Fifty per cent. Righteous year, I love you fifty percent. Righte the ratchets to sit down. You come to the most prominent form for what your ass up early in the morning. But they tell me it was y'all. I said, hell yeah, I'm getting the small stage, smaller shop three people's choice unless I've got you Jarmo made god people who I can't believe you guys are the basket. Look
did we know this breakfast club? Good morning Usca yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo. Good morning Angelo. Ye damn Monday, Charlomagne, the guy Peace of the planet. It is Monday. Yes, it's Monday. Back to the work week. I think it's the first Monday I've worked on you, is it? What do you mean? Yea, Because we got back from vacation. I came back on the tuols. They didn't think the next week with Mark Luke King Junior Day. Maybe I
did work on Monday. I don't remember anyway, Good morning, good morning. Did everybody enjoy their weekend? Yep, I had a great weekend. I just really relaxed and spent time with the family, watched football with the sun, and I had a great weekend. I feel stupid, though, because I'm taking my son to the super Bowl this year. It's a it's a I guess it's a yearly thing now every year we go to the Super Bowl. So I got tickets to the super Bowl, but I didn't book
my flight as it yet. So when I checked the flight on Thursday, flights was like two hundred and twenty dollars. So I was like, I wait till Monday. Damn it. Man flights to four hundred dollars now they damned that devil. I guess after Tom Brady won last night, why would you wait? Though? I don't know, It's not like the super Bowl was moving anywhere, you know what I mean? No one knew who it was gonna be for a
year and some change. I really waited because I didn't know what time his last class was, so I was trying to leave after his last class, and me waiting for him just cost me four hundred dollars. Now, what's the social distancing policies of the Super Bowl there? I believe only thirty percent of the arena will be packed. I doubt that this year because this is the first time ever that a home team is playing in their home arena. I think they're gonna squeeze a few more
in there. And they're giving seventy five hundred tickets to healthcare workers, so send you workers, So that's gonna be pretty cool. So I'm excited about that. I'm excited to take him to the game. It's it's a father and son, you know, time of bonding and we get to watch the game, you know, shoot the end. She's getting older, so that's what I really love about it. So hell is a father and son super Bowl? Yeah, Tom Brady versus Patrick Mahon, That's what it is. So I'm excited
about that. Now, what about your weekend? Ye? Uh, this weekend. I was working this weekend, So that's it. Now back home, you got a buzz. I don't know what disconnecting is? That is that for me? Let me see, Yes, it's from you. Sounds like, you know, when your your cell phone is too close to something, you hear that bugs. That's what it sounds like. But we know that's not the case. So you might just have to disconnect and reconnect. What's the beauty of live radio people. Okay, we're gonna
work these Kings side in real time. That's right, Well, we gotta send, uh what do we Definitely, we're definitely sending a positive energy, love and light to the family of Larry King. Yes, rest in peace to one of the greatest radio television broadcasters to ever do it. I mean even saying that, saying he's one of the greatest to ever do it is absolutely positively an understatement, because you know, the words can't really quantify how amazing Larry
King was. Yeah, I was checking to make sure, but we're gonna rerun his interview that he came up here and did with us. Uh, Larry King interview with everybody you could possibly imagine, from Malcolm to Martin Nelson. I don't know if interviewed Martin. He definitely interviewed Malcolm X right now, Malcolm X man Della uh Parks. I don't remember I'm saying Martin. I remember saying Malcolm. But you know, we interviewed Larry King twice, if I'm not mistaken. The
first time he came was in twenty fifteen. That's before we were putting videos on YouTube. That's when you know our heart was still in the dark age remembering stuff on the dot com. But another time we interviewed him as well. And I've been on his show a couple of times. But yeah, I was watching watching back his interview from twenty fifteen this weekend, and it was a lot of prophetic things were set in there. Yeah, we're gonna get that back on and then we got front
page News. What we're talking about? You trying to make sure my microphone's working? Is that okay? Now? Mic sounds nice? Check one, my mike. How y'allach Salton Pepper this weekend and y'all ain't got it? My mic sounds nice? Check too. That song wasn't even in it, so still Salton Pepper. Yeah. You know what I've seen over the weekend too, I've seen Wendy Williams documentary. I watched that too. That came out the person they played the place that played Charlemagne
in the movie. Yes, oh yeah, the movie I saw. I saw that day. I'm in the documentary too. I didn't sign that release paper. You're definitely the document they but trust me, they were on the it's about to be out out until you are definitely they got a week to fix it. Hey know what it is, definitely doc all right, but front page news you ready, Yes, I'm ready? I sound okay, yep, okay. We are gonna be talking about what's going on at the Miami Heat Games.
They are gonna allow people to tend the games, but we'll tell you how they're gonna make it safer. All right, let's getting some front page news now. In sports, Tampa Bay beat the Packers thirty one twenty six and the Chiefs beat the Bills thirty eight twenty four to be a very entertaining super Bowl. I mean, it's like if Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant ever got to play in the NBA finals. That's what it feels like with the
with the Tom Brady versus Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. So the game is February seventh at six thirty pm in Tampa Bay. The first time my home team is company playing the Super Bowl at home. I'm just happy it. I live through the Tom Brady air, you know what I'm saying. I'm not a Tom Brady fan by any means, but I respect respect the gotta respect greatness man forty three
years old, ten Super Bowl appearances, six rings. When you think about the degree of difficulty in football, yeah, he's arguably the greatest athlete of all time in any sport, in any sport, when you think about the degree of difficulty of football, yeah, he's He might be the go of all time in any sport now right now. Also, Connor McGregor, if you kid got knocked the foul over the weekend, I didn't see the fight. I just seen the memes of him laying there sleeping. Now what else
we got ye? At this point, I don't even rememberhen Connor mcgreggor was good. I don't be honest, I don't even remember when was Conna mcgreggor ever good. I don't remember. I don't know. I just always see him loose in more recent times. And then we also have to shout out Na Dennis. She's a viral sensation and once again she has amazed people for UCLA gymnastics. So if you haven't had a chance to see her floor with team,
make sure you check that out also. All right, now, the Miami Heat is going to be using coronavirus sniffing dogs in order to screen fans and games. So what they're saying is that these highly trained dogs have been in place for some games this season where they allow a handful of guests, mostly friends and family of players and staff, and they are planning to let the games have ten percent of the building's typical capacity, so the
attendance will be under two thousand for now. Therefore, seating will be very limited. But they said these dogs have like a ninety four percentage of being right when it comes to coronavirus detection. And if you do have an allergy to dogs and you can't do that, then they'll actually be able to give you the rapid test, which is less than forty five minutes. And that's embarrassing. Could you imagine up to the game they're that's embarrassing. I
mean coronavirus sniffing dogs. I just love to hear more, like how does that work? And what if they sniff the wrong virus? Well, what if you smoke in weed right before and you smell like weed? Can they smell through the weed? Yeah? Are they both? Can they do? Are they cannine dogs that can detect anarcotics? Are just viruses? I've heard of this before, though I forget for what ailment it was, But I've definitely heard of dogs who
can smell some type of sickness or disease. I forgot what disease it was, all right, Yeah, they can even detect cancer. Cancer, that's what it was. It is probably what you're thinking, all right now, Brianna Taylor. The grand jurors in that case have filed an impeachment petition against Kentucky a journey Attorney General Daniel Cameron, So they want him to be impeached over allegations that he mishandled the case,
which I think that's pretty clear. According to a statement from their attorney, the grand jurists did not choose this battle. This battle chose them. These are randomly selected citizens who are compelled to sit on a grand jury and were terribly misused by the most powerful law enforcement official in Kentucky. I mean, I'm all for it. I mean, you know, it's been proven that they omitted evidence from the Brionna taylorcase. They didn't even present the Brionna taylorcases as a murder, right,
So yeah, I'm all for yeah. The multiple grand jurists said they were not given the opportunity to deliberate on additional charges outside of wanton endangerment, which is the only thing that one person was actually charged with. So there you have it. He should go to jail too, Daniel Cameron, because he had a response. Yeah, he has a responsibility. And the fact that you hit information misrepresented information, that
should be a crime. All right, Well that is your front page news, all right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent hit us up right now. Maybe you had a great weekend, or maybe a weekend was bummed out and you want to just get some things off your chest, whatever it may be. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

Super spreader at parties in Atlanta sounds wild, spreading them cheats at them parties in Atlanta. I followed
the proper protocol, sir. Hello, who's this Hi? This is ro Hey, good morning guys. I just calling to provide a little comfort for the angela Yee situation from earlier in regards to COVID. Okay, so, my four year old daughter woke up Christmas morning with a severe sword through. I rushed her to the emergency room. They checked her
her strap and came out negative. They checked her from COVID, and although I requested a rapid test, they weren't allowed to do it because she wasn't being admitted, so she didn't get her test back control Tuesday, However, she came back pocketive I had family from Maryland down here in Georgia. It was about ten of us. Everybody has went home before ec Maryland, everywhere. We all got tested. All of us were negative. She was the only one that tested posative. Well,
hopefully she's okay everything. Yeah, she's fine now, Yeah, she's perfectly fine. She literally I did. That's that's good to hear. I did test the negative twice already, so I felt comfortable. Yes, And I took her back and she had set the negative. So it just makes me feel like they don't have enough information about that. She slept in the bed with us, she wrote, in the car with my parents for twelve hours back to Maryland. Everything, all of us. Yeah, I
mean yeah, you affects your body. I think everybody's different. I know my daughter when school first started, I think like four months ago, three months ago, her roommate had COVID and she got tested three times and my daughter didn't receive it. But this was, you know, close quarters with it with this young lady. And my daughter didn't
get it, but you know the young girl did. So I mean, you just never know how it affects the body, you know exactly, And then it makes me feel like the vaccine it cannot be ready because we still don't know how it's being had or why only it out. Well, that's why, that's that's that's why, even though, like you said, you know, we may not have all the information, but the information we do have, which is quarantine. You know what I'm saying, you gotta follow. We got around people
and with no masks on. We just gotta be extra careful because we don't know. Yeah, and you know, I said out of her out of date there because that's the only place she's been alone without any of us. And all you can do is do your best, man like, do your best to uh try to avoid it. Yeah, okay, well, I just want to provide a little comfort on that. I'm glad you and I'm glad your daughter is okay and your family's okay. Yes, thank you, I appreciate alrighty mama,
get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one o five one. If you need to vent, you can hit this uping now now we got rooms on the way. I Spenderella had some comments about this some pepper baio pick that was out over the weekend, which I'm sure a lot of people watched on Lifetime. So we'll discuss what she has to say in response to not being included. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's
about Angela Ye, the Breakfast Club. Well, Spenderella was not too happy about this Salt and Pepper biopic that was on Lifetime over the weekend. She didn't have anything to do with it. Now, when we had Salt and Pepper on the Breakfast Club, here is what Salt had to say about their ongoing disputes. It's always been a lot of attempts to compromise, to satisfy on everybody's part, and it just never got to a place where it was what she thought it should be. And so sometimes things
come to a head. It's unfortunate, but internally, sometimes things get to a point where you have the part ways. We wish Spenderella with best. We're open to whatever can happen in the future. I've reached out to her. I haven't gotten anything back, you know, but I still my heart is open. Well, Spenderella took to social media and said, sorry, sorry, but I got to speak on this Lifetime special. Too often black women who have made meaningful contributions in their
industry are left out of historical narratives. Back Salton Pepper was building our legacy, which is rooted empowering women. I could not have dreamed that this same group would one day disempower me where it's cannot fully express my disappointment when I learned a decision was made to move forward with a lifetime biopic that wrongfully excluded me from every aspect of development and production, all the while using my
image throughout. Given that I played an integral role in the group story and success, there's nothing more unacceptable than a woman being silenced by another woman. I do, however, want to offer a huge congrats to the talented actresses that represented us, including Monique Paul, who I wish I would have been given an opportunity to share my true perspective with. In reflection, I'm grateful I've managed to uphold a thirty year career, and she did say that she
does have a book on the way. She said, thirty plus years is a lot of content and I'm ready to share. Yeah. I mean that sucks because Finderella was a very important piece to that group, so she should have had her input involved in the film. They didn't make her look bad in the film, but they didn't give her any They didn't give her any real looks period.
Like it was even that one part of the movie where they was on the bus and Salt and Pepper and were talking and they said something like Salton Pepper and Drella was like an spin you know, Yeah, I wish you'd got a chance to, you know, to share her side, and the actress got a chance to talk to her, to to you know, to give her feelings. But I mean, we don't know the behind the scenes what happened though. Yeah, but you gotta give her that love.
If you're Salt and Pepper, fresh Fresh Prince, if he's talking about anything fresh Prince related, has to have Jazzy Jeff, you know, run DMC would have to have JMG if Jay was still here. Um, and so Salt and Pepper needs Bendarella. But it's interesting because Herbie love Bug also didn't have anything to do with developing this, because they were saying, this is really more about Salt and Pepper and their friendship with each other and having that group.
But I think it would have made it better if the people involved could have had their say, But I guess the story is about their friendship because they were best friends before they formed the group, so and there's so much history between them. That's a lot to go through. But yeah, Herbie love Buck, who was very integral in forming Salt and Pepper, he also didn't have a say. Yeah, I mean the story about Salt and Pepper, so that that was the reason why. I'm sure. All right, Now
let's talk about Eminem. He premarried his hire video on Saturday. Now, a clip had been circulating of him talking about UFC president and Dana White before the UFC fight happened on Saturday. This was that clip. I'm a huge Eminem fan, but this is a tough one. It's a tricky demon to conquer, even for someone as badasses Eminem. My prediction is disappointment for fans all over the world. Eminem, what's your response
to what Dana just said. I think that people like you give people like me the fuel that they need to succeed in the first place. So I think that the best part about your opinion is that it doesn't matter. And if every fighter that you had listened to your opinion when you doubted them, you wouldn't have a league. So you're now and I'm out what they're talking about
though they well, they weren't really. This was actually a preview for a music video for hire and that's then dropped on Saturday on YouTube during that fight, so people thought this was a real clip of Eminem talking issue about Dan and White, but it was really part of this music video. Now, in addition to this fight that happened on Saturday, Connor McGregor got knocked out. That was in the second round, and Floyd Mayweather had some things
to say about that. Now, he was on social media and somebody said, why is Floyd Mayweather hated for the way he carries himself but Connor McGregor is loved for the same way he carries himself. Let's hear your thoughts, and Floyd responded, I've seen this post, and my take on it is that the world knows con artist mcloser can steal everything from me and be loved, but I'm hated. This just lets you know that racism still exists. Just know that bum will never be me or be on
my level. I'm just built different. My mindset is on another planet. My skills are second to none. I'm a natural born winner, and yes I tuk a lot of tracks, but every time I back it up, this is what they hate. It said that you could be a poor black kid from the ghetto that has dealt with racism your whole life and work extremely hard to put yourself in your family in a better position, and most of the hate comes to my own people. Yeah, I just
don't remember when Connor McGregor was good. I'm not a UFC watch it though, so you know, by the time I started tuning in the UFC, he was getting to ask do people like him little? I guess clearly he's still a draw. Right you watch UFC, don't you drumas? Yeah? Here and there he's a draw. He's clearly a draw. But is he a draw because people like him? Or do they want to see him lose and get beat up? No? I think people liked him. He stopped doing some of
the trash talk and stuff. It's like over the last couple of years he kind of fell off. I wouldn't talk trash either if I kept getting my ask is he is still planning to fight? Here's what he says. It's gracious, This sport is so much better with you in it. Are you telling us that we're going to see you in twenty twenty one in the next few months. Of course I need activity, guys, Come on, you just you don't get away with being inactive in this business. And that's the way it is. So it's a hopeful
in the swallow. I put in a lot of walk and playing with the me walk. You know. I'd like to represented him and that we'll get to go again him, that's his family. Got something to chill out. I don't care report. Knock yourself out literally right, all right? We got from a page news. Next we were talking about, Yes, somebody won over a billion dollars in the Mega millions Tobody one. Yes, man, you don't be paying attention to
the side. You'd be damn there about the wreck when you be driving and you see that thing then dropped down the twenty million. Let me check my goddamn ticket. Let's get in some front page news. Now sports over the weekend, the Buccaneers beat the Packers thirty one twenty six. The Chiefs beat the Bills thirty eight twenty four. Should be a very entertaining super Bowl, that's right. February seventh at six thirty pm in Tampa. So it should be excited.
Not what else she got you. Well, let's talk about that Mega million. Somebody did buy the winning ticket for the one point zero five billion dollars Mega Millions jackpot. It is the third largest lottery prize in history in the United States. And that person is in Michigan. So one person. One Yes, the winning ticket was purchased at a Kroger store and Novae and the Detroit suburbs, So shout out to Detroit. By the way, my store private
labels open. So whoever bought that ticket, feel free to come buy, buy some hair, whatever you need to buy. But um, yes, that ain't fairy power ball power ball. When the powerball is that big, ya gotta spread that well fought amongst a few people, man, you know, rick the goddamn machines. So the winning number comes up at least three or four times what one person gonna do. It might have been somebody's number he'd been playing all his life, or it could be quick pick what's the number?
What was the number? Yea, you know, why do matter your ticket? Yeah, you didn't win twenty six, forty two, fifty and sixty with the mega ball of twenty four. I had all those numbers. It's not in that order I did. I got the powerball twenty four, so that's four dollars. I had a four and one number twenty six and another number. Don't work late that, bro, No, don't work like that. Now. Let me ask you this.
If a you won, would you want to claim it right away because they're saying that the winning ticket might hold it, might hold on to the ticket for a little while, get their affairs in order, put together a financial plan, and then reach out. Or would you try to say I gotta get it right away because I felt like I got to do it right away. I don't want to lose the ticket. I don't want nothing
crazy to happen. I gotta claim it immediately. Now I got to talk to a financial levisor because this that persons, you know, I RS that is right there waiting. So I'm gonna just try to make sure I'll do it right, even if I got to put it in the LLC, so nobody knows it's me that won that ticket. Because you've become an instant target. Well number one, I'm sure all of us already half financial about right, I would hope so. And then number two, it depends on if
you can remain anonymous in that state or not. That's what it would turn it on for me. If i could remain anonymous in the state, I'm going to get it right away. If not, I would wait a little while. I might have to claim it first and then get everything in order right after, because I don't know. I feel like I'll be so nervous that somebody might get the ticket from me or find out or I might
lose it. Anything could happen. I'll be scared. Yeah, I would go collect that money right away, to be honest. Which it depends on the state. Yeah, that's whatever. Even when I have a gift card, I try to spend it right away because I'd be so nervous I'm gonna lose my gift card. I'm like, I gotta use this now, all right now. Five people, This is a really tragic story, including a pregnant women, were killed in a shooting in Indianapolis.
It's their largest mass casualty shooting in more than a decade. So this happened on Sunday. There was an early morning shooting on the northeast side, and the mayor is calling it a mass murder. They're not sure exactly what happened, but they did say it does feel like something targeted.
So they said there was some information that after they found a juvenile male with the parent gunshot wounds, then it led them to another residence less than a block away, where they found five people, including a pregnant woman dead with the parent gunshot wounds. Despite they said the best life saving efforts provided by medical staff, both the female and the unborn child did not survive. How tragic is
that the injuries. But they do not have any name suspects related to the shootings, but they believed that more than one shooter could have been involved also, So we do want to give our condolences to that is a really tragic situation. I don't even know what to say when situations like that happened anymore. What do you do? It feels like sending condolences isn't even strong enough, you
know what I mean? You can send send positive energy, love and healing energy to the families, but Lord have mercy, right, how do you slow that right now? To prevent stuff like that from happening? Who knows? Our president our new president, Joe Widen, has a very busy week of executive action. So what you need to know today is by American Day, he's expected to sign one executive order directing agencies to strengthen requirements for procuring goods and services from sources that
support US businesses and workers. Tomorrow, the focus is equity, and there's a list of executive orders that will create a Policing Commission and the reinstate Obama era policy on the transfer of military style equipment to local law enforcement. How you feel about that? I think that's great, But I mean he's got to go farther than that. I mean, listen, they got the Oval Office, they got the Senate. He's
doing executive orders after what we saw last summer. They campaigned on, you know, the racial injustice that was going on in our country. They campaigned on, you know, the fact that police, you know, killed the George Floyd and Brianna Taylors and not a Brianna Tayling. George Floyd of
the world. To listen, they have to really go far George. Yeah, the George Floyd Policing Act, where that's act all right, also tomorrow establishing steps to improve prison conditions and eliminate the use of private prisons, and also disavowed discrimination against the Asian American and Pacific Islander community, which comes particularly in light of rhetoric around COVID nineteen that pandemic. Wednesday is a climate crisis coming into view, and they're going
to be doing a memorandum on scientific integrity Thursday. Healthcare is the theme. Friday, they're centering on immigration. So that is it. And the impeachment trial date has been said that it's start to that is scheduled to start February ninth, and so that is still moving forward. I just felt like the low hanging fruit would be decriminalizing, you know, marijuana, which they should have just legalize it. And I also thought, you know that George Floyd policing and yach would I mean,
I know it's only been a few days. Would still I feel like all of that stuff, these things that they actually campaigned on, the other things that should get done first, I would think, Right, Yeah, so we should ask some questions about when is that being addressed. Oh, they're on the clock. Cabs are definitely on the clock. They're on the clock, front page news all right. Now, When we come back. Rest in peace to Larry King. He passed away over the weekend, and he was here twice. Right,
he was as twice. He came in twenty fifteen. That's before we were putting videos on YouTube. I feel like he came back after that as well. He didn't. He's only been at once. Be sure, Yeah, I don't remember him being here twice. I remember one interview. I might be wrong. I've done I've done his show twice. I did his show from my first book, Black Privilege, and I did this show for my second book, Shook one anxiety,
playing tricks on me. But I thought Larry King came here twice, But he definitely was here in twenty fifteen. All right, well, we're gonna get that interview back on, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club Morning. It's the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angeline Charlomagne, the guy. We all the Breakfast Club got a special guest in here from Brooklyn, New York. The Legend, the Legend, the man. He's got a rapper, he said, the man a rapper,
Larry King. Ladies and gentlemen, Hey, good morning to the Breakfast Club. Good morning. I don't. I don't see any breakfast. Everybody says that. Everybody says that, you know, it's a crazy Our producers, a chef. We've been here for almost five years. He's never brought no dishes in here ever. So this is a live club. The whole thing is based on lives. I have coffee, Yeah, we do have coffee and water. That's that's about. That's all you can hear. The inmates took over the asylum and radio win. I
come in here and there's eight radio stations here. Yeah, even w R, which used to carry my old show when I was on Mutual. How did that all happen? It's this thing called iHeartMedia. Oh I hear that was It used to be Clear Channel Channel. They just bought everything up. Yeah, I know that's out of San Antonio, right, yes, sir, Yeah, she I noticed. I remember that ran by a guy named Bob Pittman. I know Bob Pittman very well, the Big Boss, And they switched to iHeart, meaning like all
of you guys have Heart. I think it's like I loved I love radio, I love television. I feel like we're being interviewed. Yeah, yeah, that's how I got your thing though your an interview it. So it's hard. It's very hard. No, I understand it. I go with the flow, but I just, you know, it just hit me because I've been in radio television fifty eight years. It's not the original name, right. Well, No, my name was Ziger, and all I wanted, my whole lot, was to be
in Brookes. I just wanted to be in a radio when I was five years old. And then I get our jobs. I didn't go to college and I got out of high school. My father died when I was nine, so I got a bunch of our jobs here in New York. Grew up in Brooklyn. I went to Dodger games and worked for a night apostle service, Hearne department store. Young when when you were growing up in Brooklyn to Dodge just played this guy named Jackie Robinson in his
first game Wow. And I interviewed him twice really once in nineteen sixty and then once about three months before he died. How did you feel it his first game? Where you wanted those people that were against it, oh, get against it. We were all for it him Brooklyn. We loved him. But anyway, so I knocked around a
whole bunch of our jobs, and uh, somebody suggested. I got down to Miami and bad Idea knocked on doors and a small station there hired me and I got My first job was May first, nineteen fifty seven, and I was about to go on the air and the guy said, well, what name you're gonna use? And I said, well, my name is Larry Zager said, now that that won't go. Of course people won't know how to spell it, and little ethnic, little ethnic, right, So why not larry Z
Larry Z? That would be now Larry Larry to Z. But he had an ad open in the Miami Herald for King's Wholesale Liquors, and he said, why not Larry King? I said, if he's radio, could imagine anyways? Larry King? Okay, And so I sat in the studio and less l Guard Swinging down the Lane was my theme song. And I was so nervous, man, because never is my lifetime wish. I'm twenty two years old, and since five I wanted to be on a radio, and now he's my big chance.
Fifty dollars a week. I was on from nine to twelve, and I did sports and news. You did everything at a small station, and the music started a play, and I faded the record and nothing came out. And I brought the record back up and nothing came out. I was scared to death. And the general manager kicked open the door to the studio and he said, damn it. This is a communications business. Communicate So he shut the door and I did something then that I would do today.
I was just honest, and I turned the record down and I said, good morning. My name is Larry King. That's the first time I've ever said that. I've just been given that name, and this is my first day on the air, and I'm scared to death, and I wanted this all my life. I told the audience the truth, and you can never go wrong when you tell the truth. So for three hours that morning, if I miss you the record or I goofed up on a commercial, they're saying, it's his first day. So they were in my corner.
By taking them in my corner, I was never nervous again. Fifty eight years later, I've done comedy, I've done on stage, I've done stand up, I've done interviews, I've seen around the world. I've done radio, television, podcasts, FM news everything. I've never been nervous since that first day. Of course, I learned something that first day. There's no secret, no secret, just be yourself. Be yourself. If it works at work,
you can't make the audience. If the audience listening now didn't like the Breakfast Club, there's nothing you can do to make them like it. I agree, I totally agree with you. All you can do is be yourself. If it works, it works. It ain't brain surgery, not at all. I've been doing this a long time. I've interviewed people like Malcolm X, Malcolm X, Martin, Luther, King, Nelson, Mandela, Frank Sinatra, seven presidents, world leaders. I've done speaking tours
in South Africa and Moscow. And who was your favorite? Who's your favorite interview? Boy? I can't pick out one. Sinata maybe because he was hard to get and he didn't do interviews and that was like a big thrill. But I never had a favorite. I was so many, you know I've done. I've done sixty thousand interviews. Wow. So I'm just happy to learn things. Malcolm X was one of my favorites. Mandela was just a great guy.
When I was in South Africa. I went to his house and he was suspenders in my honor, So I always I have suspenders are now, but I'm freezing at death. So I'm wearing what's going on here? It's freezing but in the city, not in here. Why are you wrapped up? I'm always I read that you want to freeze your body when you when you die. I just taped doctor doctors today and he showed me what happens when they do that, and it makes a lot of sense to me.
For I don't believe that I'm going anywhere. I'm not religious, so I believe that when you die, you die, and that's it. So I'm so curious and I like living, and so I want one little chance. So if I'm frozen and then they find a cure for whatever I die of, is that is that better than laying in the ground or being burnt while you're dead? Those two ways you can't get out. My wife says to me, though, Yeah, but what if you wake up two hundred years later
you don't know anybody. I said, I'll make new friends. Yeah, I think you'll be fine. That's what I like. So it's the one way grab at eternity to live because I don't want to. I don't want to not exist. I think it's the biggest fair people have. I think they may say they don't you know. I know, I'm going somewhere. You don't know. You are an eightieth? Are you just don't believe in religion organized religion? I'm probably an atheist. I respect religion. I've interviewed every great religious
leader except the Pope. I don't buy it. I don't, I don't. I think the only reason for religion is death. If you didn't die, there'd be no religion. What turns you away from it? Probably not getting answers to questions. The simple answer you get all the time is when you ask why does the baby die? Why is there a holocaust? I think God gave human beings free will. Yeah, well you didn't get free will for Katrina. So I so I asked those questions, why did God allow Katrina?
And people got swept up and died? And they always the typical answer is we do not question the ways of the Lord. Well, I do question the ways of the Lord, especially an interviewer like you. And if I don't get answers, if I don't get answers, you don't believe I question. Someone asked, well, what if you could interview God, we will be the first question. Do you have a son? He would say no, right, chaos throughout the Christian Now you mentioned your wife. How many you
were married? Seven? Eight times? Seven? Wow? Twice, one twice? Why not go for eight? He's married. I'm married eighteen years now. I've got my wife's bunch younger. We have two young boys. In fact, people see me on my wife. You know, I'm eighty one and people see us, and I know what they're thinking. He's uh fifty five, so that's twenty six years, so I know what they're thinking. They look at me, they look at her. So I always say the same thing. I know what I would think.
I think, like, wow, Larry's penis is still getting hot. No what I say? What I say? If she dies, she dies, you get another girl. That's easy to say when you've had eight wives. I don't regret. I don't regret. I have three grown children. I've had a hell of a life, man. I mean, I from the little five year old kid in Brooklyn who wanted to be on a radio, to be seen all over the world, to get a Lifetime Achievement from the Emmy's Peabody Peabody Award. You know I can't, so I really I pinched myself
every day. Consider a lot of it lucky. I mean, you have to be good. I know I'm good at what I do, but there's luck involved too. When did you realize you were a good interviewer? When I When I started, I was doing a show at at a restaurant in Miami Beach. I was twenty three, and Bobby Darren, Great Bobby Darren, walked in, and then Jimmy Hoffa came in and I didn't prepare for him because I didn't know they were coming right. And I got to love that. I got to love asking questions. But I could if
I look back long enough. I was asking questions when I was nine years old. You know, I get on a bus and why do you want to drive a bus? I'd say to the bus driver? What do you get out of driving a bus? So I naturally went into it as we started here today, I started by asking what is it so many radios? Absolutely? What do you do? Why do you play youself? The breakfast cup? There's no breakfast Those are things that are constantly on my mind. And what made me good at what I did was
I asked simple questions. It's one word too, one sentence questions. Why is a great question. When I was a kid, when I first got to Miami, I got at eleven dollars in my pocket. I stayed with my uncle. The first thing I saw was two water fountains, and one said white and one said colored. And I drank out of the colored white the fountain. It was very good. By its cold. You thought it was gonna be cool, so I saw it. I started saying, why are there too?
Then I got a bun a bus to go from Miami over to Miami Beach, and I sat in the back of the bus and the bus driver stopped the bus and said move forward. It was the back of the buses for colors and the front the buses for whites. And I said why. And I still have never got an answer to that question, because why should pigment mean anything? Right? So I never got an answer. You asked me that when I was on your show Lacking. Now You're like, why do people hate on other people for the color
of their skin. I'm like, I really don't know. I don't know, so I all prejudice. I don't know why I'm heterosexual. For example, I like women, but I don't know why I like women. I didn't choose it. Now, I didn't get up one day at age eleven and say, you know, I think I like women. So why would someone get up one day and say I think I like men? Right, you don't know why. It's probably a gene. It's probably something. No one knows why they are what they are, So why be against it? Why you know?
Why be against it if you don't know why. I also, as ross Perot told me, the South was economically stupid. I mean, they build a building and they'd have to build two bathrooms for men instead of one. But idiotic they would if they didn't educate they're black citizens, how could they expect them to thrive economically. So that's why your lowest economic states out of Mississippis and Alabama's because they didn't bring so you lose. Segregation is idiotic financially.
Forget Marley, it's idiotic. Financially, it's idiotic. That absolutely right. You actually marched. You marched in Miami. Did the beaches could be Yeah? Yeah, we integrated the beaches and I integrated so black people could be on the beach, but black people couldn't be on the beach. Do you know how bad it would? I mean, in our lifetime. In nineteen sixty three, if Sammy Davis swam in a pool in Las Vegas where he was entertaining, they emptied the
pool and refilled it. Wow, Sammy Davis had loved at the time, they emptied the pool. That's crazy, could you? I mean, it's hard to believe that Harry Belafonte integrated the Hilton Hotel Miami Beach in nineteen sixty five. The black entertainers would play on Miami Beach and then they would be put in a very nice hotel in the black area in Miami. And Harry Belafoni, who I loved to this day. I was there when he was checking in.
He's going to open that night, and they set up to the Belfoni very to have you and your hotel is across the bay on the other side, and he said why, said, well, let's that's where our our Negro entertainers stay. And he says, where I play is where I stay. And they checked him in and then he said, and my troop also has to stay where we play. And he had twelve black singers behind him and they integrated that hotel. How long get it take you out to get the beaches integrated after the march? Oh? He
had that quickly. Once you start a movement, you can't stop a movement. Once I knew Martin Luther King very well, he was so spot on. Once you start to show people when I could put you on television and show a black man, I Meily walking across a bridge and they hit him over the head. The average guy looking at that and the children why, there is no answer. It's just stupid. So the more you see that, and then now you have gay marriage, because people start to
say it aint my business? What, what do you care? What do I care? Everybody should everybody should be allowed to get married and be miserable opinion on something that's happening now with Brian Williams. I feel so sorry about that. I like Brian and I don't know what it is. Why why people do things for self aggrandizement? You know, did Brian Williams have to say he was in a helicopter? No, you don't have to be in the action. I don't turn on the I don't know, I don't I don't
know what that means. That's what I'd be hard for him to come back. Nobody's perfect and everybody has done things. Everybody has something in the closet that you there's something about you that you wouldn't want them. I think I know. Oh, mom, mister King, tell us just tell us. No, we actually go way back. Let's not. Oh, but you can do that on radio question now the whole audience is thinking, like, what, yeah, nice seeing you again with that? You know, No, wh
why are you getting nervous? Don't tell anybody? This is just you know, this is she had a little nervous laugh. You will always that way, Harry King. I have to ask you about social media and how it affects everything today, being that obviously you've had so much experience. No, I'm on the internet now every day on Hulu. You be tweeting, you tweet, you know, I tweet. I got two million, eight hundred thousand followers. Girls hit you up on dms and stuff like that. Ever been in the chicks M?
What's your d direct message? That message? No, I dictate my tweets. I don't type them out. I don't text I, in fact, is my phone. I have a flip phone. It flips. Come on, now you work one hun Nobody send this guy a phone. I like it. You can't even send a penis pick on that it's a phone. I can put it against my ear too. I find that people with iPhones, my children and others, it controls them. I agree. I was a smoker. I wound up having a heart attack, and when I look back, the cigarette
controlled me. And I look at people with iPhones. I go to dinner with some guys with and I deal with me. I don't I like to communicate verbally, maybe because that's the way I was raised them for doing it on my life. Text is a cop out to me. I can see you're in an emergency situation, but well, why white text when you can call? Absolutely? Do you have any any guests that don't like you? Because I
guess about how you pissed off Seinfeld one time? Well because he said he didn't mean it, But I've gotten I'm friendly with Jerry. In fact, he says that I started Twitter with my old column in USA today. But Jerry was on the show and I asked him, why did Seinfeld go off the air. What you said. You said his show canceled. I didn't say show canceled. Oh well, guys who wear jeans like that makeup? Uh uh No, I said, was your show cancel? I didn't know that.
He just and he said we were number one, and he got a little tiffed. So he says, you know, he took offense to it, and then he later said he was kidding. But I don't think he was kidding. But I love Seinfeld, I don't. I watched probably more Sheinfeld than any other show because Larry David, who conceived it, is a genius. Y'all cold be related in some way, you and Larry David, because we're both named Larry and you wear glasses. This is a demeanor about y'all look
like y'all could be related. You're from the same tribe as we say. Wait a minute, Oh, I take that. It's a little bit of a putdown. I'll tell you why two guys, James Larry both were glasses. Same tribe. Are you discussing perhaps the Hebrew faith? Oh, it's a little What did you mean by tribe? Oh? And tribe? It's like when you look like somebody they say you're from the same tribe. That's like for me, like Tyrese would be my tribe. Young Jeez. Do you know these people?
They're all black with ball heads and like my heart. So I say so. So it's a compliment in a sense, yeah, the person. I mean, if you think David handsome, it's a compliment. Well, I don't take it as a compliment. Charlaine and the teenage mutant Ninja Turtles are from the same tribe. Exactly me, Me, me, young Jeez or named Neo and Jada kiss where the teenage mutant nick the world that's so hip? See to me hip Frank Sinatra. Now, I heard a lot of the young things said. I
got nothing against them. My kids listened to a drive in a car and my kids listen to music. I don't know one word they're saying. I don't know who young thug is. When you get home, that's your kids. See who's young thuck. I interviewed a lot of them. You have an interview junked ug, yet, please shared, don't make that happen. Well, rappers seemed to like you, Ja. Everybody seems to like you. I don't know why these hip hop people come on these rappers, Hey, we love you, Larry.
Why I'm not speaking their language, but I interview I forget their names. They go so fast. Do you remember the Chris Brown interviewed that was big in our world? Oh boy, remember that when we had the bow tie on. Ye he wouldn't give any real answers. It was, oh see turn the lights on. Now in our world when the lights go out like that somebody, Now, Chris wouldn't give you real answers the lights were I thought that'd be one less person. Here am I in the hood?
Now you're in the hood. Now, Now I feel so hip? Yea. It was his first interview after the whole realt of thing, and they put up pictures of her and he was on with his mother, and I felt kind of sorry for him. Yet I'm told, because I'm not an expert in that area music, that he's a brilliant artist. He's very good. He's good, he's a great artist. He's good, one of the best. Can dance his ass off. Now you're still very active. You work a lot. Do you
like work? Do you ever see yourself like retired, retiring? I don't know what I do. I really don't retire to what I wouldn't know what I would do. I thought I could retire, but I couldn't. I I don't send people who don't go to work. Why did you leave seeing that? Did you just get tired of everything? And I always just had three four year contracts And the last time it came to me it was a one year contract. And I sort of writing on the wall. And I guess they just wanted to go another direction.
That was a terrible direction. That guy is too well for them. Here's Mary. I didn't like his style. You know, I guess they you know, I don't know what now they have a different thing on every night at nine. You know, I always wondered because you said you want to be frozen, and you made the joke about your two hundred years later, if you woke up, you'd make
new friends. And like my grandmother was like the oldest of all her brothers and sisters, and she outlived like her mom and her father everybody all you know, her brothers, sisters, everybody. So how does it feel to like outlive people you've interviewed and things like it's weird? Yeah, And the Assantra said to me once the toughest part of aging is your friends die. So five and a little lucky. My best friend's wife died, but I have six friends, all of whom around my age is still living and we
grew up together. But I think about dying. I worry about it because he can't do anything about it, everything about it. But then you also appreciate with a great life you've had. Yeah, I know, but that doesn't work, doesn't Why do you want to be remembered because you've you've you've been on air when so many great people have died and you see how the world stops in the memorials. I think I want to be remembered as
someone who informed. I made the world a little bit better by learning a lot a lot of things about a lot of people, and I made people laugh, and I communicate it well. And I know that when you communicate on a daily basis, like people listening to the show. If you guys are on for a long time, long as the show being on, let's see you go on, You're on ten years. There are people out there and you have no idea of the magnitude that you're in
their lives. They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that breakfast club, and you become part of their lives and all you're doing is just being you. But you're attached to these people and it's a great feeling that they have that feeling for you. That's why people get so sad when well known people die. Through their gift, they've entertained you. So I'd like to say that I entertained people and I informed, Hey, it's just a funeral. What are we doing. I'm sorry to get depressed.
They might use it later. No, it's not a funeral. You got a weird sense of human We appreciate you join us. Some people find him offensive. Don't bring us up again. It was one night. Why do you keep from tattoos? You still? You still get it in sexually though? Right, Well, you need help. I had I had prostate cancer, so I had had a radiation. But you know something, you're going on living. That's kind of a personal question me when you're asking why, and I'm looking forward to be question.
I told you this last time I saw you. I want my brain and my penis to work when I get eighty something. And by the way, they are connected. Yes, but ladies and gentlemen you guys on the breakfast There you have it as Larry King is the breakfast clubmany morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlemagne the guy we are to breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk versus the team. This is the rumor report with
Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Keishak revealed the reason why she was late to Versus and she did apologize for being late. Here's what she had to say. No, it was it was a lot of people. They said it was the highest rated verses or whatever, which I really do appreciate. Well, I was like nervous about that
to say the least. But more so than anything, I want to apologize for not sitting my ass in that seat, Okay, because I was there and I should have sat down, no matter if I felt like the visual wasn't clear, or you know, they said my music wasn't going to be right or whatever it was. You know what I'm saying. I think that more solely anything, people wanted me to be present. Uh. First of all, I thoroughly enjoyed the jeez.
I mean what I say, Ashanti Versus great, but they weren't hiring Gucci and Jeezy or Brandy and Monica were they? So I know Brandy and Monica was the highest, and then Gucci and Jeezy broke down. Shanti and Keshiko was hiding that. I know they were high. I don't think they'd beat Geezy and Gucci, honestly. I saw them at about one point one million when I was on there,
so I'm not sure. But I also saw in the shade room that Keshiako tested positive for COVID as well before the verses went down, really and had all those people in there because I've seen old but no, I think it was it was like nine days beforehand, Okay, nine days before yeah, something like that. So that was also something that happened. So we know there were a lot of delays, but they finally had to get it
going all right now. Also during that versus, we saw that twenty one Savage was enjoying himself greatly, listening to some music. And here is what twenty one Savage sounded like watching the battle about how you do that? Understand? I worry that night twenty one just be living his life. Man, drop on a clothes bun for twenty one saveurday, then just be out and enjoyment. It looks like he could be working and collaborating with Missy Elliott sometime in the
near future. A fan asked Missy what she want to work and she said most of death. So I think that'd be a nice collaboration to happen. Swiss Swiss Beats is talking about some other battles he wants to see go down on versus. He was on ESPN Dailien into Kobe and he discussed who he thinks would be a great battle. I want to try to figure out how to do pock and bigging and the way that the people was on. Really, I got you on that. I got the idea. I'm gonna call you later even that
we gotta go Princeton, Michael Jackson, don't you. I got a couple of ideas. I've just been working. I'm a text. Do you want that? I think that Dalen Roads did that very excited noise in the background. I think that I think that would be cool. I mean, because I don't know how you would do it, because you would probably have to get bigg DJ right, so that have to be missed to see or DJ enough. But I don't. I don't didn't necessarily have a DJ. I don't think
of a Biggian parc versus. Just seems strange being that they both got taken out, you know what I mean, Like, you know, how do you how do you make that a true celebration their music lives on though, you know, because I would Swiss and Timberland. I think there is a way that they could preserve their respective legacies but also celebrate their catalogs in a non confrontational way. Yeah, I think Switz and Tim could absolutely pull it off.
I think about social media though, like, do I really want to see people going back and forth about Big I in POC? I know, But the way that they went out, I just think it would be really, really, really strange because it's given flowers though, and they both have catalogs. I think that would be great twenty joints. I think that would be I think that'd be made. I'll be dere I not just do bad Boy death row. That's you know, like some then you can have like Diddy and dre go at it. That'd be more of
a celebration, I would think. I think they've been trying that. I think that would be great too, even though Dre is not next not necessarily death roll, but you know I started to built that. Yeah, all right, well that is your rumor report. I'm ansually all right, thank you, miss ye Charlom. We're giving that donkey too. You know, I want to talk about this for after the hour because I'm a little torn on this. So I mean, I'm giving periods Morgan donkey's a day, right, But then
I also have to ask the question is he wrong? Okay, you know what I mean. Timing was poor, but was he wrong for what he said? We'll talk about it for after the hour, all right, We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's don't be a dusky because right now you want some real It's time for Donkey of the day. So if we ever feel I need to be a donkey man with the heat did she get do? Please tell me I had become Donkey of the day the breakfast Club, bitches, Yes, talk
you today from Monday. Talk here today from Monday, January twenty fifth. Goals to Piers Morgan. Okay, listen, I'm really confused about this one because I'm such a fan of honesty, even if I don't agree with what you're being honest about, I love when humans keep that same energy. Okay, See, we all have these protocols, all these ways we are taught we are supposed to act when certain things happen.
But what if that's not how I really feel. My therapist tells me to feel my feels, whatever emotions I'm feeling at the time, allow yourself to feel them. But I don't think those feelings are meant for someone else to feel, especially if how you feel may cause someone
else pain. Well, Piers Morgan didn't think about that this weekend because I'm sure this weekend the family of Larry King was grieving because, if you haven't heard, Larry King passed away this weekend at see the Sinai Medical Center after being diagnosed with COVID nineteen in late December. And now you know what happens when people pass away In
this era social media mourns. A lot of digital tributes happened via tweets, Instagram posts, etc. And Piers Morgan was one of those people who decided to do a tweet. Now once again, I'm talking about this tweet because it doesn't feel right because of the timing, but the honesty
of it I have to respect. Paras tweeted out a picture of him and Larry King, but to caption Larry King was a hero of mine until we fell out after he placed to match CNN, and he said my show was like watching your mother in law go over a cliff in your New Bentley. Then in parentheses, Piers Morgan put he meaning Larry King married eight times, so a mother in law expert. But he was a brilliant broadcaster and masterful TV interview. Now here's the thing. Do I think it was in poor taste? Yes? Do I
think the timing of it was off? Yes? Even if I felt that way about a person, would I share it? Not right after they died? Okay? Maybe later, some years later, when I'm telling my story in a book a documentary and that part of my life comes up. I made tell that story, But to tweet it right after a person dies it is extremely tone deaf, like read the room, Piers, Okay, folks the morning grieving, think about the family, friends and
folks who loved Larry. All of that would have been going through my mind as I fixed my thumbs to make that tweet. Okay, folks who loved Larry already dealing with hurt because of the death of Larry King. Now they got someone to aim a heart at it. Pears, I can't act like you didn't earn it if they give you some raf okay, because you had to know that tweeting that what's gonna cause him backlash. Now here's where I'm torn. I don't necessarily know if what he
said was wrong. Okay, that's how he feels. That's the story he's been telling for the longest. The story isn't going to change now that the Great Larry King is dead. But where I think he's wrong at poor timing. Like, bro, Larry King just died. How did Larry King just die? And you find a way, okay, anyway to make his death about you? Okay, Like Pierce, you really made this about yourself. You started off great. Larry King was a hero of mine, even ended it great. He was a
brilliant broadcaster and masterful TV interviewer. Those are two amazing pieces of wonder bread right there. I mean they are soft, no mold on them. But it didn't put the right ingredients in between those two pieces of wonderbread. Okay, it's all types of feelings. You could have chosen turkey and cheese, peanut butter and jelly, a simple grilled cheese, my personal favorite tuna fish. You could have put spaghetti in there, but instead you chose to put in between those two
great slices of wonderbread. The worst feelings you could find mayonnaise, tomatoes and mustard. Who wants the mayonnaise tomato and mustard sandwich? Ric and prawns? Who wants the rising prawn sandwich? You could have talked about the impact he had on you as a broadcast TV personality. Talk about the fact if it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have you wouldn't even have had that gig at CNN because you replaced Larry on a show that he built. Those would have been
good feelings. Okay, I don't know. Yeah, I can't tell you what to say. Okay, I can't tell you what to do because I'm not you. But Larry King did tell me once that the most important question to ask in a conversation was why. That's what I would like to know. Why we have to not only ask that question of others, but to ourselves, a simple why. We usually keep you from doing digital d head stuff like this. If you would have simply asked yourself, why am I
tweeting this? Why am I tweeting this right now? Why do I need to make this statement at this moment? If you would have took Larry King's advice and simply ask yourself why I wouldn't be telling dramas right now? To let remy ma give Piers Morgan the biggest he ha he ha he ha, you stupid mother? Are you dumb? Now? Here's what I'm torn though. Should you keep the same energy when someone dies? Ask me. I'm gonna get to
you in a minute. Okay, If that's how you felt all of this time, and you've told that story before when they passed, do you not tell that story any anymore? Or do you keep that same energy when someone dies? Dj vy, I'm gonna start with you. Keep that samement a matter of fact? No, Angelie, let me start with you. Okay, he's too eager. Do you keep that samemenagy when someone dies? Angelie? I think if somebody asked you a question, you can
answer the question. But I would not go on and post and make somebody else's death about me and how I felt about them when they were alive. I would pass on that as simple rest in peace. You could say something like we had our differences, but still an icon or something like that. But I do think it's tacky. There's people who are family members who are still alive
that don't need to see that hurt. You try to act like you respected him and he was an icon, but then you went ahead and threw that extra sauce on it. That's when you make somebody's death about you, And I cannot stand when people do that. True indeed, envy, let's get to you now. You keep that same energy when someone does. No, I keep the same energy absolutely positively. Let me let me explain it and break it down. Right, what's the What's the one thing that you say for
every action is what reaction? Right? So if you issue me before and there's a problem before, you go at me somehow some way go up my family or whatever it may be. Maybe you just said some slick ish yes, I'm gonna say some slick ish back because I've been saying it when you was alive. I'm gonna say it when you was dead. That doesn't stop you from being an icon. It's still a Nicond, You're still a legend.
But I think you did some sucker issue. I'm just gonna tell you about it because I tell you about it when you was here, So I'm gonna tell you about it when you die. That's that's that's how I am. I have the feeling that you're waiting on some people to die in me so you can do a mix many minute. And now are you telling them about it? They're not gonna hear it. You don't know. You don't know if they're gonna tell you. You don't know if they let me ask you one other question, Charlemagne, Yes,
a long time ago, shout the Fendy. If you don't know who Fendy is. Road manager. Jady Kisses road manager. He is a legend. He might be their manager. I'm not sure. Now. He posted up something on his Instagram about a year ago. He went, that's longer than a year ago, but he um, yeah, he went to one of his hated funerals and he posted from in front of the church and he said, I went to one of my biggest hates funerals just to make sure he was dead. Die haters die, goddamn right. That's how I am.
So let's let's let's let's open up the phone's play Breakfast the court, right fast, let's do there. We got five one. Let's take Pears Morgan the court. Now people are mad at him for going at Larry King. Larry King. Now I'm not Now, I have no problem with Larry King. But there's a lot of people out there that I do have a problem with, not to say some slickish, but with a little fervent. And if they die, they die.
I'm I'm supposed to write something now I used because you die after you issued on me all this time. So let's open up the phone lines and ask you eight hundred five eight five one o five one. Let's say somebody's issuing on you, somebody's issuing on your family, somebody's hating on you. They die, you're supposed to be all, oh they've done, oh my gosh, or you like take this over you if your story has always been after
that person, YadA, YadA, YadA. You know, I would expect you to keep the same energy, or you could just keep the cute. You can keep it quiet. Word up. That's what I mean. In Pears Morgan case, he didn't have to say, keep it cute for what he didn't keep it cute. She didn't keep it cute. She hated on you. They hate it, And it also depends how the person died too. Bo. If it's tragic, it's like, ah, that's what they get. That's you hate you hate it. It is what it is. You get it when you're
lied to get it when you're dead. Let's open lift the phone line to talk about it. I'm sorry, I'm a verg on petty eight D five eight five one o five one. Let's talk about it. The Breakfast Club Morning, everybody is DJ Envy angela Ye. Charlomagne the guy we all the Breakfast Club good morning now if you just joined us, Charlomagne gave Donkey of the Day to Pierce Morgan. Why because Pierce Morgan tweeted Larry King was a hero
of mine until we fell out. After I replaced him at CNN, he said my show was like watching your mother in law go over a cliff in your New Bentley. In parentheses, he put he married eight times, so a mother in law expert. But he was a brilliant broadcaster and masterful TV interviewer. Now I think The timing of this tweet was very poor, but I respect the fact that he kept the same energy. Now, I have a couple of people on this planet I absolutely don't give
a damn about. I don't wish death on anyone, but if they passed away to day, I would say God bless like I do everyone, and keep it moving. I don't think I would express publicly right after they die how much they might have been my hero at one point. That's a lie. No, I wouldn't rejoice. I wouldn't rejoice in him dying. I wouldn't say i'd rejoice. But I'm not saying pears rejoice. I'm just saying the timing was bad. The tweet after that, you could have kept it. Larry
King was a hero of mine. He was a brilliant broadcaster and masketbull TV interviewer. Everything else in between that was petty. Even though it's the truth, it was still petty. Okay, So let me ask you a question if Dudu Brown Calvin Hunter, something happened to him when husband, knowing all the things that he tried to do to ruin your career, stop you from eating. I'm feeding your family, paying your rent, and doing your career right allegedly, I'll say alleged, yes,
and something happened to him? Would you write a heart feel thank you for getting me myself? Say anything I keep all thet I keep that, I'd say, God bless people know I don't. I don't rap with that dude, But it's no you know, if somebody like if later on in life I was telling my story, I would still tell my story the same way I did. But I wouldn't, you know, tweet right after his death, Rest in peace, Kevin Hunter. I'm glad he know uh he did X, Y and Z to me. I wouldn't do that,
like it's point by and a biopic. He didn't seem like such a terrible guy, That's what I told lay see me. Seemed like a cool little tenements. It's a science fiction sody, so he didn't seem as awful as I thought. Goddamn it. Then I know that's a fictional story. Might keep that movie today, frien and so caring? All right, I was there, all right, me and Jordan Peple would have to make up the movie. I saw what Stephen King doing. All right, let's go to the phone made
for Colored girls. I need somebody that made an African American heart story. We made pressures. Let me tell my side of the windy Wims. Dog, I should I tick y'all give you something to watch? Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. We're asking would you keep that same energy? Hello? Who's this asking me? The singer from Moss Vegas? Y. I ain't know they sound like this in Vegas? Oh? Absolutely, mind. You know they're coming all different boys out Yeah, yeah, yeah, sir, yes, sir.
Now what are you doing? You're keeping the same energy or what? You know what I'm gonna say this. You know when they died, they had the same energy, you know. And I'm usually not the head of type. You know, I don't really hate, but I'm gonna have to say he died keeping the same energy. I'm gonna have to keep the same energy with him and down, you know what I mean? I would you change his legacy? They
don't change anything that he did. Know, I'm sure he made a huge back through the world, but you know he had a certain energy. I got a certain energy, you know, and I feel like, you know, gonna go ahead and let it meet what it was. Okay, Yeah, I mean whatever something, whatever somebody did to you, they did to you, like that story hasn't change just because they passed away. So that's the story you've always been telling,
which I'm sure Piers Morgan has I get it. I just think that the timement was poor Kim, good morning, good morning. How you doing this morning? I'm great? How are y'all great? Great? Blessed black and holly favor Kim. We're asking are you keeping the same energy or why? Yes, I'm definitely keeping the same energy. But that explain why I am a very nice person. I don't bother nobody. So if I have bad feelings towards you, it's because you stepped out of line, you did something. You don't
make it right. Okay, I'm with your kidful. You got to eat deffo. You got to eat there, so it did, that's right. Got to eat that cake. Huh, thank you? Kim? Yep? All right, man, does somebody die on you twenty thousand dollars or just any amount of money that you need and then they did, that's gonna be your story. And only twenty thousand dollars nerd to die, You're gonna be like, here're you coming in the funeral and me twenty dollars dollars.
Ain't got no time to be spending. No, no, no to be going in for you know what I'm saying. I wouldn't go to this. I ain't got the money to go. You on me, tway No, that's the story. Five eight five one oh five one. Do you keep the same energy with somebody dies? Or do you just let it go? Let's let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Cloud Go morning. Oh, my brother's got that guest Morning.
Everybody is stej Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club in Breakfast Club Court if you
just joined it. Charlomagne gave Piers Morgan donkey to day Wise that I gave Piers Morgan donkey the day because if you don't know, Larry King died this weekend and Piers Morgan decided to tweet out a picture of him and Larry King with the caption Larry King was a hero of mine until we fell out after I replaced him at CNN, and he said my show was like watching your mother in law go over a cliff in your New Bentley and in parentheses he put he married
eight times, so a mother in law expert, but he was a brilliant broadcaster and masterful TV interviewer. Um, if that's pierce story, that's the story he'd been telling all these years, I understand. I just think that right after somebody guys, that is very very poor timing to retell that story. Just like people to be alive, to see me be successful. I think that hurs more than that too. Somebody dying too. Yeah, I'm keeping the same energy. I mean, I didn't like you when you were here. I'm not
gonna like you when you when you're dead. I know my wife's right now talking my baby. You gotta change, no, no, no, no, no you. I had a problem with you. You treated me like I'm like the lady that just called a second ago. I don't bolve and nobody. I mind my business, I make my money, take care of my family. If you issue me or hate on me or my family, whatever happens happens. And I'm gonna tell you in your last tweet, And like I said, I might go to
your funeral just to make sure you really did. And you know, some people, some people say I'm too nice because I also feel like I'd be thinking about people's family members and how that's just not nice for other people who have nothing to do or anything and they're grieving. You had a time like that, But I'm alive and I wouldn't want anybody to do that to me and have my parents see something like that. That's just how I look at shouldn't do foul, that wasn't happening. But
you do think about that. You do think about the people you may be hurting with that tweet. But I will say this, if you post something like that after somebody passes, you kind of were happy they did. You know what I'm saying, You're kind of reveling in the fact that you know, I'm a common person. Hello, who's this? Kelly? Hey? Kelly, Hey, Kelly, Hi, how y'a doing good? What's your thought? That same energy
you're letting go, I'm letting it go. I feel like so like they already did, we already want like you gif you know, like where it go? I'm with you, all right, Mama? Hello, who's this? You know? What's up? Man? It's big from the book? Man? What's fos big? You said? From the bluff? From the bun Florida. Man, book, it's a little bit out of Jacksonville, Florida. Got you, all right, So we're asking, you know, would you keep that same energy? You're just gonna let it go. Come on, man, we're
rolling the boys up. Man, expect we're rolling the boys all right now. The dirt goodness crazy. Wow, he's from Florida. Guys, Guys, guys and guys listening. Keep in mind that extra step further there. We didn't even ask all that Florida, guys, not at all. Okay, it's Florida. Even I thought that that was a little too far. I mean, damn in Florida, they might pay for your funeral just to know where it's had to shoot it up? Hello, who's this ron? What's up? Bro? What you called it from? Falling from
South Carolina? What part? What part of the crack? I'm got him beautiful? Okay? Eight h three? All right right, I'm is that the Guichi town. No, that ain't Gichi. Oh my bad, that ain't Gichi. So well you keeping that same energy, bro? Yeah, I'm keeping that same And then the reason why I'm keeping that same and they number, but you understand what I'm saying, and I like to try and say under my haters as my friends. You
know what I'm saying. They don't need number to get me more what I need to get because they want what I gotta want to be who I am. So you lost one less fan when when they die, well, you know I still play most. That's the question, right, I'm I'm I feel you, I feel you. I'm more like I want you to. I want you to be alive, to see me shining. You know what I mean? That's cool too, But when you die, it is what it is. I'm supposed to feel remote. I'm supposed to feel happy.
I'm supposed to not let us know. No, no, I'm not telling you you gotta feel that way. But I'm just saying to go on social media and do all that and not thinking about that person's kids, their family. You can have what you have. You can be honest about how you felt when you do an interview, but a post and nobody even asked you. Yeah, yeah, put what they might have did a post when nobody asked him. He knew what, he didn't care how it affected me or my family. So now he's alive more his family.
I will also say too, though, you know, once you cross me, like when I really really don't rock with you, get dead to me. Anyway, what's the more the story? Yeah, that was it? Yeah, pretty much. But I do think P Morgan was being petty. I think the timing was the timing was bad, even though that is his story, The timing was all the way off, very poor timing. He made it about him, you know what I mean at a time like this, like come on, knock it off.
All right, Well we got rooms all the way. Yes, let's switch to some positivity and let's talk about MASTERP and what he has going on. He's going to be the first black man to do something, all right, we'll get into that next keeper locked as to Breakfast Club. Good morning, Breakfast Club. We know that you ride black people right right, crazy, everybody crazy, everybody, little thing morning. Everybody is stech envy and Chela yee Charlomagne the guy
we are to Breakfast Club real quick. I feel bad because this whole time we've been sitting here today and we didn't acknowledge someone who was very important to the Breakfast Club. We couldn't get a lot of things done without this person. We have to wish a big happy bond Day to miss Alicia Keys. Okay, without her her catalog, I found her catalog radio wouldn't have a lot of records to play over and over for years. So Happy born Day to Alicia Keys. Yeah, it's happy born Day.
We're gonna start the mix off with some eight keys too in the mix. So he got a request, you can definitely hit me up and let me know what a key song you want to hear. Some damn haters. I'm also gonna assume its DJ Dramos his birthday of the way that he giggled today. If DJ Dromos is born day, Happy born Day to DJ Dramas, drop bombs for Drapmos. Okay, Dramas, you got a song I could play? Yeah, some Drake. I'm gonna blow Drake's candle out for his birthday, so bad he does he look at guy got his
little cute gloves. Look at this love, Look at this freezing in here, bro fingerless gloves. Okay, let's get to the rum as. It's so masterpeak just oh gosh, report God's report the Breakfast Club. Now. Master Pea has gone to his Instagram and revealed that he is working with Richard Patterson, who is a former Tesla engineer, and he's going to develop the next era of supercars is called try On Supercars, and it will be the first black owned company of its kind, the first black owned supercar
manufacturer in the United States. Here he is with Romeo. This is a big deal for that culture. This is how we inspire us them seeing you create something like this, seeing a black man build a car, and not just any car, but one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Yeah, and you know what that does, showing you how we are involved. Okay, ten, this car is a ten hey man dropping a clue bombs from Masterpea. I respect. I respect that brother forever, the ultimate hustler.
He's a great human being and been an inspiration from entreprenegroes like myself for a long time. I think that car exists already. I think they already that exists and they are going to start, I guess manufacturing that car because I was looking at that a while ago. That that that brother that that created that caught a cause dope well solute Master and the brother that created the
car whatever. Respect. Yeah, it says he created a supercar is called the Nemesis r R. And then in addition to that, Try On Supercars is in the process of creating affordable luxury SUVs and cars for the masses, so you can go to try on Supercars, Doom people t R I O n oh, it was available for purchase now,
I think it's in development. And I was looking at him, and they have cars that they've been testing and driving, because I was looking at possibly purchasing when you know, I love cars, but I just didn't get all the details for it all right, Now, Trade Songs wasn't an altercation, and he got into an altercation with police at the Chiefs game. And according to fans, they're saying the cop was the person who was out of line. Now, according to a witness, they say the Trade Songs is being
heckled by some fans a few roads behind him. He asked them to chill out. Then the officer approached Trade Songs and when after him without any type of warning, Trade was caught off guard. Things got physical. Trey Songs did defend himself. He did have the officer in a headlock at one point after he was attacked, and they said he was in custody and arrested for trespassing, resisting arrest, both misdemeanors, and for assaulting a police officer, which is
a little greade felony, and they said he'll likely be released. Yeah, Trade Tree had him in that Og Virginia headlock. That's that's the headlock you learned from all the ogs around you. You ever seen an old man get into a fight and they scrapped that elderly headlock on you and it take about seventeen people to get to get him off you. That's what That's what Tree had. That cop had that company. When I seen that video this morning, I was praying the guy because I just seen a video. I didn't
see what happened. I'm like, please, because Trey had him so well. I'm like, please, don't shoot Trade, or don't shot Trade because he had him. Think, but thin't got nothing happened to Trey all right. Now, Danny Lay has issued an apology after the yellow bone controversy. Now, before this apology, she posted part of the rumor report to I guess give herself some backup. Now. I was confused by this yesterday because I'm trying to figure out what am I missing? You know, She made people were bad
because they don't she's not black. Is she black? Or she posted I'm Dominican. She said, I'm Dominican, I'm Spanish, I'm black, I'm white. Leave me alone. But she has a lighter complexion, so she made a song about having a lighter complexion. Like I'm trying, I'm trying to figure out what's the problem here. I think it's like a
colorism thing, and it's brown skinned girls colorism, all right. Well, she has since apologized via Instagram, And I just want to take a moment to say that when it comes to the colorism, especially in the music business, we've heard Seven Streeters speaking, and we've heard Natory talk about being in three l W and the issues that she had because she was darker skinned, and so it is something that is a real, real thing. And here's what she
had to say. I think people twisted into thinking like I'm trying to bash another woman another skins home, Like that was never my intention. I never looked at my skin as a privilege. I never looked at me I'm better than somebody because of my skins home. Nah, Like I see brown skin women flout their skin all the time in music like, why can't I talk about mine? If you look at me, I'm light skinning, I'm a yellow bone. In my opinion, that's just what I am. Listen.
I said it once and I say it again. Everybody should be comfortable in the skin there, and everybody should be proud of the skin they have. If you light skin, rep your set, If your brown skin rep your set, if you do skin repre set, I don't care as long as you're not saying you are better than someone else because of your skin color. But I've realized this weekend, I'm not having these debates anymore because these conversations about colorism do exactly what the colonizer intended them to do,
and that's caused confusion. You divide people by the color of their skin, and we start in fighting and bickering amongst each other, and we forget the most important thing, and that's we're all black at the end of the day, in case of somebody like Danny Lay where all minorities, the real enemy is and always will be white supremacy.
Colorism is a white supremacist ideology. We learned that from them, and it's used on It's used to keep us from being unified, and as long as we are infighting amongst each other, we lose sight of a real issue, and that's white supremacy. As part of our argument to y' also discusses debated who is her Man. It wasn't something that I looked at so deeply, which I can see
why people will take it deeply. So I understand, and I'm sorry that I wasn't sensitive to the topic when I wrote my comment, like why are you guys taking it so personal? Because it can be a personal thing to certain people, because colorism is a real thing. I'm not a colorist. I'm not a racist. I day the whole chocolate man. I have beautiful, dark skinned friends like and scan isn't something I even see. Of course, it's
a real thing, you know. Colorism is absolutely positively used to keep us divided, and as long as we're not unified, as long as we're in fight amongst each other, we lose sight of the real issue, which will always be white supremacist. Stop calling me while I cannot, okay, because you can't, But I didn't because what I what I will always add to that is light skined men need to be a press, all right. They need to be marginalized.
Their voices need to be silent market all right, Okay, well go ahead and Ben say something back then me, I hate you? You mean you hate me? Oh? You hate me? You hate me because I'm dark? Oh my goodness? That Why is that why you hate me? Up? That's why I chaired when Nino Brown stabbed d I know you knew Jack City? All right? Everybody should have right, well, everybody should have confidence in the skin there in though except for lights can mean you have nothing in white people.
People should not be putting down people due to their skin color and all of that. That should not be happening. That's the main issue, right is putting down other people because of the color their skin, acting like they're not marketable, they're not as attractive because of the color of their skin. No, we're all different shades, all right, and that is your rumor report. All right, mixes up? Next, Happy birthday, Alicia Keys. Let's start the mix off of some Alicia Keys revote.
We'll see you tomorrow. It's the Breakfast Lugal Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We all the Breakfast club. I'll shout out to everybody in Atlanta. I'm actually doing something in Atlanta. Due to everything that's going on in the world, we weren't able to do any of our seminars or webinars. But people have been
spending money and getting money. They're getting at tax refunds, they're getting loans, they're getting all types of things, and are paying these people ten, fifteen, twenty thousand dollars to learn how to get in the real estate game. So we're gonna do a conference a seminar in Atlanta, and this is how it's gonna go down. So we are only putting thirty percent of the people in the actual building. Everything will be six feet away, so it'll be socially distancing.
We also had to pay for social distancing police. You ask me what that is, I'll tell you that's police officers that's actually walking around the venue to make sure everybody has their masks on and socially distancing. And we'll have the same people that will have conventional lenders, hard money lenders, real estate agents, and people that have helped you get into the real estate game and hopefully buy
your first house. I tell everybody that money is cheap, meeting interest rates are low, and I love to see people purchasing homes. Drama, so today is his birthday. He's closing on his home in a week or so, and I'm just happy. I'm happy that we were able to help him as much as I can and help him with an attorney and whatever whatever you need. Credit graduates, you know, while we can and entest rate to low,
we say congrats to Drama on his first traphouse. It's not a traphouse, actual investment, which I'm very happy about. Easy not to put too much information out there, but it's it's an investment and he gets to live there, so it's almost like he's living there for free. Yeah, congratulations,
that's dope. Congratulations. I think that's great with you. It's a lot of people out there getting the legal PPP money and they need to but I wanted to say that, right, So it's good that you know, you're giving them something to do legit with that with that illegal PPP money. And this week for myself is the second week of my store being open officially in Detroit. So Private Label on eight Mile and Dequinder. If you are in Detroit, Private Label is open for business. I'm super excited about it.
It's been going really well this move so far. I'll be out there later this week also, so hopefully I'll be able to see some people while I'm working in the store. All right, now it's time to get up out of here in Charlemagne. You've got a positive note I do. First, I want to tell everybody to please go pre order Tamika Mallory's upcoming book, State of Emergency, How to Win in the Country We Built. It will be out May eleven, two and twenty one, but you
can pre order now wherever you purchase books. We're actually revealing the cover for her book real soon. But the positive note is simply this progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. That's from George Bernard Shaw Breakface Club. You don't finish her, y'all dumb,
