The New York City subway shooting suspect was captured, thank goodness, and we'll tell you how it all happened. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee Charlemagne the guy we are to breakfast club. Let's getting some front

page news when we're starting easy. All right, Well, the New York City subway shooting suspect was captured. Frank James. He is doing federal court today. A thirties had been looking at evidence that was gathered both in Brooklyn and in Philadelphia, where he was staying right before the rampage. They say he rented a U haul in Philly the day before the attack, and then he drove to Brooklyn.

They also said he rented a storage unit at that same facility, and they got several types of ammunition recovered there. They said technology, video canting, and getting information out to the public helped get everything solved pretty quickly. Here is what Mayor Eric Adams had to say. We want to protect the people of the city and apprehend those who believe in cold green terror to every day in New Yorkers.

And I want to think every day New Yorkers who called him, tips, who responded, who helped those passengers who are injured? Thirty three shots but lessen thirty hours later we're able to say we got him now. You damnedel wasn't hiding right, right, well. He allegedly called the police on himself from a McDonald's and he was found just minutes later nearby. He said he had been seeing himself

all over the news and social media. Now Here is a witness who actually spotted him walking down the street and he was walking cycle clear and I see the people walking behind him and he have like back, small back. I don't know what you have on site. He brought it on the floor. He was thinking he's gonna do something here. Frank James is the only suspect in the Brooklyn subway attack that left ten people shot and nineteen

other people injured. They do have surveillance cameras that spotted him entering the subway system turnstiles Tuesday morning, dressed as a maintenance or construction worker. He had on the yellow hard hat. He had an orange working jacket with reflective tape. And he also left behind at the scene the gun, extended magazines, a hatchet, detonated and undetonated smoke grenades, a black garbage can, a rolling cart, gasoline, and the key to that Uhau van that we told you he rented

in Philadelphia the day before the attack. And that key to the Uhau Van was one of the clues that really helped investigators get to James. They also said that it was a series of life setbacks and anger that led to this happening. He got it at least twice, moved among Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and New Jersey and New York. They said he'd been staying at that Philly apartment over the last few weeks, and that's what we know so far.

He had twelve prior arrests in New York and New Jersey from nineteen ninety to two thousand and seven that included possession of burglary tools, criminal sex Act, trespassing, larceny, and disorderly conduct. But he had no felony convictions, so he was still able to purchase and own a firearm. They said the gun using the attack was illegally purchased at an Ohio pawn shot back in twenty eleven. Oh watching TV News last night and one of the anchors

asked the valid question. They said, how can someone be on the internet talking about all of violence they potentially want to do for years online and nobody investigates, nobody interviews And I know you can't police everyone, but these social media sites, these platforms like YouTube. They're the first line of defense against people like this, Right, so they kind of have to, you know, be on the job

when it comes to monitoring people like this. And everybody, I said, Mayor Eric Adams was saying that you can they take down music and things that are you're not allowed to put up and that a copywritten. Why can't they do the same thing with these YouTube videos and trace those people and get an alert when somebody is

posting things like that. Yeah, but you got to go and STEPFATHERD and just take anne of videos, go see these people like I got an alert to know that it no. But I'm talking about go investigate these people, like go pull up on the crib, Like if I get on this radio right now and I'm I threatened an elected official or you know, threatening any kind of violence that comes to knock on my door, Yeah, knock on his door. And he had numerous videos threatening people.

I mean, he had at one a couple of videos he had your ruler report and he posted you say whatever it was on your ruler report and he went in on on that person. So he had numerous videos of right, And but I'm saying, like, you know, how they alert you when there's music from a you know, at least you get the alert that somebody is saying those things. That's how you first even hear about it,

and then you can go find them and investigate. And some of his videos had you know, fifty sixty seventy eighty thousand view so I mean it had to be somebody that at least alert. Yeah, people definitely had to be re and listen. I don't know if you know after he got arrested that it got all those views though, or before before. He's been on line for a long time, like and I don't know if they have it, but they need a division that just monitors, you know, people

like this. Yeah, because clearly this man was mentally disturbed. So it's like somebody should have saw these years ago and took taking him off the streets.

Yes, and people did not like Amy Schumer's comments about the Chris Rock and the Will Smith incident at the OSCARS, but she sat down with Howard Stern and listened to what her explanation is she said she was triggered and traumatized. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club, go mooning the Breakfast Club. It's about the report angela Need on the Breakfast Club. Well, Amy Schumer got a lot of backlash from her remarks.

She posted about feeling triggered and traumatized days after Will Smith went on stage and slapped Chris Rock over the joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and she was on the Howard Sterns Show explaining what her reaction was about and why she said that it was so it was so upsetting, like and people made fun of me for saying that it was traumatizing, But I don't think it was traumatizing for me. I think it was traumatizing

for all of us. Like it was all Chris Rocks, my good friend, like one of my best friends, and quest Love is also one of my best friends. Like you know, this is a small town and the people who live in New York would stay in New York, like we're close, and so to see that happen, to see her friend get hit and then and also Will Smith, who I've loved and we've all loved forever, and you know, and I haven't been around much violence. It was upsetting

for so many reasons. You know, that's her perspective. If she says she's triggered and traumatized, and she's triggered and traumatized, y'all do realize trauma's a spectrum, right, Like trauma is simply an emotional response to a tragic evince Like she says she hasn't been around much violence. Sadly, a lot of us have seen too much violence personally and now digitally,

so we might be desensitized. Yeah, and she was hosting, and you know they also she said she got death threats over her joke about Kristen Dunn's being a seat filler. But you had to let people know that was a joke that we had pre planned. She knew about it in advance. It wasn't offensive, it would, but she said it was so bad. The Secret Surface actually reached out to her about it. And I don't know, I guess the word would be triggered. But Jay, don't you do

feel embarrassed for Chris Rock And you do. You're feeling brass for Will too in that moment personally, But that's just me. You see two black men doing that. Now, you guys remember Jack Dorsey's first ever tweets, Jack Dorsey, who founded Twitter. That NFT went on sale, right and it was purchased for two point nine million dollars last year by crypto entrepreneur at Sena Estavi. Do you guys know that it's for sale again now? That tweet went on sale as an NFT for now forty eight million dollars.

To think about it, he bought it last year for two point nine million. It's on sale now. He listed to NFT for forty eight million dollars. Do you know what the highest offer was so far? What was it like forty dollars? It was actually about it was about two hundred and eighty dollars. Yeah, yeah, so let me ask you a questions. So to everybody running out to get these NFTs, he paid all that money for the nts and it ain't worth issue. But that's what NFT is all about. Nmts is simply the value I put

on something. It's no, it's no real value to any of these seeing that for the last year. But we know that though somebody everybody's been trying to tell me no, it's big business and it'll go up and you can use it. I'm like that first tweeting' will be worth twenty nine millions. You just don't know. Some people have made a lot of money off of NFTs, some artists that have created their own art and sold them. And there's people who have definitely done well and no doubt.

But once you say don't, but once you buy it from the artists, the artist gets paid. But what is it worth to you? Now? I might He might not even sell it, he said the deadline I set was over. But if I get a good offer, I might accept it. I might never sell it. He doesn't know what he wants to do with it. Yeah, if I give you five million dollars for something, I gave you five million

dollars something. That don't mean it's worth five million doll So what's the highest awful about two hundred and eighty dollars? We should? You won't chip in? I got back I got sixty on it. But he doesn't have to accept it. So he might not even accept that offer. He might decide to just keep it. If you know what I know, he let it go. Right at this point, you better take what he can get, all right. That's a hell of a law. He better take what he can get

at this point. Biggest can't be chooses. Danni's right, all right? All right now, Mark, I give twenty eighty one. Probably is like it's not worth me selling it right now. And you know the price of the crypto for Ethereum might go up. So part of it is the value of the cryptocurrency where it's at right now. We don't come back here this time next year asked for more money. I'm gonna tell him wear a mask. I don't even

know why I'm gonna wear a mask, all right. Mark Wahlberg is talking about his movie Father Stu, and he said that he actually had to stop going to church because he kept getting pitched movie ideas and some of these churches he told Insider that he said, I would literally move around from church to church because I would get pitched a lot. I'm not at church looking to find material. I'm trying to find peace and quiet to

be able to worship. But it turned out to be a priest who told him about the incredible life of Father Stuart Long, who was a boxer turn priest who was an inspiration behind this movie Father Stu. He said he was a least least likely person I'd expect to be pitching me, but he told me the story a couple of times, and finally a register for me. I realized, Wow, I've been looking for something like this. It's a fantastic role, a powerful and inspiring story. It felt different and original

to get people's attention. So you know, he had to gain thirty pounds to portray Father Stu for the movie. He was struggling with a rare autoimmune disease inclusion body myositis. It's what it's called. So he also, by the way, produced and self financed the movie. So now Mark Wahlberger saying that he does hope to make more faith based movies. He said he's even got a production company in the works that would focus solely on getting faith based movies made.

God is an incredible lady like God told Mark Wallberg to start going to church. Then God said, you know what, I'm gonna move you around. You know I'm gonna move you around because he don't want to him movie ideas, only to finally end up in one church where he got a movie idea. Look at God, Gop want a clude bond for God, O God, God be God, and don'ty Yeah. He spent millions of his own money to self fund this movie when no other financial backer would

take on the project. He should have took tides and offers. He said he was actually partly inspired by Mel Gibbson, his co star, who spent around thirty million of his own money to finance the Passion of the Christ. All Right Cuba Gooding Junior has pleaded guilty to forcible touch. She ended that guilty plea yesterday to a misdemeanor charger of forcibly touching a woman at a nightclub in New York City back in twenty eighteen. He admitted to kissing the woman, a waitress at the club, on her lips

without consent. He also admitted to two other incidents of non consensual contact in October of twenty eighteen and June twenty nineteen. Now, under the terms of this plea agreement, he is to continue alcohol and behavior modification treatment for six months, have no new arrest, and after that time he can replead to harassment and if he successfully follows these terms replete to the lesser charge. He can face a sentence of time serves. If he does not comply,

he could face up to one year in jail. All right, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, now we got from page News coming up. What were we talking about? Yes this fatal police shooting that happened in Grand Rapids, Michigan, shooting up a black man during a traffic staff The police department has released several videos yesterday to show what actually happened in those last moments. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast

clubal morning. So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. Hey, it's Angela Yee. Have you taken a look at the General Insurance lately? Switch to the General and you could save over five hundred dollars on your car insurance. Call eight hundred General or visit the General dot com. The General Auto Insurance Services, Inc. An insurance agency Nashville, Tennessee. Some restrictions apply. What up? What the cup? This is Mallawayans and I'm rocking with DJ and v

Angelo Yee and Charlomagne the guy. Everybody is DJ, Envy, Angeline Charlomagne the guy. We are to breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news where we're starting easy. Well, let's start with the Grand Rapids Police Department in Michigan. They have released several videos yesterday of the fatal police shooting of a black man during a traffic stop this month. That man is Patrick Leoya. He was twenty six years old.

He was killed on the morning of April fourth. Now, if you watch the video, there's dashcam video from the officer's car. They show Leoya being pulled over in a residential neighborhood, and both he and the officer, who the officer has not been publicly identified, exit their vehicles. You can hear him in the video asking him for his driver's license. Leoya is asking why he's being stopped and what he did wrong. Then he asked a passenger in the car to retrieve his license, and the officer says

the plate doesn't belong on this car. The Leoya appears to walk away, the officer starts to try to restrain in hand of him. Looya then runs we can understand why, and the officer chases him, pins him to the ground. You can hear the officer telling him to stop and stop resisting, and then you hear him unholster his taser and he yells at Leoya to let go of the

taser or drop the taser. And then that video shows the officer Penloyoya to the ground one more time with a need to his back, grab his gun and shoot him in the back of the head while he is facing down. Really awful to watch any of that. Now. Ben Crump has taken on this case civil rights attorney Ben Crump, and he says that the videos release shows that this was an unnecessary, excessive, and fatal use of force against an unarmed black man who was confused by

the encounter and terrified for his life. He said it should be noted that Patrick never used violence against this officer, even though the officer used violence against him in several instances for what was a misdemeanor traffic stop. Have police shootings like like like that because I'm so common that we are desensitized to them, because every month it seems like we hear a story like this and it doesn't seem like it's much public outrage. It's just the headline.

Like they all sound the same, even down to Ben Crump being the attorney you know, for set situation. Yeah, and that that video was just released yesterday. People were demanding for that video to be released. The prosecutors did not want to release this this video. I never understood that wind up because they don't They don't want the public outrage. That's literally what it is. They don't want the public outrage. They don't want people taking it to

the streets. You know, they don't want people going crazy on social media. But even when these videos come out, I don't really see the public outrage anymore. Like the last police killing that really got people outraged outrage was George Floyd, probably probably Makaya Brant too, And you know, and that's just because of how how brutal the George

Floyd situation was. So I ask again, or we desensitized these kinds of police shootings, because you know, this sounds like so many other stories we hear on the regular. Now's yet to be announced if they are charged against that police officer or what the fate of his job will be with the Grand Rabbits Police Department. But it really is sad and Chatt you because see he's not doing he's terrified and he hadn't he didn't do anything to the police officer. It was even more, I don't

even know what to do when I hear these stories anymore. Like, truthfully, I don't. I don't even know how. I don't even know how to react to them, Like I don't know what to do, all right, Well, what we are trying to do is make sure we bring attention to it for people who may not have heard it or know about it. And then, um, you know, you should get Ben Crump on the line to discuss what he knows more about the case. A lot of times, also what you read in the news isn't the full story. How

does he even keep up? I just been Crump keep up with all of these different cases and all of these different family like how like so many stuff gotta be a blur to him? All right. And the federal transportation mask mandate is being extended for another fifteen days, So if you're going on the planes, trains, or on public transportation in the US, you have to wear a mask at least until early May. May third is the new dates. Here is what doctor Fauci had to say.

Why only fifteen days? Well, I think, Angie, because it's a moving target and we really want to see what the pattern is here in the United States, I think making a decision for April eighteenth, I would agree that we really do need more time. It isn't like things are static. Things are moving. We're seeing an increase throughout the country. We're seeing it more so in certain cities, in certain regions than others. And until we get a

really good handle on it, I think it's prudent. I mean, I don't know what the official word has been about that, but if they do extend it, I would not be surprised, and I think that that would be a prudent thing to do. Speaking of being desensitized things, I have been desensitized to doctor Fauci. Have no idea what the hell he's talking about. What is he saying? Well, you know, when you go on planes in pupet transportation in the US,

the mass mandate was supposed to expire April eighteenth. They have extended it until May. Therapy. Now, I didn't even know that. I just thought that, you know, when you're going to plane, it was up to their discretion. I didn't know it was a mandate. No, No, that's not a mandate. And I think people should wear when you're in those close per proximities. I think you should wear a mask. All I didn't mean up to that discretion.

I thought that you still had to wear your mask on the plane and in the airport and stuff like that. You do. That's the thing. I didn't know it. I didn't know it was a mandate that expired. I thought you just still had to You thought it was just permanent forever. Yeah, I didn't know. Yeah, No, it's a mandate right now. So it was set to expire. They've extended it another fifteen days. We don't care, doctor, We just don't care. We're out here, all right, Well that

is your front page news. I'd be lying on the Uba. I'd be telling Uba, I'm wearing a mask. Yeah. They don't really make you wearing mask and ubers anymore. They still ask you, yeah, c little box. But I say, when you get in, they don't. They're not like man. I jumped I jumped into Uber Tuesday and he was like, are you wearing a mask? Do you have eyes? No? I didn't say that to him, but I'm like, yeah, sure, I'm wearing a mask. Did not have one on? Goet

She's the coach of the women game Cocks, and we're gonna talk to her next, So don't move. It's to Breakfast clubal morning, the breakfast Club, the breakfast Club.

Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, a living legend, Phiz and South Carolina is. Don't we claim her to? Okay, hand of the head coach for the South Carolina Lady game Cocks. Will you claim Philly or South Carolina. Um, I work in South Carolina from Philly. I have to tell people all the time, like I just work here. I just work here. Good morning, good morning. Thanks for having me on. Appreciate this. How are you?

I'm doing great. How does it feel to be the first black coach, male or female to win two Division one national championships? Like you literally all black history. I actually did not know that until until social media told me Wow afterwards. Yeah, I didn't know that. Like you know, you you you win one and you just think, oh, you know, what a feat and then it win two and then be a part of history. Um, I didn't know. I didn't know. But it feels great. Why do you

Why do you think you're the only one? Though it's hard, it's hard for a black coaches. Black coaches don't really get a you know, real opportunity to be successful. You gotta you gotta hit it. Like even at South Carolina, we um, we didn't get that good until like three years in. But the ad knew it would take about three years. And I'm looking at him like he's crazy, Like I don't have three years to get ready, you know.

But the state of the program was was was such that it took a while to get some recruits in there to really get the thing rolling. So basically they had to give you an opportunity to get successful. Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's I mean, how long it take you guys to get it to get this It's like two years. Yeah, just two years longer than that to really get it good going. Yeah, first year we sucked. They were on every single day, five days a week, like non stop

of trying to get better. And that's the same thing as coaching, Like we were seven days a week. We gotta, we gotta. You don't get that, you know, that opportunity, but when you do, like you know, people are gonna try to be like y'all, well, let's talk about the start, because you started off as a player, So let's talk about your start as a playing and what made you want to coach because you said it was so difficult, so hard to get in and you didn't even want to be a coach at first. I did not. I

did not. Well, I mean, i I've been very fortunate. I grew up. I grew up in a North Philly and the projects in North Philly, So in Philly so it's a it's a lifestyle. Sports is a lifestyle. So you grow up, you watch you know, the Sixers, Flyers, Phillies, everybody, and then you live out your dream in the hood. Like I played football, I played basketball, played softball, played baseball. So I was just really into sports. And fortunately for me, you know, I use that to just kind of occupy

because you can. You can get into a whole lot of things growing up in the city. And then I got my first college letter from UM it was actually from like Dartmouth. Yeah. I would not have survived there from an academic standpoint. Athletically yeah. And then I was like, hey, I think I got something. I can do something pretty good at at this this basketball thing. And then you don't realize how good you are until you go outside of Philly, you know, and people verify that you're you're

pretty good. And and once I had the story basketball career, you think you're gonna play forever. And then somebody saw something in me that I didn't see in myself. And I was coaching. I didn't want to be a coach, Like I had great coaches, but I didn't see myself being a coach, especially being the coaches. You know, I've been a coaching down for twenty two years. So when I was thirty twenty nine, thirty, I was still playing in the w NBA. So I'm like, I can't be

responsible for it. You know, young people that are just near my age because I'm thirty, they're eighteen to twenty two. I'm younger than their parents. I just felt the responsibility of being responsible for them was overwhelming. And then I got challenged to turn the Temple women's basketball program around. And then I never looked at it as a challenge, and when I did, I was like, hook line and sinker, let me go do this. Who was the first person that saw it in you and said, you know what,

you got the ability to be a coach. Everybody used to say it, you know, as a player, but I saw it for myself until until the ad the I mean, he's deceased now, but I always give him credit for just approaching me with it and finding the very thing that that drives me and that's challenges. So when he did that, I was like, oh, like and he suckered me into it too, like he did like he The final four was in Philly and two thousand I was.

I was with the US Olympic team training there. We had a scrimmage and he said, well, won't you just come over and just basically tell me no, something like I'm from Philly, I can't this hometown. Let me Let me walk over there and speak with him. And then he sat me down asked me two questions. One was can you lead I'm basically the captain on every team that I've been on him point guard, that's my position. So I was like yeah. And then he was like,

can you turn this women's basketball program around? And I was like, was that a challenge? And and I didn't answer. I didn't answer, and then he told me to can you just kind of walk down the hall with me, you know, to meet some other people. And I'm walking down the hall like I've never been on the interview. This became an interview and I didn't even know it.

So I walked down the hall, wented to the conference room and it's like ten or twelve people sitting around this conference room and they sitting me at the head of the table and they just started firing questions like what do you see yourself doing in five years? And I'm just like playing I'm still playing. I'm playing. Yeah. Yeah, So I'm just like not really giving them the answers that they want. I didn't. I had a job recruiting me, so I mean, I think they really liked the frankness

of my answers. And I mean two weeks later, I took the job, and it's it's been like my second skin. Like I get. I know, I help a lot of young people by being a dream merchant for them, but I get, I get gratification when I just I was at the w NBA draft Destiny Henderson. Yeah, she got drafted twentieth in the draft. I thought she went a little late. Um, you know, but she's a you know, she's a fighter. To be in this place of seeing my players faces and when they're able to check off

a lifelong dream, you know, it's so gratified. That's why it was important for you to be here. Yeah, it was important. How was it in the beginning when you first started as getting adjusted as a coach. I just treated it like a huddle, Like I'm a point guard, so I used to control the huddles. So I just treated everything like a huddle, like I'm just speaking on what I see what we need to do. And then once we started playing games, there are like long timeouts,

like media timeouts. There are like two and a half minutes, and I would be done at like thirty seconds and we just be sitting there like I'm like, all right, I'm done, and they look at me like, you know, you actually supposed to be saying more than what you're saying. But I was done. But now, you know, being twenty two years and I could fill up an immediate time out and then something. Now going to South Carolina, how

was that leaving Philly and taking that position. Yeah, well I thought when I when I left, when we left Philly, Temple, we could never get past the second round an NC double a tournament, like we were losing the first or second round because we didn't have the talent. We could

outwork you, but we got out talented. And I know, being a competitor that I am, I wanted to win a national championship and I didn't think we could do it at Temple because I didn't think we could get people to come to the city, like it's it's North Philly and it's you know, if you're a parent, you know you you shy away from City of Your Kid. Yeah. So then I went to South Carolina because it was a traditional campus, pretty cool city, like it's a cool

city out of all the southern cities. It's pretty nice city. And I just thought we could we could pull in some some talent being there. But the first three years I thought it was professional suicide. Really yeah, we didn't We didn't have players, and the players that we had didn't really understand what we were trying to accomplish. They thought it was like a hobby, like we got to practice every day? Do we have to do this? Now, now that they see what the program has has been

as successful as we have, they see it differently. They come back and they see, uh, this is what you were trying, This is what you were trying to get us to do, and it's you know, it's it's beautiful though to see the just the evolution of our program. All right, we got more with doorn Stanley. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we

are the Breakfast Club were still kicking it with Don Stanley. Charlomagne. I love how you, you know, pick up all your players. Even when y'all won this year, you picked up everybody that sat on the bench. So I want to I want to ask how important was was Asia Wilson the changing the culture of the lady Asia. She was a number one high school player in the country, just in little old South Carolina, and she legitimized our program being the number one, staying at home, believing in our vision

for her and in our vision for our program. Like it really wasn't Asia, it was. It was a mom that really was the one that said. You know, she tried to say, I'm gonna go somewhere else besides South Carolina, and a mom was like, will you go down there and you tell Dawn in meth and steadily that you ain't going. That's what she said. You go down there, you tell her because I'm not what I think. We put Asia in a position where it was it was hard for her to tell us, know because we you know,

we had a great crowd. You know, we were going to the NC Double A tournament and we were nearing like getting to the final four and winning the national championship. So you know, now and now she's got a statue at statue like, if Asia wanted to come back, she could probably running from mayor governor easily easily. So I'm glad she did it in her hometown. And um, she put us on a map, and we're keeping her legacy alive. Did did your relationship with the Carolina stought was being

drafted by the Charlotte's thing? Well, well, no, because my parents are from South Carolina. My parents, both parents were born in Swansea, North South Carolina. So I used to come to the country you called the country every summer. So when I decided to come back, I wanted to bring my mom back to uh, you know, to her home state because all of my my you know, all of her siblings still lived in South Carolina. So it's kind of good to bring everybody back to the you know,

to where where everything started. Now, when you got a seven year, twenty two point four million dollar contract, are you all with her pocket? It was a thing. It was to keep the high paced black head coach and women's history. It was out there, right, How do you live in South Carolina with that? Like? Now, what I mean it's I don't I'm not talking about house done.

It's big it's big, but you know, like like I'm a part of it, like I'm They've received me so well in South Carolina that absolutely that you know, I'm

rooted there now, I'm rooted like it. It would be like I've had opportunities to leave, um, but the pull, the people, the people, the people South Carolina have been like tremendous, like like Mahamamada is called a few times, um, you know, but we've built it and it would be hard for me to leave and give somebody, you know, our hard work of putting South Carolina on the bat and just being one of the most story programs in the country. Now, yeah, I mean why would you leave?

I mean I think about people like you know, Pat Summit. How long she was at Tennessee, Um was Gino's last name for you come? Yeah? How long they've been there? Why would you leave? Not a good reason? Yeah, you find it crazy that you know, you played in the w NBA, but it feels like college women's basketball gets way more hyped than professional women's basketball. It takes time. You know, you know the the NBA. You know, if you if you graded the NBA on their first twenty

five years, right, we're probably in this. They're probably in the same place as the w NBA. So if we just keep investing, you know, like like there's an investment in college women's basketball, no matter how a little a big, we think there is an investment. We're on TV all the time, We're on you know, we're on we're streamed. Um. You know, I get a chance to make a whole lot of money. Other coaches make a whole lot of money.

So there's an investment. There's not an investment like that at the w NBA level yet, I think it's building towards that, and I think now the league is at a place where there's only one hundred and forty four jobs in the w NBA. Somebody's missing out, like great players are gonna be at home doing nothing or going overseas to play. You started in the beginning of the w NBA, right, weren't you? I started. I actually started

in the ABL. There were two professional women's basketball teams that started after our ninety six Olympic team, So the ABL, which I played for two years, and it was played during the traditional basketball season, like in the fall and winter, and then I switched over in ninety nine because I had bad knees. I still got bad knees. So I went over to the w NBA in the shortest season. So Lisa Leslie, Cheryl swooz rebeca Lobo, they all, you know,

jumped on board with the w NBA. What was that like, Like, you know, because I guess you know, if you're a woman basketball player, you think there's a ceiling right in

the w NBA game. What was that feeling like? Um, I mean it was cool, Like, you know, the more the marria that you can give women an opportunity to play during the prime of their careers, like for most of our legends and Teresa Edwards and you know, the treating mcclaims, they had to go overseas to play, like they they build their careers and their money going overseas to play. And that's that's what I had to do.

When I left college in nineteen ninety two, there wasn't a w NBA, so I went overseas and and sucked it up. I didn't really like it, but I played in Segovia, Spain, I played in um, I played in France, Tar France, and then I did some stints in Brazil and another stint in Spain. Um, it was it was decent money. Um, but you know, I'm a homebody, right, I used to have like two that it's not like like today. Like today they got the internet, they got FaceTime.

We just had a landline, right and that was probably so expensive to two granted a month. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's like that's like a tenth of my salad. Yeah. I've seen a lot of people blame the w NBA for Brittany grinding situation. WNBA should be ashamed of this stuff because the players shouldn't have to go overseas, you know, to make money. What do you what do you think about that? Overseas you know, honestly have been the way to go because you can, you can make more, you

can make a living. The w NBA usually is is a league that supplements that. Um, I think the w NBA is growing, it's growing. Yes, she had to go Britneys had to go overseas to earn a seventh I mean she's been making seven figures for you know, probably seven eight years now and then and for her to have to do that is disheartening. Um, and we're we're prayerful that that she she gets back to us because it's a you know, it's not a pretty situation that

she's in. But we'll keep we'll keep her in our prayers, all right. We got more with Don Stanley when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club Morning the morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we are to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with the coach of the game Cocks, Don Stanley. Ye, what do you think about endor spent money now too? Coming in?

Do you see that improving as we're watching the NBA w NBA grow Now, I'm I'm gonna tell you this, Like there's a such thing called nil name, image and likeness on the collegiate level. Like our players are making money. Money, they make they're they're they're making more money than than most w NBA players, Like the top level w NBA players,

Superb Brand, the Stewart Asian Wilson, they make money. You know, But if you take a couple of players off our team at South Carolina, you know, the Leah Ballson's is like cooks. I mean, our our team makes a lot of money, probably make more money than any other athlete on our campus. Wow, which is pretty cool that women

can can hold that spot. Does it make it harder to coach them being you know, they're getting money, like you know that's true, that's true for this year, No, But I think as it grows, it's it's it feels like this offseason feels more like like a ProTeam, like having exit meetings. It feels like a pro team that you got to really talk about how you can partmentalize your your branding and your ability to perform at a

high level. Like it, but it's also, you know, a training ground for the next level, the w NBA level. You're gonna have to juggle all these things. And I actually like it because you know, life is full of everything, is full of the social is full of making money, It's full of you know your you know your craft as a as an professional athlete. You're gonna have to be able to manage all that those conversations you have with them about finances and how to make sure that

you protect yourself. I at the beginning of the year, this is what I did. July first, is when it passed and all rule past, and I sent a text out to our group, our team, and I was like, Hey, any of you all want me to help you secure an agent? I know a lot of agents, let me know. And then the ones that wanted to help wanted me

to help them. I set up zoom calls with agents and their parents and it was it was a week of just twenty four hours just trying to get them, you know, secure, because I didn't want this to interfere with We got a good team, like we were a national champion contender, so I didn't want this part, that part of it to interfere with this. So I we

did it early. We did it probably in August in September, so by October everybody had whoever they wanted to represent them and then everything that came up with anything with branding and endorsements went right to their agents. So I didn't have to feel any of it, which was which was pretty good. How do you keep somebody like Elias coming back? How do you keep somebody like her motivated? Because she had such a monster Yeah, won the national championship.

There's really nothing else for her to prove, like, so how do you keep her motivated? You know, she's got she's got that Kobe mentality, like Kobe's greed. Kobe was a greedy athlete, like he wanted it all, like Aliah wants it all, like she wants to etch her name. Like if you the first interview she had when she came to South Carolina and you get the comparisons to Asia Wilson, She's like, uh, I don't want to be Asia Wilson. I want to be I want to be

Eliah Boston. And I thought that was a strong statement, like her first interview, and then for her to do some things that Asia Wilson wasn't able to do, like she you know, she got all the Player of the year every she swept, she swept the whole thing. She's built like that. She wants she wants to win again. She wants to win the national Player of the Year awards again when you have someone to special with her.

And I do think she's a generational talent. I do believe you know, a lot of a lot of people, you know, tend to get put give that adjective to like guards that you know maybe shoot from you know, threes, or you know, they're just super athletic. But she's a six five I don't know her weight because she lost about twenty five pounds before the season. You know, there aren't very many players that get better, like in front of your very eyes, like she got better every single year.

So she's just she's just built like that. She's gonna be a number one draft pick. She made me feel old too, because I was like, I've never seen somebody so motivated by a meme. That meme motivated her all yet, you know, you know, players like Aliah like and she's very sweet, like she's a nice and sometimes nice people don't get what they deserve because they'll just say, oh, it's okay. So we're in the Bahamas and she just had probably a twenty five and eight game, something that

I think is normal for her, normal for her. But I'm just like, you know, I embarrassed a little bit because I said, do you know why I want you to be dominant? And she was like, so we could win the national championship. I said, yeah, that's part of it. I said, you know, go a little deeper, and she was like no, I said, because do you see that picture they put up that means they put up every time that's something with women's basketball and one of you crying.

So I said, I'm motivated by you turning that that frown into a smile into happy tears. So you gotta go be dominant. And I knew we were gonna play Oregon and Connecticut the next two days in that tournament, and from from that day on, she's been dominant. I know her the feelings. I know she went to her parents, but I hit the parents up before I said, I

said I would. I got in a pretty good so y'all might need to just kind of, you know, be parents shower with some love, you know, But I got in her, and I have really good relationship with our parents. Like those are the people that I talked to the most, because those of the people that have the most just interaction with their daughters. And if I can get to them and get the message in right, we don't we

don't have any problems. Now. I remember, back in the day, you appeared on the episode of Martin when the USA women's basketball team had to play Martin and his crew. Martin was playing against Ginna, but she didn't know Gina was bringing all of you'all, right, listen, I got I don't know. I'm more known for the Martin Show, probably basketball, seriously, seriously, like everywhere I go is like because they do it right. Yes,

I mean that was actually the best. Like we had the best time, and I didn't know what went into to a show. Like yeah, like we flew in like on a Monday and didn't do anything, and then Tuesday we just sat around the table and read our lines and that was it. And then like Wednesday Thursdays when they actually do this show like you're you're doing you know, the acting part of it. Um. But Martin was was cool. We took us to our he took us to his house, both of houses, one right in La. Yeah, we played

on his court. But I did Martin play with gloves on like the football sticky clubs? Why? I didn't know. I didn't ask either didask. We didn't ask. No, But he was bawling. He was bawling in him with gloves on. Did y'all beat them when y'all played on his courting? I mean we were just playing us. It wasn't like it wasn't like the you know, the you know, the real competition. It was just we was it was mixed. And then of y'all asked them, why are you hearing

gloves bro? No experience? Oh? The best, like like the best. You know you grew up watching Martin, you know, right, so you only know them as Pam and Gina. Right. They don't like for you to call them their their names on the show. They like you for you to call them their real name. So you saw them, you're excited, you like, Yeah, they don't. They don't like that at all. But it was a pretty cool experience. I hope they bring the show back. Are you doing a Don Stanley movie? No,

not that I know. Nobody's approached, you like, we gotta tell this the books books, but no stories. I haven't read to do a book either. I gotta do it because I'm forgetting everything right as the time. Yeah, yeah, thank you for joining us. Yeah no, South Philly and South Carolina zone her parents from South Carolina. You can't make me. You can't. Banie got to start it. I gotta go both North Philly. The board North Philly, Coach, Don Stanley, we appreciate you, especially for the powerhouse you

This is the Ruble report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, according to the police, somebody was shot yesterday evening outside Rapper to Baby's home. That's what it says here Rapper to Baby. It was around seven forty five pm when there was a nine

one one call that reported the shooting. Instead, around seven forty five pm this evening, a call came into nine one one reporting that the subject had been shot on the property of Rapper Jonathan the Baby Kirk. The shooting reportedly occurred near the football field on the property. Initial reports indicate the subject who was shot had trespassed onto

the property. Now sources to say it was a very tense nine one one call as telecommunicators were instructing the caller to secure his weapon before responders arrived, and he refused, stating that there could be more intruders. But they did describe that shooting as a non life threatening wound to the lower extremity. I don't see no problem with it. No, don't come on more property any Carolinas. That's thirty ground law. Like you know, you shouldn't be a more property at all.

And I'm sure he's gaity. You gotta hop a gate clown, and he's got a compound he got in the stage. I'm sure you got security. Not only that. Somebody ran up in my crib a long time ago, so I still got PTSD. Now. I don't see no problem with it, don't see the problem at all. I remember that time when that dude jump did he's gate and I was like, you're lucky he didn't get shot. But this person wasn't so lucky. All right, at my gate, I got something for you to.

We are in a strange tit for tat in this country right now. Okay, the

whole political divide left wing versus right wing. We have gotten to a point in this country where I truly believe that people don't care as much as they act like they do. Okay, we're just always trying to get the other side back for something they did to us. Because I refused to believe that this Ohio school district cares this much about a children's book called It's Okay to Be a Unicorn. Yes, this book is about a unicorn, okay,

And this book is causing controversy. And I put controversy in air quotes because there is no such thing as controversy anymore, you know why, Because it's all just a noise. All right? What is your uncle Charlotte told you before? If everything causes outrage, then nothing truly is outrageous. If everything is controver Russia, then there is no such thing as controversy. But for the sake of content, I'll play alone, all right. Now, this book It's Okay to Be a

Unicorn has been banned by the Ohio School District. Why because a lot of people don't want LGBTQ content in schools. Now. This is always framed as a right wing issue, But I know plenty people on the left, plenty people in the center, plenty of people up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, ba and start feels the same way, Okay. They just don't want anyone talking about anything sexual to their kids. And this book It's Okay to Be a Unicorn supposedly

promote the gay lifestyle. Therefore, the Ohio School District has banded well. The book's author, Jason Tarp, who was a scrape Man was scheduled to come and read the book at a school in Delaware, Ohio, and one parent, one parent, I repeat, one parent complained about the event and an

emergency meeting was declared in the book was banned. Not to mention, Jason Tharpe says the book has nothing to do with LGBTQ issues, but rather the book is about self acceptance that he learned from nearly dying of a brain tumor. No need to listen to me, Let's go to wy X ABC six foot report police. The way I look at this is that like your kid's going to go through anything, you know, and it doesn't mean that you're it's because there's rainbows that it's a book

about being gay or whatever. Over the past few days, it's been the growing talk among parents at Buckeye Valley local schools, a book about being yourself, leading to a debate about if it's diving into sexuality. Jason Thorpe is a fighter, thankful to be alive after a recent battle with brain cancer. Toughness and perseverance a big part of the message behind his series of children's books. He has a passion for helping kids, pushing self confidence, boosting self esteem,

and speaking out against bullying. We got several tips that some express concern the book was promoting LGBTQ issues and would not be allowed to be read to kids. Thorpe says, that's not what the book is about. I was using my my story of struggling with it because I grew up as an adult that I didn't like myself. And then it took a brain tumor for me to wake up to my life and realize how horrible of a person I was to myself because I internalized so much

of this stuff. If the book isn't about LGBTQ issues, why did this parent jump to the conclusion that it was. Huh, Well, you just heard what Jason Thorpe said. But according to school employee Klin Braileton, she says, she told you removed artwork because it included rainbows. Rainbows. The book's color palette included rainbows as well, leading this parent to think that it was an LGBTQ theme book. This is why you can't have minority rule. We are letting the stupid among

us have too much power. It's just like social media. You can have a few people making noise on social media, and people act like it's the whole world talking. You let one person, one parent, influence you to not let this author read his book because he saw rainbows and thought gay. Now I know that rainbow is the symbol for LGBTQ pride, Okay. The various colors reflect the diversity in the unity of the lgbtq Q community. I understand that. But LGBTQ is not the first thing I think when

I think rainbows. I don't even know if it's top five. I'm an old school Okay. I grew up Jehovah's Witness, my book of Bible stories. When I see a rainbow, I think God's promise, okay, to Noah, all right, that he promised never to destroy the earth, pot flood for the judgment of sin. Okay. Rainbow symbolize hope, all right. Goes to the first couple of things I think, all right. Third thing I think is the pot of goal that could potentially be at the end of said rainbow. That's

what we were taught growing up. There's a pot of gold at the end of that thing, all right. Fourth thing I think is of lucky chomps. Yes, the cereal Okay, Lucky the mascot making the rainbow goal his head with all the marshmallows in it. Okay, fifth thing I think of, it's rainbow bright. All right. I was born in seventy eight. Yeah, oh, I hear you. If you had one, you had one? No, Oh, why are you get so excited that I don't get excited? I heard you. He was like, oh, rainbow bright. Oh

that was Nick. Oh. Nick, I'm sorry you had a rainbow bright. Nick, I'm telling you. Okay, I was born in seventy eight. Y'all didn't grow up on rainbow bright. Y'all don't remember rainbow bright on Hallmark cards, Okay, in the rainbow Bright cartoon and the dolls. All right, When I see rainbows, that's what I think of. No disrespect to the LGBTQ community, but I don't see the rainbow

and automatically think gay. All right. So this parent is bugging, all right in the Buckeye Valley Local School District is bugging for following this dumbass paring up. All right. Now, I'm gonna tell you something. The parent would have had a better argument, a better case if he if he would have said or she would have said the book was LGBTQ themed. Because a unicorn is a gay horse. We are all in agreement on that, right, just me, Well, okay, a unicorn is a gay horse, just like a dolphin

is a gay shark. Okay, sheep or gay goats, all right, swans a gay ducks. A unicorn is a gay horse many a male horse. Baryl brads have asked to sit on a unicorn's horn, and when they do, they get turned out and become actual unicorns. Everything about them changes. They start getting their main done, their hoods manicured, they

get lashes extended. Oh it's fabulous, all right. That would have been a better reason to complain if you are going to complain, And guess what even if that was your reasoning, Okay, that a unicorn is a gay horse, that would have been stupid too. All of this is stupid. We used to be a country that didn't let one monkey stop no show, but now we let one donkey. Do please give the Buckeye Valley Local School District the

biggest hee hall. I think I'm gonna stop giving donkey to stupid people and stop and start giving more donkeys to the people who follow up the stupid people because y'all posting no better. Oh my goodness. All right, well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Now up next is ask a Yee eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call ye right now. She'll help you out with all your problems. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,

the Breakfast Club. Need relationship advice, need personal advice, just the real advice? Haul up now for asking morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlowne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for asking Ye. Hello, who's this? Good morning? This is Bread from New Jersey. Bread from New Jersey. What's up? Brother? What's your question for you? So? My question is, so I started digging this young lady,

very nice, young lady, very respectful. I like her. Okay, So she gets she gets a couple of calls from her ex you know, I still love you, and she get a text message on I'm gonna die without you. You know, all this goofy stuff, you know the guys do after they look after they messed up. And she told you about it, right, she told me about it? Okay, So this was on Sunday. So yesterday we're having a

conversation again. I'm like, yeah, she's like yeah, the guy who reached out against I'm like, you know, we didn't tell him. So she's like, no, it wasn't at the top of my list. Her problem is it seems like she doesn't understand stuff until I put her, you know, shot on the other foot. So I'm like, listen, how would you like it if for X mind that I used to speak with call me and telling me or

she did was that, well, that's not acceptable. Well, if it's not acceptable for me some one, is it acceptable for you? Acceptable for you? And for some reason she's under the impression that that's not selfish behavior. Okay, so it's a common theme. Yeah, well this sounds like one situation. Um, is this an ongoing thing between you two? No, this is definitely. I well, with regard to her being able to see things that I present to her, she had not seeing them until I put the shoe on the

other foot. Okay, but then she did once you, once you did that, she did see it. No, she she actually said to me, No, it's not an issue because I don't I'm not interested I'm not going to reciprocate. Okay, you think it's okay for him to just continue to do this, But as long as you don't reciprocate, it's not an issue, right, And you know, I'm first of all glad that you expect yourself to her and told her how you felt and also explain how you felt,

and she should respect that. If she has an issue respecting what you need from her, then and it feels like, you know, I don't know how a relationship can work if you're telling somebody that certain things aren't acceptable and they're not in agreeance with you, or they're not saying, Okay, I'm gonna let him know not to call me anymore. I won't take his calls anymore. And she's still speaking to him. Well, according to her, she hasn't spoken to him,

and I believe her, Okay. My deeper concern is the fact that there's this reoccurring theme of selfishness that she doesn't seem to get. But you said she's not talking to him at all, so she did listen to you, right. So the problem is, like Chris rottenscribe like the penis in the glass case, Like if you allow people to hang around. You know, one day, maybe we have an argument when he calls, maybe she decided to take the call. But you said she's not she's not talking to him anymore,

and look, you believe her. She says she doesn't speak to him and that's it, and you believe her. I do believe her. But so you're telling me that you think this is acceptable, like to allow I thought you just said she's not talking. I don't think it's acceptable. You told her something. She told you she doesn't speak to him. You believe her, So that issue feels like it should be a close issue because she's not speaking to him, right, All I ask for to do is

to tell her gout, Listen, I'm in a relationship. I need you to stop doing this, Okay. So you want her to be more confrontational. Absolutely, So it's not acceptable for you if she's just like, I'm not talking to him anymore and just fades out and doesn't respond to his messages or calls. Right, you don't block the guy, you don't. You don't let him know to stop calling. It sounds like to me that you know you don't want you Okay, address it, right, she doesn't want to stop.

I do feel like because I'm also that time, I don't really block people like that, and like some of my exes might sometimes hit me up, but I just am not responsive to it. To me, that's good enough, but you know for you it's not. And she told you about it, so she's being open and honest with you in that way, and she's not speaking to him anymore. I think you know you want her to do things the way that you want her to do them, and

she's doing them the way that's her behavior. I'm not a confrontational, like, don't speak too many, leave me alone, don't call me a black you type of person. I'm more of a if you hit me and do these things, I just won't respond. But you don't like the way that she's handling it, No, But I mean, but to hear you, to hear you expression like that allows me to look at it from a different perspective, because the main thing is that you don't want her speaking to

him and you want that respect right now. The way that she does it is maybe more in line with her personality, and when you say it that way, that is right. Some people are not harsh like that or brutally honest. I'm more of a I'm a just you know, I'm not trying to have this conversation to do all that. I'm a just fade out right. So instead of me calling herself wish, maybe I can look at it as me attempting to put the way I deal things on

with deal with things on her. Yeah, she doesn't have to handle it, but I do feel like if the result is what you guys want, like that's the result that you wanted, do not communicate with him, You're still getting that result. Okay, cool, thanks she and so I just want to say to all three of you guys, um, I really sincerely appreciate the way the show us evolved into a voice the community, Like I really appreciate that's one. Let you guys know that I think you don't thank you.

Thank you. We appreciate you listening. You're the best. But yeah, so I wish you luck with your relationship and you know, keep those lines of communication up. But she should be able to tell you anything. I think it's good that she comes to you and let you know what's going on, but you don't want her to not tell you, right right, all right? Thank god, no problem, Take care all right? Ask Ye eight Andred five eight five one oh five one. If you need relationship advice and any type of advice,

call Ye Now. It's the breakfast Club Good Mornings. There's some real advice with Angela Ye's ask Ye Morning. Everybody is dj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We're in the middle of ask ye Hello. Who's this is? This is hey Chac bro Yeah he So I got this question right. I was trying to throw it out, like how do I get my wife to be most miss pause? You know what I mean? No, what do you mean by more submissive? Give me an example, Well,

time to like high school. We basically go together, like I can't tell her name, So it's like it'd be things where I know I'd be writing, but it's always got to be like it's argument about me making ever serious. You know what I'm saying about something, You know what I mean, And she's already always in a head. You know how women are all meaning like that, but you

get what I'm trying to say. Okay, so you're telling me how all women are, but you're complaining that she says, all men are like that, Oh, what you're trying to say? The word all right, give me a specific example, like what you're right about that? She argues. Let's say it's something dealing with the kids. I don't want to get like two specifically I'm dealing with I may say this is how I wanted to go. She feel like should go his way because I guess she's always right, So

really it's not even a matter of what's best. You guys are arguing over who's right. But that's that's the feel like you shouldn't be that. I feel like because like right all the time? You know what I'm saying, Yeah, because sometimes we end up getting into arguments not over what it is that we're trying to do, but over who's right, and it becomes more about that than what the actual issue is. And it feels like when those arguments continue to happen, it's for another reason. Right, is

there something else going on in your relationships? It hasn't always been like this or is this something that has been happening more recently? No, I think they're just like all a mean look of our relationship that was built over the years. I've been the heire of all these years, and I feel like that I'm kind of out all the time, you know what I'm saying, And I always like, god, damn, I don't want to argue with you every time we got we gotta make a decision on something right, because

that's exhausting, right, and that does affect the whole relationship. Well, my thing is this, when I find myself in a space and listen, all couples get into situations where they're not always agreeing on things. They're not, you know, always on good terms. Sometimes they argue, but being able to do that in a more effective way where you can actually not have an argument, but a discussion is important.

And it's about how you guys speak to each other when you're discussing things, and if you can if you can comment to more of an agreeance on okay, whenever we have something that we don't agree on, let's have a discussion instead of an argument. And how can you do that without you know, you know, some of the main things are not using the words always you know how you said, you know how all y'all women are

or you always feel like men are like this. Using words like that make people get defensive, right, Okay, So a better way to express yourself is, Hey, I was thinking it would be best for the kids if we did this like this. If she doesn't agree, be like, okay, well let's discuss and you know, figure out the best solution.

Because sometimes it is really how y'all speak to each other because you're just arguing to be right, and you get so used to that because it is a dysfunctional thing in a relationship where you guys argue over every little thing. So you have to learn how to communicate with each other and a more respectful man where she gets to say her piece, you get to say your piece, and then you guys are coming to an agreement on it in that manner, and then sometimes you have to

give in, and sometimes she should give in. Sometimes you have to lead with example to show this is how I want to be spoken to and I want to treat you the way you need to be treated. And that might even be in the middle of you guys discussing something, a hug selling her y'all love you. I hate that we are arguing like this because sometimes it's hard to be the bigger person in a situation like that when you're fighting to be right for no reason,

right right, right? All right? Well I wish y'all luck with that, But you know, I just think it's a different type of issue. It feels like it's not even about what y'all are going back and forth over. It's more about how you guys relate and communicate with each other. Yeah, that's what I think it is. To what I was saying, I guess it's kind of like over the years, like kind of got that week, you know what I mean. Yeah, listen, next time it happened, give her a kiss, give her

a hug. And if it's not a bit, and if it's not a big deal, or you know the way it's to say, she wants to do things, it's not bad. Sometimes you give in and then be like, Okay, last time I gave in, so you know, let's do it my way this time. I ask you about to give all right. I think if you roll, you'll call you back, all right, Please call me back, all right? All right? Ask ye eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice,

you can call up now. We got rumors all the way, Yes, and Joe button is talking about everyday struggle and revealing that Academics was actually not supposed to be on that show originally would tell you what it was supposed to be. All Right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, The Breakfast Club might be morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the

Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk about a concert that the prices are falling public I'm happy, oh reports, it's the rum report the Breakfast Club. All right, Well, when Kanye pulled out of Coachella on April fourth, after that, they said, ticket prices on secondary markets have fallen a lot. So general admission tickets for Coachella started at four hundred and fifty to five hundred and fifty dollars when they were available directly. Then ticket prices were around six hundred

and seventy five dollars. But once Kanye Announcy would not be headlining, they said those tickets on the secondary market dropped to about three hundred and ninety dollars. Oh, so it was on the secondary market because Coachella was sold out way before they even enounce who the artists were. Yeah, usually it's a lot more expensive when it's a sold out show and it's on the secondary market. We said they went to up to six to seventy five, but once he pulled out, they dropped to even below what

you could have brought them for directly target it. That makes sense. The way the headline would word it was like nobody was playing Coachella tickets after Kanye pulled out. But I was like, that didn't minos CoA Jella been sold out? Yeah? All right, now let's talk about Joe Button. He was discussing every Day Struggle when that show first started, how it wasn't supposed to be academics on that show in the original lineup. He said, it was a show

with him and Elliott Wilson. Here's what he said, every Day Struggle was supposed to be me and Elliott Wilson, and we would look for a moderator. And then Elliott called and was like, I don't know if I'm doing it, Joe. I think I'm pulling down out of respect for you. Noah A complex shout out to Noah as well. It was like, all right, I'm gonna just start bringing some people in will start just looking at some people, and

Acc was one of those people. And as soon as he left, I said, he said, but I didn't know him and I didn't like him, and that was perfect and ACC was dedicated. Man. Once we started working, I fell off fell love that all right, So that show might not have ever happened the way that it did. And as Ellie is still a title, right, Elliot Wilson, I think, right, Okay, yeah, so there you have it

all right. Now let's talk about album sales. Coy Larey is seemingly responding to reports of her debut album sales. Now the figures have not been verified yet, but they're saying that she's gonna sell about eleven thousand units in the first week. And she went on Twitter and said, can't complain about anything. My debut album is amazing and not one song can you say is bad. It's been five days. I understand Coilerey is so viral and works good on blogs headlines, but trust me, it's all part

of the game. Just ride out and stay focused. And in addition to those numbers, there were some other albums that came out. Five year old Foreign his album was released Biable Basic Constructions before leaving Earth and that is anticipated to sell more than twenty nine thousand units. And then EStG and four two DUG are about to sell about they say twenty six thousand and it's in the first week now. I saw a Meek Mill did a post and he said they crash in the rap game

out that everybody drop on Friday. BS. What the f is that? Why would you want to sell your product on the same day as your competition for a Billboard Look Loo, what does that do for the artists? Is anybody gonna tell me that everybody drops on Friday and not just wrap us. And it's been like that since the beginning of time. It just used to be Tuesday, on Tuesday. On Tuesday, everybody used to drop, all music artists. Why does that happen though? Why does everybody have to

drop on the same day? I mean because it's different a lot of times, there's different genres of music, and even if it's wrapped like you, you'll buy one or two albums at the same time. Like I can think of, like nine eleven is one of the ones that stands out to me the most. When Fabulous debut album dropped and the blueprint dropped. I caught both of them. I know what I'm saying, Like you could just drop on like if you chose. I mean some people can do that,

they drop on like a Wednesday. But then I guess when your first week sales come out, it doesn't count as a full week? Is it? Just for those projections like science behind it? I thought maybe the streaming services only upload on a certain day. Now I think you can put it out. And even before they were streaming services and it was actual CDs you had to buy in story they because I thought the stores restocked on Tuesday or something like that. That's what I thought it was.

I thought it had something to do with the stores. But it also don't matter to me. Variety of the spice of life. When you walk into a liquor stores more than one alcohol, and you walk into a restaurant it's more than one thing on the menu. I don't care if it's a bunch of different rappers that come out on a Friday artist period. I'm gonna buy what I like. Yeah, but also, like you said, I'm gonna buy or I'm gonna listen to what I like. It technical purpose for it that's all. I don't know. I

would like for me to expound on that tweet. That's what I would like. I would like to know more about what he means by it. All right, well that is your rumor reports. All right, thank you, miss Yee. All right, now, shout out to everybody again that came out to my book release yesterday. The book actually comes out Tuesday, but again and I will be on the road.
