Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.

get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series,
The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast
Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into
their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

It's time!
It's time! It's time!
It's time to wake up! DJ N, Angela Yee,
and Charlamagne Tha God. The Breakfast
Club, bitches.
The voice of the culture.
People watch The Breakfast Club for light news and really be tuned in.
It's one of my favorite shows to do.
Just because y'all always keep it 100, y'all keep it real.
They might not watch the news, but they're on Twitter.
They're on Facebook.
They're, you know, they're listening to The Breakfast Club.
Get your ass up. Good morning, yo. Good morning, Angela Yee. Hey, good morning, DJ Amby. Charlamagne Tha Guy. Peace to the planet.
Guess what day it is.
Guess what day it is.
Pump day.
I was just telling everybody behind the scenes that I kind of miss the good old days.
What's the good old days?
When we first started this show, we didn't have much of anything.
Meaning there was, when we walked in the building, there was no security.
That's what you want?
Nobody protected.
No, no, no, but it was fun.
And you just never know what to expect.
Well, I mean, listen, I've been attacked in front of this building twice.
You know what I'm saying?
Maybe like, I don't know how long ago was Canada get a drop, like six years ago.
About six years ago. For all the news people that have joined us in syndication, because we're in 90 markets now.
About six years ago, four or five guys tried to jump me in front of the radio station.
One hit me in the back of the head.
I took off running because I thought that was a smart
thing to do. Second time, I went to the
pharmacy across the street
to get some money out to ATM, and
this one dude tried to attack me. That didn't
end well for him.
That didn't end well for him.
But you know, in both situations, I think we were pretty stupid
because in both situations, you
called or you came, and we ran
downstairs. It was just me, you called or you came and we ran downstairs.
It was just me,
you and Emeasy at the time.
The second time,
both times I was by myself.
Yep.
You know,
one-on-one situation,
I can handle that.
But then this morning,
it's like,
this guy out there
asking me,
remember when we,
he was like,
yo,
remember when we met
at the Amtrak?
I'm like,
what are you talking about?
Wow.
That's what he just said
to me.
Was it good?
He was like, yo, you don't remember the conversation we had at the Amtrak? I'm like, what are you talking about? That's what he just said to me. Was it glitter space? He was like, yo, you don't remember the conversation we had at the Amtrak?
I'm like, the Amtrak?
Are you talking about the train?
He was like, yo, Swiss Charlemagne.
I said.
He said Swiss?
He said, we're Charlemagne.
I said, please, white security guard with the gun, keep the gun out and just make sure I walk in the building.
That's the problem I have.
See, here's the thing.
What's the problem you have?
I like that problem.
I know, man, but see, what's going to happen is
there's going to be a white man in a suit
that does you dirty, you know what I'm saying?
Before even one of my people get their hands dirty.
And then what?
Oh, he was in the corner.
He was back in the corner.
Oh, he's going to jail right now.
Oh, he was in the corner.
He's going to jail?
I don't play that.
Wait, so he did?
I'm going to have a corporate businessman
and a taxpayer.
No, I didn't know something.
If you run up on me, I ain't playing that.
911, what's your emergency? I'm not doing that. It's no need to get him beat up, you know what I'm a corporate businessman. No, I didn't know something. You run up on me, I ain't playing that. 911, what's your emergency?
I'm not doing that.
It's no need to get him beat up.
You know what I'm saying?
Once you hemmed up in a corner,
now you're going to talk to the police.
He's been hiding since 4 o'clock in the morning,
like in the bushes, in between things, trying to hide.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah.
How come I didn't know any of this?
You don't speak to the wrong people.
As soon as there's a movement around this biatch,
they call me immediately.
Because the thing is,
once our people got to put hands on you,
now you're not going to come back tomorrow angry.
So now you got to talk to the police, and you can tell the police what your issue is.
Why you have black eyes.
I ain't got time for all that.
I'm just trying to come to work.
Good morning, guys.
Mental illness is real, too, though.
It is.
You know what I'm saying?
People be sitting around crazy.
It is.
And speaking of mental illness, we have a doctor joining us this morning.
Oh, I love her.
Talking about mental illness.
Her name is Dr. Jess.
Dr. Jessica Clements.
She's from Brooklyn.
Mm-hmm.
She's a mental health wellness expert.
Okay.
You know?
All right.
Somebody that y'all really need to know.
Either know her now or regret not knowing her later.
Also, we have Ella Mai.
She'll be joining us.
Of course, she has the hit record, Boo'd Up. I think it's three times.
Platinum. Trip, which is her next
single, is absolutely positively on the way.
Yeah, that song's popping right now. Yeah, so we'll talk
to Ella Mai, too. You know what I did yesterday
that was such a pleasure?
Usually... You slept? No, I
did sleep, though, yesterday. I went
to a parent-teacher conference, right?
And all the time when I go, whether it's
Logan, whether it's Jackson,
there's always a situation.
Jackson put his hands on somebody.
Logan tackled the kid.
I had to go for London.
And when I say it was such a pleasure,
I went in there and it was like,
your daughter's reading, you know,
advanced by, you know, four levels.
And math is two levels advanced.
And she's such a pleasure to work with.
And she helps everybody.
If somebody spills something,
she helps cleans it up.
If somebody doesn't know something about a problem or they're having, you know, homework problems, she helps them.
I was like, go ahead, little Lundy.
Go ahead, little Gregulation.
I was excited about that.
Proud dad.
Yes, I am.
And let's get the show cracking.
Front page news, what are we talking about?
Oh, well, maybe you don't want to play in the Super Bowl.
Well, there's another option for you, and we'll tell you about that.
And this is actually something that the owner of the Patriots has supported last year.
This particular bowl was in Boston.
Okay, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Here's Drake.
All right.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get to some front-page news.
Now, um,
here we go. Basketball.
Celtics beat the 76ers
105-86.
And Warriors beat the Thunder 108-100.
Yes, it's good to see
the NBA back. I'm not gonna front. I was watching
TNT last night and
seeing Shaq and Ernie
and Chuck and Kenny Smith
back on television made my day.
You don't realize how much you enjoy something until it's gone.
And I know, you know, they've been gone all, you know, whatever, summer.
But to see them back was great.
I'm excited about the NBA.
I'm going to the Knicks game tonight.
Are you going tonight?
Yeah.
Knicks and who are they playing, the Nets?
The Hawks.
The Hawks.
Okay.
All right, well, what else are we talking about on Front Page News?
Well, let's talk about the Mega Millions and the Powerball jackpots.
Combined, they are now worth more than
$1.2 billion.
The jackpot for Friday's drawing is
$868 million, or a lump sum
of $494.5 million
for the Mega Millions.
That's going to be the largest jackpot in the game's
history, and the second largest in
the U.S. lottery jackpot history,
period. So nobody won last night.
I think somebody won like a million dollars.
That's it.
Not the main jackpot.
Yeah, but not the main jackpot.
I definitely played last night.
Well, you didn't win.
I pulled up to the liquor store after picking my daughter up from cheerleading practice
and my daughter was asking me, why the hell am I playing the lottery?
Nobody's won in a while.
They said the last Mega Millions jackpot was won July 24th. And the last Powerball was won August 11th.
So it's been a minute.
I thought I was going to win last night, though, only because my daughter has never seen me play.
So she kept saying what she would do with the money if she got the money.
And then last night she was like, so if you go to sleep, how are you going to know if you won the lottery?
What time do they announce the lottery?
I'm like, don't worry about it.
I have time to claim it.
All right.
A Maryland police officer has been arrested and charged with rape.
Ryan Macklin.
He was a six-year veteran of the Prince George's County Police Department.
He pulled a woman over.
And according to the woman, she told police that he allegedly attempted to touch her breasts
before ordering her to move the car behind the store.
And that's when he allegedly forced her to perform oral sex on him and told her he wanted
to have sex with her.
The alleged assault was interrupted by a witness.
The woman said
she had called that witness earlier
and that's when the officer
returned to his cruiser
and left the scene.
The witness corroborated
some of her account of the assault
and it was also backed up
by video evidence.
He's now been suspended without pay
and he's been charged
with first degree rape,
second degree rape,
perverted practice,
second degree assault
and fourth degree sex offense.
All right.
Now let's talk about something that maybe y'all didn't know about,
but this has actually been around for 18 years, the gay bowl.
Now imagine if you haven't.
The gay bowl.
This has actually been around 18 years.
It started off as something with just a three-team tournament
that was played in a Hollywood high school.
Is it flag football or real football?
It's flag football. I was thinking about one of those surprise bowls. You know, you close your eyes and tournament that was played in a Hollywood high school. Is it flag football or real football? It's flag football.
I was thinking about
one of those surprise bowls.
You know, you close your eyes
and you put your hands in a bowl.
Let's see what you come out with.
No, instead of the Super Bowl,
it's the Gay Bowl.
Oh, wow.
So now it's grown
to a three-day event
with 35 sponsors,
which includes
United Airlines,
Fidelity Investments,
Sheraton Hotels,
and UPS.
And actually,
New York is going to hold
its second Gay Bowl next year. We're hosting it here next year in Honolulu. They're going to do it in 2020. Are you going New York is going to hold its second Gay Bowl next year.
We're hosting it here next year in Honolulu.
They're going to do it in 2020.
Are you going to tell us what it is?
The Gay Bowl.
It's a flag football game.
Oh.
But with gay players.
Players are gay.
Okay.
They are.
Why is that funny?
I don't know.
It is.
Now, one person, Bryant, talks about what drew him, Dorian Bryant, to playing in the Gay Bowl.
He said first he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and then a year later he was out of football.
He walked away from an offer from the Tennessee Titans, and he ignored a call from the Dallas Cowboys.
He said, I came out when I was 24 or 25, and it was just his choice.
He said he didn't try and push it or anything.
He didn't think he was going to play football anymore,
but now he is the go-to receiver for the 2017 champion New York Warriors
at the Gay Bowl. So that's 57 teams.
Is it an all-inclusive league? Could I play
if I wanted to? Yes, they actually
welcome straight men to play
as well, but I think there's a cap
on that also. What would
the cap be? The amount
of straight men that can play.
That's not fair. Now, the Patriots
actually sponsored last year's gay bowl in Boston.
The owner, Robert Kraft, spoke at the closing ceremony.
And, you know, at first they thought it would be controversial,
but now it's so accepted in mainstream,
it seems like a no-brainer to be part of this.
Well, first of all, I don't see how something could be controversial
that I've never heard of in my life.
I've never heard of this situation ever.
Well, now you know.
It's been around 18 years, and now you know.
But it's not on TV yet, right?
No, it's not on TV, but they do have a lot of great sponsors.
Logo, y'all dropping the ball by not playing that on television.
Come on, Logo.
All right.
All right, well, that's front page news.

You have a boy?
What did you say?
Oh, God.
Now you're not going to get

Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us 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.
Your iPhone.
Yo, you can't be serious, iPhone.
iPhone, Sam, you know we not messing with you right now.
Listen, what will happen?
Listen, if you gave one of my
friends, right? You could have easily gave
these kids some drugs or something. No, no, no,
no, no, no. We're not going there yet, iPhone. Hold on.
Slow down, iPhone. Now, if you don't know,
iPhone has been charging people for
shout-outs. He takes their money and says
the Breakfast Club is going to shout them out. So a girl
hit me and said, hey, where's my shout-out?
iPhone Sim, I gave him some money
for a shout-out. Yes, I actually have her, and let me shout her out right now, Ashley, where's my shout out? I phone him. I gave him some money for a shout out. Yes, I actually have
her. And let me shout her out right now.
Ashley. Ashley McConey.
She said, you charged her $100
for a shout out. And you just got him his money.
Listen, that's going to mess up the whole
edit. Just saying normal. Ashley McConey
from Paul Watson and Upcoming Singers.
You just got him his money.
She said that you took her money
and then blocked her.
Never.
She called me mad.
She think that y'all on the air Saturday and Sunday.
I told her she have to wait until Monday.
She gave me so many messages.
iPhone Sim, you cannot charge people.
You cannot take money, iPhone.
You can't take money.
Like, you can't take money for shout outs.
Well, technically, iPhone Sims don't work here.
No.
So this is kind of an ill hustle if you think about it.
We can try. Charging people
to get shout outs on the breakfast club
that he calls in and does.
That's kind of ill. She's trying to use me.
She's trying to use me. Like, yo, let me get the same video
that you got. So I said, bet. I got you.
You know, like, I'm going to call my boy.
Yo, listen. I deserve this
money, bro. I had to download
that text free app.
They're really not doing nothing wrong.
So how much money have you made,
iPhone Sam?
How much money have you made?
Maybe a little $300, $400.
I respect the hustle,
bro. If people are willing to
pay you for you to
call in and shout them out, he wants us
to shout them out.
No.
I'm not getting caught up in this flug hole.
That's not why I called.
Well, that was half of it. Why I called
was my friend got arrested, right,
for having these kids sell candy
by like a Starbucks.
They said that they gave him
the welfare of a kid,
but he didn't
dress these kids. He picked them up at a bus stop.
He dressed them.
He took them out,
and they sold candy.
I thought you got money.
You got money.
Bail them out.
He already out.
All right.
Listen, listen, listen.
They want to hang on all black people
trying to do positive, bro.
He could have easily gave them kids
some drugs to sell
or some n***a to sell.
He gave them candy to make money.
They called the cops and said that they were underdressed.
How is that possible?
This is n***a, Ray.
He picked them up from somewhere.
All right.
His parents should be in trouble, not him.
All right, iPhone.
You already earned your money, iPhone.
Yeah, you got your money already.
Did you shout out?
Have a good day.
I don't even know what the hell you're talking about right now.
Goodness gracious.
Michelle, good morning.
Hey, good morning.
Get it off your chest, mama.
So, I listen to you guys all the time.
Charlamagne is like my favorite.
I always agree on him on most things.
Thank you, baby.
No problem.
But yesterday I was a little disappointed when you guys were talking about that white lady
that was like stopping the black guy from getting in the building.
So, you're like, no, she's not crazy.
She's just white.
I think it's kind of like a double standard.
Like, even though they are crazy white people,
I'm half white and I'm Puerto Rican too.
But if Ryan Seacrest was to say
that about a black lady,
you know, like, nah, she's not crazy, she's just black.
I think that a lot of people would have a problem
with it. I see what you're saying.
I mean, I don't like to generalize all white
people, but the concept of whiteness,
you know what I'm saying? The concept of
entitlement, the concept of privilege, the concept of supremacyiteness. You know what I'm saying? The concept of entitlement, the concept
of privilege, the concept of supremacy.
That's what she was exhibiting
in that video. So I should have said
that she's not crazy. That was
just whiteness, peak whiteness. That's what I should have said.
I hear you. I hear you. I agree.
I mean, I think she was crazy and wrong,
but I just didn't like how it came off
because I'm a big fan.
I understand. We do have to make a difference and I always try to between but I just didn't like how it came off because I'm a big fan. And, you know, like, I just don't know what I'm saying.
We do have to make a difference,
and I always try to,
between the good white people, the allies,
and the racist bigot crack-ass crackers.
Perfect.
Yes.
All right, mama.
I agree.
Hasta luego.
You too.
What?
Doesn't that mean goodbye?
What does that mean?
Dramos.
Dramos says it does mean goodbye.
Dramos is Puerto Rican.
So Dramos says that, you know,
hasta luego means...
Hasta luego.
Hasta luego means goodbye.
It means goodbye.
That's what it means.
All right.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent,
you can hit us up at any time.
We got rumors on the way.
Now, did y'all watch
the BET Hip Hop Awards yesterday?
We're going to get into the winners.
We'll talk about the ciphers
and all the highlights
of what went down.
All right.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
It's about time.
We're so in love.
Rumor report.
Rumor report.
This is The Rumor Report.
Talk to them.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, last night, the BET Hip Hop Awards were on.
It was hosted by D-Ray Davis.
Shout out to him.
Drop on the clues bonds for D-Ray Davis.
He did a decent job.
Yeah, he did good.
I thought he did a very good job.
He had some moments that I actually laughed out loud.
Yeah, he was funny.
He was very comfortable, too.
Now, Drake led the nominees with 11 nominations.
Cardi B had 10 nominations.
But Drake, of course, wasn't there.
He always gives the BET Hip Hop Awards his ass to kiss.
Well, here's what D-Ray Davis said about that.
Drake always nominated, always win,
and don't come to the shows.
I understand, Drake.
You don't rock with us, bro.
You don't rock.
You don't want to come to the award shows.
You ain't got to come.
At least send the b**** who wrote your s***.
Hit it!
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, hey, stop, stop.
Don't hold it, ooh.
Drake ain't gonna say nothing to me
because J Prince told him he couldn't.
Hey!
Hey!
Trouble to close my eyes.
We know you like jokes like that.
I love this, and I'm here for all Drake's land.
I will say this, though.
To play white devil's advocate,
Drake hasn't shown up to no award show in a long time.
Like, when's the last time you seen Drake at any award show?
He ain't really do award show or interview.
The only interview I seen was just a LeBron joint.
Yeah, I remember he tweeted that once that he wasn't
doing any more award shows.
Well, he meant it.
Yeah.
All right, I actually
tried to make sure
I stayed up to watch
DJ of the Year,
but that actually ended up
going to Cali.
But Envy, you were nominated.
Yeah, you stop it.
What?
You don't have to do that.
Envy's a big boy.
You knew Cali was getting
that award.
But she said I was nominated.
Thank you.
Yes, you were nominated.
Congratulations to Cali.
They showed you for like
a half a second. I noticed that too. Like everybody else, they let you. Congratulations to Kelly. They showed you for like a half a second.
I noticed that too.
Like everybody else, they let stay on the screen for a minute.
They be like, DJ Drama.
And they show like a whole video montage.
But Envy was just like a still picture.
Envy.
And then real quick, I'm like, damn.
All right.
Also, the BET Cypher.
I did have a Nissan commercial on during the BET.
Oh, I didn't see it.
Also, the BET Cypher, of course, is what a lot of people like to watch.
Some people who stood out, Nick Grant. Drop on the clues box for Nick Grant, South Carolina I didn't see it. Also, the BET Cypher, of course, is what a lot of people like to watch. Some people who stood out,
Nick Grant.
Drop on the clues box
for Nick Grant,
South Carolina's own,
damn it.
Okay.
All you like to steal
don't match your height.
You know it's fake love
when the views
don't match the likes.
I'm a mixture of good karma
and bad advice.
I'm from the dirty
with ass for your
cash for price.
Got your bae watching,
she's a fan of my stuff.
Lips poking out the poop like Pamela's bust. See the snake in her eyes, she don't gamble with love. I thoroughly enjoyed Nick's balls,
and I enjoyed seeing that Walter Burrowough of South Carolina under his name,
because a lot of people from the crib in those positions
don't like to rep the crib, which is South Carolina.
So salute to Nick for that.
Right. Also, let's talk about this Vic Mensa freestyle.
Now, a lot of people were talking about this before it even happened.
It got a lot of attention.
People had issues with him mentioning XXXTentacion.
Well, here's what that freestyle sounded like,
and you'll notice that some of the names were bleeped out.
Loser, your favorite rapper's a domestic abuser.
Name a single Vic Mensa song.
We all know you won't live that long.
I don't respect posthumously.
Homicide ain't new to me.
Catch up with academics, that's a eulogy.
What did he say?
He said, your favorite rapper's a domestic abuser.
Name a single Vic Menta song.
XXX, we all know you won't live that long.
And then he said, I don't respect M.
Whereas Pulse, he missed Lee.
Homicide, they new to me.
Catch up with academics at your eulogy.
I guess he not, you know, I don't know.
I don't agree with that.
But if you didn't like somebody when they were alive.
You're not going to like them when they pass away, I guess you're going to keep that same energy
when they die. And his mom was in the audience.
He didn't know that was taped beforehand.
That was taped way beforehand.
A lot of people want to smoke with Vic Minson behind that door.
I saw Zoya Dollaz on DJ Head and
Bootleg Cav Show. It was just unnecessary.
It was
really just unnecessary is the main
issue now. Why he want to smoke
with academics so much?
You know they've been going back and forth. Don't act all innocent. unnecessary is the main issue. Now, it was... Why he want to smoke with academics so much? Yeah, he don't like...
You know they've been going back and forth. Stop it.
Don't act all innocent like you don't know.
Oh my God!
It's academics, though. You didn't like him for a week.
Who? You. Who? You!
Who's... Can I get back to the
BET Hip Hop Awards? Y'all can argue later.
Now, there was also an all-women cypher and
Erykah Badu kicked it off as she was DJing.
Check it out.
Keep it tight, circa. Last name Badu kicked it off as she was DJing. Check it out. Balls in the work.
Keep it tight, circa.
Last name Bardu.
First name Erykah.
You can call me Erykah.
Like Mrs. America.
Try to stare at her, but I ain't breaking character.
A-P-P-L-E-S.
Potpourri smelly-ess.
E-R-R-I-N tomorrow.
Badu is never fast.
Stick your phone up.
Call Tyrone up.
Tell him T-minus 10.
I'm blowing the zone up. I'm hot like... In the sun's corona. Mama's gone, spat cherry now. Ha ha ha.
Dropping the Clues bombs for Badoo, damn it.
Now she posted it.
She was really freestyling. She said Dallas stand up because she's from Dallas.
She said a big Triple D shout and much love to Yella Beezy.
D-Town got you, baby.
Keep swimming.
And Yella Beezy was watching the BET Awards from his bed in the hospital,
because, you know, he was shot.
And he did perform at the BET Hip Hop Awards.
Obviously, this was pre-taped.
He posted, I'm in a blessed position because I'm a blessed individual.
God got the last say.
So, Dallas, tell the world, we on BET.
We made it.
That's on me, baby.
We've been doing Breakfast Club for almost eight years,
and I never run out of a shortage for people to get donkey of the day.
When I saw people last night tweeting,
how was Yellow Beezy performing when he just got shot two days ago?
No.
It really made me realize the era of idiocracy that we're in.
No, they were joking.
No, they weren't.
I'm telling you they weren't joking.
Well, people also might just casually be watching and not know that it's pretense.
A lot of war shows are like...
The man posted a video of him watching himself in the hospital.
That should let you know it's pre-taped.
My God, people.
There were people all over the weekend reporting what they were wearing and everything.
Nobody knew none of that?
Maybe they don't watch social media.
Yeah.
And they were just watching TV.
All right, well, Lil Duval closed out the show.
Hey!
Also, but do we have time for that? No. Okay. Come on, man. Don'tval closed out the show. Hey! Also, but,
do we have time for that?
No.
Yeah, come on, man.
Don't do that.
We're doing the next rumors
because y'all were
talking too much.
That's your fault.
You were talking too much.
We gotta go.
Y'all gonna pay
If y'all stopped talking
during rumors,
we would've got to it.
We gotta go.
Drop on the clues box
for Lil Duval.
Closed out the BET Awards.
If you said they only
showed me for half a second,
we ain't got time for Duval.
Best performance last night
was Little Duval
and Ball Greasy
and then Partisan Fontaine
and Cardi B,
but I couldn't be biased.
All right, I'm Angela Yee
and that's your rumor report.
You on the payroll for real.
All of my peoples.
All right.
Okay.
All right, when we come back,
front page news,
what we talking about, Yee?
We are going to talk
about the Mega Millions
and the Powerball Jackpots
combined over a billion dollars.
All right, we'll get
into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning. This is real, man. Why you say that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
This is real, man.
Why you say that?
I'm just going back to what we were talking about earlier this morning when the guy was in front of the building and, you know,
the guy had to get hemmed up.
The guy's running up on me talking about he,
I'm throwing subliminals at him with the title of my book.
Sick one, yeah.
Push your T, you know your no song.
I know what that's about.
Yep, and you met him on the Amtrak.
I pressed him.
He said I pressed him on the Amtrak.
Like, what the hell?
You on the Amtrak every day, B.
Like, this dude came to the radio station this morning,
been waiting on this since 4 o'clock.
4 o'clock this morning.
All these stories.
Like, really got an issue with me in his mind
about stuff that he made up.
I believe him.
All right.
But let's get into some front page news.
What are we talking about, Yeezy?
Well, let's talk about the Mega Millions
and the Powerball Jackpots combined.
They are now worth more than $1.2 billion.
So, you guys, now is the time to play.
There haven't been winners in a minute.
So, according to the lottery, they are saying that these jackpots are so big
because no one's won since July 24th for the Mega Millions,
and then it was August 11th for the last Powerball jackpot winner.
So somebody's going to win big.
I definitely played last night.
I'm going to play today.
I played Mega Millions last night.
Powerball's the night, actually.
How much is the Powerball again?
The Powerball is worth...
$600, I thought?
$860.
$800.
Oh, no, that's the Mega Millions.
The Mega Millions is $868 million, and the Powerball is $360 million. $800 million. Oh, no, that's the Mega Millions. The Mega Millions is $868 million, and the Powerball is $345 million.
The only thing I hate when the numbers get that high, I spend more money than I usually would.
Usually, I'll spend like $10.
You got to spend money to make money.
Get five quick picks.
But when the numbers get that high, I spend $20.
I'm going to spend $20.
They get 10 quick picks.
I'm going to spend $20.
You know what I'm saying?
All right, and let's talk about the Gay Bowl.
Now, instead of the Super Bowl, there is the Gay Bowl.
And one player, Dorian Bryant, talked about basically how he got involved.
Now, he had first time with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
And then they said a year later, he was out of football.
He got an offer from the Tennessee Titans, walked away from that.
He ignored a call from the Dallas Cowboys.
He said, I came out when I was 24 or 25.
And he said, it was more of my choice. I didn't try and push it. He said he never wanted to be a figurehead for a movement. He said, I came out when I was 24 or 25, and he said it was more of my choice. I didn't try and push it.
He said he never wanted to be a figurehead for a movement.
He said, I don't want to be that guy.
But for the first time, he actually was able to now play and not worry about what his
teammates were going to think about him.
So the Gay Bowl has been around
for the past 18 years. Last year,
they actually played in Boston
and the Patriots president,
the owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft, actually spoke at the closing ceremony.
Why do they do the pose like that, though?
Go back to that pose revolt.
I mean, if you don't have revolt.
They're posing, showing their armpit hair.
I don't know.
Do they play full teams?
It's seven on seven.
Seven on seven.
I would think it's a lot of positions they don't have, like tight end.
Like what else?
Probably not a lot of offensive linemen, stuff like that.
Right.
Well, you know.
Definitely no tight ends, though.
Actually, they have 35 huge sponsors, which includes United Airlines, Fidelity Investments,
Sheraton Hotels, and UPS.
A whole mixture of people.
And it's actually growing.
So this should be pretty great.
Do they have wide receiver?
Is wide receiver those?
I don't know what all the positions are, guys.
Come on.
If you're interested, you have to look it up.
Listen, the ass slaps when you make a good play in that game
are probably so intimate.
Anyway.
Is it on TV?
Because I'll check it out.
I don't know if it's on television.
Logo, y'all already dropping the ball.
It will be in New York next year if you're excited and you want to win.
Logo, you're really dropping the ball by not airing this logo.
Can anybody play?
Can Charlemagne play?
Yes, he can.
I would love to play.
You should play.
Okay.
I think you should.
What position?
And I wish they would tell me I couldn't play because I would yell discrimination like a mother eff.
First of all, you're probably not even good enough to play.
Let's keep it real.
These are real players.
And?
They play for real NFL teams.
And?
What position would Charlemagne be?
Punter.
No, definitely not a punter. No, not a punter.
I'd play running back.
I'm probably a little too slow.
Tight end?
No, not tight end.
Don't insult these gay ball players
by thinking that y'all can actually compete.
I said I'm too slow.
That's what I'm saying.
Y'all can't compete.
Y'all can't compete with them.
Who's the guy that throws the ball between his legs?
The center?
You could be a center.
All right, guys.
No, I'm too small.
Anyway, shout out
to everybody at the gay bowl.
Drop on the Clues Bonds
for the gay bowl, Dad.
That's your front page news?
I can't come up
with a better name.
I like gay bowl.
Eh, it's too simple.
It's basic.
You know what I'm saying?
How are you rebranding
the gay bowl?
Let them have their day.
Like, who are you?
Every gay guy knows
more creative than that. You know what I'm saying? They got the lingo down. You know what I mean? Call it the trade bowl. Let them have their day. Like, who are you? Every gay guy knows more creative than that.
You know what I'm saying?
They got the lingo down.
You know what I mean?
Call it the trade bowl
or something.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, something gay bowl.
It's like, eh, okay.
All right.
Well, that is
your front page news.
Now, when we come back,
talking mental health.
Oh, yes.
This is a young woman
that we're bringing in here
who you may not know now,
but you will know later.
And if you don't know her yet, you should know her later.
Okay?
And you will thank us later for getting to know her today.
Her name is Dr. Jess.
Jessica Clemons.
Psychiatrist.
And we're going to talk to her about everything this morning.
So if you got some questions, you might want to get on the line.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Yes, sir.
Dr. Jessica Clemons.
Good morning, Dr. Jess.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm excellent.
So who is Dr. Jess exactly?
Oh, my goodness.
So that name actually came out of endearingly being called that on Instagram.
It started out with me just kind of on Instagram sharing a little bit of my life.
Like, you know, here's my relationship.
Here's what I'm doing for fun.
Until, like, I'm a doctor.
And people were like, Dr. Jess.
So I started to kind of use that as a way to kind of continue to feel connected.
Gotcha.
But basically, I'm a psychiatrist.
I'm finishing my training right now in New York City.
I graduated from Cornell.
At that point, when I was in med school, I thought I would be, like, a dermatologist.
Okay.
I thought I would just. You need those, too. Yes, we definitely do. be like a dermatologist. Okay. I thought I would just.
Need those two.
Yes, we definitely do.
I have a great one.
Dr. Sandy.
Ah, nice.
Then there was a period I was like, oh my God, I love surgery.
I was really, really kind of good working with my hands and like getting in there and
suturing.
But it was on my psychiatry rotation because in med school you rotate through like all
the specialties.
So I rotated through psychiatry and I fell in love with it.
There was a man who was so depressed that he couldn't move. He couldn't speak. He blinked
really slowly. And I learned that was called catatonia. And so we treated him and then he
shared with me, it was your help as a medical student that kind of got me through. So at that
point, I was like, it's done. I'm going to be a psychiatrist. When you went to medical school,
right? I know they say a lot of times they don't push people like black women, black men to be psychiatrists. What was your experience like
before you actually found your calling? Absolutely. So you're totally right. There's only about 2000
psychiatrists that are black in the United States out of like 26,000 total. So I did get like
backlash a little bit from my family. They just thought immediately, like, where are you going to
get patients from?
We don't see psychiatrists. You spent all this money putting you through school.
Yeah, I still have a lot of student loan debt.
What did they think? They were like, white people ain't going to want to talk to you.
Exactly. That was one piece.
White people certainly won't be your patients.
We don't see psychiatrists. I feel like you really fumbled.
Have you suffered with any mental health
issues yourself or somebody in your family?
I certainly think my family has had it.
I think pretty much every family does. If we just look at the rates, it's everywhere. Personally, my journey
in terms of like my own experience with mental illness has been developing anxiety when I was
in med school. So I went to an HBCU. I went to Tuskegee. I was like, sorry, for what? No,
you didn't go to Hampton. So I cut it out. Tuskegee is like literally the mother of all HBCs.
Okay.
So I went there, was like really popular on campus in terms of like being very active, involved.
So anyways, I get to med school and I'm one of five black students at Cornell.
Definitely anxiety kicked in from like, what's up with your hair?
To like, what's the origin of your last name?
And I'm like, you know, but I would turn up. So I'd say like, I don't know, a slave master. Like, what do you like, what's the origin of your last name? And I'm like, you know, but I would turn up.
So I'd say like, I don't know a slave master.
Like, what do you mean was the origin of my last name?
So I found that I became very insecure,
curious about like, how are people experiencing me?
And it developed into panic attacks.
So mine were really like heart palpitations.
And it was during my psychiatry residency,
which I'm finishing,
where someone said, you got to get in and see a therapist.
And I was like, hell no, I'm not going to see one. And then I did. And it's been really helpful.
Don't you think school or that whole situation is like a form of rational anxiety, though? Because
I feel like you got rational anxiety and irrational anxiety. Like you knew the source of your anxiety.
I agree. But at the time, I didn't know what it was. I remember it was a problem. So it happened
a few times. I would be like really angry. And I remember realizing when I was angry,
let's say I was talking to my supervisor
and she was just not understanding my way
of presenting the case.
And I remember like going back to the resident room
and my heart was racing.
And so I just thought it was angry.
I'm like, wow, okay, this is weird.
But then I remember hanging with my friends
and we were like getting ice cream and it was a fun day.
And then when I was in the car, it started happening again.
So I'm like, okay, this is what I'm telling people
that I'm taking care of to realize this is a symptom of anxiety.
So I think to your question, yes, looking back, it seems rational,
but I think my experience is not unique.
I think a lot of people of color experience that
because you're living in these two worlds, right?
In one space, I make sense.
I can run for Miss Tuskegee and almost win.
That's probably why I love them so much.
You know, and then in another space, it's like, who's that?
What do you mean?
What are you listening to?
Who's this?
Who's that?
And it just felt real.
Did you see Empire last night?
Yeah.
I love Black Panther.
Does everybody suffer with mental illness now?
Because now it seems like everybody has some little part of a problem or feeling of mental illness.
Like everybody.
What you said about anxiety is the number one form of mental illness in America.
So should everybody go see a psychiatrist?
Okay, so my personal view is yes.
So psychiatrists, we are trained to prescribe medication.
And we can do both therapy and medication.
So my personal interests lie in both.
I don't think that everyone has these significant disorders,
but I do think that we all experience anxiety in our lives.
We all experience periods where we may feel a little bit down or stuck.
And so therapy is actually what I would recommend.
For everybody.
For everybody.
But who does the therapist see?
Because if everybody's having a problem,
you see your own therapist.
I think about that.
I do, because I know I'm a lot for my therapist.
You see your own.
Yeah.
So what are your thoughts on prescribing medication?
Is it like a last resort?
Or is it something that you might offer early on?
Great question.
So for me, I personally think there's so much more power
in allying with the patient
and really meeting them
where they are. So if I'm working with someone who really has strong feelings against medication,
I'll work with them. I don't force it. Now, unless a person is very clearly having an episode that
makes them at risk of hurting themselves or others, then in the state of New York,
we could hospitalize them against their will. We certainly can medicate them also. But if it's like a one on one in my office thing, I work with them and encourage like,
look, this anxiety is really affecting your relationships. It's affecting your functioning
at work. Let's see how you feel if we try it. If it doesn't work for you, we can stop it.
And this might sound a little crazy, but you think it's a fad? And the reason I say that is
when people started talking about kids having ADD, right?
I swear, it seems like every kid that was bad, he has ADD, he has ADD.
And I don't necessarily think that every kid that they said had ADD had ADD.
I think it might have been maybe the kid was lazy.
And we've all been there.
And it seems like now with mental illness, it's quick for somebody to say.
Like if somebody's going through something, they have mental illness.
There's a problem.
You know what I mean?
Is it fatty? So I think, how do I answer that? So it's
really difficult for me to say that because in my world, I see people and I know that I am doing the
proper due diligence. I'm doing a full assessment and coming to my decision. Correct. But I think
outside of the world of mental health, this field, I think it can be thrown around a bit,
but that's also because
people don't really know all of the criteria that you need in order to meet having generalized
anxiety disorder or a depressive episode. Again, I think what we are seeing are anxiety that
presents from situations or, you know, just feeling really kind of like you're stuck. There's
a lot of reasons why people may say that. So I'm reluctant to say it's a fad because I still think at least within the black community,
we're not talking about it enough.
And the reason I say that not to cut you off is, is like my son,
because I'm going to explain it like my son, for instance, right?
He had a problem in school and the first thing family members was like,
well, maybe you should get him checked out.
Maybe he has ADD, right?
And I transferred him to a different school.
Once I transferred him, no problems. Kids are angel. And I feel like that's sometimes a mental
illness. I think people just look for an excuse. And if something's going on or there's a problem
or something's tough, instead of sometimes fighting that toughness or just going through it,
it's like, I'm mentally ill. I got to go see a doctor. I feel like it's an excuse a lot.
That's why there's a stigma.
Yes, that is exactly why. So I think in the example that you're sharing about your son,
certainly advocate for the proper testing or do what you did.
Try it in a different environment.
But I think we also know that ADD can be undertreated.
And for some children, having a stimulant can certainly help them to focus
so that they won't miss milestones as they're going through their education.
But I think to your point, there can be a lot of mislabeling that's happening,
especially in our communities.
We know that for schizophrenia, a black man that presents with symptoms similar to a white
man is more likely to have the diagnosis of schizophrenia and the white man to have the
diagnosis of bipolar disorder, which is less stigmatized than having schizophrenia.
So there's a lot of issues there.
But I think what you recognize as a parent is like, you know, your son and you're going
to try something different.
However, if the new environment didn't, you know, change, you know, we'll take it to that
next level.
Right.
Absolutely.
But I think it's yeah, no, but I think it's something that does come up.
We got more with Dr. Jess when we come back.
Don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
She's a mental health doctor.
Dr. Jess Charlamagne.
Let's talk about the stigma of mental health in the black community.
Why is it such a stigma?
Oh, my gosh.
So I think it goes back for, is it kind of archaic for me to talk about slavery?
No.
Sure.
But a lot of it. It's a for me to talk about slavery but I think but a lot of it is but seriously I think a lot of it goes back to just how and when I talk
about black people I'm talking about black Americans for black Americans I
think the fact that we came here and were forced to work and we're forced to
push against so much there became this this way of life that we can endure a
lot right and so it still affects the
way that doctors even take care of black patients. They assume black women have a higher tolerance
for pain. So it's all, it's affecting every single one of us. The church also. Pray it away. Pray it
away. There's something that you're doing. You don't have enough faith. And honestly, also,
I just think that it's not really cool yet for black people to admit that we have a problem.
Right. But having a mental illness is not a sign of weakness.
It's a sign that you're living this life like everybody else.
And it's a lack of information, too, because I feel like we barely got insurance and money to go get your physical check.
Nonetheless, the mental. Absolutely.
Even with Obamacare, I think in 2016, 15% of black people were still uninsured. Mental health treatment is very expensive.
But the stigma, I think, prevents us from even taking that first step.
So what kind of conversations do you have?
Like, I'm trying to think back to the first conversation you said you had with the guy when you was in school.
Yeah.
Like, what was that conversation like?
Yes.
Yes.
You know, a lot of it is just really kind of checking on the person, asking them how they're feeling, how they're doing.
So people I think when we go to people who actually have diagnoses with like been diagnosed with a mental illness, a lot of time there's a lot of isolation that they may feel.
They may feel disconnected from people. And so what I did as a medical student was really be there for the person and just kind of talk about how they're feeling is there anything that I can help them with but again this person really wasn't communicating
there but simply my presence was enough to let this person know they're not alone
especially with depression right hopelessness is a is a symptom of depression feeling a lot of guilt
about things certainly feeling suicidal can be one there's a lot of guilt about things, certainly feeling suicidal can be one.
There's a lot of isolation that happens with people who are depressed.
So if you're physically present
and just showing that you care
can help a person just know that they can continue.
What's the best way to deal with mental illness?
Get treated.
I mean, what's the best way to treat it?
Is therapy?
So it depends.
So like schizophrenia, it needs medication.
That's a chronic mental illness.
It definitely needs to be medicated.
Depression and anxiety, there's evidence to show that both medication and therapy, they have the same like effects.
So again, thinking about the severity.
So if someone comes in and they are severely depressed, they're not able to function at work.
They're not getting out of bed.
They're not showering.
Medication would be the first line.
Someone who's able to function, seeming a little down, that person could probably also benefit just from therapy. So either or, depending on what it is. And what is the Be Well brand?
So I didn't share that. So I, in playing around a little bit with Instagram and sharing more about
my work as a doctor, I started out doing these live sessions where I'll get
literally on Instagram live every Saturday or Sunday at 12 p.m. Eastern. I'm on there. I'm
talking about topics like relationships. But while I'm in there with people and usually get a pretty
good, you know, following, I'll go into things like therapy, going into things like anxiety,
abuse, things that kind of get people more thinking about mental health. That kind of blossomed into me wanting to really talk about the same things, but in a safe space.
So Be Well is literally a conversation series that I have with really interesting people,
people that are using their platforms to do good and really kind of send a message.
So last month we were in OK Space. I had Rhapsody.
Rhapsody.
Yep.
Sleuth to rap.
Yes. It was so great.
She came and shared, you know, a little bit about her life.
She has a very interesting story as well.
She grew up in a small town, how she named her album.
So we really talk about that.
And also, obviously, what her thoughts are on mental health.
So I want to just kind of push the conversation into spaces where they aren't happening,
but also using people, not using them, but bringing people
that, you know, can change the narrative in front of an audience that already follows along with
them. And your relationship with your husband, does he feel like you're analyzing him sometimes,
like when you're having an argument or anything? I would say probably because everyone assumes that
I am, but he's been really, really supportive.
He's also encouraged me to really kind of pursue doing what I'm doing now
and not necessarily waiting until residency is done next year.
He's like, if the opportunity is here now to help people, do it.
But I'm sure he would say, I am.
It's kind of like dating Professor X, right?
Stay out of my hand.
You know what I mean?
You've got to feel like that just a little bit.
Like you feel like you can't scream and yell because you're like, okay, I got to keep it together.
You know, I don't.
I'm still very much a product of my environment, too.
So I, you know, I definitely have to remember, like, to breathe.
Remember, why am I mad?
Why am I directing my anger?
You shouldn't even argue back.
When he argues, you should just sit there and quiet.
Like you just analyze it.
And now you just F him up all the
way around.
I'm doing both of those things.
If you're listening, honey, I'm doing that tonight.
We have an argument. Has anybody ever
said, I don't want a black doctor? Oh, yeah.
People have said that. So more so in the
emergency room. And
at that point, I'm like, okay, well, I'm the only
one here. And so if you'd like to wait until the
morning, you can obviously. But, you know, then they realize OK, well, I'm the only one here. And so if you'd like to wait until the morning, you can obviously.
But, you know, then they realize like, oh, she's the only doctor right now.
Like she's the only psychiatrist.
It is. It is crazy.
It's crazy. And it just is a reminder at how much, you know, things haven't fully changed.
You know, one of the things that I thought about to talking about here is what's going on with the maternal, the black maternal, you know, death rate.
Yes.
Right.
And so we know that it's not because women are not educated or they're not making enough money.
What we know is that we're dealing with a lot of chronic stress that has to do with racism.
Right.
Right.
So for me to be on the receiving end of it, even to be like as, you know, I'm very well educated. Um, you know,
I read a lot, so I can at least put a few sentences together and sound articulate,
but that's not really my goal when I'm meeting with someone. They can deal with whatever they
want to deal with. I had so much anxiety when my wife had a third daughter a couple of weeks ago
because of that. Cause I had been reading up on the black maternal, you know, death rates and
stuff like that. And it was little things like they told her she had to have a C-section,
but she ended up not having to have a C-section.
So she had a vaginal birth.
And then as she was in labor, no epidurals.
All epidurals were in use.
So she had to have natural birth.
And I'm like, didn't y'all know she was coming?
Like, you know, that really bothered me.
What hospital was that?
I'll ask you behind the scenes.
That's weird.
Wow.
Wow.
I mean, so congratulations on having a baby.
But also I think what you're sharing is something that a lot of black families should be very like think a lot about.
You know, I'm a woman and I want to have kids one day, too.
And I think about that, too, because, you know, there's certainly there was an article that NPR put out and it was a woman who was literally a Ph.D.
And she worked to try to understand what's going on in our communities.
And she died shortly after giving birth to her first child. She had a community, you know, a lot
of very well-educated friends. I mean, I keep saying well-educated because I want people to
think like, this is not a poor woman's problem. This is not a problem of like, I didn't go to
the doctor on time. These are people who are like at every appointment, even people who are planning pregnancies. It's, it's very alarming. Um,
but I think that's another reason why therapy is an option, especially for black folk.
Give more info, Dr. Jess. So, um, right now people can follow me on Instagram. It's ask
Dr. Jess. Um, my website is askdrjess.com.
You can find my email there.
I'm also really interested in getting more information from other therapists of color.
I think that we really need to be doing more.
Be in those spaces.
Don't be like the white version of yourself.
Be your black version.
Seriously, like you got to be able to relate.
So go to my website.
If you're a therapist, we're going to have a special link.
I want you guys to connect with me, to Mere Data,
because there's some things I want to unfold in the future,
in the very, very near future.
Word.
Well, thank you for coming by.
Thank you.
Next time you come by, you've got to take some phone calls.
I'm sure there's a lot of people out there that have a million and one questions.
Oh, I'd love to do that.
Definitely.
Thank you guys.
You're right there in Brooklyn.
Pull up.
Yes.
We can make this a regular thing.
Okay.
All right. It's The Breakfast Club. It. We can make this a regular thing. Okay. All right.
It's The Breakfast Club.
It's Dr. Jessica Clemons.
The Breakfast Club.
She's spilling the tea.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, Dennis Hoff has passed away.
I was on Twitter yesterday and I saw that Dennis Hoff was trending.
And I was like, why is Dennis Hoff trending?
He's been up here a couple times, right?
Explain to people who Dennis Hoff is.
He owns the Bunny Ranch.
And you've seen that show on HBO, Cat House.
And he's the guy that owns the place where Lamar Odom overdosed.
That Bunny Ranch where Lamar Odom went and overdosed.
He was trying to get us to come to the Bunny Ranch several times.
Listen, when I used to work at Sirius,
he used to come up there all the time
and try to get us to do the show live from the Bunny Ranch.
But a lot of people did used to hang out with him.
He actually had a birthday party,
and Ron Jeremy was there.
Flava Flav was there.
Afro Man.
He had a lot of people that he used to hang out with.
He was 72 years old.
What they are saying is they got a 911 call from his love ranch.
I guess Ron Jeremy found him.
And when he went to sleep. I guess he just never
woke up. So they're saying there's no foul play
suspected. 72
years old, man. He lived a good life. Drop on the
clues bombs for Dennis Hoffman. He was also
in the middle of a campaign for state assembly.
He won the GOP primary back in June. He was
a big Trump supporter. Very lame way for him
to die. I mean, I think that if I was
to die, I would love to die
old, peacefully in my sleep.
But I mean,
you're Dennis Hoff,
head of the Bunny Ranch.
Like, you know,
you probably want to die
in like a wild orgy
or something.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, just let your heart
give out on you
when you're with like
three, four women.
I'm just saying.
That would hurt.
Like, you get a heart attack
when you have an orgasm.
And that's like
really traumatizing
for the people
who are in the room with you.
I'd rather just pass away sleeping.
I remember that though.
When you sent that text yesterday and, you know, she told us how he died, I was like, ah, I expected the story to end a little better than that.
You wanted a dramatic death?
Yeah.
No.
All right, Chance the Rapper.
He is going to be campaigning for a mayoral candidate, Amara Enya.
And here's what he had to say about that.
I'd like to say very narcissistically, if I back you, you have a chance.
Absolutely.
And I want to work with somebody that's that's about change, somebody that's about our community, somebody that's about equity, somebody that's about fairness.
And the one person that views align with me would obviously be candidate Amara Enya.
Yes, Amara Enya. Now, here's what she had to say about working with Chance on the campaign trail.
The difference between this endorsement and other typical endorsements is that this isn't a sort of flash in the pan, one off press conference and then it's over.
We're actually going to be partnering together and essentially campaigning together. That includes doing events together. We've got forums scheduled to talk about some key issues around education and the city's economy.
We've got fundraisers together. And he wants to be very much involved and out on the campaign trail.
Hey, man, Chance the Rapper is who he says he is. OK, salute that young man.
About the causes. and he's in Chicago
doing that work.
Now, he also went undercover
as a Lyft driver
and that is to announce
the ride-sharing apps partnership
with the New Chance Fund charity.
So here he is
as a Lyft driver undercover.
What kind of music
do you listen to?
You don't listen to hip-hop, do you?
Yeah, definitely.
Why?
I like Kanye,
Chance the Rapper.
I love Chance the Rapper, you know. Chance the Rapper. I love Chance the Rapper.
Chance the Rapper.
Yes.
Oh, Kendrick, also one of my favorites, obviously.
Kendrick is really good.
Is he better than Chance, though?
That's the real question.
There go that puppet dancing music.
You ever met Chance the Rapper?
No.
Couldn't beat him.
Get outta here!
Oh my God.
This is what makes me not believe you.
That's what I'm talking about.
What? Holy ****.
They sit in the front seat.
Who sits in the front seat in the Uber?
Nobody sits in the front seat in the Uber.
First of all, it's a Lyft.
A Lyft, okay.
Who sits in the front seat in the Lyft?
Some people do that.
Depends on how many other people are in the car.
There was nobody in the car.
One person.
Oh.
All I know is Chance the Rapper's music makes puppets dance.
And I think Chance is getting a little bit bigger than his music.
Y'all don't think so?
What do you mean?
Like his hymn, The Person, is getting bigger than his actual music.
When was the last time Chance the Rapper put out music?
I know you put out something, I think, earlier this year.
Like a couple months ago.
And them four songs are ringing.
What's the name of them?
That one, Workout, and...
It just curses.
It curses so much, there's no clean version. I can't play it on radio, but... Yeah. Workout plays on the just curses. It curses so much there's no clean version.
I can't play it on radio, but...
Yeah.
Workout plays on the radio?
I do, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Well, see, the kids love it.
My kids love it.
Chance has only had a couple of songs
that were real big radio songs anyway.
I know.
But he always used to sell out festivals
and everything even before that.
Yeah, he's got albums people like.
My daughter's favorite artist.
She plays his music all the time.
And Trippie Redd.
So you might not listen to it.
I'm not saying nobody's listening to it.
I'm just saying that I feel like he's getting bigger than his actual music.
That's all I'm saying.
I don't know.
Change the rapper to the person, the personality.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
I get it, though.
That's a big statement because he's so big as an artist anyway.
Yeah.
But his music is huge, too.
Kids really follow his music.
All right, Charlamagne.
Yes.
Who you giving that donkey to?
Well, you know, speaking of Chance the Rapper, this is kind of all in the same family.
Well, at least it used to be.
The Save Money crew.
We need Vic Minster to come to the front of the congregation.
I'd like to have a word with the young man.
Okay.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkeys of the Day.
I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed life.
So like a donkey.
Keyhole.
Donkey of the Day.
The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but Donkey of the Day is a new one.
Yeah, it's Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, October 17th.
Goes to a rapper I really enjoy named Vic Mensa.
Now, Vic, for the past couple weeks,
has been getting flack for his BET Hip Hop Awards cipher,
in which they were saying he dissed a young man
who was murdered this summer, XXXTentacion.
Now, I reserved judgment on this situation
until I heard it for myself,
and BET bleeped it out last night,
but I'll fill in the blanks. Let's hear it.
Loser, your favorite rapper's a domestic abuser
Hey, name a single Vic
Mensa song. We all
know you won't live that long. I don't
respect posthumously
Homicide ain't new to me. Catch up with academic
sexual eulogy. Now the lines
that were bleeped out was your favorite
rapper is a domestic abuser. Name a single
Vic Mensa song
XXX.
We all know
you won't live that long.
I don't respect
N-words posthumously.
Homicide ain't new to me.
Homicide.
Homicide.
Excuse me.
Ain't new to me.
Catch up with academics
at your eulogy.
Now, I am a fan
of free speech.
Everyone has the right
to say whatever it is
they want to say,
but once you say it,
you have to deal
with the consequences
and repercussions
of your words, okay?
You put that energy out, so you will get that energy back.
I saw Zoe Dollaz on Bootleg Kevin, DJ Head, show on Real 92.3 in L.A.,
and this is the kind of energy Vic Mensa is getting back from what he said.
Let's hear what Zoe Dollaz had to say.
Did you see that Vic Mensa f***ed up?
F*** him.
So that's what I wanted to ask you about.
Yeah, we want smoke behind that.
We want all the smoke behind that.
F*** him. Period. It's that simple. We want smoke behind that. We want all the smoke behind that. F*** him.
Period.
It's that simple.
We want smoke behind that.
We don't want no apologies.
Go apologize to X.
You can't apologize to him.
He dead.
There's no conversation.
If any one of us ex-homeboys run into him, we're going to knock him out.
If that's the 2019, this is how we're moving.
Disrespect gets you knocked out.
Period.
Now, that has been the common sentiment among a lot of people and artists,
and I understand.
I get it now.
I didn't know of any issues between Vic Mensa and XXX when X was alive,
and if they did have an issue, cool.
Vic's keeping that same energy.
If you didn't like someone when they were alive,
those feelings don't change when the person dies.
But I think the reason these bars didn't feel right was because it feels cheap coming from Vic Mensa.
Vic Mensa is a brother from Chicago
that we have seen on the front lines
in Chicago standing up for the Laquan
McDonalds of the world, standing up against
the violence that has happened to young black
and brown people at the hands of the police.
Vic Minster should know better than anyone
that senseless violence is senseless violence
regardless of who it happens to.
To say
you don't respect N-words posthumously, okay?
Say the word for me.
Homicide?
Homicide.
Homicide ain't new to me, all right?
My brother Vic, he's smarter than that.
And to send a shot at X for getting killed is weak, all right?
Don't throw a shot at X.
Throw a shot at the people who killed him.
And you start the bars off by saying your favorite rapper is a domestic abuser.
Vic, does that include you, my brother?
I have no problem with someone calling out the piss-poor behavior of men,
especially when it comes to violence towards women,
but we first must address the skeletons in our own closet.
See, I am an appreciator of Vic Minster's music,
and unlike a lot of y'all, I can name Vic Minster's songs.
So on his EP, there's a lot going on.
On the title track, he raps about getting drunk and making the mistake of putting his hands on his girlfriend.
Let's hear it. I ended up in the closet with my hands around her neck. I was tripping, dog. Too proud to apologize or empathize.
I blamed it all on her.
Saying that she hit me first, even though she was the one hurt.
Now, I appreciate that kind of honesty.
Because smart people learn from their own mistakes.
Wise people learn from the mistakes of others.
When Vic Mensa shares stuff like that in records and acknowledges it was wrong like he has,
then it may prevent someone else from making the same mistake.
We actually had Vic on The Breakfast Club
back when that record dropped and I asked him
about that exact line and he explained it.
Talk about between me and her, how
far it went. Yeah, I mean, I was just...
He choked her out in the song. That's the
beginning of the story. That's
the most... That's when you realized this is going...
I mean, that's when I realized that
wow, but that was like maybe
two years or something before we broke up.
So in my album, I deal with a lot more of just like some crazy.
But you also, when you did that, realized this is not a good situation.
I realized, you know, like just I'm not proud of that.
I didn't put, I don't talk about things like that in record because I want to brag.
Like, I think that my biggest strength is that I'm able to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, so help me God.
See, you live and you learn.
Now, here's why Vic is getting donkier today.
Vic, you are calling out XXXTentacion for his alleged violence towards a woman.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I saw a video of X hitting a woman in 2013,
which means he was about 15 years old.
Also, X was going to sue the woman for fraud and defamation after her family
allegedly demanded a large sum of money in exchange for her silence.
And the woman later released a statement saying that the version of events described by X
was correct and the charges on X were dropped.
Look, I don't know what these kids do behind closed doors.
Okay?
I know that we all have demons and everyone is allowed to grow, though.
All right?
Vic, you are allowed to grow, so you should extend that same courtesy to others but you
can't extend that courtesy to XXXTentacion
because sadly he was
killed at 20 years old so for that
reason and that reason alone, you should just
show some respect and leave it alone.
You know, not make a mockery of the man's
life and death, alright? We don't know what state of mind
that brother was in when he died nor do we know
what kind of testimony he would have gave later
in life based off his experiences.
All right.
We have to stop acting like people don't make mistakes without continual growth and progress.
Words like improvement, achievement and success have no meaning.
But once again, XXX didn't get the chance to grow because he was killed at only 20 years
old.
Vic, you don't strike me as a cloud chaser, a person who says things for shock value.
And I truly believe you when you say that you are all about holding people accountable for their actions when it comes to violence against against women.
But let's put that energy on the brothers that are alive.
All right. The brothers who still have a chance to learn from their mistakes.
All right. Getting that a dead man only distracts from the message of you holding domestic abusers accountable.
Listen, kids, the purpose of learning is growth.
And our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live.
Key words, as we continue to live.
Something XXXTentacion did not get to do.
Please give Vic Minster the biggest e-haul.
Ain't no need to double down on this, Vic.
Just admit she was wrong and carry on.
Alright. Thank you for that donkey
today. Now, don't forget Ella May
will be joining us after the mix. She'll be in the
building after the mix this morning, so
Ella May will be joining us. But up next
is Ask Yee.
800-585-1051.
If you need relationship advice or any type of advice,
call Yee right now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Right the book out.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's time for Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
What's up?
Envy, this is Alvin calling out of Melbourne, Florida.
What's up, bro?
What's your question for you?
Yeah, I need advice on how to find this girl I met in August.
We hooked up.
I seen her at a bus stop.
We ended up chatting for a little bit.
I got her number.
We came back to my house, and we messed around.
But it was in my old phone, right? So my old phone, and I'm getting lost,
and I can't think of her number.
I remember the first three digits,
but I can't remember the last four,
and I'm trying to get a hold of her.
I know she's staying in Melbourne somewhere in my city,
but I can't get a hold of her.
I don't know where she at.
I'm trying to give a shout-out to her
because I love her.
So you don't know her.
You love her.
So you don't know her.
Wow, you love her already?
You know her first and last name?
I know her first name,
but I can't think of her last name. How you love her? You don I know her first name, but I can't think of her last name.
How you love her you don't know her last name, bro?
He messed around with her one time.
How about can you go online and look at all the numbers that you dialed?
If you go online and look at your phone bill?
I got a whole new phone.
I got a whole new number and everything.
Yeah, why don't you just go to the bus stop?
I don't think she'll be there anymore.
This is August.
But listen, you know you can go look up all the numbers that you dialed on your old phone bill.
Oh, okay.
I would do that.
Because that's happened to me before where I've had to find somebody's phone number
and I couldn't remember it and I lost my phone.
And I just went and put in my password online
and I was able to pull up all the old numbers that I dialed.
Oh, okay.
Because I don't remember my password enough.
I know her first name is Sarah, but I can't remember
the last name.
She was a little dime piece.
I'm trying to get a hold of her
again until I say what's up.
All right.
So her name is Sarah.
She's from where?
She's from Melbourne, Florida.
And you love her?
I love her.
From Melbourne, Florida.
When I was sleeping in the bed,
the same spot where we did
our thing,
and I heard her name
calling me.
I heard her say,
why he wouldn't call me
and I heard her crying. Is she alive? She came, why he wouldn't call me? I heard her crying.
Was she alive?
She came to you as a spirit?
She was alive, yeah.
I have a question.
Why did you change your phone number?
I can't.
No, I lost my phone, and I had to get a whole new phone.
I know, but did you say you changed your phone number also?
Yeah, I got a whole new service plan and everything.
I'm a number change and everything.
She probably been trying to call it, and I just can't get a hold of it.
All right, now, if she's listening, how can
Sarah from Melbourne, Florida, and anybody
who knows her, hit us up.
This is what you're going to do. You're going to send me your information
and then
you're going to send that to helpmehe
at gmail.com and then hopefully
we'll find Sarah from Melbourne. We're going to ask her
to send her picture and then we'll send
it to you, make sure. I wouldn't call him back.
He's too clingy. He loves me already?
Yeah, but he also
changed his number.
He loves you already?
I don't understand
if you really wanted
to track this woman down
while you would change
your phone number
and not just...
No, I didn't change it.
I just had to get a hold of him.
Yeah, but you know
you can take your number
from one service
and bring it to the other.
You're too clingy, bro.
Yeah.
No, I ain't that clingy,
but I just, I don't know.
I just, I want to be what,
I want to know how she is.
You don't even know
her last name, man.
Look, I haven't been in a relationship want to know how she is. You don't even know her last name, man. Look, I haven't been
in a relationship
since 2015, Envy.
That's why.
Since 2015.
You don't even know her credit.

Can I tell y'all something?
Cashflow Diggity.
Friends don't let friends get pregnant from SoundCloud mixtape rappers, okay?
Nah, man.
I've been doing this since the age of 10.
Man, my biggest inspiration was Tupac Shakur.
That's what got me started.
Well, let's hear something right now.
Take us out.
Yeah.
Go ahead, do something live.
Take us out of this.
You're a rapper.
You've been doing this since you were 10.
All right, my name is Cash Flow,
coming from the 954, representing the 321.
You're all ready to...
Oh, boo.
Boo.

Uber's hiring, bro.
Ask E, man.
800-585-1051.
Sarah, if you're listening, run.
Just run.
I'm trying, guys, but Envy and Charlamagne are haters.
Yo, come on now.
Ball up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne, the guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're in the middle of Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
Hi.
I actually want to keep myself anonymous.
All right, anonymous.
What's your question for Yee?
So a couple years back, I was pretty devastated to learn that the probability of me reproducing
was highly unlikely.
So my question is, when is a good time to tell, I'm single right now, but when will
be a good time to tell a person that I'm interested in?
I mean, I think that that would have to come with, if you end up dating somebody
and you feel like
it's getting serious,
that's when you have that talk.
Well, she said
she can't have a baby?
Yeah.
And so that's not something
that I would bring up right away,
but if you are starting
to like somebody enough
that you feel like
you want to be exclusive with them,
that would be the time
for you guys
to have that discussion.
What is the problem
that they're saying
that you can't have children?
I just have a lot of complications, medical stuff.
But it's not that it's impossible.
It's that it's going to be difficult.
Highly unlikely, right.
Right.
That doesn't mean impossible.
Yeah, exactly.
I know a lot of people that have kids that have been told the same exact thing
and still have minutes to do that.
That's something that I feel like I would want to know about somebody right away.
Well, right away or when you decide that you might want to get a little more serious.
Right, right.
But should that be like before we're claiming each other or should that be like how early on?
I think that's up to you and you can feel it out in your situation.
But before we become exclusive, that would be a conversation that I would have.
So if you guys have gone on a few different dates and it's something that you feel like you might want to be with this person
and you feel that he might want to be with you
that's when you have those discussions.
Okay.
You know, and listen, there's a lot of alternatives too
but A, it's not impossible.
You have to let them know that it is difficult
and your doctor said unlikely
and figure out ways that you can perhaps
make those chances stronger for you.
But of course, there's always other options, too.
You know, there's a lot of kids out there that need homes, that need love,
and you can also look at that as an option as well.
Yeah, you're right.
All right, good luck to you, hon.
Thank you, guys.
All righty, mama.
All right, ask Yee, 805-85-1051.
If you need relationship advice, you can hit Yee up at any time.
Now, don't forget Ella May.
She's going to be joining us after the mix next hour.
So keep it locked.
Ella Mai will be in the building.
But we got rumors on the way, E.
Yes, let's talk about Pusha T.
He went on Joe Budden's podcast.
And he's revealing who actually gave him the information about Drake.
And it's not what Drake thinks it is.
All right.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Listen up. It's just the end. All the gossip. Gossip. all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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, Pusha T.
Oh, my God.
Drake versus Pusha T versus Kanye and all of this.
Now, let's talk about, flashback to what Drake had to say on the shop with LeBron and Maverick
when he was talking about how Kanye had information about him.
I'm in Wyoming.
I play on March 14th.
I send him a picture of my son.
I tell him I'm having trouble with my son's mother.
So I wake up and all these dates are out one by one by one all around June 15th.
Then the next two days whatever i wake up now
to this text from him passive like sends me a something i did yo i love you brother
if kanye did that that's lame as hell all right well according to pusha t that's actually not
what happened now pusha t has his own and he he is very direct and straightforward in saying how
he got this information uh here's what he said on Joe Button's podcast.
The information came from 40.
It didn't come from Kanye.
40 is sleeping with a woman.
You know, he talks to her daily, five, six hours a day,
and ultimately speaks about how he's disgruntled about certain things,
notoriety and things involving Drake and his career, so on and so forth.
With that also came the fact that Drake has a child.
With that also came the trip that everybody took to go see the child and bring him gifts
and all of this information.
She divulged this information.
She has a great personality.
That's where it came from.
So 40 was pillow talking with a young lady.
That's what it sounds like.
If you guys remember, a couple months ago on my rumor report, I said this.
But according to a source that I heard from that's very close to their camp with good information,
they said it was actually a young lady that gave the information to Pusha T, somebody that Drake knew.
Well, now it's a popularity contest because Drake gave a version, Pusha gave a version,
and whoever you believe depends on who you like the most.
But Pusha was very direct in his version.
I think Drake had a theory about
what happened is what it seemed like to me. It seems like his
theory was that he was with
Kanye and this is what must have
happened. And Pusha's saying,
no, this is actually what happened.
Why are people acting like the young lady,
the baby mama, didn't have a Twitter page
and was tweeting that Drake was a deadbeat?
Yes, she definitely was.
And a lot of people knew her.
But there was like three women that said
they were pregnant by Drake at the time.
I just remember her specifically
because she was a porn star.
And I remember people pointing me to that page
and the bio said Drake is a deadbeat dad.
No, there was a couple women at the time, I believe.
Right.
So I don't know.
These guys know what the truth is. Really, Pusha T
knows who told him. Period.
And he's saying that's who told him.
Who cares at this point?
I don't know. People care. Now,
let's talk about some new music.
Remy, Ma, and Papoose, they have a
collab together. And this
song is about their baby,
their unborn child. It's called
The Golden Child. Here's Papoose's part. I question God like why is this happening? You know it's bad Everything that happened, happened for a reason
I know it now
We argue what we gonna name you
I feel that's over now
It don't matter to me
Cause to me your name is the golden child
Here's Remy Ma's part
Let's hear Remy's part
First comes love and then comes marriage
Never mention the devastation
That happened, the miscarriage
I was torn up
Broken down, felt less than a woman
But all that pain was erased when the doctor said you was coming
Me and daddy were so happy, this is all we ever wanted
So protective of your presence, I was scared to show my stomach
The rumors had to double, said pregnancy's supposed to change my belly
Your dad would rub it, He was hating on my angels.
Pap and Remy make me feel like I'm not doing enough.
I'm going to go get matching Pelly Pelly leather coats for me and my wife this winter, man.
You should.
You should, yeah.
And y'all DJs better play that record, too.
That record's dope.
I like the record.
No, I ain't asking if you like it.
I said y'all better play it, all right?
Because that's like when somebody walks up to you with a Jesus pamphlet in the street,
you can't throw it away because if you do, you're throwing away Jesus.
You can't throw away black love.
You should tell all the programs and organizations you've been playing.
Tell all the programs and organizations you've been playing that record.
I'm talking to a DJ named DJ Envy
who got nominated for Best DJ of the Year last night
at the BET Hip Hop Awards.
That means you won one of the five best DJs in the country.
Sounds like you need to be telling Khaled that.
I didn't win.
Khaled definitely didn't win.
Because he won.
I didn't win.
All right, and last but not least, according to TMZ,
Cardi B has some new music, but her team is locked.
They're not sure what she should do because she has some songs
where she's taking shots at Nicki Minaj,
but some of her team feels like just let it go,
and this is actually going to benefit Nicki
if you put the spotlight back on her.
And so they think those dishes should be gone from the records,
but the strategy is do we ignore Nicki Minaj or do we address it?
The record I heard that I really enjoy, I don't hand no shots to Nicki in that record.
I guess she has a lot of music, though, that she's done.
How many records you heard?
One that I remember.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
You worked there and only heard one record?
Yeah, I haven't heard it yet.
Okay.
All right.
Well, shout to Eminem.
Today's Eminem's birthday.
Yeah, but by the way, we're not going to sit here and act like y'all ain't paid Little Duvall no respect this morning.
All right?
Like, he didn't shut down the BET Hip Hop Awards last night.
It's your fault.
We wanted to play it, but you kept talking over and over.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Like, he didn't have the best performance last night.
I don't go over and beyond for Little Duvall.
I play his record all the time before anybody's playing with it.
I ain't ask you that.
I just said.
I ain't call that man.
It's time to put the hook first.
Drop one of the clues bombs for Lil Duval.
Shout out to Lil Duval.
41 years old.
Out here with a hit record.
Living his best life.
You know, closing out the BET Hip Hop Awards, okay?
Shout out to Revolt.
We'll see you tomorrow.
And like I said, it's Eminem's birthday.
Happy birthday to Eminem.
Happy birthday, Mr. Marshall Mathers.
We're going to start the mix off with some Eminem, all right?
Let me know your favorite Eminem joints.
We've got a couple of Eminem joints we're going to get on what?
Pay homage to the white man, but won't pay homage to Lil Duval.
I see what's going on here.
Holy shit, the dude!
Holy shit, the dude!
Nah, I'm not kidding.
Holy shit, the dude!
Holy shit, the dude!
Hey!
All right.
Mix is up next, and don't forget Ella Mai.
