Starting point is 00:02:57 Your people's choice. Angela Yee. I'm a sweetheart, but I'll cut you. Charlamagne Tha God. Principals and people. I can't believe you guys are the best, kid. Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, USA. What kind of feeling? Had a cavity causing me a little bad breath. You know what I mean? Filling, filling. Salute to everybody out there who may need a filling right now or a root canal but don't know it and you wonder why your mouth stinks.
Starting point is 00:03:50 You keep trying to put in gum and suck mints and all kind of stuff, but it ain't working. All day long, you got morning breath. Morning breath in the mid-afternoon. Well, you know, I'm an expert at going to the dentist. Because your uncle's a dentist. Yes, and my dad actually manages the office. And I tell you this, when you have a toothache, you should really be concerned when it stops hurting because that means the nerve is dead.
Starting point is 00:04:10 That means that you need a root canal. Ooh, that's when your breath gets real thick. Real bad. Lord have mercy. As soon as your tooth is hurting, that's why you need to go to the dentist and take care of it. That's the difference between having a filling from a cavity and having to get a root canal.
Starting point is 00:04:22 It's all bad. You should go see the dentist twice a year if you can. You ever smell somebody's breath and be like, dang, somebody smelled like something went in your mouth and died. It did. It's called a nerve. You need a root canal. And shout to Uncle Yee and Papa Yee.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Yes. Some of their correct names. I just call them Uncle Yee and Papa Yee. That's Dr. Gary Yee in Westfield, New Jersey. There you go. That'll help you out if you need one. Oh, no, not Westfield. Carteret, New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Carteret, New Jersey. That'll help you out if you need it. Oh, no, not Westfield. Carteret, New Jersey. Carteret, New Jersey. That'll help you out if you need it. It's not painful. Yeah. Whatever you need. Well, I got my filling done, so I'll be talking
Starting point is 00:04:52 a lot more than usual, especially in your face. There you go. You know, when you know your breath don't smell too good, you try to stay away from people. Talk down at an angle. Now I'm straight at you.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Straight at you like this. What's happening? Well, I had a long night yesterday. Did you? Yes, apparently. Now, this has been going on for two days now. Somebody keeps calling and delivering food to my address. So...
Starting point is 00:05:14 Who was it? I don't know who it is. What kind of food? Somebody's trying to be funny. So, first they called Papa John's last night at like 1 in the morning. Is it paid for? No, it's not paid for. Oh, that's funny.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Yeah. I didn't think about that. I should have done that when I was a kid. That would be funny. It seems like a kid doing it. Do. Is it paid for? No, it's not paid for. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. I didn't think about that. I should have did that when I was a kid. That would be funny. It seems like a kid doing it. Do they know it's you? Yeah, because it has
Starting point is 00:05:29 my name on it, but it has somebody else's phone number, but it's like one of those voice IP numbers. You don't mind people just having your address like that?
Starting point is 00:05:35 Well, I don't know who it is, Charlamagne. There's some random person, clearly. If you live on my block, you know I live there. Ooh. Right.

Starting point is 00:06:06 And then I had to call Grubhub and everything because they've been calling Grubhub and Papa John's and doing this. Oh, that edible dildo coming. That edible dildo is on its way. He's just working his way up. He's been sending the appetizers, but that man calls coming. Yeah, they said they have the person's email address and IP address and all that.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I mean, it's so easy to get somebody's house address now. It's very difficult to keep it away from anybody. Yeah, it's really hard. You probably could Google. Just Google somebody and it's that simple. You know you can get all that stuff erased, right? You can, but they can still find it. You know you can get all that stuff erased, right?

Starting point is 00:07:24 Front page news. What we doing? We are going to talk about Donald Trump. We don't have to. Yeah, we kind of do. We really don't. We kind of do because there's a lot going on and there's no way you can address these things and not know about them. Alright, we'll get to that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's Bad and Bougie.

Starting point is 00:07:54 And good morning. We like to ask everybody to call us up and tell us why you're blessed. Blessings on blessings on blessings. We'd love to hear some positivity, some positive news in your life. Whatever you're going through that's positive, call us up now. We'll put you on the air. 800-585-1051. Well, it is a balance of righteousness and righteousness because we do to tell them why you're mad.
Starting point is 00:08:12 And then we have people call up and see why they're blessed and highly favored. We'll do that in a little bit. Yeah, we'll do that in a little bit. But right now, just call us up and tell us why you're blessed. All right? Let's get some front page news. Now, the sports, the Patriots, if you're a Patriot fan, the parade will go down today in Boston.
Starting point is 00:08:28 You going, Envy? No. Tom Brady actually posted on Instagram. He said, catch me at the parade. How about that? Trying to sound like the little chick from Dr. Phil. But I will say this. This is one thing that we didn't take into consideration the other two. Another record was broken the other night on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:08:40 What? Tom Brady's the first person to beat the Internet. You know how we always say the Internet is undefeated? That's true. Tom Brady beat the Internet on Sunday night. Right Tom Brady's the first person to beat the internet. You know how we always say the internet is undefeated? That's true. Tom Brady beat the internet on Sunday night. Right. Because the internet
Starting point is 00:08:47 had him buried. Like, we had him in the grave putting the dirt on him and he rose from that casket and defeated the internet. Like, the Michael Jordan face was almost on him. It was 75%.
Starting point is 00:08:58 75% and he beat it. So, drop on the clues, Bob, for that white man beating the internet. He's also one of the first players I ever seen didn't take the jet back with the team. Oh, he took a private jet. He took his private jet with his wife and kids.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Yeah, I guess after all that. All right. Now let's talk about Trump. What are we talking about with Trump? Oh, man. So many different things. First of all, Donald Trump is not welcome to address Parliament. The UK Speaker has said that.
Starting point is 00:09:21 They're going to block him from speaking. Speaker John Burkhardt said he was strongly opposed to Donald Trump addressing Parliament during an upcoming state visit to the UK because they oppose racism and sexism and they support equality and an independent judiciary. Here's what he had to say. As far as this place is concerned, I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House of Commons.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Dropping a clues bomb for the UK. It's not looking good for us. We should feel the same way, though. Like, why are we embracing racism? Why are we embracing discrimination and bigotry? F that. All right, well, Donald Trump is also saying that he feels like the White House, that he feels like the media is not covering terrorist attacks at all.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Here's what he had to say. Radical Islamic terrorists are determined to strike our homeland as they did on 9-11, as they did from Boston to Orlando to San Bernardino and all across Europe. You've seen what happened in Paris and Nice all over Europe. It's happening. It's gotten to a point where it's not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report it. They have their reasons, and you understand that.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Well, Donald Trump got to stop watching SNL and start watching the news because we are very aware of every single situation he just named. I thought I'd see a lot of them on TV. Yeah, he even lists, so let me tell you what they did. The White House actually gave a list of 78 attacks that they felt like were not widely reported among those on the list. The Orlando nightclub shooting. That was on the list?
Starting point is 00:11:08 Yes. No way. The San Bernardino shooting. Oh my goodness. The Paris attacks. All of these were on the list and they were very widely reported, very extensively.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Now here's what Sean Spicer had to say. Look, I think the president's comments were very clear at the time. He felt as though members of the media don't always cover some of those events to the extent that other events might get covered. A protest will get blown out of the water, and yet an attack or a foiled attack doesn't necessarily get the same coverage. See, they're just trying to—they're insulting our intelligence at this point. Come on now.
Starting point is 00:11:38 But this is the thing, right? The list of targeted countries is what? Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. None of the perpetrators of the major U.S. terrorist attacks carried out in the name of Islam in the past 15 years have come from any of those countries. Like all of those terrorist attacks he named didn't come from none of the countries on the list. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:57 So what's the problem? It's a financial thing. It seems like it's personal for him. Now I want to talk about the Women's March because the organizers from the Women's March from last month have announced yesterday they want to have a general strike at a date to be determined. It's called General Strike, A Day Without a Woman,
Starting point is 00:12:13 date to be announced. So they're going to have a day where, you know, just to show how important we are as women. Drop on the clues bombs for them women. Tamika Mallory, Linda Sossauer, Carmen Perez. That's actually a great idea. I thought African-Americans should come together and do something like that too and call it a blackout.
Starting point is 00:12:30 All the black people don't show up to do nothing for one day. Everybody stay home. Everybody. No work, no school, no nothing. Just show the world what it would look like, well, America, what it would look like without black people. So just so you guys know, things do matter. Now, another thing that happened after Delete Uber happened,
Starting point is 00:12:43 Grab Your Wallet boycott happened. Every store that has anything Trump-related, people have been not spending money there. And because of that, Neiman Marcus Nordstrom has dropped Ivanka Trump's line and now Macy's is feeling the pressure to do the same thing. Okay. Alright, well that's front page news. Now tell them why you're mad.
Starting point is 00:13:00 800-585-1051 If you're upset, you need to vent, call us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, maybe you're still upset The Falcons lost, whatever it may be Call us up right now 800-585-1051 Tell them why you're mad And Wyclef Jean will be joining us next time Wyclef will be joining us, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning

Starting point is 00:14:11 I'm dating this little guy. He's nice. You know, we started, like, at his time in sex, and he's too quick for me. And he's a nice guy, but I just can't. What do you mean he's too quick? He busts his off ass? Yeah. Damn.
Starting point is 00:14:27 But you know what? That's because your poom-poom's so good, boo. But that's the excuse I use. Well, is he able to go again after? He is. He is able to go again, but I can't even say it. It's kind of quick. He should be happy.
Starting point is 00:14:38 That should be good. That should be a good thing. She's not happy if she's not getting hers, though. Because once I go, I'm going to sleep. She's not satisfied. Ma, ma. She's not satisfied. You need to tell him to do a lot once I go, I'm going to sleep. She's not satisfied. Ma, ma. She's not satisfied. You need to tell him to do a lot more foreplay for you then.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Yeah, he got a mouth, right, ma? Yeah, and he's scared. I ain't grabbing by his lips and say what that jaw do, sir. That's all. And as soon as he tells you, uh-oh, I'm about, then you got to stop. They didn't stop. Yeah, you know when you're about to bust. Just stop.
Starting point is 00:15:01 You got to learn how to control himself and get his rhythm right. Right, you're right. I'm going to take that advice because right now, I just, you know, I don't want to cheat on him, but I got to go out and eat. Lord have mercy.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Hello, who's this? Hello, this is James Johnson. James, tell them why you mad. Man, I had a temp job down here in Charlotte. I had a temp job and they closed the damn temp out of nowhere
Starting point is 00:15:24 on the second day of work. Boy, I ain't got a lot of temp jobs. The temp place used to keep a brother alive back in the day, bro. Man, no drug test. Me and my cousin got on there. God sent. It was a God sent, man.
Starting point is 00:15:34 I'm thinking we're going to get paid. Man, that temp... Second day. Oh, go ahead. Second day in, 12 o'clock, they come tell us that they're closing. We got to sign with another temp agency. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:15:43 We still going to get paid our $11 an hour, 12-hour shift. I'm good. Okay. We got to go through the whole hiring process again. Them temp services back in the day used to be like a choose-your-own-adventure book. You never knew you had to go for that day or for the week. Yeah, and I was good with that. They're talking about, can you work a day?
Starting point is 00:16:00 I can come in and work a day. You damn right. I'm going to come get that $34, whatever it is. You damn right. Now, what if they offer you a full-time job? Do you want it? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:11 But see, the whole thing is I can't even continue to work at the Cherries Berries because the temp agency won't hire us. Our temp agency spread us out to be hired by the other temp agencies that was working at the company, and we got to be hired all over, and they that was working at the company and we gotta be hired all over and they gotta drug test us. Did you say Sherry's Berries? I love Sherry's Berries, man.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Yeah, Sherry's Berries was sweet. That was sweet. That was easy. Alright, man. Keep going, my brother. I used to work at the temp service, man. Tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1050. What was the craziest job you had, Charlamagne? Craziest job I ever had, I worked at a flower garden.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I worked at a flower garden on Highway 52 in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. So you was a botanist. I used to be the only, used to be like all immigrants out there. Everybody that Donald Trump wants to keep out the country, there used to be nothing but Mexicans out there, and I was like the only black dude. And I only worked there for like a week and a half, two weeks. I couldn't take it.
Starting point is 00:17:07 We'd be out there in the hot 110 degree South Carolina weather. That's the problem. Why couldn't you take it? It was too much, man. I was young. And then one day the bus, the school bus came by and all the kids saw me and laughed at me. And I was like, oh, F that.

All right, well, let's get to the rumors and talk a new biopic.
Starting point is 00:21:31 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, Mr. Dalvin from Jodeci posted on Instagram,
Starting point is 00:21:46 me and JoJo up in the Bay Area. Yes, the Jodeci biopic is coming. For all the casting inquiries, they will be announced soon. Thanks for the love and support. Here he is on Instagram. Well, they actually went, they started the process last September. They just finished the script and we're going into production next month. So we're looking at probably
Starting point is 00:22:05 like the end of the year release. Do you know what channel you're just going to film it first? Well, VH1 bought the rights. They're on the rights so far. Who? VH1. You can't do a Jodeci biopic
Starting point is 00:22:14 without doing Uptown Records first. VH1 should do a story of Uptown Records first. That'll cover how Andre Harrell discovered Jodeci and Mary J. Blige and Heavy D. Then you branch out into the individual movies.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Treat it like a Marvel movie. Take your time. Give us Uptown Records first, then give us the individual superhero movies. That would be the smart thing to do. I'm not mad at that. No, they are. I feel like they can all stand alone. Yeah, but why?
Starting point is 00:22:34 When you got this historic label, Uptown Records, it could be like the new Cadillac Records. You give us Uptown first, then give us the individual stories. Eat for a year. Why eat once when you can eat for a long time? I don't feel like it even has to go in order, though. No, no, no. I agree. If you really think about it, time? It has to go in order, though. No, no, no. I agree. But see,
Starting point is 00:22:45 if you really think about it, Jodeci is really an African-American group. New Edition was kind of crossed over. New Edition was broad. Yes, absolutely. But if you start off
Starting point is 00:22:54 with Uptown and then you get into everything that Uptown signed. Absolutely. Well, maybe Jodeci signed a deal and they want to get their money now.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Maybe VH1 needs to sit down with Andre Harrell first. Yeah, they should do the Uptown movie first. Well, listen, it looks like they already is getting ready, underway, started.
Starting point is 00:23:09 I'm telling you how this went down. It was in a corporate boardroom. The TLC movie worked. Like, who can we do next? Boyz II Men, Jody. See, they took a vote so Mike probably said Jody.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Because who was on Uptown? You got Mary was on Uptown. Mary J. Blige, Heavy D, Al B. Shaw, Christopher Williams, McGruff, Horace Grant,ath Horace Grant
Starting point is 00:23:26 Horace Brown Jeff Ray come on man that's all I'm saying Puff was the intern at Uptown Records Andre Harrell gave all those dudes
Starting point is 00:23:35 they thought you gotta start with Uptown first then branch out to the individual I don't usually agree with you but yeah I agree with this you need to start agreeing with me I'm the one with the sense
Starting point is 00:23:41 keep treating me like I'm Rafiki from the line I'm excited for a Jodeci movie, period. It's going to be good. It could be better. It could be more broad. Yes, it could be bigger. All right, now Power has added Lorenz Tate to the cast, so that's pretty exciting.
Starting point is 00:23:54 He's going to have a recurring role on the new season. They said he's going to join as Councilman Rashad Tate, who's a city councilman from Jamaica, Queens. Who is that now? Lorenz Tate. Lorenz Tate. Drop one of Clues bombs? Lorenz Tate. Lorenz Tate. Drop one of the clues bombs for Lorenz Tate. Oh, dog. 48 years old, still looking 19.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Look like he ain't never had a piece of red meat in his life. Don't do nothing but drink water. And vegetables. Now back to the Super Bowl. Lady Gaga, her halftime show was the second most watched halftime show in history. Who's number one? Number one is Katy Perry. Really? Over Beyonce? He said it like he knew Beyonce was number. Who's number one? Number one is Katy Perry. Really?
Starting point is 00:24:25 Oh, Beyonce? He said it like he knew Beyonce was number one. Who number one? By the way, I love Katy. Y'all know I love me some Katy Perry now. But, man, for real?
Starting point is 00:24:34 That's right. She's number one and Lady Gaga is now number two. Where's Beyonce on that list? Just curious, you know? I don't know. I think it is in the top five, though. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Because I remember they had a whole list of the most watched ones. I know Janet Jackson was up there. What about Michael? What, Michael did it? Yeah, he was up in the top five, though. Okay. Because I remember they had a whole list of the most watched ones. I know Janet Jackson was up there. What about Michael? Well, Michael did it. Yeah, he was up in the top ten. Okay. Also.
Starting point is 00:24:50 All right. So in addition to that, she actually ended up selling 150,000 digital albums and songs in the United States. But, you know, the Super Bowl does get bigger and bigger every year, though. So I guess it does. That's why. Right. Still surprised Katy Perry's number one, though.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Well, she is. Alright, and Tom Brady in the meantime, his jersey got stolen after the game. Now, according to reports, they said a Patriots equipment manager actually took the jersey and put it in a safe place for Tom Brady. They said it wasn't stolen, but Tom Brady spoke
Starting point is 00:25:20 at a news conference and said the jersey is still missing and he's concerned that it's going to end up on eBay. But if you put it up on eBay, won't it come right back to you? Can't you be in trouble for that? Well, he's looking out for it. Yeah, it's numbered. I thought they said they had it.
Starting point is 00:25:33 I thought the equipment guy had it. Yeah, the equipment guy said he has it, but Tom Brady says he still hasn't received it. It's still missing. Yeah, they got that. That ain't going nowhere. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Reports. I always wonder how you can even prove that's the jersey he played in for the game.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I think they're numbered. They're all numbered. Oh, gotcha. They're all numbered. Like the balls, the footballs, and the baseballs are all numbered, so when they hit a home run, they know exactly what ball it was and everything. Gotcha. All right. Well, when we come back, Wyclef Jean will be joining us.
Starting point is 00:25:58 We'll kick it with Wyclef, of course, from the Fuji. So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Another one. That was DJ Khaled for free. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:26:11 We are The Breakfast Club. We got the legendary families. Wyclef Jean is in the building. What's up, my family? He just put out an EP, Juvert. No, Juve. Juve. I'm not Haitian, man.
Starting point is 00:26:22 What's that mean? You don't have to be Haitian. It's Caribbean. Oh, it's Caribbean? It's straight up the night before the carnival In Brooklyn baby And it's alright Leave it up to me to come up with a word Make it hard to pronounce
Starting point is 00:26:33 No Juvé is like first of all So much fun because I'm from Brooklyn too So Juvé is like a big deal But they also tell you when you're young not to go Out that night Did somebody get shot there last year? It's part of the carn night. Did someone get shot there last year? Yeah, yeah. It's part of the carnival.
Starting point is 00:26:48 You can't get shot. You got to be careful. Brooklyn's a tricky place. They stay out all night. What exactly is Juve for? Because I've always... Juve is sort of like, it's the turn up before the turn up. So we figure like, you know, we're going to be on that parkway that whole day. So that whole night before, you're drinking, you're partying, you're having a great time.
Starting point is 00:27:06 You know, you're just watching out for danger. It's sort of like a big tradition like within carnival. Like, because the idea, like Haitian carnival is like literally you party like three days with Trinidad. It's the same vibe.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Could you please tell E1 nobody makes CDs no more, though? That's right. Come on. But listen to this, right? Watch this. You ready for for this just look at the charts right around the world maybe here they don't make cds but this right here is already top five in canada and in quebec they buy cds so you still got to make the physicality of certain
Starting point is 00:27:38 places so even though in the states like my daughter ain't buying no cds she just hit that she turned on that smartphone but what happens is like they're still like so when you still cause we still have fans that are our age that has carnival
Starting point is 00:27:53 and different people and those people are still like CD covers like in certain countries but here in the states they definitely don't make them I know you don't got a CD player no I don't even know
Starting point is 00:28:03 I have one in my car though I always pop know I always actually listen to CDs in the car. Okay, but y'all got the smartphones. And I could save it into the hard drive in the car. But I still prefer digital just because, you know how many copies of Only Built for Cuban Links I had to buy? How many copies of Illmatic
Starting point is 00:28:17 I had to buy? Well, digital just makes everything, like, just easier. Absolutely. You know what I mean? Now, I heard an interesting story on the Combat Jack show. Fat Joe was on. And I just thought it was interesting. I actually listened to it yesterday. He said that you walked into Big Pun's funeral playing a guitar.
Starting point is 00:28:32 So you brought a speaker and a guitar and you walked in playing. And the thing was, it's supposed to be disrespectful to play music when a Spanish person dies. So when you walked in, everybody thought you was tripping, but you just won the crowd over, had everybody crying. Well, I mean, there's two things. It's if you come pure and you come with your heart and you come raw. So at the end of the day, my connection with Pun was I just remember us in the islands, and I was basically on piano, and he was freestyling.
Starting point is 00:29:02 He was like, go ahead, twin, play that piano. So it was like at the end of the day i felt like if there was anything that i could do would be just to really just show up with a guitar and i knew like if i was pure that because i didn't go to really win the crowd over i went to like really just pay tribute and um but once again everyone has their tradition and you know literally like probably like a minute in it was sort of like because you're just trying to touch that spirit it's an emotional time and um and definitely uh the crowd was um like uh even like fat joe i just remember everybody just being in tears but for me i just felt like that's what I could do. Just, you know, like knowing him and like my short time spent with him,
Starting point is 00:29:48 I was like, he would probably want me to show up and be like, yo, twin, play that guitar, sing something, you know? And what song was it? It was like a gift of music. Yeah, Fat Joe said it was Maria Maria. I'm like, that don't sound like a funeral song. Yeah, no, it was like a mixture of just like the, you know, I had a song that I had wrote and then inside of it still like within like the Maria Maria, you know, I just want to be like Maria, you know, it was it was just to say like, but the story of Maria is still a deep one because it's like that whole West Side story, you know, gang story, this gang versus that gang. But it was just more an emotional moment of time and just wanted to capture something.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Because, you know, for me, it's like, if I get called to sing at a JFK's son funeral, you know, and only two black people there is me and Muhammad Ali, and then, big pun, it's like at the end of the day, it's the same respect for me. Because it's like I'm from that hip-hop culture. So it's like, it's no because it's like i'm from that hip-hop culture so it's like it's no difference to me so i honor that i would have to honor that the same way i honor the kennedy thing and i figured um the family and the culture would respect that if you just come pure
Starting point is 00:30:56 or they don't come pure you know it would have been a different story in there absolutely for me now why is this an ep because there's 10 songs it. I know there's 13 on the deluxe edition. Isn't this a full album? No, it's an EP because half of it is in acoustic form. So you have remixes of similar songs. And it's crazy because literally like in seven years, I haven't been in this commercial space. So it's nuts.
Starting point is 00:31:21 We was talking about streaming and digital. The song Hendrix is already at 10 million in streams. So the analytics of the kids are just so real right now. So it's almost like I remember I was having a conversation with Envy. And then the idea was like, I remember when Envy came to see me, he was like, no matter what, just don't stop putting out music. Because the way that it works right now, you literally have to have something out every couple of weeks, know so in taking that advice i mean really we really back
Starting point is 00:31:49 like right now we're on 16 different charts around the world like top 50 it's and this is just an ep it's different with guys like you know because it's not like you're still trying to be relevant you're a legend already yeah but you know i was having that conversation because um so i go in the studio with young thug and i was telling people what happens is when the kids bring you in like whether if it's drake or whatever you like you say at the end of the day you still just have to be you i think the trick starts to be when you try to adapt to what the kids are doing. And I think the reason why they come in to get you is because they heard the score. They heard the carnival.
Starting point is 00:32:29 They're like, where that is. And I think sometimes, a lot of us, sometimes we lose ourselves. You know what I mean? In that, because you still want to stay relevant. But these kids really are looking up to you because of these albums that you've had. And Young Thug had to reach out to you, right? To clear. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:44 So you can't just call a song Wyclef Jean without clearing it? No, you can't. You can't. You know, because it's my name. So basically... And it was all going to be about something you don't want to represent. Yeah, but it was crazy because I get the call, and Lior was tracking me down, like,
Starting point is 00:32:59 yo, Young Thug is looking for you, you know? And I get to Atlanta, and, you know, he's like, yo, you see, bloody, my shirt Atlanta and, you know, he's like, yo, you see bloody my shirt, my tat, Haiti, my daughter, Haiti, my project, Haiti. Man, I wish I was from Haiti, right? So it's like the side of history that he chose to know.
Starting point is 00:33:16 It's almost like you got kids studying you without you even knowing. And then in the next couple of years, there'll be a kid who's doing what you're doing. And then he'll tell you stories about you that you can't remember. And I think that's the impact that we have. And then we understand our responsibilities.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Because we street people. Hard street people. But we never talk about it. And we never glorify it. We more like say, look, at the end of the day, y'all can get up from the streets and do something positive. Alright, that was Wyclef. We got more with him in minutes. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That was Notorious B.I.G. with Big Papa. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:34:00 We are The Breakfast Club. Wyclef Jean is in the building. Charlamagne. Why the hell does Young Thug remind you of a modern day Tupac? Well, you know the internet switch bait people. Okay. So what did you really say? He's like, read the whole article and see what I mean. Yeah, but I did say that. But of course you have to say that because of the viewers.
Starting point is 00:34:16 In context. Yeah, of course. And then, so past the switch bait, which whatever article did that, I hope they got their hits and made their money. In meeting Tupac in Europe, the combination of the thug life, the Haiti tat, and the part of history that he chose to know,
Starting point is 00:34:33 but people would consider him a band-aid because he don't choose to know the other part of history. So I was amazed by Thugger's love for Haiti in the 1804, that revolution, I'm not expecting him to even have that. Like, out of everything I'm expecting
Starting point is 00:34:50 him to know, it's not that part of, because that, they don't even teach you that in school. And then with Pac, the Black Panther, that side of it, because you know, you got a side where you fight in the street and then that revolution side. So in context, it was in a music conversation and then the work ethics that every time i land i
Starting point is 00:35:10 gotta be in the studio i gotta find a studio and going in with with douga he was like look i just learned how to do trap music clef let me show you what i do that's how i knew i could have put him on i swear man dude play like 40 records that got nothing to do with nothing. And it's that work ethics. That was the content. So I had nothing to do with music at all. I mean, it's definitely two different generations of music. You know what I mean? Like we're from the park generation. But because people are so sensitive when it come to park, when it comes to Biggie. So it's like when you say something, you have to put it in context. It's like the other day, the Martin Luther King.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Martin Luther King comes, you know, it's his birthday, and I'm like, all lives matter. Oh, man. Oh, yeah, that was it for you. Yo, when I tell you, when I tell you, it went, it went. And then I don't really, I don't delete nothing. The reason why I delete that is because, first of all, if you're going to put it out there, you got to be willing to deal with it, right? Our country was so divided, and I was like, I ain't about to go into no Twitter war.
Starting point is 00:36:13 That's not what I do. I deleted it, right? But I didn't stop. I deleted it so I could take the kids or the people at the time that were so sensitive. I was like, look, here's an interview like a year and a half ago. Look at this. What am I talking about? Yes, Black Lives Matter.
Starting point is 00:36:29 That's an automatic thing. This is a what are you doing for me right now type of game, Clef. They don't care about that. But you understand why people are sensitive about that. Yeah, but what happens is sensitivity is good, but past the emotion, it's about policy and legislation. So at the end of the day, my remarks was based on Martin Luther King. And for Martin Luther King to get what he had to get to, even within his speech, he had to unite everybody.
Starting point is 00:36:50 He was an engager. Yeah, absolutely. Now, it's been 23, I think 23 years, they said, since Blunt in all reality? Yeah. So this is the 20th year anniversary of the carnival, right? Okay. Last year was, yeah, to your point, yeah, it's 23. Blunt it.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Score was 96. Okay. So like, what, two years? Two years. Yeah. You got any favorite memories from those times? So, I remember, man, we had a big show, Uptown Harlem, man, with Wu-Tang Clan. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:37:16 And Smith & Wesson. And then they put the Fugees on the bill. You feel what I'm saying to you? So, I'll never forget that, man. So, we get there, and could you imagine, like, that kind of show? You could imagine. And we showing up with, like, drum sets and everything. I already pre-warned my crew.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I was like, look, man, set everything up, but leave it close to the exit. So it's literally, like, the drum in the middle. You know, we make sure that the drum is far, because if something's going to happen, you got to be ready to take your instruments and move. You talk to other people, you move. No, no. I knew that there would be, something was going to break out that night.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Between Wool, Smith and, like, Fugees. It was just, the mix was like, block to block, something was going to happen. And yes, it surely did happen. All I did, I just remember, man, if Method Man could remember this, I just remember that. It was a crazy show. But a fight broke out. It was almost like Israelites, Wu-Tang Clan. You know, we in the middle of this.
Starting point is 00:38:13 You know, I told my manager, my tour manager at the time, Hassan Sharif, what's his name, brother? I was like, look, man, just go get the money before we even start the show. Yeah, please, so we can run and just get out of here. I remember that. And then we get run and just get out of here. I remember that. And then we get outside, and then I remember ODB. Because now it's a big fight outside. And ODB was like, man, I love the Fugees, but I'm going to whip somebody's ass, man.
Starting point is 00:38:36 It was almost like, yeah, because it looked like, and then Pryze was on the side. Pryze had a bottle in his hand. Pryze cracked the bottle, you know, did the whole movie thing, you know, the whole Shottas thing. Who I want, who I want, who I want. So y'all was fighting the Wu-Tang or y'all was just there? No, it was because of the tension.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Everybody, it was almost like a Mexican standoff. You know what I'm saying to you? And I think at the end of the day, the tension was because the fight broke out and a lot of, I don't think people got paid that. But we definitely took our money early. I went in the venue early. I scoped the place out. I did that early intel like, yo, this this don't look good right here, you know.
Starting point is 00:39:16 So that was incredible because years later now I'm in the studio with ODB and I'm trying to get him to remember that story. And I mean, people say, yo, it's going to be difficult working with him. Like, you ain't going to be able to get a verse out of him. When he rizzed, he could get it. And he comes in the studio when I was doing that ghetto superstar for Pryze. And he literally goes in the booth and, you know, I'm a little nervous
Starting point is 00:39:37 because dude's like, yo, you can't get a verse out of him. You might be good, but you're not that good. Man, literally, man, the dude gets in the vocal booth and he's like, I have to hear this dolphin frequency for three minutes. But I'm acting like nothing wrong. You feel me? I'm acting normal.
Starting point is 00:39:54 I got the game normal. I got that Super Bowl face. Game face. Yo, and then three minutes. Did you tell him it was hot? That's hot. I'm just listening because I got to see where it's going. Because if it's whack, I'm going to have to say something.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Man, three minutes in, this dude just started to spit out of nowhere. And that's when Riz is talking about his genius. That's sort of like how his genius was. So for me, that was one of the most memorable things I can remember. I remember seeing the Fugees perform with Outkast. Oh, that was an incredible show. I went to that show. I remember that was. It was like Goody Mob, Fugees, and Outkast. Oh, that was an incredible show. I went to that show. I remember that was.
Starting point is 00:40:25 It was like Goody Mob, Fugees, and Outkast. That was a whole show. That's not a classic. It was just nuts. Yeah, that was an incredible show. I was like, we're not missing that one. Now, was Lauryn Hill chronically late to Fugee shows like that she is now? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Nobody could be late to no Fugee show. You got to be on time. I'm just saying like back in, you know, it's different back in the days, like, you know, because you're promoting, right? You have to be focused, like, when it came to that. So everyone was basically on time. But, of course, this is years later, you know. Who do you think Lauryn ranks as far as greatest of all time? Because it comes to a point for me
Starting point is 00:41:06 where I'm like, look, man, the Miseducation of Lauren Hill is a phenomenal album, classic album, but we might be overrating it. Overrating... That album, not at all. Not the album,
Starting point is 00:41:14 but overrating where we put her in the greatest of all time with that one body of work. Well, no, I disagree. I think she's one of the greatest. And I think that what happens top 5 though? and come on she was on the Fuji's albums also you can't forget all that work too
Starting point is 00:41:30 this is why I rate her top 5 female within our generation because I was in the studio with Whitney Houston I recorded Whitney and I was in the studio with Lauren I was in the studio with Beyonce so all of this I was in the studio with Shakira there was in the studio with Beyonce. So all of this, I was in the studio with Shakira. There's just something about her
Starting point is 00:41:47 that is just an it factor as far as me being a PK and when someone sings, you can feel that anointment. She had that. Alright, we got more with Wyclef when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Riri with Sex With Me. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:42:06 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club. We got Wyclef Jean in the building. Now, Yee? Can we introduce your protege, by the way? Because I don't want people to be like, Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:16 So Jazzy, who's from the Bronx, she not here yet. She got lost. She went to the wrong location. Yes. And this is Allison. Allison, church girl. Similar to to the wrong location. And this is Allison. Allison, church girl, similar
Starting point is 00:42:27 to Whitney, like church. That's the whole vibe. I'm a PK. And she's here. Sorry, I forgot my guitar. No, it's okay. Allison, do you feel pressure? Because you just heard three of the most phenomenal women in the game ever that Wyclef has worked with. Lauren Hill,
Starting point is 00:42:44 Beyonce, Shakira. He's worked with Mary J. Blige. Do you feel that kind of pressure? At first, yeah, I did, but right now I just feel honored. Like, it's an honor. So tell us about your situation, how you guys met. Crazy situation.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Yeah, it's crazy. Okay, so I actually worked for Heads Music. I was in administration. They had asked me to go to the studio to demo a song. And the song I asked them. So you worked in administration, and they asked you to go demo a song. Yeah, because they knew that I can sing, but they never heard me sing, like, at all. But hold up.
Starting point is 00:43:21 The demo that I wanted her to do, because I was at the World Cup with Rihanna. And then she was like, oh, I'm glad you back into music. You know, we're going to catch a vibe. So I was. Rihanna said that or Allison? No, no. This was Rihanna. OK, OK.
Starting point is 00:43:33 We was at the World Cup. She's like, I'm glad you back into music. She came to the dressing room and everything. And so I was like, I have a vibe. This would be good for Rihanna. So I'm going to demo this and send it to her. You could go on. I just want to say that.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Mind you, I didn't know any of that. So you told everybody you could sing, though. So everybody knew it. They knew that was my passion, like that's what I wanted to do. So the CEO of Heads Music, Madeline Nelson, took me to the studio and I demoed the song for them and
Starting point is 00:43:58 that was that. I'm actually on the EP on track number five, Little Things. Okay. So, yeah. It was God, like, honestly. So you would have never stepped up and been like, hey, Wyclef, you know, I would love to get in the studio and work with you. I mean, I like mentioned that, but yeah, I'm not like that type of pushy.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Yeah, I was like, you know, I have a strong foundation of spirituality and, you know, just believing that, you know, if it was meant that God was going to just open the door and make a way in. A lot of pressure, though, because you could either be Lauryn Hill or Claudette Ortiz. Right. Right. Wow. Exactly. She had a little moment where, you know, it was very fleeting. Wow.
Starting point is 00:44:40 How did you feel about Claudette, Cliff? Did you rank her? I tell you, man, you always catch me, man. So what happens, right, with City High, I felt like a lot of times they didn't get their break they were supposed to because it's sort of like, you know, people was attached to the Fugees so much. And it was like, oh, man, there go Clef. Clef got a scheme.
Starting point is 00:45:04 He trying to create another Fugees. We ain't going to go for that because we love the Fugees. It's almost like when you trying to create something, it was hard. And guess what? We went through that curse, too, because when we was trying to come out, there was like, oh, they trying to be like Digable Planet, even before they even hear the music. So I felt, so my thing was like, okay, you know what?
Starting point is 00:45:26 I could felt, because they had some great records. They had a huge record. That's right. So then I was like, you know what? Let me do what I did with Lauren musically, and let me put her on the record Two Wrongs. Because they said Two Wrongs don't make a right. Because I was like, okay, let me start splitting up this thing
Starting point is 00:45:43 so they could be like, okay, she has that thing. You know what I mean? And then past that, you know, there's once again, there's multiple disciplines in this business and you have to trust me 100%. If you don't trust me 100% and you let your guard
Starting point is 00:45:59 down, something's going to happen. Lauren, trust me, 3 trillion percent. Whitney, 3 trillion percent. Shakira, Beyonce, when I was like, this is how it's going to go, she was like, okay, this is how it's going to go. So I
Starting point is 00:46:15 think with the City High, there was so many people after I was like, the group has to be these two guys. And she was on the side like her, quiet. And I was like, what's she do? She said, she sing. I'm like the group has to be these two guys And she was on the side like her Quiet And I was like what she do She said she sing I said oh we got a star here
Starting point is 00:46:32 So after I created that formula Everyone was like Pulling and touching And I think that's sort of like what happened But once again I still rate that As far as like one of those talented groups You know that's not part of the, um, that
Starting point is 00:46:47 top five legacy we're talking about. So she didn't trust you 300%? No, no, I wouldn't say that she trusts me 300% because whichever female put their hands in my career, like say, you know what, we gonna go, like I'm telling you, like when I go on with Whitney, I'm
Starting point is 00:47:03 shaking, man, like this, man. She's like, come on, baby,? We're going to go. Like, I'm telling you, like, when I go in with Whitney, I'm shaking, man, like this, man. She's like, come on, baby, just tell me what to do. I'm like, man. But there's nothing wrong with the artist having input if they don't agree either. Yeah, but I don't want to hear from Claudette Ortiz if Whitney listening to me and Beyonce listening to me. If all these greats listening to me and then you buck up, I'm like, wait a minute, young girl. Because is there a question of like, well, you know, you're young and maybe you hear like different things and you might be like, well, maybe I could try it like this, like some type of input.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Once again, when a plane is taken off, you have to trust the pilot. You can have your opinions. I respect the talent of Claudette. I was just like, I respect the talent. But at the end of the day, they got to be OK. This is how we're going to do it. So you don't think like Lauren, come on, vocally. She's like, look, I'm hearing like a thousand voices in my head for killing me softly.
Starting point is 00:47:51 This is what's incredible. Let LeBron be LeBron. You be the genius. I'm not trying to take away from your genius. As a coach, though, I'm just like, okay, we got to win the championship. And that's why I come in to guide you. And so in that sense, I felt like the Fugees trust me 100%. And we got to where we had to get to.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Now, when you found out Claudette was having sex with both members of City High, did you ever think to yourself, well, why she ain't give me nothing? I'm the guy that's putting this all together. It didn't happen like that. No, because as you know, as an OG, I don't have those problems, right? Because of the prior mistakes that I made, there was no way that I was going to embark in that situation. Again, got you. Because now I was older, I was wiser, you know what I'm saying to you?
Starting point is 00:48:35 But if I knew that it was going to lurk within the situation, maybe I could have intervened and had a conversation. But as everything was going on, it all just all felt natural until that success come and they all started getting pulled in different places. Well, Clevjean, Jouvet is out right now. Thank you for coming, my brother. Thank you, family. Thank you, Allison, for joining us. Allison, we look forward to hearing from you. A lot of pressure.
Starting point is 00:48:58 A lot of pressure, Allison. We need to know if you can really sing. All right. Yeah, in order to do that, we ain't going to put no beat, no nothing. I'm a dude like you, like I told Beyonce, four girls in the hotel. I was like, sing me a church song. You sure you don't want to stand up now? Because think about it.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Beyonce, Lauryn Hill, Shakira, Mary J. Blige. 30 seconds. And Wyclef said you're a church girl, right? Claudette Ortiz. So I'm going to sing a little gospel for you guys Okay Put your lips on the mic That's how you become a star in this business
Starting point is 00:49:30 I sing a little loud Alright Hey I know I've been changed. Oh, I know I've been changed. Oh, I, oh, I, I, I know I've been changed. The angels in heaven done signed my name. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:14 I didn't expect all that. What was he going to say, Charlene? I was like, who is that singing? Wow. Okay. So in a way, indirectly, you can thank Rihanna too for making all this happen the way it did. Thank you, Rihanna. I think you might have something here.
Starting point is 00:50:30 Go ahead, Allison. It's the Breakfast Club. Fake love. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kanye West.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. The rumor report. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. But it appears that Kanye is no longer a fan of Donald Trump. He has gotten rid of everything on his Twitter account, referencing his support for Donald Trump. Now, according to sources, it says that basically the Muslim ban
Starting point is 00:51:09 and other actions were the catalyst for his decision. He doesn't agree with a lot of things that Donald Trump has done since he has taken office. Even though we went to go meet with him and had said he would have voted for him, now he's, I guess, having a change of heart. You know the irony of that situation? That's exactly how I feel about Kanye. Sometimes you like him.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Sometimes you don't. You know? In the meantime, I see it. I have changed the hearts about that guy all the time. Kim Kardashian West is actually retweeting people that want Kanye to perform next year at Super Bowl's halftime show. Okay. What do you guys think? Would that be a good halftime?
Starting point is 00:51:43 He got enough hits, yeah. That'd be dope. At this moment, I don't care. I'll be honest with you. That would be good. I mean, I'd like to see Kanye, Ariana, or even Drake. I feel like all of them have the status to perform at a Super Bowl halftime show. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:51:55 You know? All right. Remy Ma and Pep Hoos, they were on The Real. And we already told you guys about the unfortunate situation with Remy Ma suffering from a miscarriage and then having to undergo emergency surgery to have her fallopian tube removed. Here is Remy on The Real talking about it. This happened to me before when I was a kid. I was a teenager.
Starting point is 00:52:16 The first time I ever got pregnant, I had ectopic pregnancy then. I literally passed out. I went to the hospital. They did a sonogram, and it was black. I literally was bleeding internally. They rushed me into surgery. As a female, you have two fallopian tubes. This is where the egg that gets you pregnant comes from it comes down the fallopian tube Yeah, it plants in the uterus to grow but it's an ectopic pregnancy when the egg connects with you know
Starting point is 00:52:37 It starts to fertilize in the tool So your tool it expands until the point that it can't expand anymore And then that's when the internal bleeding and things like that happen. Does it burst? Yeah. So sad. And Papoose actually spoke out as well about how he was feeling during this whole time. I mean, that was the saddest day of my life. When she told me the news, I was extremely happy.
Starting point is 00:53:01 I was thinking of names. I mean, I would wake up in the morning, The first thing I would see is my future child, you know, and for it to take a turn like that, it was just like a roller coaster and it went down. But honestly, when I got the news, she had to go into emergency surgery. So I was devastated about my child, but I was just like praying, like, you know, I hope my wife is going to be OK. Drop on of Clues' bombs with Papoose, Devin. He's great. Such a great couple. I know. Every woman wants Papoose to be their Valentine next week.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Why can't you be more like Papoose? All right, now, J.R. Smith has also given an update on his daughter, Dakota. She was born prematurely. And he and his wife welcomed their daughter in October. She was born five months early at just one pound. So he has been keeping his fans updated on her progress, and he actually posted a picture holding his daughter on his chest. He said, Today is one of the greatest days of my life.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Today I get to hold my youngest for the first time. God is great. Hashtag Dakota Strong. God bless J.R. Smith and his family. You want to continue to depress us, Angela E., do you have anything else? That's a good story. The baby's growing.
Starting point is 00:54:07 I mean, yeah. The baby's still alive. He got to hold his baby for the first time. Drop on the clues box, J.R. Smith. That is a great story. That's a great story, man. Amazing story. That's positive.
Starting point is 00:54:14 That's a miracle. If you ever vote, you can see a picture of him holding his little baby. I saw that yesterday. I did, actually. All right. Now, Billboard.com is actually going to be launching Billboard Hip Hop now. And in celebration of that, they did a whole list. What? Yeah, they're doing their whole
Starting point is 00:54:29 own Billboard Hip Hop. Not just Billboard.com but now a Billboard Hip Hop site. Why do they keep treating hip hop like it's some niche genre? Hip hop is pop culture now, you idiots. Well, in celebration of that, I guess they feel like there's so much going on. It needs its whole own platform. They need more information? I think it's not a bad thing. Yeah, it's called music. The industry of music is hip hop, sir. There's so much going on. It needs its whole own platform. They need more information. I think it's not a bad thing. Yeah, it's called music.
Starting point is 00:54:45 It's called... The industry of music is hip-hop, sir. There's so much going on. So they actually put together a string of milestones and rap chart facts. I want to see what you guys know about this, okay? You ready to test yourself? Sure. All right, rapper with the most hot 100 number ones.

Give me another one. All right. Longest running number one rap song. Puff Daddy. This is also a three-way tie.

Starting point is 00:56:21 It was... Rap album was Please Hammer, Don't Hurt Me was Please Hammer, Don't Hurt Me. Please Hammer, Don't Hurt Me. Drop one of Clues Bomb for MC Hammer, damn it. 21 weeks and number one. I met MC Hammer once. I was there. What was that? It was when Hurricane Sandy had hit.
Starting point is 00:56:37 We were all staying at the same hotel and he was at the bar. I said, look, that little hammer. I was like, oh my God. And then I said, you guys take a picture together. Because I'm good for that. I had to go chop it up. Is that a hammer? I had to grab my heart., that little hammer. And I was like, oh, my God. And then I said, you guys take a picture together because I'm good for that. I had to go chop it up. Is that a hammer? I had to grab my heart.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Is that a hammer? You can't touch this. I interviewed him one time. I did, too. I think he told me, he said, if you, what did he say? He says, I came up here to test a coward's heart. What? You think Hammer won't whip your ass and then do the typewriter dance while you laid out on the floor?
Starting point is 00:57:03 Why did he say that to you? Because he was making fun of him on the way up there. Typical New York stuff, trying to clown Hammer. Hammer, whip your ass. I love Hammer now. What? He threatened me so crazy. Hammer making a lot of money in the tech industry now.
Starting point is 00:57:13 He sure is. That's what we talked about that night. If Hammer would have beat your ass, that would have been hilarious. Hammer's ex-military? You crazy? Hammer is from the hood of Oakland. It just would have been a great story. Oh, wouldn't have.
Starting point is 00:57:25 After he came up there, too. I was kind of scared. I ain't going to lie. Why do you think they named the album Please Hammer Don't Hurt Him? That's right. Please Hammer Don't Hurt Him. Don't test a child's heart.
Starting point is 00:57:34 I was doing all that. I said, Hammer's coming out bad. I'll pray. I don't give Hammer no respect. How can this Black History Muffin y'all don't pay no homage to Hammer? You're right. When the last time you played some Hammer
Starting point is 00:57:42 in your mix show, Envy, this is disrespectful. You don't shout him out on his birthday. That's how I do. Do you shout out on his birthday? No, but that ain't the point.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Hammer got the highest selling album of all time. You're right. You don't give him no respect. You're right. Longest number one album. When is Hammer birthday? Hammer gonna get some respect.
Starting point is 00:57:56 He definitely gonna get some respect. All right, I'm Angela Yee and that's your rumor report. Let me look this up. I don't want no problem with MC Hammer. I can't believe y'all don't pay homage to Hammer. March 30th. March 30th. Oh, next month y'all better show Hammer some damn
Starting point is 00:58:09 respect on March 30th. You damn right. You hear me? I want to hear too legit to quit. I want to hear pumps and a bumps. Pumps and a bumps? I want to hear pray. Okay? Girls with the pumps and the bumps. You better show him some respect. You got it. Shout out to MC Hammer. Alright. Gentlemen! What? You giving that donk too?
Starting point is 00:58:26 Listen, man. This is a classic story of how nigg's going nigg. All right? Nigg's going nigg. Nigg's going nigg. Nigg's of all colors too. I keep telling y'all. It ain't got nothing to do with being black. It got to do with a mindset.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Okay? This is nigg stuff I ain't never heard of. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Your river give you attention. Charlemagne. Say the gang. Don't get out of shape. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Your river give you attention. Charlemagne, say the gang. Don't get out of shape. Charlemagne. You are a donkey. It's 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.
Starting point is 00:59:00 So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the e-ball. It's The Breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Yes, donkey of the day for Tuesday, February 7th goes to Robert Martinez Gill. Now, back in the 90s, old Robert was convicted on drug trafficking charges. He was given a life sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and heroin. But back in 2015, he was commuted by former President Barack Obama. Now, let me give you a little backstory on Robert M. Gill. He's 68
Starting point is 00:59:28 years old. He's been in prison since 1990, okay? But President Obama set him free along with other non-violent federal inmates in 2015. President Obama said, I'm signing his release because Robert has demonstrated the potential to turn his life around. Now, it is up to him to make the most of
Starting point is 00:59:43 this opportunity. That is the key word, kids, opportunity. All right, Robert's prison ward also stood up for him, saying Robert has reformed and rehabilitated himself and poses no threat to the outside world, end quote. You would think everything the prison warden and President Obama said would be true, especially for a 68-year-old man who has been in prison for 25 years. If you had a life sentence, every day of your life, you'd be in there praying, wishing on a star.
Starting point is 01:00:11 You got a rabbit's foot, green clovers, yellow moons, yellow and orange stars, pink hearts, all the lucky charms in the world. You asking God, please give me another chance. Please don't let my life end this way. And then one day you get that golden ticket. You get that news that President Obama is going to pardon you. You get the news that Ray and Claude wanted to get throughout the whole movie life. You get that blessing to be pardoned.
Starting point is 01:00:35 And what do you do with it? Well, I'll let you know what Robert Martinez Gill did with his. Go to KLEN-TV for the report, please. A 68-year-old San Antonio man whose life sentence was commuted by President Barack Obama is back in jail. Police say he crashed his car into another vehicle while fleeing officers after a drug deal. On Thursday, he had already been serving a life sentence for dealing drugs when President Obama freed him in 2015. But now he's back behind bars. Niggas gonna nigg, bro.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Niggas gonna nigg. Don't matter the color. It's a mindset. Okay? Robert Martinez went and met with his probation officer, and then immediately after leaving his P.O., went to a parking lot of a food market to buy more than two pounds of cocaine. No way. Okay? When the police caught
Starting point is 01:01:20 him, he admitted he was gonna sell cocaine to make money, and would be paying a female 26 grand for the cocaine. I can't stand to see someone waste an opportunity someone else would have made the most of. OK, that pardon could have been for Big Meech. It could have been for some political prisoners like Assata Shakur, Matula Shakur. What about Edward Snowden? Play the clip from Carolyn TV again, please.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Pull it back. Get the clip, boy. 68-year-old San Antonio man whose life sentence was commuted by President Barack Obama is back in jail. Police say he crashed his car into another vehicle while fleeing officers after a drug deal. On Thursday, he had already been serving a life sentence for dealing drugs when
Starting point is 01:01:59 President Obama freed him in 2015, but now he's back behind bars. Now, if insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, then I don't know what getting the life sentence, going to jail for 25 years, getting a miraculous pardon, and coming home to start selling bricks again is called. Okay, they don't need to send him back to jail. They need to put Robert Martinez's guilt in a psych ward, put him in a straight jacket and feed him pills for the rest of his life.
Starting point is 01:02:22 Okay, and when you let him out of that straight jacket, just let him sit around and try to lick his elbow. Because something is clearly wrong with this man. Okay? The last time I saw somebody blow an opportunity like this, it was this team called the Atlanta Falcons Sunday night in the Super Bowl. Okay? Kids, listen. Failure is simply the
Starting point is 01:02:37 opportunity to begin again. This time, more intelligently. Robert Martinez Gill got his opportunity after failing, but he didn't handle it intelligently this time. He intelligently. Robert Martinez Gill got his opportunity after failing, but he didn't handle it intelligently this time. He blew it. Why? Because it doesn't matter what race you are.
Starting point is 01:02:52 Nigging is an attitude, and it's two things you need to know. Some donkeys just sell themselves, and nigs gonna nigg. Please give Robert Martinez Gill the biggest hee-haw, please. How old was he, you said? 68 years old. 68! I actually meant to give him some sweet sounds and a hammer tone, but you know what? He needed a hard hee-haw this morning.
Starting point is 01:03:14 68! 68 years old. You've been in jail since 1990. He wanted to go back. He didn't know anything else. You think he had a boyfriend in there? Yeah, I think he had a boyfriend. He had a bae.
Starting point is 01:03:22 He had a bae. He had a bae, man. Mr. Bae. Yeah, he had a bae. He's 68 years old, man. Mr. Bae. Yeah, he had a bae. He's 68 years old, man. Don't no woman know how to make him get it up no more. He need that iron jaw behind them walls. My goodness.
Starting point is 01:03:33 All right. All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, what are we doing next? I have no idea. Y'all didn't play in this part of the show? Yes, we did. We were talking about what we discussed yesterday with Mariah Carey and her $250,000 wedding dress that was designed by Valentino.
Starting point is 01:03:50 What was that? So her video with YG where she talks about her breakup. Mariah Barry, okay. Yes, Mariah Carey. And in that video, she burns her dress. That dress was a Valentino $250,000 dress. You can see it featured on her show Mariah's World. Okay.
Starting point is 01:04:04 And we're asking when you break up with somebody, what are the things that you do? Do you get rid of the items that person gave you? Some people tell you you should put it in a box and put it away. Some people give the stuff back. Some people donate it to charity. Depends how much it costs. Some people give it. It depends what it is.
Starting point is 01:04:18 Yeah, it depends what it is. Really? That's all it says. It depends what it is. Like if somebody buys you something expensive, let's say they buy you a car, right? A car. You would get rid of the car? You could trade it in and get something else. Depends what kind depends what it is. Like if somebody buys you something expensive, let's say they buy you a car, right? A car. You gonna get rid of the car? You could trade it in and get something else.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Depends what kind of car it is. Because some people don't even want to have that item anymore. They need to grow up. Like if somebody got you a nice Cartier watch, you could trade it in and get something else so it's not the same exact one. That's why... I had an ex-boyfriend who asked for his stuff back
Starting point is 01:04:42 when we broke up. That's cool. Listen, if y'all not married and you're just dating a woman, that's why you always keep the receipts. Because when y'all break up, you can always say she stole it from you. All right. Well, 800-585-1051. How do you deal with an ex's items after a breakup?
Starting point is 01:04:57 All right. The question again, 800-585-1051. How do you deal with an ex's item after a breakup? Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 01:05:12 We are The Breakfast Club. So we're asking, 800-585-1051, how do you deal with an ex's items after a breakup? Now, Charlamagne, I'm sure Charlamagne can't remember his last date or last girlfriend for his wife, so we'll ask Angela Yee. I think it depends on how you broke up and it depends on what it is.
Starting point is 01:05:31 I am a firm believer that in order for you to have a nice, good, clean breakup, at least just get all those things out the way so you don't keep reminiscing about stuff. Oh, I remember when he bought me this and that. What about if something flies? Let's say he bought you a bag that's limited edition you can't get anywhere else. I probably just won't use it
Starting point is 01:05:46 for a while until I'm over it. You just put it up, put it away, put it in closet, put it somewhere out of sight, out of sight, out of mind. Just don't think about it. And then later on
Starting point is 01:05:54 when you get over it, you can use it. Yeah, I think it's different when you're married as opposed to just being in a relationship with like a boyfriend or a girlfriend.
Starting point is 01:06:00 Because when you're married, nine times out of ten if you and your wife get a divorce, it's something that you did. So anything that you got her anyway, she deserves. True. You know what I'm saying? So she can have that. Right. You know what I mean? But if you're just dating,
Starting point is 01:06:11 you think... If you're just dating, keep the receipts at all times. So you want it back? Absolutely. You think Meek Mill don't want everything he bought Nicki Minaj back right now? That's why he ran up in that house, allegedly. Allegedly. He did not run up in her house. And took it back. That's crazy. But he don't want none of that back. I mean, you wanted to have that.
Starting point is 01:06:26 It's over. Keep it. I don't even want it back. But sometimes when a breakup, people are petty and they'll ask for stuff back because if they bought you something expensive, they might be like,
Starting point is 01:06:34 my ex-boyfriend did this. Oh, let me get back that chain, that jewelry I bought you. And sometimes they do that just to try to keep in contact. Yeah, but if you have a bad breakup, man, sometimes you realize
Starting point is 01:06:43 that girl didn't deserve what you gave her. You know what I'm saying? Like if you're with a woman if you have a bad breakup, man, sometimes you realize that girl didn't deserve what you gave her. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you're with a woman and, you know, she does some dirt to you and y'all fall out, in your mind,
Starting point is 01:06:51 you're like, you know what? You didn't deserve nothing I gave you except for the herpes. It's a loss. You just gotta chalk it up as a loss
Starting point is 01:06:57 if you guys break up. Lesson learned. Because I would hope as a woman, you got him some stuff, too. But if you did something to me and you hurt me and I put out more
Starting point is 01:07:04 in this relationship, I want my stuff back. I want my stuff back. Damn right. I want my stuff, too. But if you did something to me and you hurt me and I put out more in this relationship. I want my stuff back. I want my stuff back. Damn right. I want my stuff back. Damn right. Let me tell you something. He said he wanted his stuff back.
Starting point is 01:07:10 He kept bothering me. I took all that stuff, threw it out the window. I said, it's outside. Come get it. Did he come get it? Yep. I don't know if he did. Ain't no consolation prize if you do me dirty.
Starting point is 01:07:18 Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Mike. How you doing, guys? All right, now how do you deal with an ex's items after a breakup? Man, I'm keeping it. All the stuff I'm keeping, man. I mean, the only thing I ever got rid of was when I got divorced, and I found out some foul stuff, you know, and it got me real tight.
Starting point is 01:07:34 So I went straight to the pawn shop and pawned in the ring. I didn't care what I got for it. I just pawned in the meding ring. That was a backflip. I'm with you, bro. If your girl do you wrong, you got to get everything back. You don't get nothing. No ribs, no rice, no champagne. You don't get nothing. But what if you did her wrong, and then she breaks up with you, bro. If your girl do you wrong, you got to get everything back. You don't get nothing. No ribs, no rice, no champagne.
Starting point is 01:07:46 You don't get nothing. But what if you did her wrong and then she breaks up with you? She can have everything. She can have it all. She can have it all. She deserves it, then. Hello, who's this? From Westchester.
Starting point is 01:07:55 How do you deal with an ex's items after a breakup? What you mean? It's mine. I'm keeping that. But won't it make you a little sad when you look at it and you remember when she gave you this and then you get memories? It depends if it's something with her. Like, say she gave you a little sad when you look at it and you remember when she gave you this and then you get memories? It depends if it's something with her. Like, say she gave you a nice neck piece.
Starting point is 01:08:10 Yeah, I got that tick off of her neck piece. She probably gave me some problems. That's why she had to go. My goodness. Fake tough, fake tough. Hello, who's this? This is Ann from Hampton. Ann from Hampton, 757.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Now, what do you do with an ex's items after a breakup? See, what I do, if I'm with a female and I want my stuff, I'm going to take my stuff back. You're taking everything back? I'm going to take it back, and if it's still in good condition, I'm going to sell it, or I'm going to give it to the next female. Now, what are you going to do with the stuff that she gave you? Are you going to give your stuff back, too?
Starting point is 01:08:42 No. Oh, okay. Okay. I don okay. Okay. I don't understand that. I really do think it's all based on who does who wrong in the situation. If the woman does you wrong, get your stuff back. If you do the woman wrong, let her keep what you got. But let's be clear.
Starting point is 01:08:56 She ain't got to give nothing back. If I got these receipts, no. Not if I got receipts. If I got receipts, then you a thief. No. If it's a gift, it's a gift. She won't bring receipts. If I got receipts, then you a thief. No. If it's a gift, it's a gift. She won't bring me
Starting point is 01:09:06 my stuff back that I bought. Officer. 800-585-1051. How do you deal with an ex's items after breakup? Call us now.
Starting point is 01:09:14 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Rihanna with Needed Me. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 01:09:21 We are The Breakfast Club. Now we're asking 800-585-051. How do you deal with an ex's items after a breakup? See, if you did me dirty, I'm going to need my stuff back. It's just that simple. I just want it back. It's just that simple.
Starting point is 01:09:33 If a woman does you dirty, you get your stuff back. If you do the woman dirty, you let her keep what you got her. Simple. That's not how I look at it. I look at it as we broke up, whatever happened during the relationship, that's just an L. You go ahead and keep that clean slate, move on, peace. Men, keep the receipts always, because when she don't want to give that stuff back,
Starting point is 01:09:51 you just go to the police and say that this young lady stole from you. You can't do that. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, man? This is Chris from Jersey. Hey, Chris. Now, we're asking, how do you deal with an ex's items after breakup? All right, so check this out.
Starting point is 01:10:02 Honestly, it depends on the nationality. Why? Break it down for me. Break it down. I love on the nationality. Why? Break it down for me. Break it down. I love when everything falls down the same. Break it down for me. Go ahead, bro. I got you. Alright, so check. If they're Spanish or they're black, they're gonna ask you for whatever it was back before y'all even split. Okay.
Starting point is 01:10:17 So if it's turmoil and stuff, they already know that they want that back. Okay. The only one, the only race or nationality you could say that you could sell it back is white women. Sell it back? Yeah, you could sell whatever a white woman gives you because they're going to, honestly, when they get you stuff, it's worth money. So you're saying that black and Hispanic women don't get you things that are worth money, but white women do. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 01:10:41 White women got money, okay? Black and Spanish women got money. That is a terrible stereotype, sir. This is the dumb and Spanish women got money. That is a terrible stereotype, sir. This is the dumbest thing I ever heard. That is a terrible stereotype. I'm going to be honest with you, man.
Starting point is 01:10:50 You can't give back that hepatitis that white woman is going to give you when you kiss her. Oh, you know what? That's true. Yeah, you can't give that back.
Starting point is 01:10:56 This sounds so stupid. My goodness. Hello, who's this? Yeah, this is Butterfly from Baisley. Butterfly from Baisley. We're going to hear from you in a minute, Butterfly.

Starting point is 01:11:16 I'll be a mess. Say it again. What would you do with the stuff after you guys broke up? What do you do with the stuff that you're going to do next week? I'm going with Charlamagne. Like you said, they might say it overseas. I'm giving it right back and sending him on his way.
Starting point is 01:11:32 I don't want to be bothered after that. I got something to tell him too. When he want his stuff back, I'm going to have it back. Waiting for him and let him know. You go whack anyway, boo. That's when you know. That's when you know you don't want to be bothered with a dude.
Starting point is 01:11:48 Oh, you got an attitude? Little, I like little. It was whack. I like little. You like little pee-pee's butterfly? Oh, yeah. Boy, don't start my mouth. Listen to me. Okay?
Starting point is 01:12:04 Send him on his way. On his way. Because you don't want to be up in the judge's face looking at the white boy. He talking about, you know what,
Starting point is 01:12:11 case dismissed. This guy personal. Both of y'all figure it out. Got you. I feel what you're saying, Butterfly. I'm serious.
Starting point is 01:12:17 I don't want to be up in court talking about, oh, she took my stuff. Okay. True, true, true. But anyway, look, I've been
Starting point is 01:12:24 shooting a film It's called Fatherless Son I want to give a shout out to my little cousin, Rav Because he's shooting a film Fatherless Son, is it based on a true story? Yeah, where's my mother? I played the little boy's mother in the film And I can't tell you too much

Starting point is 01:12:51 Hello. You got to love butterfly. Hello. Good morning. Good morning. Now, how do you handle your items with an X? Anything of value you do not destroy, you do not give back, you keep it all. Because you don't know when you're going to be down and out and going to need to
Starting point is 01:13:05 sell those things back. If they're resellable, I would keep it. Engagement rings for houses. Wow. You got houses? Mariah Carey, she got some money to get rid of that dress. Any regular degra, they need to keep that dress and resell it.
Starting point is 01:13:22 Okay, so don't act too rashly and give it back. Don't destroy it. Don't destroy it? Why? This is a battle. All right. Thank you, guys.
Starting point is 01:13:33 Thank you, Mama. All right, well, I'm going to say this. Say it. If we break up, and you know when y'all break up, y'all always try to come back, right? Right. If you don't ask for your stuff back, don't even bother trying to come back. It's over forever. That's a wrap You're not getting back
Starting point is 01:13:47 You're disgusting I'm glad it didn't work out Glad to know what type of person you are And if we break up and I got you stuff And I'm really great at giving gifts Keep it I'm not saying Angelique's wrong All I'm saying is to me it's all based on who did what
Starting point is 01:14:00 Simple as that You do your girl wrong You let her keep all those consolation prizes you got her Your girl do you wrong, keep the receipt so you can take everything back. If she don't want to give it back, she stole it. Alright. Well, we got rumors on the way, Yee. Yes, we are going to talk about Big Sean. What
Starting point is 01:14:13 made him so mad while he was performing? Tell me if this would make you upset. Black woman in the front row. Stop it. Ain't enough Jhene Aiko. Jhene Aiko is black. Okay. He's stupid. Alright. We'll get into rumors when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:14:31 Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Big Sean. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:14:46 So listen up. Well, Big Sean was performing in Vegas and somebody did something that made him really mad. He was in the middle of performing I Don't F With You. And somebody started throwing money at people. Is that a really disrespectful thing to do while someone's performing? Throwing money? I think so. I think it depends.
Starting point is 01:15:03 It happens all the time. Because it's coming from a place of arrogance when you're throwing money like that. It's like, oh, I got money. I got money to burn. I got money to waste. Look, throwing it all over you peasants. And it's in Vegas.
Starting point is 01:15:12 So Big Sean thought it was very disrespectful. And I ain't no stripper. He told him to stop effing throwing money. He said, I'm not a stripper. No. But he did say, stop effing throwing all that money. It happens a lot, though. You know.
Starting point is 01:15:22 Some people just don't know better, I think. I feel like some people, especially you go someplace like Vegas, there's people from all over. They see people throwing money in the club. It's stupid.
Starting point is 01:15:30 I hate it. I don't know that it's necessarily always delicious. Sometimes when I DJ, they do that to me. Like, I'm spinning. Whoa! And they throw singles at me.
Starting point is 01:15:37 You gotta start pulling your pants up. I'm like, I do. You gotta start pulling your pants up. I mean, because they like the fact that I'm rocking. They throw money at you?
Starting point is 01:15:43 Yeah, because you're rocking. So they rocking. So they just throw money. No, ain't nobody rocking. And then the money fall on you and you can't pick it up. I mean, because they like them. They throw money at you? Yeah, because you're rocking. So they rocking. So they just throw money. No, ain't nobody rocking. And if the money fall on you and you can't pick it up. Stop giving men a little script tease. You got your pants sagging. You got your little red boy shorts showing.
Starting point is 01:15:52 What if somebody threw some hunnids? We picking that up. They tipping you because you showing that ass. You got your pants sagging. But you don't think they're doing it disrespectfully? Nah, I don't think they're doing it disrespectfully. What's that club? What's that script club you do Odell come to all the time?
Starting point is 01:16:05 I'm not telling you what. Oh, because I throw money at y'all. If y'all was in the DJ booth, Odell dancing, you got your pants sagging. Shut up, man. Throw some money at them bad bitches over there in that DJ booth. Stop talking about Odell. Ah, shut up. All right, and Sports Illustrated, the swimsuit issue is getting ready to come out.
Starting point is 01:16:22 So everybody's speculating on who's going to be on the cover. And they're actually going to do three covers. They said it'sulating on who's going to be on the cover and they're actually going to do three covers. They said it's very likely there's going to be three different covers and it's going to be starring Serena Williams, Christy Brinkley and possibly Kate Upton. The only problem is that Kate Upton has been acting like a diva and making
Starting point is 01:16:38 all kinds of demands saying that if she does the shoot she has to get the cover. She also has a list of photographers and hair and makeup people that she'll only work with them. And they said she just thinks she's better than everybody now because she is an actress. Now, Sports Illustrated is saying that it's that time of the year again. Who is in?
Starting point is 01:16:54 Who's on the cover? What will they do next? Everybody has a guess, and that's all this is. Correct me if I'm wrong, but ain't Christine Brinkley like 73 years old? 63. Okay, 63. All right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:03 I mean, you know, still doing the damn thing. I want to see. I want to see what it look like. Wendy Williams, she's talking about Nicki Minaj. We gave you this story the other day. Nicki Minaj is upset. Giuseppe Zanotti has named all these shoes after her, the Nicki shoe, and refuses to take her cause.
Starting point is 01:17:20 He's also done capsule collections with J-Lo. And here is what Wendy Williams speculates is the issue. Maybe this is an attitude thing, Nikki. You have a reputation for being very difficult to work with. Maybe the headaches that you give people are not worth working with you. I know that he's collaborated with Jennifer Lopez and done sneakers and, you know, shoes and things like that. But there's something about your reputation, Nikki, that has followed you almost since your career got started and doesn't seem to be getting any better.
Starting point is 01:17:50 And that maybe is why you're not in the new Ocean's 8 movie. All right. I will say this, though. If he felt like that, he probably wouldn't name 30-something pairs of shoes after her. Yeah. It just doesn't really make sense. I don't understand the problem with Nikki standing up
Starting point is 01:18:05 for herself, though. Like, what's the problem with her standing up for herself and telling these people not to use her likeness without cutting her a check? Like, I don't understand why that makes her
Starting point is 01:18:11 difficult to work with. There ain't nothing wrong with that. I'm lost here. You named 30 pairs of shoes after me, and I'm not supposed to get married? I don't think if they felt like you were not a person
Starting point is 01:18:20 you would want to work with. I didn't ask for a check. I just said, hey, I want to talk to you about something. You don't know what she was trying to talk about. I'm supposed to be nice and polite and just have my
Starting point is 01:18:26 managers reach out behind the scenes. If my managers are reaching out and y'all not replying, take it to social media. They took them shoes down as soon as she did that, right? Yeah, the shoes are no longer on their website. I don't like that logic that a person is just difficult to work with just because they're demanding more for their self. They know their worth and their value.
Starting point is 01:18:41 That's what everybody says. As soon as you stand up for yourself, they'll be like, oh, he's hard to work with. No, give them what they worth. Especially when you're a woman. That's why it's weird to hear another woman coming at another woman about that. Wendy should know how it is. All right. And Tom Brady's Super Bowl jersey is still missing.
Starting point is 01:18:56 And according to one sports memorabilia expert, he's saying that it could be worth a million dollars at this point. Now, Josh Evans owns Leland's.com, and he said if he got that jersey, he could probably sell it for at least a million dollars at this point. Now, Josh Evans owns Leland's.com and he said if he got that jersey, he could probably sell it for at least a million dollars because of all the hoopla around it. But let's just say the value of the jersey before all of
Starting point is 01:19:14 the missingness, it would be valued about $250,000. But he said now because of all this drama around it, it'll be worth a lot more. But if it is stolen, he said, it would be worthless to him because how can you sell something like that? Right. If it's stolen merchandise, they'll have to figure out a way to unload it because it's such a huge story right now.
Starting point is 01:19:31 And I would think Brady would want that. Give it to Brady so they can put it in the Hall of Fame somewhere. Of course he wants it. They can't find it. That's going to Canton. That's what it's called, right? Canton. I thought it just said Cancun.
Starting point is 01:19:42 I'm like, I know the Hall of Fame. NFL Hall of Fame ain't in Cancun, is it? And, you know, they also stole some of Kobe Bryant's memorabilia just recently from Lower Marion High School. So they had some of his memorabilia there, and that's gone missing, too, somehow. How much is the shirt that he wore when he sodomized that white woman in Denver? And I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor reports. I heard he didn't take his shirt off. How much did that shirt worth?
Starting point is 01:20:03 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.
Starting point is 01:20:15 No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
