Or baby was borne? Is the born every second? B right? All right, well we'll get to that. Next is to Breakfast club go on, Hey morning, everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are to breakfast clubless getting some front page news? All right,

where we're starting easy? Well. Police in Texas are looking for a suspect after one person was shot at a mall in Colleen. And this happened yesterday evening. Shoppers had to shelter in place. Please got a call around seven seventeen pm there was a disturbance at the mall. They were told one person had been shot. There's surveillance photos that were issued by the police as suspect is seen

wearing a white hat and a white faced mask. They said people were sheltering place last night around nine pm. There were phone calls from employees and people at the mall who just basically had to stay there. I gotta be scary Christmas shopping and all of a sudden, shelter in place. You know, you hear a gunshot on't they tell you something? Everybody gets scared. Now they don't know if it's an active shooter. Or if it's a bee

for is somebody just trying to kill them? And then you gotta stay in them all anybody, And then you gotta stay in them all and you don't know what's going on. That's that's scary as hell. The injured person was airlifted to a local hospital and it is in stable condition. But there was a lot of chaos in the mall at the time of the shooting, and that's when they sheltered that. That's when they issued that shelter

in place order. And if you don't know what happened, you're in a whole another store, and then they lock everything down and tell you you can't leave. Are you scanned? And especially if you go to the mall, like I go to the mall sometimes, and you know, my older kids will go one way. I go the other way, and then they shelter in place. I gotta na. I can't shelter me in place. Anything you want to do is get out. Yeah, I gotta find my kids. Or if my wife going to one store, I go on

another store. Na, I gotta find my wife. All right? Now, Christmas trees, are you get anyone? I have mine up already, Okay, and I've never had a real tree, never ever, always a fake tree. So did you know that roughly forty percent of the nation's Christmas tree supply comes from one place. Yeah, I heard it. Heard it as a shortage right from our hunt. Yeah, there's a shortage right now. So they're struggling after trees were burned by the heat. There's a

dwindling supply and an increase in prices as well. So just giving you all the heads up in case you're trying to get your Christmas tree and you're wondering what's going on. Yeah, I've never had a real tree for two reasons. One, I always used to see the videos of the trees catching on fire, so my parents never won in one. And also, I mean, we have a tree, and then we could use that tree for ten twelve years, so we just kept a tree. My dad gets a tree and then returns it. I think it's a like

home depot. You could do that or something, Papa, Ye, why dad, do not play? He will save a dollar all right. In six states right now account for more than half of the country's recent COVID hospitalizations. Those are Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York and Illinois. So while these states make up thirty five percent of the population, among states with increasing COVID hospitalizations, they make up sixty percent of the added beds, and in Michigan they have the highest share of new

hospitalizations when adjected for population. They said three out of four COVID patients in Michigan are unvaccinated. According to a public information officer at the Michigan Department of Health, unvaccinated people make up eighty seven percent of COVID patients who are in ICU in the state. And they said that we shouldn't be as worried about the Amara Cron variant,

we should be more worried about the delta variant. Right Well, delta variants still makes up over ninety nine percent of the cases right now, So I'm a crown as new. But they are saying that it's more highly transmissible but not as dangerous, and why they shut down the whole

country and traveling back and forth. It's not as dangerous. Well, I think they still don't want you to get it, because you gotta think right now, as the time people are getting the flu, they're getting sick for other reasons, and it's still too early to tell, so you would rather make sure that you get it under control than not. Okay, and that is your front page news, all right, get it off your chess eight hundred five A five one

I can't even imagine. My heart goes out to both of them, and we'll talk about their five month old son who has passed away from brain cancer. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Happy holidays, wishing you and your family the very best this holiday season for all of us here at the Breakfast Club to breakfast. Oh goshu report got it's Breakfast Club. Well, some tragic news for Nick Cannon and Alyssa Scott. They have a five month old son, Zen, and he has passed away from brain cancer. Nick Cannon did go on his daytime show to talk about the news of what happened. Now Here

he is describing the symptoms that Zen had. I always noticed he had like a little felt like a sinus thing. It was like a call. By the time he was two months old, I noticed, like, you got it, like a nice size head. But I really wanted to, you know, take him to the doctor to get the breathing and the sinus things checked out. So we thought it would be a routine process, and we found out that he had another condition where it was fluid that was building

up in his head. And when we found out it was more of a malignant tumor, and so immediately we had to have surgery as brain surgery. We put a shunt in his head, and we were hoping for the best while I was Zen's health did take a turn for the worst. That happened around Thanksgiving. Here year is

describing that. So Thanksgiving we had an interesting turn and it was cancer in the brain and the tumor beginning to grow a lot faster, and so we knew that the time was so this weekend, you know, I made a valid effort to spend the most quality time I could spend with Zin and after the last holding my son for the last time. But it was still it was a beautiful setting. I couldn't imagine. Man. I prayed for Nick and his family and and I mean, it's

it's nothing worse than losing your child, you know. And baby was five and a half months. You know, you're thinking, you're praying for the best, and you're hoping that everything is going to work out. You're praying for strength. Are years talking about that. I was always talking about you don't just go through, which grow through what you keep pushing, you know what I mean? And I have so much faith in the Lord. I have so much faith in God.

And you know, people were often telling me y'all should pray for miracles, and I did pray for the miracle. I pray for the miracle of God's strength. And that's why I'm here with you guys today, because I know he puts the most and heaviest weight on the shoulders of his strongest soldiers. So I'm here to show that I can fight through this. I'm feeling it, I'm vulnerable, I'm open yall, y'all, but I'm gonna make it through. And this is a special show dedicated to my beautiful sons.

Man oh Man, that is so and speaking of strength for him to be able to go to work and do his show and discuss this and share this, and I'm sure that there's other people who may have had experiences that touched them in particular that that was relatable. And he said he's always an open book, so in this situation, he wanted to make sure that he shared what was going on in his life. And he also did have grief counselors on the show. He had doctor

Laura Berman, and he had grief expert David Kessler. And here he is talking to David Kessler. One thing, I feel like I've been struggling with is guilt. I want to spend more time with my kids when I'm here, I'm like, I should be with my kids when I'm off doing anything. I mean, in other therapy sessions, I talk about the one thing that eats at me, the thing that keeps me up at night. It's like, I should be doing more for my children. Guilt is a

constant companion and grief. I'm learning that. And here's the thing. Psychologically, we're always rather guilty than helpless. So your mind wants to find some control in an uncontrollable situation. Let me tell you, the fact that you're in guilt you wish you would have done more is what makes people a good father. I think a lot of parents deal with that, you know, not spending enough time or wanting to spend

more time. But on the other angle, you want to make sure that you could provide that you could provide food, You could make sure that they pay for you pay for their high school, their college, their basketball games and tournaments and all that. So it's it's a thin line. But you try to play both sides. And that's why I fly back and forth so many different times. Man, I try to be at the kids games and the acting classes and ballet and dance and soccer and tennis

and whatever they do in football. And you know, my daughters play whatever I possibly can. But that that that is guilt that you sit through all the time, is you want to spend more time, but you also want to make sure that financially you set them up right. And kids aren't thinking when they're young, like, oh, he's doing this because he's got to make money so I could do. They're like, where is my father? That's right,

all right? So we appreciate Nick Cannon for even being able to speak on that and to a list of Scott another. Had to be really hard for both of them to have to deal with this. But I'm gonna see him later on. I'm gonna give him a big hug, man. He does a lot for us, our people, our community. I'm just gonna give him a big hug and tell him we love him, man, because it's it's nothing you can say that make him feel better, but you know the fact that he knows that we love him and

we support him, we continue to pray for him. It's just a start, all right. Well, that is your rumor reports. Jeez, I know that I know that was heavy, but it was very necessary. You know, me and my wife were talking about that last night and it was just like, it's just I couldn't even imagine. I couldn't be you know, he's a strong he's a strong rubber because I couldn't even imagine being able to function for people deal with with with grief differently. So again, salute to Nick Cannon

and condolences to his family. Is listen man? All right, Well we got front page news. Next. What we're talking about, Well, let's talk about Chris Cuomo. He was fired by CNN last Saturday, and that is for his involvement with his brother Andrew Cuomo's sexual misconduct scandal. But we'll tell you what's happening now with the aftermath. 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. It's here, the most star studded black western ever made the Heart of day Fall, directed by James Samuel, alongside a killer soundtrack that features original songs by jay Z, Kid Cutty and Moore. Watch now on Netflix and stream the soundtrack now on all platforms. Morning Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Guee, Charlomagne, the guy we are to breakfast Clubleskin in some front

page news where we're starting easy. Well. Chris Klomo, he was fired by CNN last Saturday, person involving with his brother Andrew Chromos sexual misconduct scandal, and he also has now lost his book deal and his severeigns. CNN released a statement where they let everybody know that he was terminated. Chris Komo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light. We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review and have terminated

him effective immediately. Wow. Now, Chlomo released a statement saying, the way my time ended a CNN was hard. While I have a thick skin, I also have a family for whom the past week has been extraordinarily difficult. So right now I have to take a step back and

focus on what comes next. Why would he lose his book deal while he's also facing sexual misconduct charges of his own, and so all these things are also being brought back to light and to light from a former junior colleague at another network who chose to come forward now after hearing his on air statement about his brother's scandal. Don't that sound wow? That an accusation could get you to lose your book deal because you figure it book deal where you'll be able to tell your own story,

but an accusation could get you to lose it. He's not convicted, right, and now he's not. But you know, HarperCollins was doing his book deal. That's the publishing company, and they announced they'll no longer be publishing his book. It's called Deep Denial. It was supposed to come out in the fall of twenty twenty two, and so now

they're not publishing the book anymore, all right. Chris Como also is prepping to sue CNN for more than eighteen million dollars and that's over the contract that they have if they don't pay him at least what's left in his contract that they have to do that. So he's

hired lawyers. He's preparing the father lawsuit. It was a four year contract that he signed last year year, and so his contract was reportedly worth six million dollars a year, so that leads between eighteen and twenty million that he would be old. But CNN has no intention of paying him a Penny. So if he gets a settlement, there would be an uproar, according to a source. But CNN does have a standard morality cause in their contract that if the employee does anything like that, they can be

immediately fired. Yeah, I mean that's in most people's contracts. If you do something else side or do something, you can't get fired. But the fact that he's fighting it, it seems like it has to be a loophole. I'm sure Chris Pomo got some of the best attorneys out there, so if he's fighting, it got to be a loophole somewhere, right. And there's also a CNN probe going on into an

unspecified sexual misconduct allegation against Chris Cuomo. They got that just last week and that dates to his time working for ABC News, and his spokesman has insisted that those allegations are not true. All right, Well I'm angela ye, and that is your front page news, all right, So

Charlemagne is out today. So if you want to give somebody donkey of the day eight hundred five eight five one oh five one, wherever you want to give donkey too, it could be your boss, could be your co worker, it could be the fact that you can't find Christmas trees because there's a Christmas tree shortage. It could be that guy who had the fake prosthetic arm and try to get the vaccination that was his fake arm. That was funny. It could it could be a bunch of things.

It could be the fact that that you don't you're not feeling your baby daddy right now, your baby mama, whatever it may be. Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. Hit us up right now, Donkey of the Day, and now up next, we have A J. Johnson now A J. Johnson. She's an actress, wellness coach. She has a show on TV one called Life Therapy. Now. You also might have seen her in Baby Boy. She was also in House. She was dancing with Gina Ain't got hurting the body. Yeah, So she'll be joining us

in a little bit. She had her own show before the AJ Zone. All right, So we'll talk to A. J. Johnson when we come back. So don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, Go Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. I thought she was up here, So I thought you up here before. No, my first time. I'm like, I'm

a breakfast nup version. I just know your face, like I grew up on you, so I just know we just I just thought you were here. You're part of the family. I love it. Well, now, just Johnson, good morning? What's what's up? Good morning? Now, if you don't know who A. J. Johnson is and you don't know her from Life Therapy and all the shows that she did, she was on one of my favorite movies of all time,

House Party. You know, I'm surprised you said that. I thought you was gonna say baby boy, Yeah, that too, well, I was gonna say. Usually you see guys say baby boy yeah, and girls say house party Yeah. House party. You know from New York. So it was like I grew up on that. So I want to start from the beginning. If you don't mind, you like, how did you get into acting? How did you get the part in the house party party? Let's talk about it. Oh

my goodness, you don't have enough time from New Jersey, Jersey? Yeah, yeah, well yeah, we're just about man. I went to school in Atlanta, and the beginning was Spike Lee shooting school days on campus, and so as a premim major, I still put my foot in the arts. Let's go back to the real beginning. So, growing up in Jersey, my

parents used to bring me up to the city. So every time I come to New York is real nostalgic for me, because you know, I grew up on alvin Alee Dan's classes and going to see Brawlway shows and so that's where I feel like the performance bug got me. But I came from an academic family, so it was like, yeah, you know, that's fun, but you're gonna be a doctor, You're gonna be a lawyer, or you're gonna be an accountant. So I always saw it as fun until Spike showed

up his butt. He shows up on campus and he's like, you know, I think I want you to be in my movie. I was Miss Moorehouse at the time, you know, yeah, so I was, you know, I was kind of doing it at school and he was like, you know, I think I kind of want your presence in the movie. And I was like, yeah, you think I need you

to be sure. He was like, see that's what I'm talking about, that energy, And so God bless him because he put me in school days and that started everything because it gave me my Screen Actors Guild membership, which is what you need. Of course, no, and it's not. And so I loved Spike forever for that because he believed me enough to finance that, and and the rest took off after. What about your parents because they everybody wanted you you know, you were premed. Oh yeah, well

I lost my mom my first year at school. But but my dad and the rest of my family was like, no, no, no, no, this is supposed to be fun. And my dad actually didn't speak to me until the house party premiere because then you want our tickets for a second line? Did you for a second say, I don't know, you haven't been talking to me. No, because I knew, I knew,

you know, and he knew we were closed. So he said, listen, I'm just scared for you, like that life, like you know, He's like, you know, I'm from Jersey, I'm an engineer. I don't know nothing about Hollywood and auditions and red carpets. He's like, but now I'm gonna find out because my girl doing it, you know, so break down a house party. So how did House Party come to you and what was the vision when you first seen it? Okay, well, did you know that I was in Living Color fly

girl choreographer. Yes, okay, so actually House Party conflicted within Living Color. So Keenan Ivory Wayans was like, you gotta do either. So I was like, okay, so I'm out love, you gonna leave. And Living Color one of the biggest shows on TV. But at the time, it was the beginning, it was growing. I was pioneering, correct, right, So I called him Rosie, my girl, Rosie Perez. I said, listen, I gotta I gotta take a step back for a second. Go try to do this movie thing. I need you

to handle it for me. That's hope that you hooked a friend up, because some people might have been like, oh, I gotta make a choice. I'm out good luck. Oh no, no no, Because Rosie was the you know at the time, you know, as dancers, it was like Rosie was holding down the East coast. I was holding down the West coast. So we shot and Living Color on the West coast. So, I mean, and Keenan was a friend, so I was like, you know, I'm gonna take this opportunity, but I'm not

gonna leave my boy hanging. So I was like, let me get let me go get you the baddest dancer I know, which was Rosie and so cars Rosie and then and you know, Tsha and I were friends because we met doing school days and I said, listen, I'm trying to do this movie. I think you know they came to the location to check me out on Living Color. You're looking for a brown skin ship who can dance and who? And she's like, oh no, they're looking for

a light skin girl for another role. I wonder if it's me and you Now you know we don't have to wonder. You know, what do you think that right? Deep? Right? Do you think that you're a training and what you do like for people as a life coach that helps even when you're on set just being there with people, because I can imagine how pleasant it must be to be around you, because you have a lot of the skills and tools to make sure that you know how to treat other people. Some people don't know how to

do that. I love you saying that, and because I think that part of my life and personality is what got me to the life coaching. It was like as people as I'm you know, I mean, I've been doing this for thirty years. So as I work with different people, as I'm around different people, they're the ones saying, can I talk to you? You know, can I get your

take on this? You know, I heard you went through a hard time, but you know, I can't even you know, you're not wearing You're you know, you're not wearing your story, Like how how are you so up? And so that's where the life coaching came from. The psychology degree in background, I just started helping people. And before my dad passed, he was like, well, are they paying you for it? And I was like, no, no, no, I'm helping my friends. He was like, well can they pay me? Because I

pay for spellment, so can they that right? You know? And so in his passing he said, you know, promise me you'll just try it because that's part of your gift and your talent and you know, you help people and you're in service as a person. But at the same time, that's a job, right. So here we are and TV one. TV one said whoop and said we want you to executive produce. It's your show eighteen episodes

show us how you do it. I love it because it is really difficult to be in these high stressful situations. So many people don't like the people who they have to work with. So imagine like having somebody including me sometimes. Yeah, so it's like, you know, finish your question. But I'm like, you know, don't, don't act like I'm the therapist who's not going through it. I'm the therapist to help you. I'm coming from experience. But go ahead and finished. No. No,

but I'm saying, just imagine. I was talking to one of my friends about that, and we were saying, how so many people just have to go to situations where they go to work every day and they just can't stand their job. They can't stand the people that have and that can be like really every day, just break you down, girl. The breakdown can start with, how about I don't even want to go to work or I'm at work and I like work more than I like home. I mean, there's a whole lot that goes on. I

don't like my family. You know, I'm married. I can't stand my husband, you know. I mean there's a whole lot, especially during this pandemic. You know how many people were locked away at home and typically we're doing okay because they weren't home so much, and now that's all they could be. So life shifted. Some people say I don't like my kids. I mean, listen, I'm telling you life is hard. I think for me, like I messed up my my situation at the crib because they had a situation.

They get up at a certain time, they eat at a certain time, they do this at a certain times. That's coming home and I'm like, it's too early to eat this where we've been doing this like eighteen Like we've been doing this. Dad, get out of here, right. I messed up the house a little bit, right, And you know what, I love. You know. TV one has been amazing because in creating the show, you know, one of the things I asked and and they completely partnered with me on is that I wanted to keep it

real and authentic and do with genuine issues. I didn't want to be the doctor on the couch, the therapist on the couch. I wanted to dive in and say, listen, you know, therapy is me and you trying to find a solution. It's friends, it's family, it's a camaraderie approach. It should be fun, it should be safe. You know, no matter what the issue is, we all need help going through life. So whatever it is, big or small, we got more. With A. J. Johnson, we're getting his

free life Therapy this morning, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne and the guy we are The Breakfast Club was still kicking in with A. J. Johnson's actress wellness coach. She has a show on TV one Life Therapy. Now you spoke with with Yan dm DC. Yeah, thats gious and he was so mad about which part, which part, the part where you d left. He was like when he was like when she was like, well, would you

hold me down? And he was like, I don't know right, but here here, here's what I love. First of all, that's my family. I love them. Just here. She was here about a week ago. Yeah. Yeah, that's a couple's retreat. That's vh one um. And you know I love the honesty. See that's my thing. We can all we can only get to the help and the step forward when you're willing to be honest, no matter how bad the situation is,

and they needed to have that conversation. I was watching them as we were filming, and I could tell that they were off about the truth of you know, how did you feel when you were incarcerated? And I was blowing up, you know, on the outside, and so there were conversations they hadn't had yet. So to me, I was like, you know what, if y'all trust me, we can really do this work and get down to the true, the true conversation, which is like, what are you really feeling?

You know, Yandy, what are you feeling? I just want to know, you know, all the stuff I did? Would he have my back? And I was like, well, what if he doesn't, where are we going from there? She's like, I don't know. I just gotta get the answer. I said, okay, well I'm gonna help you, says get the answer. I never expected to get the answer. We all got the answer, right,

But you know what, that's the step forward. You know, they had already dealt with where they were for years, right in terms of that space, you can only step forward when you get to the truth. So now you start to heal. You know, now we know the truth. Now we know that. He didn't say no, he said, I don't know, so now we have to figure it out. Let me ask you a question when people say I want the answer, and your thing is, well, what are you gonna do when you get that answer? Right? Right?

And most of the time is nothing, So why do you get the answer someone? Because he says that all the time, like, if you get the truth, what you're gonna do when you get that truth? If you ain't gonna do Some people don't want to know the truth because they want to just keep living how they're living.

And they're like, okay, because if I'm gonna stay, but I want the truth, but I'm staying, I'm just gonna stay and be mad, right, And then you're gonna stay and be mad and not happy and evil and not fun to be around, and vindictive and revengeful, and I mean, who wants that life? I mean, I don't. Some people don't know they don't want to know the truth. Sometimes in the therapy sessions is where you uncover and discover you know, I don't I probably won't do anything with

the truth. So maybe I don't want the truth, and maybe the lie I'm living it is probably okay for my life. Now, if you can be okay living a lie, that that's on you, right, You know I personally can't live that lie. I'm I'm a truth seeker. Are you a truth seeker? Absolutely? Are you? No? You rather live the line when it comes when it comes to certain things like it's honestly when it comes to friends and my kids. But if my wife cheated on me, you

wouldn't want to know. I wouldn't want to know. You know, I've seriously, you wouldn't want to know. You don't think you could learn the truth hell from it and keep going No, he can't do it. Wow, But the other guy's penis is definitely that and we know size matters. The reason the reason I wouldn't is because you know I've been with my wife twenty seven years, right, Yeah, you've been married twenty So all the stuff that I've

done to my wife in a relationship is foul. I was insecuted starting to go together when we were fifteen, right, So you learn from your wife like you learn those experiences with your spouse. So if she did something to me, I'm not leaving. You deserved it. I deserved it. So okay, So it's kind of like a guilt thing. No, it's not a guilt thing. I just don't want to I'm not leaving because you don't even want to think about it.

So I don't want to even think about it. So, for instance, like when it comes to me, I'm the type I can put something in the past and continue to move forward. Does she know all your dirt? Yes? Okay, and she stayed Yes, So is that why if you knew her dirt, you could say he's not gonna go. That's why he's saying because you're saying you're not gonna leave, So why not? You just don't need to know the dirt. I don't. I don't know how I would feel if that was kilt. Let's say let's say my wife did

something foul. Right, Let's say she could it be more foul than whatever you did, I mean anything could be faust. She could, you know, have sex with a friend and not not just cheating, just the insecurities that how I treated her as being young and through our you know, through our relationship, and she did something I would not

want to know. So does that make you does that does that make you slightly like lifelong uncomfortable to say no no, because even with me, like for instance, if you do something, let's say you do something to me, I'm the type where I could let it go, say you and keep it moving and everything about you. Ever again, you're never in my life. Some people harp on that

I agree, but but no, I agree. But when it's your wife, it's kind of like I feel like there's this little cloud like a Charlie Brown clown that could hover of There could be something I don't know that's holding me back from being my best self just because I don't know my full truth. That could be, but there hasn't been any discrepancies with her and our manner. Do you know that? But like, AJ, let me ask

you something. I heard that if you cheat on somebody, you're not supposed to tell them if they're not going to find out, because that's just to get rid of your own guilt and that puts a burden on the other person. And I've read that in several places. So can we back up before that? And why are you cheating anyway? So there's there's something going on for you to be a cheater. First, Now, all of a sudden, you're a cheater and you're keeping secrets. So where are

we going with that? Because what if like, okay, let's just say his wife went on vacation with her girls while mby was doing him well, don't use envy in this one book ahead, and she had a little fleeing somewhere in Jamaica and no one would ever know about it, came back home and just should she tell I years later? He didn't find out it was fifteen years ago. I think, first of all, like I said, depending on what's leading you to the cheat, that's the issue is what what

what's happening that you even want to cheat? He knows? Okay, well see I would say it wasn't but I know, well let's be true. Let let's be honest. Let's be honest. So so are we just are we are we kind of putting icing on a nasty cake saying you weren't you were just not the best when you know were you were? You were you? Yeah? Okay, see okay, that's okay.

So so that again that's the truth. So but you're in order for you to be better, you have to admit that, so that you so that you know what better is going to be right, correct, So the cheating, what's going on for her to cheat? Something's going on

with herself before it even comes to the relationship. Something's going on inside Now that you cheat, Now it depends on where she wants to go in the relationship, because now you're holding onto a secret, a lie, because now my valty you is a lie, her val is a lie. She cheated. You think some people cheat out of revenge too. I think people cheat for all kind of reasons insecurity, revenge. But what you saying, I look, look, he pulled the mike closer. He's like, wait, hold on, no. I think

people cheat for many different reasons, for many reasons. But I think the main reason I think a lot of fellows cheap is because and it's gonna sound so crazy, I know women hate when we say it, because that's what our community was, I cheating community. Correct. Think about it. When you listen to music and you listen to things, it's almost like you're supposed to cheat. When you hear songs and you see people doing this, and you see people doing that and you're at the club. That's what

our community was growing up. That's how it was, and that's what I because I feel like it's kind of shifted to twicls change, Like now it's torking, like all the music is. You know, if I can't drop down low, stay down low and make it go counterclockwise clockwise, it's like I feel like I'm not worthy. You can do it though I can't. That's at the point you still yeah, yeah, yes, that was a community. But how many times did you see your favorite autors, favorite celebrity out with their wife?

You know, you not a lot of seeing rappers talk about their wives and just seeing actors talked about their wives in the last ten years before that, every you had to be single. But listen, you know that's what our community did. What you're talking about the men part, and you're asking about the female part. So I think there's also different reasons why as women we cheat and why as men cheat, But it still goes back to

what's going on within me. Very seldom, I mean, I think that people cheat for a lot of reasons, like we were talking about, but very seldom, I feel like the cheating has to do with the other person. The cheating has to do with how I feel about myself right now. You can help me not feel good about me right. You can help me not be courageous, not be confident, not be confirmed right, but you can't validate me.

I gotta validate me. So if I'm cheating looking for validation, attention, love, honor, respect, that's something that I'm looking for somewhere else. So now I have to deal with you on why am I with you as a life partner? And I'm like getting what I need you follow. So it's not about telling do I cheat? It's I need to fix what's happening here because I, you know, because I went somewhere else, or I think we can be better, and just so you know, we're so aft up right now, I did

go somewhere else. But can we fix it? Imo? We have more with A. J. Johnson when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club, the Morning Envy, Angela Yee Charlemagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking in with AJ Johnson's actress wellness coach. She has a show on TV one Life Therapy and ye question envy, why did you cheat? A lot of different reasons insecurity is the main one. I think one because when I was home, I was this shoe I was with Shawn Casey.

But when I was in the street, I was DJ MV. So I almost felt like I was a superhero, like I put my k forward. I'm a different person. And what part of your life, though, what part of your life did this happen? Because y'all been together a long time when I started popping, and when was that? I would say, maybe my late was feeling yourself myself, because you gotta think I was. I hate to say. I was a kid with the glasses the brain where we go. Listen, he had a little tight shorts on with his sides

up to his the nerd. Yeah it was DJ Shrimp. I was only five foot four. At first I thought it was because it's something else, No shut up. But I grew from five to six foot so it was like, you know, as a kid, I was, I was the nerd. I was Nobody was going me, nobody's hollered at me. But now I'm six foot. I got lay Sick, my braces off, I got lay Sicks number two. I got Lai. There was no more metal mouth, it was no more four eyes, it was no more none of that. Listen

now they say that again. That dusted you off, right and fixed you up. She dusted me off and fixed me up. And now I'm how are you out there? But you know how many how many stories are the same, male and female. You know, the chubby girl in high school who who couldn't make the cheerleading team all of a sudden becomes the beauty queen and high school. You know what I mean? So I think it was great with you guys, is that you have such a history,

that's your foundation. You had to know you were going to grow up together, so that that growing years. I mean, most people don't really find their their person, told a good reason person until like thirty, So you have all that growing and maturing to do before you lock down. If you lock down sooner, you're gonna have those growing pains, as they say, correct, so you have to go through them together. Me and my wife wrote a book During a Pandemic, which is which just comes out next year,

next year. But we talked about all that because I was insecure, she was beautiful. I didn't want her to go outside, you know, I didn't want her to wear a form fitting clothes like I was that type of guy like this, the guy that if my daughter dated a guy like me, I'd be like, we gotta give it this. I got a question, Yes, man, So is there anything from that guy? Because that's a soul? Is there anything from that soul? Although we fixed a lot of the outside, is there anything on the inside that

still needs healing when it comes to that. No, you're absolutely sure. So why do you think you don't want to know her truth? If there's something to tell. Well, I don't think about the past. I don't think about anything. He don't want to think about his path. I don't think about anybody's past. But I think I did be tame place where I don't want to think about it. Like some people, you know, they drink to forget about things,

or they use drugs. For myself, I focus on the future, like I focus on my kids and the future and what's coming on next. I never want to go back to that person. I never want to think you're I know who that person is, and I don't like talking about that person. I don't like like even with my wife, she got cut in her face, right, she had like sixty stitches. Girls beat her up when she was fifteen, jumped to a cut of face. I never want to think about that again. So every time she brings that

story up, I have to walk out the room. You don't even want to hear abody talk about the more because I dealt with that. I didn't, we didn't cry. So you're already he from that. No residual math that exactly because I would, I would find a person and blow the house up. But I'm heal from it. Well, see that means that you're still not healed because you're telling that you if that that you have thoughts of if you don't have thoughts about that. If I did,

I would, I would, I would have done it. Complicated, I know, but you know this is life therapy because and I also I also think that he could justify if GI had cheated on him. And that's maybe why he doesn't want to know, because because it's justified. Your highest come on life, coach, Come on, come on life coach. Exactly finished, Yes, you're right, you know, because you could look at the situation and say she should have cheated

because in his head, you know, I deserved it. He probably thinks he deserved it because he wasn't present the way that he should have been. He was doing what he was doing. Her feelings were hurt and what did he think? She? I know, I don't know exactly, but you know what, Yeah, this is a great example of what right right, I know it is it is and

this is what this is what therapy is. I mean, the reason why we're doing the show is to hopefully show the black and brown community that doesn't necessarily know a go to therapy. We're trying to show and hopefully succeeding that therapy is this. It's exactly what we're doing. We're talking things out, looking for solutions in a safe place, you know, where you can feel like like you have no reason to hide your truth and open and honesty because the next step is moving forward in your life.

And so we're blocked by so much as a people, right Like you're saying, a lot of the male cheating is coming from you know, our music in the day, and and what society is telling us we are and are not and how good we are or not. I mean, we go on and on all you know, in terms of how does your family upbringing play a part in your adult life? Like what did you see? A lot of African American men don't come from two parent households, so they didn't have an example of what a man

is really supposed to be in a relationship. I luckily did. I'm all over my wife, I'm all over my kids. I'm always constantly hugging in my relationship. I need that because I watched it and that was what That's how I identify love. How do you identify love? Well, I would say this, my parents are definitely not very affectionate. People see so deep. But our parents are divorced, will live with each other, go everywhere with each other. You

gotta be on the show too. We got a whole lot of life therapy in the same house, travel everywhere, but not married. But I'm probably very like multimately unavailable. I'm cool in my relationship and I'm very laid back and chill, and we don't really argue. Everything's pretty calm. Do you want to fix that? Do you feel like it's something to fix? No, I think everything's fine. Like I feel like we don't have like super deep conversations, but we also are like best friends, so best friends

and romantic but not super deep. Yeah, but we don't have those conversations. We could, but I just feel like we never have had the need. How long have you been together, um like six years. See and I think you tell me because you both you are in a relationship longer than ones. I mean I last two weeks. That's long for me. But but but my question is do you think being the married one that the hard conversations are what cements the relationship. I think I think

he's scared of marriage. It won't say it right, Well, I can say it, and the reason being is because I think she's seen it with her mother and father, So you're scared of it. Well, I don't feel like marriage is necessary for me personally. And and listen, that's not a whole other show women women who don't feel like marriage. I feel the same way, but I don't. I'm not against it, Like if one day I changed my mind, I'm okay with that. But I'm okay with

not being married and being in a monogamous relationship. See that. That's that There's a lot of women who are not okay with not being made and that's a decision. Some people have a goal like I want to be married, and there's nothing wrong with that, right, I agree, I agree, But I also think ye is an individual that has been doing it for so long and being an entrepreneur and being independent. I don't think she could ever get

to it. And it's just me personally. I don't think she could ever get to a place where she has to check in and tell somebody what she's doing, how she's doing it, where she's I don't think she don't look at that it's checking in though. Yeah, I was gonna say, but but her marriage doesn't have to be that. I know, well, right, my marriage is not gonna be that's not that's not gonna be a marriage. Or you know where your wife is all the time? Well, what do you mean? Do we know where we are all

the time? For instance, well, do you feel like when I go somewhere, my wife knows? When my wife goes somewhere, I know, like we know where we each other will going. So if I ever need her, she ever leaves me, she can know if if a bomb blew up in the city, she could be like, my husband's not in the city, he's in Queens. I didn't hear that as the same thing as the check in thing, that that that you won't you got to check and all you in trouble, But like where that's partnership to collect exactly

right right at all times. Like if I'm like, I'm not coming to work this day, you have to do it. Like it comes up in regular conversation and you figure it out. You know, as you're moving forward, you know where you are now may not be the relationship you want in two months, three months, right, you know that. That's the one thing too that I love about the timing of life therapy is that we're dealing in a time when the world keeps turning and flipping. You know,

we didn't know that we'd be here. You know, this long and a pandemic and it's not going anywhere anytime soon, and we're getting ready to going to another slump in it. Right, So our lives, our work, our relationships, our families, everything, everything is affected. Is it draining sometimes when you leave from doing the therapy, because it is? It really deep? Yeah, Like there's one picture I posted on Instagram in the middle of shooting where I was getting like a vitamin

IV because I was so drained. But but the difference for me is this is not a job. For me, I really believe it's a calling. You know, all of it, all of my life, all of my career has led to this. I mean, think about it. When you talk about clients and you talk about Stevie Wondershaka Khan, you know, Beyonce Celo. I mean the list. You know, I've been so blessed to work with so many people and gain their trust, to work with so many people tsha, I mean, the list goes on. What I love is that part

of the trust comes from I've lived the life. I'm in the industry. I have struggles, but they're seeing where I'm managing my life. I'm managing my happy I'm managing my mental and my stress. So basically the business came because they said, you're doing a better job at the management than I am. Please show me and teach me how you do it. Okay, said they say invoice. He said, He's just say no, this is this is my Christmas, this is my Christmas game, my Christmas again. And when

I come back and see y'all in January. Now we're gonna start charging this. This is the first free life is A. J. Johnson is the breakfast Club, Boding Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne, the guy. We all the breakfast club. Good morning. Let's get to the rumas. Let's talk NBA Young Boy. This is the rumor report with Angela Ye. Well, NBA Young Boy has boosted the numbers on Clubhouse. Now, Clubhouse was super popular during a pandemic,

but the numbers have gone down. But according to academics, when Young Boy did that appearance on Clubhouse and joined and his entire fan base went on there and went from being sixtieth on the app store to being top five in a matter of days, it was number four. Yeah. I mean he has a lot of fancies and the most streaming artists out there on YouTube, yes, yes, and then he takes videos off YouTube, so yeah, I mean

everybody wants to hear what he has to say. And he's our house arrest, so it's not like you're going to see him out and about doing too much all right. Now, Houston Attorney has filed more than fifteen hundred cases on behalf of victims of the Astro World Festival tragedy. So the total number of plaintiffs in relation to the ten deaths and three hundred injuries is nearly twenty eight hundred

as of this point. We told you yesterday that Travis Scott has requested that one of the claims against him, Jack Enterprises and Cactus Jack be dismissed. That is his way of getting started of separating himself from these lawsuits and PowerBook two Ghosts has been renewed for a third season. So congratulations shout to fifty. I don't think anybody didn't think that's gonna happen. I mean, it's so popular and it's so damn good. So so they're going to start

shooting that in early twenty twenty two. All right, Tristan Thompson, who wants to get a gag order to silence his alleged baby mother, and so he basically filed an emergency petition yesterday asking the judge to issue a gag order in that case, barring the parties, which includes himself and Marilyn Nicholes, from speaking out about the case as it

plays out in court. So in the documents, he claims that she's been doing interviews with the media, leaking personal info, and even taking to ig and other social media that spread what he says are blatant lies about himself and his family. He's just a mess. He is a mess. I mean he's all right. Congratulations to Halle Berry. She did a speech during the celebration of Black Cinema. Stop letting awards measure our worth.

Goodness, gracious, ask his next eight hundred five A five one on five one is the breakfast Club? Good morning, the breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is dch Envy Angela, yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the breakfast club. It is time for asking ye, Hello, who's this? How did Janelle pottuffy? Janelle?

What's your question for you? How do you keep yourself balanced in the midst of a relationship, like when you're a mom, when you're a white everything else, Like how do you still stay grounded in you and what you're going on. Well, I think that, So talk to me about what the issue is. Like you're feeling like you're not being yourself, Like I feel like I'm being myself, but I feel like I don't have time to write, I don't have time to do at the school programs

like I don't. I don't make the time because I'm worried of making sure the house is situated. I'm worried to making sure my husband my daughter is situated. Like. I love them, so I put so much energy into them right, and I don't. I don't regret that. It's just how can I balance, you know, still having time for me? Like I've been getting up earlier and that's been helping, but even still, sometimes I feel like I get mixed up in the sauce and what I'm trying to do get put to the side, not by them,

but by me. Well, schedule it, just like you schedule everything else in your life. You know what time you got to pick the kids up, you know what time you got to do dinner, you know what time you got to be at work. You know it's schedule that time for yourself and stick to it and let everybody know. Hey, between six and eight on Tuesday or whatever days that you pick and have that time alloted for yourself. Pick that time and stick to it, put it in the schedule.

And I feel like you, but my thing is asking for that time, Like it's almost like I don't want to ask for it because I feel like, well, you don't have to ask. You, you're a grown up, you don't have to ask. You let them know. You let your husband know, and I'm sure that he does. He respect you enough to understand that you need that for sure, because he tells me to do that. I just don't

do it. Yeah, it's kind of you putting all this on yourself, and so I want to see you understand that you deserve it, you need it, you earned it. It's necessary for you to have your sanity, because even the reason why you're calling talking about balance is because you don't have it and you're talking yourself out of it.

And you've put all these responsibilities on yourself. But guess what, life will go on the world will go on and continue, and I don't want you to wake up and be like, you know two years now, like, man, I should have took that time that I needed. So I feel like it is. It's okay for you to do things for yourself. It's okay to be selfish. It's okay to have that time to look forward to. You just have to figure out how much time is that? Is it six hours a week? Is it? I'm gonna do one hour, you know,

three times? You just have to figure that out, schedule it, and stick to that schedule and keep that. No one's stopping you. All right? Yeah, have a good one too. Ask ye ain't on five A five one oh five one. If you need advice, relationship advice, and any type of advice, call her now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. I'm

gonna keep for real, there's some real advice with Angela. Yet, ask ye want to get everybody you see j Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlomne, the guy with all the breakfast club with in the middle of ask ye, Hello, who's this yo? Yo? What's going on this day? Drey? What's your question for you? How do our let this lady know that lover her. I can care for her, I could beat her, even helpful support her, but she's just not going for you.

Who Okay, Well, it's like ripping a band aid off, right, because the longer you stay with somebody who you know you don't want to be with and who your heart's not in it, the more of a disservice that you're doing to her. So if you care about her at all as a person, then the sooner you tell her, the better. And you know people always do that oh

it's not you, it's me type of speech. But I think you just have to be honest and be like, look, I don't see this going any further than where it is, and I want you to be happy and find your happiness. But I respect you as a person. I have so much love for you. If you need anything from me, let me know. But I don't see this progressing. Yeah. See the thing good, She don't want no support. If she don't have me, we have a you know, like you don't no matter what it is, I can help

out with her. Thing is like if look you, if I ain't your girl, then I don't want your health. Well yeah, and there's nothing wrong with that, And that might be what she needs to cut all ties because you're not doing any body a service by you know, you're helping her because you feel she's a good person. You feel guilty because you're not together. It would be better for you to just cut all ties because that's

the only way she'll be able to move on. I guess, I guess I gotta rip the band aid off for myself too. I appreciate you, so, yeah, absolutely, and I hope you find happiness. But like I said, you know, there's nothing worse than being stuck in a relationship that you don't want to be in because I can't imagine she wants to be in it. If you're not even wanting to be there, you can tell yeah, all right, I gotta make that. Gotta just gotta do what you have to do sometimes, Yeah, listen, a lot of the

right thing isn't always the easy thing. Then right around Christmas two shut up envy, damn it, man. If you I appreciate that, you right not. I don't even want to say nothing. And listen, don't nobody You're just gonna get them. Listen this first of all, this is when most people break up is around the holidays. But don't make her spend one more holiday and have another memory with the person that you're not going to end up with. So I can't either, girl, give her like a nice soap.

If that's a good five. You can send her whatever you want if you want to do that, if your heart, heart and gifts, if your heart is in it. Yeah you look, it is what it is. He don't want to be with her. I don't know, man, I'll just take it day by day, but I gotta say something. It can't wait until Christmas to say it. Yeah, don't do it. Don't wait till after Christmas. My goodness. All right, brother to it now? All right, appreciate it? All right? Ask ye eight, don't you five? Day five? One oh

five one? Now we got rumors on the way. Let's talk about Kanye and Drake. They had the Larry Hoover benefit concert happening. I'm gonna tell you where you can actually watch it. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it. Lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela, Ye Charlemagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rum us. Let's talk on Ye West. It's about Angela on the Breakfast Club. All right. Well, Amazon Music is going to

be bringing to you the Larry Hoover Benefit concert. It's going to be on Amazon Prime and Imax with Drake on December ninth. What is that tomorrow? That's tomorrow. So they said, this is the first concert Kanye has headlined in five years. That should be pretty interesting to watch. You can watch that. He's been doing concerts and performances the last year. Has he headlined? I thought that was his album listening. I guess you're right. Yeah, same difference. Okay, yeah,

that's a little different. It's not like he's been doing other songs when he's been doing his rings. You're right, all right, So um, Larry Hoover Junior talks about what exactly is going on. He did say that his father is a little bit worried about the show. He was on the Drea Oh Show. Yeah, he's aware of it. He's a little bit concerned. He doesn't know how it may affect him. He's concerned that it may affect him negatively because showing his influence. But his influence is positive,

all right, So we'll see. But it is happening Kanye and Draking. That's a huge deal for the two of them. I think that's dope. Yes, I think there's still some tickets available too, so definitely get your tickets. I know while our business partners season Flipping New Jersey, he satting out there. He's taking his daughter to see the show. So they're heading out there today. I might go to it because I'll be out there too, all right now, Juice World they tomorrow, By the way, it's Juice World Day.

Also just the FYI So HBO Max also shared the official trailer for Juice World into the Abyss over the weekend, and here is a snippet of that for you. He was so bad articulating his feelings. We ain't realized that's the way you're feeling. Because it's turned into so much beautiful art. It was hard to separate the two. You know, you're telling you whatever that you feel like you got anxiety. It's like you got depressions. They don't look at you

like you're crazy. That needs to change, and hopefully I'm one of those people that could bring that change. I'm talking is overwhelming, but this is what I asked for. Juice was a therapist for millions of kids, a voice of that generation. The documentary will be on December sixteenth on HBO Max. And in addition to that, like I said, tomorrow is Juice World Day. So that event is confirmed.

It will be at Chicago's United Center. It'll be a pre released listening experience for his upcoming postumist album Fighting Demons, and also an exclusive preview of the HBO documentary Juice World Into the Abyss. There'll be special guest performances and appearance. Yeah, my son loves Juice World in his music, so I'm sure he'll be checking it out, all right. And y Ko Cyrus So people were having things to say about him lexing when he was on Air Drake and sharing

that on social media. Here it is, oh my god, who's doing it? Like all right now? And after that people were like hating on him, I guess for posting on Air Drake. And here's what he had to say about that. If you were doing the same thing I was doing. Y'all take pict y'all do videos too? Who what y'all crazy? You better enjoy every moment. I mean, they need to stop it. People will be taking pictures.

We didn't dealt to comfort all. They take pictures within in first class he's in, he's on Air Drake, he gonna take pictures. Everybody would take pictures too, all right, right, And I'm sure Drake knew he was doing that absolutely, all right. Now, Jesse's small lat We told you he's been testifying in his own trial. So yesterday he was back on the stand and Jesse, just so you know,

we should have some type of resolution to this. Testimony concluded yesterday and it was more than five days of testimony. There were fourteen witnesses. The defense rested its case. The prosecution did not call any rebuttal witnesses, which really is his word versus the two brothers words. That's really what this case is. Yeah, but they do have there is

there's text messages and things like that. It just depends on how you interpret it correct because the cross examination continued yesterday and how his version of events is different than the events of the two brothers, Bola and Ola Osundairo to be fairly guilty should be without a doubt though, right, without guilty without a doubt. Yeah, if there's any doubt,

then yea eagle wal all right. So Jesse Smallette is saying that it was not a staged attack and that he did not recruit the brothers for a staged attack. He said he never told them to buy a red hat to look like Trump supporters or any items in particularly. He also said he never told them to do any sort of rehearsal of the alleged fake attack. If you recall, they were saying that they were driving around and JERRYS saw footage of the vehicle riding around smalltt neighborhood, but

no one ever got out. So Jesse's explanation is that he was phone texting about doing an interview and so he didn't want to do it right then because it was weird that Ola was there. So he told Jerrys it was easier to just use the interview as a reason. Well, now we can't really work out, so I'll drive you back. And they also said that they passed the staircase where the alleged attack unfolded three times during this drive around, and he said, well, it was around my apartment, so

that's why. Yeah, all that, you still got to prove without a doubt that that was the reason. I mean, because people do things, stupid things, and in the law you have to prove without a doubt, and you know there is doubt. There was. They didn't write on text like yeah, it worked, let's keep it moving on. There's no phone taps one thing that did happen though, Special Prosecutor Dan Webb was reading some things from off Instagram

and he kept using the N word. He was reading messages out loud that included the N word, and he kept doing it. So Smilett was like, Uh, can you just say the N word or spell the word out of respect for every African American here? And so I thought that was honorable, yeah, because that is like, why would Occasian prosecutor keeps saying no, sir, sir, Come on, sir, can you just say the N word? We know what you mean? All right? So yes, so I guess we'll

find out pretty soon what's going to happen. We'll keep you updated, all right, and that is your room of report, all right, thank you, miss Yee. Now I don't forget.
