I didn't get a run down this morning. I don't know if you guys did, but yeah, doctors Perry will be joining us. A couple days ago, a doctor call Hart was on the program. And doctor Carl Hart is he is, I don't want to go. He's not an addict, but he talks about drug use and how he uses drugs. You you said he was an addict when I spoke to you, But anyway, he talks about how he uses

drug use. He's a professor at Columbia Universe American Neuroscientists.

Right, So he actually uses the drugs to proclaimed Harry when used it to be able to write about it and talk about it and speak about it. So he used it helps his work life balance. It makes him happy, he says. He says, okay, yes, yeah.

So we had a conversation with him earlier in the weekend. A couple of doctors wanted to talk about it, and doctor Steve Perry's one of the doctors that called up. He's been on the Breakfast Club before and wanted to talk about some of the things he heard during that interview. A lot of people have mixed emotions. Some people were very upset that we had the doctor on, and some people said that Charlemagne and I we're very close minded

It was a car was drinking out for uber or whatever. So now my loose source has been coming is gone and I got to go back to my nine to five ground. But the crazy thing about it is I asked my neighbor to let me see the cameras and he told me no. And the camera's appointed like right towards my car, and he said his camera's are not

He's probably protecting a friend. Think so what happened ground look like they dragged race a lot. A lot of the kids be doing crazy stuff at night. I don't think that's going on. So yeah, but he would have gave that up to you know what I mean, if you want to help a neighbor, you'd be like, oh yeah,

I love you too, brother, all right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five, ain't five one o five one. We got roomors on the way. Yes, And I'm excited about this Janet Jackson documentary in the works. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Why's this? It is the

rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Janet Jackson is getting a two night documentary event and that is going to be on Lifetime in A and E. That should be really, really dope. I can't wait to see that. They said. This filming on Janet has been underway for three years. It's going to follow Janet as her family is going through the laws of her father, who was the patriarch of the Jackson dynasty. He passed

in twenty eighteen. She got she gave the producer's exclusive access to archival footage and never before seeing home videos. I know Lifetime in and under the same umbrella, but I just feel like Janet Janet Jackson doc seemed like it should be bigger than that. Yeah, I think so too, well to two night, four hour documentary events. So I'm excited to see it two night for our documentary. Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm here for that. I don't know, I feel like it should be bigger, but whatever, I'm

my watch, all right. In addition to that, Janet, let's talk about Janet that was on The Fresh Prince of bel Air Now. She recently did an interview with Chris Witherspoon's Pop Viewers, and she shared that she consider taking her life after exiting from The Fresh Prince of bel Air. Here's what she had to say. So, I not only had a house, a mortgage, a husband who wasn't working at the time, but I also had a business and

a baby, an indifant who needed me desperately. He saved me my son because I knew I had to take care of that little boy, and fresh Prince had not gone into syndication. Yet. It was hard. There were moments where I felt so broken. There were moments where I wanted to die. He never complayed suicide. Absolutely, you know. I saw that yesterday, and I saw folks in the comments telling her to move on, telling her to get over it. That's not how trauma works, people, all right.

Healing is healing is not a linear process. You could be fine in some cases and then something triggers you, you know, years down the line, months down the line, and you have to let it go all over again. So let that woman vent. Man. Plus, I felt like for so long nobody was even bothering to listen. That's very true. And just recently even Will Smith had to

sit down with her. So I'm sure that brought her some type of okay for the moment, and yeah, for the moment, but I'm sure that also renewed people being like, Okay, maybe this is something we should pay attention to now because they really weren't before. Yeah, all right now, Tiger Woods, the search warrant of his car is based on possible evidence of reckless driving. They did get a search warrant

to get the black box it's in the vehicle. A judge believed there is probable cause that a crime may have been committed, and they said the possible offense is misdemeanor reckless driving. There's a black boxing cause too. I guess they knew a cause my dad. I asked my dad that yesterday. I didn't know that, but he was like,

getting certain cause. Did he tell you how aggressive you drive, if you aggressively you know, accelerate aggressively, break, or how fast it you're going you know, if you Yeah, I do remember hearing something like that. Something they can tell, like if you get into an accident and you was texting, they can tell if you was texting beforehand. I thought they were just looking at your phone and see that

you let a tweet fire. Now, I don't think they can see if you're texting, but I'm sure they got to look on your phone to see if the accident happened the same time you were texting it. Your call can't tell you, hey, he's texting right now unless you, you know, connected the bluetooth. So all no, bro, the'm new calls different. Remember how night Rider used to seem so advanced now, Kits seemed like a goddamn gold cart. Turbo boots can't happen right now. Yes you could turbo

boos right now. You could jump over things. You can't jump over things, but you could think got caused with all types of turbot with it, all types of trying to tell you, I don't know, bro, They do have cards to dry themselves like Kit used to do all right now. Mariah Carey's brother is now to wing her for defamation. That's over claims that were made in her memoir.

He says that his reputation was damaged when Mariah wrote up an alleged fight that he had with his father and that she hinted that he was violent towards their mother, and he also highlighted a passage in the book that says, it took twelve cops to pull my brother and father apart. The big bodies of men all entangled like a swirling hurricane, crashed loudly into the living room. I was a little girl with very few memories of a big brother who

protected me. More often I felt I had to protect myself from him, and sometimes I would find myself protecting my mother from him too. Yeah. I don't know if your reputation was damage, sir, but if it makes you feel any better, I don't even know Mariah Carey had a brother until just now. Yeah, me, neither. Didn't even hear about this, But I'm hearing so many of brothers and sisters suing their brother, suing their parents. I can. I could never imagine mabe because I'm an only child,

But I couldn't sue my brother. Well, you guys got brothers and sisters. You did get brother will sue you, A sister will sue you. Yeah, especially if you ain't if you ain't never gating him nothing, if you ain't never kicked no money out to them, or if you did kick out some money and they don't feel like it was enough, but they see you out here bawling, of course they would. Well, according to Maria's a strange brother, Morgan, he says that that made him sound like a violent person.

He said he never fought with his dad when Mariah was a kid, and there's no way a dozen cops will be handling a domestic violent situation anyway. In addition for damages for defamation, he's also suing for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Now you know her sisters also suing her. Yeah, Alice Mariah Thine like the only job I got to read this book. So now her sister and this happened,

you know, a couple of months ago. But she's seeking one point two five million in damages for the infliction of immense emotional distress caused by defendant's heartless, vicious, vindictive, despicable, and totally unnecessary public humiliation of a defendants already profoundly damaged older sister. You can sue for defamation. I'm suing Charlemagne because he does all that that you said in

that whole little sentence he does to me. According to Mariah Carey, in her book, she said that her sister drugged her, put her in vulnerable situations with older men, and threw boiling hot tea on her when she was only twelve years old. Jesus. She did accuse her of attempted sex trafficking as well, and her sister, Alison is eight years older than her. Neok, m h, I'm gonna read this book. I think, all right, well that is your rumor report. I did not know she had sibling.

You can't even right, I don't act like the only job. Yeah, I mean she does well, she's a strange from them, so I don't think she's very close with them. Clearly I was a Debbie down a damn all right, I get it. Well you're gonna get the book. Yeah, just because your family. Don't mean that your family, you know what I'm saying, Like, like, it's not always about blood, like sometimes it's about principles and energy and spirit. And you know if your principles, an energy and spirit don't

aligne with a person, even if that's your blood. Hey man, it is what it is. Your family. They always you can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family. That's a fact. All right. Well, we got front page news when we come back, when we're talking about now York Governor Andrew Cuomo says he is not planning to resign, even though some people are calling for him to resign, and he has answered these allegations from women who are accusing him of sexual harassment. All Right, we'll get to

that next. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is sej Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are to breakfast club's getting some front page news where we're starting easy well. Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York has said that he did not know that he was making women uncomfortable, and he's explaining himself after at least three women so far have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment. I now understand that I acted in a way that

made people feel uncomfortable. It was unintentional, and I truly and deeply apologize for it. I never touched anyone inappropriately. I never knew at the time that I was making anyone feel uncomfortable, and I certainly never ever meant to offend anyone or cause anyone any pain. Now, as far as whether or not he plans to step down, as some people are calling for, here's what he had to say. I'm not going to resign. I work for the people

in a state of New York. They elected me, and I'm going to serve the people of the state of New York. And by the way, we have a full plate. We have COVID, we have rebuilding, we have to do vaccines. So no, I'm going to do the job the people of the state elected me to do. Yeah, I really want to know how they decide who they want to resign and not, Like it's very hard to call for Andrew Cuomo to resign if you voted and supported Joe Biden, like I voted for Joe Biden. You know, President Biden

had more serious accusations leveled against him in Cuomo. When it was people telling Joe Biden to drop out of the race, he didn't. He apologized, and he pledged to respect women's personal space. He denied the rape allegations, and

he kept in movements. I just want to know what's the difference with Cuomo, Like why is Cuomo being after resign And it's interesting that right now there's a mayor or race going on in New York City, and so some mayors have aligned themselves with the governor and now they're having to kind of step back and not do that at this time. So that play about the nursing home story with Cuomo, that just went away. It's like in the media forgot about those old people to wake

Cuomo did. Oh yeah, And that's something that's still under investigation too. They're doing an independent investigation on that as well. It's just not being talked about as much right now. Now, as far as the woman that there was the picture of him like grabbing her face, and she says that he kissed her on the cheek and he made an unwanted advance toward her, Anna Rutch. That was in twenty

nineteen at a wedding. Cuomo did say that it's a customary way of greeting for him, you know, where you kiss people on the cheek, and he did apologize for that as well, but he said he's not ashamed of anything he's done in public life. He said, you can find hundreds of pictures of me making the same gesture with hundreds of people and women, men and children, etc. So we'll see how this all plays out. That is h Yeah, I mean, you know, some people do do that,

like they kiss you on both cheeks. And I felt like, you know Italians. Yeah, so I don't know, I don't but it could be awkward. So now I'm sure I'm moving forward. People got to think twice about doing things like that, all right. Now, let's talk about the Toronto Raptors. They had to face the Detroit Pistons last night and unfortunately for them, they had a skeleton of roster. Apparently there was a COVID nineteen outbreak, and they said that

was caused by the coaches bad mask etiquette. So apparently some of them, some of the positive tests of the last week, they said it was an internal spread of the virus and that's from inconsistent mask wearing from the coaching staff members. And he couldn't find anybody to feel th roster spots. Drake didn't want to suit up. Ran a couple minutes with the Raptors. Beeple plays a little basketball. Yeah don't yeah, I don't think people stings in Toronto though.

All right, well a lot of those people who were sideline yesterday will not be expected back for the next game against the Boston Celtics. And that is your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now, earlier this week we had doctor Carhart. Last week last it was last week we had the call hard On and doctor call hard What what is his profession? I know he's a doctor, he's a professor at Columbia University, but

a neuroscientist. He is UM he's a neuroscientist and psychologist and he studies the behavior uh in neuro pharmaological effects of psychoactive drugs and humans that's correct. So he's there at Columbia University. Yeah, Now he just doesn't talk about it. He actually uses the drugs, I guess to be thorough with his investigations and thorough with his reports. He's a research scientist. So, but he also said he does it

for his work life balance. He said, right, there's nothing he enjoys more than sitting by the fireplace and doing a line of heroin. That's right. Well, doctor Steve Perry will be joining us this morning. He heard that interview and uh has some things to say about it, all right, So we're gonna talk to him when we come back, So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, The Breakfast Club back the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning.

Everybody is t j Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomine the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line this morning. Yes, indeed, the brother, doctor Steve Perry. Welcome, Hey blood, how y'all been We're doing pretty good? Man? How you been bro having time in my life? Hey, doctor Steve. For anybody who you know may not know who you are, tell them who you are for real quick. Well, I think What's most important is that I'm the cat who runs schools, starts schools

in the hood, been doing that for twenty years. Many of them know me quite frankly because of the interview I did on Breakfast Club, but buff who we start schools together now in New York and most specifically in Harlem and the Bronx. We just opened up a new school in co Op City and the Bronx super excited about that. Absolutely. You know, I wanted to talk to you, Steve, because we spoke last week, you know, after doctor Carhart was up here to good brother, doctor Carl Hart, and

you had a perspective. You wanted to share another another side, so to speak. And you know, for those of us, but those of you who don't know who Carhart is. He's a doctor who wants to decriminalize drugs, as we all do, because people shouldn't go to jail for addiction. And he's also a person who chooses to do heroin recreationally and says that we all can do that too, if done safely. What do you think about that, Doctor Perry?

So context is everything right? First of all, the interview that you guys did was breathtaking, like much respect to you. That was just so compelling. That's really why Charlotte and I ever spoke. I just just dropped him lines said that was amazing. He's clearly deeply credentialed and much respected in this field. He talks about how he grew up in Miami and the liking that's cool, true, and growing up poor and being black seems like they go together

like ham and eggs. So that all is there. But the context that he operates it is a overwomanly, wealthy, white, highly educated environment. For me, I work and live in the hood. I run schools, our start schools. You don't go to the career Resource center to start schools in the hood. To run schools in the hood. And then our context, what he's saying simply doesn't it doesn't equate to reality. We have a school in Bridgeport and elementary

school in Bridgeport. A hundred yards away from our school is a meth clinic one hundred yards one hundred yards to every single morning, like right now, acause I'm in Bridgeport today, I can see the line forming in freezing cold outside for people trying to deal with their addiction. When he speaks of moralistic impressions of drugs. I get where he's trying to go, and again, much respect to him for having a perspective, but he's speaking to a

different audience. He's speaking to a wealthy, upper middle class, white and other group of people who have access to healthcare, mental health care supports, as well as a family structure, unlike many of the children and families that I work with who don't get to try heroin, who don't get to do it in a controlled environment. It's not just a moralistic difference that he and I see, it's a

functional difference. They're parts of the conversation that are left out when he's talking about the difference between the way we look at drugs and the way we look at

illegal drugs. For instance, in order for a child to be put on any sort of riddling and the like, there's an entire evaluation process that begins at the school level, with observing the child's behavior, having meetings with the parents, having meeting with social working psychiatrist, psychologyist, and then the physician, and then after that it's monitored and then that drug that he uses has been created in a laboratory under the most controlled conditions that we know under the greatest

umbrella of science that we're aware of. It's not creating a crack account by high school dropout who didn't do well in chemistry, who's put anything that she or he can into this drug to make more money, to make it more addictive. So to compare the two is to me contextually off and therefore doesn't make sense in its real application. And so I want to say this because I was trying to have an open mind, and I have seen him on the documentary on Netflix, Crack, and

then I also read a lot of his book. I don't think he's saying, yes, he use drugs, it's good for you. I think what he's saying is that people are using drugs. It's thirty million people in this world that use drugs. As much as we've done this, drugs are bad. We know that we've heard that so much. Right,

people are still doing it. So how do you make sure that they're not embarrassed to come out and say, yes, this is what I'm doing and I need to seek help if they need to seek help for that, That's how some of the message that I was getting from him was. And I don't hear him saying use drugs, and quite frankly, I don't think anybody has that kind of juice that they can get on a radio and tell people to do something. They just all start changing

their life to do it. That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm saying is drugs aren't bad. And one of the reasons why we work so hard to control these substances is because we understand the implications of them when they are uncontrolled. We understand how they run. They ravage not just the body of a person, but the body

of a community. And when you do what I do, which is worked among some of the poor children in the country, you don't have the time to talk about the intricacies of the nuances of if you just use shrooms versus using some other form of stukey. I mean, this is all we have when I'm talking to to my kids. I'm when I'm in the BRONX. If I would standing in front of my parents and say, okay, I want to talk to y'all about how you can use drugs effectively, they conduct you. They look at me

like I lost. They also compared to like prohibition right when liquor was illegal, and how harmful that was because then it was toxic. The people are bootleggers or making anything, and people were actually dying from drinking liquors. So they ended up having to regulate it because people were drinking and liquors not good for you either. You know, that's

a joke. I think what he's talking about is regulating things so that less people are dying from toxic sebstances, because most people are over because they've taken something that they don't know what it is. The majority of people or it's also a combination, right, they've taken these drugs and mix them with other said it is now doctor all true. Let me ask you a question, doctor. You heard the interview. I believe you heard the interview in full. He didn't say do drugs. He didn't say I want

you to go out there and do drugs. My problem was he was comparing it and making it seem like the drug use was okay. You know, he compared it to having an orgasm, right, which which is wild. Then he compared it to how do you put it? Oh, yeah, No, I know a lot of people that use heroin his recreation or you know, every once in a while. But my whole purpose is yeah, even though you're not saying go use drugs, but in my opinion, you're making it

seem like it's okay. Again, this is not a nuanced conversation. It's a context conversation. He can have a conversation at Columbia University with wealthy white and Asian kids from all over the world about how they should or think could think about rug use, and he can have that conversation there.

I spent the lion share of my career, with the exception ten months that I did at Ye's College, working in the Paris communities and so most specifically running a homeless shelter, and I see firsthand what happens when we do allow drugs to be used. And one of the things that's super important is there's a certain laziness if we're going to be really frank about going to drugs instead of going to counseling, instead of going to create

an opportunity for yourself. And I say laziness not as an indictment, but as an honest expression of there are other ways for us to address some of the issues that the underpinnings that we're having. I'm not going to give him that much credit or power to say that he can make people get on or off drugs. But what I can say, and I can also say that the argument, for instance, around prohibition that because it was prohibited,

more people we'll use it. I don't know if that's true, but I do know this how people die, not that more people are using. More people died. And one could argue that again, I don't know. I don't know that, but what I do know is this, there are more people die of alcoholism then opior addiction. I do know that, and alcohol is legal. And I can go one step further that during COVID, when everything was shut down, the package stores were open because it was seen as an

essential service. So I am not going to sit here and suggest that there is not something to be said about the way in which we treat substances. I well, don't move. We got more with doctor Steve Perry. When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning to shoot Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it

with doctor Steve Perry. Yee. Suggestion wise right, because people are still using drugs that are illegal how do you prevent that from happening, and how do you prevent people from dying from that? And how do you prevent people from buying drugs off the street? Very big question. I think you know, one of the many reasons why I'm a huge fan of work that you guys do. There's no simple answers to that. No one person knows that, including me, what I do, So can I just answer

what I do? What I do is create academic experiences that respect Black and Latin people in our communities and show them that they're beautiful and powerful and they don't need to go that route. I show them that there's a future for them beyond these circumstances and they don't have to allow the unearned disadvantages that they have to be compounded by adding additional disadvantages of drugs to their life.

I show them that there's something more powerful in their brain that they can develop then putting something in their body to take them to an altered state. That's what That's my contribution to the conversation. In additions that we create schools within which we understand that mental health is not something that is separate and apart, but embedded in the academic experience that we understand that growing up black and poor is the most traumatic social experience that we

have in the United States of America. That is only worsened by other traumas, but at its base is itself a trauma. So what we do is that other people. When I was running the homeless shelter, what I might have said is that I want mental health support in context where people can gain access to it earlier and cheaper. If I were working in another setting, if I were working in a hospital setting, I might want to put

in place some sort of detox opportunity. So depending upon what someone does in my lane, in my context, what I do, it means putting myself out there in our community with our team of mainly black and Latin people, to start our own schools, to start the revolution that needs to happen, the power that needs to happen, because at the root of every revolution is education. For me, what do you think, doctor Perry, What do you think about doctor car Hearts comments that we have exaggerated the

impact of hard drugs in America. I think he's wrong, and its fundament mentally think he's wrong. I don't you don't need one hundred percent of your hood to be slinging. In order for your entire community to be jacked up, you just need like five or six dudes on one block terrorizing the entirety of the community as they try to run the block. You don't need everybody to be in that space. The threat that they offer in their attempt to address whatever it is that they're dealing with

is actual. It's real. And so again, at Columbia University, maybe it's not that big a deal. Maybe it's not. But in Harlem, where I work, he works at Columbia, I work at Harlem. They're in the same place, but they might as well be on different planets. But I work, drugs are really a big deal, and they're the reason why, in so many cases, some of my teachers can't walk to their cars without somebody following them. It's the reason

why some of my kids are afraid. I can't tell you how many kids we're supposed to have as a New York as a public school in New York, charter schools in public schools, as a podle school in New York, was supposed to have zero taling. So if the kid brings a knife into the school, I'm bringing some other weapon into the school. I'm supposed to expel them, like,

just straight up. It's just the whole story. I can't tell you how many times I have to work through that in my own conscious when I when I have a child who I know has a weapon on them. They're not bringing it to school to cause harm to the school. They're just trying to get to school. And I have to ask myself when I carried a weapon, was I carrying it to hurt somebody in school? Was I just carrying just get from my house to my school? So what student in between me and my school were

not poppy seeds? It was crack. When he's talking about that, the crack epidemic was overblown, Come on, bro over by who like? What's over over them? What? Like? What does that mean? I don't know how what he saw. Again, I can't speak to what he saw in his context. I can only talk about what I saw when I was in Philadelphia, when I was working out in Philadelphia, in North Philly, and when I was in the Bottoms in Philly called the Bottoms, and what it looked like.

And I can tell them what it was this morning when I went to visit our elementary school, and it looks like zombies walking by. I don't know what he sees where he goes to his job. I just know what I see when I go to my job. And I don't want people using drugs call me a square. I'll be a square all day. I'm cool with that. I'll be your square. Just to talk about how he explained it, though, I think what doctor Carhart was saying was that the issue it is deeper than drugs, right.

It is the community is the people that are underemployed or unemployed. People are dealing with anxiety and with depression, and then they're buying drugs off the street to try

to treat that, not knowing what's in these drugs. Also, and then also I think a difference and how people look at white people who use drugs and how they look at black people who use drugs, because white people use drugs too, right, And people who are the true and wealthy use drugs also, but they're not looked at the same way as criminals and as addicts the way that black people are all true and there is nothing that black people do other than make music and play

on play games. Where when we do it, people think we're cooler at it. Like, let's just call that what it is, right, let's just name that for what it is. But that's okay with me. I don't. I'm cool with the fact that I don't want African Americans and Latin people to be elevated in our drug use. I'm okay with that. Like, I'm okay that that's not a thing. Every issue that we face is compounded by drug use. Every issue. If racism is an issue, add drugs to it.

It is possible to say both are true, meaning that there is racism and we should not be doing anything to in any way just by drug use. I mean, I'm not a fan of Nancy Reagan either or her husband. Let's just call it what it is. During when I was growing up, he said the ketch up was a vegetable, right, So I'm not okay with that, And I actually impacted me because I was one of those poor I was one of those poor kids whose lunches got diminished because

I had free lunch. So my lunch, my vegetable, was a packet of ketchup. I got that. I'm all there for that, But what I also want to make it clear is that I'm not going to draw false equivalence. And Charlomagne made this point, you can't keep drawing these false equivalents, like it's not the same, it is different. Here's one of the many places that he and I can completely violently agree. It's different to be black, even light skin with curly hair black, it's different. I well,

don't move. We got moved with doctor Steve Perry. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, DJ Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club, was still kicking it with doctor Steve Perry. For somebody who's seeing close, up close and personal, somebody who has

odd and died. You know, two people in my family when I go to these homes and I purchased these these fed up cribs, and I see heroin addicts in the house and strung out, and I have these conversations because you got to ask them to leave, you know, And I asked them, you know how, And and like you said, a lot of them come from wealthy families and they can't kick it. And they tried it one time and they're stuck. And it's not like okay, I

can give up. No, it's they need that hit. And when he was talking about the orgasm is the same, I'm like, I ain't never seen nobody pulling a TV for some sex, you know what I mean. I've never seen nobody, you know, rob their grandmama's purse for for some sex, or hurt somebody for some some some vagina. I never, But I've seen it all the time for heroin and crack and coke and all a lot of

other these things that people are strung off of. So I just think they want to say that it's okay and that you can do it recreational like that is

just crazy to me. I just think that conversation is interesting because a lot of things we've tried to haven't worked, and so I'm open minded to because he's done like twenty five years of research on this right and has changed his own viewpoint based on the research that he's done and not saying yes, it's okay to do drugs, but like, for instance, and this is for adults, not for kids, by the way, and he always stresses that he's not saying that kids can make these determinations, but

he's saying that responsible adults who are you know, take care of all their responsibilities. Know, like for instance, if I do shrooms, I'm not going to do a huge bag of shrooms, I know, just take a little bit. Or if you do edibles, you know, I'm not going to eat twenty edibles. Think you're going to have a little bit. So what he's saying is people can make that because he did the micro dosing or whatever. He

and listen, I'm never trying her. I can tell you that, like that's not going right, and he has and he has tried it. But what he's saying is there's more people that don't get addicted than do, which is not true. But I'm just I'm just telling you what what his argument is because I I don't know, I haven't studied it to have my own firsthand information and just because I was reading it. So I try to look at it from both sides. Right, it hasn't worked to say

just say no to drugs. It hasn't worked to say well, you need to go to rehab and you need to get treatment. So he wants to make sure that people will still be alive if that's the choice that they're making to do it. How do you do it in a more responsible way so you don't die, just like people have the needle exchange program where they trade in their dirty needles to get clean ones. I don't know. I don't know what the real answer is, but I'm just looking at it like a lot of things haven't worked.

I agree with all that, but you know I would push back and say, we haven't tried hard enough. You know what I mean, because we still send people with addiction the prison instead of getting them rehabilitation. So so I would ask you, doctor Parry, do you think we'll ever get to that point in this country where we'll move the complete rehabilitation instead of prison when it comes to non violent drug offenses as long as the offenders

are black and Latin and poor. Now, this short answer to that is the people who generationally have enslaved us are likely not going to change their wicked ways if we're just going to be frank about that. But that doesn't mean that we can't do something. I go back to what MB was just saying. If you've never visited a house that is a crack den, that is a place where people are living as squatters. If you've never walked into experience that stench, and it is a stench.

It's a vomit inducing stench. If you've never seen that, then I can completely understand why you might be able to have an esoteric conversation about it, like you might be able to talk about changing things around the edges.

I get that. I completely get that. But once you have done that, and you've gone in there and seeing not just stray dogs in there, but children who are being treated no differently than a stray dog, then you start to see, you know what, this this thing that we thought was a victimless crime is actually not a victimless crime. Actually, people really are dying from this in a real way. So what that means to me? Charlemagne and I go back to when he asked me the question,

I think, it's a fantastic question. What do I think? I think from my place, we have to create avenues where we are, So you, through your meetings, through your means, and me through mine, we have to create our own I'm not asking anybody to come in and solve the problems in my community. I just want everybody to be really crystal clear on that. Unless you hear anything other coming out of my mouth, I'm saying, as a black man in my community, I'm not asking anybody to come

in and solve this problem for me. I'm not doing that. What I want to do is I want to put as many buzz and sisters together and allies to believe in what we believe, to come in and get the work done. Even though we didn't get here by ourselves, we ain't gonna get out by asking somebody to come in and undig this ditch. Should they put us in,

That's not gonna happen. I agree with you, and I agree with doctor Carl Hard when he says we should decriminalize drugs because I refuse to accept the fact that people should go to prison for addiction. But I just I just can't encourage people to do cracking heroin recreationally. I don't think the black black people are in any position to allow that type of rhetoric to go and and I don't think we should attempt to create safe spaces for folks to do hard drugs. To your point,

let's get them help. Let's provide them with jobs and opportunities, Let's get let's provide them with better mental health resources. You know, let's teach them with trade so they can be more productive citizens. Because a lot of people, man, they turned to drugs because they're trying to escape their trauma. Yeah literally, I mean they'll tell you. Just just ask. I'm sure envy when you're in those houses and you say, man, how did you get here? I'll tell you really quick story.

There was a cat who at the shelter that I was at, that was working at and you know, regular looking white guy right like you know, like you just see like regular looking white guy like whatever, not that anyone not losing hadn't lost ant. He lost everything because of drugs, And so I asked him, how did you lose everything like it? He said, well, you know, it just became a thing over time. I worked to get high, like I worked to get high, and I add a

small business. What have you? As I said to him, if I took you to Alaska and dropped you off away from everybody, would that be what you need? He said no, he said, I'd find a way to cole. He lost his kids, he lost his business, he lost his spouse, he lost his house. That doesn't happen to your point earlier, Charlemagne, because you're trying to take some tale. Ain't nobody losing everything because they're trying to get you. Ain't you ain't getting just because you're trying to get

some behind you. Ain't losing everything behind that mess. I don't. I don't think we can deny that drugs are really harmful and for a lot of people. But do you think there are people who use drugs that can still function in society and work and be responsible. Absolutely, there are people who do things. I mean, look, Willie Nelson has been high since we were kids, right, we right, So let's just stay there. But he's functioning on age to the question of just a basic question, can you

be yet? Absolutely? But the question becomes what is the quality of life when that substance is controlling your movement? Right? It's fantastically different when you do something and it is recreational, right, and you do it and you leave it and you're going back to it, that's fine. But for me, I watched the Tiger King and I watched them playing with those big cats, and then I watched the one person lose her arm. That's one arm for one person too

many for me. That's good enough for me too. Yeah, Lets say I think so if there. Can you do something? Can you do judgs recreationally without being addicted? I can't because I've had substance I've had substance abuse in my family. I'm not that guy. I'm not testing faith. I don't agree with him when he suggests that substance abuse doesn't run in the family. There's too much research that actually counter his point. And again, he is highly credential, highly respected.

I'm not questioning his credentials or his opinion, but I also have an opinion as someone who works in this space on the other side, and on the other side, it is often the case, whether it's whether it's nature or nurture, I can't make the distinction. And honestly, I don't care. I don't care if the reason why this child is trying drugs because drugs are in his house, or if he's trying drugs because that's somehow it's predispositioned to do. So for me, it doesn't it doesn't matter

at all. And the thing that's crazy, like you mentioned, like he said, I'm a functioning attict, right, but then he said he's not addicted, So what is the definition of an addict? According to what I know? And working in the field. An attic is someone who needs this, who needs this thing. That doesn't mean that they miss activities. They may be very much at these activities. She may be dropping her children off in the volvo at school

every day. She may do that every day, and soon she gets home, she goes and she uses a pill, or she uses this struggle, she ships to alcohol. Once it's part of your life and it's part of your coping, then it's an addiction. Not every person has to lose their teeth, Not every person has to lose their job, not every person has to lose their family, but you

do lose your freedom, and that's an attic. An attic loses their freedom to determine whether or not they're going to use that substance or going to engage in that behavior. That's when you're addicted. Doctor Steve Perry, where can they find you? They go see Perry on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. But the most important thing is John's extreme segue. Right now, our schools are open and we're super excited about that.

We are accepting applications. They can go to we are Capital Prep dot org that's in Connecticut and New York. We love your listeners and your listeners are our parents, and we want your parents, your listeners, and our parents to know that we love your children and we've badly want to be a part of their academic experience, and we want to teach them how to communicate through the trauma.

We want to cheach them to dream big. Because we sent one hundred percent of our gradgers on the four year colleges every single year since we opened in two thousand and five. That's a school founded by black people for Black and Latin people. That's not gonna stop just because, uh, the system keeps pushing it and making it hard of us to do. So, thank you so much. I love Steve Ferry. It's the breakfast club. Go on, listen, gott

It's the rule of report breakfast Club. So Farrell was on Naomi Campbell's web series No Filter with Naomi and he shared with her that she was kind of the inspiration of this song by Gwen Stefani halleback girl around that text stopping because there ain't no I ain't all right. That song was produced by the Neptunes and it was a number one song. And here's what he said happened. Gwen and I had a song called hollow Back, and

that chorus came from a conversation you were telling. You were telling somebody you ain't know hollow back girl, because of the song that we had with Fabulous at the time called hollow Back. You told somebody somebody was like trying to speak to you whatever. He was like, I'm sorry, I have a name, like I'm not no hollow back girl, and I thought that was so amazing. Okay, So he took Naomi's response to somebody and combined fabulous fabulous, is

uh halleback? Yep, yeah, because Nammy got that from the Yeah. Wow, No you're not if you right, at some point, you do hollow back, right, she might not ever at some come on, now, at some point somebody made it seem like that dude was a peasant, because I know hollow back curl a little peasant. But I'm saying, at some point some man hollid and she did hollow back. So when you do hollow back, does that make you a holliback girl? Are you just not a holliback girl in

the moment? Are you just not a holliback girl? Period? Which one The more I feel like Halliback is like when you won the street and somebody high at you, it's not necessarily the most respectful way. Oh well, that's different all right. Now. Kim Kardashian, they're saying, we'll reportedly get that Hidden Hills and mansion when her and Kanye West are divorced and she has that house. She's been

living there with their four children. You know, he's been in Wyoming, so I'm sure even though Kanye designed the mansion, other than that, he's not really that super connected to it. And most of her family members live less than a block away in the same neighborhood, so makes sense, right as they try to figure out these things, they have a lot of things to split up, but they both have a lot of money, so I'm sure financially it'll be okay, all right. Megan Nastallion, she's in a new

Calvin Clyde ad campaign. She looks amazing by the way, and she posted a hottie and my Calvin's the hot girl for Calvin Kleine Spring twenty twenty one. Mario Sorrenti she captured the post like that, did y'all see it? Yeah? I did. It's amazing, I said Partisan, Ye, she looks good, Partisan wrote Partisan wrote luckiest man alive under the picture dropping a clue Martha Parties and Fontaine. I'm proud of you, both of them. I'm glad they're happy. Man. Well, yeah,

they're a very good looking couple. I'm proud of you. Partisan. In addition to that, Magna Stallion also just was featured on a My Room five song. They just put that out and the song is called Beautiful Mistakes because I let you Usually I like my situal worships, Ben Official, you want something different, I mean looking stupid. The only way I'm coming back to do was me dreaming. Lucy. Who's more? Room five? They do the Room five? As you stop it. They've did a big deal, right, Yes,

they're a big deal. Did a song with who Wait, no it wasn't. Was it the party that Chris Markin? She did? Chris Martin is the lead sing Room five? Right, I rock with you? Yeah, I will say yeah yeah Chris Martin. Yeah, yeah, I heard it him. Chris Martin, he's the guy he runs the Room five. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah it's Chris Martin. All right. Now, now let's talk about Page Kennedy He's been on The Breakfast Club before.

He has a new album out called Page and he's also on the Netflix series The Meg in an upcoming series called The Upshaws with Mike Epps. And he was on lip Service recently. And I didn't know that you can get an STD without even having sex. Here's what he said happened to him. But the first time I got hurt, I didn't even have sex. I literally was

just basically draw humping his girls. She had her panties on, she will let me I have my draws on, And I guess her secretion through her panties and through my draws is what caused it. And the sad thing about it is that's not even the only time that that happened. Um, I don't want to everybody be said fout there. I'm not gonna call him a liar. I'm not gonna call him a liar. But you are a liar and always said a liar. Why don't you believe you call him

a liar? I'm gonna say I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary. I'm not the strong, strongest avenger. If any doctor strangers are out there, I would like to comment on my page and let me know if this guy is telling the true. Can you actually catch your STD without having sex? Bro, please inform me. He said it twice? He said he called it twice. He just said it's not the only time. I don't know how many I thought sexually transmitted diseases had to be

transmitted through sex. If there's some crancretions, if there's some secretions. Right, listening to ya, y'all not doctors, you can still if her secretions hole you guys have sound like he's just making content for the podcast. I'm not listening to y'all. I need to talk to the doctor. Doctor, doctor, paging doctors, I need to talk to you. Let me sounds crazy if that's true. I just want to know. Be careful. Everybody out there drive up and thinking they're doing something

nothing really it could maybe happen. I don't know. All right, Well that is a report, all right, almost bet money nobody's ever gotten to STD from dry house he did. All right, No way, I'm gonna tell all that. I'm gonna tell ye Bridge in Brooklyn soon. Bro, watch give me a minute. Will you give it a doggy? Too bad? Four after the hour. We need Greg McDermott, the head coach for the Creighton University. UM, I don't know what their basket is. We need them to come to the

front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. It's a teachable moment for white people. All right, we'll get to that. Next is to Breakfast Club. Go morning. Let's don't be a dust because right now you want some real It's time for Donkey of the day. So if we ever feel I need to be a dog man with the heat, did she get get the name? Please? I had become Donkey of the Dead the Breakfast Club bitches. Yeah, Donkey today for Thursday, March fourth gold. God damn it,

it's much already. It's March fourth, Floord, have mercy. Donkey today for Thursday, March fourth Gold to Greg McDermott. Now, who is Greg McDermott. He is the head basketball coach at Creighton University. He's coached there for eleven years and if I'm not mistaken, he's the reigning Big East Culture of the Year. Now, for the past few years, we've been in a reckoning in this country. Okay, the always

of this world don't serve us anymore. I mean, they never did, but the power structure was such that none of this stuff was truly challenged. Therefore it was never changed. Okay. Women are holding men accountable for, you know, their sexism and misogyny. And LGBT community is holding people accountable for, you know, their homophobia and transphobia. And black people are

holding America accountable for white supremacy. Beautiful things, okay, and listen, things have been one way for so long that a lot of our behaviors come from our unconscious mind. Unconscious mind, as far as I know, stem from Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality, and the unconscious mind is defined as a reservoir feelings, okay, thoughts, urges, and memories that are

outside of conscious awareness. Okay. Sigmund Freud believed that the unconscious continues to influence behavior even though people are unaware of their underlying influences. So America has been one way for so long, and we've been influenced by this, whether we know it or not. To our language of behavior, it's usually a reflection of the systems that we have been a part of. And if you're honest with yourself, man,

old man, have we been taught wrong? Okay? So we have all had to unlearn certain things, and that's great. It's great. We all make mistakes. It's how you respond to the correction that shows the level of your character. There is a reason why you do what you do, and it's an important day in your life experience when you discover that reason. I'm bringing all this up because Greg McDermott made a mistake, a mistake made because of

years of conditioning. He's fifty six years old, fifty six year old white man coaching an NC Double A Division one basketball team with about seven seven black basketball players. Okay, one black assistant head coach. Might even be more black players on the team. A lot of them look real miscellaneous in the face. So I don't know. I'm not throwing him any bail at all, because he should absolutely know better. But I believe his unconscious mind told him

to save this. Let's go to Keyshawn, Jay Will and zub and show on e FBN for the report Police Credon's head coach Greg mcdermot's fielding some questions about some comments that he made following a loss to Xavier last Saturday, this is McDermott telling the team quote, guys, we got to stick together. We need both feed in. I need everybody to stay on the plantation. I can't have anybody

leave the plantation. McDermott did say he quote immediately after saying those words, immediately recognized my egregious mistake and quickly addressed my use of such insensitive words with my team. The university put out a statement saying that their basketball coach used a term that was quote deplorable and if you're wondering for one member of the team, Terrence Rencher, who was a black assistant coach, said he was quote

deeply hurt by McDermott's words. Do we have homo? We don't have homer when you need now, if dad, the top three things not to say to black people one being the N word, okay, three anything negative about beyond stay. Then two got to be any reference to slavery. Okay, the plantation. You be in our mathet. I shouldn't even have to explain to you the generational trauma attached the plantation references. But what I like even more about this situation.

But what I like about this situation is that it is a teachable moment. Okay, the teachable moment for all white people. Of course, you know not to say this now, or maybe you don't, but remember what I said earlier about how we all make mistakes and how you respond to correction. That shows the level of your character. Listen

to Greg McDermott apologize. I made an awful mistake. And when you make a mistake sometimes you're not only disappointed in yourself, but the pain that I caused our players who look to me as a mentor and as a leader, the pain that I saw in their eyes was I meant, that's where my disappointment is in myself. Is that what I've done to some young people that I love very much. So that's a cross that I'm going to have to bear.

I'm going to come out of this a better person because of it, but it's it's going to be a process. Have some more conversations which we need to have so that I can help them and they can help me. Now, you know, you know what that's real because he isn't being threatened. He didn't lose anything. There's no threat of losing anything. Okay, he apologized, all right, now, I'm sure they asked him to apologize, but that seems very sincere.

And self correction is important. Okay, see self correction. Some of y'all white people fighting the changes. Okay, y'all still trying to hold onto the old way of doing things. Greig didn't make any excuses. He didn't start that silly white victimhood nonsense. He didn't say white people are being targeted. He acknowledged he did something wrong and he corrected himself. That is how you make the world a better place.

Michael Joseph Jackson said, if you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change. So when someone calls you on your behavior, tells you that something you are doing isn't right, don't fight it. Just make that damn change. Okay. Self correction is the biggest sou social service. Also, this man, Greg McDermott offered to resign. Okay, he offered to resign, and his players say, no, we don't want him to resign. He made a mistake. I don't don't think he should

resign either. He just made a mistake. He should be held accountable and he should change, and he should use his privilege moving forward to correct other Caucasians. I want someone of his character being the master of other white folks. And he has a great lesson to teach his players. Now See, everybody thinks mistakes are the first steps to success, but the real fact is the correction of mistakes is the first steps to success. Learn that you will manifest

a better life for yourself and others. Please give Greg McDermott the sweet side of the Hamiltones. Oh no, you are doge of the day, the Doge oh the day. Ye. All right, all right, well, thank you for that dunkey today. Yes, man up next ask ye eight hundred five eight five one five one. If you need relationship advice and any type if advice, call ye now was the breakfast club? Good morning the breakfast club. These relationship advice, need personal advice,

just need real advice. Haul up now for ask ye. Hey, it's two of y'all on the line right now. This is for asking you. Guys have similar problems. So Ye's gonna try to bust it both down for both of y'all life. Okay, Okay, so who's going first? I guess I'll go first. Let's have a conversation. Okay, So this is where I'm at me and my boyfriend. We've been together. I'm twenty eight, um, and we've been together since I was thirteen years old. We have three children together. Um.

But he has a drinking problem. And this drinking problem has developed, you know, maybe about seven years ago. And at that time, you know our son. You know, he was injured in a car accident due to and he has chromatic brain injury, and of course those type of won't take a long time to heal. I'm still dealing with it myself, and you know, for the most part, you know, he's been It was bad, then it got good, then it got bad again, and now it's like really

bad again. So my question is, you know, at this point, you know, and it got so bad to the point, well, let me back up and say, it got so bad to the point that he wrote me in to become an alcoholic as well. But last year I took it upon myself to change my life. I don't drink anymore, you know, I don't. I used to smoke cigarettes, nasty habit, you know, but I don't been a year since I smoked cigarette. The years since I've drank liquor or whatever. And I realized you know that we were going down

a dark path. So now I've been trying to leave you by example, you know, So basically, what now that I've changed and he doesn't want to change, I'm at this place where I'm like, do I leave him? You know, to um so he's not taking me back or you know, because I've always been, you know, a hustler. You know, I am the read winner of the family, you know, and I never let him know that or anything like that, but you know, I feel like with him, you know,

having this problem, he's dragging me down. Yeah, that's well, my situation is pretty much the same either. I'm just not a drinker myself, but my husband, he's been drinking in and out the hospital for pancreatis for like three or four times. Different doctors over like maybe five different doctors sell him to stop drinking, but he'll stop drinking when he lives a hospital, but he'll eventually start back drinking.

And I'm like, you know, you don't supposed to be drinking or having that, and he's like, I'm gonna be okay, but it scares me. And when he drinks, he's like a whole different, dreadsive person. He's not drinking. He's like super sweet, so charming, so, you know, just a great

person overall. But I'm just in the process of now it's like he's kind of wearing me down because I'm kind of getting overwhelmed with it and I'm like really ready to leave me and my kids, you know, ready to go because it's like I'm just every day come home for a drink, beer in his hand, drink and drink, drinking. Done. Stop.

So and ladies, first of all, I want to say, I'm so sorry to hear that both of y'all have to go through this, And I commend our first caller for actually getting the help that she needed and being cleaned for a year. That's a huge accomplishment. You know, alcoholism is a disease too, so that is an addiction that somebody has to want to get help. And like you guys have both stated, it doesn't seem like these men are trying to seek the help that they so

desperately need. Have I that one of you ever tried to do an intervention? Yes, I actually go to my counseling. Um, my counselor referred me to someone who I can actually have him to go see our schedule the appointment or the day of the appointment. It's like, Oh, I don't need counseling it. I don't need to go to rehab. I'm good. I can do it on my own. I could software. He just speaks like he's not an alcoholic basically, but all alcoholics seem they're not alcoholics, right. The first

step is admitting it, exactly. That's exactly how I feel. You know, I've come to him and I told him, you know that, you know you're an alcoholic. You know you need help. You know, look what you're doing to me and the kids, you know, and I'm here. It's the same thing, you know, where he's like, you know, very nice, he's himself when he's sober, But when he's

an alcoholic, you shift. It's so different. And I would highly recommend getting an expert that can actually help you set up a real intervention right where you have family members close people that can actually sit down in the room and help be supportive, but also talk to this person, talk to him your husband about how this is tearing in the family apart. Because again, they have to know that they have a problem, and they have to want

to seek help. And again, it is a disease. So while you do have to be supportive, you also can't cover up his problems for him. Do you guys still have liquor in the house. No, I don't think if I don't carry any of that in my home. But he'll go back for all day to about the way he wants. Yeah, and it's to the point that he will get on the bike. I don't because he don't even have a car, no mode, because he got a duf and he'll get on the bike and I you're not dropping my car. And if he's to ask him

to some of the all right, well listen. I want to direct you guys to American Addiction Center Centers dot org and they'll actually have a lot of resources on there. You can even chat online with somebody that is confidential so that they can help you figure out what type of help you guys specifically need. But I do think, you know, maybe set up an intervention not just with the pastor, but with family members. Maybe the pastor also can come in a therapist, somebody that can actually leave

this conversation an expert. Like I said, it's not easy, and this is a disease and it's something that they have to want to say, Okay, I'm gonna take and you know it could happen at anytime. That's why you have to be optimistic and have to keep on and greening this message into someone's head until they finally hear it, because it could end someone's life, you know. And again for yourself, I don't want you guys, this is a heavy burden on you as well, and I don't want

to tell you. I can't tell you to leave somebody or what not to do because I think the guilt that you might feel if you did. But again you cannot, you know, make excuses for him. But I do feel like you need to get that professional help. You can call eight eight eight nine nine eight two six oh five. You can go online to American Addiction Centers dot org again get that treatment that you need and figure out what it is that you can do, some actionable steps

that you can take. Because it is a disease, so help is available. You can speak to somebody for free and then find out what you need to do, and it's all confidential and they have public health agencies that deal with this. Also. You can also call one eight hundred and six six two four three five seven, and you can get some substant abuse treatment. But this is a serious issue. So that's why I want you to

talk to somebody that's an expert in dealing with this. Yes, Meta, while I appreciate your advice there, you know, to the other bluddy just prying getting there, you know, I'm here with you experience, definitely, thank you, Thank you Angela here, I appreciate it. Thank you, ladies. I'm praying for them. I ask ye eight hundred five eight five one oh five one if you need relationship advices to breakfast club, good morning. I'm keep for some real advice, ask ye.

Wanting everybody's dj envy Angela yee. Charlomine the guy we are the breakfast club with in the middle of asking ye, Hello,

who's this Astley Askeley, what's your question for ye? I've been with someone for years and my children have known him also for years, and they was like three and time they're older now and they're to the point where they're calling him dad, and their father, who just got in their life because of court purposes, feel as though they shouldn't be calling him dad now and that they should shop stop. How are your children now? Um? Nine?

How old are yours? That's the bigger problem. Sure, that's yours. Yes, Lord, I'd be doing the same thing though, but I'm a dad. Dad can do that. I don't think mother should be allowed to do that. One of us got to know how the goddamn well, we know, we talked to charity numbers, birthdays, all the stuff. The numbers are flying all over to place. Yeah, so it's like sixty years. You've been with this man

for six years? Yeah, okay, And so the children are comfortable calling him dad, and they've done that on their own, Yes, on their own. We sat down and talk with them, see how they're feeling. But me and him both talked by ourselves when my daughter first started calling him dad, and then he said, well, we're gonna wait and see if she's gonna continue to do it, and then we just want to see how it's gonna go from there.

And then we just you know, sat it down and started talking with her and then she felt it though, it's okay, and we kind of start and said of some boundaries in our house because he also has children, and we bring our children together so that no one feel like a black sheet, because that's a big generational thing that seems to be in family. So we don't want none of our children feeling uncomfortable. But they don't,

thank God, because we're bringing them together. And I will say, just based on other families I know that are blended families, you kind of have to let the kids lead the way and they feel most comfortable in these situations if that's what they're comfortable doing, and you guys are okay with it, But I do think it's important that they

know what the relationship is, right. They do know they have a father, a biological dad, but he's been raising them as he should if he's with you, like they're his children too, because when you're with somebody that has kids, that's like those are your kids too, and you never want them to feel different than his biological children, right.

And this is the thing that just really bothered me is that their biological dad, when I go to him for things for the children, he feelings though that my fiance ought to be doing it because he's the one that's there, but he doesn't want them now to be calling him dead. And I'm just like, well, how you don't want them to call him dad? But you don't want to do nothing for him. Yeah, Unfortunately, it's not

even up to him at this point. You know, this man has been doing a great job and the kids feel comfortable calling him dad, and he's planning, I assume to be in their life, right. You guys are planning to be together for the long haul, yes, and so that's what they're comfortable with. And unfortunately for him, he hasn't been there and he still can be their father. Also, he is their father, and he should still act appointingly anything.

I'm we're adults and everybody have been married before and dealt the this time thing and as a as parents and co parents and everybody should respect each other's wishes and boundaries and everything and don't discredit the other parents.

It's just a lot with him, and we try to make sure everything is mature, but it's always Yea, it sounds like you guys might need to do some he might need some individual counseling, and then maybe there's some type of parenting counseling that you guys can do together so that y'all can function when we want to court.

The judge seems what was going on and seeing how he was reacting and he sent us to cool parents and classes right to help and no not on his end, no right, So well, listen, I would say this, it would probably be hurtful to the children if you try to go to them and say, oh, you can't call the person who you look at as a father figure dad anymore, especially if he's okay with it, you're okay

with it. And at some point you know their biological father is gonna have to step up and he's there's nothing he could really do about it, and he should be grateful that somebody has done a great job and that you're with somebody that treats these children so well. Absolutely, and I feel the same way, and I just I always try to let him know that no one discredits him on no one takes who he is from our children.

And it did something more denoccause I just wanted to make sure as a woman that I was doing the right thing. And I just sometimes as a female, we don't we don't see a man's side or understand his feelings. So it's okay. I feel as though it's okay for females who act another female or a guy. Just make sure that you're not out of line. Now you've done everything that you can do, and you're respectful to him as a dad. You're not denying him any of the

privileges that he has as their biological father. But whatever it is best for the kids is what should be best in this situation. It's not about how he feels and hit and we take that into consideration, but it's bigger than him. It's about the kids. Yeah. Absolutely, I appreciate y'all. I just want to let y'all know me and my kids listen to y'all every morning all our way to school, the words, so do you call your man daddy? Do you call your man daddy? Y'all? Soo

do not? Just wondering the only reason you're letting these kids listen to this adult programming because you don't know how old he is. My kids are very pure for their age, and it's so weird, but they my daughter, he loves the guests. What race it is? That's funny me stuff that goes on to school and she goes, mom, that's what happened to school today? And let's see. I love it. I love it, thank you very much, all right? Ask eight hundred five eight five one five one. We

got rumors on the way. Vanessa Brian, she is talking about finding strength after Kobe and Gianna's tragic deaths. Will tell you what she had to say and this exclusive People interview. All right, we'll get into what next is the Breakfast Club? Good morning the Breakfast Club. This is the rumor report with Angela and Lord. Drake has confirmed some new music coming and that music will be coming out.

What's the day, the fourth, the fifth, tomorrow? Tomorrow? Yes, he put Friday Midnight and he shared some artwork for Scary Hours too, Certified Lover Boys coming soon. Feeling like I do. Like when Aubreya says Scary Hours, why I just do. That's when he puts out his best work. That's that's when somebody's pissed him off. All right, I can't wait to have some new Drake music. All right. Well,

Vanessa Brian is on the cover of People magazine. She's featured on the magazines Women Changing the World cover, and she talks about how her daughters have helped her cope with the family tragedy. They've gone through a lot together and she said the pain is unimaginable. You have to get up and push forward. Lying in bed crying isn't going to change the fact that my family will never be the same again. But getting out of bed and pushing forward is going to make the day better for

my girls and for me. So that's what I do. Okay, always send them prayers and love to Vanessa. That has to be one of them. I couldn't even imagine that type of pain, her daughter, her husband, but she does have her girls that give her the strength that she needs. So make sure you pick up that People magazine all right. Now, Square has acquired a majority steak in jay Z's Title

for two hundred and ninety seven million dollars. Jay Z will retain his steak in the music streaming business, but he'll also join squares board of directors as part of the deal. So through this deal, jay Z and Titles are the shareholders, which include Beyonce, Madonna, Rihanna. Are you know, a lot of different artists will continue to own their piece of the business, but that business will operate as

an independent division within Square. Yeah. I mean, it's a lot of different things that are impressive about this deal. But you know the fact that the artists who were now would title from the beginning are the second largest you know shareholders of this deal. Man drove on a clues bombs, big ball teams, you know, hold had a good couple of weeks and where is by the way, they have cash app there, you know, so for that type of money services. And it seems like this has

been some years in the making. He's been jay Z Jack Dorsey had been talking for quite some time. It's actually started a few months ago, and those talks progressed after they discovered the shared purpose between them that was to build things and empowered others to be more successful in their own work. So going to what's next for Hope though, like because you know, he always thinks five steps ahead, Like see, that's what's wrong with y'all needs.

I'm just curious. I love the way his mind thinks. I'm just curious, Like what how he thinks? Can we can we stay here for a second? Can we stay with the title in the spoi space? And it's great, the Champagne less you know, that's great, But I'm just curious to what's next, Like what's on his agenda? Like is it to what's next? I just love the way he thinks. So he always told us stay low and keep firing. And he hasn't looked back since that's his model,

stay low and keep firing. It's really only two ways to do business right, good and bad. And Hope historically does does good business. And he's sitting on the board of Square now, so he's like, over cash app, what else Square, guy, I'm only got cash happing something else? Well, oh, since you on the board. There's a lot of people that's been DM and me. They send people wrong people a cash app and they how to get their money back, and they say, there's no number for cash app. Can

you get a number of for you? Send that money out on cash app? You can't get it back? Yeah, can you fix that hole? You send it to the wrong person. Yeah, you know what I was thinking about this morning too, And this is so random. I was thinking. I was thinking about the last deal with LVM MAT and I was thinking about how George Clooney gave all his close friends a million dollars. I'm like, I wonder if Jay does stuff like that. Probably does that all

the time. This, here's a million for you, Emory, here's a million for you, TA for you. Be high. But those are not just his friends they worked also, Yeah, and they also work with him. George Clooneys was just like his boys from school, you know, but those are boys from school. He gave his boys from school jobs and they didn't go to school. But I'm just saying they also work with him, so they're kind of went to the school. A hard knock shot. Yeah, they didn't

go to school. Come on all right, now, the real house is Atlanta. According to the Jasmine Brand is looking to cast a female comedian in Atlanta, so they've been putting out some fillers to see who might potentially be a good fit. They haven't made a decision yet about who's returning for the upcoming scene. But I also saw that my girl Jasmine Brand didn't exclusive with Kenya Moore about whether or not she broke girl code for accusing one of the women to have hooked up with a

male stripper at Cynthia Billy's bachelorette party. We sell the video footage now and here's what she said. Do you think you broke girl colde? No, I don't think I broke girl code because that implies that I am somehow snaching on my friends and we already know who the people are involved, and Portrait clearly said I'm not her friend. So a girl called if I'm not your girl? No, she broke girl code. Vy was so into this, That's why I was like, So, if you don't know what happened,

it was a stripper party. They turned the cameras off, they made production leave, they covered the cameras. Whatever happened after that is whatever happens after that. You're not supposed to tell that the same thing as god code. We all go to a strip club, right and everybody in the cameras leave and everything, and your man does something crazy, you tell them, girl go come on. It sounds like

dumb coode and I break dumb code. It's stupid enough to go to a bachelor party knowing you getting married and you do something and somebody tells and you do something in front of all these people, but the person getting married and do anything. Cynthia didn't do anything. It was just somebody else. Yeah, not Cynthia. I thought you said about your boys going out. But if your boys go to the club, I mean, Charloman and you've been to the strip club with one of your peoples, did

something stupid you just laugh about it. You keep it in your group chatting. That's it. You don't go tell the world. I don't know nothing. I don't know what you're talking about. Spluf I. The cameras were rolling. Nah, they turn the cameras off. I saw some video footage. Now they turned the cameras off. And it was supposed to be just the girls, girls, girls, Relax, it's not that serious. Sorry, I'm sorry, don't know what. There's definitely

some footage out there. Nay, they turned the cameras off. You don't let that bitch talk to you like that. You what you just call them? Now? Listen, listen. You know more about the Bachelor, sir. But if you look on the jazz band, you can see video footage of and you know you're in a placement this. Can you have mics on? Come on? They cut the cameras off. The cameras supposed to be cut off. Supposed to be chatty horn. Ralph Lauren has launched a new clothing rental service,

and that's for Lauren Ralph Lauren. So it's kind of like rent the Runaway where you pay a monthly membership and then you can get unlimited swaps and complimentary shipping. So if you want to just rent some clothes, you have this monthly membership fee and then you can just pick whatever you want from these six hundred different pieces and then send it back get something new. And then once you use something like a few times, they retire it and they actually donate them to Delivering Good, which

is a nonprofit benefiting at risk families and children. I mean it's smart because you know, he know the screechs about to open back up this summer. You know, people, people money, a little lord, he might need to rent a little outfit to be out here in these streets for the summer. All right, Well that is your rumor report. All right, well let's get to the mix Revolt. We'll

see you tomorrow. Everybody else, let's go. I saw some video footage now they turned the cameras off and it was supposed to be rebody is j Envy, Angela Yee Charlowe the guy we all to Breakfast? Club is Women's History Month. With what we doing you? Well, today we are celebrating Clarissa Shields. You know she has an MMA fight coming up this summer, but tomorrow she will be fighting. She's been trying to get a fight for a while.

Like I said, she's ten and oh and she is the fastest boxer in history to win titles in three weight divisions. But for some reason, people weren't trying to show her fight. Well, now she's headlining in all women's pay per view on Fight TV and that's going to be tomorrow. It's called Superwoman because she was tired of waiting for people who are the powers that be in boxing to come around to her way of thinking. Here

is Clarissa Shields. Girls. It's Women's History Month, and we're celebrating the most influential women in his check out this phenomenal woman. When we're talking about the minute around, women boxing didn't put those rules down for us to fight two minutes. The men did that so and I feel like they did that to keep us at our pay wages to where we don't make as much of them

because we don't fight the same time. So what I'm saying is not that we're not worth the same thing, but we are willing to fight three minute rounds for twelve for twelve rounds to even the playing field to where when we say we want equal pay for also putting in an equal work. I just don't think that two minutes is enough. And that's where they look at the lack of women's boxing and say, oh yeah, like y're they're boxing, but they're not as great as than men,

and we are as great as than men. I know for a fact that I am. Women's boxing is on the forefront, you know, like we're not in the shadows anymore. We need to have our faith out there to where people can, like, like the young girls can see like we have things coming up. And that was another phenomenal woman in history. All right, but let's make sure we all purchased that pay per view tomorrow night and show some love and support for Clarissa Shields. At just twenty

five years old, she is already legendary. All right. Shout out to Clarissa Shields. Now when we come back, we got the positive notes. Don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning.
