All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what we talking about, Yeezy? Right. The New York City subway shooting suspect was captured. Thank goodness.

And we'll tell you how it all happened. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yeezy? All right, well, the New York City subway shooting suspect was captured, Frank James. He is due in federal court today. Authorities have been looking at evidence that was gathered both in Brooklyn and in Philadelphia, where he was staying right before the rampage. They say he rented a U-Haul in Philly the day before the attack, and then he drove to

Brooklyn. They also said he rented a storage unit at that same facility, and they got several types of ammunition recovered there. They said technology, video canvassing, and getting information out to the public helped get everything solved pretty quickly. Here is what Mayor Eric Adams had to say. We want to protect the people of this city and apprehend those who believe they can bring terror to everyday New Yorkers. And I want to thank everyday New Yorkers who called in tips, who responded, who helped those passengers who were injured. 33 shots, but less than 30 hours later, we're able to say we got him. He damn sure wasn't hiding. Right, right. Well, he allegedly called the police on himself from a McDonald's and he was found just minutes later nearby. He said he had

been seeing himself all over the news and social media. Now here is a witness who actually spotted him walking down the street. And he was walking in the sidewalk here and I see the people walking behind him and he have like bags, small bag. I don't know what he have inside. He brought it on the floor. I was thinking he's gonna do something here frank james is the only suspect in the brooklyn subway attack that left 10 people shot and 19 other people injured they do have surveillance cameras that spotted him entering the subway system turnstiles tuesday morning dressed as a maintenance or construction worker he had on the yellow hard hat he had an orange working jacket with reflective tape and uh he also left behind at the scene the gun extended magazines a hatchet detonated and

undetonated smoke grenades a black garbage can a rolling cart gasoline and the key to that u-haul van that we told you he rented in philadelphia the day before the attack and that key to the u-haul van was uh one of the clues that really helped investigators get to James. They also said that it was a series of life setbacks and anger that led to this happening. He got fired at least twice, moved among Milwaukee, Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York. They said he'd been staying at that Philly apartment over the last few weeks. And that's what we know so far. He had 12 prior arrests in new york and new jersey from

1990 to 2007 that included possession of burglary tools criminal sex act trespassing larceny and disorderly conduct but he had no felony convictions so he was still able to purchase and own a firearm they said the gun using the attack was legally purchased at an ohio pawn shop back in 2011 i was was watching TV news last night and one of the anchors asked a valid question. They said, how can someone be on the internet talking about all the violence they potentially want to do for years online

and nobody investigates, nobody intervenes. And I know you can't police everyone, but these social media sites, these platforms like YouTube, they're the first line of defense against people like this. So they kind of have to be on the job when it comes to monitoring people like this. He was going at everybody.

I said Mayor Eric Adams was saying that they take down music and things that you're not allowed to put up and that are copywritten. Why can't they do the same thing with these YouTube videos and trace those people and get an alert when somebody is posting things like that. Yeah, but you got to go a step farther than just taking down the videos. Go see these people. Get an alert to know that it's there. No, but I'm talking about go investigate these people. Go pull up on

the crib. If I get on this radio right now and I threaten an elected official or threaten any kind of violence, they coming to knock on my door. Yeah, they knocking on your door. He had numerous videos threatening people. I mean, he had a couple of videos. He had your rumor report, and he posted you saying whatever it was on your rumor report,

and he went in on that person. So he had numerous videos of it. Right. But I'm saying, like, you know how they alert you when there's music from a, you know, at least you get the alert that somebody is saying those things. That's how you first even hear about it. And then you can go find them and investigate. And some of videos had you know 50 60 70 80 000 views so i mean it had to be somebody that at least alerted absolutely yeah people definitely had to be reporting them

and listen i don't know if you know you think it was after he got arrested that he got all those views though or before before these are videos yeah he's been on the line for a long time like and i don't know if they have it but they need a division that just monitors people like this. Because clearly this man was mentally disturbed. So it's like somebody should have saw this years ago and taken him off the streets. All right, well, that is your front page news. All right, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

but she sat down with Howard Stern and listened to what her explanation is. She said she was triggered and traumatized. All right, we'll get into that next. This is The Breakfast Club.. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time.

What's going on? Rumor report, rumor report. This is the rumor report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Amy Schumer got a lot of backlash from her remarks. She posted about feeling triggered and traumatized days after Will Smith went on stage and slapped Chris Rock over the joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. And she was on The Howard Stern Show explaining what her reaction was about and why she said that.

It was so upsetting. And people made fun of me for saying that it was traumatizing. But I don't think it was traumatizing for me. I think it was traumatizing for all of us. It was so upsetting. And people made fun of me for saying that it was traumatizing. But I don't think it was traumatizing for me. I think it was traumatizing for all of us. It was. Chris Rock's my good friend.

Like, one of my best friends. And Questlove is also one of my best friends. Like, you know, this is a small town. And the people who live in New York and stay in New York, like, we're close.

And so to see that happen, to see your friend get hit, and then, and also Will Smithith who i've loved and we've all loved forever and you know and i haven't been around much violence it was upsetting for so many reasons you know that's her perspective if she says she's triggered and traumatized and she's triggered and traumatized y'all do realize trauma is a spectrum right like trauma is simply an emotional response to a tragic event like she says she hasn't been around much

violence sadly a lot of us't been around much violence. Sadly, a lot of us have seen too much violence personally and now digitally. So we might be desensitized. Yeah. And she was hosting. And, you know, they also she said she got death threats over her joke about Kirsten Dunst being a seat filler. But you had to let people know that was a joke that we had preplanned. She knew about it in advance. It wasn't offensive. It was. But she said it was so bad, the Secret Service actually reached out to her about it.

I don't know. I guess the word would be triggered. But yeah, you do feel embarrassed for Chris Rock. And I feel embarrassed for Will, too, in that moment. Personally. But that's just me. I don't like to see two black men doing that to each other. Now, you guys remember Jack Dorsey's first ever tweet. Jack Dorsey, who founded Twitter.

That NFT went on sale, right? And it was purchased for $2.9 million last year by crypto entrepreneur Sina Estabi. Do you guys know that it's for sale again? Now, that tweet went on sale as an NFT for now $48 million. So think about it. He bought it last year for $2.9 million. It's on sale now. He listed the NFT for $48 million.

Do you know what the highest offer was so far? What was it? Like $40? It was actually about $280. Yeah. That sounds about right. So let me ask you a question. So now everybody running out to get these NFTs,

he paid all that money for the NFTs and it ain't worth ish? Well, that's what NFTs are all about. NFTs is simply the value I put on something. There's no real value to any of these NFTs. But I've been saying that for the last year. But we know that though. It's the value you put on somebody. Everybody been trying to tell me, no, it's big business and it'll go up and you can use it.

I'm like, that first tweet ain't going to be worth no $29 million. You just don't know. Some people have made a lot of money off of NFTs. Some artists that have created their own art and sold them. And there's people who have definitely done well. No doubt. But once you buy from the artist, the artist gets paid. But what is it worth to you now?

He might not even sell it. He said the deadline I set was over. But if I get a good artist, the artist gets paid. But what is it worth to you now? He might not even sell it. He said the deadline I set was over, but if I get a good offer, I might accept it. I might never sell it. He doesn't know what he wants to do with it. Yeah, if I give you $5 million for something, I gave you $5 million for something. That don't mean it's worth $5 million. So what's the highest offer? About $280.

We should buy it. I'll do $290. Yeah, you want to chip in? I got $60 on it. But Yusuf doesn't have to accept it. So he might not even accept that offer. He might decide to just keep it. If you know what I know, he'll let it go for $290.

That's right. At this point, he better take what he can get. All right? That's a hell of a law. He better take what he can get at this point. Vegas can't be choosers, damn it. That's right. All right.

All right, now Mark. Matter of fact, I'll give him $2081. $2081. $2081, I'll do it. He probably is like, it's not worth me selling it right now. And, you know, the price of the crypto for Ethereum might go up. So part of it is the value of the cryptocurrency. Where is that right now?

Well, don't come back here this time next year and ask me for more money. I'm going to tell him wear a mask. Wear a mask. I don't even know why. I'm just going to say wear a mask. All right. Mark Wahlberg is talking about his movie Father Stew. And he said that he actually had to stop going to church because he kept getting pitched movie ideas in some of these churches.

He told Insider that he said, I would literally move around from church to church because I would get pitched a lot. I'm not at church looking to find material. I'm trying to find some peace and quiet to be able to worship. But it turned out to be a priest who told him about the incredible life of Father Stuart Long, who was a boxer-turned-priest, who was the inspiration behind this movie, Father Stu. He said he was the least likely person I'd expect to be pitching me. But he told me the story a couple of times, and finally it registered for me. I realized, wow, I've been looking for something like this. It's a fantastic role, a powerful and inspiring story.

It felt different and original to get people's attention. So, you know, he had to gain 30 pounds to portray Father Stu for the movie. He was struggling with a rare autoimmune disease, inclusion body myositis, it's what it's called. So he also, by the way, produced and self-financed the movie. So now Mark Wahlberg is saying that he does hope to make more faith-based movies. He said he's even got a production company in the works that would focus solely on getting faith-based movies made. God is incredible, Lainey. Like God told Mark Wahlberg to start going to church.

Then God said, you know what? I'm going to move you around. You know, I'm going to move you around because he don't want to hear movie ideas. Only to finally end up in one church where he got a movie idea. Look at God. Drop one of the clues bombs for God. God be God and don't he? Yeah, he spent millions

of his own money to self-fund this movie when no other financial backer would take on the project. He should have took tithes and offers. He said he was actually partly inspired by Mel Gibson, his co-star, who spent around $30 million of his own money to finance the Passion of the Christ. All right. Cuba Gooding Jr. has pleaded guilty to forcible touch. She ended that guilty plea yesterday to a misdemeanor charge of forcibly touching a woman at a nightclub in New York City back in 2018.

He admitted to kissing the woman, a waitress at the club, on her lips without consent. He also admitted to two other incidents of non-consensual contact in October of 2018 and June 2019. Now, under the terms of this plea agreement, he is to continue alcohol and behavior modification treatment for six months, have no new arrests, and after that time he can re-plead to harassment. And if he successfully follows these terms, repletes to the lesser charge, he can face a sentence of time served. If he does not comply, he could face up to one year in jail.

This is Marlon Wayans and I'm rocking with DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God. This is The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where are we starting, Easy?

Well, let's start with the Grand Rapids Police Department in Michigan. They have released several videos yesterday of the fatal police shooting of a black man during a traffic stop this month. That man is Patrick Leoya. He was 26 years old. He was killed on the morning of April 4th. Now, if you watch the video, there's dash cam video from the officer's car. They show Leoya being pulled over in a residential neighborhood. April 4th. Then he asks a passenger in the car to retrieve his license. And the officer says the plate doesn't belong on this car. The Leoya appears to walk away.

The officer starts to try to restrain and handcuff him. Leoya then runs. We can understand why. And the officer chases him, pins him to the ground. You can hear the officer telling him to stop and stop resisting. And then you hear him unholster his taser. And he yells at Leoya to let go of the taser or drop the taser. And then that video shows the officer pin Leoya to the ground one more time

with a knee to his back, grab his gun and shoot him in the back of the head while he is facing down. Really awful to watch any of that. Now, Ben Crump has taken on this case, civil rights attorney Ben Crump. And he says that the videos really shows that this was an unnecessary, excessive and fatal use of force against an unarmed black man who was confused by the encounter and terrified for his life. He said it should be noted that Patrick never used violence against this officer, even though the officer used violence against him in several instances for what was a misdemeanor traffic stop. Have police shootings like that become so common that we are desensitized to them? Because every month it seems like we hear a story like this

and it doesn't seem like it's much public outrage. It's just a headline. Like, they all sound the same, even down to Ben Crump being the attorney, you know, for said situation. Yeah, and that that video was just released yesterday people were demanding for that video to be released uh the prosecutors did not want to uh release this this video uh i never understood that why not

because they don't they don't want the public outrage that's literally what it is they don't want the public outrage they don't want people taking it to the streets you know they don't want people going crazy on social media but even when these videos come out i don't want the public outrage. They don't want people taking it to the streets. You know, they don't want people going crazy on social media. But even when these videos come out, I don't really see the public outrage anymore. Like the last police killing that really got people outraged, outraged was George Floyd. Probably probably Micaiah Bryant, too. And, you know, and that's just because of how brutal the George Floyd situation was. So I ask again, are we desensitized to these kinds of police shootings?

Because, you know, this sounds like so many other stories we hear on the regular. Now it's yet to be announced if they are charged against that police officer or what the fate of his job will be with the Grand Rapids Police Department. But it really is sad and tragic. You can see he's not doing, he's

terrified. And he didn't do anything to the police officer. And what's even more, I don't even know what to do when I hear these officer. And what's even more, I don't even know what to do when I hear these stories anymore. Like, truthfully, I don't even know how to react to them. Like, I don't know what to do. Alright, well, what we are trying to do is make sure

we bring attention to it for people who may not have heard it or know about it. And then, you know, we should get Ben Crump on the line to discuss what he knows more about the case. A lot of times also what you read in the news isn't the full story. How does he even keep up? How does Ben Crump keep up with all of these different cases and all of these different families?

Like how? Like some of this stuff got to be a blur to him. All right. And the federal transportation mask mandate is being extended for another 15 days. So if you're going on the planes, trains or on public transportation in the U.S., you have to wear a mask at least until early May. May 3rd is the new date. So here is what Dr. Fauci had to say. Why only 15 days? Well, I think, Angie, because it's a moving target and we really want to see what the pattern is here in the United States. I think making a decision for April 18th, I would agree that we

really do need more time. It isn't like things are static. Things are moving. We're seeing an increase throughout the country. We're seeing it more so in certain cities, in certain regions than others. And until we get a really good handle on it, I think it's prudent. I mean, I don't know what the official word has been about that, But if they do extend it, I would not be surprised. And I think that that would be a prudent thing to do. Speaking of being desensitized to things, I have been desensitized to Dr. Fauci. I have no idea what the hell he's talking about. What is he saying?

Well, you know, when you go on planes and public transportation in the U.S., the mask mandate was supposed to expire April 18th. They've extended it until May 3rd for now. I didn't even know that. I just thought that, you know, when you go on the plane, it was up to their discretion. I didn't know it was a mandate. No, no, it's still a mandate. And I think people should wear when you're in those close proximities, I think you should wear your mask. Oh, I didn't mean

up to their discretion. I thought that you still had to wear your mask on the plane and in the airport and stuff like that. You do. That's what they're saying. Oh, but yeah, I didn't know it was a mandate that expired. I thought you still had to. You thought it was just permanent forever? Yeah, I didn't know it was a mandate that expired. I thought you just still had to. You thought it was just permanent forever? Yeah, I didn't know.

Yeah, no, it's a mandate right now. So it was set to expire. They've extended it another 15 days. We don't care, Dr. Fauci. We just don't care. We out here. All right, well, that is your front page news. I be lying to Uber.

I be telling Uber I'm wearing a mask. Yeah, they don't really make you wear masks in Ubers anymore. They still ask you, yeah. Yeah, you gotta click that little box. I know, but I'm saying when you get in, they're not like... I jumped into Uber Tuesday and he was like, are you wearing a mask? Do you have eyes? No, I didn't say that to him, but I'm like, yeah, sure, I'm wearing a mask.

Did not have one on. Goodness gracious. Alright. Alright, well, when we come back, Philly's own. She's the coach. Hey. What? South Carolina's own. Philly and South Carolina, okay?

She's the head coach of the South Carolina Lady Gamecocks. All right? Two-time national champion out here in these streets. I bet you if you ask her what she's listening to in her car right now, it's Beanie Siegel. She's from Philly. Listen, she rode through South Carolina and that Bentley yesterday for that parade, damn it. Alright?

I don't know what you're talking about. Alright? Dawn Staley is South Carolina's own. Alright? Well, Dawn Staley is going to be joining us. Of course, she's the coach of the women game, Cox. And we're going to talk to her next. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.

Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. A living legend. Philly's own. And South Carolina's own.

We claim her too, Danny. Philly's own. Okay. Head coach for the South Carolina Lady Gamecocks. What do you claim? Philly or South Carolina? I for the South Carolina Lady Gamecocks. What do you claim? Philly or South Carolina? I work in South Carolina, but I'm from Philly. I have to tell people all the time, like, I just work here.

There you go. I just work here. Philly. Philly. Dawn Stanley, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Thanks for having me on. Appreciate this. How are you? I'm doing great. How does it feel to be the first black coach, male or female,

to win two Division I national championships? Like, you literally are black history. I actually did not know that until social media told me. Wow. Afterwards, yeah, I didn't know that. Like, you know, you win one and you just think, oh, you know, what a feat. But then to win two and then be a part of history, I didn't know. I didn't know, but a feat. But then it went two, and then it'll be a part of history. I didn't know. I didn't know, but it feels great.

Why do you think you're the only one, though? It's hard. Yeah. It's hard for black coaches. Black coaches don't really get a real opportunity to be successful. You got to hit it. Like, even at South Carolina, we didn't get that good until, like, three years in. But the AD knew it would take about three years. And I'm looking at him like he's crazy.

Like I don't have three years to get ready. But the state of the program was such that it took a while to get some recruits in there to really get the thing rolling. So basically they had to give you an opportunity to get successful. Yeah. I mean, how long did it take you guys to get this? Like two years. Just two years.

Longer than that? Two years to really get it going? Yeah, first year we sucked. They were talking about firing us. But you gotta think, we're also on every single day, five days a week, like non-stop of trying to get better. That's the same thing as coaching. We're seven days a week. like, nonstop of trying to get better. That's the same thing as coaching. We're seven days a week. We got to, we got to, you don't get that, you know, that opportunity.

But when you do, like, you know, people are going to try to be like y'all. Well, let's talk about the start because you started off as a player. So let's talk about your start as a player and what made you want to coach. Because you said it was so difficult, so hard to get in. And you didn't even want to be a coach at first. I did not. I did not. Well, I mean, I've been very fortunate.

I grew up in North Philly, and the project's in North Philly. In Philly. So it's a lifestyle. Sports is a lifestyle. So you grow up, you watch the Sixers, the Flyers, the Phillies, everybody. And then you live out your dream in the hood. Like, I played football. I played basketball.

I played softball. I played baseball. So I was just really into sports. And fortunately for me, you know, I used that to just kind of occupy because you can get into a whole lot of things growing up in the city. And then I got my first college letter from, it was actually from like Dartmouth. Dartmouth University, uh-huh.

Yeah, I would not have survived there from an academic standpoint. Athletically, yeah. And then I was like, hey, I think I got something. I can do something. I'm pretty good at this basketball thing. And then you don't realize how good you are until you go outside of Philly, you know people verify that you're you're pretty good and and once I had the story basketball career you you think you're going to play forever and then somebody saw something in me that I didn't

see in myself and that was coaching I didn't want to be a coach like I had great coaches but I didn't see myself being a coach. I had great coaches, but I didn't see myself being a coach, especially being a coach. I've been a coach now for 22 years. So when I was 30, 29, 30, I was still playing in the WNBA. So I'm like, I can't be responsible for young people that are just near my age because I'm 30, they're 18 or 22. I'm younger than their parents.

I just felt the responsibility of being responsible for them was overwhelming. And then I got challenged to turn the Temple Women's Basketball program around. And then I never looked at it as a challenge. And when I did, I was like, hook, line, and sinker, let me go do this. Who was the first person that saw it in you and said, you know what, you've got the ability to be a coach? Everybody used to say it, you know, as a player. But I never saw it for myself until the AD.

I mean, he's deceased now, but I always give him credit for just approaching me with it and finding the very thing that drives me and that's challenges. So when he did that, I was like, oh. And he suckered me into it, too. He did. The Final Four was in Philly in 2000. I was with the U.S. Olympic team training there.

We had a scrimmage. And he said, well, why don't you just come over and just basically tell me no. So I'm like, I'm from Philly. I can't. It's hometown let me let me walk over there and and speak with him and then he sat me down asked me two questions one was can you lead I'm basically the captain on every team that I've been on I'm a point guard that's my position so I was like yeah and then he was like can you turn this women's basketball program around? And I was like, was that a challenge?

And I didn't answer. I didn't answer. And then he told me, can you just kind of walk down the hall with me, you know, to meet some other people? And I'm walking down the hall. Like, I've never been on an interview. This became an interview, and I didn't even know it. So I walked down the hall and went into the conference room. And it's like 10 to 12 people sitting around this conference room and they sit me at the head of the table and they just started firing questions like what do you see yourself

doing in five years and i'm just like playing i'm still playing at this point you're still playing i'm playing yes and coaching yeah yeah so i'm just like not really giving them the answers that they want. You didn't really have any. I didn't. I had a job. I didn't really need a job. You guys are recruiting me.

So, I mean, I think they really like the frankness of my answers. And, I mean, two weeks later I took the job. And it's been like my second skin. I know I help a lot of young people by being a dream merchant for them but i get i get gratification when i i just i i was at the wmba draft destiny henderson yeah she got drafted 20th in the draft i thought she went a little late um you know but she's a you know she's a fighter to to to be in this place of seeing my players' faces when they're able to check off a lifelong dream, you know, is so gratifying.

That's why it was important for you to be here this year? Yeah, that's why it was important. How was it in the beginning when you first started getting adjusted as a coach? I just treated it like a huddle. Like I'm a point guard, so I used to control the huddles. So I just treated everything like a huddle. Like I'm just speaking on so I used to control the huddles so I just treated everything like a huddle like I'm just speaking on what I see what we need to do and then once we started playing games there are like long timeouts like media timeouts they're like two and a half minutes

and I would be done in like 30 seconds and we just be sitting there like I'm like all right I'm done and they they look at me like, you know, you're actually supposed to be saying more than what you're saying. But I was done. But now, you know, being 22 years in, I can fill up an immediate timeout and then some. Now going to South Carolina, how was that leaving Philly and taking that position?

Well, I thought when we left Philly, Temple, we could never get past the second round in the NCAA tournament. We would lose in the first or second round because we didn't have the talent. We could outwork you, but we got out-talented. And being a competitor that I am, I wanted to win a national championship. And I didn't think we could do it at Temple because I didn't think we could get people to come to the city.

It's North Philly and it's you know if you're a parent you you know you you shy away from sending your kid yeah so then I went to South Carolina because it was a traditional campus pretty cool city like it's a cool city out of all the southern cities it's pretty nice city love the metro yeah and and I just thought we could we could pull in some some talent being there but the first three years i thought it was professional suicide really yeah we didn't we didn't have players and the players that we had didn't really understand what we were trying to accomplish they thought it was like a hobby. Like, do we got to practice every day? Do we have to do this? Now that they see what the program has been as successful as we have,

they see it differently. They come back and they see this is what you were trying to get us to do. And it's beautiful, though, to see just the evolution of our program. All right, we got more with Dawn Staley. 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 Dawn Staley. Charlamagne. I love how you you know big up all your players even when y'all won this year

you've bigged up everybody that sat on the bench so I want I want to ask how important was was Asia Wilson to changing the culture of the Lady Gamecocks? Asia, she was the number one high school player in the country, just in little old South Carolina. And she legitimized our program, being the number one, staying at home, believing in our vision for her and our vision for our program.

Like, it really wasn't Asia. It was a mom that really was the one that said, you know, she tried to say, I'm going to go somewhere else besides South Carolina. And her mom was like, well, you go down there and you tell Dawn, MF, and Staley that you ain't going. Seriously. That's what she said. You go down there, you tell her, because I'm not.

But I think we put Asia in a position where it was hard for her to tell us no. Because we had a great crowd. We were going to the NCAA tournament. And we were nearing getting to the Final Four and winning a national championship. So now she's got a statue there. A statue. A statue. Like if Asia wanted to come back, she could probably run for mayor, governor.

Easily. Easily. So I'm glad she did it in her hometown, and she put us on a map, and we're keeping her legacy alive. Does your relationship with the Carolinas start with being drafted by the Charlotte thing? Well, no, because my parents are from South Carolina. Both parents were born in Swansea, North South Carolina. So I used to come to the country, call it the country, every summer.

So when I decided to come back, I wanted to bring my mom back to her home state because all of my siblings still lived in South Carolina so it was kind of good to bring everybody back to where everything started. Now when you got a seven year, $22.4 million contract. Why are you all in her pocket?

It was a thing. She's the highest paid black head coach in women's NCAA basketball history. It was out there. Right? How do you live in South Carolina with that? How do I? I mean, I don't. How big is the house, Dawn?

It's big. It's big. It's big, but, you know, like, I'm a part of it. Like, they've received me so well in South Carolina that, you know, I'm rooted there now. I'm rooted. Like, it would be, like, I've had opportunities to leave. But the pull, the people, the people, the people of South Carolina have been, like, tremendous.

Like, my alma mater's called a few times, you know, but we've built it. And it would be hard for me to leave and give somebody, you know, our hard work of putting South Carolina on the mat and just being one of the most storied programs in the country now. Yeah, I mean, why would you leave? I mean, I think about people like, you know, Pat Summitt, how long she was at Tennessee. What's Gino's last name for UConn? Ariama. Yeah, I mean, why would you leave? I mean, I think about people like, you know, Pat Summitt, how long she was at Tennessee. What's Geno's last name for UConn?

Ariama. Yeah, how long they've been there. Why would you leave? There's not a good reason. Yeah. You find it crazy that, you know, you played in the WNBA, but it feels like college women's basketball gets way more hype than professional women's basketball.

It takes time. You know, the NBA, you know, if you graded the NBA on their first 25 years, they're probably in the same place as the WNBA. So if we just keep investing, you know, like there's an investment in college women's basketball. No matter how little or big we think, there is an investment. We're on TV all the time.

We're on, you know, we're streamed. You know, I get a chance to make a whole lot of money. Other coaches make a whole lot of money. So there's an investment. There's not an investment like that at the WNBA level yet. I think it's building towards that. And I think now the league is at a place where there's only 144 jobs in the WNBA. Somebody's missing out.

Like, great players are going to be at home doing nothing or going overseas to play. You started in the beginning of the WNBA, right? Weren't you? I actually started in the ABL. There were two professional women's basketball teams that started after our 96 Olympic team. So the ABL, which I played for two years, and it was played during the traditional basketball season, like in the fall and winter.

And then I switched over in 99 because I had bad knees. I still got bad knees. So I went over to the WNBA in the shortest season. So Lisa Leslie, Cheryl Swoops, Rebecca Lobo, they all, you know, jumped on board with the WNBA. What was that like? Like, you know, because I guess, you know, if you're a woman basketball player,

you think there's a ceiling, right? So when the WNBA came, what was that feeling like? I mean, it was cool. Like, you know, the more the merrier that you can give women an opportunity to play during the prime of their careers. Like, for most of our legends, Teresa Edwards and Katrina McClain, they had to go overseas to play. Like, they build their careers and their money going overseas to play.

And that's what I had to do when I left college in 1992. There wasn't a WNBA, so I went overseas and sucked it up. I didn't really like it. Where did you play overseas? I played in Segovia, Spain. I played in France, Tarp, France. And then I did some stints in Brazil and another stint in Spain. It was decent money, but, you know, I'm a homebody.

I used to have like two. It's not like today. Like today they got the Internet. They got FaceTime. We just had a landline. Right, and that was probably so expensive too. Two grand a month. Yeah.

Dang. That's like a tenth of my a salary yeah I've seen a lot of people blame the WNBA for Brittany Griner situation like a WNBA should be ashamed of itself because the players shouldn't have to go overseas you know to make money what do you think about that overseas you know honestly have been the the way to go because you can you can make money can make a living. The WNBA usually is a league that supplements that.

I think the WNBA is growing. It's growing. Yes, she had to go. Brittany had to go overseas to earn a seven. I mean, she's been making seven figures for probably seven, eight years now. And for her to have to do that is disheartening. And we're prayerful that she gets back to us

because it's not a pretty situation that she's in, but we'll keep her in our prayers. All right, we got more with Dawn Staley. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast

Club. We're still kicking it with the coach of the Gamecocks, Dawn Staley. Yee. What do you think about endorsement money now, too, coming in? Do you see that improving as we're watching the WNBA grow? Now, I'm going to tell you this. There's a such thing called NIL, name, image, and

likeness on the collegiate level. Our players are making money. Yeah, they're making a lot of money. They're making more money than most WNBA players. Like the top level WNBA players, Sue Bird, Brandon Stewart, Asia Wilson, they make money. But if you take a couple of players off our team at South Carolina, you know, the Leah Ballsons, Zia Cooks. I mean, our team makes a lot of money.

They probably make more money than any other athlete on our campus. Wow. Which is pretty cool that women can hold that spot. Does it make it harder to coach them? You know, they're getting money. Like, why are they going to listen to Coach Dan? That's true. That's true.

For this year, no. But I think as it grows, it feels like this offseason feels more like a pro team. Like having exit meetings. It feels like a pro team that you gotta really talk about how you compartmentalize your branding

and your ability to perform at a high level. But it's also a training ground for the next level, the WNBA level. You're going to have to juggle all these things. And I actually like it because life is full of everything. It's full of social. It's full of making money.

It's full of your craft as a professional athlete. You're going to have to be able to manage all that. Are those conversations you have with them about finances and how to make sure that you protect yourself? At the beginning of the year, this is what I did. July 1st is when it passed, the NILI rule passed. And I sent a text out to our group, our team, and I was like, hey, any of you all want me to help you secure an agent? I know a lot of agents.

Let me know. And then the ones that wanted me to help them, I set up Zoom calls with agents and their parents, and it was a week of just 24 hours just trying to get them, you know, secure. Because I didn't want this to interfere with, we had a good team. Like, we were a national champion contender. So I didn't want that part of it to interfere with this. So we did it early.

We did it probably in August and September. So by October, everybody had whoever they wanted to represent them and then everything that came up with anything with with branding and endorsements went right to their agents so I didn't have to feel any of it which was which was pretty good how do you keep somebody like Aliyah's coming back right she is how do you keep somebody like her motivated cuz she has such a monster year won the national championship there's really nothing else for her to prove. How do you keep her motivated?

She's got that Kobe mentality. Kobe was a greedy athlete. He wanted it all. Aaliyah wants it all. She wants to etch her name. The first interview she had when she came to South Carolina,

you get the comparisons to Asia Wilson. She's like, uh-uh. I when she came to South Carolina, and you get the comparisons to Aja Wilson. She's like, uh-uh. I don't want to be Aja Wilson. I want to be Aaliyah Boston. And I thought that was a strong statement. Like, her first interview. And then for her to do some things that Aja Wilson wasn't able to do. Like, she got all the play of the year.

She swept it. She swept the whole thing. She's built like that. She wants to win again. She wants to win the National Player of the Year awards again. When you have someone as special as her, and I do think she's a generational talent, I do believe. You know, a lot of people, you know,

tend to give that adjective to, that maybe shoot from threes. They're just super athletic. But she's a 6'5". I don't know her weight because she lost about 25 pounds before the season. There aren't very many players that get better, like, in front of your very eyes. Like, she got better every single year, so she's just built like that. She's gonna be a number one draft pick.

She made me feel old, too, because I was like, I've never seen somebody so motivated by a meme. Right. It's like that meme motivated her all year long. You know, players like Aaliyah, like, and she's very sweet. Like, she's a nice, and sometimes nice people don't get what they deserve because they'll just say, oh, it's okay.

So we're in the Bahamas, and she just had probably a 25-8 game, something that I think is normal for her. Normal for her. But I'm just like, you you know i embarrassed her a little bit because i said do you know why i want you to be dominant and she was like so we can win the national championship i said yeah that's part of it i said you know go a little deeper and she was like no i said because do you see that picture they put up that meme they put up every time there's something with women's basketball, the one of you crying?

So I said, I'm motivated by you turning that frown into a smile, into happy tears. So you got to go be dominant. And I knew we were going to play Oregon and Connecticut the next two days in that tournament. And from that day on, she's been dominant. Wow. I know I hurt her feelings.

I know she went to her parents, but I hit her parents up before. I did. I said I got in her pretty good. So y'all might need to just kind of be parents, shower with some love. But I got in her. And I have really good relationships with our parents. Those are the people that I talk to the most because those are the people that have the most interaction with their daughters.

And if I can get to them and get the messaging right, we don't have any problems. I remember back in the day you appeared on the episode of Martin when the USA women's basketball team had to play Martin and his crew. Martin was playing against Gina, but he didn't know Gina was bringing all of y'all. Right. Listen, I got, I'm more known for the Martin show than probably basketball. Really?

Seriously. Seriously. Like, everywhere I go, it's like. Because they still rerun it. Right. Yes. I mean, that was actually the best. We had the best time. And I didn't know

what went into a show. We flew in on a Monday and didn't do any... And then Tuesday, we just sat around the table and read our lines. And that was it. And then Wednesday, Thursday is when they actually do the show.

You're doing the acting part of it. But Martin was cool. He took us to his house, both his houses. One right in L.A. Yeah, we played on his court. But Martin played with gloves on, like the football, sticky gloves. Why? I didn't know.

I didn't ask either. Did y'all bust their ass? We didn't ask. No, but he was balling. He was balling in them.? I didn't know. I didn't ask either. Did y'all bust their ass? We didn't ask. No. But he was balling. He was balling in them. With gloves on? With gloves on. Did y'all beat them when y'all played on this court? I mean, we were just playing. It wasn't

all of us. It wasn't like the, you know, the real competition. It was mixed. And none of y'all asked him, why are you wearing gloves, bro? No. We're guessing at home. But you enjoyed the experience?

Oh, the best. Yeah. Like the best. You know, you grew up watching Martin. That's right. You know, right? So you only know them as Pam and Gina. Right.

Right. They don't like for you to call them their names on the show. They like for you to call them their real names on the show they like you for you to call them their real name Tisha and Tashina yeah so you saw them you excited you like yo Pam Tashina they don't they don't like that at all but it was a pretty cool experience I hope they bring the show back are you doing a Don Staley movie no not that I know of nobody Nobody's approached you? No. We got to tell this story?

Books, books, but no stories. I haven't agreed to do a book either. I got to do it because I'm forgetting everything. Right. Now's the time. Yep, yep. Thank you for joining us. Yeah, man. Coach Don.

No, Philly and South Carolina's own. B.D. Singleton and Meek Mill. Her parents from South Carolina. B.D. Singleton and Meek Mill. Ooh, you can't make me... You can't. Beanie got it started. I gotta go with both.

We've never had anything like that, so it's exciting to watch. And that's my wife's alma mater, so... Thank you. Appreciate it. Alright.. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club.

Well, according to the police, somebody was shot yesterday evening outside Rapper DaBaby's home. That's what it says here, Rapper DaBaby. It was around 7.45 p.m. when there was a 911 call that reported the shooting. It said around 7.45 p.m. this evening, a call came in to 911 reporting that a subject had been shot on the property of rapper Jonathan DaBaby Kirk. The shooting reportedly occurred near the football field

on the property. Initial reports indicate the subject who was shot had trespassed onto the property. Now, sources say it was a very tense 911 call as telecommunicators were instructing the caller to secure his weapon before responders arrived, and he refused, stating that

there could be more intruders, but they did describe that shooting as a non life-threatening wound to the lower extremity. I don't see no problem with it. No, don't come on my property. You in the Carolinas, that's standing ground law. You shouldn't be on my property at all. Especially if it's gated.

You got to hop a gate or climb through a gate. And he's got a compound he got in the States. I'm sure he got security. Not only that, somebody ran up in my crib a long time ago, so I still got PTSD. No, I don't see no problem with it. Don't see the problem at all. Remember that time when that dude jumped Diddy's Gate and I was like, you lucky he didn't get shot? But this person don't see no problem with it. Don't see the problem at all. Remember that time when that dude jumped Diddy's gate

and I was like, you lucky you didn't get shot? But this person wasn't so lucky. You have my gate. I got something for you too. My dog is the first line of defense. You cop that gate, dog's the least. I don't care about your punk ass dog. You better watch your mouth. Watch your mouth about my punk ass dog.

Punk ass dog. Alright, now Maino was on lip service and we were talking about role play. And here's what Mayno had to say on the podcast.

I like to be like a runaway slave. Okay. I like to play like a disobedient slave with a white woman. So tell me like what you say.

It's two of them. Like, it's like me getting whooped, right? You're going to act like your master's, your master's wife.

And I just got whooped by master for eyeballing me. But the whole time you've been really, you know, you like it, you been eyeballing me. Nobody really went along with it. Like I stood up on the wall and said, come on, let's act it out. And he was like, man, are you crazy? What if they call you the N-word? So the other fantasy is that they whipping me and they calling me a n***a.

Wow. Okay. Well, Mano has since responded to backlash that he got online about it. I was like, is he being serious right now? He was with Jim Jones, the Lobby Boys, and here's what he had to say. Yeah, I don't know. I can't take a joke. That's what I said.

That's what I said. You n***a got no sense of humor? I tell him. That's what I had to say. Yeah, I don't know. I can't take a joke. That's what I said. That's what I said. You ain't got no sense of humor? I tell him. That's what I told him, too. You ain't got no sense. You don't like to play around? Well, I do. Was it a fantasy?

It never happened. It was fantasy mode, like fan duel, like fantasy football. Like, just maybe. All right. So his explanation, it was just a troll. He was trolling y'all. And Nike has topped the most valuable brands list. They do this whole thing per brand finance. And they were talking about the significant growth this year that Nike had.

Their value increased by 9% to $33.2 billion. That's the eighth year in a row that Nike has been in the number one spot. Now, if you had to guess who is in the rest of these top 10, who would you guess? What is it? Sneakers? No. Or brands?

Brands. Apparel brands. I have no idea. Nike. What's that? The LV. Whatever that company is, right? Louis Vuitton is number two.

Louis Vuitton. I would think top 10. Was it based off money or just? So the way that they base this list, it's basically the value of the names, terms, signs, symbols, logos, and designs that a company uses to identify and distinguish its goods, this list it's basically the value of the names terms signs symbols logos and designs that a company uses to identify and distinguish as good services or entities from those of others Oh so McDonald's no these are apparel brands I would say Gucci's up there which is number three good job envy

yeah Adidas I know number four is, but Adidas is number five. Five. All above my wage. Well, Zara's on the list. H&M is on the list. Okay, now we talking. Now we getting down to my price range. What about Tory Burch?

Tory Burch. No, Tory Burch is not on there. Hermes is number six. What about Goodfella t-shirts from Target? No, Cartier is number nine, and Uniqlo is number ten. No Goodfellas from Target on there? No, not in the top ten. I don't know nothing about that. No, Cartier is number nine and Uniqlo is number ten. No Goodfellas from Target on there? No, not in the top ten. I don't know nothing about that. No Hugo Boss?

Actually, Hugo Boss has been coming up and they actually made, they've made some noise, but they're not in the top ten. Oh, okay. Alright, well that is your rumor report. Alright, thank you, Missy. Charlamagne, who you giving that down to? You know, man, four after the hour, we

really need to talk rainbows. Okay? Let's talk rainbows. Not just rainbows, but people are losing their collective minds, and they're arguing and debating about things they really have no business arguing and debating about. But we'll talk about it for After the Hour. My daughter likes rainbows. She should.

Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat. Yes, the Breakfast Club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Yes, donkey of the day for Thursday, April 14th goes to the Buckeye Valley local school district. Let me tell y'all something. We are in a strange tit for tat-tat in this country right now.

Okay, the whole political divide, left wing versus right wing, we have gotten to a point in this country where I truly believe that people don't care as much as they act like they do. Okay, we're just always trying to get the other side back for something they did to us because I refuse to believe that this Ohio school district cares this much about a children's book called It's Okay to Be a Unicorn. Yes, this book is about a unicorn, okay? And this book is causing controversy. And I put

controversy in air quotes because there is no such thing as controversy anymore. You know why? Because it's all just noise. All right, what has your Uncle Charlotte told you before? If everything causes outrage, then nothing truly is outrageous. If everything is controversial, then there is no such thing as controversy. But for the sake of content, I'll play along. All right. Now, this book, It's OK to be a Unicorn, has been banned by the Ohio School District. Why? Because a lot of people don't want LGBTQ content in schools. Now, this is always framed as a right wing issue, but I know plenty of people on the left, plenty of people in the center, plenty of people up, up, down, down, left, right,

left, right, B, A and start feel the same way. OK, they just don't want anyone talking about anything sexual to their kids. And this book, It's OK to be a Unicorn, supposedly promotes a gay lifestyle. Therefore, the Ohio school district has banned it. Well, the book's author, Jason Tarp, who was a straight man, was scheduled to come and read the book at a school in Delaware, Ohio. And one parent, one parent, I repeat, one parent complained about the event

and an emergency meeting was declared and the book was banned. Not to mention, Jason Tarp says the book has nothing to do with LGBTQ issues, but rather, the book is about self-acceptance that he learned from nearly dying of a brain tumor. No need to listen to me. Let's go to WSYX ABC 6 for the report, please. The way I look at this is that like your kid's going to go through anything, you know,

and it doesn't mean that you're, it's because there's rainbows that it's a book about being gay or whatever. Over the past few days, it's been the growing talk among parents at Buckeye Valley Local Schools, a book about being yourself, leading to a debate about if it's diving into sexuality. Jason Tharp is a fighter, thankful to be alive after a recent battle with brain cancer. Toughness and perseverance, a big part of the message behind his series of children's books. He has a passion for helping kids, pushing self's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the

book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the

book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the

book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan of the book. He's a big fan book is about. I was using my story of struggling with it because I grew up as an adult that I didn't like myself. And then it took a brain tumor for me to wake up to my life and realize how horrible of a person I was to myself because I internalized so much of this stuff. If the book isn't about LGBTQ issues, why did this parent jump to the conclusion that it was? Huh? Well, you just heard what Jason Tharp said but according to school employee Kaelin Brazelton she says she was told to remove the artwork because it included rainbows rainbows the books color palette included rainbows as well

leading this parent to think that it was an LGBTQ themed book this is why you can't have minority rule we are letting the stupid among us have too much power. It's just like social media. You can have a few people making noise on social media and people act like it's the whole world talking. You let one person, one parent influence you to not let this author read his book because he saw rainbows and thought gay. Now, I know the rainbow is the symbol for LGBTQ pride. OK, the various colors reflect the diversity and the unity of the LGBTQ community. I understand that. But LGBTQ is not the first thing I think when I think rainbows. I don't even know if it's top five. I'm old school. Okay. I grew up Jehovah's

Witness, my book of Bible stories. When I see a rainbow, I think God's promise, okay, to Noah, all right, that he promised never to destroy the earth by flood for the judgment of sin. Okay. Rainbow symbolize hope. All right. Those are the first couple of things I think, all right, third thing I think is the pot of gold that could potentially be at the end of said rainbow, that's what we were taught growing up, there's a pot of gold at the end of that thing, all right, fourth thing I think is of lucky charms, yes, the cereal, okay, lucky the mascot, making the rainbow go over his head with all the marshmallows in it. Okay, fifth thing I think of is Rainbow Bright. All right? I was born in 78.

Oh, I hear you. If you had one, you had one. No. Oh, why you get so excited then? I don't get excited. I heard you. You was like, ooh, Rainbow Bright. Oh, that was Nick.

Oh, Nick, I'm sorry. You had a Rainbow Bright, Nick? I'm telling you. Okay? I was born in 78. Y'all didn't grow up on rainbow bright. Y'all don't remember rainbow bright on Hallmark cards. Okay.

And the rainbow bright cartoon and the dolls. All right. When I see rainbows, that's what I think of. No disrespect to the LGBTQ community, but I don't see the rainbow and automatically think gay. All right. So this parent is bugging. All right.

And the Buckeye Valley local school district is bugging for following this dumb ass parent up. All right. Now I'm gonna tell you something. The parent would have had a better argument, a better case. If he if if he would have said or she would have said the book was LGBTQ themed because a unicorn is a gay horse. We are all in agreement on that. Right. Just me. Well, OK. A unicorn is a gay horse, just like a dolphin is a gay shark. OK. Sheep were gay goats. All right. Swans are gay ducks. A unicorn is a gay horse. Many a male horse. Barrel braids have asked to sit on a unicorn's horn.

And when they do, they get turned out and become actual unicorns. Everything about them changes. They start getting their mane done, their hooves manicured. They get lashes extended. Oh, it's fabulous. All right. That would have been a better reason to complain if you were going to complain. And guess what? Even if that was your reasoning, okay, that a unicorn is a gay horse, that would have been stupid too. All of this is stupid. We used to be a country that didn't let one monkey stop no show, but now we let one donkey do. give the buckeye valley local school district the biggest i think i'm gonna stop giving donkey to stupid people and stop and start giving more donkeys to the people who follow up to stupid people because y'all supposed to know better my goodness

What's up, brother? What's your question for Ye? So my question is, so I started dating this young lady. Very nice young lady. Very respectful. I like her. Okay. So she gets a couple calls from her ex.

You know, I still love you. Then she gets a text message, I'm going to die without you. You know, all this goofy stuff, you know, that guys do after they mess up. And she told you about it. Right. She told me about it. Okay. So this was on Sunday.

So yesterday, we're having a conversation again. I'm like, yeah. She's like, yeah, the guy you reached out against. I'm like, you know, you didn't tell him? So she's like, no,

it wasn't at the top of my list. Her problem is it seems like she doesn't understand stuff until I put her, you know, put the shoe on the other foot. So I'm like, listen, how would you like it if an ex-mine that I used to speak with is calling me and telling me, oh, she did this, she wants this,

she wants that. Well, that's not acceptable. Well, if it's not acceptable for me, then why is it acceptable for you? And for some reason, she's under the impression that that's not selfish behavior. Okay, so it's a common theme. Yeah, I. Yeah. Well, this sounds like one situation. Um, is this an ongoing thing between you two? No, this is definitely, this is, I, well, with regards to her being able to see things that I present to her, uh, her not seeing them until I put the shoe on the other foot. Okay. But then she did, once you, once you did that, she did see it. No, she, no, she actually said to me, no, it's not an issue because I don't, I'm not interested.

I'm not going to reciprocate. Okay. I do think it's okay for him to just continue to do this, but as long as you don't reciprocate, it's not an issue. Right, and first of all, I'm glad that you expressed yourself to her and told her how you felt and also explained how you felt, and she should respect that. If she has an issue respecting what you need from her,

then it feels like, you know, I don't know how a relationship can work if you're telling somebody that certain things aren't acceptable and they're not in agreeance with you or they're not saying, okay, I'm going to let him know not to call me anymore. I won't take his calls anymore. Is she still speaking to him?

Well, according to her, she hasn't spoken to him. And I believe her. Okay. My deeper concern is the fact that there's this reoccurring theme of selfishness that she doesn't seem to get.

Mm-hmm. But you said she's not talking to him at all. So she did listen to you. Right. So the problem is, like, Chris Rotten described, like,

the penis in the glass case. Mm-hmm. Like, if you allow people to hang around, you know, one day maybe we have an argument when he calls, maybe she decides to take the call. But you said she's not talking to him anymore.

And look, you believe her. She says she doesn't speak to him, and that's it, and you believe her. I do believe her, but so you're telling me that you think this is acceptable? I thought you just said she's not talking. I don't think it's acceptable. You told her something.

She told you she doesn't speak to him. You believe her. So that issue feels like it should be a closed issue because she's not speaking to him, right? All I asked her to do was to tell a guy, listen, I'm in a relationship. I need you to stop doing this. Okay, so you want her to be more confrontational. Absolutely. So it's not acceptable for you if she's just like, I'm not talking to him anymore and just fades out and doesn't respond to his messages or calls.

Right. You don't block the guy. You don't you don't let him know to stop calling. It sounds like to me that, you know, you don't want to. OK. She doesn't address it. Right. She doesn't want to stop. I do feel like because I'm also that type. I don't really block people like that.

And like some of my exes might sometimes hit me up but I just am not responsive to it to me that's good enough but you know for you it's not and she told you about it so she's being open and honest with you in that way and she's not speaking to him anymore I think you know you want her to do things the way that you want her to do them and she's doing them the way that is her behavior i'm not a confrontational like don't speak to me leave me alone don't call me and block you type of person i'm more of a if you hit me and do these things i just won't respond but you don't like the way that she's handling it no but i mean but to hear you uh to hear your expression like that uh allows me to uh look at it from a different perspective because the main thing is that you don't want her speaking to him and you want

that respect, right? Now, the way that she does it is maybe more in line with her personality. And when you say it that way, that is. Right. Some people are not harsh like that or brutally honest. I'm more of a, I'm just,

you know, I'm not trying to have this conversation and do all that. I'ma just fade out. Right, so instead of me calling her selfish, maybe I have to look at it as me attempting to put the way I deal things on, deal with things on her. Yeah, she doesn't have to handle it. But I do feel like if the result is what you guys want, like that's the result that you wanted.

Do not communicate with him. You're still getting that result. Okay, cool. Thanks, She. And so I just want to say to all three of you guys, I really sincerely appreciate the way this show has evolved into

a voice of community. I really appreciate that. I just wanted to let you guys know that. I think you're dope. Thank you, brother. Thank you. We appreciate you listening. You're the best. But yeah, so I wish you luck with your relationship and keep those lines of communication open. She should be able to tell you anything.

I think it's good that she comes to you and lets you know what's going on, but you don't want her to not tell you. Right, right. All right.

Thanks, guys. No problem. Take care. All right. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice,

call Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Here's some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Yeah, this is Chuck. Hey, Chuck. What's up, bro? Yeah, man. Hey, yo, so I got this question. I was trying to figure out, like, how do I get my wife to be more submissive towards me?

You know what I mean? No. What do you mean by more submissive? Give me an example. A lot of times, it's like high school, right? We basically grow together. Like, I can't tell her that. So it's like, it'd be things where I know I'd be right at, but it's always got to be, like,

this argument about me making a decision. You know what I'm saying? About something. You know what I mean? And she's already always in her head. You know how women are. All men are like that. But you get what I'm trying to say. Okay, so you're telling me how all women are, but you're complaining that she says all men are like that. Oh my, you get what I'm trying to say though, right? All right, give me a specific example, like what you're right about that she argues. Let's say it's something dealing with the kid.

I don't want to get too specific. Maybe it's something dealing with the kid. I may say, this is how I want it to go. And she feel like it should go this way because she feel like I guess she's always right. So really, it's not even a matter of what's best. You guys are arguing over who's right. But that's the thing. I guys are arguing over who's right. Yeah, because sometimes we end up getting into arguments,

not over what it is that we're trying to do, but over who's right. And it becomes more about that than what the actual issue is. And it feels like when those arguments continue to happen, it's for another reason. Right. Is there something else going on in your relationship? Has it always been like this, or is this something that has been happening more recently? No, I think it's just like all dynamics of our relationship

that was built over the years. I've been together all these years, and I feel like I kind of was built throughout all this time. You know what I'm saying? And now it's like, God damn, I don't want to argue with you every time. We got to make a decision on something. Right, because that's exhausting, right? And that does affect the whole relationship.

Well, my thing is this. When I find myself in a space, and listen, all couples get into situations where they're not always agreeing on things. They're not, you know, always on good terms. Sometimes they argue, but being able to do that in a more effective way where you can actually not have an argument, but a discussion is important. And it's about how you guys speak to each other when you're discussing things. And if you can come into more of an agreeance on, okay,

whenever we have something that we don't agree on, let's have a discussion instead of an argument. And how can you do that without, you know, some of the main things are not using the words always. You know how you said, you know how all y'all women are or you always feel like men are like this. Using words like that make people get defensive. Right, okay.

So a better way to express yourself is, hey, I was thinking it would be best for the kids if we did this like this. If she doesn't agree, be like, OK, well, let's discuss and, you know, figure out the best solution, because sometimes it is really how you speak to each other, because you're just arguing to be right. And and you get so used to that because it is a dysfunctional thing in a relationship where you guys argue over every little thing. So you have to learn how to communicate with each other in a more respectful manner where she gets to say her piece, you get to say your piece, and then you guys are coming to

an agreement on it in that manner. And then sometimes you have to give in and sometimes she should give in. Sometimes you have to lead with example to show this is how I want to be spoken to and I want to treat you the way you need to be treated. And that might even be in the middle of you guys discussing something a hug, sending her y'all love you. I hate that we are arguing like this.

Because sometimes it's hard to be the bigger person in a situation like that when you're fighting to be right for no reason. Right, right, right. We need to get better at the fight. Alright, well I wish y'all luck with that. But, you know, I just think it's a different type of issue. It feels like it's not even about what y'all are going back and forth over.

It's more about how you guys relate and communicate with each other. Yeah, that's what I think it is, too. Like I was saying, I guess it's kind of like over the years, it kind of just got that way. You know what I mean? Yeah, listen, next time it happen, give her a kiss. Give her a hug. And if it's not a big deal or the way that she wants to do things is not bad,

sometimes you give in and then be like, okay, last time I gave in, so, you know, let's do it my way this time. All right. I'll see you about to go. All right. I think I'm going to take your advice. If you roll, I'm going to call you back. All right.

Please call me back. All right. All back. All right. All right. All right. Ask E, 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call her. Now we got rumors on the way. Yes, and Joe Button is talking about everyday struggle and revealing that academics was actually not supposed to be on that show originally. We'll tell you what it was supposed to be.

All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk about a concert that the prices are falling. Coming in, hitting the ground. You sound happy. Listen up. It's just in. All the ground. You sound happy. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip.

The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. All right. Well, when Kanye pulled out of Coachella on April 4th, after that, they said ticket prices on secondary markets have fallen a lot.

So general admission tickets for Coachella started at $450 to $550 when they were available directly. Then ticket prices were around $675. But once Kanye announced he would not be headlining, they said those tickets on the secondary market dropped to about $390. Oh, so it was on the secondary market because Coachella was sold out way before they even announced who the artists were. Yeah, usually it's a lot more expensive when it's a sold out show and it's on the secondary market. We said they went to

up to $675, but once he pulled out, they dropped to even below what you could have bought them for directly. Oh, I get it. That makes sense. The way the headline was worded was like nobody was buying Coachella tickets after Kanye put out, but I I was like that didn't make no sense Coachella been sold out before they even announced the artist yeah

alright now let's talk about Joe Button he was discussing Everyday Struggle when that show first started how it wasn't supposed to be academics on that show in the original lineup he said it was a show with him

and Elliot Wilson. Here's what he said. Everyday Struggle was supposed to be me and Elliot Wilson. Oh, wow. And we would look for a moderator. And then Elliot called and was like, I don't know if I'm doing it, Joe. I think I'm pulling out out of respect for you. Noah

at Complex. Shout out to Noah as well. He was like, alright, I'm going to just start bringing some people in. We'll start just looking at some people. And Ak was one of those people. And as soon as he left, I said, he's it. But I didn't know him, and I didn't like him. Is that why you liked him? And that was perfect.

And Ak was dedicated, man. Once we started working, I fell in love. Fell in love with Ak. All right. So that show might not have ever happened the way that it did. And Ellie is still a title, right? Ellie Wilson? I think.

Right? I believe so. Okay. Yeah. So there you have it. All right. Now let's talk about album sales. Koi LeRae is seemingly responding to reports of her debut album sales.

Now the figures have not been verified yet, but they're saying that she's going to sell about 11,000 units in the first week. And she went on Twitter and said, can't complain about anything. My debut album is amazing and not one song can you say is bad. It's been five days. I understand Koi Lurie is so viral

and works good on blogs, headlines, but trust me, it's all part of the game. Just ride out and stay focused. And in addition to those numbers, there were some other albums that came out. Fabio Foran, his album was released, Bible, Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. And that is anticipated to sell more than 29,000 units. And then ESTG and 422 Doug are are about to sell about they say 26,000 units in the first week

now I saw Meek Mill did a post and he said they crashed in the rap game out that everybody drop on Friday BS what the F is that why would you want to sell your product on the same day as your competition for a billboard look lol what does that do for the artists is anybody going to tell me that

everybody drops on Friday and not just rappers? And it's been like that since the beginning of time? Does this used to be Tuesday? On Tuesday, everybody used to drop. All music artists. Why does that happen, though? Why does everybody have to drop on the same day? I mean, because a lot of times it's different genres of music.

And even if it's rap, you'll buy one or two albums at the same time. I can think of 9-11 as one of the ones that stands out to me the most when Fabulous debut album dropped and the Blueprint dropped. I caught both of them. I know, but I'm saying like you could just drop on like if you chose, I mean, some people can do that. They drop on like a Wednesday,

but then I guess when your first week sales come out, it doesn't count as a full week. Is it just for those projections? That is a good question for the projections. What's the science behind it? I guess. Also, I thought maybe the streaming services only upload on a certain day.

No, I think you could put it out. And even before there were streaming services and it was actual CDs you had to buy in stores, they all came out on Tuesdays. I thought the stores restocked on Tuesday or something like that.

That's what I thought it was. I thought it had something to do with the stores. But it also don't matter to me. Variety is the spice of life. When you walk into a liquor store, it's more than one alcohol. When you walk into a restaurant,

it's more than one thing on the menu. I don't care if it's a bunch of different rappers that come walk into a liquor store, it's more than one alcohol. When you walk into a restaurant, it's more than one thing on the menu. I don't care if it's a bunch of different rappers that come out on a Friday. Artists, period. I'm going to buy what I like. Yeah, but also, like you said, I'm going to buy or I'm going to listen to what I like. It doesn't matter if it comes out on a Friday, Thursday, Wednesday. It doesn't matter if there's a technical purpose

for it. That's all. I don't know. I would like for Meek to expound on that tweet. That's what I would like. I would like to know more about what he means by that. Alright, well that is your rumor reports. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. Alright, now shout out to everybody again that came out to my book release yesterday. The book actually comes out Tuesday, but

Gia and I will be on the road, so we wanted to do something special for everybody out there.
