlemen okay white people do stuff like this all the time and this is exactly why i purposely never ever get the names of the beatles right envy ask me who the members of the beatles are uh who are the members of the beatles elton john sting um keanu reeves and john travolta you got it i know you got it i purposely will tell a white person that Justin Bieber was always my favorite member of NSYNC. You have to be disrespectful and passively, aggressively racist on purpose, just like

some of them do. Okay. I am not Michelle Obama. Michelle says when they go low, we go high. No. When they go low, I tell them that Dolly Party parton not be author was my favorite golden girl oh yes dolly parton barbara scryson be author and vanna white were the cast of the golden girls see sometimes you have to disrespect people to let them know you was being respectful the whole time

okay you know why this is dangerous because they all look like me often applies okay when the police are looking for a black male suspect all All right. The problem is all black males look suspect to some white people, which often puts us in the position that brothers like former tennis star James Blake was in when he got tackled by a white New York City police officer because he looked like a black man suspected of credit card fraud. They all look alike to me as a racially loaded phrase that haunts us in school, the workplace, and now the coaching ranks of the NFL. This is why you have to purposely tell people you hope Chris Pratt returns to play Captain America in the MCU. OK, Hillary Duff, Hillary Swank, Hillary Clinton, only Hillary I acknowledge is Hillary Banks. All those other Hillary's I just named can't tell them apart. One of them was on Breakfast Club when she was running for president and had hot sauce in her bag. I don't remember

which one it was. The moral of the story is Michael, all black people don't look alike. Please give Michael Donaldson the biggest hee-haw. That's all I'm saying. That's all. It's rough out here, man.

You'd be like, all black people It's rough out here, man. You know what I'm saying? We'd be like, oh, black people look alike. Like, come on, man. You think I want to be walking through the airport and hear people say, Morris, Morris. Nobody said no damn, Morris. More like Joe. Yo, Joe. R&B singer Joe.

That's never happened. Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585. Joe, wish he looked like me and Morris Chestnut, okay? Shut up. 800-585-1051. Have you ever been confused? Somebody thought you was somebody else.

Envy, you got a story. Remember when you got confused for Drake? Or was it one of the DeBarges? Which one? Well, both, actually. I got confused for Drake before. I've got confused for one of DeBarges. I've got confused for Barack Obama.

Barack never happens When I got my beard, Joe Buttons and Carlos Boozer I definitely can see Joe Buttons all in you Carlos Boozer for sure It depends, when he got too much Beijing Definitely Carlos Boozer Alright, so let's open up the phone

That is true. I remember when the Breakfast Club first started and they used to say it was me DJing Miss Info. That is a fact. Actually, and part of it is because

before we started this show, I was the last person to sign on and so the rumor was that Miss Info was joining the show. Got you. Even in perceptuals, you know, in radio, they do perceptuals, and they ask, you know, who are the members of the Breakfast Club? And oftentimes, they say

DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Morris Chestnut. They have never said that ever. That has never happened. No one's ever said that. Don't do that to Morris Chestnut, man. All right. 805-85105-1. Who have you ever been confused for?

We know Charlamagne was, you know, they called him DMX at one time. They called him Joe. So we're asking 805-85105-1. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time. Morning, everybody. It's D.E.J.

Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking. Who have you been mistaken or confused for by white by white people it's very important that we note that because this comes out of a donkey of the day i gave donkey of the day to this guy michael donaldson who confused byron lefkowitz offensive coordinator for the tampa bay buccaneers with the defensive coordinator for the tampa bay buccane, Todd Bowles, who is also black. This is something white people do all the time.

I've seen white people confuse DJ Envy for Young M.A. That's just disrespectful on a million different levels. Okay? And I remember people have mistaken. They have mistaken Charlamagne for Nelson Ellis from True Blood. He played Lafayette. Never. It's always.

All I ever get is when I'm walking through airports sometimes, if they don't know who I am, they be like, yo, when y'all doing another best man? You know what I'm saying? No, that's not true. Like I really love the best man. That's true. You know what I mean? People said Morris, they said, one person said Morris Chestnut, I would have to say, but most people say Joe.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And also DMX. DMX Chestnut. I have seen people call Charlamagne Morris Walnut. Listen, whatever makes them feel good about Mistaking me for Ricky from Boys in the Hood You know what I'm saying? I take it as a compliment That Morris Chestnut

People say he looks like me, that's a compliment To me And there was this meme that used to go around and people used to always send it to me Like is this Charlamagne? It was like a porn thing And this guy was on his knees naked Yeah, I tell everybody yeah that was him I'm like yeah he's wild boy That's never happened the only time i've ever dropped to my knees is when uh that red that red hyundai pulled up and shot me in the chest and i fell to my knees first before i landed

on the ground okay this is getting kinky what about you ye i told you people used to always uh get me mistaken for miss info and she would tell me that too that they would call her angela ye and i think it's just the Asian thing. Explain to people who Miss Info is. Miss Info is a radio personality. She has her own blog and she was on the radio in New York for a while.

Yes. I did mornings with Miss Info when I was on the other station with Miss Jones and she also owns a sneaker store as well. She might have sold it but I'm not sure.

But anyway, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? What's going on?

So that's probably their go-to when it comes to black people. Sherri Shepherd. I would have put Queen Latifah before. You don't look like Queen Latifah. Nah, you ain't got Queen Latifah either. Really? I mean, more than her? I mean, you know.

Definitely more than Sherri Shepherd. Yeah, very pretty woman, hippie at heart. You don't look like Queen Latifah. I don't see Queen Latifah. Yeah, I don't see Queen Latifah either.

bro more like r&b singer joe dmx back day, like that, especially when you were in baggy jeans. Hey, man, hey, man, hey, man. Where's Khalifa Dissey? He looked like DMX. I remember that. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes.

And imagine you're hosting a live stream benefit concert and then they mess up with the teleprompter. Well, this happened to Tiffany Haddish and it got really funny. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.

The Rumor Report. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, this is a strange story, but it looks like Offset lost his Bentley and a car company is taking him to court over it. They said he drew up they drew up a contract with Offset back in May as a repeat customer of theirs. He's a good client. They said he was going to rent a Bentley for a couple of days for just less than six hundred dollars a day. Now, he kept on delaying returning the. And then he just never returned the car.

They said he stopped making payments. His lease was up on July 25th. He didn't return the car and said he just didn't know where it was. I love it. What's the problem? How does that happen? What do you do wrong? How do you lose at Bentley?

I don't know. I mean, it sounds like somebody either stole it or you got to remember that was in L.A. He lives in Atlanta. They got a lot of cars. They have a lot of cars. And that was, I i guess a rental because he was in la but offset got about he must have about 16 cars that he owns in a way you know you got too many cars when you just lose one or forget about it i would love to be that rich that's great when you can just forget a whole bentley you know i mean where is that car where did i put that car if you ever read bobby brown's book

every little step he talked about how him and mike Mike Tyson used to just buy random people's cars. Like they'll see you at the light and just buy your car from you and then just leave it in whatever city they were in. All right. Now, Tiffany had it. She was hosting a concert for Verizon, Verizon's big concert for small business. And their performers like Miley Cyrus, Luke Bryan, her, all of them. And she was about to introduce her. But then I guess they told her to vamp.

Listen to this. When I saw her kill it on the BET Awards, what the does vamp mean, yo? Now, they asked me to vamp. I don't know what vamp means. Elaborate? Maybe that's the word they should have used. Elaborate. But let's continue on, guys.

Please welcome Grammy Award winning superstar and someone I consider a friend, her. Oh, you want more of them? They need more vamps. So hold up on her. Y'all got to communicate with me in proper English. They in my ear. I'm going to keep it 100 with y'all, OK? They want me to be, they told me I need to be more cool. What the f*** does that mean? One thing you're going to get from Tiffany Haddish is Tiffany Haddish. You don't have to worry about her being anybody

but her. And that's why I love her. Well, she said they told her in her air that she was supposed to do a 15 minute stand-up set that she was not prepared for. She said, I was nowhere in the realm of thinking I was doing a 15 minute set. I'm here to host. Why do you think that's so easy? I'm sure that price goes up, too, if you're trying to make me do some stand up.

By the way, I'm a comedian. So if you want me to do 15 minutes, that means I got to give you 15 minutes of a set that I get paid for. You think I'm about to just give that away on live broadcast? Come on, stop. I'm not sure. Man, you do a lot of TV. What the hell is vamp? I of amp i've done tv so it means improvised and i don't like vamping either it's not on the spot that's boy you start to sweating in places you didn't know

you could sweat your forehead your balls it's like come on now like let me but i will say with these live streams sometimes it does get a little shaky like if you're introducing someone that person's not ready happens all you gotta have not ready. They gotta have some type of backup. Like maybe play something else. Stretch! Stretch longer! You put me on live TV and tell me to vamp and stretch and see what happens. Sounds like Envy was doing porn.

It definitely does. You guys are kinky, man. Tiffany Haddish also tweeted out, I just want to say that was one of the funnest, hardest things I have ever done. Thank you, Verizon, for letting me also tweeted out, I just want to say that was one of the funnest, hardest things I have ever done. Thank you, Verizon, for letting me be a part of something so great. All right. Now, Nene leaks, according to reports, and Perez Hilton has this exclusive.

They said that she got dropped by her agent, her manager, and her lawyer. So she's also calling out her manager, Steven Grossman, by name. She fired a warning shot to Bravo as well. She said, you can't turn on your teammate and get away with this. And she added Steve Grossman, Darryl Miller, and Fox Rothschild. She said, suppression, retaliation,

discrimination, unequal pay, devaluation against black women is real. It's painful and it hurts. I will fight for all women's rights. P.S. Fix it. Now, somebody went on Twitter and told her that she tweets about the Real Housewives of Atlanta every Monday after it airs Sunday nights. And she responded, I don't tweet about the show and I don't watch the show.

My concern is black women treatment behind the abuse you do not see, which is very real. Please don't make fun of it. It's very painful. She also went on social media and blasted her team as well. So according to the source, they said the reason behind the whole controversy, it's a matter of accountability. They said Nene has been impossible to work with for a very long time now. I'm genuinely concerned for her mental health. She thinks the world is out to get her and refuses to take accountability for

her actions. Yeah. I mean, it is interesting that none of the other housewives from Atlanta are backing her up or anybody else that is, you know, been on that franchise in the past? I mean, I haven't seen it. Yeah, and she's... Nene says

that she has numerous emails, text messages, group texts from Real Housewives of Atlanta, voice recordings that go back years, and she also says they got paid off, and that's why they haven't said anything. They're scared about losing their job. You mean the other women? Mm-hmm. But the problem is, is on the Housewives of Atlanta

they all argue with each other. So I can't, I'm sure you can't argue with me. You kick my back in on the show and then when the show is over you want me to stand up for you because all, most of the women on there, they argue with each other. But no, what I mean is I don't mean just stand up for her. I'm like her claims of, what is it? Racism and what else?

Just unequal pay, devaluation. Yeah, I would think that, you know, that wouldn't be just a problem she would be experiencing. If that was indeed the system of that show. That's what you said. Yes. Alright, well that is your rumor report. You didn't talk about Bachelor last night, though.

I heard they already have a winner. Nah, they, well, they haven't, nah, they still got like three more weeks left. Listen, I saw online, spoiler alert don't you say it spoiler alert let me tell you who went no you better not you better not

you better not man please you got rid of MJ you got rid of MJ come on spoiler spoiler don't say nothing MJ was toxic in the room

he's spoiling now you know I don't watch the show but they've already said don't you say it don't you do it ruin his day come on

come on I don't want you know what I don't mind ruining MJ's right. I don't want to ruin everybody else. So I'll tell him off the air. He texted me that you don't look like Paula Abdul. You look like Paula fool. So spoiler for you that spoil it. Don't you do it.

All right. I'm off the air. I'm not going to answer your text. I'm blocking right now. The People's Choice mixes up next. Get your request at The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's Black History Month. Who we repping today? Listen, man, we got to give it up for a woman that, you know, has been a Black History Month legend for a long, long, long, long time. The late, great Cicely Tyson. You know, Cicely Tyson transitioned on January 28th of this year. She was actually scheduled to be on The Breakfast Club on February

2nd. And I really wish we had gotten a chance to, you know, have a conversation with her because I'm currently reading and listening to her memoir, just as I am listening to it on Audible. And when we talk black history, man, oh, man, oh, oh man this is a woman who lived it born in 1924 she was alive doing things we talk about in regards to history the harlem renaissance the tuskegee experiment world war ii the civil rights movement jim crow segregation just just to name a few things that she lived through i mean she literally has seen it all and i'm happy that she existed for 96 years on this planet and what what's so interesting is, decorated as she is, as celebrated as she is, as much as she accomplished, she still felt like she had a lot more to do.

In fact, she told Gayle King that shortly before her death. Listen. The Breakfast Club presents a new Black History Month legend. What does it feel like to be 96 and a legend, Miss Legend? I'm amazed every single day I live. Do you feel like you have more to do? Yes, that's why I'm still here. I mean, what my life became is not what I expected. I had no idea that I would touch anybody. When the time comes, what do you want us to remember about you? I've done my best. And that was another new Black History Month legend

courtesy of The Breakfast Club. Man, please go pick up Cicely Tyson's book, Just As I Am. It is truly Black history. Alright, now when we come back, we got the positive note. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God We are The Breakfast Club, good morning

I just want to shout out to everybody that I ran into when I was out in Tampa I had a great time, a lot of people showed me a lot of love I took my son out to the Super Bowl Let me shout out to 7th and Grove, one of the only black restaurants that's downtown. I got a chance to eat their amazing food. Shout out to the people at G5. Had a great time. Shout to Pepsi. Shout out to Derek

He has to have seven anal swab tests before he can return back to work. And then when he comes back to work, Dramos has to administer two anal swab tests to him. And then, you know, we'll smell, we'll smell the results and determine if Envy can be here.

And you know what's weird is that I feel like Envy goes away on purpose so he can get an anal swab. I agree with you. Yee. I was thinking the same thing. That I believe. Oh, that you guys believe that? Now, let me ask you this because, you know, I live by myself but what happens when you come home? Like, do you quarantine from your wife and the kids or how does that work?

Me and Logan's on one side of the house and they're on the other side of the house. Go ahead, baller! Go ahead, baller! You asked, I'm telling you the truth. They're on one side and I'm on the other side of the house. Go ahead, baller. Go ahead, baller. You asked, I'm telling you the truth. They're on one side and I'm on the other side. They go to school, so right now they're going out the house. Nobody's in the house but me and Logan.

Y'all in one wing. They in the other wing. So Logan's not going to school. He's doing school virtually? Yeah, he's doing school virtually. So we'll do that until I think we have to wait until Thursday then we'll take our test on Thursday
