Was upset and sad about that last day, for now, for now, back whenever she wanted to play hookie. She could come play hook. Yeah. I appreciate you. You always had that house you could go to when you cut school. Yeah, yeah, I appreciate this house. All right, well, let's get right now. Arizona launches an anti woke education hotline tes What does that mean? Yes, everybody, Good morning family, Thank you again for being here. Arizona's top education official, Tom Horn, launched a hotline this week for state residents to report K through twelve class curriculum and lessons that they deem inappropriate. Let's roll the tape and see what he had to say. We've asked parents to call in when they become aware of inappropriate teaching. As you mentioned, that would include lessons that focus on race or ethnicity rather than individuals and merit, gender ideology, social emotional learning, or inappropriate sexual content. And then when we get those calls, we investigate them to see if there's inappropriate teaching that detracts from academics. Why are social emotion and learning rap them and that we need social emotional learning. That's that's one of the things that my foundation, the mental you know, Wealth and Lines, is pushing to having school social, social and emotional learning that teaches you like, you know, social and emotional skills, self awareness, self control that helps you in life. Well yeah, well, because it's really not about that. This really is connected to the critical race theory and what's happening in Florida. It's really it's not about anything except race. And like you just heard the superintendent say, he wants to make sure that they are not detracted from teaching standards. They do not want things focused on race or ethnicity, and they want to focus more on the merits. Now you heard a little bit of the clip, but in the longer interview from the clip that you heard, he went into you know how bad woke academics was. He said that we are all brothers and sisters under the same skin and that race should not play a part of it. And he said the critical race theory is about making race primary and not pushing personal ideology. He also said that the majority of parents, outside of a few print calls, but the majority of parents are excited about this, and to remind folks, he actually uh is a Republican that ran on this policy. His entire platform was centered on fighting critical race theory and stopping the liberal indoctor nation of school children. So I'll throw it back to you guys. If the voters voted him in for this reason, and he put it he said out out right at the gate, I am going to stop wokeness. They voted him in and they seem to be going along with this. So do you guys think it's too munch us over the line? Is it really about race? You know? What do you guys think? I mean, when I saw the interview, he can explain everything, but I just want to know why social emotional learning is wrapped up in there. I know why everything else is wrapped up in there, But why he puts y'all got to do with uh race? Well, that's y'all got to do with gender identity. He just wanted to make sure that the kids learned that the Native American gave the land to the white folks and they didn't take it correct. So you got to use the right term. Because my kids came home and saying that they would go to a white school. Oh and my my daughter snapped my niece and say, no, no, no, no, they took it. Don't you come here with that mess. You know this. We wasn't slay. We was volunteary living in the back of the land and cook every day. And the white man jumped on top of us and was, Okay, that's what they wanted to I want to continue to push the lives correctly. They don't want to scare their work kids. Now we gotta jump into Whoopee Goldberg. Now, Whoopee apologized for saying something on the View yesterday. She said, I'm very sorry, yeah, speaking of woke and which you can and can I say? Whoopie Goldberg is apologizing yet again for comments she made on the View. Now, she and her co workers were discussing possible criminal charges against former President Donald Trump in the alleged hush hush money scandal involving Stormy Daniels, and she used the word jip. Take a listen and let's see what she had to say, and we'll talk about it. On the other side, Peter, who is still believed that he has got you know, gyp somehow and the election, will still believe that he cared enough about it his wife, you know, to pay that money from his personal thing. But I just don't understand. I didn't see I've never I never knew jip was a word that would you know, offend people man for the week. Yeah, Why do we keep back in like words can't have more than one meeting? Why do we act like context doesn't matter. These folks don't understand our culture. Until yesterday, I didn't know meant anything else other than somebody got over him. And that's what I thought. And we even saying for him. I mean, and I could swear it is something that we said in school. He jipped us, right, that's right. Yeah, And and she apologized for she said, you know, I come. In fact she talked about she said, I come, basically paraphrasing from a generation that used the word, and she meant, no, you know, no no harm by it. And as you guys just mentioned, it is a informal verb that means the con swindle, being robbed, defrauded, and something. Yeah, it's a real words. I thought so too. Well it's well it's a slang. Well it's a slang, an informal verb because okay, uh that that means of being robbing, defrauday. And the term is offensive to the Romanian people because they were once perceived as fraud in frauds and thieves. Now, when I was doing this ye, stop stop and speaking and speaking of the N word. There's something else I didn't know. Have you guys heard when I did a deep dive on this, have you ever heard of any MENI mighty mole? Yes, no, it is originally Yeah, he's right, that is also deemed racist and offensive because I wanted to really try to understand, like why was jip defensive? So I did a deep dive and went down the rabbit hole on that, And you are exactly right, any MENI Mighty mole meant catch a negro by the toe and that defensive. So apparently, guys, jip is another I guess thing on the list that offends a demographic and um, you know it calls WHOOPI Goldbergs have to apologize yet again. Yeah, hey man on behalf of Willoby SMD. We know what that means, right, Okay, we know what that means. Right, I don't tell when we get out the air, you know what you don't know what that means? Yes, Manacause, you gotta stop. We gotta stop acting like words can't have more than one meaning. We understand context matter. Y'all know, she wasn't talking about nobody. She was using the word jips for what it means. Yesterday I used it all the time, only gave me one polynyi, but you got back for another one. You're not about to talk about you for They don't. They don't do that to anybody. Now you're not gonna say jip no more now, but I know you. Now you're about to stop. You're gonna stop trying to say you say jip all the time. And I'm saying, in the proper context, isn't in the dictionary? Dad? Did you get that from the dictionary? Yeah, it's literally. Then I'm saying, yes, I don't want to hear that nonsense. I don't hear that nasse in the dictionary. Stop acting like words have just one me. They don't. Y'all know that context matters, even though if you don't know what context means no context. All right, Well you got about twenty one seconds. I don't want you by your time. You're good, I'm good. Lasts from page News. Get it off your chest eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open again. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Is the breakfast club? Good? Morning the Breakfast Club. It's a new days. Your time to get it off your chest? Wait? Wait, will you're mad or black? Sid me get up and get something? Call up now eight hundred five eighty five one oh five one. We want to hear from you on the breakfast club. Hello, this is Malcome Malcolm, what up? Getting off your chests? Welcome in the middle. What up? Ye? How you donna understand? Bro? Because words morning, understand day. But you're looking at a lake when that world wasn't a dictionary, it wasn't rotory. Hey man, I'm from monks Corn to South Carolina. I've never heard that term in my life used for anything other than to say somebody cheated you or swindled you. Where you from out? But that's how the robbingtory because that Romanian are known for robbin and swindling people. If you robin swindle someone, you must your bro. It's okay for someone to call you and and they're not saying it because they're blackness it because they think they're ignorant, My brother. The word the N word is more widely known as a racial slur. I've never known jip and if you and if you look up the N word in the dictionary. There's no positive connotation to the word at all. The word gypsy actually is a verb that needs to cheat and swindle. Yes, there is definition that positive if you're using it as a verb to say, yo, somebody, Jimmy, we don't know nothing about no people. That's just a word that's that's like saying swiftly. So if there's something there's a culture of people called swifters, I don't know. I upset by noon. Hello, I forgot Oh you right, Taylor Swift fan base. Damn, you're right. Hello, Hello, Hey, what's your name? Destiny? Hey, Destiny, get it off your chest. Yes, I just want to comment on the whoopee But the Whoopie gold Bird situation, that's crazy that she had to apologize for that. I mean, I understand we're at a point where we're trying to be more aware of what we're saying get possibly offending other people. But it's getting ridiculous at this point. And five years ago I said, what's gonna be crazy is what's gonna be offensive? Five years from them, at this rate, we ain't gonna be able to say nothing like like literally, I remember back in the day when the only offensive word was goddamn. But you remember you could you couldn't say you can say god. Damn you if you can say they didn't even want you to say god, then we got a million more things we can't say. Unbelievable. I'm running out of words. I gotta hello, who's this you know? Good morning? Good morning morning? What's your name? Bro? I just wanted to hey, good morning guys. I called a couple of times before us well from Jersey. I wanted to talk about as far as how people will tell you, well, tell you things that you already know is not the truth, in order to erase histories. So like you were talking about, as far as I'm drawing the blank right now, but equally January six, there's a side of the political party that once you believe that what we saw in real time didn't happen, or that it wasn't as bad as we as as it really was all it was just a dust stuff And even now they waited a year and a half to show us a different video that was more than likely edited and standardized to make it seem like it's you. Well, what took place wasn't necessarily that bad. The same thing with American history. So they want to use these code words that sometimes we fall in the chap too and instead of just being latent with what the actually the actually were. So if you want to talk about what flavor, we could think American history and putting all of that umbrella. But I think that long term gold is if we go ahead and discredited enough and don't talk about it, then in a generation two it didn't happen. Of course, that's exactly what they're trying. They're trying to do exactly what they're trying to do. But we're taking your calls. Get it off your chests. Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. But why did we go up? He looks like a slave every time, what you mean every time she's got to apologize natural television everybody. I'm so sick of it. Yeah, I'm so sick of you know, I'm just waiting whooping to snatch up bro off and walk out the stages. And that's it. I'm sick of y'all giving me. I'm spouting out she didn't made enough money, shouldn't have made enough money. Yeah, I'm so tired of him do and this to whoopee man, especially for something that I didn't know anything about, the word jip being of prinsip to anybody. I didn't know that the word jip had any association for a a group of people. It's in the dictionary. She used it for somebody that cheated you, swindled you. I didn't even know it was in the dictionary. I thought it was just a slain word. And she used it for Trump and she was so right. Man, Come on, man, right, come on, how are you gonna apologize for something you called Donald Trump? Donald Trump? Don a pod jock but nothing, he calls nobody Jesus. All right, without your wig on the floor and walk out. That's got a wig on, but it would be funny. But all the time, y'all, jim Met, get it off your chest. Eight hundred and five eighty five, one on five one. If you need the vent, you can hit it something now. We got rumors on the way. We got to talk John Moran. He sat down yesterday for one on one interview with Jail Rolls. That's right with the homie Jaylen Rose and we're breaking down. When we come back, it's the breakfast Club of the morning, a breakfast club. Are you looking at me? Games back? What the hell? Why are you start speaking a tongue? All of them? Night morning, everybody? We are to breakfast club. DJ MB Charlomagne, the Guy, and of course we got our co host, Miss Pat. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk TikTok thro my or you've gossip and or you chatting the rumor report. I mean, I guess we're on the breakfast cloud. This were the tea spills right right on the breakfast club. Now the TikTok CEO shau Zi Chew, he talks about if his kids are actually on TikTok so you have two kids, I do do they use TikTok so? At what ages? Are they? Eight? And six? Okay, TikTok is here in the US if you're below the ages, if you're below thirteen, you get a very restricted version of TikTok. And in many other countries around the world we don't allow us this one below thirteen. I guess the question is I know you said it's a legal requirement that that that kids under thirteen have to have a different app effectively. But I guess the question is do they have to have an app at all? Could you at it so that the kids couldn't have access to it? Is it something you'd ever think about the last time I checked. No, Dan says no in terms of the legal requirement, doesn't allow me to do this. But I can get back to you on this. So he said, that's a TikTok version that allows kids thirteen and under, and his kids did not on that version either. I've heard damn that every owner of a social media app say that. And you know the creators of the smartphones and all of those devices your kids are addicted to, they all say they don't be letting me. My kids don't have any of that. Yeah, now my kids are tickets. I have a phone. I have a fourteen year old with no phone. I say, you gotta do like I did when somebody to grab you screen cut it out. Man, you should have a phone. Hey don't have a phone. So it's an incident. It's something that he's out about. Get on the bus and keep I picked him up with my husband, pick him up. We just they just I'm not into all that and It's kind of crazy how we grew up in the nineteen hundreds with none of that stuff. How do we even get around the pay phone? At least we used to print out maps and ride around like pirates, map questions. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, the phone, the I phone got you around with malcor Man. Right. Yeah, you have to print it out and then you have to make a left at the McDonald's, and you gotta make the right at this restaurant or this motel, a hotel, and then you knew landmarks. It's gonna be a mailbox with a red flag and you're gonna turn right right by that mailbox. You have to remember all of that that were back when people were reading. Yes, we don't have to read anymore. You have y'all don't date when you married. But you've talked to somebody and they'll be talking in their phone and then you get there and they don't talk nothing like what They just takes messages. You like, ain't the way in the hell you text me that? So you you know, I got a brother in law that can't read, but text really well because of the voice. Remember, remember when you have to you have to remember phone numbers. I can remember all phone numbers from when I was a kid. Me too, Grandma phone number, Mama phone phone number, white phone number because she'd been together twenty five years. Like her house number. Yeah, help my wife's house number. Man, you don't have to remember any of that. So our brain cells are dying now. So that's why I don't get the kids a phone. And literally my daughter let them play about on the weekend, maybe an hour or two, and then that's it. Really, how do you know the kids that bridge? It ain't not even just because of your kids, Huh, They ain't my kids. I didn't have that. Their brain sailed day. Their mama was smoking crack, So don't put that on me. I didn't smoke no drugs with my kids, and they brain still died because I got impregnant in the graveyard. But keep going what well? John Moran he had a conversation of one on one with Jelling Rose yesterday and they spoke about him being in the club with that gun, and gilling Rose asked him if the gun was hits you at the spot shotgun Willis. I've been there, you were holding a gun and we both know how dangerous that can be Who's gun where you holding? Well? The gun wasn't mind you know, it's not who I am. I don't condone and any type of violence, but I'll take you know, full responsibility, you know for my actions. Made a bad mistake. Um, and I can see image you know that I painted, you know, over myself, you know, with my recent mistakes. But knowing the future, UM, I'm gonna shure everybody who job really is. You know what I'm about, and um, you know, change this narrative. Boy, he was rehearsed like it a woman. What was that second? I can't even remember. But that's when you get in trouble and just what you're gonna go out there and say? Script? Don't you get off the script? Who I am? Who the jo? The young man is holding himself accountable, he's apologizing. You gotta get a young brother from grace man absolutely got I mean, he didn't hurt nobody. I mean he you know, he was, he's young. That's what happened. When you give young people money, they want to have fun too quick. That's what I mean. I said all the time. Stop giving them young folks all this money and put it in the back in and let him work real hard. I just don't understand why why certain people in the culture think that uh violence, are pretending to be violent. It's considered fun. It's tough to get the girls. Nobody wants someone off for a long time. That's been going on this the nineties. Everybody want to be hardcore. Everybody want to be nobody wants to Corny who wears glasses look like it is.

We got our co host, Miss pat with us at it's time for front page News. Now we got test figure roll on the line, figure rot the hood. Whish for now for someone to start off with kareer mobdude Jabbar you know he sold his NBA championship rings for two point eight million dollars in an auction. Not bad, I mean the reality with the point of holding onto That's exactly what he said. According to ESPN, Jabbar's four championship rings and other memorabilio were up for auction. And what I love about this story such a feel good story to me, is because he actually took the proceeds to donate it to his Skyhook Foundation in an effort to help kids who are interested in science, math, engineering, and technology. He went on to say that when it comes to choosing between us storing a championship ring or trophy in a room or providing kids with an opportunity to change their lives, he said that the choice was pretty simple. He also went on to say, looking back on what he's done in his life, instead of gazing at the sparkle of jewels or gold plated, gold plated things that he did a long time ago, he says that he wants to make sure that he's impacting kids. He says that he no longer has is personally attached to those items, and he wants to create new history for himself in the future of others. I just thought this was really, you know, a dope story. To talk about how he um you know, gave all of that away, giving it to the kids and actually being able to see the fruit that he's buried. That's real. So those rings that just symbols is something they can never take away from him anyway, you know what I mean? So why not use that capital to help people? I think we all like that in certain ways. I know I'm a holder of a bunch of stuff back that I ain't never had any too. I don't want to ever throw away things that I ain't never hadden it. Man, Well, I don't have no trophies, so I guess I got old person's on me probably, you know, I don't know if he said all of them are what he sold, because I would still want something to get to my kids, so my kids could have so they can get their grandkids, you know, something that kids have money. Pass that capital down, don't give it to charity. What would be the most you would buy for something like that, like for your favorite player, one of the former Cowboys, Charlot Mayne, would you break Brandon and spend I think one thing went for like sixty thousand dollars. No, I wouldn't know. I wouldn't like if you're saying to get them kids, even if it went to charity. No, I got a Dallas Cowboy football at the house that all of him signed. No, like Dak Prescott. I got a Tony Romo Jersey signed. Karen Stillball got me that. But they don't mean nothing because they didn't. He needs something to me. But I mean they're not working, They're just for his Yeah, I knew the Cowboys. What's coming now? New York City Mayor Eric Addams, what's going over? Eric Adams? He dancing, Yes, you gotta hangover right now. Just left the club. Shut up, man, Well, he said, he left the club. Well, this particular story, he is pushing his Christianity hard. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said, forget all of that First Amendment mess y'all talking about. He said he is not separating church and state. While he was attending an interfaith breakfast at the New York Public Library, he said on the speech that he walked and talks with the Lord and he will always be a child of God, he said. He claimed, he said he cannot separate his religious beliefs from him being mayor of mean flat out said it. In fact, He told the audience that don't tell me to separate church and state, because state is the body. Church is the heart, and if you take the heart out the body, the body dies. He said, I cannot separate my belief because I'm an elected official. He said that when he puts policies in place, he does it with a godlike approach. He said he's always a child of God. He will not apologize for that. And then he went on to say, when we took prayer out of schools, that is when the guns came in. That that can be debated, but that is his position. And so I guess maybe that explains while he why he is going full Old Testament on his tough own crime. So, even though he was in front of religious leaders, a lot of people objected to it and said that he needs a refresher on the First Amendment question, Tess, have you ever met a godly politician? Like seriously, when when we reach KRYPTI and we see how they be I here, governor, have you ever really met a godly politician? I have, Joe, depends on what day, it depends on what depends on what politician he over there talking crap getting that money have you ever met one time as a godly politician? Well, you know, even if they are, the bottom line is when you swear in you it's not about your personal ideology or your personal soul. People got to figure it out. Do you want to just like we talked about it in the other hour, do you want people to push their personal ideology or do you want them to stakes to the constitution? So you can't pick and choose. So even if he was godly or or the worst center on earth, you are sworn in to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Shout out to all my veterans in the building. You know, I'm a veteran. So it's not about whether he's godly or not. Burst amendments that separate church in the state. And that's just what it is. And if you don't want to separate it, then go to the full pit. That's real because because it could the same could be for people who like our white supremacist. You don't want to bring in that ideology, absolutely, and they do, and they pick and choose. You know what, when they when they're gonna be a Christian when they're not gonna be a ri And so it just muddies the water. I'm never a Christian. It cost too much. It cost too much to be a Christian. You go to church, air time you stand up, they they pass a collection play. So I just quit. Every time you talk, I say, I'm a PREFERMENTU pad. I'm gonna stop now, gonna stop now stop, Hey, salute to YouTube. Tis getting an award tonight, man, you're getting the Champion to Change award from the UCLA Black Lawsuit and Association.

Yes, indeed, John Legend, welcome me back, fellas. How you feelings, Pat? See John Legends on sad for night Scharlomn John Bunisin. Is he one that he got has he? Of course? Yeah? Us, Yes, they got like a few years ago. Yeah, I've been back. Were not cold maybe maybe on Zoom I think ain't too cute on zoo. Shut up. They got a lot of filters on zoom. You can play with it. Not like it up a little bit. Family. Congratulations, everybody's been doing. Everybody's good. We got your wife three kids. Now it's good. You know, do you hate seeing every time I watch Million Dollar List in La, they always referenced you in your house and your old house some way that I don't like that they keep saying our names. And Rihanna lived that at that same house too, and we already sold it and then they're trying to sell it again, but we ain't got nothing to do with it. Now. Every shows like, yeah, that's the house that John Legend used to us renee Christian house. They come like, this is weird that house's been going. Yeah, yeah, we don't live there anymore and we're not trying to sell it somebody else's, but they're using our name plenty. How you look so refreshed with a new born in the house? Man, Well, are you segue to my loved One skincare of that? Because you look at that nothing you could do, Luke, We have a new skink. We do have a new skincare line, and you know it's formulated for melodin rich skin and the focus is really on moisture. So if I'm looking moisturized, it's called loved old One, Loved One, loved One. Yeah, loved one we made you want to go down that lane? Well, you know, I've been working in skincare doing deals with other brands, and I was like, why not start my own? And I didn't want to start it unless we had a real reason for it to exist. When we started doing the research on the business, we realized that there's a lot of black and brown folks that wants skincare that's actually formulated for us and that takes into considerations the unique differences that our skin has, and there weren't very many companies that was actually doing that, and so we said, why not create it? Not only did we want to create it and formulate it for us, but we wanted to make sure everybody could afford it too. So we're selling everything for fifteen dollars to last right now. We're selling it at CBS and Walmart, places where people shot. And so we're like, why make this a celebrity skincare brand? The only celebrities and their friends can afford? Make it told that everybody can afford it and formulate it for a population that's been underserved and hasn't been catered to in this business. Well, can be pap putting on our hands right now because we got some good moisturizing. If you we got moisturized, we got oil. Tell you what happened? You know this pap put the wrong one on her hand, paid started let rubbing on the black man. Never look good. The moisturizer is really good and the oil is really good. Yeah, oh this is nice. It's creamy rich, creamy, rich and creamy. Put on your list. This we got jokes. But the fact is black and brown people actually lose moisture more quickly than lighter skin. And so when we talk about being Ashley, like, that's a real thing, and we're more likely to be Ashley because we lose moisture more quickly, and so a lot of our products are focused on moisture and hydration. Yeah. I'm getting a facial yesterday and she was telling me that you have to put a serum in your face because your face. I never heard this term, but she said, your face drinks and serum actually is what hydrates your face. And you're finding different ways to protect your skin. Barrier and moisture, moisturized hydrate. It's good. It's a product. The only way for artists to create generational wealth. I think it's a combination. I make a lot of money playing live and make a lot of money on my music. But I think having products allows you to make money without having to be out doing a show all the time, you know, So it gives you the ability to create wealth that can build and can be generational because these products can outlive you. They can be in stores forever. And we're trying to build a brand that people really trust and will make a part of the daily routine that they're gonna be buying for decades to come after I'm gone. Are you try to entertainment? No? I love it, Okay. I love making music. I'm always writing, always recording. I just put album out in September, for another solo version of the album out in February, and I'm gonna keep making music, keep playing shows. That's always gonna be my first love. I think it'll be my main job for the rest of my life. Well, i's a better question. Are you tired of being the main product? Like? Are you tired of having to get up and go do the physical work in order to make I feel like I can diversify? Honestly, I think that's what I'm doing, is making it so it's not all writing on me being present every moment and I'm always gonna make music, always gonna do shows. But this allows me to diversify. Now, you know with autists selling their catalogs. You sold your catalog. I sold a piece of my publishing. Yeah, what made you think to do that? Because I've seen so many people selling their catalogs that because a lot of times people say, you know what, I'm gonna keep my catalog so I can continue to eat, my kids continue to eat. But you but it's diversification too, because what you're doing is saying you're letting this other company invest in this piece of your business. And then you're saying, I'm to take that cash they give me and invest in other things. And so for me, it makes it so you're not completely relying on the ups and downs of the music industry. But you're saying, I'm gonna take some of this money and invest it in other things. And that's what I did. Did you bring that down a little bit more, because you know, when black people tend to do things like that, people like, oh, you're selling your catalog, you're gonna have ownership, like, but white artists, dude, I'm watching all the white artist selling. Plenty of people are doing it, and honestly, I did it at the time when I felt like they were offering a high premium when it comes to the multiple. So basically the multiple is they see what you're making per year and they offer you something x times at per year amount for your catalog. And I felt like the multiple they were offering me was very generous. I was going to take that cash and invest it in different things, so it wasn't all relying on my music career to make the money. What are they doing with the music? What's the what's the upside for them? Basically, they're doing the same thing we were doing before. They're getting it placed in movies and the regular revenue of it, streaming, all the other money you bring in from your catalog. Just taking that money in and so they're taking a bet that maybe they can find ways to grow it beyond what it was, you know, normally getting That's a bet that they took, and I figured, let let them take that bet on my music, and then I'm gonna take this cash to get me and bet on other things. I have one question, is this this showers yea everything's unisease good. Yeah, so it's facing body wash fac somebody moisturizes a shave cream. Everything's unisex formulated for melanimrish skin. I'm gonna use it on me. The place is hidden. You donna love it, you don't love it, I'm sick you washed your son, or you have to fight, I'm gonna use it. I just want to make sure I ain't putting them smelling like no man down. Only two of the products or even have a light sent but both of the sense of very natural and and it's definitely unisex. You're not gonna smell Mannish shaving cream here. And I ain't gonna everybody needs a shave I'm be growing them whiskers down now. So I'm gonna use somebody which fitted. It's just I get chats hair sometime. And the thing about shaving, you know, and all the other things we do to our skin that can strip the skin, that can make it feel dry, and everything we do is focus on moisture and hydrations. So the shave cream is gonna be nice too. You're gonna like it. Oh, have mercies. You look at shaving style, Miss Pat, Miss Pat, don't fight him, No, don't fight him. All right, we got more with John Legend. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, bring everybody is DJ Envy, Charlemagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We got our co host, Miss Pat joining us today and we got John Legend in the building. You ever look back and think about some of the moves you made and when people challenge those moves back then, and then it all unfolds and it'd be like you see the vision, like I'm just thinking of Kanye West, right, And when you first decided, you know, this is not where I want to go. It's not the route, and people like you're crazy. He's this, he's a genius and you should stay there, and you decided to take your own lane, and then you see how it unfolds. Well, those same people kind of follow what you did. All of these decisions. Though. There were people in my camp that didn't want me to sign with Kanye when I signed with him, because I signed with Good Music and I signed through Good Music to Columbia Records. So all of my first few albums were through Good Music to Columbia Records. And you give up certain things when you signed to an artist production company. But I felt like it was the right move for me because creatively we were in a great place together and his star was ascending as a producer and as an artist, and I felt like being part of that team was gonna propel my career to a place that it needed to be, and it did, and it was really important for me to be with good music for my first few albums. My career wouldn't be what it is without that. And then when it's time to move on, it's time to move on. But we had a really successful run together. You make these decisions and you know, hindsight is twenty twenty and everything looks good. Now it's like everything worked out, it's all good, But at the time you know it's complicated and it's difficult making these decisions and you're not sure if it's going to work out. And you like to think that you you know, you can foresee the future and you can plan ahead, but you never know how it's going to work out. But it worked out. As so many things you give up when you signed to an artist company. Will you give up a piece of your revenue? So but the bottom line is with any of these deals, You're like, would I'd rather have one hundred percent of a smaller amount or fifty or sixty percent of a larger amount. And so you got to do the math and say, is it worth me signing with somebody giving up a portion of my revenue? Are we going to grow the pie together and make something bigger that we all can share together? They have any concerned about you being R and B and him being hip hop? Like no, I think it actually made it so I had my own lane within good music. It made it so that, you know, I wasn't really competing with the other rappers that he had signed. I was in my own lane. But why did you lead a voice? I didn't really leave the boys. I just am not doing this season, but I'll be back. Okay, okay, Well you take a break because like we're having a kid. You know, there's a lot going on, and it's tired of hitting a bail. I turn it around for these seconds. Turn I mean, it would be kind of deceitful to say I'm really taking a full paternity leave because I'm doing plenty of work during this time, but I'm doing a little less work. And it was a perfect time to take a break and uh, you know it's Blake's last season. Let him have his moment and then, uh, Blake is my guy. He tweeted me one day, almost faint. It was by people with buying checks. That wasn't him that way, that was in Miss pat. It was what do you think about the current state of R and B? I know one time did he said R and B is dead? In this conversation has been going on and on for the last couple of months. Which your vision of RMB, which it's not dead. I feel like there's a lot of great artists making great music. I was just on Spotify listening to music in the car today and a lot of it was R and B and a lot of it was current and a lot of it was dope. And I feel like there's so many really good artists making R and B and no, it's definitely not that. Who who does John Legard listened to I was listening to says Up today. I was listening to Summer Walker. I was listening to Daniel Caesar, I was listening to her. I was listening to Frank Ocean, I was listening to I mean, we could have some new Frank, that would be great, Leon Bridges, It's not that. I mean, occasionally I listened to myself, okay, but most of the time I'm focused. Like when when I'm making an album, I listen to it all the time, and I'm like tweaking, getting it exactly right. And then once it's out, then you know, I let it be out. But my kids actually love it, and so they'll ask me to play it in the car a lot. So I end up listening to myself in the car with my kids when I take them to school. Dan, Yeah, I can't do that, my keys. I curse in my coming. I got like occasional curse word in my songs, and so we just try to ignore that. And my daughter will laugh, she's that, dad, you said a bad word. But you know, keep moving. You intentionally put out an album every two years, because I do not exactly intentionally, but I'm like, I'm intentionally creative. So I like to schedule time in the studio. I like to when I'm off tour actually actively make time to make new music. And by the time you know I do that for like six or nine months, it's time to put another album out because I got enough material for it is any song that you created that you just can't stand anymore. But like I hate performing it, I hate doing it. No, I mean I have enough songs that I don't have to play any song I don't like, really, and there's none of my popular songs that my fans want to hear that I don't like to play. What was incredible. I loved it, Honestly. It's like a masterclass every night. She's just an incredible performer. Her mistique, just everything about her. She seems so mythical, like not even a real person, Like she just disappears. Like the last tour was the one we did together, and that was twenty eleven. Wow, it's twenty twenty three. She has she's chilling, she's still even then. Did you interact with her though, we did, and she was super cool like you would honestly you'd be intimidated by her mistique, but in person, she was very chill, and she had her family along on the tour, and all of her people were really kind to my people, which isn't always the case when you go on tours somebody else who's the headliner. They were all super like kind and interacted with my musicians and my band we just had a great time on tour with them. But if the headliner didn't want you, they could just say that, right. So, man, I've been part of when early in my career, I've been part of tours where the headliner would do things like make sure your decibel level was lower and control your stage position. You can't have a band or you're gonna have Yeah. And then once I started having an opening artist, like, I remember that and I never would do that to them. Yeah, I never would do that to them. I was always I would always give them what I felt like was the proper shine, and I never was scared that they was gonna upstage me. I was just like, let's give these people a great show that includes the opening act having a great show too. It's a difficult opening up for somebody because you can do these tours on your own, but now you actually have to open up for somebody. Was that it was actually kind of easy because doing two hour shows is a lot, and doing a forty five minute show is very comfortable. Those artists that are fronted on you like that back in the day, now that you to e got winner to you hold that against them like I don't. Honestly, I'm good. I'm happy. My career is great. I've done very well and had wonderful tours. Like, I'm not gonna worry about small things that happened at the beginning of my career. I got of coution. You ever get on stage and be singing and then before you get your lyrics? Oh yeah, oh, because they happened to me too. Us. Oh yeah, of course, y'all remember that, Joe. Yeah, I'm tired you compaying yourself to John Legend. I'm not world class? What do you do? Uh? Sometimes sometimes I actually laugh about it because I honestly think fans like having those human moments in the show. That's I'm saying it makes human. Sometimes I'll be like that up and excuse me, and I'll just be like, I messed that up and started it started over, And the fans love it because they get a real moment, because they don't want you to be perfect, and they don't want you to be lip syncing and and all that. They want you to be a human. That's why they come to the show. Like if they wanted to listen to the record, they could listen to the record we'll keep it up. We got more with John Legend. When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Bring everybody in. DJ Envy Charlemagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We got our call host, Miss Pat joining us today and we got John Legend in the building. Charlemagne, How did you come up with the name? We loved the one for the loved one. My team came up with it. Obviously, I put love into a lot of what I do. My wine is called lv A. Bunch of my music is of course love music. And I felt like, when you think about that skincare ritual, it's about self love, but it's also something you share with the people you love. And so we felt like that name would be dope. We made it kind of different with the kind of raised oh and the one. Some people say loved oh one, and we got to correct them, but once they learned what it is, loved the one just you know, rolls off the tongue. How long did it take for you to like get all of that together, like you have to go with different products. Yeah, we started like a year and almost a year and a half ago, and so we started with the idea that this needed to exist, that there is a gap in the market that melonated skin wasn't being paid attention to. And if you look at the actual the policy that goes into it, the FDA doesn't even require you to test on any shades darker than like white. Basically, yeah, they don't actually require you to test on it. So if you're testing efficacy, you don't have to test it on brown and black skin. When it comes to dermatology, the dermatologists don't even have to learn about the conditions that brown and black skin are more likely to face. And you look in their textbooks, they're not even seeing pictures of our skin. Absolutely, and so there's a big gap in skincare when it comes to thinking about the different needs that melonated skin has. And so we figured there's a real opportunity here to create something special that our people can use confidently knowing that we put a lot of care and research into developing it for us and then making it affordable for everybody. Now it makes all the sensant word because you know, we always say that black people love the skin you're in, but how about to take care of it too, So take care of it and we want to give people the opportunity to take care this game in a beautiful way that's effective but also affordable. And that's why we wanted it available everywhere, available at CBS ten dollars, fifteen dollars for everything that's affordable, not an Oscar's dinner party. Yeah, did you know what was gonna be born? That's why y'll about the Douno cards. We were like, it was like our insurance in case it was boring, but it was not boring. Must have biggers, y'all pulled them out. We had a good table. Now we didn't actually end up playing. We just had him. We just had him with him just in case. Yeah, we had a good table. Gotta union d Wade queenland Tief. I know we could have some space going to but yeah, we had a good table. We had a good time. Oh so the conversation, okay, I get with you. So the conversation was good, So it was no need to We didn't actually end up playing. They might have played after we left, because we left right after dessert because we both had to fly east on a red eye. I don't know if they played after we leave. Maybe they needed after we left, you know, because you see the list that they put out a rolling Stone to the Greatest Singer's List. To see that list, what did you think about the list? He's laughing his laugh. I don't understand their criteria. It was like it was a lot of people left off. Leave aside the fact that I was left off, but left there was a lot of other people left offs. I'm like, it didn't really make sense. But I feel like they just something called them the trolling Stone, and I feel like they just wanted to spark conversation and uh be a little bit controversial, and they were controversial. Did you read the Franklin's comments on some of the singers on there. Franklin's day was not a frank I was like, yeah, sayce Queen, she came back. Who was you thinking about? You think what? I think? Wow? I just wasn't Who was it? It was Shaka Khan wasn't on Blast. You was on something else. Sha was on something else. Yeah. The thing is like, what is your criteria? Is it like actual like pure vocal ability, because there are definitely people on that list. They're not I wouldn't call them great singers, but they're very like successful artists and so are you basing it on their vocal ability or you're basing it on just their pure success as a lead artist, And then you know there's there's different ways to make that list, and it just seemed like it was all over the place. I hate when they brings success into it. Yeah, success, money, accolades, Like let's just talk about raw talent, like even when it comes to the rap, when it comes to the singing. But it's like, but you know, there's a there's an argument for that too. Like if you're talking about football, you talk about Tom Brady as the goat, you're not saying he's the most purely talented quarterback. You're saying he won the most championships, he had the most success at what he was doing in football. And so there's an argument to make a most successful list. But if you're gonna call it the greatest singers, I feel like singing they should be good singers. I agree it was according to who wrote the list and who here was he or in it. Yeah, I don't think anybody but singers can make those lists. And I don't think anybody but rappers should be able to make the rap list. Did you see the Billboard hip hop list do you think. I mean, it wasn't terrible. I thought it was more. It was less controversial than the singing list. I thought it was too early for some people, like I think it's too early to put Damar and I love, I love Kendrick Lamar, but it's too early to put him in there. How many albums is he in now? I was like four, Yeah, but it's a decade, yeah hip hop. I think for me it got to be at least fifteen to twenty years. Me personally, I just think he's never missed yet. Yeah, he hasn't missed yet. You know, Kendrick has never missed and his skill is impeccable, like his skills and MC is impeccable, and he's never missed with an album or a tour, not even a video. Really, like so many people, you gotta jump over to be number two. I understand, I understand. I understand. I think Jay is number one. After that, I think it gets difficult because I think it mixes a lot of different factors. But I think Kendrick should be in the conversation because he literally is that great and he's and you just compare his raw MC ability against any rapper of any era, and he's right there. He's in my top five. Now let me ask question. A rapper that doesn't write his own is he in that list? But who are we? Who are we saying is not writing that own? Because it was time it was Kanye, it was times it was Drake, there was times it was a couple of people. But that's all rumors. I mean, I never saw Kanye being ghost written. And I've been in the studio with him a lot. He writes. I'm not saying he's written every single thing, but I never saw him being ghost written. I've seen guys in the room like bounce ideas around. But Kanye is a writer, so we should top five. I've never been the studio with Drake, so I have no I can't test the fime. So while you said Kendrick should be in at Jay, I'm gonna say Nas, I'm gonna say Biggie, anybody from the South. I honestly I would put Andre in my top five. Yeah, yeah, but we appreciate you for joining us. Can we can we have a package to send to somebody right now? Can we do that on five right now? We can give somebody? Uh oh, yeah, we give somebody, let's send them some love. Where can you get this everyway? Said CBS. CBS. There's two thousand CVS stores to have it, Walmart dot Com has it, and we're rolling out at five hundred Walmart stores, so it won't be every Walmart store, but it'll be a few beautifully you know not. Yeah, we wanted to be like we wanted to be in mass retail, okay, and we wanted to sell it at prices that everybody could afford. And so um, that was an intentional strategy because we feel like there's plenty of celebrities doing things that are more exclusive, more expensive, and we decided we wanted to do it affordable and accessible. And the regular people like myself appreciate this guy. CVS person, You need to hush your fast. I'm no longer shop little at CVS, but I would be there buying you a caller one on five right now. If you want this package eight hundred five A five one O five one. You get the shaving cream and get the facing body moisturizer, you get the toning miss, you get a cleanser, foliotting cleansing, and you get a facing body washing. Oh I don't get the oil. Oil.

I'm I'm here for black products. That's all I do. I was just there for the makeup the other day. Take me where the black people and I just buy.

So when I see somebody black, dude, So everybody, Sep Charlomage, I'm gonna get support. Everybody, Sept Charlomage Legend. Breast Club Morning. Everybody is j n V. Charlomagne, the guy. We are to breakfast Club. Our co host, Miss pattis here. Let's get to the rooms. Let's talk young mma name or you've gossiping or you chatting report I mean, I guess we're on the breakfast Club. This were the tea spells right right on the Breakfast Club now, Young Amma's health was concerning to a lot of people. Her barber posted a picture of her in getting her haircut, and in the footage you can see that they believe she was slurring her speech a little bit and her eyes were very yellow. Usually when your eyes yellow is a sign of jarnis or liver disease. So people were concerned and she left this note on her Instagram. She says, as many of my supporters know, I've been dealing with various personal health issues the last couple of years. I really was a hospitalizing was successfully treated for several conditions. I'm doing better now. Will take some time, but I'm on the road to recovery and look forward to the future. I'm in good spirits and everything will be explained in the music plus the documentary. Love y'all, don't worry. I'm good. Bless up Amy No. I wish her much more good health. I hope she gets better for whatever she's dealing with. And when I hear stuff like that, I'd be like that, ain't nobody business, but I guess it is. If you post online and then people see you, and then they got questions, you don't have to explain yourself, right, I guess you feel to need to. But we haven't seen the man in a while too too, So when people see I'm sure they're excited because they expecting new music, and then when they see her, they just, you know, concerned. I was. I felt the same way when I saw ab Be Sure, Yeah it was really I was like, what is in the real room? Abbe shut and he came out. He had some health problem. I'm glad he will now you still cute? Abby? Sure? Yeah, I'll be definitely a bounced back. He forgot what it was do I forgot what. I forgot what he was dealing with. But yes, who's everybody dealing with? Help issues? Man? That's why I don't post nothing. If I post something isn't me on the toilet, then you know I'm letting it go. But he is different with you, miss Patt. If you ever post up and you then lost weight, people gonna know something wrong. Slomne is like that. You help me out. We could jump him if you want whatever you want jumping. Remember that little too shooter you at. We could shoot him with the two too. These two send the boots now fifty cents you see never oh, fifty money never never still for fifty never. You just don't want those problems, was the problem. Well It's former brand manager of one of his liquor companies was found guilty of embezzling upwards of two million dollars from the Branton Company. Well fifty took him to court and it's now suing him. He was cleared earlier this month to start collect think on the six point two million dollars debt, and that man ain't got it. He asked that man for his house. He said, I'm gonna poxing your floor. Fifty is allegedly taking the guy's house all his assets, including bank accounts and cars. Fifty's gonna say, the car show is coming up, so if he got some cool cars, we can use it from the car show. That's what happened when you see somebody and they don't have the money to pay you when you win. So fifty posted a picture of the gentleman's house and said, I need you out of my house pop Monday. I think I'm gonna put some POxy floors in this place. I'm gonna keep it and his family pictures around so you know, as a theme for the place. Traveling includes leave that man alone later for twenty thousand dollars and would not leave all alone. I was I'm scared of I think it was less than that, remember he added interest, Yeah it was. I think originally it was like a two thousand dollars and everything came to twenty thous. I don't even think she still she paid him in for you, He's still the bigger issue is that man stole six men in dollars and fifty six right, how much to upward to two millions? Come on, man, come on, come on, six point five million dollar house. You should be in jail. He didn't go to jail, White, oh White, And I didn't say he went to jail fifty to get his money back. And lastly, we got to talk about Whoopie Goldberg. Now she apologized or something she said on the view, and people are saying, well, maybe she didn't need to apology to apologize. This is what she said on the view. Peter, who is still believed that he got you know, jip somehow, and the election will still believe that he cared enough about his wife, you know, to pay that money from his personal thing. But I just don't understand now she said the term jipped. Now, as a kid and growing up, we just thought jip was being cheated, defrauded, or swindled. Even if you're look into the dictionary, that's what it means. Well, I guess it's offensive to some people. And she apologized. You know, when you're a certain age, you use words that you know from when you were a kid or you remember saying. And that's what I did today and I shouldn't thought about it a little longer stop said it. But I didn't, and I should have said cheated, and I used another word. And I'm really really sorry. She could have said cheated. But guess what she said, jipped. And there should be no problem with that because we got to stop acting like words can't have more than one meaning. Why do we act like context doesn't matter? You know what I mean? And these folks don't understand our culture. Okay, until yesterday, I didn't know jipp meant anything else other than somebody cheated. That's true. And she said, I have to start thinking about the words. But but thinking about it how because I would have never thought jip mean anything but cheated us window it really means, say, I gotta stop being black on National TV. That's all it is, because she was just being black. Yeah, I mean that's what we grew up. I mean, I'm fifty and whipping might be sixty something and who didn't grow up here in that d maybe like new people, the new kids. But that word has never been offensive to anybody. And we can broaden it and say, yes, she's black, but it's in the dictionary. So I'm using a word that's in the dictionary in the proper context. How are you gonna act like I'm being offensive to people? Well, what is the proper content? Then it's so if the context in content, what context, context, proper context, contest context, you use the word and the proper context, Well they felt like she That's what I'm asking you. What is their proper content for that word? If it wasn't if she didn't use it right, But it was so offensive. But words can have more than one meaning. And I'm tired of the word police, you know, policing people on the words that they use. You know, they're making people take it out of songs when it doesn't mean anything else. And it's it's getting to the point where what can you say if you say anything you're gonna be scared to speak because they can. You can say seizure. Huh. Can we still say seizure? Yeah? What you mean like like seizure, like like takes up? You put a fuck in his mouth, swomb in his mouth? Depends on what context you use it. I'm sure I don't know. In five years, who know what you're gonna be able to say? They don't never try to cancel the dictionary. I never go after to marry him and webster him, go after the Bible. I care what y'all? Probably all kind of stuff in the Bible you can't see no more. Let's talk about it when we come back. Talk about five eight five one on five one. We're talking Whoopy Goldberg. Should she have to apologize? Man? Whoop? Should have said SMD suck my d? After whoop? You should have said, all right, well whoop you ain't got Now she has asked him. They'll probably depended by that. Yeah, yep, you don't know what she identifies that. Boy, you better shut I'm just joking, all right, boy, you better shut up like that. You don't know, do you? If you up? Boy? Do you boys? Shut up? What that too? Shoot? What we do dudes. Damn, man, we give me your nugget for you want to know, I'm giving my duce dude in the boot too. Four after the hour of marec Hecho needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him. Okay, I hate y'all. Man, No, you don't change the dugget to the duce dude.

Slash the light was donkey up the day, Damn the hea hogs. I ain't trying to be dunkey today no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things called donkey of the day. And it really caught me off guard. Damn Solomon. Who got the donkey o the day to day? Well, jess hilarious. Donkey are to Day for Thursday, March sixteenth goes to Marec Hecko. Okay. He is a twenty six year old British man who was sentenced to twenty six years in prison for murder. Yes, he's been found guilty of murder for stabbing forty four year old Adrian Ellingford. Now let me tell you the story. Adrian was piping his ex girlfriend. Man all right, let me explain. Prosecutor said, Marec was in a relationship with a young lady for seven months, only seven months, and then they broke up and made because she didn't approve of his drug use, but Marec continued to be obsessed over her. Then the young ladies started dating the other guy, Adrian, who was married with two sons, ages ten and twelve. Yes, he was cheating on his wife on the night. Okay, so on the night of the murder, Adrian was staying at the young lady's house. So many violations happening in this situation. Cheating on your wife, stand at your mistress's house overnight, Just terrible rookie mistakes being made by a forty four year old, grown ass, married man with kids. But he was staying at the young lady's house and he woke up in bed and he heard somebody in the house. A short time later, after getting up to see what it was, came back in the room, collapsed on the floor with a knife stuck in his back, and he was pronounced dead at the scene from two stab wounds. That's right, Marec Hackle broke into the house while his ex was in bed with this married man, and he went and got a knife from the kitchen, and, according to the New York Post, stabbed the man with such force that the blade scruck a bone in the victim's chest and the handle of the knife broke off. Jesus Christ Michael Myce Friday the thirteenth, He was playing Jason huh. This is also why you have to take stalkers seriously. Okay, obsessed boyfriends, There's nothing cute about just kind of behavior, because humans get possessive, possessive and they think that you belong to him. Because this man was showing up at her job, he was showing up at her house on everybody wouldn't stop sending her messages and videos all that, only to end up breaking in our house and killing the man she was sleeping with. Now that's not even the sole reason he's getting dunk here to day. The reason he's getting dunk here to day is because of how he got caught. I mean, he would probably gotten caught anyway, but he really handed this one to the police in the Chick fil a bag. Would you like to know how marec got caught? Well, I want to know the knife company. The knife company, Oh because why because it broke off? No, it was sharp, Oh, it was sharp. He might have sharpened kitchen knife. Though it went all the way through. It did go all the way through, did go all the way through. But the reason he got caught is because he told the police on himself. Yes, he came back to the scene of the crime to deliver a message. What you are about to hear is Marik distabled the murderer drunk after returning to the scene of the crime. Let's listen, what's your night. I'm not gonna tell you my name. I don't do it because I know what happened. IM me to know. Figure it out what happened. If you don't have me, you don't know what happened. I don't know. Did some guy I come here? Yeah? He have some guy. I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. He just got so. So you think something's happened to a mail in this address. I know what happened. What happened. That's a hell of a confession and what a sex accent. Have you ever had somebody drunk confessed something to you in that way? Misspect? Yeah? Really? Yeah? Tell us more. My kids I gave you the crabs. Well, your kids father must have been drinking brandy like my rec Ecko was drinking brandy. Jesus, Okay, le could gives you courage, someone that can make you extremely honest. Clearly we know which one that Brandy does. Okay. A drunk tongue is an honest one. They say it's only three kinds of people that tell the truth. I don't know if I believe all of them. But kids, they gotta tell me what they call kids because my little seven year will be lying. They're angry. I believe that to a certain extent. But most times when you're angry, you're just trying to hurt the person's feeling, so you say anything and they're drunk. I believe that wholeheartedly. The drunk tell the truth. And you should never forget what someone says to you when they're drunk, because drunk words are sober thoughts. Please let Remy Mark give him a rec Ecko the biggest hee haw hee ha he huh you stupid motherfuck? Are you dumb? Now did you respond after your um? Baby daddy said he gave me crab?

Alright, well, thank you for that. Donkey of the day. Now, when we come back and got to talk Whoopie Goldberg, all right, shouldn't she be apologized? And that is the question. We ain't talking to you. We're asking the people out there eight hundred five eight five one oh five one with Tiki calls. When we come back as the Breakfast Club, Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's topic time called eight hundred five eight five one oh five. Want to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest hostmans Pat with us, and we're talking Whoopee Goldberg all right now. Whoopy Goldberg had to apologize yesterday for something she said on air. And this is what she said. Peter, who was still believed that he got you know, jip somehow and the election will still believe that he cared enough about his wife, you know, to pay that money from his personal thing. But I just don't understand this was the apology. You know, when you're a certain age, you use words that you know from when you were a kid or you remember saying. And that's what I did today and I shouldn't. I should have thought about it a little longer before I said it, but I didn't. And I should have said cheated, and I used another word and I'm really really sorry. So we're asking should she have to apologize? No, start with you, miss Pat, what do you think? I don't think you have to apologize for being who you are? I mean, Whoopi Goldberg's in her six it does that's the term, don't they use that? R back dead? And I don't know why as a face of everybody, people just damn cry babies these days. I'm with you. I don't think she should have. White people would never apologize on a view. Yeah, I mean, and in its context, like we said earlier, I mean she she used it talking about somebody being swindled. That's the definition and the dictionary, So I don't think she should have to apologize. Charlemagne. Let me tell you, I had a great therapy session yesterday, you know, and I'm saying that to say what I'm about to say. It comes from a very happy, healed whole place. Okay, suck my d on behalf of will be Okay, suck my d dildo d What do you want? An organic gem or whatever you want? Because I don't know why we keep acting like words can't have more than one meaning. Why do we act like context doesn't matter? Gypt is in the dictionary. She used gypped for the context that it applies to. She was not talking about no race of people, She wasn't using it as a slur. She used it the way the dictionary Mariam Webster's says to use it. And until yesterday, I didn't know gypp meant anything else. And he right, because you know what envy, Charlemagne stand for, dark chocolate and him, I don't know that sounds about go to the phone line. Hellos this Hello, Hey, what's your name? Man? Karen?

And how he favored wonderful so in mine? Thank you? And and they hello, how are you good morning? Man? Are you good morning? You're going okay? Now, everybody is defended by something. Now I want to add that if everybody can be offended by something, I'm offended too. Every time they used the word black and I agree it was black ball. Oh it's so dark, it's a black lives. I think we should anymore. Yeah, I think we should start a campaign. We should start a campaign to stop the negative connotation of all things black. I agree with you. Man. What's your last name? Um? Yeah, last name is black. But she but she's right though, black in society is always something bad. Why you gotta put black with ball? Black ball? Stop putting my people with balls, black ball, black mail? You wear black and funerals villains wear black. I'm offended by all of that. Make them apologize to us. Yeah, let's let's let there you go. Thank its black. Somebody something negative on the news or wherever there are. Oh, it was so black, it was so dark. That's right, that's right. Black is color. Black is not a negative. Black is very positive and very beautiful. You put the wall. I laugh in your house. That's why Artie feeling still. I'm with you, gas Black, But let me add Can I just say one more day?

He wasn't doing the moll man A promise, cat, you promise you leaving go hang up on me black. The black is right though I'm trying. I promised myself in twenty twenty three, I wasn't gonna say the N word no more for board. He's N words. Boy, my good, it's all right. Eight N word. I've been here all week, lord n I ain't talking to you. I'm on the opinion all week an by that was working full time eight hundred five and five on five. When we're talking Whoopee Goldberg, should she have to apologize? Call us up now it's the Breakfast Club the morning, it's topic time. Call eight hundred five E five one oh five. Want to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club wanting everybody is DJ Envy Charlemagne. The guy we are the Breakfast Club is Pat our guest host is hanging with us this week. Now if you're just joining us, we're asking about Whoopee Goldberg. Should she have to apologize? Now? It comes from something that she said on a view yesterday. Let's listen. People who still believe that he got you know, jip somehow and the election will still believe that he cared enough about his wife, you know, to pay that money from his personal thing. But I just don't understand. Stop making Whoopee apologize for everything. Man, Listen, if Whoopee wants to apologize for things, I'll understand. But at some point we got to sit down and have a conversation about just how to educate correct individuals because we're acting like these words don't have more than one meeting. What's the point of having the sources and dictionaries and everything else if we're gonna act like these words only got one meeting because you know what, people kill me on Twitter when I use them two dares wrong? Oh lord R and t r E. That's right all the time, Get rid of We only need one. Hello. Who's that? Hi? There? Now? What's your thoughts on WHOOPI Goldberg? Mama? Okay, So here's the thing. The wording hip it is an offensive word. It derives from spy from the Romania. Right, it is how long? How long? How long did you know this? When did you find this out? No, my grandmother did you know? We have gypsy care in Georgia, that being the grocery store and they always begging for money, always come with some stobs or it isn't you know? That's where it comes from, Like I've been do that. But the thing is that she whoopy may not have known it. You know what I'm saying where it actually comes from, you know what I mean? But I like she should apologize only because of the platform that she's on, you up and saying like, hey, I didn't know you know it was an offensive word. I apologize. So why why are these words in the dictionary? Then if this word is in the dictionary and you looked up the word jip and it says it means to cheat a swindle, why can't I use the word if it's in the dictionary, Oh it is, you know, I never knew it was actually difference. I'm saying, let me ask you something. You said she should apologize because of the platform she's on, So let me ask you this. As she said that same thing on BT she apologized, Oh no, because they ain't. As we got free wing, I want to I'm just saying, why can't she be black, should be able to be Whoop, should be able to be her full, unapologetic self on the view. And I'm ready for Whoop to retire if y'all gonna keep doing Whoop like this? Man? Hello, who's this? Okay? Jessica? Good morning morning. How are you you're doing? Grave? So what do you think about Whoope? Goldberg? She'd have to apologize? No, I basically think that they've got every black person something that we do no reason at all. I just feel like it's a continuation of the don't like what we say, So it's a stigua. It's a group that just doesn't like what the black community has to say, whether it's one word or a phrase or just anything. They just don't have They just don't like what we say, and it's put out there that way. That's very true. And you know what, it was an interesting A lot of these people will try to act like systemic racism or institutional institutional racism doesn't exist, but don't things like this prove it. If this is a slur that we've been using, and it's in the dictionary right, and we've been using it in what we thought with this proper context. But now y'all telling us that it's offensive. Isn't this showing that there is absolutely institutionalized racism in America and it's at the root, it's in the road of everything we do. When she apologized and said I should have said keating, it's the same thing. If you look up what a synonym is florid, all of it's the same. I don't even though we can use the word cheatah, how do cheatahs feel about that? Well, she said it, she said it in the thing. She said I should have said cheated. Yeah, but how do cheatahs feel about that. What's the cheating the cheetah the one that do the um? What that that poteator chip? The cat? Yeah, the cheatah cat, the cheetah cat. Yes, well the cheetah cat. Don't talk the one on the commercial the do the cheat shut up? Man's man, Man, the cheetos cat is offended because y'all keep calling people cheatahs. Man, that ain't right. He don't shut your ass. What's what's the cheatos cat name? Man? Yeah, I got Chester cheetah Chester cheatah is offended because y'all keep calling people cheata cheetahs. Ain't no better. Okay, don't be calling people cheatahs. He said, I don't call them cheatahs. Let's say cheese up like him. My goodness, all right, what's the mother of the story? I don't know when the mother of the story? I think, whoopee. I mean, like, I agree with you, whoop and get out of that. Day's gonna let you be you get out of that early, because I want to tell you now. You gotta see though here at the breakfast club they hired because I'm co hold, that would be great. Become cold and whatever you're gonna you can say it. Oh, here's that word gypsy. Yes you can say. You can say it over here, whoop it? And we love you. That's right? All right, Well we come back.

What a what a sliss mother? Look a bull? And I had whatever what that boy used to do people during God damn she said she would go outside and falling the payments, get her whole face up. He was drinking bull in middle school? What yes, we was. That's Oh that's a nasty sting, man, is it now? Drake and twenty one Savage? If you're trying to get tickets for this, it looks like it's gonna be kind of impossible. According to fans, tickets in a hundred level seats in certain cities are starting around five hundred dollars, while seats higher aka than nosebleeds are starting at almost two hundred dollars a ticket. Man, if I paid two hundred dollars for some nosebleeds, I feel like I got jim. Yeah. So people are upset about this, they said, between the fees and everything else, keeping out, look at the bottles a little bit episode. Who you were using a word as in the dictionary? Okay, keep talking. They're gonna walk here, greasy ass, but they're gonna blackball me. And then I'm gonna be so offended that y'all keep calling it black balling. Why black gott to be the negative connotation? Okay, uh, keep it up. They're gonna put you in one hand cup because now, lastly, and this was some sad news, but it was good news, but it was sad news. All right. This probably won't mean anything to you too, but Puerto Rico and d All played yesterday in baseball rep for your people, leaving people for your people. Man, black up here all the time.

Puerto Rico one right, they won last night, but one of the great one of the best pitchers on the team after they won, was cheering and getting excited and then got injured after celebration. But he's supposed to be starting guests in two weeks for Major League Baseball because he plays for the Mets. So people are saying it was great that they won, but he injured himself, so he can't play as the you know, in the Mets game in the next two three weeks. Why was he playing over there in that little league if he played for the Mets, asked about resident Puerto Rican over him. So right now, it's like the World Cup for baseball, and uh, obviously he supporting Puerto Rico. So he played, and he played a free game and unheard a million dollars leg and he gotta come back over here. We gotta take care of it. It's still baseball season, base like a couple of weeks. Oh, no, he's not. He's gonna be out full. I'm saying baseball. They played, They played four hundred games of season. Get him played.
