[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

Well, right.

[Angela Yee]

Y' all supposed to choose me, DJ Envy. I've been trying to get in there for two years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Bill]

[Juliana]

[DJ Envy]

And I can't wait to see you. And you know what? When I was in essence, everybody's like, where the tall girl Charlemagne.

[Podlandia Announcer]

Keep talking.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God. Exactly. Don't forget the big feet. When they see it. What do they say? They like, God damn Charlemagne not lying. Shut up, man. Just take one more.

[DJ Envy]

It's not that big.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning. Who's this?

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

Hey, this is Dabar.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, Devar, who you want to get a bigger sea haw to?

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

Oh, I told everybody already but the friends and all the people that's voting out there on Horn island that left this man behind because based on maritime law, there's a certain code of maritime law that nobody was supposed to leave him behind. Even if they were the last voter out there, they were responsible for making sure you can't leave somebody on the island, you can't leave a swim in distress.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, wow. I didn't know that. I mean. Yeah, I didn't.

[Destiny (Caller)]

I didn't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I never heard about the maritime law. That's interesting.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

Yeah, yeah. It's a US code. 224-6203. I believe that's code. But you cannot leave or see someone in distress swimming. When he said that, he know he can't make it back, but then turn around, know that he doesn't actually have a secure ride. So basically that. That rule of saying, like, hey, you came with us, you leave with us. No matter what happens on a boat, unless you secure that person on another boat and say, all right, you're definitely going to take him, and you're the original person that bought him out, you're on the hook for that person. So the fact that these young men are able to go home because their parent is a judge, I believe that, you know, that's a setup. Because every time something happens, when somebody's in a city official or they work within a county or state or something, they always use that position of power to make sure they kid go home tonight. But if that was me or anybody else on their boat, because I'm an avid fisherman, I would still be in. I was still being cuffs, I would still be behind bars trying to tell them why I left this man behind.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Brother, I love it. You learn something new on the Breakfast Club every day. Thank you for that information, sir.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Appreciate you, man. All right, brother. That's the people's donkey. We do that every Friday, 1-800-585-1051. You can call in and give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid. And we got this feature, if you go to the iHeartRadio app, we have this feature on the iHeartRadio app on the Breakfast Club Club page called Talkback. And you can go to Talk Back and leave messages, but nobody up here ever checks them. But, you know, one day. So why are you even talking about it? Why would you say that? Because people should do their job. So one day somebody's gonna do their job and go, you know, check the Talkback feature. But, you know, until then, we'll see you next Friday.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, that was the people's donkey again, each and every Friday, 800-585-1051. Now, tonight, of course, before we continue on, is the uncs are out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's fun, baby.

[Bill]

I'm coming to babysit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you coming to learn something. And that's why I want you to

[Bill]

don't be all drunk and talking to me like an uncle tonight. I don't feel like all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

First of all. First of all, you've seen me at concerts before. I don't want to talk. I like to engage in the production.

[Destiny (Caller)]

I don't know.

[Bill]

I feel like this one's gonna be different. Come here, niece.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just don't want to hear nothing crazy.

[Bill]

Back in my day, just don't be

[Charlamagne Tha God]

asking me stupid stuff.

[Bill]

I would crank my hat to the side and turn this all the way up. Come in.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I'm with you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't ask no questions.

[DJ Envy]

Don't say, who's that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

None of that.

[Bill]

He's a huge Jay Z fan. If I have to ask any questions, I have an expert that I can, you know. Yeah, he's fine. Don't worry about him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If Nas comes out and does the hook for Dead Presidents, don't ask no questions. If Fat Joe comes out and does the hook for Bring It On, I don't want to hear like, oh, my God, I didn't know Fat Joe was on this record. I don't want to hear none of that tonight. None of that. Okay. Cuz that would be what Lawrence said. I don't want to hear none of that. None of that.

[Bill]

Show your music legitimately.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, if Nas gonna do hate me now next.

[Destiny (Caller)]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God. Mary Blind was on Jay Z's first album. I want to hear none of that.

[DJ Envy]

None of that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, let's open up the phone lines. Let's play the lines. Clear the lines. Clear the lines. 800-585-1051. Break down quickly. What happened in San Antonio?

[Bill]

Yeah. So in San Antonio, Jacob Toby, who is a announcer for the spurs, is reportedly being fired. We. According to front page, front office sports now, what happened was Jacob, Toby's girlfriend got on his Instagram this week and. And she posted to his Instagram. Dang. I had the comment. Now I don't have it. Jacob, she says that she posted, this is my girlfriend of six years. She's speaking like she's Jacob, but I cheated on her with Lauren Waters. So feel free to continue following me if you really think I'm a good guy, because I'm not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But she got. She got his phone and posted that.

[Bill]

Yes.

[Carrie Brownstein]

And.

[Bill]

And that was a picture of her. And then in the next story, she posted photos of Jacob Toby and Lauren Waters in a photo booth. And they're laughing, giggling, but they're also kissing in one of the photos as well, too. And then the girlfriend later came out and said that it was her on the Instagram stories. But because of this, front Office Sports is reporting that Jacob Tobey was let go from his job because Lauren Waters, her brother plays for the Spurs.

[DJ Envy]

So the question is 800-585-1051 if they what reported what they reported. If it's true, should he have been able to get fired for cheating on his girlfriend? Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Juliana]

Bill, why is my eye twitching? Does this mean I'm in perimenopause? Where's my phone?

[Podcast Host (Bill and Juliana)]

[Akilah Hughes]

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akilah Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.

[Unidentified Speaker (Rebel Spirit)]

As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black state city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslaved people.

[Akilah Hughes]
