Why are you so little, Cholomae? Because somebody was in here messing with my chair. That's why I thought nobody was allowed to be in this goddamn studio when we're not here. That was a lie. They changed that a long time ago, and I thought, what's the point of

having a lock on the door? Oh? Hold on, guess what day it is? Guess what day it is. These chairs aren't supposed to get any taller. I didn't know that. Get they get this short, though, Kevin hartbart Us, These chairs a long time ago, and he had him set to a certain height because he didn't want anybody to look taller than him when they sat at him. But I didn't know they could actually get lower. But whoever was in here yesterday definitely was messing with the chest.

Can you sit on a pillow or a book or something. No, I'm gonna sit right here. I did this on purpose because I want people to know that people be in this studio and we're not supposed to be in when they're not supposed to be in here. I don't think you're hurting anybody but yourself. Bro, look like maybe, But sometimes it's about the principle. Sometimes you don't. If you don't sit for something, you fall from anything. Is that what it is? Dope? But we'll rock with you a

Tell people to stay out this studio and stop messing with our chairs. Man, goodness, okay,

I didn't expect to come in here and this. It's like when you sit down, you know, when you sit down or something and you just notice, like this is not where I left it, you know what I mean, Like you could tell when somebody been in your stuff. And that's how I feel right now. Somebody meddling in our goddamn studio. Okay, it's okay, Well, that's right, meddling, all right. When you don't got no business, when you don't got no business being somewhere, it's trust passing and

it's meddling. Meddling, okay, all right, Well, don't worry about it. The president. That's something for you. If you need, oh, a little pick me up, He'll pick you up if you need a little a little crack pipey pipe, but you know, a little pick me up. I'm sure we'll talk about that in front page. You definitely got to talk about that in front page, dudes. All right. That's that's just part of that grant though. And also Dorian Renaud will be joining us. He's the founder of butter

butterskincare products. He was also on College Hill back in the day you and you could find butter products and Macy's and Lord and Taylor's sacks and there's so many different places. So we'll talk to uh Dorian Renow see how he got into the game and how he's doing so great with this butter product that he has. All right, all right, so front page news next? Are we talking about anything else besides the crack pipee? No, we are going to talk about this thirty million dollars grant program

from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. You get a crack pipe, and you get a crack pipe, and you get a crack pipe. That's not hey, hey, let's not simplify it like that. All right, Well, we'll find out about him when we come back. It's a breakfast lub Morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angel Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are to breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news, not a Brooklyn Nets. They have

the ninth straight laws him ninth. It was I think it's nine, sure, ye, nine, it's nine, all right, it's nine the Boston Celtics. That's nine. I think it's ten minutes. I think it's nine. I think it's laws man. Either way, they suck. Let me see who they played tomorrow and then I'll let you know if it's going to be team, if it's going to be Oh what else? Were guy? Easy?

All right? Well, there's been some information about this program that Joe Biden is trying to pass, the Harm Reduction Grant that's offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and authorized by the American Rescue Plan. It's a grant program that's designed to help Americans who are struggling with substance use stay healthy and safe, to prevent overdose death, and to find pathways into evidence based treatments.

Like all programs that use federal funding, these grants must adhere to relevant federal, state, and local laws or regulations. Now the headline, though, the big headline is that the that Biden is planning to fund a crack pipe distribution, a thirty million dollar crack pipe distribution and an effort

to reduce drug harm. And conservative legislators are outraged by recent reports that they're going to be giving away safer smoking kits and so what they're saying basically is that they're going to be distributing drug paraphernalia and that's what that money is going toward it. But it's a lot

more than just that. It's part of it though, I mean, the grant serves historically undeserved communities, right, that's the nice way to say black people, and the underserved community part comes from the Advanced Racial Equity funding And the grant description requires the provision of smoking kits. But though you know, those those kids do constitute just one of several things on a longer list for grant recipient. So, yes, why the focus is on the outrage of crack pipes, that's

just a small part of the program. Now, let me ask a question, because might sound stupid, how many people die from cracker year? Because crack is not one of those things that you hear people talk about. So how many people die from crack of year? Well, have you heard people? I don't know what your argument is, Well, should debate here practice why I don't think it's not just it's not. Well, then what they're saying is that

it's a lot safer to smoke than to inject. And so that's the reason for the pipes because people also get diseases from dirty needles, and so that spreads infectious diseases as well. So they're saying smoking is safer than injecting. You know, it was interesting to see people were outraged about this for a number of reasons yesterday. But it's crazy to see people outraged about you know this yesterday.

But when doctor Carl Hart was up here on the Breakfast Club a couple of years ago pushing the same thing, but you know, he was talking about heroin were just drugs in general, people were agreeing with him. But yesterday they was like, why would you try to make it safer for people to do drugs. I'm like, a couple of years ago, y'all was mad at me and NV

for pushing back on doctor car Hart for that. Now I'm just asking because so many people die from from opioids and fetinil and lace weed and lace cocaine and all less. I just wonder why the crack pipes right now? Well,

that's not all that, it is part of it. Yeah, yeah, that's it's a whole lot of different things, like facilities where you can test your drugs, places where you can get needles if you stuff Doctor Carhart was talking about same exact places where they can reverse medication and also you know, just safe for kids, uh disposal and medication

disposal kids, test kids, all kinds of Yeah. In the substance test kids, they have test scripts for finth and all and other synthetic drugs syringes to prevent control the spread of infectious diseases. Same stuff doctor car always talking about.

Literally and there's and there's. Stay said, already do this right now where things have been successful in other cities like San Francisco and Philadelphia, They've been also making efforts to establish these safe injection facilities, and they've seen other countries where people do it and it actually really does work, they said. Canada has the oldest safe injection site in North America. It's been in operations since two thousand and three.

And places can come there, test the quality. People can come there, test the quality of their drugs, get sterile injection equipment, inject their drugs under medical supervision because a lot of the reason that the people die is because

their drugs are contaminated and mixed. Yeah, I wish they would focus on, you know, getting people rehabilitation, you know, and well, they said, it's easier to identify people who have problems too, because then they come to those sites, and then you can also see who these addicts are and also help them get help. And research does show that it does significantly decrease overdoses and it does not

increase the amount of drug use. And if you guys recall, doctor Carl Hart did speak to asap YM's mother, and she wrote a whole essay about it. She said, to be clear, I recognized their parents, including me, should discourage drug use, but you should also know that my son wanted to get high, not die. And because this is the case for many young people, whether we like it or not, we should do all we can to keep

them safe and alive. It's the humane thing to do. Yeah, I agree with that, but I also agree that we should just try to keep them from not getting high, you know. And I wish they would focus on rehabilitation more and mental health services to help people get to the root of their trauma that you know, might be leading them to substance abuse, like you know, Definitely, I think I think that's part of it too, because then these addicts can come to places and also get help.

But like they said, it hasn't increased drug use. And they said once that place Insight open in Canada in two thousand and three, they have not experienced one overdose the entire time they've been in operation in Canada. Let's see how it plays though, And I remember this program has been around. It's not like this is something new. By the way, Yeah, some cities do this already countries.

It just sounds wild. And it's easy to attack Democrats on this because this is an administration that hasn't done anything for black people. So being there that hasn't done anything for black people, but it has the distribution of crack pipes under their advanced racial equity funding. That looks crazy, all right, that's just that's just terrible messaging. All right, Well, lad is front page News. Now get it off your chests.

Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent phone lines or wide open again, eight hundred five eight five one oh five one is to breakfast club. Go morning the breakfast Club. I'm telling I'm telling you this is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. Eight hundred five eight five one five one. We want to hear from you on the breakfast club. Hello, who's this South Carolina? What's going on? Man? Listen this this grant this bill. Man.

I've got I've got two uncles that are hooked on drugs, and we've tried everything. They've been to rehab, they've done everything. And if they want to smoke, they're gonna smoke. If they're gonna want to did, if they want to get high, they're gonna get high. To stop all of this, take that money is putting somewhere that they's needed and letting that to a selection take its place. So you don't think they should have testing spots and things like that.

Put the money towards that. Nah, if they're gonna get gonna get high. But the whole, the whole idea was to make sure they were trying to help them get off of it. Right. They're not gonna get off until they're ready to get off. And when they're ready to get off, then they'll get off by either going to rehab themselves or get stopped. Right. So, I've got I've got an uncle that's been I can't for twenty plus years, So I'm not gonna stop until he ready to stop.

So basically, Josh, you're saying you don't want your tax being dollars going to towards funds like this is what you're saying. Definitely not, not when when my wife is trying to start the daycare and we are having so many problems just trying to get into a building, get a loan, whatever, you know what I mean, to try to get something started. It's gonna help the community. We're gonna give stuff to this. Totally understand, I totally understand,

totally understand. You're a tax fan citizen. You have the right to express that opinion. Hello, who's this because Ryan Hacking suck? What's good? Whatever? Ryan from the sack? Ye stir your stir, Yo. She just wanted to get something off my chest or heard what you were talking about with the funded with the drugs and the rehab from Ye were messing me up though. It was why they have a sally legalized marijuana. YEA very true. That was one of the campaign promises that hadn't been fulfilled. We're

not He always said he wanted to decriminalize that. He never said he wanted to legalize it. Ye. That that doesn't even make any sense because you actually have it for medical purpose and everybody's smoking and anybody. So I agree, I agree with you legalizing, but they also got to help help minorities get some of these licenses. I mean, they did a story yesterday that said New Jersey has a licensed any black owners since rigalized marijuana, and they

put and it's very difficult to get licensed money. It seems like they always trying to stop minorities from blue you already. No, No, it's very difficult. Um. But you know, and then if they allow it, then you have to have the liquid, you know, to do it, and so it's it's very difficult to Look. That's that's the wild thing to me, because you know what, you can literally get a bunch of us together and make that happen,

and now you got that generational wealth. Yeah, but the problem is they got you gotta get the licensed Yeah, ye, sir, I'm on the Amazon. The Amazon platform is called Angels, rod, just and justice, two things you can't escape from, Okay, brother.

I also think they don't want to legalize marijuana federally, man, because you know how many people you would have to let out of jail, because that would be the next thing, right, like there's no way you could legalize marijuana all throughout the country and have people still doing licenses for marijuana. That would just be that's just cruel and unusual punishment. Yeah, no, absolutely, And I would tell people that if you're interested in

getting a license, definitely look into it. Now, fill out the application. There's things that you have to do. If you're a minority woman, there's there's granted in situations for you, So definitely look into it. No matter what state you at. They a lot of them have cultivating licenses, a lot of them have dispensary licenses. Fill them both out, Like, go to the site, fill them out, let them tell you know, I mean you never know, you might be

able to get passed. And like the brother just called and says, may can get together with a couple of other sisters and brothers and put your funds together. But we have to start owning. It's the crazy part is is you know we talk about all this weed and brothers and sisters have been locked up, but not too many of us own licenses. And we have to change that.

So please, I beg you go to your your local who sites, look it up, see what information you need and if you are have been arrested for weed or you went to jail for weed, you have a better shot than a lot of other people. So don't think that you don't. You have a better shot. So please look it out as you see. I've been, you know, doing my homework, and I got a couple of plays in the working. But please look it up, all right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five

Yes, And let's talk about Julia Fox, Kanye's girlfriend. She's talking about foursomes. All right, we'll get into it next. It's the breakfast club, go more, the breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk

Kanye West. It's about Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right, Well Kanye West, a y'a all ready? And do you think Donna two is really going to be coming out in just a couple of weeks? Well, it looks like he's had some festivities surrounding this. They're saying that there was a listening party that just took place, and that happened earlier this week. So they said it was at Nobu and Malibu, and Travis Scott was amongst the people that actually attended. They said, Offset French Montana

stopped by as well. And so perhaps this is really going to come out on time. But do y'all think if you were a betting person, what would you say? What I would say is push your t album, Push your Terrent, push your t That's what I want. He's gonna come out on to two. That's what I'm looking forward to. Push your Terrence. Little Dirk's albums coming out that day too, out the Dirt. Yeah, So the Dirk said his album's coming out the same Day. So let's

get it all right now. Kanye also recently gave a speech about the power of the Black dollar, and he you know, he's doing this whole Black Future Month, and so they said it was given in the same space that his Sunday Service choir has been frequenting in the recent months, and he said America has made to enslave us what they ever gave us. We'd improve. We're gonna showed. It's documented now, it's cemented Black Future, It's time to invent it. If ye said it, you know that he

meant it. There's no more Black History Month every February, reminding us that we can just barely vote. You shouldn't have to be a tech genius, a basketball guide, a musical wizard to be able to hold down your family. And so yes, it's Black Future Month for time slavery. He talking about slavery, slavery or the one he said was a choice? Which one? Which one? Is he talking about it? I just want to make sure I'm clear. And then he's talking about Black history. He said, who

wrote that history for us? They beat down ideas that will keep you enslaved mentally, they target to they put you in that box to control your mind and to make you fearful. I just don't have no fear left in me. All I got is in love. And he said out forty four million dollars, it's worth one point eight trillion. That means the black dollar is neck and neck with the biggest company in the world, which is Apple, and more focused, the Black dollar will be the biggest

company in the world. Why don't we act like our ancestors just laid down and took whatever they was given. That's just not true. That's just historically inaccurate. There's plenty of stories, historical stories about slaves, enslaved fighting back. I don't understand why we pushed that narrative. Then he also said that the Yeasy brand is the only one percent

black owned brand that is cultural. Huh. In the speech, so it was a full six minutes if you want to try to find the whole thing from Haiti and that turn at the Denmark VC like the enslaved whatever. Okay, okay, all right, all right. In the meantime, he is dating Julia Fox and so she was on the call her daddy. She's a white woman. She is a white woman. I'm to make sure I'm not sure is she a white woman. I'm not gonna It's been the worth Black History Month in a long time. Bro's not has not been a

good black We got crackpipes. I mean, god damn bro al right now. According to a new report, they are in an open relationship and she does like to do swapping and all those types of things. What you had to say, they need to know that they will never be worthy to have that, like the They'll never be good enough for the torture room because might be I could smother them, maybe sit on their face like with my panties, but they'll never ever be good enough for

my vagina. I am into like weirdly, like like partner like swapping, and then like watching or something thing to look forsoms. Yeah, why that music? But there's a trailer for the episode. Yes, yeah, I call her daddy. Hey, we'll call it daddy big. So she said smothering and what else? So she been swapping. She didn't mean swapping a spit, She meant swapping partners. Why do y'all care? Yeah? Wow, So there you have it. And then, as far as

concerns about Kanye winning, Kim Kardashian back. She said that she there's still some residual feelings, and that's normal, it's human. She said, I also know that he's with me now, and that's all that matters. He with somebody else, all right the other day? What are you talking? Yeah, I guess they have an open relationship. Well, if they like it, we love it. Not really, I don't care. But damn about it. Well that is your rumor reports. It's a

lot going on. Not really. I'm sitting here lightening my polystide to enjoying life. Life is good. You get a lighter now. We got front page news that we're talking about. Yes, let's talk about this alleged four point five billion dollar cryptocurrency laundering scheme. A couple was arrested in Manhattan for this. No boy, all right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, So Breakfast Club, Your mornings

will never be the same. The General Insurance a quality insurance company that has been saving people money for nearly sixty years. Whatever y'all is DJ envy and you should take a closer look at the General called eight under General, or visit the General dot com. The General Auto Insurance Services, Inc. And insurance Agency, Nashville, Tennessee. Some restrictions apply. Good morning, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we

are the breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get into front page news. Now, the Boston Celtics beat the Nets last night one twenty six to ninety one. That's their ninth straight loss. But their three starters are out. They play the Wizards on Thursday, so they have nine straight losses. Now, what else we got? All right, well, let's talk about this four point five billion dollar cryptocurrency laundering scheme. A couple was a rest of a married couple, and this

was yesterday in Manhattan. They were allegedly trying to launder that cryptocurrency that they stole during a massive twenty sixteen a hack. So that is Ilya Lichtenstein and his rapper wife, Heather Morgan. They were accused of conspiring to wash the proceeds of that bitcoin that was looted when a hacker breached the systems of virtual currency exchange bit fine x. So they transferred this to a digital wallet allegedly, and then they moved the funds to their account, all different

kinds of things. They moved the funds to their accounts with a complicated money laundering process. They spent the legal proceeds on things like gold NFTs, and they bought a five hundred dollar Walmart gift card. So I'm confused. What are they What were they doing wrong? I don't I don't know. I'm just just asking. They stole the money. They stole the cryptocurrency during a breach. It was hacked, wasn't their money? I thought everybody was sealing current cryptocurrency?

All right, go ahead, continue on, you said, everybody steals. It seems like it's all a scam. To me, it's just me they honestly, but go ahead? What all right? Well, yes, so the two of them have been arrested and the first person conspiring I don't know, a scam, No, I mean, I've heard people say that. I mean, but people feel like, you know, it's just like anything else, just like you invest a little bit in it and see what, see which one is gonna stay in the test of time.

But there have there have been bitcoin. Uh, there's a lot of people that that they just create coins and they create a hype and then people invest in it, and then they take their money out and then people that take their money out first winning. The people that have their money in the last lose. I'm I'm not gonna say the whole, but that's why that's that's cryptocurrency, not bitcoin poin. So you're saying people create their own type of cryptocurrency because you can't create your own big

all right. Now, Peloton has offered employees who got laid off, and a lot of those employees didn't find out that they were laid off until they saw a memo, until they saw a news report about it, and then they went to go check because twenty percent of the staff was laid off, and they offered them twelve months of free exercise classes with Peloton. Can you imagine getting those classes?

Do costs forty dollars a month? All right, But they did get cash Severn's payments as well, extended healthcare coverage and some help finding new jobs. But they did cut out twenty percent of the corporate workforce, and people were freaking out wondering if they were on the layoff list once they read about the reports in the news. So they'll still be able to take their classes from their

favorite Peloton instruct instructors. Fortunately, another thing that they were upset about was the CEO because he recently just bought a mansion, and so you know, things like that happened, and people are like, Okay, you just spent fifty five million dollars on a mansion in the hands in December, and then we're all getting laid off. But I guess your money, you can do what you want with it, right, I will see why people will be upset just a little bit. Yeah, all right, well that is your front

page news. Does anybody in there have a peloton? I want to get one. I've been hearing so many great things about the peloton. You know, I ride outside, but I would love to ride inside. I have a Nordic track bike. I hate you many, all right, all right, when we come back, the founder of Butterskin Care Products will be joining us, Dorian Renald, so we'll talk to him when we come back. So don't move. It's to

Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning. Everybody is j Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Donald here telling us behind the scenes that he met ye in a club and got checked out. Well, now. We were in Vegas for the Michael Jackson Show sixty birthday party. Yeah, but she was performing and we were outside like a little after party that was very exclusive.

I remember Angela. I got kicked out in front of Angela Bassett and she gave me like the face like wow, they didn't give you a chance likely put it out. No, they came with security. I was smoking weed and they put me out because you know, in Vegas you can't smoke on the property. On the property, they escorted me to the street, which is crazy because weed is legal in Vegas. Any story, Vible, I know, there's like a

huge place. This was years ago, though, and they like flew everybody, especially for Michael Jackson's thing and Usher performed. I got kicked out in the middle of his performance. Man, it was embarrassing. Damn it. Man, you're a black man with your own skincare business during Black History Month and needs too. Yes, start off top man, Just weed. I live in California and it helps me and you know helps me with my business too. But that was how we met. Though. It's true, it was fun. It's fun.

I don't hire that fifteen minutes and I know, but with each other. Yeah, so let's talk about butter. Yeah, let's talk about and you're the founder of it. So

how did this come to the forition? Man? So, I mean I always had like some problematic skin, dark spots, hyper pigmentation, all of that, and then, um, you know, get in front of the camera so young, and it would put makeup on, take it off, and then I was like super insecure, you know, spending money I didn't have when I first moved to la on all these procedures. And then I would go into department stores and I really couldn't find anything that was like four hour skin,

you know. And I didn't know that we needed certain ingredients and sunscreens and things like that. And so I went on a limb, i should say, and uh started it. And I was just hoping to sell a little bit. And now we are like the number one black skincare company in the world. And I mean three and a half years later, I can't believe it still. You say you just created it. How did you create it? When you had home mixing stuff that come about? I was

modeling Instagram, modeling for a line overseas. I was getting into all my celebrity friends and I asked him, I said, can we do a collab? And you know, because my name wasn't on it, they were posting it and they said, no, we're not making any money off of you. So the manufacture of them hit me up and they said, I want to meet with you. And I said, what people said, I wasn't making any money with them. He goes, I actually want to meet with you because you were making

them a lot of money. Wow, I'm bringing it in. And I had kind of been hosting parties at like skincare events and giving away free stuff, and I started with him my business partner, and five months later, man,

but it was here. I was in the lab in the middle of Florida with the chemists working on formulas and really like being in college while kind of doing a job, launching it and learning at the same time studying and coming here to New York and setting up booths at conventions and going to Vegas and setting up conventions and boot I'd already been on television, so I just was set up a TV screen of like all

the stuff I did. And then yeah, I was the only black person and most of them conventions when they came over and I got asia sin first and in a pandemic. I mean that everybody was to everybody. Just think about that. If that company would have been hating, they would have actually did that partnership for and made some money if they weren't to lie to you. That's actually been beneficial. Yeah, you ended up getting a better situation,

Absolutely away better situation. A lot of men don't take care of their skin the way that women do, Like I use specific products and for myself, like even with my boyfriend, I have to get him products, Tell him

use this, tell him use that, because they'll just use soap. Yeah, you can't wash your face with the saying heyy wash you you know your ass with And I really was the reason why I really started was because brothers was hitting me in my DMS like man, your skin looks good, and they were like embarrassed, and I'm like, what's up with this? Like demasculating energy when it comes down to take care of your skin in and takeing care of yourself.

You know what I'm saying is so that really inspired me to do it, And especially with the packaging, it's unisex is for everybody, and our shave butter comes directly from Ghana, Africa, and I got the routine just by modeling in New York using a gentle cleanser somebody to see saramon. I couldn't afford in some shape butter off the streets of Harlem, and I would melt it down and put it on my face and it cleared my skin up and served I was like, what are you doing?

And so yeah, I found a space in beauty. And I never thought I'd be in beauty because you don't think of a black man when you get into that business is a lot and I didn't. I wasn't welcomed then the best because of that through with some people, some editors and things like that. And I'm not an esthetician and so they were like, so you don't have expertise. I'm like, look, I'm a skincare lover, not an expert. I just want to give people what we need and

what we need for our skin. I mean, that's been a struggle. So you didn't do anything else because you know, I used to have really bad hyperpigmentation, skin discoloration and stuff. But you know, I got a dermatologist named Bocked in the top saying, and she has products, but I did the chemical pills and me too, you know, the lasertion. What I was doing micro demibration in the backuver Neil salon in high school to get spots off my face because it was the only place I'm from, Bomar, Texas.

It was a small city. It was the only place I'm looking up online. I found micro demibration. I tried micro needling, um, the vampire facial, all of that. But man, yeah, and I'm scared of paint. Wasn't that bad? It was, you know, I let them talk me into it. But I mean it was trying to really achieve, you know, like I guess perfection. I started acting, started hosting for Extra and so you know, I saw Mario Lopez. He

was good. He get my teeth done. You know, you start seeing yourself differently, man, And then I realized, like, I just want people to feel confident about that skin. You know, you got a pimple, you got something to blemish you. It messes up your day sometimes, you know, it can it can alter how you feel about yourself. So in diet and diet, plenty plenty of water, hy hydraten and you have the tea tree oil tea tree scrub. Yes,

I love that. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So you said vitamin C. It's really important for vitamin see, it's great's for brightening, it's for hydraten you know, it's for getting all of those antioxidants. It protects your skin works with the sun. That's great. And like, I feel like black people didn't really know about serums as much. I mean, maybe you do, because you know, we dealt with trying to get our skin right, so we go

to dermatologists to tell you to try these things. But I wanted to give them something simple that they could go to the counter of a store. I mean, I didn't know we'd be in Macy's and Bloomingdal's and stuff when I first started. But I wanted to be simple, easy, efficient and affordable. How difficult wasn't to get into those stores. Well, I mean, let's let's let's be honest about that whole

taking Black products team. If you're gonna pledge a percentage of your shelf life, just know that's gonna cost a lot of money to go into those stores, you know what I'm saying. So if you don't have the funding to go into those stores, then you face a problem because we have a problem getting money sometimes. Right as far as as butter Win, it wasn't easy. I'm a man, I was thirty at the time. They were like, what do you know about skincare? So I had to prove myself.

I was also an actor and on television, so I had to dive into a new space and get rejected a lot. But I kept hustling. Grinding the community is really what pumped it, you know. And then when the pandemic hit, that's when everybody really wanted to take care of their skin because we were able to get them products and other people couldn't. I think that definitely helped. And I mean it's good. Yeah, let's talk about because also co signed butter So how did that change things? Man?

She changed it for me. You know, I've been fortunate enough to know her and her family for years. I'm from Texas, and you know, she posted it at a time when I was fighting for my company. We me in her post, did you did you know them? Did you ask him to post? So she organically support it and then they put an article out. Yeah, but she was pray to God. Yeah, she came at the right time. And then they put a separate article out of in Style. I didn't even know about it, and you know, nothing

goes by dealing without you know, without knowing. So I just thought it was dope that she would co signed my brand before anybody else. She don't do that. That was a blessing. And you know it's crazy, I said, I saw that. They said, the searches went up for it, like thirteen. Yes, you're gonna now have the right Beyonce a check because you know, like they did, she did all right. We got more with Dorian Renew when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning Morning. Everybody's

DJ Envy and Ngela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Dorian Renew. Charlomagne and you gotta you gotta partnership with a Carrie Champions, Brown Girls Dream or r. Yeah. We worked with Carry recently, love her interviewer for our new show Beyond the Surface,

and we donated to her charity work for her. We worked with a lot of different charities to give back, and you know we have butter Cares and so we do all we can, man, I mean, you know that's important. Got to teach the young black men at a certain age to groom yourself. And you want to start early. You don't want to wait till your skin is a problem to fix it. It's preventive too. I mean, you know, the more you do right now, the more you stay

looking like you are. I think a lot of people don't even know it's a problem though, Yeah, you know what I mean, Like you can have skin discoloration, hyper pigmentation, and I think that's just normal. Yeah, because I mean Uncle's got dark tony face, you know, and we think that that's normal. Yeah, ingrown hairs. We got something coming for that too. That's incredible. And you know, for a while, I guess we just felt like this was what was dealt to us. This is the skin that was dealt

to us. And so that's what I really want to do it better. And I think that we're doing a good job. We listen to people and we create products that they ask for and really that I need. I mean, I feel up my bathroom first, and that's how I started with the products, and I start asking everybody else what they need for their skins. So I'm happy that it's really been working. The reviews or crazy. I love

the products. I use them already, so churtll masks, Yeah you have, and I like that because it's also easy to travel with. Yeah, yeah, thank you. I heard of College Hill is coming back parted the reboot. I ain't got a call yet. Still time, oh Tracy. Yeah yeah, and listen, you know what, I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't. I don't even know if I would even go back that route. Because I was nineteen years old, I was put in a situation, uh that I probably

didn't really want to be in at that time. I flunked out of school. To be honest, I swear I've never told nobody this. I did College Hill, and because of the production schedule, I flunked out of school. And when I went to school, I was made a mockery with the cameras and so that was kind of hard to deal with. And then the schools weren't really happy

with us doing that show. You know, they asked us not to say, uh the names of the school on the show, and so it put me in a weird place when I finished doing the show, because I went back to the school and they're all, like, we told you not to do that show. They fight on that show, and you know, I was told it there was gonna be something totally different than when I watched it. I was like, and so now that they're rebooting it, you know,

you don't want to watch yourself twoelvery years ago. You know that they don't want to rerun the old stuff, right, And even though I like to look at some parts, it's nostalgic for me. I just feel like the show don't really stand the test of time as far as some of the stuff that was going on on there. You know, I was nineteen. You've heal. I'm sure you've heal. You've healed from a lot of that trauma them, right, Yeah, man, I mean come on, like, you know, as you grow

through life, you heal. But I mean that was my mental health took could be hit after that. Absolutely, you do a show nineteen years old, you know, and then flunking out, flunking out, you know, you could real trigger a lot of things for you. And so I often was ashamed of it. So I went from going from dooran Stanbury to during renaud which is my first in middle name, because I will audition. They'd be like, oh, here come to do from College Hill again. But you know,

I love them for what they did for me. I loved going to Clark Hillanta University. I was amazing. But if I when I look back at the at my age, you know, and contracts and some of those things, I would have done it differently. And so I think reality TV just changed so much back then. They can get you to just yeah, yeah, I'm not telling you nothing that your therapist hasn't told you. But you got to

give every part of your life grace. You got to give every version of yourself absolutely grace, like you were doing the best you could with what you had at ninteen. Like absolutely, you can't. It's easy to go back after you got your thirty something years older, like shoot this when I was nineteen, you didn't have the knowledge I did. I did. I give youself grace. Man. I do give myself grace, especially for that era. I mean, you know, looking back as a young man, I'm looking back like, oh, man,

you didn't know. But but I say this, you know, contracts, you still gotta teach young people about what they getting themselves into. So I give myself grace for that actions. But you know, as far as business side of things went. After that, it was kind of difficult for me to rebuild, but it helped me learn a lot about the industry at an early age. Man, I was learning a lot,

you know, and it gave me exposure. So even though some of it was big when it comes on now no contracts, No, I didn't really get paid when it came on in Really, how much did they pays or do you I got paid one hundred and fifty dollars a week. Whoa goodness, god, damn BT you only got one hundred and fifty dollars and then they had you working on a production schedule that was crazy. They said, Yo, I remember, I remember being held out of school so we would argue on purpose so we can go to school.

Because one of the producers said to me, he feeling on a TV show. This is a job. You know, you're not at school. And I said, well, why am I not getting paid for a job. I mean, we can't have our phones, we couldn't have our credit cards, nothing like. They almost stripped just from our identity and so we could, you know, be in the house and argue with each other. And they took us to London, for two weeks. That's when I funked out. I was like London or school. I did pick London, so that

was that was on me. Um. But yeah, I mean it was a prod. It was a reality show. You know what I'm saying that I have no regard for these students and them actually being able to do their work in graduate from school and get compensated that well. I was pretty much like me and this other chick was like the only two people like in school, like like full time students, right, Okay, so everybody else was

either taking classes, class or whatever. Yeah. I mean when I got in the house, I was like school, y'all go to you know what? I'm seeing you around? And then I realized I was like, okay, this is a show. Uh, And I mean listen. I loved I loved working with some of the producers. Tiffany Lee Williams people like her made it great for me, and they've looked out for me after college Hill. But I would and expecting nothing after that, you know. So I actually wanted to be

on making a band. I was supposed to be on that, and the casting director here I was like, I got something better for you to have a different thing, and I was like, oh man, I was trying to sing, and I remember seeing them making the band dudes and like rip the runway and stuff. I was like, damn it, damn did that. But now I'm glad I did this. You know what I'm saying because so many people tell me they went to HBCUs after seeing that show, and now that they're rebooting it, you know, I'm sure more

people will be going. In the importance of HBCUs. It's great. You know, even though I didn't graduate, I still consider myself, you know, an alumni Clark Atlanta because it was really about the networking, you know, And but I think about going back and getting your degree, No, especially after I

just paid them student loans. I was like, to be honest, like, I got a degree in life, and you know, you know what, maybe you got me thinking maybe that would be something cool to do, you know, just just because I feel like my college experience was kind of ripped away from me after I did that. Because you ain't gonna go to land and it lived in You could also take your time, you know, you do know how to do it like full time. But then here's the deal.

I don't really care, Like I don't care to graduate real talk, Like let's normalize that too, because I went to school and made great connections, but dead ass, like I don't need a degree, you know, like I have a career on my own. But I encourage people that want to go to college that they need to do something for college. Like I took broadcasting class all of

that stuff. But y'all know that y'all learned what y'all do in turning and really being here, and so I learned, you know, kind of like moving to LA at twenty and really learning about the industry. You should take a couple of years off before you go to college and reason being, you know, I graduated from Hampton, But I think about it now. There's so many class like I went to school to pass yea too, and that's the problem now I'm thinking about like, damn, I should have

took that class. Seriously. Yeah, these are things I should have took. Seriously. I wish I'd took a time off to figure myself out and then go back to school and figure it out. Yeah, I'm glad I went right away because I don't think I would have went if I didn't, because you get caught up in life and then you'd be like, yeah, I didn't go to I didn't go to college. Yeah, I mean, listen, I went to school in Atlanta, so it was like college, but

I mean it was concerts on campus. You know. I was feeling a reality show while I was at school. Everybody was trying to be a senior being an entertainment industry. So I think we all just went to Atlanta to go to Clark just to be in the space of other creatives. So that's what I loved about being at Clark.

I do wonder how much where the where the exception and not the rule though, Like I don't know what the status are for people who you know, went to college and end up having the career of their dreams, to oppose it those who don't. I don't know. Yeah, I mean I always wanted to be an entertainer, but I quit because I was failing number one. But I felt like if I had gotten my degree, my dad was gonna make me get a job out of college, so I wanted to just take a risk on myself.

And so yeah, quick school and parents, well, I ain't tell them right away. I had a scholarship too, track scholarship and uh my dad was like, with you on for Christmas Sun. I was like, I want you to ship my car to LA. He was like for what. I was like, Yeah, I moved last month during Thanksgiving break. I was hosting parties on a weekend from college hill right, saved us some money and then moved to LA And

it was no Instagram, no nothing. So I had to hit the ground running, get an agent, you know, the hustle, like the real, real hustle of being there and moving there twelve years ago. So yeah, but I had a lot of friends in the industry. When I got to LA, I realized that the other young famous people are those those entertainment kids. They thought I was somebody, and so I linked up with them, learned what I could learn,

and you know, worked my way up. All right, well, Dorian, we appreciate you for joining us, and thank you for the package. You said this problem, thank you, thank you. Oh yeah, man, all right, well it's during Renard, the founder of butter and it's the breakfast local morning. Shut up. That's what you should just do, all right morning a week and I taught you that that it's okay to just shut up. Sometimes envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy

we are the breakfast club good, ain't saluted Dorian. Dorian does have amazing skin. So if you use butter products out there, you know that, Like I told him, you're you're your own best billboard. Right, you're flirting a little bit. I was not shut up. It's testing the water giving the man. First of all, I love skin. You know, I'm a skin guy. Dropped on a clue bomb for doctor Natasha Sandy. Okay, my dermatologists, all right. I am a chemical peel laser type of guy. Right. I use

products every morning. I exfoliate, Okay, okay, But I do encourage people who just wash their face with soap. Don't do that. Use things that are specifically for your skin. And you gotta start those habits asap. If you don't do it, yeah, you can get but you can get products like butter. But you know you can go get nutrogena. Nutrogena is a good one, you know what I mean? Um, I use Doctor Sandy's exfoliating uh cream. There's a couple.

You use what's best for your skin. Everybody's skin is different, everybody's how you got it, And sometimes you gotta try different things to see what works. When you got all the Beijing on your face, right, Like, what do you I don't I don't have beijing. Just listen, don't need to lie. I don't have anything, did you stop? I

don't have any black history mouth. When you have the Beijing on your face, when you put the exfoliating stuff on it and like scrub it off and then you gotta like die it back, Like how does that work well for people that do use die they don't use beijing. Well, I don't know who uses beijing, but it doesn't matter. It just from it grows out. But anyway, I used see to fill to wash my face. That's what I stop.

When you put that's a good gentle, gentle cleanser. So when you put the set of fil on your face, do you put the die on first? Or do you wash your face then put the die on. That's I'm trying to figure out. Like when you just all I'm trying to figure out. Uh, Well, I don't know what die or who you've been talking to, but when you wash your face, nothing comes off because it's not Beijing. Well, whoever Envy's painter is to to you? The last painter

he had was doing a terrible job. This painter, you know, he's he's blending it in right with your faces, saying the painter you got now I was way better than the painting you had before. Yeah, hater, bro, you should recommend him. Is that the same person? What he doesn't him? He couldn't be using the same person the paint houses when he's renovating houses. The painter is bid, But I

like the new paint is good. Now, you know. If that was the case, boy, I would I would open up a shop and my paint is to be painting everybody's face. But that's not the case. We don't know if that We don't know if that's the case. Give. I was gonna say, we give your dog. We got rumors coming up, Yes, and let's talk more. Joe Rogan controversy India. Iria is saying she does not think that

Joe Rogan is racist. She explains her reasons on Good Morning America for taking her podcast and her music off of Spotify. All right, we'll get to a nextus to Breakfast Love Go Morning. This is the rumor Report with Angela g on the Breakfast Club. Well India Ire is one person who has taken her music and her podcast off of Spotify, and she had some things to say about Joe Rogan. I think I thought it was very thoughtful on the things that she had to say. Now, first,

she weighed in on Joe Rogan's apology. I think he did well with his apology. I also found some of it disingenuous because everyone on the planet knows that that word is loaded, and that that's why most people say the N word when referring to the word. You can be edgy, you can be a comedian, you can push the envelope, but also you must deal with the consequences of the language. But he's not being canceled, censored, and

I have not called him racist. What I'm sitting with here is that I think he didn't see it as racist. So she's not fair enough. Yeah, she's saying that she never used that word. Here's more on what she said about calling Joe Wylgan a racist. I never called him a racist. What I did in the curation of my space is say I don't like this here, I don't want to be here. Anyone who saw those videos and decided for themselves if he was racist or not, that's

their perception. She also went on to say that she does not believe in cancel culture. I don't believe in cancel culture. What I know is that people garner love or hate based on how they act. And the reason why I don't believe in cancel culture is because no one is universally loved or hated. Jordan can leave Spotify today and someone else will want him. No one. You can't cancel. You can't actually cancel someone. You can curate a space. So again, this is not about cancel culture.

It's about curation. Dropping a Cluses Bob van Diri, I knew with her one hundred percent. I don't believe in censorship. Well, she also talks about censorship specifically. Here's what she had to say. The writer Roxanne bought something to light for me that I want to make sure that I express people who are talking about censorship and censoring of him. Censorship is being at the threat of loss of life or freedom for your words. No one's being censored here,

she said. This is not censorship. This is about curation, and so Spotify is making the choice about the space they choose to curate. I and other creators are making choices about the space we want to curate. I don't believe in censorship. No one's being censored here dropping in clues mouns for Indiri and rock san Gate, I agree with. I hope this makes her numbers go up for her podcast because I enjoyed listening to what she had to say. Well,

I don't believe in censorship. I believe in curation, like she said, And yes, we can all curate what it is we listen to. If you don't like Rogan, if you think he's racist, don't listen anymore. And that goes for anything you don't like, because when you make all this noise about something, I always wonder what's the end game? That's what I've been wondering all week, what's the what's the end game? Like? What do people want when things

like this happen? Because you do know if you hillat Rogue, and I'm sure he's down to do whatever to correct this this situation right right, And people are saying I don't want my I don't want to be on this platform, like she said, and she doesn't want to if she can make that choice, and you know she's curated her own space. I have other platforms I can be on, and that's not one of better decisions. She could feel how she wants to feel music, she could pull the music.

You're absolutely right, and I agree with that. We should all curate, you know, our own spaces. But I do feel like it's like, you know, it's like why why cut your nose off to spite your face? Like you should be heard on that platform as well. That's why Spotify, I said, Yes, it's the biggest platform when it comes to music downloading the streament correct, Yes, and she got

a podcast too. So it's just like, y'all, don't let people run you out of those spaces, because those spaces are not just for one person, you know what I mean. You want a bunch of different, diverse voices, you know, with different ideologies on these platforms. It should be something for everybody. Well, it feels like she had some other issues with Spotify as well, because I don't think it just the money. She did express that too. There's a lot of different things that she didn't like, and so

because of that she made her choice. And maybe for her it's not She wanted to take a stand, and she says she's been having these issues and it felt like she couldn't stay quiet anymore. That's the best thing about owning your music, right, you can pull it when you don't feel comfortable, and she pulled it stiff bag for her podcast podcast right. Joe Rogan has addressed the situation in Tuesday's episode of his podcast, which by the way,

it's exclusively distributed by Spotify. And here is what he said while he had a casting up there with him. You know, in a lot of ways, like all this is a relief because it's like just because that that video had always been out there, right, it's like this is a political hit job, and so they're taking all this stuff that I've ever said that's wrong and smushing all together. Right. It's good because it makes me address

something that I really wish wasn't out there. And you know why, I'm proud of you because I I think comedians have for years done this immature thing where it's like we don't apologize, We say whatever we want. You can apologize if you say something wilsh and we've all said some wild and you apologize and own that's wrong, good for you. You should apologize if you regret something that annoying voice you here is a cost sing dropping a clues bombs world, costing that annoying voice that I

know made ja skin crowd. That was a cost sing salut a cost though. Wow, okay, but that is your right. I mean it clearly was some type of hit job. When someone puts all those clips together like that in that way, with no context and releases them to the internet like that, it's definitely a hit job. Might be political. You know, folks don't like some of the people Rogan has on this show, so it could be a hit job. But you know, I would suggest, how about more folks

from the left start going on rogan show. It's not like he wouldn't have you. But what's happened is they've made him radioactive to the left. So people don't go on the show because they are scared of what folks are going to say about, you know, them being on there. But if you want to give another side to the argument, going to show and give the other side to the argument, they do that with us here. They'd be like, oh, y'all, don't never have any conservatives on, y'a don't never have

anybody from the right on. They don't have to come on am, I lying no, And then when they do they come, yo, why you take everything? Everything's not a joke? But say nothing, sir. I'm just over mind, ma'am. I'm just over minding my business, all right. Don't forget to ask eight hundred five eight five one on five one. It's coming up after the donkey, and who are you giving a donkey too? Man? Like you tell you like, everything can't be a a joke. Man, Everything just can't

be a joke. Yes they can. That's how I navigate my life. No right, okay' be in therapy laughing, laughing to keep from crying. You know who's getting donkey to day to day lodge Hulu play. I don't think I'm pronouncing it right, but it's a bar in Las Vegas and they need to come to the front of the congregation. You would like to have a word with them, okay, all right, all right? And then after that, of course, it's asking eight hundred five five one oh five when

I do my job, and I believe I do it well, and I hope you all do too. Okay. I hope you come into your place of employment and give all that you feel you need to give. Okay, listen to what I just said. I hope you go into your place of employment and give all that you feel you need to give. What I mean by that is when you feel like you're doing too much and it's not being reciprocated, ask for more, or leave and go somewhere um where, when you know where, where what you bring

to the table is appreciated and compensated properly. What I mean by give all that you feel, okay you need to give it a job is when you feel like you've given too much mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Take a break, all right, take a break. Self care is very important, and none of these places of employment or worth for your mental, emotional, in spiritual health. That's why boundaries are so important. You have to have boundaries with your job,

and your employers should respect said boundaries. That's why I love all these companies that are practiced in mindfulness now and giving employees mental health days and things like that. Drop on a clues bombs. For all the organizations and institutions that have implemented mindfulness in the workplace, you are appreciated. But I'm saying all that to say to all employees, under no circumstances, should you die for your job, okay, because your job ain't dying for you. Nope, nope, nope.

I promise your job ain't dying for you, all right, So you shouldn't die for your job when I hear these stories of folks getting robbed at gas stations, convenience stores, sex shops, unless you own the place and you're fighting for your establishment, letting people go when you get robbed, all right, Thank odd you lived to call the police like a normal person and keep it moving, okay, please, because we want you to live to work another day.

And that's exactly what Edward Parker did. See Edward Parker was working at the hit. The name of the place, lad Walla Pike, yeah. On December four of twenty twenty, all right, jay Z's born day and the day PIMC transition. God bless both of those brothers and their families. Edward Parker was working at that place, minding his business, making a decent living, and somebody came in to stick the

place up. Yes, the gunmen came in and told Edward, de nail on the ground, put your hands behind your head, put your left leg in, put your left leg out, put your left leg in, and shake it all about all right, clearly as most folks would. Edward was terrified, damn ned pooped on itself during this ordeal. And the stick up kid got away with approximately three thousand, nine hundred thirty seven dollars and thirty five cents. Thank god, Edward was alive and nobody got hurt. Now, what would

you expect your employer to do in this situation like that? Okay, bosses at the lodge hit the name of the place, right, walla pie? Yes, there you go. What would you expect those people at lodge hallo pie law ed wallapie? Yeah, what would you expect him to do? Okay? What? Never mind what you thought they should do. Let's go to Source eight news now to find out what they did. A quiet Friday morning inside the lawge Wallapie quickly turning

violin when an armed gunman storms in demanding cash. The bartender with his hands up is forty two year old Edward Parker. Hours after handing over thirty nine hundred dollars, Parker says his employer told him he had to pay the money back. I wasn't thinking right. I just had a gun shoved in my face and I signed the document.

This document, a signed contract saying three hundred dollars would come out of his paycheck until the full amount three thousand, nine hundred thirty seven dollars and thirty five cents was all paid off. What was the time between when you were robbed and when you signed that document? Three to four hours tops. His attorneys say the lodge coerced him to sign that contract. It's a demand for repayment for money that was taken from him. It's the most outrageous

thing I've ever seen. It's not right. Not right. As an understatement, Edward Parker robbed that gunpoint now suffering from panic attacks and major anxiety, as you can imagine, was forced into a retainment, a repayment plan, A gun in my face, and that's all you can come up with. Okay, I could have died in your funky ass establishment and you want me to pay you back? Who and why would ever want to work for a company like that?

Am I missing something here? Maybe I'm not a boss enough, because I don't know what kind of boss would lack this kind of emotional intelligence. Where's the empathy for your employee? Because guess what if Edward would have attempted to be a tough guy and not giving up the money or try to wrestle with the guy to take the gun away, you wouldn't have given him a four thousand dollars reward. Okay, you wouldn't have compensated him in any way. You have just said thank you, I patted him on the back.

But three to four hours after this man was traumatized, you got a piece of paper in his face asking him to sign it. So you haven't won the contract that he will pay you back the money that just got stolen from him at gunpoint. I have one question. It's a question that Larry King said you should always ask why. Okay, God blessed that Larry King. He said, why I have no answers for this one. I'm just making y'all aware of what is happening in the world.

Just reminds me of a quote from the Dali Lama. Dali Lama was absolutely right when he said, the ugliest thing I've ever seen is a human without compassion. And clearly this place I can't pronounce has no there you go, Please give the lodge walla who wants them, give them the biggest he hall. Please, in fact, let Rimy Mark give them the biggest he he ha he ha. You stupid, are you dumb? Yeah? That's foul. That's horrible. That's all the way foul. And I would really go in on them.

If that word wasn't kicking my ass, if the name of the place wasn't kicking my ass, I'd really have some words foul. That's okay, that's that's that's foul. Jesus O. Man, he signed it too. He didn't know. He was traumatized. Man, he just had a gun in his face. That means they got robbed before to have that paper there for them to sign that fast though. They didn't have to

go to an attorney and Lloyd. They just got that paper in the back room, here comes signed this, or maybe for yeah, I was thinking also they might have had that for employees who still our money goes up missing off the drawers short, you know what I mean. Or maybe they thought he stole or something that's horrible, man, that's crazy, or that he was in on it. No, well that's clearly not the case. No, all right, well

thank you for that. Donkey to day up Next ask ye eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need relationship advice, that any type of advice, call ye now. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on, what what what? What you gonna know? Baby mama issues, sneak some words and wisdom. All up now for asking eight hundred five eighty five one oh five one Breakfast Club the relationship advice, need personal advice, just the real advice, Call up now for ask Ye morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,

Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for ask Ye Hello. Who's this? Hey to night, Robie Nelson? What's up? Envy night? Robie? What's up? Man? Well, you know, first and foremost I got to say for Black History Month, you have to watch a block the reality cartoon. They have a black history fact after every episode in their episode two, and the black history fact that astonished me was Black History Month started off as

nig Roll History Week. Did you know that? Nope? And okay, the reality cartoon all right archive on YouTube now, Um Angela yee, Me and my girl we were having an argument about, um, this Joe Rogan thing, how he's coming into black neighborhoods calling him Plan of the Apes. That is right, Hey, you know, I ain't gotta say the word, but I guess you could call it systemic racism. He might be seeing it in fun. But when Rosie o'donald said it, she got canceled. You know. She said, the

girl look like the signs look like black. Um, somebody from the Plan of the Apes Joe Rogan say it, and it's kind of being smoothed, Oh, smoothed across right. She listened. That definitely was a crazy statement to say, and it sounded like a racist statement to me. Okay, all right, now that that makes me feel better because I was like, you know, are they skipping over this

because plant of other apes? You? That kind of made me kind of burned me up with my girl, Like it's you know, it's just a joke, but you know it's a systemic It's it's logged into his head that you know it's funny, but it's not funny, right, what's the what's the question for you guys? Should I stop arguing about it? Because you know she left you with the work, but you know I'm ready to keep it going she get back home, Like, yo, listen, I want to say a couple of things here. Sometimes it's not

a fight that you're gonna win. She has her opinion on something and you have your opinion on something. Sometimes you have to just agree to disagree because it's this something that's going to really affect your relationship. Yeah, yeah, I think it is gonna pull I do see it pull a negative energy into the relationship. So why why is this a bigger deal for you guys? Because I see a lot of people arguing about this online. I see a lot of people have differing opinions, and it

is an opinion. Somebody could look at what Joe Rogan says and what he has done and said I will never mess with him. He's a racist, And some people will say I don't think he's racist. And what he said was a joke. It was a bad joke. He's apologized. Let's move on. But those are just two different ways that people think. You can't ever force somebody to believe what you believe. You don't let that white man get your household messed up. Man, They ain't got nothing to

do with you. Sometimes losing, losing is winning. Okay, what you got to say, charl I mean, because I say, I hear you smoothing you, you're down with Joe Rogan. I don't know. I don't know Joe Organ. I just walked in. What's what's the debate? He's saying him and his wife get over Joe Rogan thing and they keep Aggan is getting kind of nasty in the house. That's why Joe Rogan is such a great podcast because it causes these kind of debates. But it shouldn't be nothing

that breaks up your marriage. That's what I said. Like, I mean, I don't understand why people can't have two two two opposing opinions, like just I got. I got a different view because I'm a broadcaster, you know what I mean. I'm and I'm a broadcaster that you know some people would say is a shock jock, so my

opinion is gonna be different. I know that we've said some wild stuff on this radio, so I cannot take no moral stand on Joe Rogan and say whether he's right or whether he's wrong, because somebody could even the same thing to me. And now, Robbie, don't you feel that it's great that you guys have different opinions on things. You don't want your wife or your girlfriend to always a agree with you. You're right, you right, Aye, and

you in the right spot. You know, I appreciate, I appreciate what you said, but if y'all argue like that any worth it, it's not. And I'm gonna tell you something else too. Man, Another reason that you gotta be just keep your message consistent because trust me, things like this will happen to somebody that you like, and your wife will be on your ass about that too. Trust me, this got happened to any of your favorite comedians, any

of your favorite radio personalities, broadcasters, podcasters, anything. This can happen to anybody. Uh huh. Yeah. I can't be the thing. I can't turn the Siginfield and I love Seinfield. I said the same thing after what happened with Kramer. Yes, I was like, man, it's hard for me to watch after that. But I say this, Nairobi, this is a great way for you guys to figure out moving forward having these healthy debates, because it is healthy to debate things.

That's right to have your own opinions. But how do you guys come to a resolution? Okay, we're just not going to agree on it's dinner. Yeah, just find it. And by the way, you listen, let her listen to Rogan and you find something else to listen to. What's the problem, like, that's why, that's why nd I reset curation. Why are y'all arguing about it? And when y'all in the car, y'all find something that y'all want to listen together.

I tell you, I tell you, I would like to end with you know, I'm still liking your your show The Guys on its truth, Thank you, sir. Make sure you scream that on Paramount Plus. See a lot of people don't like that show. The go you go to im DNB as people on there that say I'm a racist and I'm the black Alex Jones, right, and how can you be a racist. I don't know, but that people's opinion. I take Hey, it is what it is, man, But you can go scream the first season on Paramount

Plus right now. Thank you, Thank you for appreciating it. Brother, Thank you night, Robi. We appreciate you. So go make sure you get your girl a hug later today. Okay, thank you, Angie. Oh yeah, they worked out all right, man, have a good one. Ask ye eight hundred five eight five one O five one if you need relationship advice and any type of advice, call ye. Was the breakfast Club some real advice with angela Ye, ask ye. Want to get everybody's DJ envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy.

We are the breakfast club. We're in the middle of ask yee. Hello, who's this? Hey? What's your question for you? I go with this guy. He's my boyfriend. He just asked me to be his girlfriend last weekend. A fool out to go to him. We knew each other from middle school or whatever. No bix. But he did his birthday post to his ex wife and at the end he put, I love you, sugar. I still feel like there's something there. But he keeps saying that it's not. So my question is do I get too before I

get too involved? Do I just like because he said that it's not, but I really don't believe them honestly, Well, why did he write that? If you're in a relationship, why would you be telling your ex wife I love you sugar on social media? Mind you again, He just asked me to be his girlfriend this past weekend because I want to go see you. And he did the birthday post before that, but he asked me, did I

have a problem with it? And I'm looking at it, like, would you have a problem if I did a birthday post to my ex husband and said I love you sugar at the end, if the roads were reversed and he didn't ask, He didn't. He didn't have an answer. So you saw it before he posted it with no He posted it while I was at and then he sent between me he said, do you He asked me, do you have a problem with me writing a birthday post to my wife to my ex wife? And he said,

before you answered, this is what I sent. He's greenshot that and sid to me. It's not the fact that he did the birthday post to the ex wife, it's what he said in the post, that had me like, maybe I should pull it back just a little, just a little bit. Yeah, it feels like he's not completely over that, and that's disrespectful to you in your relationship.

It's fine that he did a birthday post, like you said, but I love you, Sugar is a bit much and unnecessary, especially if he's moved on and has a whole new girl friend. And like you said, would he like it if you did that? Now? When he asked you if you had a problem with it, what did you say? Besides would you have a problem? Did you tell him yes, I do have a problem. Um, I told him I don't have a problem with him doing the post. I have a problem what he said in the post because

that is the mother of his children. They have three beautiful little girls. I'm not that. I'm not the type of woman that's like, don't defending her this and that I'm not insecure at all. I'm very secure in myself, so with it, I'm just like, but why did you need to tell her you love her? Do you still love her? Why did they break up? And when did they break up? And why? Because he could love her in a different way he could love her because she is the mother of their children and she does a

great job with the kids. Married for thirteen years, and now I'm they're divorced. He's been divorced now for why year? Why are they divorced? I don't even know. Okay, So these are things that you need to understand, like what is their relation ship now? And I would say, I don't want to officially be in a relationship with you until I feel comfortable. I can't have my man going around damn. And this could be something you know that he's still not completely over. And so they've only been

divorced for a year. They were together for thirteen they have children together. And if there's a red flag for you, you can slow things down, Okay, That's what I'm gonna do, being because yeah, and you can also communicate and let him know why. You can say, look, I get it, you always together for thirteen years, you have kids together. I feel like this post made me think there's more

going on, and you should ask questions. If you can lay down with somebody, if you can meet their parents, then you can ask questions about what it is that you feel like you need to know to make evaluations. Yeah, I mean like, naw, I'm not invested, but I'm invested just because I've met his parings. I literally like, I mean,

you're invested because you you care about him. So yeah, you care about him, So you need to find out about this relationship and need you need to take your time that way, he's only been divorced for a year. That way you can really see what's going on, because right now you can't assess from this one post until you understand their relationship more. And if that means, look, let's just take it slower because I'm not completely comfortable. You have every right to do that, Okay, got it?

All right? Good luck? Eight on dread five eight five one oh five one. If you need relationship advice, you can call you right now. Now, we got rooms on the way. Yes, we are gonna talk about Nellie. Now. Some video leaked and he has apologized for this video leaking. We'll talk about it, all right, we'll get into it. NeXT's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Listen. Yes,

And Quest Left Summer So also got a Best Documentary Feature nominations, and Beyonce got a nomination as well, so hopefully for her she'll be winning for Incanto two.

Also shares the Best Picture No Nation with producers Tim White and Trevor White.

He is now the ninth person and second black man to be nominated for both acting in and producing the same film in the same year, So congratulations to him. I haven't seen any of these movies, but I feel like Will Smith is long overdue for an Oscar, don't you think? Yeah, King Richard was really great. Yeah, I haven't had some things to say about his accent though I haven't seen any of the movie, but I feel like Will Smith did the best job. That's the era

we live in. I don't even have any information. This is all feelings, one of my feelings. That's the vibe. Well. Denzel Washington remains the Oscar's most nominated Black actor after receiving a Best Actor nomination for his performance in The Tragedy of Macbeth. That is his tenth overall nomination at the Academy Awards. I definitely feel like Denzel did the best job out of everybody that's nominated in that category, and he should win the award. Who's he up against? You? Do?

We know? I feel like Denzel should win that. Have you seen any of the movie, sir, No, not one. I can't, but I'm surprised that you haven't seen King, King Richard, I am too, but still Will all right, all right, best, well let's send that that's gonna be a. That's a. That's a tough one for you because both Will Smith and Denzel are both nominated for So what do you do now? I feel like Will should win because Will got one, Denzel got one, Denzel got an Oscar.

I don't know. I haven't seen either movie, but I just feel like Will should win because we don't have an Oscar. I'm with you. That'd be fly. That's hip hop the fresh Prince. All right, well, Will Packard is producing the broadcast this year, so that should be exciting to watch. Congratulations to Will Packard. That's a huge deal for him, absolutely for the Oscars. Yes, King Richard, what if you know what? You know? What? You know? What? It's short for? Richard? I'm just asking, do you know? Yes?

What did it? I don't know? What do you mean? You tell me it's a name? What is it? King? That's why you've been dying to watch it. That's not why I've been dying to watch it, King Richard. Can we go getting into Nelly? I guess why? Wow? So you saw the video. That's my guy right there. You see that goddamn lob without even trying, no look pass, he slam dumped it between his legs. You see that. You see that I've done that lob. You see that slab on the lob. Ye. I'm just trying to help

you out. I'm just trying to help you out, all right. Well, Nelly, there was a video that was posted on his Instagram page. Looks like he accidentally posted it because he deleted it within a minute, but a lot of people have managed to capture that video and it was of him receiving oral sex, and people were making a lot of comments about his moaning. What's wrong with moanings? Listen, I agree you guys should be noisy when things are happening. Everybody,

All right. But Nellie has since apologized. He told he told tim Z, I sincerely apologize to the young lady and her family. This is unwanted publicity for them. This was an old video that was private and never meant to go public.

That's messed up that See, people don't think about that when they when they post these videos like you posted because it's Nellie. But what about the girl on the other end, you know what I'm saying. I know, I was like, what if she's a teacher, what if you know, her family has to see this? She wondered why her dam's getting her dam's popping down? She don't even know why? What if she married? Now you know what I mean with kids? If you know what I mean? Yeah for real? Okay,

all right, well he has apologized. It was never supposed to go public the way that it did, and you saw Ashanti was trending because of that video too. All right, Now, Wendy Williams will not be returning her her daytime talk show this season, but the future of the show does remain in flexileort variety, they said, Sherry Shepherd is in advanced discussions for her own daytime talk show.
