So get on the lines. Let me know your favorite Bobby joint. Whether it's Tenderoni, my prerogative, or whatever it may be.

We're gonna be kicking it to Bobby Brown next hour. Right now, we got front page news next whatever Angela wants to talk about, because I don't know if we're gonna connect the knots. Charlemagne will be here in the seconds. Don't go anywhere, don't move. It's to breakfast club. Good morning morning, everybody's DJ Envy Angela. Ye, Charlemagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news. Charlemagne, Yo, what's the word? How's everybody doing today? Now?

When sports Golden State Warriors beat the Mavericks one twelve to eighty seven, they blew them out last night. Yeah, I went to bed right after, right right at the start of the fourth quarter, pretty much. I watched the hole. Yeah, four quarter. They put all a B level team and it was it was done after that B level team in the bench, people on the bench, us Christ bench. Although everybody you calling B level on the war or watch you Okay, I'm not a professional basketball player, that's

my point. You gotta. I don't be level. He's big players, So it's the same thing. The United States Soccer Federation and the United States Women's National Team Players Association and the United States National Soccer Team Player Association have agreed to a deal that achieves equal pay and set the global standard moving forward into international soccer. So what that means is both men and women will make the same amount of money. I don't believe that, Like, what do

you mean? What did that mean? What do you mean? That can't be? That can't be. That can't be. What that means totally? Like, every single player is gonna make the same amount of money. So how do you pay somebody for the quality that they work? Well, I guess they said, how do you pay somebody for their talent level? US Soccer will share a portion of its broadcast partnership revenue with a fifty fifty split of the ship divided

equally between the men's and women's soccer teams. They said equal pay for men and women was not possible, but they did not stop us, and we went ahead and achieved it. We hope this will waken others to this need, this type of change, and will inspire a FIFA and others around the world to move in the same direction, so every player across the board is gonna make the same amount of money. That doesn't make sense. Like some people are just clearly better than others. Like there might

be a woman that's better than a guy. There might be a guy that's better than a woman. Like so you think Lebron James would want to take the same amount of money as everybody on the team. Is that a woman in the w NBA that uh to be making as much as Lebron James. I guess they're doing that. They might do it in stats. If if a man's stats and a woman's stat is the same, that makes sense. Yeah, they have to pay That's what I'm sure. How to stuff like that makes sense. That's why I say you

pay people based on the body of their work. But what I don't understand is, you know, NBA brings in so much money. Yes, let's say the w NBA doesn't bring in that much money. So if if you know, let's revenue millions of dollars, you know, I mean, so they can afford to pay Lebron whatever it is because

there's so many people coming to see Lebron. Yeah. And if you're flitting revenue, then you can afford to pay you know, the top women players, you know they're worth yes, yeah, all right, Now, this baby food shot, it's just getting disrespectful. It's getting crazy out there. People have been driving from them. They've been driving from stores the stores, city to cities. You're trying to find this formal and this lady actually

talks about it. It is the most you know, besides the hugs and the love, is the most basic thing that these these babies need. People have texted pictures of grocery shelves saying, there is this much formula left. Does anyone need me to pick it up for anyone that they know? I would do in the car today for four hours. The seven stores I checked personally, none of them but one had my daughters forming on and that was just today. Since this week, I've checked three chores.

I mean, I'm going out of state, so I just can't find it anywhere. And a crazy thing about baby formula if anybody has a child a baby is if your baby use a particular formula, they have to stay on that formula. If you change from infamile to similar act to good start or whatever formula that you use, if you change it can mess with the baby's digestive system. It could be collicky, it could be so many things, stomach pains, it could be so many things. So you

have to keep the formula consistent and it's difficult. Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to address this formula situation, and they are passing a bill to give twenty eight million dollars in emergency funding to address the baby formula footage I'm sorry shortage. And they said the move will get ingredients to manufacturers to help speed up production, and they're hoping that this will be by the end of the month. I mean, I know from Macha, I got

a five month old. We actually had to start fruit and cereal earlier just to make sure that we didn't have this problem. So we're already given little baby peyton fruit. Now. Yeah, Sam, I got a seven month old at the house. You know, she's been on the cereal and the fruit and stuff.

But and my wife breastfeeds. But she did say because she just was weaning her off the breast and started getting her on formul she did say, uh, last week, she's concerned about this formula shortage that I'm sure most of us with newborns at the house are We're not new borns are? You know? People let's pregnant right now. They don't know how long this is gonna last. So that is your front page news. All right, Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh

steak dinner is about twenty five dollars. Bro inflation is crazy. I can't even I ain't had steaking much, but also because of my diet. But yes, and when we come back, we got rumors we're trying to connect with. Ye I don't know what the hell is going on. Uh, something's happening in the rumors. We'll give you the updates. It's

the breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. I don't know where we're going this morning, Charlemagne, Well you better pray, because I started to say we're going to hell if we don't pray, but that's not true. All right, Well, what do you mean when we say you don't know where we're going? Angela? Oh you mean like when we do rumor report, you don't know what rumors you're reporting because Angela is not on the line. Well, let's win it. I like it, all right. Well, let's get to the

rumor report. Let's talk rumors. Let's talk about this is the rumor reports, all right, christ BMF star a Little Meach arrested for allegedly stealing two hundred and fifty thousand dollars Richard Milly watch. What that's saying a twenty two year old He got booked on two counters, first degree grand theft and the separate count of organized fraud. Now

this is that he allegedly took a watch. Now they're saying that little meach he put a down payment on a Richard Man lead by using his platinum Rolex, which was eighty thousand dollars, and then they said he allegedly failed to pay the remaining balance of two hundred thousand dollars. Now, why would have a jeweler called a police on you? If I put down something as collateral? You know I'm not trying to steal the watch. If anything, I owe

you some money, but don't say I stole to watch. Well, not only that, if the watch is two hundred and fifty and I give you eighty thousand dollars, how I still owe you two hundred thousand dollars interest? Maybe I don't damn interest should be a lot less than that should be, like what one seventy. The point is that he knows that the guy wasn't trying to steal. Does the dude own money, clearly yes? But did he try to steal the watch. No, yeah, that's not robbery. I

think that's more like civil court. I would think. So the police don't take into consideration all those details when they arrest you, like you know what I mean, Like they don't look at all that and say, what this isn't a robbery. We can't a right robbery is like you know, you gave me the watch, be honest with you. And I think grand theft all. I think it's the

video games and don't have the part. I have no idea. Granted, well we have some audio of him, uh speaking to one of his co hosts, of him being bailed out. I just want you to know, we just bill because we gotta finish season three. We gotta finish season two, three, four and five. So the bell was like, well one point two million, one point one point four yea, yeah, you know what I'm saying. That's what we do. Okay, exactly. You know we had that cash and and the bell

was said at one point four millions. It's not true. You gotta just said it's not true. Listen. I just did some research, my research, I mean google. Grand theft is a specific intent crime, meaning that the person taking the property must have had the exact intent of depriving the victim of the property of stealing. That's clearly not grand theft. If I give you a down payment, if I give you my watch that's worth eighty thousand, I clearly didn't have an exact intent of depriving you know,

you of your property or stealing. That's not grand theft. That's what I think. But I'm not a lawyer. I think that would be civilly, I would think, But anyway, I'm not a lawyer. Our police officer don't listen to us. Yeah you right. Do you watch a mass singer on aid room? That's that's it? Yeah? When the winner okay, so on online, Yes, I do well. Tianna Taylor is the winner. Saw that let's play man the down the good field. Shame. It's still so good to win this.

And it's crazy because I was so passionate from day one. And I think it is because of my journey and music and me being a skeptical and if I should come out of retirement to do it or not. But I was like, this would really be something where I could just sing without politics and judgment. Think that's why I was such an emotional journey For me, it was nothing that I looked at as just like funny games. I guess you can really say that the Mass Singer

is technically my last bow. I'm see after today? You never know, mm include bother with Tianna Taylor. There's nothing Tianna Taylor can't do. Okay, Tianna Taylor's extremely talented. Her and them and they like the they like the reality show killers right because the man one Dance with the Stars. Yeah, he Tiana want the Mass Singer, right, I want to close bonds for the Schumper Taylor Taylor schumpers. Now Billy McFarland, you remember him, No, that's the guy from the fire Festival.

They called him the fire Festival frauder. Well he got Falicia for the water? Which one is that? It was Andy? That was Andy. That'll give him Felicia for the water. Yeah, he was what I don't remember that. I remember that, but how do you like anyway? That's the one thing I remember from the those things I can see. I can see why Billy McFarland was. They said he was the guy behind the fire Festival and he put it on and he uh was supposed to serve six years

in prison, but he served less than four. So he was released yesterday. That was that long ago. He'd been locked him that long now. Part of his plea deal, he was supposed to serve six years. He was originally facing twenty years in prison, and he was supposed to reimburse twenty six million dollars. Did he know? My only he only uh did less than four years? When he said less than four, what do you mean like more than yeah, less than four? More than three? So I

don't hope you know this guy here? You know what I mean? I know you're right. You're bright, boy, you're smart. Uh you know what I more than three is like three and a half, three and three quarters? Like you know this guy close to four? This guy here all right now, Martin Shirley, you remember who that was? I do remember Martin Martin was up here. He came to the that's right. He was the one that bought the Wu Tang album. Well he's a free man now too,

he's been released from prison. Really. Yes, he was a pharmaceutical executive. He was allegedly charging people over priced for the pills that they would need for some of their uh problems if they had no I know he did more than four. Well, he's been transferred to a confinement place. And he was initially sentenced to seven years in prison after being found guilty of three to eight. And uh, I'm gonna see how much time that he did. He didn't do all his time either, let me see, let

me see it. He didn't do his time. How about that? I end up in all his documentaries. Really, yeah, they do documentaries. They always use his interviews from here on the Breakfast Club. Right. Well, he got an early release in that he has community confinement. He did at least he did at least three, at least three. I think maybe less than four, but he did. He did less than four. He might more than seven. He definitely did less than seven, but more than three. He definitely did

more than three. All Right, we'll do some research, and we'll do some research, meaning, let me google his name. That google his name. All right, Well that is your rumor report, Angel, you back at what the hell is going on? What do you mean he's actually in the halfway house too, That's what I said. Oh you did, Yeah, he did less than seven, he did less did less than seven, more than three. Okay, Yes, he was sitting at the seven year and he did like five. Well, yeah,

he supposed to get out. He sposed get out this year anyway in September. Yeah, you did, all right? What we got front page news? Next? What are we talking about, tylor? Oh this show is so trash. Oh man, this is what it means. Most amazing shows out there. Yeah, front page news. We'll figure it out and Bobby Brown will be joining us next hour. Now we're talking, so don't move.

Let's get some front page news. The last night, the Golden State Warriors beat the Mavericks one twelve eighty seven. To night, the

Boston Celtics take on the Miami Heat. Miami Heat, of course, lead dead series one zero yes, indeed, now a Buffalo Bill Some of the players of the Bills, they stopped by the top store where the shooting occurred a couple of days ago to mass shooting, and the Buffalo Bills Foundation is donating by helping, by supporting and giving two hundred thousand dollars. The NFL Foundation will be matching that with an additional two hund undred thousand dollars. So they're

donating four hundred thousand dollars in total. And who's that money going to. I guess anybody affected by the situation. Maybe the store as well. They were also giving groceries to surrounding areas, anybody you know in the area that couldn't get groceries at the time because the grocery store is closed down. So they were doing all that yesterday and now they were saying some Buffalo shooting survivors, actually

I had to hide in the milk cooler. They when they heard the gunshots, they all jumped in coolers, just trying to hide, closing the coolers, trying to just be as quiet as possible. Self preservation. You know what you got to do to survive. Yeah, they said, all you heard was firing and shooting and firing, firing. You said people were just scattering trying to get anywhere out of there.

They said they were hiding in uh uh coolers. There was people were screaming, crying, yelling, talking about there as a shooter in the store. They said people were yelling people to be quiet so the shooter couldn't find out where they were. They said that these people are gonna be traumatized forever. Of some of the people that just happened to said they couldn't even they're not even going

back to a store. Lamont Thomas and his eight year old daughter, London, they were looking for cake mix with their mother for their mother's birthday and they said they heard gun shots. And he said the first thing he did was just though his daughter into the milk colan, just wanted her to be safe as possible. I mean, listen, man, you know PTSD. They're gonna have that forever because it's just a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event,

whether you experienced it or witnessed it. And one of the things that's gonna haunt all of them is the fact that you almost could have died. You know what, I mean, like, that's something that you're going to think about constantly for the rest of your life, along with watching all of those other people who got tragically murdered. And the craziest thing is, um, yesterday my wife had to go to the grocery store. She was like, I'm going to the grocery store right back. I was like, nah,

I'll go. I just felt like that. I know I can't protect anything, and I can't say that if that happens, it happens. But I was just like, nah, you and the baby. I that is PTSD. That's a form of PTSD. Like you know, we all, you know, witnessed this tragic experience. And I hope you know for for all are that watched it online. I didn't watch it online, but you know, whether you watched it or you just heard about it, Yes, that is a feeling that you're going to have every

time you hear grocery store. Like something as simple as going to the grocery store. Something is routine as going to the grocery store. You can't even just let your guard down when that when you go do that simple activity. Nowadays, now, a married Pennsylvania high school choet director was arrested for a sexual relationship with a female student after her husband alerted the authorities. The Olivia Ortiz is twenty seven. She was taken into custody Monday with two counts of sexual

activity with a seventeen year old student. Dropped on a clue bonds for that husband, and you see something, say something. Her husband, who did freelance work for the school's music department, said he's seen some messages on her iPad coming home from a recent trip to Florida, and he told the principle. They called the police and she was arrested. Dropped on a clue bond for that husband. The right thing? Okay,

oh man, now, they said, uh now. They also said that the person that was in that position before her is facing similar charges for sexual misconduct with students. What yes, So the person that was the high school choir director before her is facing similar charges. They said that he allegedly had an infinity for tickling the feet of co eds. I don't even know what that means. Come in, let me show you. Come in, let me show you. I don't know what that means. It was tickling the kid's feet.

He liked it. It turned them on that's what he's saying. They said the pair what he would do. It had a code word. And when you said the two choir directors were a tag team. But before this Olivia got the job, there was another choir director that was facing similar charges for sexual misconduct. Yeah, so I don't know if it's choired directors or what just joking choir directors. I'm not saying that, you guys. I wonder if the

kids were complaining but nobody was listening to them. One of the kids have been complaining about this behavior from their quiet directors, but nobody was listening to them, and it took the husband to blow the whistle. I'm sure it did. But what I'm wondering what the cold word could be for tickling your feet. I have no idea, sir, But keep in mind he's a kid that you talking about here, I'm talking about you. No, he's not the time.

All right, well that is front page news. Read the room, sir, Now I read all right now, when we come back, Bobby Brown will be Yes, we're gonna kick it with Bobby Brown when we come back. And also we're gonna get on the Bobby Brown Mini Mix. It don't move. It's the Breakfast Love God 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. R and B legend O Man, Bobby Brown.

Bobby Brown is hair. How are you saying? I'm doing wonderful? Thank you absolutely, man, Bobby Brown. Some Memorial weekend, you have a special that's going to be airing for is it two nights? It's two nights, It's thirtieth, the thirty first. And you know, we think like Bobby Brown. You you know, we read your book every little step, every little step, amazing book. Obviously we've seen the series that was on BT also and you're like, man, what more do we

not know about Bobby Brown? But you really spilled it all. Yeah, I had to in order to become better, you have to get everything out. Was this your idea? I want to say yes, But at the same time they came to me, and it was at a time that I had just lost my son and I just felt I needed to do something to become a whole again. Oh man, I'm not I think about you often, man, because I don't know how you get up every morning, brother, Like, how difficult is it just to wake up? I actually

wake up now instead of rolling over. Wow, the struggle is hard. But at the same time they're with me, so I know that did the help. Are hurt with your healing process to constantly have to relive and talk about these you know, situations through books, through documentaries, through movies, it's therapeutic. It helps me get through the day, and I have many days to get through it. So each

day is a blessing. Yes, and it feels like Alicia is a person that really helps you, you you say, get back into the business, get back to the music, and and give you some more energy too. Yes, yes, definitely my wife see today, Yeah, he said, she put together this fresh an ensemble what you ain't buy off the rack, bro. I don't know where she got it free. She just told me to put it on. Um. Yeah, Alicia is um.

She's my rock. How hard was it for you to allow somebody to enter your life at that time, because it can't be easy to trust people. That's true. All I had was trust in my heart. I had nothing else At the time that me and her got back together. It was at a point in my life where I was getting divorced and I didn't know which way I was gonna go with my music or you know, my career, and she gave me the answer two shows, you know, different things, and I went about that and you know,

ended up on the right side of the road. How do you keep positive energy? Man, because it seems like, you know, so many circumstances could easily make you better, you know, but it seems like you still lead with love. How was how was that prayer? You know? Therapy, therapy, lots of them. Yeah. When did you decide to start doing therapy? Probably over fifteen years ago. I decided that, you know, I needed to talk to somebody, you know, in order to work out all the issues within myself. Yeah,

I love thereby I go once a week. I'm going once a week for like six seven years. Manh Yeah, it's a good thing. Yeah. I don't know if. I don't know if you ever get to a place of wholeness, though, I think wholeness is within you already, you know. Being able to dish out all of the dirt that sent you, you know, to somebody helps you get through the day. When you wrote every little step some years ago. When I read the book, I said it's gonna be a movie. I knew it was gonna be a movie, But now

it's been a movie, it's been a documentary. How does that feel for you that your life is able to play out in so many different ways? Things keep happening. It's it's unfortunate, but yeah, strange things keep happening to me, and I keep happening to relive what's in my past, but I'm dealing. How's your relationship with the rest of the guys now? I know y'all have gone through, but they did interviews for the docu series special also, So

how's that. You know, it's up and down, but you feel like you guys are in a better space now than you've ever been. Yeah, the camaraderie that we go through now is totally different. We've grown ass men, So there's no more fighting. That would be terrible if to see us all fight. It's something different. So there's no more fighting, there's no more fussing. You know, we're able to sit down and conversate with each other and not have,

you know, a problem with each other. You know, if there's a problem, we sit down and we talk about it, you know, so there's no more fisticuffs. Last time we had a fist fight was probably on the Home A Getting tour years ago. Yeah, it was the best fighter out of all of you. You think probably everyone's gonna say that. Everybody would say that me and Ronnie probably

we have the longer arms. Now. One thing you guys discussed in a documentary also is when you did the reality show you and Whitney, and some people didn't think it was a good idea for you. In retrospect, looking back at it, do you think that's something that if you could do it again, you would. Yeah. I don't regret anything that I've done in my life. I think everything that I've done in my life led me up to this point. You guys also talked about S and

L spoofing. It was that hurtful for you at that time? Yes, definitely, definitely it was hateful now not being Bobby Brown one of the greatest reality shows of all time. Why didn't it continue? I can say money issues, I could say, you know, me and Andy didn't get along. I can say a whole bunch of things, but I simply just say it ran its course. Yeah, I always said when it's the scene where you pulled due to all the yeah x ye, but I said that I was a

little boy. I'm like, that's love. I think that is clearly what love is, Andy Finger. But then you always hear like people say, you don't really know you in love until you like sick and then a person got to like wipe your butters up me. And so I always look at those those two things like that's love. It's love. You go through that. If you can't express your love in different ways, then you're not loving a person. Yeah, well you shocked that you found love again so much

later in life. Not really shocked, but surprised, you know, surprised that somebody that loved me for me and somebody that understands what I've been through in the past. And I'm thankful for that now. You also were surprised. In this documentary you talked about an instance where you ended up your mom was brutalized and you ended up having to go talk to a priest and he attempted to molest you. Yes, how did that affect your relationship with religion?

I don't think it hurts my relationship with God. I just think it made me distrust older people. So I ever liked authority. I think that's how it affected me. This is why it's good to know people's stories, you know what I mean, Because sometimes people will be projecting trauma and projecting things that have happened to them in their life, and we just dismissed them and say, oh, he's crazy or he's rebellious, he's a nut. Yeah. Bobby Brown ever felt true piece? I'm I'm living it. I

try to find a piece every day. True piece to me is being able to understand what my life is all about and what I'm here for. You know, I'm here to entertain period. Are you? Are you in a constant state of grief, mister Brown? No? No, we got more with Bobby Brown. When we come back. Let's get into a Bobby Brown mini mix. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. See Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlemagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking with

Bobby Brown. Charlomagne, it's interesting that you said, you know that the SNL sketch, you know, offended you did a lot of jokes from that time period offend you because you know they made you and with a lot of but it was it was the show. It was the show mad I believe Mad TV. They really offended me. I took a lot of it personal, but it was different back then. Y'all could run down on people, yeah, and no cameras, And me and Whitney would like that. Yeah,

we would you have to do that? You have to you know, do you have to run down on any comedians or anything like that? Back then? No, no, I won't go there. No, no, we didn't have to. It wasn't like I didn't want to take very spears in corner somewhere. But then when he used to see you,

I'm sure it was different in person. It is it is, you know, sketches and sketches, comedies, comedy, and I think I realized that a long time ago that I can't take so personal that I want to call somebody Bobby hum Well, you and Mike Tyson were really good friends. Do you still talk to Mike Tyson? Yes? How do you like seeing him in the space that he's in now with podcasts? I love everything about that brother. He is just the most positive person that I've been able

to know for a long period of time. I want to hear you on Mike Tyson podcast. Yeah, that'd be fun, just because you know the journey that y'all both have been on, you know, the healing journey, the spiritual aspect of it. I just want to see what I know what got Mike to this point. I want to hear y'all have that conversation together. I think that could be that up really soon. Know much history, yes, and I'm sure there's some stories you probably don't even remember that

he remembers. He remembers everything everything. That's the strange thing about Mike. He just remembers everything everything. When when when you would declared the king R and B back in the day but by your late wife, did that put added pressure on you? No? I really never paid attention to the label king of R and B. I mean, I've called myself the king of stage many times, but that was just due. I still don't think anybody could

from me on stage. When you first started with the documentary, you guys started off talking about an incident that happened in Oakland. That was it in Oakland? Yes? Where that was kind of the final story. Do you feel like you remember things differently than the guys remember it when you recall what happened back then, you know, I remember, I remember it perfectly clear. So what exactly happened on that stage, Well, they cut me off when I was

singing my part and I had very few parts. That was like God's plan though, because that's what really made you decide. Yes, So when you look back, it like there's a reason behind the madness. Yes, yeah, but even in hindsight, what accountability do you take? I take all accountability. You know, I know that I was doing things out of the ordinary that a new addition member should do. It was because I wanted to go solo. Do you think it was kind of maybe self destruction a little

bit sabotage? Yeah, well, you're playing worked. Does Bobby Brown feel like he got everything he wanted out of the game? Not yet, really, not yet. I'm still working on me. God is still working on me. So you know, he had to get new tools, but he's still working. So what do you ultimately want? I mean, it feels like as an artist, there's not too many people who've had the success you've had group wise, and as a solo artist, like, what more could Bobby Brown want out of the music industry?

I'm a detainer, So I want to do one movies. I want to do a lot more writing as far as scripts are concerned. I just want to plant my feet in the Hollywood entertainment world as far as active is concerned. True. So once I do that, then you know my mission will be please. You also got a street named after you, two streets, two streets, one in Boston and one in Atlanta, Georgia. Oh that's dope. That's a great feeling to be. Like, what, shoot, you live

Ony Body Brown? How much has the neighborhood changed as far as a racism? Because I know growing up in Rocksbury, you guys have talked about how racist it was there. You think things are a lot better or you think, no, I don't live there anymore, and I don't live with racism. I know it's a part of this world. I just choose not to pay attention to it. Oh, when you know a problem, don't mean it's gonna go away though, right? But I'm not to fix her? Yeah, I don't think.

To be honest, you, I don't think there's a kill for it. I don't either. But how much did it affects you as a young black man coming up in this business too. I don't. I don't. I don't really feel that it played a part in me not getting a role or me not selling thirty million albums. I think it plays a part. Behind closed doors, people will talk. They're not going to say it to my face. As long as you don't say it to my face, I'm

cool with it. Because I also feel like they try to paint you as this bad boy of R and B. But rock stars were doing all these things and behavior that's just normal for them. I don't tear on hotels, I don't crash cars, you know limos like that. You left some cars, scranded it on the start. They were always you know this interesting you said to think about the thirty million records because I think I look at like new kids on the block. Right. They had the

same management as yall, they had the same producer producer. Yes, and they were new Edition clones. They were the white New Editions, right. But they sold millions of millions of records like that. Race had to have something to do with that, yeah, probably probably, But there were there were probably more people that could afford records on this side of the track. Well, I'm excited for us to all watch this as a family together. Yeah, Memorial Weekend, it's

a two night event. Monday made thirtieth and Tuesday Made thirty first at eight pm on A and E. I Want in. The series comes on the thirty first, right after the documentary, and it's a twelve part series. Twelve part series. I do want to ask about Don't Be Cruel? When you've recorded that album in your mind, did you know this was gonna be one of them? Once? When I recorded Prerogative, I knew it was gonna be a hit me, Aaron Hall and Teddy Riley. It was just

a perfect song to me. Is it still your Prerogative now? Oh? Yeah? Hell yeah? Don't Be Cruel? Did it? Elvis Presley, you have a song Don't Be Cruel? Was that where you got the title from or was it a coincidence? It was a coincidence. Yeah, But I'm a big Elvis fan. That's so real, dude. Yeah, I've never heard that. I've never heard a black person city big Elvis. Really, I got a collection of Elvis that you wouldn't believe. I don't think I ever heard of Elvis Presley's song. I

heard Blue Sway Shoes. But you know they always say jay Z has the most number one albums, more than Elvis. I've never heard any of those albums. I think I heard say shoes. That's about it. You never don't be cruel too true, I know, don't be cruel because I would never be that. That's all you need to know. What What does Bobby Brown do to heal? Um? What are some of the pray? Pray a lot, man, I pray a lot. That's my goal to you know, talk

to God working. Thank you? Yeah, definitely, man, Bobby Brown, good to see you, my brother. Good to see you in good spirits. Oh, you know, like you, I'm telling you, I think about you often.

She said that she was playing with her three inch toy and she couldn't get it out, and she had to go to the hospital and they have to have surgery to have it removed. Remember when they had the story that you used to do that and it was a nine inch. M deal though, that got stuck in your butt. See that's the story. That's something you give to the people

for rumors. What you just say, that's nothing. Okay, but that happens every daby. A woman in a sex story, yeah okay, but a guy. I just want to tell you yesterday I was a sneaker story. Let's go, let's go story now. I came up to me and he was like, yo, the gay jokes that you and Charlemagne be doing, like the fact that I really feel like y'all love each other.

They're saying that Quavo released a new song with Takeoff and the fact that now Cardi be an offset unfollowed them means that they're breaking up. Sounds like I don't know, but they said that they're not following each other anymore and possibly that they're breaking up. How do people know when people don't follow each other? Like, how do you

see that? Like? Who is the unfollowed police that investigates these type of things? I have no idea, but now you know how social media is it? If you don't follow somebody, really not messing with them anymore. And that's what people are saying. Maybe I just don't like them on social media. I have a lot of friends in real life that I don't follow on social media. I don't like what they post. But if you're in the same group, you follow them, right? Maybe not none if

Yeah, Donkey of the Day for Thursday, May nineteenth goes to a fifteen year old Ohio boy who has not been named because he's fifteen. Okay, uh, let's talk about the struggle of putting your kids to bed. Parents. How much of a struggle is bedtime? Okay? I have young kids sixty three and seven months, so of course they don't be

wanting to go to sleep. But my thirteen year old, by the time for her to go to bed, it's never a problem. And you got seventeen kids, you are contributing to the formula shortage in this country? Are you? Nick Cannon and Kekey Wyatt? But have you ever had a problem with any of your teenage kids wanting to go to sleep? Teenage kids? Yeah? Your teenage kids? Like meaning you told when of your teenage kids go to bed,

and you know they didn't listen. No, I don't mean either that the thirteen year old has no problem going to sleep. But in this situation with this fifteen ye old kid in Ohio, him and his dad got into an argument over bed time. I guess dad wanted him to go to sleep, and the fifteen year olds said no, he wasn't having it. WHOA Disrespecting your parents have fifteen is choosing violence, okay, especially when you're fifteen year olds

disrespecting your father, that is choosing violence. All right, parents, we know that feeling too. You want to tell the little boy take your asked to sleep, okay, so me and your mom can do nasty things that caused you to be here and the little boy not listening. Well, that's usually when pop's chooses violence. Okay. I would have got slapped in the face, all right. I would have got backhanded in the mouth, I hit with you know whatever. My mama or daddy could have gotten their hands on.

Some of y'all have never been beat with an extension cord and then had to go take a bath afterwards. And it shows Okay, well, in this situation, the parent, the parent wasn't the one who chose violence. It was the fifteen year old. What what do you mean a fifteen year old chose violence? Exactly? Let's go to Fox nineteen for the report. Please. An argument between a father and son ends with the father being shot. Lord Everard called to a home on a Wholegate Drive in Forest Park.

Just after midnight, they found forty five year old Damon Robinson shot in the abdomen. A caller to nine when one said Robinson was shot by his fourteen year old son. Several others in the home hid in the bedroom until medics arrived. Robinson's injury is not believed to be life threatening. It is not clear if the team is in custody. This young man has been charged with shooting his father because his daddy told him to go to bed and he didn't want to. Now, there is good reasons to

shoot your father, but this isn't one of them. Okay, don't look at me like that. There's reasons. Father could be abusive, Okay, could be a form of self defense. Father could be abusing the mom's sister. I mean, there are reasons that are valid and make sense, but this isn't one of them. Okay, you can't even tell your kids go to bed without getting shot nowadays. First of all, who he's fifteen year old kids that argue with their parents. Okay, I didn't have those kind of balls in I was fifteen.

Argue with their parents, that's some new stuff. And the reason it's new was because there used to be a time when the parents chose violence. Okay, you're not arguing with someone who you know will go upside your head, but it gets if you're the kid and you know you're the one bringing the violence, you're going to talk back. All right. I'm not gonna lie. I don't believe in beating my kids. Okay, I would rather talk to my kids,

you know. But man, it probably would have served this fifteen year old well that have had to go pick a switch a couple of times in his life. Okay. I know you can't put hands on kids nowadays because they will say it's abuse and all types of other things. But when the father says, and I quote this is what the father said, he can't stay with me, your honor,

it's pretty much self explanatory. To see where I'm at, and you know where he was in the hospital room with medical equipment surrounding him, where he's still recovering from the shooting. Okay, the father said, I feel like these little problems been popping up, and I feel like it's a slap on the wrist to let him out right now. Totally understand that my father did the same to me when I was getting in a lot of trouble, and you know I went to jail. Let me sit there

for a while to get my mind right. But you know why those little problems keep popping up because that little boy thinks you want to hit little friends. And when the kids think you wanted their little friends, things like this happened. Okay, that's why your parents had to

constantly remind you, I'm not one of your little friends. Okay. Now, a judge said there's only one way she would consider releasing the team, and that is if there's a plan with a place, if there's a plan for him to have a place to stay, okay when he gets out. But the daddy said he can't stay at my house, and can you blame him? All right? The kids shot

his daddy in the stomach, all right. If his attorney wanted the team to turn over to whichever guardian is able to take him to day, do you know how bad you gotta be for him to say, we don't care what guardian is available to take him to day. Just take him, I promise. As you get older, you start to see who was raised properly, and so many people like basic respect. Okay. The Bible says, cursed is the one who disrespects his father and mother. Cursed is

what the book would do. Deronomy says you will be if you disrespect your father and mother. That's just disrespect. I don't know what happens if you shoot your parents. Please give this fifteen year old kid in Ohio the

biggest see hull. Hey man, your parents may not be perfect, but they're the most precious gift God has given you, all right, And if they're giving you a place to stay and all they ask you to do is go to bed at fifteen years old, and your response is to shoot them, I don't know how you repair that one, bron Mate. I just don't. I mean, I know you have unconditional love for the kids, but man, nope, out Pete already got Pete, They already got trust issues. And

now my kids just shot me in this. I told him to go to bed. Good luck at fifteen, young man. I might have to figure it out on your own. Brother. I don't think it's enough therapy in the world that one. All right, Well, thank you for that dog get a day. Now, let's open up the phone lines. Usually we do asky, but we couldn't get it connected Today she's out in Atlanta. So we've seen this story on talk. This is a

good one. Now, a twenty five year old she's being talked about on TikTok like crazy is trending because she said that people can't survive on less than ten thousand dollars a month. Yeah, I saw Actually I got wind of this because I was looking at world Stars Instagram flew the world Star and I saw a DC young fly post that one hundred thousand dollars a year is definitely good money, almost eight thousand and seven hundred and fifty dollars a month. Don't you listen to a mother

effa who depends on somebody else to have money? To tell you what it is and what Now? She's an aspiring musician, she's uh, I guess she makes a less than ten thousand a month. She's saying one hundred and seventeen thousand and annually is not a lot of money. And she lives in Arizona. She lives in Arizona. Let's hit order one hundred and seventeen thousand dollars a year. It's ten thousand dollars a month. It's not that I live a lavish lifestyle. It's that I live an adult life.

I'm twenty five years old. I'm twenty five years old. There's you cannot survive on ten thousand dollars a month. I can't. I can't. She's clearly living above her me. Let's talk about it. What's what's the question? What are we asking? Can you live off on a hundred and seventeen thousand dollars annually? It's ten thousand dollars a month not enough to survive on. I would love to hear people that say no, they can't. I just want to

hear from people period. As a kid growing up, my mom and dad, I don't even think they made over one hundred thousand dollars as a kid growing up, and we lived in a nice house. I went to the nice school. But most people can say that was a longtown. That was the late nineteen hundreds. Okay, okay, that's that's a totally different time, late nineteen hundreds, totally different time inflation. Things cost a lot more now. But I don't even

want to do that. I could easily say, hey, my mom, the most you ever made with thirty thousand dollars a year in most corn of South Carolina, raising four or five of us, you know what I mean? So like that, But that's that's the nineteen hundred totally different times. But teachers make how much now about forty fifty thousand dollars? Now that is true, right, And if you let's say, let's say you work for you know, sanitation starting out, or if you're a police officers starting out, you make

about fifty sixty a grand. That's less than one hundred and seventeen thousand if you're married, and and I know teaches that own a house. Hey man, let's talk about it. Five A five one oh five one night. We'll take your calls when we come back as the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's topic time called eight hundred and five A five one oh five one to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee Charlemagne,

the guy we all the Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we usually do ask Yee him, but we couldn't get a connected. She's in Atlanta, so we're talking about this twenty five year old TikTok. She's known as lived B she's from Arizona. She said that she can't survive on less than ten thousand a month, and claiming that one hundred and seventeen thousand annually it's not

enough money. She's bugging now. She said she has to spend two thousand on rent, and that she eats two thousand worth of food a month and a host of other things, and that she can't afford it. I say that's bullcrap. I think that's bullcrap. I don't think. I don't think a lot of people make over one hundred thousand dollars a year, but only thirty I just I did some research, and by research I mean Google. Only thirty point seven percent of the country makes more than

one hundred thousand dollars. You know what I mean? Thirty point seven percent of the country makes more than one hundred thousand dollars. She sounds crazy. That's not a lot of people, you know. I think the thing here is um it's one hundred thousand dollars a year, ten thousand dollars.

I guess I don't know how much of the mons dollars month you make ten thousand dollars year, twelve months, one hundred and twenty thousan dollars a year okay, minus taxes is probably around seventy bringing between seventy seventy five thousand. That is, Yes, that's more than enough to live. Okay, and all in this location matters this, wee know. But it's also just about how you choose to live. Folks got to act their wage correct. Okay. Could I live

off one hundred thousand dollars a year? Yes? Not only could I, I've done it before. Hell, when I worked with Wendy Williams Swoothwy Williams, I made seventy grand a year. Okay, here in New York City, in Jersey. When I have my own moner show on in Philadelphia, I made seventy five thousand a year. When I was doing radio on Columbia South Carolinas, I was making like six thousan an hour, getting forty hours a week. Here's the problem with this

young lady. Everything you said about her expenses. You said she spends twenty two thousand dollars on rent, and she eats at least two thousand dollars worth for food a month. And I read that she likes to travel. Well, guess what cut your food expenses. Maybe you shouldn't need out as much. Maybe you should start buying groceries even though grocery expenses. Maybe you start buying groceries and cooking at the house correct. Maybe you don't need to travel as much.

And if you do travel, maybe you don't need to travel to these places that you travel, and find some places that you can afford to go instead of two thousand and rent, maybe find a place that's fifteen hundred a month. You know what I'm saying. Well, I will say this. When I first started working at Power one on five, my salary with sixty six thousand dollars a year, I got paid the after minimum and I still survived.

I lived in New Jersey. I made it work. We made it work, and my wife didn't work and we had two kids. I did make it work. Um, but let's go to the phone line. Hello, who's this sha Hey, Shaye, talk to a shade. Okay, Now she is crazy, Okay, because I made a little bit over four thousand a month, I got six kids and we'll be at hard shake every day. I got a rink, cardinal insurance, all that, and we still make it. And you said you got six kids you make, you make less than five thousand,

so what's that about? Fifty thousand a year? And you make it work? Make it work. We're balling. Were you were you at? Were you at? What's the location in Detroit? Detroit? Okay, okay, all right, thank you. I don't know what she's doing either. Man. Hello, who's this? Hey? Good morning, chair man, good morning? And it was up, It was up, charlote man, Angela wasn't there,

so but hello to hers. Well what's your thoughts? Brother? Yeah, I was just answering the question, is easy or can you live up on a hundred thousand a year three with the young lady. I'm not trying to be greedy or anything, but I agree and I'm sorry. A hundred k is like it's not getting it done. Where you where you calling from? I'm calling from Maryland. So you don't think you could live off one hundred thousand dollars a year in Maryland? Tell me what? Tell me what

you think you'd be missing? Well, you got the barn basics. I mean you still need a roommate. You got a car, you got a Metro card, you got your your spot, you got food. But I mean, like you can't get your bottle of seventeen thirty eight? You can't, I understand, get you a pack of cigarette. Well, where's the first of all? Maybe you shouldn't drink seventeen thirty eight. Maybe you get you some vs op. May get you some rim vs op instead of getting seventeen thirty eight. You

ever thought about that? You know? It's just you're like like, you're like, my pa, check just came in. It's gonna be gone by five pm tonight. Well, I'm saying, but this is the thing is, it's how are you living right now? I'm looking in Maryland right now? It says the meeting and home meeting home value is about four hundred thousands. You got look at home? What's the rink, what's the rent? What's the rint? That's the boat? Yeah? What what's your rints? About twenty one twenty two? Okay?

And how much you bring home a month monthly? I mean good. It's like now I'm like, I'm not comfortable talking about on the radio. But nobody know, nobody knows, you brod damn. How much how much you make a month? I probably bring home about five about five six a month? Okay? Six thousand dollars. Let's say twenty one hundred do the

map six six thousand dollars. So after taxes, you make six thousand dollars a month, right, yeah, okay, it's one hundred for rintch So now you got four thousand and some change left for what you're doing with that four thousands of change? All right, we got some quick. I've had a conversation with my wife's about having another child. She's like, we can't afford another child. Deadcare is five hundred a week. Okay, you know what I'm saying. That's

two thousand. So now you're down to two thousand a month. Mine is your car in bills, so now you got about a thousand dollars a month. Right, What would you need to live comfortably? Sir? What do you think you need with need to live? And I don't mean like extravagant balling, I'm talking. I'm just living comfortably. Your bills are paid, rent paid comfortably? All right, well comfortably, yes, I can see you doing that on a hundred comfortably.

If you don't have, like, if you don't like to go out with you and socialize with your buddies and a hunt of k party can get that done. So I agree with the young lady twinks that she's twenty five years old. Right now I'm thirty five, and I say this, this hunted ain't kicking it. Like as much as everybody said six figures will be my goal, six

figures will be to go. And I don't agree that more money solves problems, but I just don't feel like, you know what I'm saying, Like sometimes I don't even be having the gas to put in my car to get to work. I understand the car insurance, I pay the car note and then be like, man, how are you going to get the work? I was like, man, crap, I got like five dollars in the count I understand

that the word. I respect your situation more than that young lady, though, because that young lady you got a family. You know what I'm saying. You got a family, You got two kids to take care of. How much? How much do you drink a day? What do you saying? How much do you drink a day? How much? Up? Man? You sound like it sounds like a Charlot Maine therapist's sounding My therapist just ask The first we talked about bills that came out your mouth was a bottle thirty eight.

I get it. You heard the man thing He's check gonna be gone today. I don't want to drink too. They came out of his mouth and say rint, hedn't say car. The first thing that came out of his mouth was I got I get it. Your situation is different. I understand you, sir. You got two kids, you got a family. Your situation is different. I get it, all right. Eight hundred five A five one oh five one. Can you live off of ten thousand dollars a month? Let's

talk about it as the breakfast club. Go morning for the l A time. I get round, my call me and your opinions to the breakfast club top eight. I get five five one five one morning. Everybody is tch Envy and Jela yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're asking can you live off of a hundred thousand dollars a month? All right? Boy? Sorry, If you tell me you can't live one hundred thousand thouars a month, I'm calling somebody

to have you arrested. Ten thousand dollars a month or one hundred thousand dollars. Yeah, that's what we're asking. What's your name? My name is Aisha Ayesha. Can you live off of ten thousand dollars a month? I've managed to do it for most of the place. Talk to us. And you got six kids? Right? I'm a mother six forty seven, so I have six children and you made it happen. I made it happen with them because I'm creative in my space. I know I don't I need

to leave. I don't need to leave material things. You don't make my children happy having family and doing haty thing happy and man a pother comunity and real. Okay, that's real. Yeah. I brought my first house and I was twenty six years old. It was only forty five nine, so even behind a house under two hundred fifty definitely a reality in the world for not post pandemic, but prior to the pandemic. It is a reality. Now you're right, Hello, who's this Jay? What's up? Man? Can you can you

live off of less than ten thousand dollars a month? Bro? I believe our kids five kids, and I'm spending eight hundred or eight thirds und sents the more. How you do that? On the four homes. I have re warders, I have morders and learn home. Okay, that's great. How was you able to pay more off? That's what people would say. Actually, if you deal with your payments, whatever your payment is, and you doubble it six months off the year you have your house paid homes and tending

up ten years instead of thirty. Okay, I don't want to talk to you. You got money. I want to talk to the people that's trying to figure it out. Okay, don't talk to this person that owned four houses. Well, what's the mold of the story. Man. The more of the story for me is, man, just simply act your wage. You know what I'm saying. I remember comparisons Toe for Joy. A lot of times we look at whatever everybody else is doing, especially with this social media stuff, and we

say we should be living like that. But the reality is they're not even living like that. So can you live comfortably off one hundred thousand dollars a year, Yes, as long as you're not living beyond your means. That young lady is twenty five years old, twenty five years old, living in Arizona, and she's making one hundred and seventeen thousand dollars a year. If she can't, you know, live off that, then she just needs to figure out how to budget her money better. It's really that simple. I

agree with you. All right, Well, we got rumors on the way. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This morning. Everybody is envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to me here. Let's talk DC Young Fly's This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, DC Young Fly his car was broken into yesterday and

it was upset. Yeah, he was very upset. You know what that's big now, Stealing cars, breaking into cars, It's it's the thing right now when a lot of people are getting especially in Atlanta, they break into the cars because they feel like maybe somebody left their gun in the car. I feel like this is happening to d a couple of times before. I definitely remember one time, or maybe it was something else, but I thought it was somebody broke in his car. Well, he talks about it,

and he's pretty upset about it. Y'all are the words robbers in America who taught y'all how to break a call. Y'all break my wonder. Don't take nothing because I ain't got nothing in the car. That's why I don't keep shting my car. Or y'all still stop in Twitter Twitter two. Then you leave money, the little chop chain that I had, the gash, money that I had in the little fart at all. You left the fart at all. But y'all was looking for guns. Bitch the gun on me and

all that mother caraman. Y'all better be glad I ain't come outside, good boy, I would a whooped chains and made them call their dad and then want your dadd again out with the whooped ts ass for reason for why you let your son out here? Then later that night doing this stupid ass robbing a clue. Bump my gut, DC, But I was at the place of residence, That's what it seems like. Yeah, yeah, I get him. Though. I'm sure they went into the car because they knew it

was DC's car. They probably was looking for gonna have something. Absolutely, I'm glad that you know that situation only ended in a break window and whatever if they took anything, yep, now x x x tension and his mother is releasing a documentary and it's a trailer. It's on Hulu. She actually reached out to me and you, Charlomagne. She wanted us to see it about a month ago, a couple of months ago, shout out the rugs, but we couldn't

see it. But here's a trailer to it. You know how he got a little voice in your head and it'd be like only that. I don't think he had that. I'm successful. The thing about is fainted with this terrific letish crime. There was a lot of jealousy. I could hear them fighting somebody who was getting hit. He did not want that image to follow him around for the rest of his life. Since I apologize, I haven't been getting the help. I really want to do what he's

done in two years. Whether you loved it or whether you hated it, he's had to acknowledge it. Yeah. So the initial release, uh, it's supposed to be a couple of years ago, but now they're looking like it's supposed to come out this weekend. That's horrible. Man. The family of X Excess Tatashi, that little brother didn't even get the opportunity to turn the corner, you know, and ended

up getting killed for what you know. Why. It's gonna be shown in some movie theaters too, So just check your local list and so you might be able to see that into movie there. I know they're playing it on forty second Street here in New York City. All right, very very sad. Now, you know you know what I hate sometimes sometimes I hate these blogs. Right, I'm gonna tell you why. Lebron James's son yesterday he was going out to the prom and they posted his prom date.

And she's a Caucasian woman. I believe that's what it looks like. But the the blogs just wanted to ish, oh this dandy, and I don't understand that. So there was a lot of of people talking about him and his date. But she's a white girl. Because she's a white girl. You don't follow the blogs, you know, for situations like that, you go to doctor Gumar's page. Yeah,

that's why why I got hip to this situation. I wosted it, did he Oh my god, come on, come on, come on, come on, you know doctor, I don't miss a beat. Oh my goodness, people in that beat is white, Oh my goodness. But I don't like them doing that the people kids, though, I think that's whack. Yeah, I think it's very very I think I think it's gobbage. Don't do that to people kids. But I mean, I guess you know your kids growing up in the spot like stuff like that is gonna happen. But I don't

like it. Yeah, I don't like it either. I mean, the man is just going to the young man is just going to his problem. He's trying to enjoy his problem. Now, you don't even know what the relationship of what it is, and why does it even matter to people? Why does it even care? That's that's not your son, that's not your child, that's not you mind your business, not doctor. MA ain't gonna not looked at you out your damn mind. I don't see nothing you ain't looking. They erased it.

I don't see nothing you see on anything on that. He must have erased it. He must up. I know. I saw this and he did. Yeah, two of them really he did. All right, Now, shout out to my brother DJ Clue. Clue is doing. Uh, what podcast is that? What's the name of that podcast? I think it's ma He was on the podcast talking about earth Gotti and jay Z Old School this is and how jay Z had to change some of his lyrics when he was

battling Nas. I hope this has some some bars that were hard earth Gotti made him changing them, and I was like, all right, I'm like I'm because I'm like I'm remember like I said, I'm neutral, so I heard it. I'm like, oh, that's crazy and I'm like Noah, no, I even to go to rows. I'm like, all right, I've left a loan, like you know what I'm saying that. Yeah,

he talks about that. He also talks about, you know, Clue was cool with Nas and Jay and where he stood during the beef back and forth when Jay and NAS was going through what it was going through, how difficult was it for you. I didn't even realize that the freestyle Nas gave me was him going at hold Kim with about the Kings. I didn't realize what he was saying on them until the way way after. I

didn't even realize that he was throwing shot shots. Yeah, because you know, don't say names, so it's like they can. But at the time, I was like, oh, yeah, he told my whole it's crazy. Yeah, how did they get back. That was the wold. The't even mentioned this to me, to be honest. He talks about the old schools battling back and forth. You know, a lot of people don't know. I got a lot of those Rockefeller mixtapes back then

because Clue played the middle pause post pause. He didn't want to go in between them, so they would come to me to play the records. And that's how the Rockefeller mixtapes would create a shot the Lennias shout the Dame dash at the time, hole and and big. So that's how I was doing all those Rockefeller mixtapes at the time because Clu didn't want to play either side. Salute to the legendary Clue, I'm not allowed. I feel bad for Lebron. It's a Vanna though man going back there.

Why yeah, only just because it's just like you know, you as parents, our job is to protect our families, but you don't. You just know it's some things you

can't protect them from. And you know, when you growing up in the spotlight like they are, and people see him just going to a prom, something as regular as a prom, that becomes the thing I wouldn't want to see my kid all over the blogs and everything else, and I wouldn't people were having all of these different opinions staff for that, because you know why the blogs posted it. But the same I think about it as you look at Lebron and they live in an affluent area.

I'm sure somewhere in Beverly Hills, and their kids probably go to school in Beverly Hills. What's the majority of the kids that's gonna be there. I don't know. I don't. I don't agree with that because I mean, it is that doesn't. I mean, the truth of the matter is I just don't like them seeing I don't even want to have the discussion because I don't like seeing people's kids out there like that. I really don't, because I

can only imagine how a parent that makes. Look, you don't mind the picture, because that's fine, but it's it's it's the commentary that they're pushing in the blogs and no doctor, I want. I want my daughter to bring black men home, but that has nothing to do with nothing. Okay. My point is I don't like seeing people's kids out there. Okay, I don't. I don't. I don't like seeing it because I can I know how that makes you feel as a parent because your job, that you want to protect

your family. You've seen all of these unsolicited opinions, all of these people coming at your kids. I know that, I know that has to irritate them. So the salute to the James family. Man all right now up next to the People's Choice makes and reminding y'all again, I know Father's Day weekend.
