You was all off, beating everything. Rhythm was trying to walk in like he'd been there. I'll get my scroll right next time. He tried to hit it. He tried to

hit it on point. He couldn't get it on point. Little too slow, little too soft. Oh my god, Jesus, good morning, guys. Hey, guess what day it is? Guess what day it is, Yes, it is Wednesday, hump Day. Now, ANGELI behind the scenes was telling me a story. Yeah, we'll talk about it. But I was just I'm in LA. I got my Gracie Award last night. So congratulations winners from the Gray. SI's amazing, amazing. Um it was all women that were winning awards. And so anyway, this morning,

I was on my way here. I called the lift and I'm downstairs in the hotel and some guy is in the lobby and I guess he must have thought I was in another room and stole, like he thought you knocked off one of his friends and stole from his room. I don't know who was fendom us, but he kept saying, where you're coming from room nine twenty seven. There's not even a nine floors in the hotel. And then he proceeds to follow me outside and tells me that I'm stealing and stealing is wrong, and he's not

trying to let us leave. And so then the lift pulls up and the lift drivers we get in the car and we're like, just go pull off, and he, the lift driver, won't pull off. He's engaging with this guy. Then the cops come yeah, just to get to work something. I don't know what happens if he stole his rolex or something, but he thought somebody stole some items from a room that didn't exist at this particular hotel. Now, yeah, ye, are you sure you're not trying to get in front

of something jewelry? Absolutely, no idea what he was talking about at first when he came down, when he said, hey, are you here with Verrain somebody from room nine to twenty seven, I was like, no, I'm not. I just looking for someone stealing his bag. If you don't know feeling, But I tell you this, his eyes were open wide like he was on something. It probably was that bought something in the morning, three something in the morning in La to something. The cops came and they had to

He wouldn't leave, and he was just going crazy. And that made it until you didn't make it. Yeah, you made it on time. Shout out, All right, let's get the show cracking now, Front page news. What we're talking about, Well, you are going to talk about left and I'm glad we're doing this story this morning because they're putting all kinds of systems in place now just in case something like this happens to you, all right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keeping lock this to

Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne and God. We all to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news now. Last night in sports, the Raptors beat the Bucks one twenty one on two. They tied a series two two. Yeah, that series is definitely going seven games, yes, And now I guess the Warriors just sit back, relaxing, Just just sit back for the heel.

That's all. Got more time for KD to hill, more time for the margan cousin to him, more time for other players to rest up, and they can go win their fourth championship. Right, what else are we talking about five years? Well, Lyft has announced several new initiatives, and they announced these initiatives yesterday. It's supposed to enhance the safety of their passengers, so they're doing an in apt

panic button if you need to call nine one. One other things they've done is they've enlarged the driver's license plate number in the app so people don't get into the wrong vehicle, because that happens to people sometimes as well. And They're also offering sexual harassment prevention training to all of their drivers and writers because of the numerous incidents of harassment or assault that have occurred in these vehicles

over the last few years. And they're also going to require passengers to provide feedback every time they rate a driver less than four stars. So if you do a less than four star rating, you have to give some feedback. I wonder if people are going to really have time to do that though, meaning like if you give less than the fourth star rating, now you're really gonna have time to write a review. Yeah. A lot of times it is just you like giving it on a scale

of you know, one star to five stars. What what the issues were? So like sometimes the person talks too much, you know, Uber now will let you require that the driver doesn't talk to you. I'm not going front. I would complain about smells. I can't stand smells in a car. Bro Like if a cause, like if you you be looking around looking at yourself, like that's stepping some some CAUs of filthy some cars are discussing. But like this morning, I think clearlyiness is an option too. I don't know

what happened, you just sounded like future. All of a sudden, yeah, just like in the middle of what you were saying, it just went straight auto tune. Hell yeah, her was something smells and then it was just like auto tune, and then he turned into a robot. All right, on Sesame Street, there's a new character named Carly, and Carly is a muppet who is in foster care. Check it out, roles. Carly starts sub I don't really want to tell you about it. She's having a hard time, but we're here

for her. We're her for now parents. What that's for now, Parisman. Sometimes even mommy's and daddies need some help taking care of their children. Carly's mommy's been having a hard time, so we are her foster parents or her for now parents. I didn't see one person ever throughout my whole life. Check on Oscar to grouch and wonder why he was living in a mother trash Can you know what I'm saying? He never heard nobody console Oscar like that. In fact,

they called him a grouch. You'd be grouge too if you lived in a trash can. Where was the empathy for Oscar to grouch? Now, all of a sudden, this new person on the scene and they getting all this empathy because they don't get no parents. No parents either, clearly, and missus Nephilpius was like he had some misues as well. He always looked like he was crying. I didn't see all that empathy. I didn't see all that empathy and sympathy back in the day on Testament Street for characters

that we clearly saw. We're in pain, all right. Well, the NFL speaking of being in pain, and the NFL Players Association has announced a new mental health initiative. So the new initiatives requires that every team has to employ a mental health professional. I love to work in the building and also could potentially lead to a change in the league's attitude to our marijuana as far as pain

management treatment. So they're going to explore all of the strategies that help a player deal with acute and chronic pain as well. I love it. This should be in every corporation. You know, we need this in schools. You know you need social emotional learning in schools. You need grief counselors in these schools. You need people that can help you with your trauma. And all of these different organizations man. People come to work every day dealing with something.

People go to school every day dealing with something. So yes, they should have somebody to talk to. So that is beautiful what the NFL is doing? All right, lad is your front page news?

Good morning, good morning, and first hi lady v Charlotmaine, lady, get it off at your because I came across the text message I was getting ready one morning and I decided to pick up my significance of the phone just to see what time it was, and it was on silent and it had message from Crystal. So I flipped the phone and I'm like, okay, it's cool. It's a girl that he used to associate himself with. But I'm asking him, like, why are you having all

these lines of communications still open? If it's just you and I, if we're in a monogogous relationship. You wanted me to cut mine off and I did. I have had no contact with anyone. No one has contacted me because I cut it off like that that is over, cannot contact me. And now to find out that he's still in communication with people from his past. It's like, what is going on? What's going on? It's just a little insurance policy in case you act up. He got

somewhere to go. That's all nothing serious. Do you know what the text sent. I'm not gonna say what it text it. I know what it's said. Yes, I do know what to say. Was he was flirting? She was trying.

You should know better than that. He didn't he wasn't flirting. It might be nothing I'm trying to do because I thought he was black, as black men don't cheat. But now that I know he's the other, he's a whole cheater. Now what did he say when you confronted him. He said that she

was just a friend. They started telling the grocery store a few weeks back and they spoke and wow, I doesn't know why she decided to send a message. These cheaters are still using words like that she's just a friend. Uh, bro, he has disgusted me, so he might be speaking the truth. Well, thank you for calling mama. All right, get it off your chest? Are five eight five one on five one. If you need to vent, hit it up right now.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up, Wait your ass is you're time to get it off your chest. Whether your man or blessed, we want to hear from you on the breakfast clove. Hello, who's this? Get it off your chest? Um? I just wanted to touch on the subject that you guys we're talking about, like the people in the NFL, how they're gonna get people to talk to them about stuff that they're going through, like especially like taking it to your workplace.

Like I agree, Like I feel like, you know, my sister and my thirteen year old nephew were murdered and gary, so I'm already going through stuff at home and I feel like work can either be your work, your pain, or your piece, and I feel like work is my piece because I take care of elderly people, and the last thing I want to hear when I'm going to work, it's a bunch of people complaining. Like we come into this job and we do the same thing every day.

We take care of these residents. And the last thing that you want to hear people complaining about stuff that doesn't even matter. So I understand, like everybody needs someone to talk to, like even me, even what I'm going through. But I feel like work at my peace. So well, you sound like listening to y'all though you sound like you the go to person at your job, and a lot of times the go to person doesn't have anybody

to go to exactly I am. Everybody just keep looking at me, like you so strong, Like how you holding it together? Like you know, I'm trying my best, like this is something tragic that happened with us. I'm trying my best. But when I'm by myself, you know, I break down and I think about my sister and my nephew a lot. This just happened in March. So I try to tell my co workers, like leave that we're it that like, and if you're gonna complain, just don't

come to me because you don't know. Like it takes me like five days out the week. I'll be happy if I wake up one day having a good day the rest, you know, sounding like you definitely need therapy and some type of grief counseling. Baby, absolutely, I agree as well.

We'll tell you about this social media beef that's been going on, and Hazel E even did it this track.

All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked periods clok the morning, the breakfast club, how do you ej mvy Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy, we are to breakfast club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk iced tea. This is the rumor report with Angela ye. Well, I see tech the social media with some advice for Amazon. Now. He put message to Amazon, now that you have regular people making your home deliveries, maybe they should wear a

vest with Amazon Delivery on it. I almost shot at MF creeping up to my crib last night, just saying Now. Somebody wrote, was he not wearing a delivery man uniform? And he said, no, they don't wear any uniforms, just regular people working. I ain't mad at them, just saying that ish ain't safe. Yeah, I mean I told you this last week. You know, I let the dog out on somebody last week. He came in my yard. He had nothing on. He had a uhol truck and I got Scott was like scared. I let the dog on.

The guy ran and then he said he was at Amazon. But yeah, they're right, But that's the whole point of having Amazon branding on the true have them wear Amazon uniforms, right right. So now there was a response from Amazon. They said, just saying things for the suggestion, we mfing love you and our drivers. I'm still not gonna trust that until I see a bunch of different people in Amazon uniforms and I see a bunch of different Amazon trucks.

I need to know what they look like, because that can be a quick little look for the moment people putting Amazon logos on their vehicles and Amazon stuff on their shirts to do home evasion. That could be a quick little lick right now. Amazon also responded, lots of innovations coming on this, and many that already exist to help you track your package and delivery on a map. So that was their response. Well, a couple people might get bit by a dog, into meantime, a couple of

people might get shot, but it'll eventually even itself out. Yeah, because it's scariest scary all right. Now, let's talk about Hazel e versus Young Miami from the City Girls. How did all of this even start? Well, it all started because according to Hazel, she feels like the City Girls stole her song. She had a song called Acting Up and City Girls has a song called act Up. Now, we had played both of those previously and they didn't sound alike to me. So and I don't know that

the City Girls even heard this Haze E song. So after that whole incident happened, uh Kaisha Young Miami took to social media to let her know that she didn't know anything about her song, and she also said to Hazel E, we never heard a song by the ugly ass bitch that sergery go into that whole head. And now Hazel E has responded and put out a this song called added Up. You're wrap anut up. Every time

you think of something to speak up. I've been necting up and y'all play followed the Lizas Lajos and y'allka swallow Laita propping my brand. Shaw has followed the Kasha, you got a problem, Now you need a feature? Half a little girls are somewhere sitting in the bleachers, no cameras, no flashes, no applause. Joe Wan real scammer or fraud careers at a stand still, the light getting dark. Now you've got much time to take yourself to the parks.

I'm trying to be more positive. My therapist always says find something positive and everything. So I'm going to salute all the producers, engineers, studios who make money off people going to record terrible music that should be farted on. Oh my gosh, Joscelyn actually supported that song and put go off bitch in the comments, and that's when Gie Herbo jumped in and said, lawa man, this is weak as hell on bro. So now all these other people are involved in the middle of this beef. So that

leads me to Joscelyn having something to say. She supports Hazel E and responded with this shout out to my bitch, Hazel E. And I didn't know it was a crime to support your homeworks online. And for you trolling nass, nappy headed ass, trolling nast, you know what to find me? Young Miami responded, I'm in Miami. Where you want to meet? On social media? Yeah? Just too much. How do y'all see all this stuff social media? Now, Jocelyn actually had

more to say about coming to Miami. One last mother day bitch I being on TV says you have bogus in your nose. Respect the mother throne. Hole, Respect the throne before you get your head busted. The ass hole doesn't thrown in the reality TV I guess, and Scott

More we know right now xausking me whoever they sell me Miami put up. I'm gonna tell your house something you think you are mother and me and my family

go drag drag your ass right back. ATL be true in Miami, Hell, play with me if you want to man it. Why do I feel like I made a so far? Why do I feel like I made an animal kingdom? Right now? Listen, I love the city girls, right, but I need Young Miami to go back in the studio and re record her verse on Act Up because it sounds so off beat? Am I the only person that I thought I was tripping all this my song? Though the front they'd be singing off beating the club

because they'll be on pills. Listen, I'm too I'm like, am I too old? Am I really hearing? It? Is her second verse? Right? So j killing that beat? But then she comes on and it's like what happened? All right? Well, south Side as you know, who is Young Miami's boyfriend and producer extraordinaire so jumped in and here's what he said. He looked like a man that she is. I promise you I'm gonna not yut everything I look. I'm gonna beat both of y'all has everything I catch y'alls. Haley,

That's not my brother. Let your sister, female cousins, hold your women down on that level. If I was joking Miami, I'll be a little afraid right now. What you beat women? She could take a canappen to her. All right, Well, I'm Agela Year and that is your rumor. We can't condone that. No, it's

so outside. No, all right, well we got front page news. What we're talking about. Well, let's talk about Kamala Harris and a new bill that she wants to reintroduce. All Right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This to Breakfast Club. Good morning, Good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news. Last night, Raptors beat the Bucks one twenty one h two. They tie the

series two two. Yeah. I don't know who's going in that series, but I definitely believe that series is going seven games. And to give the Golden State Wars a lot more time to rest up in hell exactly? And what else we got? Yea well. Senator Kamala Harris is reintroducing a bill from twenty eighteen that she had and that is to tackle racial disparities and maternal health. Now, she released this statement, but Black mothers across the country are facing a health crisis that is driven in part

by implicit bias in our healthcare system. We must take action to address this issue, and we must do it with the sense of urgency that it deserves. So what she wants to do is invest one hundred and fifty million dollars in programs that identify high risk pregnancies and established implicit bias training throughout the medical profession and medical schools so that way they can help attack stereotypes and improve care for black women by reducing bias in judgment

or behavior. They said that the ratio of deaths for white men and a pregnancy related death is thirteen per one hundred thousand live births, but for black women women that number jumps to forty two point eight. Yeah, I mean the bias in the in the lapse in judgment comes from the fact that they just think black women are socialcrung You know, I saw that firsthand when my third child was born last year, because it's like, you know,

we're in a nice hospital. I got an insurance, I got a little change, you know what I mean, And they was like, oh, we don't have any epidurals. Like how you don't have no epidurals. That's great. It's like they don't have no epidurals in the building. So my wife ended up having to do a natural, you know birth. You know, that's that's ridiculous. All right. Now, let's talk about a new Sesame Street character, a new muppet named Carly, and Carly is in foster care. She has a foster

family roles Carli sar sob. I don't really want to tell you about it. She's having a hard time, Elmo, but we're here for her. We're her for now parents. What does for now parismen? Sometimes even mommy's and daddies need some help taking care of their children. Carly's mommy's been having a hard time, so we are her foster parents or her for now parents. You know, no disrespect to Cary. I respect foster care kids, but I have a problem with the fact that nobody ever gave oscar

to grout you hug, you know what I mean? Where was his parents? Nobody cared that he lived out of a goddamn trash can you know they just labeled him a grouge. You'd be a grouch too if you had to live in a goddamn dumpster. Okay, do we know that he lived there or was he just hanging out there? Didn't you knock it off? Even if he was hanging out there, that's even worse. Nobody said, why are you hanging out in this trash can oscar instead of being

at home with your parents? Where all your parents? I would say that trash can was clean car getting all that love. I can never look clean. I used to pop out that trash can with banana peels all over his head. We don't know what was going on in that trash can. He clearly was eating a banana stuck. Knock it off all right, and lifted. Adding a panic button so if you have an issue inside of your lift,

you can dial nine one one from the app. They also are doing an enlarge version of the driver's license plate number in the app so that you don't end up going into the wrong car, which people have been doing, and they're giving sexual harassment prevention training to all of their drivers and writers because of all the harassment or assaults that have occurred in ride hell vehicles over the

last few years. So all of those things they're trying to do, and they also want lift passengers to provide feedback. So every time you give a driver less than four stars, which I might have to do today, that information will then be anonymously communicated to the driver so you can see why you got that low rating. So there yet, good? All right, Well that is front page news. Now when we come back, Humble the Poet will be joining us. Explain to the people who that is. I love Humble

the Poet. Humble the Poet is a rapper from Toronto. But he wrote this great book called Unlearned, one hundred and one Simple Truths for a Better Life. It's a real quick read. Already ready about a month ago. I think. I think it's an amazing book. And it's one of those books that you can, you know, go to every day because he's got these, like to one or two page you know, affirmations and thoughts and ideas that he has.

But he's a very very sharp individual. So I want you to go out there in bide this book, but also listen to Humble the Poet when he pulls up in a few moments. All right, Humble a Poet will be kicking in with us next. And also you can get on the phone lines right now ask ye if you need relationship advice or any type of advice. He's here to help you today. Eight hundred five eighty five, one oh five one, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good 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, Humble a poet. Thank you so much for having me. Welcome, Siry. I've read two great books this year. I've read more than two books, but my two favorite books are Digital Minimalism in this book right here, called Unlearned by my man

Humble the Poet. You know why because when I saw the title of the book, I said, that is what I'm doing at this point in my life, more so than anything unlearning. So what's more important learning or unlearning? Humble, it's definitely of the unlearning. I think at this point you know, there's not really a generation gap. There's just people who are open to new ideas and people who are not open to new ideas. Oh, you're not open

to new ideas. Uh, you know. The only way you can do that is to let go of old ideas. So some stuff that mattered when we were teenagers doesn't matter no more. We had to let that go, and we have to continually relearn new things. The only way to relearn and to keep ourselves open is to unlearn things. Not only does it not matter, it just don't serve us anymore. Yeah, exactly. I mean again, a lot of us grew up in challenging neighborhoods. A lot of us

grew up in challenging situations. You get certain strategies, you put up certain guards, and it made sense back then, and then you come into a whole different world and it doesn't matter anymore, and now it's just holding you back. Yes, life is the obstacles straight up. Let's let's let's let's bring it back. Let's let's find out who Humble the poet is? Yes, where you from? What you do? Because when they google you, it's more than just a book? Is you wrap as well? Who you are, I get

real busy. I'm from the beautiful city of Toronto, born and raised, and I was an elementary school teacher. And I was working as a school teacher, and I discovered spoken word poetry, saw someone perform and fell in love with it, and it was a great way to meet girls. I can do this, So I'm performing, doing it for fun. From that transition into music, you know, and just put a beat on the back, started rapping on that. I fell in love with lyricism, was doing that, but just

doing it for fun. Never thought I never saw no one looking like me doing it, so I never thought I could do it on a bigger level. So you do all this while you still being at the teacher, while I'm a teacher, because I'm just doing this, putting stuff on you, putting lyrics videos on YouTube, not even showing my face. At this point, I didn't even have

the confidence to do that. So your students had no idea that their teacher, and the first couple of years no, and then eventually they figured it out as I got a little bit more and more popular in the city and I started putting a music videos kind of learning the game, and then about probably a couple of years into it then, like the students knew and they'd be like, Misster sing, we see you swearing on the internet and our parents saw you on TV and everything. So but

everyone was cool with it. You know. I grew up in a neighborhood that was all hip hop as well, and from there, you know, I fell in love with the lifestyle and teachers getting in Canada at least we get paid in the summer. So I suspend my summer as just being a wild artist, knowing falling out, balling out no one. I had money coming in from the teaching job, and I fell in love with it. Was

fell in love with the life. You know, I'm hanging out with people who are Nickel and Diamond, trying to make it all happen just through rap, and I had a little bit of a cushion with me. But at the end of twenty ten, I mess some dudes that were like, Yo, we can get you a deal and this will pay you more than you guy as a teacher, And you know, without thinking about it, because I was just in love with the idea, I left everything and I got into into music and it took me about

a year to realize that this deal wasn't happening. You never got a deal. There was no deal. He just produces. I was working with and these guys, you know, one dude sold a beat to like one rapper ones who like signs to some label out in Japan, and then he just took the paperwork, changes it up. He believed in my talents and he just like, look, if I can keep finessing this, I'll probably get the money eventually. You think, uh, he had he had funny intentions, but

I don't think he was trying to hurt me. But I think when he got exposed he ran. You know, he didn't have an adult conversation with me. It was like, yo, I messed us up, so you never smoked him sense? Then no, well he ain't showing his face no more. So he still have you on paperwork? No, no, you know what I mean, nobody has no. His paperwork wasn't even real. He was just just trying to finesse it. He was just trying to borrow from Envy and give it to Charlottagne and then try to get it from

you and give it to him after. He was just trying to finesse it. PUNI, Yeah, I have no ill wilshwards him because you see, Hi, you wanna beat him up? Not anymore. I mean I'm in a good spot now. So uh, He's what helped me pull the trigger and leave the comforts of his day job. The journey there. Yeah, exactly. And that's the thing, you know, as as jay Z says, the loss and the loss is a lesson, and that's exactly what happened. I learned from it. So it took

me about a year to figure it out. And by then I was like living off credit cards, living off line of credit, borrowing the money. I was like eighty grand in debt. I had no way to make, no money, and I was just feeling sorry for myself and you know, taking muscle relaxes and a whole bunch of other stuff

and just lying in bed avoiding everybody. And then after about two weeks it was it was actually Jay Cole Dollar in the dream part three where he goes, you know you're gonna let this turn, let you turn bitter and cold, or you're gonna flip the dollar turned into a dream And it's probably that two weeks of rest as well. But I got up and I just like snapped, and I was just like, I have to do something. And step one was take responsibility. Stop feeling story for yourself.

Stop blaming other people. You're not a victim. You always The only way you have power is when you find the responsibility in the story where you could have done something different and where I had control. So I had control in terms of who I trusted. I control in terms of was I listening to somebody's words which sounded nice? Was I paying attention to their actions because actions scream,

words whisper. And it took me about four years to get my ass out of debt, and it came from selling everything I had, moving back with my mom and dad, doing the struggling artist's life that I was avoiding for so long, booking my own shows, fifty people in a room at the same time, I just kept writing. When my studio guys stopped picking up the phone because he was having his own domestic issues, I was like, I

don't know what to do. And then my friend Lily Lily Sing, you guys might have heard of She's you know, she got her own NBC show. We had just come friends. At this point, She's like, figure out what you can do by yourself. And I'm like, I can write, you'll just start writing. So I just kept writing, and I was really getting upset at all, like the Tumbler quotes and all these motivational quotes I was reading because nothing in there was practical. It was just like, you know,

everything will work out, just believe, just have faith. And I was like, I am I going to pay my mortgage with your motivational quotes. I needed to focus on something way more pragmatic. And when she was like, focused on what you can do by yourself, I just started writing and posting up on my Facebook back then, and people were like, yo, you're telling me my story. You

know it sounds like you live in my head. And people like you should write a book, and I was like, I don't know how to do that either, And then I learned about crowdfunding, and then I actually crowdfunded. This book was three hundred people. I raised twenty six thousand dollars. My biggest contributor was a Harvard professor I never met before, and he gave me fifteen hundred dollars and he goes, I'm just proud of watching an artist take his business in his own hands. And he showed me a quote

in his office. I went to go visit him at Harvard. He had a quote of Andy Warhol saying business is the most interesting type of art, and I thought that was so dope. So just getting a lot of support and then getting to this point where I was just like, yo, I have a lot of people have to prove right, all right. We got more with Humble a Pop. When

we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, comte everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy we are to Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Humble A poet. Now what did your mom say about you? Going from a teacher to new rapper and offer. So they saw that I was working and they were supportive. But when I had to come back kind of, you know, with my head down, tail between my legs a little bit broken, there was a lot of I told you so.

But I had to eat that because it wasn't like it wasn't my fault, right, you know, I had to own that. You have to own the consequences of what you do. So I owned it, and I just had to kind of start from zero and build myself back up and just learning different people's stories. You know, A big one for me was the fiftieth Lawift chopped. You quote fifty in this book a lot a word from fifty center. I wonder why fifty meant so much to

you at that point. It was probably just because I picked up the fiftieth Law and I just spent a lot of time reading that and I love that book as an amazing book, and a lot if it had to do was just fear, fear, and also the idea that listen opportunity. You know, being an opportunity opportunistic person does not mean a negative thing. It means you're finding opportunity in every situation. So like when this man got shot nine times, he figured out a way to turn

that into a marketing ploy. He figured out a way to sell off that. He you know, he turned himself into an eight figure guy off that and really understanding that there is no good and bad. I was thinking real simple back then, like this is good news, this is bad news, this is a good person, this is a bad person, and he really that book really helped me see the gray and really start to realize that, hey, in every situation, if I stop judging it and spend

more time understanding it. A lot more is going to come from that. And once I understood situations, I found more opportunities and now it's like everything. As I said, you know, back to jay Z a lossing the loss is a lesson and you start picking up all the

different jewels and gems when people speak. I mean, I've learned so much from breakfast club interviews, anything from like jay Z's last interview, from you know Russ giving you the blueprint, from Nipsey's interview, learning about scared, the scarcity mindset and the scarcity principles. It's just you can learn from everybody. Everybody is your teacher when you have an open mind, even crackheads, even crackheads, if you learn from that. I want to talk about some of your lessons man.

You say expectations are a bigger enemy to our happiness and our circumstances. Found on that a little bit. Yeah, So when we're unhappy is when the picture in our head doesn't match the picture in front of us. But the problem is we focus on what's happening in front of us, which we don't have a lot of control over. So for me, it became Listen, if you're not happy and you feel helpless and you're out and things are

out of control, focus on what's in your power. And the number one thing in our power that's always in our power is we can control our expectations. We can control our attitude, and we can control our effort. People can't take that away from us. How does it feel when your students, your former students hit you up now because I'm sure they're older now and you see you're doing those things and they remember, yeah, they've booked me for shows. Some of them are like running student unions

at their universities and stuff. It feels amazing, and it also has changes us from a privilege to responsibility. In the beginning, it ushould just be like, oh man, I'm so blessed get to meet all these people. Now, I'm like, you've met so many people, and so many people have gone out of their way to help you. There's a reason you're doing this. You have a responsibility, you know. So what took me ten years to figure out is my responsibility to make sure someone can figure it out

in five and then put it in their head. The next generation got it figured it out in two so we can start catching talent super young, supporting them, you know, building that entrepreneurship, taking all these lessons that I've been learning from hip hop my entire life, and taking it to that next level. Because for me, it was seeing

entreaty thousand in that elevator's video wearing a turban. That was the first time you know that put You know, that straightened out my spine and gave me some confidence and be like, look, I can fit into this culture. And you know Nick Cannon doesn't give you that same confidence when you see him in his turban. I mean, I have to have a conversation with him about it, because I'm not sure. I haven't talked to him about that.

I seen him once with it. I don't know what like his motivations behind none of us, none of us. Let's let's get back to some of these lessons in the book. You said, the fear of uncomfortable is an uncomfortable situations and uncomfortable places robs us of the amazing potential that we all have. Yeah, we really have to understand our relationship with fear. There's nothing wrong with being afraid. We're all afraid of something, and sometimes it's not even

about being afraid of danger. The problem is, you know, ten thousand years ago, we had to worry about getting eaten by some next animal. Now we're worried about going outside with a mustard, a mustard staying on our shirt, or we're going outside and somebody recognizing that we recycle the outfit, or being embarrassed or something else. And the problem with that is those fears kind of stay a lot longer, but we don't understand that we grow when

we lean into the fears. And anytime we're scared, the first thing we're gonna want to do is run to something that we know, run something familiar, and that's what we call our comfort zone. You know, I always encourage people like find someone who doesn't believe what you believe and hang out with them, talk with them. That's why I don't agree with the Facebook man, because I think you should have people out there that challenge your ideas,

challenge your thoughts, challenge your opinions. You need to be challenged. You need to have your beliefs challenged regularly. You need to be able to let them go. You need to have your biases challenge regularly. You want to be in a situation where every single day you learn something brand new, and just like, that's what makes life exciting, like learning new things. You know, if you're not growing, you're not living. How do you handle social media personally? UM, I mean,

I'm really fortunate. If you guys look up my comments. Everyone's super nice to me. I mean, and I challenging. No one's really challenging me. And I mean I grew up welcome to the breakfast club to nah me a lot of love too, I know it. So I have a six. I don't get offended ever, I don't ever get offended. I think people can't offend you without your permission,

and nobody has permission to offend me. And so with that, even if someone says something mean to me online, if it ain't witty you like, I'll feel bad that didn't put no effort ince right. We can be pushed by fear or pulled by love in the exact same direction, and we just got to be a lot more self aware and pay attention to that. I think every single

person one of the sea. It's not even the secret, but one of the simple mind shifts we can all make to feel better about life is think about yourself in terms of how you can bring value to other people. You know, and when you can bring value to other people, that will help you pay your bills, that will help you move further in life because it's what you do for other people which matters, and that's what's going to be left here when you're long gone. Yeah, I feel

like that's your true purpose in life and service to others. Yeah, and sick heritage. The heritage I grew up and it's called sava and that's what it was. And it was everything from cleaning people's shoes to serving people food to you know, sharing your knowledge, sharing your gyms, you know, understanding what can I do for you? You say, you say it's healthy to have a bunch of emotions occupying

your heart as long as you clean up afterwards. So how would you best advise somebody to clean up their emotions? So the analogy that I read that was best is, like, you know, all your emotions are important, and you're kind of the hotel room. So every day a new emotion checks in, and sometimes the emotions leave the rooms spick and span, spotless, and you're grateful to have them. In other rooms just trash it, like a rock star and you own the hotel and it's your job just to

clean up and get ready for the next guests. So you know, every emotion exists for a reason, like pain is important. Pain tells us things, you know, Regret is important. It tells us something, It tells us to, Hey, revisit that memory until you learn something from it. If you haven't learned nothing from it, we're gonna keep poking at

you until you do. So often we have this idea, and I think we got it from TV, you know, or movies or religion, that you know you can live happily ever after you know, you hit this certain level, now you can just live out your life happy. But there's no such thing as everlasting happiness. There's always going to be challenges. There's always gonna be bullshit, there's always no matter who you are, no matter how much money

you got, is always going to be there. Some of us are going to be fortunate enough to choose those problems. Some of us are going to be fortunate enough to be in a situation where those problems are exciting and those challenges are there, but they're not going anywhere. So let go of that promise that you can be happy. You can live happily ever after. Stop looking at somebody's Instagram and thinking that they got it all and they're

always happy. We're all dealing with different things and the moment you're able to lean into that and you're like, look, I'm looking forward to to today's challenges. Uh, you know, I'm gonna embrace these things. I'm not gonna judge today as a good day or a bad day. I think you're You're completely free and now you can learn, grows, stay stimulated, and have as much fun as you want on this planet. All right, well, Unlearned, you can pick

it up right now. I love it so much, man, poet, we appreciate you for joining us and thank you for the gifts. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the breakfast club. Good morning? Was happening about? Um? Humble the poem to a lot of people have been hitting me. What's the same of the book, Charlomagne. The book is called Unlearned, one hundred and one Simple truth to live a better one hundred and one Simple

Truths for a better life. And it's a really great read. Man. You can go follow Humble the Poet. He's actually a great follow on Instagram too. His Instagram is at Humble the Poet and it's spelled thh not negro ebonics. But now he's a very very very sharp dude man. And his book is called Unlearned because I feel like, at this point in my life, I am unlearning more than I am actually learning, if that makes any sense. So that's why. Yeah, that's why I gravitated towards the book.

I mean, there's just a lot of things that I grew up believing in thinking that just don't serve me anymore. So I'm doing a lot of unlearning. That's why. And that's when when I saw that tight, I was like, oh that looked interesting, and I read it and I loved it. So Scoop the Humble the Poet. All right, well, yeah, yes, we got rumors on the way. What we're talking about, Yes, we'll talk about one of your favorite talk show hosts who has renewed their contract. Okay, all right, we'll get

into that next. Keep it locked as the Breakfast Low. Good morning, d j Envy, Angela, Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Ellen. It's about is the rumor report? Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, there were rumors that Ellen de Generous was ready to step away from her daytime talk show, But it looks like those rumors that were a false. She tweeted out a video talking about extending her contract for three more years. So I have

been doing this show for sixteen years. That's about three thousand episodes. It's been a lot of fun in sixteen years. Is a pretty good run. Sometimes in a relationship, you need to take a break, but I don't. You're stuck with me because I just signed for three more years. I like the misdirect thought she was about that Naci was retiring, but she's back. Well, she's not going anywhere all right now. Jessica Alba, she talked about her relationship

with her own body. She was doing a in group health conference in La over the weekend, and she was there during a talk with Gwyneth Paltrow to Ragie, Olivia Wild and Busy Phillips, and she said that because she was voluptuous and had a booty, her family wouldnt let her wear certain types of clothing. She said then I stopped eating a lot. When I became an actress. I made myself look more like a boy, so I wouldn't

get as much attention. She said she also felt preyed upon by men when she was first starting out in Hollywood. She said, nothing about being successful in this business is easy. She said, you can't be bitter. But she did admit that she has faced sexism both in Hollywood and in the boardroom because she does have her honest company. She says, certain people in Hollywood underestimated me. They absolutely thought I was nuts. But as a woman, as an actress, I've

dealt with that before. I've dealt with people undermining me. I've dealt with people thinking that I would do anything to get ahead and be successful. So good for her that she's managed to still overcome all of those struggles that she's had and everything that she's felt about her body and still become successful, because that can really take a toll on you. All right, Now, let's get into little nas X himself. Then, Yeah, that's his name, still

an old town road. That song has been so successful for him that he did something really nice for Billy Ray Cyrus, who jumped on the remix. Check it out. What's up, everybody? We're about to pull up at Billy Ray Cyrus's career and I'm postmating him a gift. What are you doing here? Man? I got you something? I got you something? What are you talking about? I need you to come out here. Yours tell Road number one

week seven weeks. Man, Wow, Maserati. That was a Maserati that was actually in the video, and that was pretty dope that he did that. He making that kind of money already seven weeks and number one. He's performing like crazy, and I'm sure he got the sponsorship. I'm sure he got some sponsorship from Postmates because he said Postmas like three times. But they still dope. I ain't gonn friend.

He keeping some good records from being number one. I loved that Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber record I Don't Care, Ain't gonna friend. It debuted that number two, but man, that record jam it ain't it doom care? Well, maybe later on somewhere down the line, that'll be number one, all right. Young Thug and AEG and av I Entertainment have announced a brand new indoor live event concept. It's called Family Business and a Security event that will take

place August thirty first in Dallas, Texas. They said, we're not about being the multi stage festival with three stages and everyone and their mother on the lineup. There's enough people in the market and very respected people doing that already. We don't want to get in that lane. There's so much opportunity right now with hip hop. There's so many things that haven't been done yet. So they are talking about adding different artists. They're gonna announce seven additional artists

on May twenty ninth, besides Young Doug. Tickets do go on sale on May thirty first, so I guess we don't know a whole lot about it yet. But they're gonna also expand that event into multiple markets in twenty twenty. Okay, all right, well I'm Antelauye and that is your rumor report. Thank you, Missie Charlemagne. Yes, are you giving that donkey too? You know, I need doctor Ben Carson to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have award

with him. And please bring your milk because I think we're gonna have cookies. All right, we'll get into that next Keeping locked this to Breakfast Club. Good morning, I was born on Donkey Donkey Devil breakfast club. Yes, don't here today for Wednesday, May twenty second goes to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, doctor Ben Carson. Now, I don't know why I thought doctor Ben Carson stepped down from this position, but he didn't. Well, right, No,

he's leaving after Trump's first term. Yes, he's leaving after Trump's first term. Well, hopefully his only term. Now. Yesterday, doctor Ben Carson testified before a Queen Maxine Water's Financial Services Committee for the first time since Maxine became the chair in January. If it is true that you never get a second chance to make a first impression, well

doctor Ben Carson blew it all right. Now. Quick backstory on doctor Ben for those who don't know, he's a former brain surgeon and Republican presidential candidate who are celebrity in Chief. Donald J. Trump nominated as his Hutch secretary in twenty seventeen despite him having zero relevant experience. Now, doctor Ben was trying to defend a budget postal that

would Cutch sixteen point four percent from HUDG budget. He was also questioned about a plan hud anounced last year to impose rent increases of as much as one hundred and fifty percent on people who lived in subsidized housing. Now, if you thought doctor Ben Carson had no idea what he was doing as Secretary of HUD, well this exchange confirms it. Okay, because there's a basic housing terminology. I know a little basic housing terminology like envy. I know

you know some basic housing terminology, right, correct? You know what affordable housing is for the most part, the mixed to use housing. We know what opportunity zones are. We know what amis are, right PMBs American Medium Income Present market Value. Okay, we all know some basic housing terminology. Well, we might know more basic terms about housing than the Secretary of HUD doctor Ben Carson. Because Representative Katie Porter asked Doctor Ben about a common acronym used to describe

four closed properties. She asked him about R e os R eos. That's an R A E and oh, okay, would you like to hear what doctor ben Carson thought she was talking about. Let's listen. I'd also like you to get back to me if you don't mind, to explain the disparity in rio rates. Do you know what an rio is? An oo? R OREO and r EO R real estate. What's c O stand for the organization owned? Real estate owned? That's what happens when a property goes to foreclosure. We call it an ri EO. Okay, se

had to explain it to him. Was it that mb seminar if he would have learned? Gee, when you're talking for a closed properties, an ARIO stands for real estate owned. Okay. If you want to snack with some warm milk, if it's Christmas and you're trying to leave Santa something to snack on, an orio as a chocolate sandwich cookie. Now, let me tell you something. Doctor Ben was doing something called psychological projection with that statement. I'm no neurosurgeon. I

didn't even go to college. I graduated from night school in nineteen ninety eight, and my graduating class was supposed to be nineteen ninety six. So that tells you all you need to know about me, all right, But psychological projection is a defense mechanism in which the human ego

defends itself against unconscious impulses or quality. So I think doctor Benn has an unconscious impulse to defend himself when he hears the word ario, because he has been called one so much in his life, Okay, and Orio, and Orio is a black person who acts white, you know, black on the outside, white on the inside. Now, I don't like that term because black people are not monolithic, and there's no way to act black and there's no

way to act white. All right. Just because doctor Ben Carson is a well educated neurosurgeon who doesn't speak fluid nigga doesn't mean he's act no white. Okay. So I don't agree with calling people orioles, but I can see why you would call doctor Ben Carson one. And I truly believe, you know, he's been called one his whole life, that it was a psychological projection. Okay. He feels like Milk's favorite cookie. So when he heard that, he just

got defensive, a right. He was ready to prove that he did not consist of two chocolate wafers and he was not full of sweet cream filling. All right. If Katie Porter had really called doctor been causing an ario, he was ready to reply, you don't know me. I am big Bee from the D and you will put some respect on me, all right. Yeah, y'all don't know big Bee from the D. I ain't the big bee from the D from the streets. Let's hit a big bee talk that talk. As a teenager, I would go

after people at rocks and faceballs. Carson describes punching a classmate with a lock in his hand the age fourteen. Another teenager Angerman, I had a large camping knife, and I tried to stab him in the abumen more. Fortunately, under his clothing he had on a large metal belt buckle and a knife. Plade struck with such force that it broke. Big Bee from the D dropping a clue, Big from the D Orio, he's no damn oreo that big bee from the D. How dare you call him

an orio? Now Big Bee from the D decided to play along, and he got on Twitter and posted a picture of him holding a pack of family size orioles. Now, I am a stern believer of living your truth. It's the eminem and eight my theory. I wrote about it in my first book, Black Privilege. And I guess since Big b from the dis from Detroit, he decided to take a page out of be Rabbit's book and say everything about himself that any hater could possibly say. So

he held up that pack of orioles. Well, it worked for be Rabbit, it don't work for doctor Ben Carson because even though I don't agree with the term oriole, I can see why they call him that. All Right, you can't take a picture with a pack of orioles, just like all Kelly can't take a picture in front of a high school. All right, oj can't pretend to be Jason Bohe's for Halloween. It's just some things that should not be done, and an oriole holding a pack

of orioles is one of them. Look, if you don't know something, don't pretend to. Okay, I'm not an expert at anything. I just have some experiences. And when you don't know, like doctor Ben Carson, or have any experiences in a certain field like doctor Ben Carson, and you end up mistaking our eos for cookies. I'm smart enough to know I'm dumb. Okay, you have to be smart

enough to know you're not very smart. All you can be like doctor Ben Carson and not be smart enough to know everything, but be dumb enough to try anything, including being the secretary of HUD when you have no idea what the hell you are doing. Please let mem give doctor bencosting the biggest he hall he ha, he ha, you stupid mother farre you do requirements or anything? Clearly guard clearly not. I mean I can see where you

can get some acronyms messed up. Like if somebody came to me and said, NBA right now, I probably think young boy, you know before anything. You know what I'm saying. If you came to me and said PSA, I think of jay Z and just blaze allowed me to reintroduce myself, you know what I'm saying, But I would I would get back focused in two seconds. All right, Well, thank you for that donkey. Today, next ask YE eight hundred five A five one oh five one. If you need

relationship advice to any type of advice, call ye. Now was the breakfast club? Good morning. The body is DJ Envy Angela, Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. It's time to ask Ye.

They came up with a diagnosis that it was a rare muscle issues. But both my legs seized up on and I couldn't move my nephew. That has to me all the time,

and I want to talk. That's scary. Yeah, yeah, yeah, my nephew. I never felt this paid for my life. I wouldn't wish that on the devil. That's all right, brother, they have I'm glad you're feeling betty, but you know it's even more important that you have friends who are

your family. Yeah. I didn't have friends that were calling me for living way stop I used to work with when I grew up down so well, you might need to have your funeral in him and weighing, because if you have your funeral in Columbia, it's gonna be white. You know what it is? Alright, brother, al right, it sounds like some less obligations for you. Thank you very much, Have a wonderful day. Day two now all right? Ask ye eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

If you need to vent, you get this up at any time Colins. Now's the breakfast I'm comring e j Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are to breakfast club we're in the middle of Ask ye, Hello, who's this hey, frenchie? What's your question for ye? It was this discussion on Facebook yesterday saying that if your man picks you up and his sister's in the front seat. Should his sister get out and lets you sit in the front. How far are you guys going, like maybe

like four or five years into the relationship? No, she meant how far are you going in the trip? No, I would say this. If I was the sister, I would get out exactly. As a matter of respect, I would. I would do that, you know. But and sometimes, like if my boyfriend picks me up and his sisters in the car, I'd be like sitting a friend and she

won't she'll move and get in the back. But I think that's more on him to make that, because I think you, as a girlfriend shouldn't be the person to be like, hey, you gotta get in the back the boy If she doesn't move and get in the back, then the boyfriend needs to be like, hey, let us sit in the front. That's what should happen. I agree. I just want to another opinion because it was a

big thing yesterday on Facebook. So I was just asking y'all over there talking about some real highbrow stuff on Facebook. Getting some of that education. I will say, if y'all only going a few blocks, it's not that big. I know she's gonna get out before me. I don't have a problem with that. But if it's like a long ride, I'm definitely not sitting in the back right now. No four hour trip, all right, yeah, definitely not. Thank you, all right, have a good all right, let's go to

another line. Hello, who's this brit Hey, Brittany? What's your question for you? Okay? So I do for like four years, right, and we moved in together after two years, um down in another state we're out from, and then he wanted to move to another state, and so we did. So we've been doing together for two years. And now that we moved back to the other state where he's from, now he wants to break up. Now my kids are

to him and everything, but now he wants to break up. Well, it looks like you guys are broken up because you can't stay with somebody that doesn't want to be with you, right, But why did you move all the way up here? If that was from your decision, because we haven't even been in for a full year yet, Because he said I was gonna say curse word. Yeah, I mean, look, clearly he doesn't want to be with you. And if somebody wants to break up with you and they're telling

you that you can't force him this day. Right, he tells to me the reason why we were breaking up is one thing. And then yesterday we got a big argument and now he's talking about old were wreaking up because it's your mouth, because you don't know when to shut up. But I'm really though, if I actual a question, I feel that you should respond with the correct, with the truth answer. It's interesting that he doesn't want to

work on things, and that should tell you a lot. Well, at first he was saying he didn't want to work on everything, and then we could get pack together whatever. We just need some time apart. And now he's like, no, your mouth, your mom, you got too much. Move girl. Sounds like he's back home when he wants to do him. Yeah, I guess so, but you don't know too. I just moved back where I'm from. I think you need to do what you need to do for yourself. Okay, he

said he wants to break up with you. That means y'all are broken up. So now you got to worry about you and your kids. That's the priority, not him. All right, all right, well, thank y'all. I love with you, guys. I look at every morning. So thank you, thank you for having me days. Thank you. All right, ask ye eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Now we got rumors on the way. Yes, Cardi b had to cancel and reschedule the show. Find out what happens

that forced to have to do that. You know, she's very honest about everything. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This to Breakfast Club. Good morning, good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Michael Jackson. She's filling the team. This is the

rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, let's not talk Michael Jackson for real, because Aaron Carter is going to be on a marriage boot camp and he's going to be sharing his thoughts on Michael Jackson and all that controversy from Leaving Neverlands documentary. Now here's what he had to say in exclusive footage that People Magazine got from that series. I learned that I hadn't

revealed and put out everything else except for that. Participating in Family blou Camp literally gave me the strength and the ability to feel more comfortable in my own skin. Michael was a really good guy. He never did anything that was inappropriate, except for one time. There was one thing that he did that was a little bit inappropriate. What could Michael Jackson have done that was inappropriate? He's still holding him down, though he's still saying he's a

great guy. So I don't know what it is now. He said I told the same two years ago on sweater. He said this for no money, So what's your point. I'm also his best advocate, considering my story validates he didn't do anything effing chill. My book is about my life, not about my life revolving around Michael. Everyone backed the f off, So it could be some backlash that he might have gotten from even mentioning anything that might have

him scared to say what it is. But I guess we'll have to watch Mary's boot camp to find out, right if there's any more information. I was on a flight with him one time, and he looks bad. He looks like he's in bad shape, like really really bad. I don't know. I haven't seen him in person, so I couldn't tell you all right now, Cardie B. She had to reschedule a concert, and that's because she's had plastic surgery and she simply has to arrest. Doctors had

encouraged that she just shouldn't perform right now. She has to let the swelling go down. That takes time, and her body has to fully recover from her plastic surgery, so they're saying she needs a couple of weeks of rest and relaxation. So she's been very open about the fact that she's decided to undergo some procedures after giving birth and now she can't just get right back to work. She did say she's very disappointed. She hates to let her fans down, but she wants to make sure that

they know they will see her in September. So Courty needs arrest. I think last week she said that she wasn't supposed to be doing the show because she just had light bol section, but she wanted to work for fans. And sometimes, like what I said, section O light bol section, Yeah, sometimes you just gotta rest, sit down, rest, let your body hill. Yeah, and has some time and with your baby.

I know you out there getting that money, getting thatsh money, but your body is important and if it's telling you you gotta slow down. You gotta slow down, all right now? Whoopi Goldberg's begin of slowing down. According to her doctor, she had a one in three chance of dying from pneumonia. Okay. A Monday's episode of the View, she was joined by her primary physician, doctor Joy Rodriguez, and Martin Greenberg, who treated her during her three week hospital stay. And here's

what they said. I could barely understand who being what she was saying because she was heaped with chattering and chattering, was gasping for air. And then when she said I just want to lay down and go to sleep, I'm like, oh, hell no, you're not going to sleep? Yeah, right, because you don't know. I mean, it just sounded very serious. But when she said I just want to lay down, did that do it for you? Absolutely? I tried not to sound scared. Thompson's I did. I was afraid she

wasn't going to wake up. That's what I'm saying. You gotta take these things seriously, absolutely, all right. Anne shout out to Max Be. His birthday was yesterday and he put out a new single.
