In our community, there's a lot of kids, there's a lot of kids rejected because of this lust demon and this this whole false narrative of black men don't cheat. Listen, I don't know if it's comical, you know I'm saying, but I get the comedy in it, but you no comedy. I'm just sorry. Black men don't cheat.

And that's why I I outreach the kids that are rejected and have that same spirit upon them that when they feel when they go out in the world and they don't have a father, they don't have a mother, these these these crimes that are being committed, these things that are being committed in our community, there's a deep rooted thing that we have to dig up and and really look at people. And that's what's going on and in our community right now, it's rejection. Well, you're right,

Eight hundred five eight five one on five one if you need to hit this up right now? Was the breakfast club? Good morning? Did your time to get it off your chests?

I'm gonna get you off your chests. You're having a great day so far. So far, it's a great day. So many blessings. Um. I do have a jury business. It's called Jing Jing one hundred. But every single day I think about my brother that is in jail or because of police book cality over for ten years. And in the morning he's in jail because of police brutality. How that happened? He was about fifteen years old and um,

he was jumped by police. They took him to jail, they had him signing papers and even he didn't even have his parents with store. Damn. Oh my god, I'm sorry to confess to something that he didn't do it. God, I'm sorry about that, mama. And we can see how that can happen. Was if we've seen it happen many times, that's awesome. I even want to go visit him. And the police one't let us visit him? Is that allegious? And he was gover jail? Continue and well, I'm so sorry, mama.

Well what you my story going, my brother's stories. So I'm very happy about that. Okay, But thank you for calling the event with us this morning. Thank you so much. That was good day you too. Hello? Who's this you? What's everything? Hey? What's up? Trial? Hi? Trap? How are you doing? Room? Good? But how are you? I'm doing good? I'm doing good? What's up? Says? How you? Listen? I got a bone to pick with you? What's new? You love picking my bone? No, I'm sorry, I'm tired of you. Charlemagne.

I am tired of you talk. You know, you perfectly go out your way not to mention J Cole when you're talking about lyricists. You're always gonna bring up Rhapsody, you always gonna bring up Kendrick Lamar. You always go out way not to mention J. Cole, and I'm tired of it. That's not true. I just mentioned who I thoroughly enjoy, and I'm not saying that J. Cole is

not a lyricists. Those are just the two top people that come to the top of mind when I think a super lyricists in this game, I think a Cole, I think a Rhapsody, I think a Big Sean. That's what comes to my mind that I want you to know that Cold can Wash Rhapsody, Cold Can wash Ja Kata already duckt the slope on American Dreams, teacher, and jeez, just to listen to that song, my brother, my brother, you need to go listen to the Joiner with Rhapsody

and J Cole. Rahapsody clearly bodies Jay Cole on that record. Guy, as you think otherwise, you're really being biased. But Colin on Ka, I don't think Cole's on Kate a rhapsody level. But that's just my opinion. V JO. I want to clue box with Ja cole Man. You have a good you have a good day. Come on, Charlomi's supposed to say he's the tip nunk and say that what forget it? We did mention cold other day. We were talking about

Lyricis with a blue h what's her name, Lita? Why I started to say blue doctors know, I don't know who. Get it off your chests eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you're upset, you need to ven hit us up. Now. Is the breakfast Club? The breakfast Club? Morning? Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. Good morning now. If you just joined us with talking low Quisha, now

tell him about low quition. La Quisition is a movie about a white man who's pretending to be a black woman in order to get a job on radio where they're looking for a black woman radio host. All right, so when the cross show becomes successful, when he lands the job even though he's a white man. So let's playing snippet at the trailer right fast. It's brilliant, I know the biggest thing in radio. But I still need Louisa. What's your problem? Hi, Le's seat? It's oh, I ain't

talking to you, not the way you sound. Next dollar, you go, girl. You be good at her. If you're good to yourself, you can be good at others. Don't be too good because the police have come around. Is a pretty over old model for if you're asking an am a woman's on display. I think I might be a black woman trapped in a white man's body. So we're asking eight hundred five eight five one o five one, what are your thoughts? Let's start with you. Yeah, you're

a black woman. Yeah. I thought it was very offensive that he tried to. First of all, it sounds like a stereotypical what a white person thinks a black woman sounds like. And then the name Loquisia is that it just feels very like stereotyping what a black woman is. And it's already hard enough for black woman to get

these positions in these jobs. So the fact that you make a movie about a white man getting this job because he can't get it because he's a white man, it's kind of like, you know, we have some type of affirmative action going on, like let us have a job that is very few and far between for us. But people would say, it's a movie and you know, they did it in White Chicks with Marlin and Damon played h they were black and that played White Chicks. I think that's the exact opposite of what this is.

What do you think? Well, I mean, here's the problem. The problem is there is not a black woman behind this, all right, That white guy, what's his name, Jeremy Chaville, should have went to one of his black female comedian friends and let her be, let her be the face of this. You know, if he did that, I don't think it would be an issue because there's an unwritten rule that the oppressor can't make films like this about the oppressed, but the oppressed can do that to the oppressors.

And that's just the way it is. But I think that, you know, people got to stop being offended by fictional world like it's a movie, it's entertainment. Like I grew up on people pretending to be other people all the time, and Living Color made fun of everybody. Dave Chappelle made fun of everybody. You got White Chicks, remember Jahwanna Man where he pretended to be a woman NBA player. We would have never gotten Shena all Wanda in this generation.

You tell me tell Wanda where positive depictions of black women's kind of this is what a white man thinks the black woman sounds and you know, looks like and what her names should be. But there's a black comedian from the movie who is defending the movie, and here is what he has to say. If anyone's offended, I'm very sorry, But I wasn't trying to make any ans a mockery. And in fact, I don't think the trailer

does the movie any justice. I don't think any of the black people I worked on it though we were making a mockery. I think we're, at least for myself, well versed and our plight in our history and all of that. This is a comedy. It's a story about one guy who does the wrong thing for the right reasons and ultimately pays the place. I think you kind of have to withhold judgment until you see the movie.

All right, Well, let's go to the phone lines eight hundred five eight five, one oh five when we have Elvis on the line, Elvis good morning, Hey, good morning, what's up. What do you think about? What are your thoughts on the movie? I think it's great. I think it's a great idea. I think if the best idea for his white chick. Do you remember white chick? Good? I'm not afraid this movie sounds like a dope ida

y'all tripping? Well, he actually did. The writer and director did actually, and the guy who starting they did actually tag Marlon Wayans and say Lucretia meet white chicks, and Miley said please tagging me and this bsame. Well doesn't same to think so, But I mean, listen, white women could have been offended by white chicks. White women could have been like, we don't act like that, that's stereotypical. They could have done the same exact thing. Yeah, we're

just always impressing, um, you know, always marginalized. But yeah, that's the thing. It's an uten rule. It's an unwritten rule that that the oppressed can't I mean, the oppressor can't do that to the oppressed, but their press can do that to their pressent. This is the way it is. Hello,

who's this hi engineer? Hey, janniece, what are your thoughts on the Quisha I think it's offensive, Like number one, like just the name alone, like that's the name he chose to um, you know, like like that's the first thing he thinks he thought of when he thought of

a black woman. And and then I think you can't compare the white chicks because the white chicks, it was they were studying Pacific to Pacific white girls that they had to, like, you know what I mean, to tempt to be he decided to become a black a caricature. Hold on, y'all haven't even seen y'all have not even seen the movie yet, because guess what we do radio? And when we first start doing radio, what's the first who they who they tell you that we're talking to?

Tell me Angela Envy? Come on now, who who did they? Who do these consultants and stuff? Tell us were talking to Sania from New York who got two kids. Okay, watch his love and hip hop all damn day. So we don't know if in this movie this guy was talking to a radio consultant who told him the same thing. Yeah, but yeah, nobody want to talk, y'all. Some suck. So wait a second, I think from what we saw on the trailer, it looks like he didn't get this job when he applied as a white man, so he decided

to disguise his voice as a black woman. Makes up the name Loquishe We haven't but we haven't seen the movie. It's a trailer. We're basing it off of what we know. But in the movie, no, come on, man, that's a small see see. I don't know. I answer the question about who they tell us we're talking to on this radio, then tell us be talking to eighteen to thirty four year old African American woman is from New York I went to. I don't know if, but they're definitely for me,

the New York of Brooklyn. That's what we was only watch love and hip hop all the time. That's what we was only in New York. You know that was nine years ago we did that. I'm just sadicated now, so just saying that that doesn't no longer apply to what we're talking about. I think there's a difference between a white man pretending to sound and talk like a black woman than knowing who your audience is. Were you ever offended by and wander when when Martin used to

do he really is a black man? That actually created those characters. But it's still a stereotype of black women. From what I've seen and from what I know about this, I think it's just different to see a white man pretending to be a black woman than it is to see a black man doing what he did. And also, Martin's a comedian. How do we see those guys not a comedian? All right, well, let's open up the phone.

Five one oh five one. See. I'm torn because I do feel it's disrespectful and it's like it makes fun of our coaching in front of our black queens. But also it isn't it's jokes, like we all have jokes like liver color. With jokes he made fun of every body and liver color they made for the gay people, they made for the black people, they made for the white people. It was funny then, but is it too sensitive now where we can't laugh? I don't think. I think I think he should have had a black woman.

I think if it was this whole thing, but I think that this just sounds like such a mockery of what it is to be a black woman. That's true too. Does that make it better if it was a black woman? There's still making a mockery of a black woman. All eight on, I'm a black woman radio house host. Do I need to be named Loquisha and talk like that? Eight five eight five, one on five one call us

now as a breakfast club. Go morning the breakfast Club, but morning everybody is DJ mzy Angela Yee Charlomagne the guy we all the breakfast club. If he just joined us, we're talking little quish up. Now, what's a little quish about you? It's a movie about a white man who decides that he wants to get a job as a black woman radio host because that's what the ad was looking for, and so he decides to name himself Loquisha and adopt what he thinks sounds like a black woman

and how an opinionated black woman was sound. Let's go to the hold on, Hold on, Sean, we got coca on a line. Go, No, this is Devin. Oh I'm sorry, Devin. What are you saying? Devin? I don't understand why people was mad because it sounds just like that movie Starting to Bother You. I didn't see that out No, nothing, not really, because Sorry to Bother You was about the black guy adopting the white voice to sell more as

a telemarketer. I guess I gone, what I did tell the mark you know, I had to definitely, I definitely had my white voice on Sean from Pelco Fuel. How are you doing today, sir? Awesome? Yeah, it's really different because if you would say as as a white person, right, if you wanted a job and tell the marketing as a white man, could you be like, hey, my name is the question, I'm trying to get this job, then what would happen in real life? Okay, I don't know

about that. That was kind of the opposite. Hello, who's this Keith? What's something man? We're talking about? Lo Keisha? What do you think? What are you doing? Problem with that? Man? You know, they just really did what the Black claimsman was like kind of like that same concept, like, well, Homeboy was trying to uh change up its voice to be a white person to catch somebody or whatever like that sink scenario. Right, I never saw Black Claiman. I

don't see Black Claimers were good man. That was a good movie. But they had a recent movie like that same scenario. Charloman was right too. White chicks, Yeah, a matter of stuff. But you have a problem if after seeing this movie, white man went around talking like they were la cuisia. No, we do the same thing to them all time. But it's I would I wouldn't want a white person to come up to me and be like, hey, sister girl, I hate when people do theyn't do that now, Hey,

it's intensive now you ever seen the Empire? Listen? The problem is is an unwitten rule that the oppression can't make films. You know about the oppressed, But the oppress can do that to the oppress. That's just the way it is. Whether it's a man doing that to a woman, a strap person doing that to a gay person, a white person doing that to a black person like you, just it never looks good. Think you think a white man could know what it's like to be a black woman. No,

and accurately portrays that. But I'm sure that's the whole point of the movie. I'm sure by the end of this movie, his whole spot gets blown up. I'm sure by the end of this movie, his whole spot gets blown up. Mike, Yeah, Hey, hey, what's up, bro? What do you what are you? What are your thoughts on Loquisha? All right? I got I got three points. First of all, when I saw this thing, I'm like this movie where this man ninteen eighty five. I couldn't believe that someone

put this on two thou and nineteen. One of my biggest deployment was when you see The Black Game, the movie. I can't believe any of them read the script and showed up for this cat. I think sieve that you know, they would endure something like this. I think that that was a huge pro problem. But honestly, the biggest plot hole is how many black women named Loquisha are getting hired without a face to face interview. Right, that doesn't happen. Ever,

we haven't seen the movie. Well, that's what happens in the movie. He doesn't have a face to face interview. That's why he got hired because it didn't. I'm not about to sit here and try to figure out a fictional movie. It's because that is that's part of the plot, is that he gets hired without them seeing him. But no, but I'm saying it's it's a movie. I'm not gonna pick a part a movie like we know it for entertainment purposes. We know it's fictional. Hello, who's this Mica Michael,

what's up, bro? What what are your thoughts? Man? Well, I want to see if people keep that same energy when it comes to other movies, if they're gonna be disgusted or something like Dinner. You can't watch like The Black CLANSO Man or a White Ship or something like that, when when it's for one, it's a comedy, so and inferious about it and too it's I mean, it's a movie. You can't take something that that serious. Yeah, nobody defends black women. It don't have nothing to do with that.

This is a movie like you get remember that old movie, Remember that old movie in ninety six with Whoopi Goldberg called The Associate. We've seen Eddie Murphy play white people like listen. The problem with this whole thing is they should have had a black woman behind it. It should have been a black woman executive producer. It should have been a black woman. Black women were writing on it, like. That's the biggest issue here to me is that this

white guys at the forefront of this. If they would have had a black woman attached to this, it wouldn't even be an issue. That's that's why highback the black women. You give a black woman some coin and then make it make it seem okay. No, it's more than just having a black woman behind that disrespect. It's a movie. If black women are finding a disrespectful and don't like it, then it's disrespectful. I'm not a black woman, so I can't sit here and tell you what I mean. Some

people are okay with it, some people aren't. What I go see this movie? Now? We shouldn't We shouldn't add no more reruns of Living Color. We shouldn't ad no more reruns of Chappelle Show. We shouldn't add no more white chicks, no more do you want a man? We shouldn't add no more Martin? Because he did. She ain't like what are we talking about him? I just think it's a lot harder. It's not as easy as saying.

For us as a black woman, it's not very often I'm like, Hey, we're looking to hire a black woman who is sassy, opinionated to take this job. And then a white man who has a name like who makes up a name like Loquisha and then starts talking in what he considers to be a black woman sassy rhetoric comes against a job it's weird to me. That's a but to me, it's weird. All right, guys, what's the mo I was to me? I wasn't cracking up when I've seen it. The moral of the story is, y'all

promoted the hell out of this white man's movie. My God, he's gonna kill at the box office on Netflix, wherever the hell this is coming out. I doubt it. Now, you crazy? This movie about the pop? It's about the pop right now? Again? That's all right? Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes, let's talk about Hey, you mentioned Whoopie go Berg. Well, she has a new venture that she's working on, and let's tell you what it is. It's about inclusivity, all right. We'll get into that next.

I graduated from Florida State with a communications degree, and one thing we was taught is to be a reporter, how to repair. So a lot of times when you're giving a rule

of report. You know, charlote man, have a follow up question for you, and you're like, well, I don't know, I don't know. That's just what they saying. What I read that. Yeah, I mean, leg I can't make these things up because I get live. But for that, you know, but I had like a like said super follow up questions.

You love Martin, are all right? We got more with Michael Blackson when we come back, don't move. It's a breakfast club the morning and everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. We have Michael Blackson in the building. Ye, a lot

of funny ass jokes about people. Charlottagne's gotten blocked by some people. Have you ever gotten blocked by celebrities? Yes? Actually, gay Leslie Jones blocked me. She did. I'm shocked she blocked me because I actually gave this with her first. I we did a little independent movie. In fact, I wasn't one that called her to do the movie Repot. They never be seen repos It's a Masterpi movie shot out with an iPhone hating back. Why well, you know I go hard on. I forgot was something I said

on her page. But I got her in Repot called gave my moment. I first gave a call about Repot because Masterpie, you got the script. He said, hey, Mike, you know this is your movie. Do what you want to do? And I read the script. I said, O kid, I need I need an ugly girl. So I called Leslie stupid. Come on, I called Leslie, Lizzie, I need an ugly girl for this scene. Hold up, so you're calling me You're not that cute when for the scene. But that wasn't what it was about. It was late.

And then later on I got in my other movie called I did another a movie called Coney Montana where I spooped Scarface, and in this movie I completely went opposite of Scarface. Carface had a beautiful sister everybody wanted. In my movie, I had an ugly sister nobody wanted, so of course I had to play that scene too. Oh my god. And then now she's blown up, sat in our life doing her thing, and then it was something went on. I forgot. I made a comment and

she didn't like it and she blocked. So all of that she was okay with. But then you made I'm in a comment and I'm shocked because I'm a weird comedian. We don't. She didn't take nothing personal, but she still is a woman identity. Then you can't keep calling a woman ugly over and over, Mike. And then remember she took a break from social media because she couldn't take it anymore of people harassing her. Well, she's ugly. Stop that guy's crazy. Man, Maybe she'd call it and see

how she's doing on Instagram. You think Leslie, don't she's funny? Now you're sure you don't want to apologize to Leslie for calling her ugly Unlessie's my girl. I love her like a sister. Leslie, You're not that ugly Scott's crazy man, You're actually beautiful. She's not ugly, she just she just not anybody's type. It's a difference. I saw you on Instagram talking people to stay off drugs, and that was a real post post for a real place. What happened

my son? Really? Yeah? You drugs? No? Not, he was I've never talked about this. This is the first time ever. I'm from Africa. We don't get high. I grew up with absolutely nothing. He had no father in my life. My mother raised me as a single mother in Philadelphia. We came in when I was a teenager. I was able to go to school, go to work, stay away from the streets and did all that and thank god I'm who I am today. You know. So I probably left him his mom who I was married to. His

mother a black woman, Charlotte Jermaine Jackson. I wasn't judge marriage was one more Black American woman in Philadelphia. When I was young, twenty two twenty three years old. We had a son. He's now he just turned twenty one, and I moved to Cali. By five years ago. When I moved to Cali didn't bring my son, and I knew. I'm on the road a lot, and I'm a busy dad, and I'm like, you know, let me get this kid

what I never had. You know, I'm not gonna be there every day watching everything he's doing, but I'm just gonna make sure that just my presents are known. No, he has a father, and he have whatever you want. These are things that I never had. This kid was a wilder. He was just even from from a little kid, he was bad. I remember when I moved to Delaware, where I have a house in Delaware, I had to move with me. Eighth grade, he beat us from kid. He messed up, beat up a white kid, and white

parents press charges. Son, end up going to court, caught for a fight, fight, end I'm getting kicked out of school, end up going to one of these bad schools where you have to go to for like a year. They send the bad kids that when they send the bad kids that. So when that happened, I was pissed. Send his aspect to his mother in Philly, you know, and his mother's the strict mom. Like I say, we'll get you together, we get together. You come back and come

with me. So he got it together, you know, And I said, when I moved to Cali, I said, you know, you come to Cali, come to high school here. Going to school's problem problem problem teachers is a call and complained that he's in school, not responding, just hide whatever. Right before we graduated, had a long talk with him. I said, listen, you don't get it together, we'll see you back to Philly. He agreed to get it together, graduated Bama BMW for his graduation and send his kids.

Say you want to go to college locally, which is never a good idea to stay close to your friends. Next you know this kid is in college, got him an apart man. He dropped out without me knowing. Are you still paying for school? And he's just not going going paying for school, He's not going paying for his apartment. Thinking his man just getting high, smoking all kinds. Who

knows what he spoken? I mean, later on we found that it was like K two, Yeah, yeah, I don't know whether K two So that after that synthetic weed, I guess it's probably he's smoking is because it's undetectable. Maybe despite why to do it? I have no idea. I don't know I don't know about drugs. My thing. If you're gonna smoke, we get the room and weak. I had no idea for a very long time, you know. And a couple of times he'll come over to visit me.

He's acting a little weird, but I never really caught onto it because I don't hang around drug addicts. One he had he had roommates where he liked, so eventually he had he got into a fight with roommate. Roommate called the cops and he said he had to leave. So he comes to my place. I had to leave the department. If you pay for apartment, whip half pay for half his room and paid for the other half.

Left the apartment. Came to my place and like acting really weird, and I almost got into a fight with him. And sometimes, you know, you think, because you're a parent, you could beat this kid, that this was strongest he had me ham the hell downs, I'm still your father. You always still think you could beat up your kids. Right, How big is he? Man? He's Bobby about five eleven

maybe one eighty, okay, and I'm five eleven eighty. This comment, I couldn't get the ba And guess what any African would do when there losing a fight, What do you do? Grab your spell? Now you bite the mother? I bet, and that's how I was able to get him off. Called the cops and whatever. That's where I caught the cops. I could have caused an angel of money. Not called the cops. I actually called the security. Where I live is very secure building. I called the security today and

they figure. They said, you don't want to call the cops. You know you don't want this again get out in public. So I called his mom. I said, I know, I'm not sure what's from this kids, something's not right. Come and get him. Got her ticket to take him back to Philly, you know, and I kept asking how things going. She's kept blind to me, but how things were going? Find out this guy with like a mental institution off your son son one time he was in one place.

He escaped from downtown Philly, ended up at my old house where my brother lives now, which is by the airport, with no shoes on. Right. That's why I was in LA when this happened. So my brother and I never told me I'm good and I ain't crossing eighty nine. Why you geting tough? It was. It was always a year continued ome. Sorry. So my brother calls me, said, Mike is here, and I never told my brothers and

what's going on. So I was like, listen, just keep him there, let me try to reach his mother and his mind. His mother never told me that he was in mentorhome. She was just sugarcoat and everything. So you know, I called his mind that they said, Mike just ran away out of an institution and he's no shoes on. Make mant it to like thirty minutes outside of where he was, with no money, no nothing, how to hell.

Then she then she finally broke down and told me everything's been going on with him in the last three four months, how bad it is bad. So um, I stopped, told my brother just keep him there till overnight. If he can make a long social the guy, he finally would have escaped my brother. This guy was missing for a whole day, Harry. I mean, that was probably the first of my shared tears in probably twenties something years,

A whole day and a half. So I remember the next morning, I had to catch a flight from la to Atlanta, and I got a call from my block. Mumba was like, let me just pick this up. I picked it up. It was a police officer saying that you have a son named Michael is that this kid was hanging behind a bus and that's how, you know, the bus driver called the police and that's how he got caught. And then from there we said were to get him into like a place and thank god, he's

like a better person. All right. We got more with Michael Blackson when we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy we all the Breakfast club was still kicking it with Michael Blackson. Now, how's your son doing? Now? He's got just want him. Yesterday I was gonna ask you. I went him yesterday. He's a little bit, you know, a little a little bit off, a little bit to me,

you know, to say to ruin. You you know people who have never recovered from try and drugs and just went completely crazy and never have recovered. That that's good that he's yeah, that he's almost there. But you know, he's not listening to me. You know, he wants to come back to California. I'm like, you know, you lost your privilege. I said, if you want my help, you have to listen to me. I've laid you. I give you life the easy way. Now it's the hard way

from here on. I told I said, listening, I want you to go spend a month in Africa. My mother just went back home. Go spend a month in Africa. Clear your mind. You know you might not want to come back after that. I said, go and do that. When you come back, let's find a trade. If you don't want to go to college, it's not your thing, Let's find a trade. You know, smart things you want to do. Then say you don't go to Africa. We just had this conversation for somebody who's never been I'm

sure he's been. I took him when as a kid. Yeah, I took him out a few times. Yeah, that's what you know. So I was like, listen, I need to see your commitment to get in better. Right, you don't want you don't You have to go my lead. You got to follow my lead if you want my help. If not, His mom lives in part of Philly. You have no money. He wanted twenty dollars from me. I couldn't even get my son twenty dollars, and I had a pocket for the money. I'm saying you might. I'm

I'm I'm coming to them one hundred percent. For a fact. You're not doing nothing. You couldn't get a dollar from me, So why not put him back in like a rehab or something and let him he said, he said he don't, he said, he's fine. I said, you're not gonna go to Africa's being a village chasing chickens, and Africa's beautiful. Africa's beautiful ally that you know, And I wouldn'ten saying I wouldn't have you go to like my beause my mother's real straky be Yeah. I got homies there to

have mansions. You know this jam you go work out, you could just you know, just get away for a month. Africa it's like any other modern civilization. He just afraid. He thinks if he goes up there, I'm gonna take his passport and throw them away and then his ass can come back. And the reason I even put up that message to the other than on Instagram, I'm so crazy,

you guys brought that up out of nowhere. You know, I was hanging out and at the poop of where I live, and I saw these kids just looking all happy and normal. I'm like, damn, my son was like this two years ago, you know, And you know that's why I was like, you know, let me try to say what the kids bout, you know, bringing this up and talking about it. You know, No, it is crazy because you know you're a comedian. Everybody know Michael Blackton is always joking, so you never know when you to

take you serious. But I can tell this really has had an impact. Hurt said, you've never done drugs a day in your life, never and never smoke weed. I'm didn't help only because and either smoke weeds. Some bitches woman make that smoke. It met my wearing. You're not, but I'm smoking. I never held. I'm like Bill Clinton, I've never held in my life. I've never been high.

I mean, I know when I went and saw him at at the Crazy Home, you know, he mentioned, you know he saw Jesus or something. I said, Well, I had a bottle water, I said, turning to the wine, and then turn the wines, and you saw the devil that was

Do you ever think when you're going through something because they're like, this is gonna be really funny for later on? Oh yeah, I'm And I tell every girl I dated or one our way, I said, listen, once it's over, you'll be part of my act. So the snow Bunny is in my act already now, Mikey's I'm writing material right now for that little Nige form. The pain you cost me,

Man, sitting come to your shows, not sitting in front. I got you like your chance. It's the breakfast club. Good. I'm gonna take a sip of water, okay. Talk here Today goes to a forty five year old man named Chris Morgan. Forty five years old, all right. He's from Long Island, New York. And Chris Morgan is five feet tall.

That's it. Five feet tall, all right. The average height for men in America over twenty years old it's five feet nine inches. So Chris is nine and she's below the national average. And the poor guys aren't sure about it. It's actually very sad to watch because I'm short. Actually, I guess I'm average height. I clocking around five nine, you know, got you ain't a damn five nine means give about five four? I said, around maybe like five eight,

all right. It's just something that's honestly something I never thought about it, all right, Okay, maybe because I grew up listening to the five dog resting Piece when fight said, I'm all that, and then some short dog and handsome all right, as I always felt about myself. I hearing Fife call himself to five foot or or the five foot Assassin, or listening to Easy East say my height,

don't fight. Remember that, that's right, myight, don't fight, damn it, all right, those songs instilled self confidence in me as a young man, because I realized I wasn't alone. Not to mentioned, it's not like I was looking up to everyone. Most people with my height are not that much taller than me, And if they were taller than me, it's not anything I ever thought about, not to mention. Okay, Back in my thought days, when I was far from the faithful blackmailer than I am now, tall women used

to love my little sword off ass. So when it came to height, I never understood what I was missing, all right. I never understood the struggle people have of being vertically challenged. So I can't relate to you little fun sized fools and your securities about being built like a mini bar. Now, depending on who you ask, Chris Morgan is either bite size bully or a pint size punk. It's all about perspective, and from up here we probably

can't see things the way he does down there. But Chris Morgan was in a bagel shop called Bagel Boss, where he decided to lash out or but being repeatedly rejected by women because of his five foot stature. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to Inside edition for the report police. Everywhere I go, I get the same smirk with the fighting wood. A customer just loses it because he says women rejects him over his size. Why is it okay for women to say, oh,

your five feet are dating sites? You should be dead. That's okay you here. Nobody women in general has said it on a dating site. If you say, I'm making it up? Now, what happens when another customer tells him to calm down, dude, want to step outside? I'm about straight out that. Somebody else tells him to cool it. Can't attack them, Oh my god. Back on his speed, he aims his anger at the female staff working the counter. The crazy video took place here at bagel boss in

Vashor along Island. We've learned his name is Chris Morgan. How do you sound like Joe Pesci? Joe short too, but more confidence to that guy. Listen, man, women women, women, women, women, women can give them all the confidence in the world and then give us all the insecurities in the world. All right, The male ego is already fragile. But if Chris was getting action from the ladies, he would not care about his height. If he was a peewee size playboy,

he wouldn't be thinking about his height at all. It's not his lack of height that's hurting his feelings, it's his lack of women. You can be the size of an opulo play and still provide orgasms Like this is the level of insecurity that Chris might need to go see a therapist about. Chris, do you know the serenity prayer? Chris? Do you know the serenity prayer? I repeat, Chris, do you know the serenity prayer? If you don't, I'll say it for you. I have time to say it because

it's short. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference. Chris Morgan, God made you a lowrider, all right, it is what it is, the problem is you don't have it. And however, all right, in life you always have to have a However, remember when Biggie Small said black and ugly as ever, however, all right, Biggs, however it was he was Gucci down to the socks, rings and watch filled with rocks. Not

to mention he was charismatic and funny. He had game. Chris, you have to be a Google with game, all right, that's how you get the women. You have to find out. However, Chris, all right, house mouse, do you hear me? You have to find out? However, all right, now, I don't relate to people like Chris Morgan. You are really making us shortstops look weak. Some people are bill mugs, some people of shot glasses. That's the way God designed it. That's just the way it is now. Chris spoke the inside

Editions Alison hallis here what he had to say. Do you think that a bagel shop is really the place to take out all of this anger? With all of these strangers in public, like innocent people around, why not what do you mean take it out? And you right feel like I didn't admit shooting him something. He was quickly done talking. You know what, I don't really no offense. I don't really like you that much. So this interview

is over. Clearly, clearly this guy never got his bagel all right, because he sounds hungry, alright, angry, angry, little hobby alright, egotistical evil ewalk all right, Chris, listen to me. Arrogance is the camouflage of insecurity. And we all see through your camouflage, sir. All right, Chris, if you're out there listening, I know you're in Long Island. This is where our headquarters are here in New York City, Pile one or five one. Uh, this has never happened before

in the breakfast club. I'm gonna actually play a tune for somebody, you know what I'm saying. I feel like I feel like if Chris was the call into this radio station, he would retrust this record. I wish I would call it. Please give Chris Morgan the biggest he hare. It's actually not the biggest he hart. That's actually the shortest he got technically by time, because I got to Cathy Griffin one to remy mall one. I got to Chelsea handling one the Hamleton. That's actually the shortest he

how we got. So let me rephrase that. Please give Chris Morgan the shortest he how we have, oh man and good time. And that guy that threw him on the floor of the bagel shop, that was wrong. That was to you didn't have to do that to man. No, seriously, that I was all jokes aside. That was just an abuse of you didn't have to do that. I'm serious. That was He should be arrested for endangering a child. I'm calling that was wrong. That was wrong. He don't

have to get that. Just give the man a wengy. Man. You ain't gotta throw him on the floor. Just give him a wedgie. That's all you gotta do. Angry him on the fans. You can't get him. Why can't you? That's tryld molestations. You know 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. Yes, sir, Andre Iguadala, welcome back, sir. It's good to be back. Man.

You should be somewhere relaxing after that long ass season, but you out here promoting your new book, first book, First One, First six, Many Memoir. Why now? Man, I think it was just good timing, especially with the run we've been on. We were kind of the poster childs of the league as far as you know, people really loving us and what we did for the game and then being on the oppositie of that, and it hate you for having too much success. So um, just for me,

it was more therapeutic. And I had a lot of young kids, young guys in the league asked me for advice, and it's kind of surprising, you know, you get people that look up to you, but you're still playing and still you're still competing against them, so um, all those things. Uh, I feel like it's kind of a way to get back to the because it's a new age athlete coming up, especially for the black athlete. You know, we're being exported it more than ever ncuba Au and kind of how

I navigated through the whole thing. It's kind of like there's no navigational tools for guys to kind of, you know, get to the league. They're kind of being pimped throughout the whole process from you know, age a labman when they're let's talk about the navigation part. You were saying, you know, we get exploited a lot, you know, and a lot of us have sons and daughters that want to play basketball and it's a tough process. So what

do you suggest that people do? You know, because the only thing we know is AAU and the high schooling to the college, and is we never get anything. Well, I've had many conversations and my son plays ball. It's funny, he's at Duke camp right now. Wow, you know, and he grew up different than I did. He grew up different than we did. And privilege, right, And the one thing I give to the kids and the parents that grew up similar to the way we did, is you gotta do it fun. You got to do it because

you love it. And I always say, these kids nowadays are living their parents' dreams correct and that's what always to rail them or no matter where they get either they don't make it, the parents to rel them another reason why they didn't make it, or when they do make it, parents are the reason why they're having mental issues, or they're spending all the money or they're going broke or they're having all the family problems is because you know,

they did it for all the wrong reasons. So for me, it's like, listen, just let the kid's gonna make it or not make it regardless, Like you have nothing to do with that, Like you can't support them as a parent, and that's going to help them mentally. But you know, there's there's a lot of things that we can do differently, and exploiting the kids that's the worst reason to get them into the sport. So creating our own spaces. We

talked about that a lot. And I even look at colleges and I look at you know, just imagine if we had one star even HBCU forty million dollars. Slaves spoke about that in that book. What if the five five all went to historically black university or college instead of going to Michigan and it changed the course of history. You know, they did it with black socks and black nikes.

They could have changed the course of history. And I was just talking one of the interns she was talking about, you was talking about, say, I wish I would have took a visit to Howard. Oh black people, we have a tendency to think white ice is cold, right, But that's just the way we see it. Like we grow up, you know, growing up out saw Michael Jordan the Fast five. I was like they were like gods to me. So it was like, you think, that's the only way that

you can go to make it. And David West, close teammate of mind, he's trying to change the trajectory or the course of what we can do. He's got the he got a league where instead of going to college through the NC DOUBLEA, you can go through this league where they give financial services as far as financial education. You can actually make money off your likeness. It's just a different avenue. They give you a percentage of your jersey right right, right right, But they're teaching you all

these twols as well. Because that's one thing I talk about in the book is we all were exported in an NC DOUBLEA, especially if you went to a big school. I went to the University of Arizona, and I remember seeing the report the larger schools in terms of revenue basketball team fought to the school We were number two. And the reason why this the athletic department ran was because of the basketball team. And then it was funny.

I would go to practice and then the volleyball coach would be like, coach, you know, you guys got called blanche on the practice time. I know who pays the bills around here. But I would go a week when I had like ten dollars and I had to make ten dollars last food for that week. It was like, and you an athlete, My jersey was in the store, like number twenty four was in the store. I would think it would feed y'all, just to keep y'all healthy.

Where they change the rules now where they getting limited food, But when I was there, you only got food on game days or they got food sometimes at the practice whatever. But other than that, you know, he was on and then but you got the head of the Double A. You know you can look up the salary right now. He's a millionaire. You know. So it's just it's just a system in the how it's been so far. Yeah, and the book you talk about the racial tension that

exists in the NBA. I would never think that there's any racial tension in the NBA. Like, where does the majority of that tension come from? Well, I think the NBA is very forward thinking, one of the every year's ranked the most tech for sports league in the world. And then the NBA is one of a marketing powerhouse.

You know, they don't always know how to market the right things, and if there are any issues or there might be a controversy, they're really good at trying to stay ahead of it and h not cover it up because I think David not David Stern, but Adam Silver does a good job of trying to have the dialect or dialogue with the players. I could text him right now here text me back, but it's still weak. The places we come from are a lot different than our arena fan base, and you can go look at the

Ghost State Warriors. When I first got there, we were kind of up and coming, and I always say we priced our real fans out. But but now you look at it, who's Who's Our fan basis Silicon Valley, which is the richest community in the world. And you saw it in the finals, Kyle Lowry goes into the stands the yeah, the guy grabs him and you read his lips, get out of here, you like, And then I don't see what happened with Kyle because I know Kyle from when I was in Philly, he was at Villanova, and uh,

he's going crazy. So that's what community say racial tension. You just like who just felt privileged, like he could just do it like dudes worth two point four billion. Yeah, I'm pretty sure if if the guy looked at Kyle was a different color, he wouldn't like you can kind of tell was he wasn't in his right state. But at the same time, that's him reacting naturally, like like

that was kind of crazy. It was whacked that he was only bad for a year two Now, well it's more it's more to it, like as far as uh, it's interesting that he vested in the team, like, oh, that's gonna be going too. But these crazy valuations. The price of a ticket to the games are crazy. The average price of a Finals game in Toronto was like five thousand. That's crazy. So who's able to come to

the games? Yeah, I get what you're saying. Yeah, so it's all of you got all of these kids, especially probably in the hood, who really loved basketball, who can't even come watched their favorite team of players flaw. I wouldn't say that's a racial tension, but that's who we're performing in front of. But at the same time, you know there's that two sides gifting the curse. You know, our salaries are the reason why we can make so much money is because you know, ticket sales or the

people that spend money on the crazy suites. We have a new arena growing up and then they've sold already two billion dollars in ticket sales from that arena. Arenas not even open yet. No people are saying that the Warriors are over, that the dynasty is over, right, what do you think you got two men? Dawn? Maybe next year Clay would be back soon. Katie would be back to form if he signs. But he'll be back to form, okay, but um, hopefully he'll be back. He might be out

all next year. But we saw what we did in the finals, you know, we just right there and we were like, really, we had three guys break something and we still had an opportunity. We were one possession away from pushing it to a game seven. So we'll be fine. Um, big free agency this summer, so we'll be at all. Right. We have more with andre Iguadolla from the Golden State Warriors. When we come back don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.

Good morning morning. Everybody is cj Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Andre Iguadalla from the Golden State Warriors. Charlomagne, how do you stay mentally healthy? Because you talk about your battle with insomnia and the book and I know you're the vice president of the National Basketball Players so yeah, yeah, yah, y'all put an emphasis on mental health. So how y'all gonna keep players mentally healthy? And how do you keep

yourself mentally other? So for me, it's just, uh, I read a lot. I want to tell you. STEP's a big fan of the book. He listened to your audio book. Oh wow, Yeah, he's a huge fan of it, which was weird. I didn't think he would. But anyway, who because I'm so I'm such a heathen. Y'all so different. Yeah, because you don't, y'all just so different. I was like, Step you listen to that? He was like, yeah, man, that, Joe was amazing. You read it, right, You read your

audio man? Yeah, he was talking about that. He was like, it's better to read your audio book. You can you get it. It's better for the story. I didn't get a chance to I did the introduction of my audio book, but I didn't get a chance to read. You didn't have time with the finals and you get nominated for a Grammar if you can about that kind of right, yeah, yeah, okay. But with the mental health this um for me. He was reading. So I had it insomnia problem through college

just from stress. Like I had agents I talk about in the book, I had agent telling me, like agent saw me after the game, was like, I want to talk to you. I'm like, for what I want to represent you. I'm like for what he was like the NBA. I'm like, I'm going to NBA. Like I didn't know because I was in college. What I'm hearing every day is you got to get better. You're not good enough yet, you gotta get better. And what I found out was a coach was trying to hold me back mentally so

I can stay longer. I stay longer. We obviously gonna be a much better team. You got NBA players playing on your team. You're gonna be better. But I didn't know that. So then I was fighting between I'm like people approaching me about the NBA, Like I never thought I would go to the NBA, especially this fast. So I wasn't sleeping like four or five o'clock in the morning. I'm just up with the anxiety. He said. It was insanity in the book, but it had to be some

sort of anxiety. And it's both right, but you don't know that, you just know you up. I can't sleep. But that stuck with me until my whole career, Like it stuck with me until I got to the Bay, and I finally was like, you know what, I know, I got this issue, and that's a big problem in our community. Were scared to talk to somebody about anything. So I saw a sleep therapist and I basically did a study on human body and how you need sleep.

Sleep is like the most important thing of course absolutely me finding out that I had insomnia changed like my whole life as far as lifestyle and eating and all that stuff. And then that turned into yoga, and then from there I started meditating. And like once you find one thing, it kind of it's a trickle down effect

where you get everything else is in line. But the hardest part is getting guys to embrace it or to even do it, Like we did a team exercise where we did yoga, and the players when they first got there like, man, I'm not doing a yoga that's stupid. But when they start doing it, like yo, that was that was like relieving, Like that was that was dope. And then you just gotta hold yourself accountable. And I want to do it. So for us, I think we do things. We got to find a way to make

things cool in order for us to do it. So you know, we're working on it. And that's another thing I struggle with is sometimes like a corporation will have a philanthropic and endeavor, but it's not true. It's all for publicity. So I'm a big fan of Adam Silver is our commissioner, and we always talk about mental health.

But it's like I don't want to just talk about it, like I really want to tackle it and get every player to get some type of help in any type of way, because we all need it, especially the ones that come from our backgrounds. And you know, guys who's all the money, it's not because they made four decisions. It was just the people around them, and the mental health plays a large part in them losing all their money.

But I think that's not knowing as well too. You know, I always say that, you know, coming from a lot of our environments, we just don't learn certain things. Right. Our parents work thirty forty years of their life and they sit back and retire. They don't know about investing. They don't know about anything, you know. So for us is just we don't have the knowledge a lot of times, and we're afraid to admit what we don't know. And we think we're gonna get taken advantage of if we

admit we don't know. That's true, right. You know what's interesting about the mental health aspect of it, right because the reason I meditated, because I'm always looking for stillness. I feel like NBA players would would be the best at that because y'all got to block out all the board when y'all on the court, y'all gotta block out the crowd. When y'are shooting free throws, you gotta block out the crul like y'all just gotta be focused in

that moment. I would think it would be easy for y'all to get focused in meditation or the opposite, where our only pieces when we're on the court. Wow, you know what I mean, that's the only piece you get.

Like the family is a tricky thing, man, Like that's the majority of the downfalls, especially when you got money, when you're the person in your family that's a millionaire, right, And talking to the white players like I think I've Kyle Cover had a big article about it, and he was like, you know, y'all, you guys an understand what these guys are going through. We were teammates. I remember

he and I were in a meeting team. We're talking about finances, like one of those mandatory meetings, and I was like, you know, I take care of my mom, my brother, cousin, uncle, grandma, my grandma house, blah blah blah. He was like, you pay your parents bills? Why would you do that? Really? Because that's not that's not then the culture. So there was like he was like, why would you pay your mom's bill? And I was like, you don't pay He was like, no, why would I

do that? Like he was like what do you mean? Like he was so lost to it, but we're looking at him like you don't help your mom out? You know. So when we are on the court, that's a lot of guys. Piece. I just with the Aisha Curry stuff, because that came out during the finals about I guess she did the Red Table talking you, and she was like she wants to feel special, and everybody was hey, big head, and they was posting pictures of Drake and her and hardening her and big How did he deal

with that? I don't see too many things like rattle him, like this is like the epitome of a perfect person. But he grew up in the NBA too, He grew up in the environment, so he's seen it before. Like he understanding, Like his mom's like a public figure as well. His mom and his dad were together. They were kind of known as like the perfect couple or whatever. So he's seen everything, so I feel like he knows how to navigate it. I mean, obviously, you know, he's like

any other married couple. They probably go through their stuff or absolutely, But I don't know how he does it, to be honest with you, especially all that fame he got. Yeah, he's got to be dealing with his owner's health. My last book is all about anxiety and going to therapy, so why it had to be something that made him read listen to that? Yeah, Yeah, but I don't know I'm gonna ask him one day, like I don't know how he does it, and also ask him to tell

him don't be afraid to post my book. You know what I'm saying. Tell him God God will really bless him for that. And I love the dedication in the book. He said, you said to the young fellas, stay black to you two young fellas. So that's my son growing up. Every time I left the house, like every day, I got that same message from my mom, all right, stay black every day, as if we have a choice, right, No, she was saying, like stay black. Know who you are.

Realize it, like when you're going out to the world, stay black, Like don't change for nothing, Embrace who you are. So I have to always remind him, like, look, you go to school. This school is very diverse, private school, but it's diverse. But he's one of the few black boys it's on It's only a couple of like one hundred black boys. It's like three or four that I know around his age. And I'm like, man, you gotta be able to maneuver when you get pulled over by

the cops. You gotta be able a maneuver when you're at school or no matter where you're at, like especially in this neighborhood, you gotta be careful. I mean he's like he's lighter, light, complexant, so it's not going to be as bad. But he hasn't having awareness and I always try to get him to, you know, understanding. But we appreciate you for joining us. Yeah, pick up the book. Six men and Katie and Clay coming back next year. Pretty sure? Pretty sure? Pretty sure? K D two. I

think Katie's coming back. I hope he does. I mean we wanted to come back prior to the injury. Did you think he was leaving a gun? I didn't know. That's a hard part of two. It's like every day we had to deal with that, like the whole year you had to deal with it. Is Katie coming back? It was like, man, man, I hope, so yeah, like what you want me to say. But at the same time, it's like, you know where they're smoked, there's a fire, so it's like, well, who's putting out these reports? Sometimes

it fake? You don't know what's what? You know? It's the drama to the NBA heard they're going to the Knicks. Though that's what I heard. I don't know, man, I personally think y'all gonna strike out. Yeah, I agree with you. All right, It's Andrew Iguadolla. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. Keep the breakfast Club humbles with slams to the breakfast club.
