the Guy, piece of the planet is Monday. Yes, it's
one day. So that's all we could say it is. Yeah,

(01:05):
truly like I don't even know what to say. Yeah,
I'm looking at I'm looking at the New York Posts
and the New York Daily News this morning. Neither one
of them look real NBA legend daughter killed in helicopter accident.
This is Kobe other one Kobe Bryant nineteen seventy eight,
twenty twenty, with him and his daughter on the Daily News.
I don't know, man, very very sad, I am, I

(01:28):
don't know. It's just a reminder that death really doesn't discriminate.
Like we think certain people are untouchable, you know what
I mean. We think certain things shouldn't happen to certain
people because of their status, because of their celebrity, because
of how much money they got, like, you know, we
just think things like this aren't supposed to happen to
people like Kobe Bryant. But even though we have so
many reminders that that's never the case, this is just

(01:50):
another harsh one that death truly does not discriminate. Right,
So again, our condolences to their family. Can you imagine
Vanessa Bryan and no No, I cannot rather three daughters
and what they must have felt, like dad and sister.
I can't family members. And then there's also nine people
that died in that helicopter crash in total. Yeah, I

(02:11):
saw their families as well. I can't remember his name.
He was a coach and his wife and his daughter
were on the helicopter belly his wife, Carrie, daughter Lisa.
When a woman's coach and her daughter were on the
phone on that's daughter and a Lista were teammates. Oh,
I was thinking about this yesterday. I think it's the
unexpectedness of death that makes death so scary, Like you

(02:31):
just never know when it's gonna happen, how it's gonna happen,
why it's gonna happen. I think it's just the unexpectedness
of it all that just that just just makes it
so so hard to deal with. Well, you know, we'll
be discussing that this morning. The Grammys were last night.
They did a tribute last night, and everyone was discussing
that they were outside the Staples Center to screaming for

(02:51):
Kobe all night last night as well. I didn't see
none of it. Now, you were in La, right, I
was actually in La and I was on the plane
when you got the getting ready to take off. And
I just did a post, like an asking post on
my Instagram page and somebody left a comment like is
it true about Kobe? And then I guess TMZ had
just posted the story like a minute earlier. So I

(03:14):
didn't believe it at first, You know how you see
stories and you're like, there's no way that this happened,
and unfortunately it did. So Yeah, because I'm telling you
that you just look at certain people and you just
think they're indestruptible, You think that they're immortal. You don't
think certain things is supposed to happen to certain people.
But once again, it's just a harsh reminded that depth
is not discriminated. Yeah, it just doesn't. All right, Well,

(03:36):
let's get the show crack in front page news. What
we're talking about, Well, of course we'll be talking about Kobe.
Will give you some of those details, but some of
the tributes that some of his friends, former teammates and
people have to say about Kobe Bryant. All right, we'll
get into that next keeping lock just to Breakfast Club.
Good morning morning. Everybody is j mvy Angela Yee, Charlomagne
the God, We all the Breakfast Club. Let's get in

(03:57):
some front page news, all right, ye when we saw
well we'll start with Kobe Bryant. There were nine people
that died in that unfortunate helicopter crash. Kobe Bryant and
his daughter Gianna aka Gg as everyone called her. They
were flying two thousand Oaks, California for a basketball game
she was expected to play. Kobe Bryant was going to

(04:18):
be coaching, and the helicopter did crash in Calabasas. Also
on that helicopter was Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelly,
his wife Carrie, and daughter Alyssa. Gianna and Alyssa were
teammates at the Mamba Academy. They would fly together routinely.
Christina Mouser, she's an assistant girls basketball coach at a

(04:39):
kindergarten through eight private school in Orange County. She also
died in that crash. Her husband wrote on Facebook, my
kids and I are devastated. We lost our beautiful wife
and mom today in a helicopter crash. Please respect our privacy.
Thank you for all of the well wishes. They mean
so much. Also, there was a tribute at the Grammys
which was last night, and everybody was out at the

(05:00):
Staples Center. They were morning Kobe Bryant. They did have
memorials out there as well, Alicia Keys and Boys to Men.
They did do a performance of It's so hard to
say Goodbye to yesterday and Alicia Keys opened the Grammys
with this. Los Angeles, America and the whole wide world
lost a hero and we're literally standing here heartbroken in

(05:25):
the house that Kobe Bryant built right now. Kobe and
his daughter Gianna and all of those that are that
have been tragically lost today are in our spirit, They're
in our hearts, They're in our prayers, and I would
like to ask everybody to take a moment and just

(05:46):
hold them inside of you and share our strength and
our support with their families. Kobe Bryant tests the lives
of a lot of people. He transcended Jess Basketball and
Dwyane Wade had some words as well. Today is one
of the siddest days in my lifetime. It seems like
a bad think, a bad dream you just want to

(06:08):
wake up from. His is a nightmare. I said it
many times, and Kobe retired from a game of basketball.
He love foot. He left a hole in the game
of basketball. He love foot. He left a hole in
my wanting to play because when I came in the league,
I chased him. I wanted to be respected by him. Now,

(06:30):
Shaq posted, there's no words to express the pain I'm
going through with this tragedy of losing my niece Gigi
and my brother Kobe. I love you and you will
be missed. My condolence his goals out to the Bryant
family and the families of the other passengers on board.
I'm sick right now. Kobe was so much more than
an athlete. He was a family man. That that was
what we had most in common. I would hug his
children like they were my own, and he would embrace

(06:52):
my kids like they were his as well. Also, Lamar
Oldham posted these pictures are just the tip of the
iceberg of our relationship. He taught me so many things
in life that were necessary on and off the court.
On the court, he taught me how to carve out
defenses and how to take my time, how to make
winning my ultimate goal. Off the court, he taught me
to sign my own checks. Of course, anyone who knows
my story knows I've suffered a lot of loss. But

(07:14):
the only loss I can compare this too, is when
I lost my son. Also, former Lakers coach Phil Jackson
says his relationship with Kobe transcended. The Norman said the
crash was a tragedy from multiple families. My heart goes
out to Vanessa and the families that lost loved ones.
Kobe was a chosen one, especially in many ways to
many people. So amongst other people, Magic Johnson said, my friend,

(07:36):
the legend, husband, father's son, brother, Oscar winner and greatest
laker of all time is gone. It's hard to accept.
Kobe was a leader of our game. I mentor to
both male and female players. Yeah. I mean, there's so
many layers to this man, like the layer of him
being a father. You know, Kobe and I are born
in the same year, seventy eight. He's forty one, like
I'm forty one. He's got four girls at home. I

(07:58):
got three, and I don't know about my biggest fears
not being here for my girls. You know, I constantly,
constantly think about life when I'm fifty, life when i'm sixty,
life when i'm seventy. And the reason I think about
that because I think about how old my daughters will
be when I'm that age. So so I want to
die of old age simply because I want to be
here for my girls. And the only other thing I
think about more than that is losing one of my daughters.
So Kobe got hit with two of my biggest night

(08:20):
mans yesterday. He lost. He lost his life, so he's
not gonna be his other three girls and he lost
one of his girls. Well. The Dallas Maverick is also
going to retire Kobe Bryant's jersey number, the number twenty four,
in honor of Kobe Bryant, he wore that number while
playing for the Lakers. They said, Kobe's legend legacy transcends basketball,
and our organization has decided that the number twenty four
will never again be worn by a Dallas Maverick. Honorable. Yes,

(08:45):
well that is your front page news. All right, get
it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one
oh five one. If you need to vent, hit us
up right now phone lines who wide open the number again.
It's eight hundred five eight five one oh five one
is to Breakfast Love Morning, the Breakfast Club. This is

(09:05):
your time to get it off your chests, whether you're
man or blessed. So so you better say we want
to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello. Who's this?
Hey DJ and V. This is Dabby. Hey, Dabby go
want to get it off your chests? Good morning, Good
morn into all of you guys. You know, I'm warning
the passion of Kobe and his daughter and the other
members that were on the helicopter. But I just want

(09:28):
to say that immediately when you guys started talking about Kobe,
Charlemagne turned it around and put it on him, and
you know about what it was about to him, what
it's about to him. It's not about Charlemagne today, it's
about Kobe. So you guys have a blessed day and
know that you are well loved. Okay. I think that's

(09:50):
kind of foolish to say, especially being a Situations like
this hit different, especially when you are a father, Like
if you can't if you can't relate to that and
have empathy because you got kids, and that's that's crazy
to me. Hello, who's this and what's up with it? Um?
I'm calling from East southern California, UM, and I just
wanted to talk about the situation that I was going through.

(10:12):
But first off, best until to Telby, But I wanted
to UM talk about my situation far to cut a
better I'm going through you know, father, I've been the
last three years. UM. So the mother of my child
decided to keep keep my son away from me because

(10:32):
I put it back in tow support. But now everything's
getting the handle. Everything will be done in February. But
it's just being crazy because my son is autistic and
he's schedule right now, so he's not in school right now.
So you know, it was a blessing that not only
the police helped me out, also like the programs that's

(10:54):
my son and his school helped me out. So you know,
I'm just blessing, all right, So that's what having. Well,
we wish you the best of luck for you and
your son. Hello, who's hello? May? What's up getting off
your chest? Hey? What's going on? I just wanted to
stay first off r ip to Kobe Bryant. Man, it's
just a big reminder how life is, how precious it is.

(11:20):
That's all I got to say. All right, bro, okay,
appreciate that. Hello. Who's this? Oh it's Anthony. What's your brother? Anthony?
What's up? Getting off your chests? Oh? Man? I guess
they always very very very job. I'm that ms ABC reporter. Man.
I mean, she clearly awes and thought about what the
hell she was gonna say before she said it. We

(11:41):
all know what she said. That was confusing. I was like,
is this real? Yeah, I think a lot of times.
I think a lot of times during I mean, to me,
that's very small potatoes on a day like yesterday. But
I think a lot of times when people are in
pain and a lot of people are hurt, you just
be looking looking for somebody to direct that that that
that that anger towards. And I think she caught that
raft for having that slip that she had. I'm confused

(12:04):
at how that happened. She said, she said, she said
about what she said she was in her words, she
said that she was she was confusing Nixon lakers, so
she was trying to say Nixon lakers at the same time.
It's what she said, but who knows, man, that's what
I said. To be more responsible with her wordedge and
birthdet drunk stuff basis on the damn air and think

(12:26):
about it before she says it. Yeah, why would Nicky
bencome on her mouth? Probably because you don't know sports
and she probably if if you, if you teleprompter, if
you're a casual sports fan, I don't know. I mean,
I'm just saying what she said. She said she was
because she was trying to say Nixon Lakers and she
said it at the same time she actually said she said,
uh knackers, ta right. She did af your chest eight

(12:49):
hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you
need to vent hit us up now. It was the
breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast club. You're trying to
get it off your chest, whether man or we want
to hear from you on the breakfast But hello, who's this?
Hey this toy? Yaya get it off your chests. But

(13:11):
first I want to say, I was like the Saint
Christ I'm taking me and my friends up this morning,
and like my heart is heavy, like it so like
I lovet the family. Remember, But I was reading on
a that the helicopter class Mountain and to amount because
of it was so much fall and they said that

(13:31):
the I went around six times. Yeah, I read that,
and I normally don't believe everything that I read. But
my thing is is you have to fire amount six times?
Did you see have the weather that you just just
just talking like just im like just we can't do
But I still can't get that through my mom. Well,
you can't just park anywhere. You can't just park on

(13:53):
the house like like just landed, Like I don't know where.
I'm just saying, like, like, I don't think it works
like that. When they got to do an investigation and
the LAPD said they had the ground their helicopters, basically
saying that they're not show why this helicopter was up.
But I mean, you got to let them do an
investigation and see exactly what happened. But yeah, they said,
he did fly around for fifteen minutes hoping that the

(14:14):
far cleared up a little bit, and then they gave
him a route to go, but like they said, he
didn't follow the route though said that was the problem
and he didn't follow the up But like, oh man,
my heart isn't. But you can't do you can't land,
you can't, you can't. I know, I know, I know
in times, I guess everybody wants to make sense of things,
but you know, it don't work like that. You can't
just land anywhere, So helicopter can't just land on top

(14:36):
of people, right, you're right, But I'm just saying that
was my Thoris, That's what I wanted to And I
love you. I love you more. Remember you back Mama? Hello,
who's this? Oh yeah, there was some club? Get it
off her chess. Oh yeah, man, just the depth of
Kobe bard Man really got me messed up. Man, when

(14:56):
I got to lose, I was on the phone my brother,
and I couldn't been even for the moment he said
helicopter and let me know that because I know Kobe,
I could fly as helicopter to practice and took greener
and it just it just it just it really hurts
me because like this mayn't really impact my life, especially
when it came to sports, like I ran a track,

(15:18):
I played basketball, and like he always gave me that
sense of urgency, like to never back down from anybody,
no matter how big, small or tall they are, like
you how to use your knowledge against your opponents. And
it just really hurt me that him, him and his
daughter passed away. So it's just like it really hurts because,
like I mean, I just got work and everybody I

(15:40):
work with just talking about this, and I could even
be on my on my social media, but that's all
I saw. It's really like shocking and it just hurt
to even hear the fact that he just died with
his daughter because I know, like I'm at that stage
where I want to have kids and I abouts to
go away and my wife has to do to day

(16:00):
by a son that it was really like hurt my
feelings that that happened to me, right, yeah, And that's
that's exactly what you just said. Is exactly why I
don't understand why that woman called up here saying I'm
making this about me. I didn't make anything about me.
I'm just telling you why his death hits the way
it hits. When I got three girls at home, I'm
forty one. If you're a man with kids, it's impossible
not to think about yourself in that situation. That could
have been any of us. And it's just a harsh

(16:21):
reminder that death doesn't discriminate. We all want to die
of old age. And you know now Kobe will not
get that opportunity like that. That hits different. Bro eight
five eight five one oh five one. If you need
to vent, you can hit us up at any time.
Now you we got rooms on the way. Yes, we
are going to talk about the Grammys. We already told
you Alicia Keys and Boyson Man did paid tribute to
Kobe Bryant at the Grammys. But'll tell you about other

(16:42):
tributes that happened and who the big winners of the
night were last night. All right, we'll get into that next,
it's the Breakfast Club, the morning, the Breakfast Club. This

Last Night, Nipsey Hustle want a Grammy for our Best
Rap performance for Racks in the Middle featuring Roddy Richard
Hitboy for Nipsey Hustle Roddy Richard Hitboy. Several members of
his family were on stage to accept the award, including
Lauren London and his grandmother. I speak on behalf of
our family, of the almoney and family, and in honor

(17:24):

wasn't doing so great with Something Seations as she was
announcing the nominees for Best Rap Song Performance Higher DJ
Khalid featuring Nipsey Hustle and John Legend, Too Hard Lo

(19:14):
Baby and Gunner Caniny Little Nurse ex Balling Mustard featuring
a process one, The London Young FuG featuring j Cole
and Travis Scott. I really think one of those White

(19:35):
Coaturally Clues executives they saw that London was nominated and
he was like, let's go get somebody with an accident.
Did the announced the Best Hip Hop Rap Awards? That
was dumb, all right. Also yesterday Meek Mill featuring Roddy
Ritchie has the Letter to nip And according to Mike Mel,
all the proceeds for this song We'll go to Nipsey
Hustle's family. We lost. You were really puts playing on me.

(20:00):
Com me skin and go outside without that flame movie.

You know. The five Sing five yes couple days ago

(20:21):
Unless the marathon continue, we keep running but I'm like, damn,
I shot coming forward Stone. How many kids did you
cry when you lost? Song? Yeah? Me played that for
me back in December when I interviewed him. Man in
that line where he says, you the first person made
me feel like I could die. He is not lying,
all right, Billy line when it comes to situations like
Nipsey Man. Philly Ellis had an amazing night last night.

(20:44):
She actually swept all four of the major categories and
she's only the second artists in Grammy history to do that,
and she's the first woman to do that to take
home the Big four awards. That's the Album Records, Song
of the Year, and Best New Artists. The first artist
to ever do that with thirty nine years ago, and
that was Christopher Cross. She's also the youngest Album of
the Year winner in Grammy history. She's only eighteen years old. Yeah. Now.

(21:08):
She went on stage Rubber One a couple too right,
uh oh, yes, all right now for this year. While
she was on stage, she was saying that she did
get Album of the Year, but she felt like someone
else deserved it. Um, can I just say that I
think Ariana deserves this. Thank you? Next got me through
some shop, and I think it deserves like more than

(21:30):
anything in the world. I love you so much. Um,
I'm not gonna waste her time. I'm really not. I
love you. Thank you for this. So she's saying the
Grammy's got it wrong, per per usual. I understand, Well,
she's a pretty big artist and my daughter loves her.
Congratulations she's doing with it? Did it? Did the same
thing with when she won album She said to Beyond
One Lemonade. I listen, I haven't heard either one of
the albums. So I don't know if Billy Eilis should

(21:52):
have won. All Ariana grand Day would have won. But
if artist gets up there and said somebody else should
have won, that lets me know that maybe somebody got
it wrong. Being humble seems like a lot of kids,
a lot of people like Billy Ellish stuff. Yeah, I
swept off for I said, that's historical. Your your daughter
lust Billy Eilish, Right, all right, so she wanted to
see at that our radio music festival last year. I remember,
all right, well that is your rum report a year.

(22:13):
Why wouldn't the Grammys get somebody who loves hip hop culture, Like,
don't you think the presenter should reflect the category. You
know what I mean? Like all Elston right there, at
least say you should get a presenter that reflects the category.
What does Sharon all wanna have to do with hip
hop and rap? Like? And then you wonder when things
like this happened. Come on, man, you should have seen
Kalid's face the camera. Pect that's your moment. That's your moment,

(22:38):
like it's disrespectful, that's your moment. You're about to win
a Grammy and they like DJ Khalide knowing that it's
a whole other collide out there, real for it. She
might not know that though she might not know that
it's hey, Grammy's It's simple. Just get a presenter that
reflects the category. Little baby just chuckled when camera went
on him. All right, well, when we come back, we
got front page news. What we're talking about? You? Yeah,
you know, we are going to continue to discuss code

(23:00):
be Bryant and the unfortunate helicopter crash, his daughter Gigi,
also the other people who were traveling in the private helicopter.
Will give you information and of course will tell you
some of the touching tributes that people wrote, videotaped and
what everyone had to say, all right, we'll get into
that next. Keeping locked this to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.
Everybody is DJ mvy Angela Yee, Charlomagne to God. We

(23:23):
all the Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news. Well,
of course we are discussing Kobe Bryant this morning. Everybody
is stunned to find out that Kobe Bryant and his
daughter Gianna known as Gigi, died in a helicopter crash.
There were nine people that died untild it was eight
people and the pilot. Now, at first they were not

(23:44):
identifying the other people because the sheriff said it would
be awful for these families to find out that there
are loved ones passed away from TMZ. That's right, so
they wanted to make sure that people were aware. At first,
they did confirm Orange Coast College baseball coach John Eltibelli,
his wife Carrie, and their daughter Alyssa or aboard the helicopter.
According to his brother, I just hope these people found

(24:06):
out about it before a blog or TMZ or something
like that. Kobe's family didn't. They didn't know. That's why
the sheriff was upset. Kobe's family didn't. Kobe's family found
out because of TMZ Well. Yes, Antony Alsha Belly is
the one who did identify his brother, the coach John Eltabelli,
and his brother's wife and daughter that were aboard the
playing Christina Mauser the helicopter. Christina Mauser, who's in the

(24:27):
same girls basketball coach, also died in the crash. Her
husband wrote on Facebook, my kids and I are devastated.
We lost our beautiful wife and mom today in a
helicopter crash. Please respect our privacy. Thank you for all
the well wishes. They mean so much. So a lot
of people are grieving yesterday this morning now Kareem Abdul
Jabbar posted this Hope. Was an incredible family man. He

(24:51):
loved his wife and daughters. He was an incredible athlete
and a leader in a lot of ways. He inspired
the whole generation of young athletes. He was one of
the first ones to leave high school and coming to
the NBA and do so well, dominating the game and
becoming one of the best scores that the Los Angeles

(25:12):
Lakers has ever seen. I had the privilege of being
there when he scored his eighty one point game, and
it was something that I will always remember as one
of the highlights of the things that I have learned
and observed in sports. Now it's difficult for a lot
of people to speak. We saw a video of Lebron

(25:32):
James just basically crying. Some NBA teams also had to
play last night and that was difficult for them as well.
Now here's what Dwayne Wade had to say about the
loss of Kobe. Today is one of the saddest days
in my lifetime. It seems like a bad It's a
bad dream you just want to wake up from. He's
a nightmare. I said how many times? And Kobe retired

(25:56):
from the game of basketball. He left foot, love for
hole and gather basketball. Hello foot, he love for hole
and I wanting to play because when I came in
the league, I chased him. I wanted to be respected
by him, all right. Also, we told you about the
tribute at the Grammy's Boys to Men and Alicia Keys

(26:18):
also did pay tribute at last night's Grammy Awards, and
here's their performance. Hello Moell and Barack Obama posted Kobe

(26:50):
was a legend on the court and just getting started
and what would have been just as meaningful of second
act to lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us
as parents. Michelle and I sent love and prayers to
Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day.
So again, we will, you know, keep on discussing the
legacy of Kobe Bryant. He's touched everybody's lives. A lot

(27:11):
of people felt affected by this and the impact that
he's had on across all different types of culture. Yeah,
you know what Meek said on that song talking about Nipsey,
You the first person made me feel like I could die.
Like it's strange, right, Like we've all seen death, we
all know people that have died, but when you see
people like Nipsey and Kobe died, it death hints different

(27:31):
because you realize death really does not discriminate. It can
happen to anyone, and it makes us all question our
own mortality and ways we probably never have. Remember when
Kobe retired back in twenty sixteen, who is everybody was
just you know, Kobe Bryant like one of the best
players ever. He actually started playing basketball when he was

(27:53):
only three years old. All right, well that is your
front page news. All right, let's open up the phone.
Lies let's talk about it. Eight undred five eight five
one five one. Just want to hear from you in
your thoughts, how you feel, Get it off your chests
for real, man, it's all you can do ins like this,
you know what I mean? Whatever you're feeling, allow yourself,
allow yourself to feel, allow yourself to feel that I'm

(28:13):
still bugging off of TMZ posting it before the family
finds out. Could that's the world we live in though,
that's not right though, I mean, you can think about
it like you rushed so fast to be first instead
of just could you imagine I agree with you, shoot
on the internet and you see this and you'd be like,
what are you talking about? I agree with you? But
you know what? Goodn't It's disgusting that a news outlet

(28:36):
would do that. But guess what if somebody is on
the scene when something like that happens, he might post
that and the family might hear about it. So you know,
that's just the world we live in now. Sadly we
live in a very real time era. All right, Well,
let's open up these phone lines. Eight hundred five eight
five one oh five one. It is to Breakfast Club,
Go Morning Gone. But will never be forgotten about beautiful

(28:59):
you guy. You guys are always it's a breakfast club
pointing everybody as DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the God.
We are the breakfast club. Now, if you just joined us,
we opened up the phone lines and we're just talking
about Kobe Bryant this morning. Eight hundred five, eight five

(29:20):
one oh five, one bunch your thoughts and if you
want to vent and we're just opening up the phone lines.
All right, let's go to the You don't got nothing
to say for us, for yourself. I mean, I think
we pretty much said everything. I mean, we've been talking
all morning. One of those things. I just feel so
so bad and so so horrible. It's really it's it's
really nothing I can say. It's you know, yesterday when
I heard, I just got off a line and I
just did everything with my kids I could possibly do.

(29:42):
I mean, I played Hungry, Hungry Hippo, I played Monopoly,
I watched uh movies last night, they damn that, slept
in my bed all night. Like you know, you just
want to hug your kids and just tell them you
love them, Hug your wife, hug your family members. It's
just a tragic situation. Man. I had to stay off
social media. I couldn't even look at everything that was
happening yesterday. I was like, I don't even want to
look at this right now. Hello, who's this? This is Nick? Nick?

(30:06):
What's up? Man? Hey? Man? I just wanted to, you know,
just pay tribute to Kobe man Uh, still in disbelief
about what happened to Code And the only thing we
could do is just reflect on you know. I mean,
it's positive impact that he left with us, you know,
unmatched discipline and tenacity on the court, and not only

(30:27):
just all the sports accolades, but he was a great
family man. And I think that anybody with kids, you know,
could look at this and really reflect on how grateful
we have to be with the time that we have
with our family and exactly bring me the kids right
now a little bit. But I just think, you know,
his contribution to this world and peace to his family,

(30:48):
and not only his family, but everybody on board heard
it was a baseball coach, their daughter as well. Yeah,
his wife's too, Yeah the traffic story, man, So are
just the only thing I could say is today, everybody
today and for the rest of our lives, man, go home,
hunt your kids, hunt your wife, and understand that these
movements are borrowed time. And that's right. You know, I

(31:12):
mean to be out here doing it. That's that's why
I got man, Kobe Little. That's it. You know, all
of us want to die of old age, you know,
simply because you want to be in for our girls,
you want to be in for our wives. And you
think somebody like Kobe won't get that opportunity. And guess what,
none of us get to decide if we are going
to have that opportunity, because you don't get to choose
when you go. You know, what is that gonna say?
Amazing is the impact that he did leave, the positive

(31:33):
impact that he left on so many people. And that
is how I would say anybody should want to be remembered,
just how great Kobe is being remembered. Hello, who's this
all right? Good morning, breakfast? Got My name is Jackie, Hey,
Jackie Day. You know, as a kid, I could not
stand Kobe as a player. I despise the Lakers growing up.

(31:55):
But it's still it hurts because I have kids, and
I have a daughter who's eleven, and to think about
waking up and my husband and my oldest being gone. Man,
I don't know that. It hurts. It hurts. Yeah. Now,
those those babies have to grow out, grow up without

(32:15):
a father, yep, the little ones, you know, they really
won't remember and it sucks for them because off the
field he was an awesome verson, Right, That's what that's
crazy to think about. His newborn is going to know
Kobe about as good as any of us in this room.
No code, only differences they met him. I never met
Kobe the new born. At least get through got to

(32:35):
meet him, and she's gonna know him as much as
we know him. She's gonna hit the stories just like

Hi'm a Anthonayomi. Nao. We're talking Kobe Bryant this morning. Okay.
So I have to say, um, I was like a
whole you know, uh itis sleep blast nights and I

(33:40):
wake up around the leven and I'm watching Fresh Friends
and I see, you know, Kobe Bryant has passed away.
So automatically I'm going on Samsay and all these other things,
all these other websites, and I see that girl Star
hip Hop has the ATC recording and tracking footage of
his aircraft. So I noticed that when it took off.

(34:01):
The whole thing took like when one I knew the
forty five or four seven minutes, but when he took off,
he was eyeing around a little bit. And then after
he did eyeing around for fifteen minutes, they went off
and then crashed. And I keep thinking myself, like, the
very first thing I thought about was I'm a parent
of a nine year old boy, and I've never been

(34:21):
on a helicopter, but I've been on an airplane and
that moment when it's taken off and then you have
that little anxiety in you that you don't know what
happened ye take off and then crash. Yeah, I'm thinking
literally in my head, what did Kobe still the moment? Like,
did it was there any sign that someone was going
to happen? Did he feel oh, my goodness is it?
Did he have a moment with his daughter and he's

(34:42):
talking to her like what was going through his mind
in the aircraft? I'm sure all that happened. I'm sure
all that happened. Like that's that's That's the other thing,
thinking about those moments, you know, before they before they perished.
You know, as a father, your job is to protect
and provide, But you in a situation can't do anything.
Can't do anything. A little girl, that guy, damn, and
like you don't know what you don't know what's happening

(35:02):
when that helicopters going down. If you can hug your daughter,
if you're stuck in the seatbelt, if you oh my goodness,
you don't even know this all that coming, Like if
if they was in fog and they ended up hitting
the mountain, like they don't even know if you if
you saw them, you know what I'm saying, if you
saw the mountain in a wig, like, I don't know, man,
It's just it's tragic. Hello, who's this. It's Charles, Hey, Charles,

up situation when you feel somebody that's invisible and you
see them going and especially him having a daughter, Like
I got a daughter, man, and it's like like that
literally yesterday taking her to Chucky TV. That's when I
founded out. Like I was scrolling through the Instagram and
it came across me, and I'm like like it, this

(35:44):
was in shock because like as a father, like what
are you saying those last moments? You know what I mean?
Like don you say anything? You're a healer, your healer, Yeah,
you everything to this little girl. And it's like you
can't you know what I mean, like hurt, hurt bad,
and it's just like I just wish that like I

(36:29):
Teller Feroll journalists in Atlanta, Georgia. How y'all doing, How
y'are doing? We're doing all right? Man, we're talking Kobe
this morning. What's your thoughts? Bro? Man? Little I have
been the biggest Kobe Bryant fan since the age of
five years old. He is the reason why I fell
in love with the game. And man, i'nna be honest
with you. I just cried yesterday like I've been crying
like continuously for hours. Man, dude, losing somebody that's just

(36:54):
I don't know's It's almost like he became this mystical
feature and not he definitely was. I mean, you know,
it just became mythical. And while I'm on a line
with you guys, I want to say this to you guys.
Y'all have become in a much different way what y'all
done for the last decade. Y'all have become so important
in our homes. And I don't want to be this dude,

(37:15):
this black guy that's two on a high horse to
give y'all y'all flowers while y'all here, and Charlotte Magne specifically,
you know, you have a big impact on my life
as a journalist, King, and I just want to give
you your flowers while you're here. Thank y'all for it.
Every morning. I appreciate you. Thank you, brother. I mean
a lot, you know what I mean, y'all mean a
lot to us and even moments like this, y'all. It
starts with you guys and the coaches. I just want

(37:36):
to show some blood y'all and rest in peace. Twenty
four Hello, who's this? And it's full of my thoughts,
my thoughts about COVID is I felt bad for Kobe.
The reason why I felt bad for Kobe. Knowing I'm
gonna die it's one thing, but knowing I know my
daugh's gonna die with me like that, man, That's that's

(37:57):
that's two. That's two of my biggest nightmares. Man, losing
your own life for not being here for your kids,
are losing one of your kids and he got hit
with both of them yesterday. Yeah, and he couldn't protected
for nothing. That mercy, I thought that right now I'm
feeling that now absolutely, thank you. Brother. Hello, who's this?
This Chuck Man calling from Grenaville, South? Click Man, what's

(38:19):
up cat? What's happening? What's going on? Brother? Yeah? Man,
I'm calling man because, Uh, it's crazy, especially him losing
his daughter with him like that. But what's got me
and my fields a little bit is uh, folks talking
about his conspiracy theory. He died to be sacrificed, but like,
don't don't listen to those people. Please, please, please don't

(38:40):
listen to them. Don't give them type of people no energy.
Please don't. I'm begging you not. I'm not. I'm not
paying no attention. And folks, I had down to the
man because he he married the woman that's not blink Like, yo, y'all,
we wasn't throwing the dermaist man named Michael's a live
don't do a white pass man. Lakers got how many championships? Sixteen?
So every generation of Lakers play have to sacrifice somebody like, yo,

(39:01):
why why are you talking to people like that? Man?
I would say this man, you know, it's just a
reminder that death really doesn't discriminate. You know, as I
said earlier, we think certain people are untouchable. Certain people
seem indescruptible. They are like mythical creatures, gods amongst us
me immortals in the tragedy like this isn't supposed to
happen to somebody like Kobe Bryant. But we know that's
never the case because death does not discriminate ever. And

(39:23):
you know, when you forty one years old and you
know you got daughters like Kobe got daughters. I know
my biggest fear, I know, any of your biggest fears
not being here for your kids. And that's something that
we constantly constantly think about. And you know, I want
to die of old age simply because I want to
be here for my little girls. And Kobe will not
get that opportunity. And guess what, none of us get
to decide if we're going to have that opportunity, because

(39:44):
you don't get to choose when you go. Because death
doesn't discriminate, man. So that's that's really just the biggest
takeaway from all of this for me, that's not discriminated. Yeah,
Hug and kiss a loved one man, because it's some
small things like you know, my son just called me
a second ago, just said come on and pops. Those
little things right there just affect you so much, man,
and absolutely and just you know, just tell a family
member a love one, you love them, Hug them, kiss them.

(40:05):
If you're beefing with one, just call up and just
say I apologize, even if even if you're not wrong. Man,
it's not worth Your life is short and we got
to enjoy and experience the moments, man. Yeah, definitely. My
mom called me because I was on the plane and
she was like, please text me as soon as you land,
and I land, she's like, when you get home, please
let me know you made it home safe. And she
never does that. And it's crazy. You know, my family's
overly protective. Like every time I fly out, my mom

(40:27):
and dad texts me, my wife texts me, my kids
text me, and if they listen, and I know they're
only way to school, I just want to say, I
love you. That's it. I love my family too, man.
I love my daughters, I love my wife. And it's
just like, you know, you sit back and you think, man,
Kobe just woke up on a regular Sunday morning to
take his daughter to do her extracurricular activity, just like
a lot of us were. Yesterday I took I was

(40:48):
at my daughter's chile eating competition in Atlantic City, and
it's the same thing. It's a regular routine day and
all of a sudden, your whole life, as you know
it is turned upside down. Vanessa and the mother girls
had to wake up this morning hoping this was a
bad dream, but it's not, you know what I mean.
All Right, Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes,
let's talk about a show that is making a comeback.
This was a really popular show previously, and I always

(41:11):
felt like they couldn't do more than one season at
a time of this. But we'll tell you what's coming back.
All right, we'll get into that next keeping lock this
to Breakfast Club. Good morning. But yes, more than everybody
is cj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the God, we all
the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rooms to talk
mtvs Punked. It's about side, is the rumor report? Angela

(41:36):
Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, it looks like Punked
is making its return and Chance the Rapper is going
to be the host. They have not announced a date,
but they said it'll be available only on now. Let
me announce this right Quibbi Quimby Quimby's mobile video platform. Yeah,
dropping a clues bux with Quibbit. They're doing a lot
of quid of stuff over that man slew to my guy,

(41:56):
Doug Herzog dropping on a Cluesbux with Dug her Zog.
Jerseys On said no one is safe, and I guess
he's got this new job on Punked. I would assume, well,
I guess it's not like he has to be in
the actual footage. Usually, like Ashton Coolks would run out
from the back, yeah, pop out at the end of something, right, Well,
not all the time. I mean most of the time,
Ashton would be in like the little control room. He

(42:17):
would just be watching what's happening and controlling the people
that are involved. And from what I saw on the trailer,
that's what Chances doing. Yeah, what I'm saying is that
he's not going to be there with the people like
punking them, because then you would know, like, oh, it's
chance the rapper must be yeah, right, So should be
interesting to see who they're gonna punk. They actually punked
was on for eight seasons on MTV, and they had

(42:38):
punked all different kinds of people, So this should be
good to see. The Kanye Westland was a hiar sore.
Remember Ashante Beyonce justin timber Lay. I don't know who Bullets.
I don't know who the is Bullets is all right now.
Over the weekend the Grammy Weekend, Meek Mill ran into
Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty that's a human Naj's husband.

(43:01):
They were inside inside of a high end clothing store
Maxfield and West Hollywood, And according to sources, they said,
Meek was in the store shopping. That's what Nikki and
Kenneth happened to come in the store, talk about timing
and approached him. Now, according to these sources, they said,
Kenneth Petty started getting loud. Meek suggested they all have
a word in private, and they refused to do that.

(43:22):
And they said Meek wanted to keep things civil because, quote,
he's happy. He's in a much better place personally and
professionally than he was back when he and Nikki were dating.
But that video footage is out there floating around if
you want to see how it all went down. Man,
you don't know who you're going to run into. Grammy weekend,
everybody was out and about everywhere, and that is not

(43:45):
one that you would want to see coincidentally be in
the same place at the same time. All right, fifty
cent he is talking about to Rogie p Hinton. Now,
to Rogie was on TI's Expeditiously podcast and she was
talking about fifty pitting empire and power against each other.
Our show had nothing to do with his show. We're
talking two different subject matters, You know what I mean?

(44:08):
And then again, Fifty, do you know what the I
had to do to get here? Why tear down another
black person for competition? I think there are a million
of the shows you could compete with that too, Okay,
So why and to do that publicly? It's embarrassing, all right? Well,
of course fifty got wind of this and made some

(44:29):
comments on social media. He said, I saw to Rogie
on Tay's podcast. This is my sincere apology. I did
not mean to hurt your feelings in any way. I
love your work and I think you are amazing. I'm
sorry no one is watching your show anymore. I realized
I have to work on the fact that I have
less empathy than others. I have met with the top
executives at Fox and sold them the Notorious cop It's
to show that it is replacing yours. But I really

(44:51):
went to work with you. I mean, you're awesome, we
would work well together. But if you don't like the idea,
I understand. If you don't roll with me, you're gonna
get rolled the f overe. They never stopped. He never
turns it off. Notorious copies about the hip hop police,
right Mayno. Mayno had an idea for a crime drama
based around the hip hop police. Sue to Mayno. Congratulations

(45:11):
to fifty again. You know he gets his uh star
of the Hollywood Walker fame and gets a star this Wednesday.
Fifty is so strategic though, because that Taragi Ti podcast
been happening. But he needed to promote Power this week,
and he got to promote the new show coming out
on ABC. That's really all of this. That's that's all
this is about. None of it is personal with fifty,

(45:32):
none of it. Have y'all seen the Have y'all been
watching Power? I just cut out. Yes, I didn't see
yesterday that was the last night's episode because I was
in Atlantic City. But I watched it. I got I'm
watching that when I get That's the first thing I
did when I got off the plane and came home.
Yes on demand all right. Now. There is that documentary
against Russell Simmons, and it actually debuted at the Sundance

(45:53):
Film Festival over the weekend. It's called on the Record.
This is the one that was originally backed by Oprah,
but she did drop out of the film because of
concerns about the credibility of some of the women in
the film. This documentary focuses on rape allegations made by
Drew Dixon, still Lie Abrams and Alexia Norton Jones. Now,

(46:13):
what they are saying in the Hollywood Reporter is that
On the Record got a multiple standing ovations during its premiere,
and over three dozen organizations supported a letter this weekend
backing the victims. There were other people endorsing this, like
Rosanna or Kat Danny Newton and others. Russell Simmons, on
his behalf is denying any wrongdoing with the women, and
he said all of these sexual relationships that he had

(46:35):
were consensual, and that is the information we had. There
was a pre premier discussion around On the Record before
they debuted it, and here is some of what was said.
Drew Dixon was there. Here's what she said. All the
decades were ours to tell because subjected how people love

(47:12):
to me always and they refer and you learn and
they sent for us all right. Now. They also have
a song on there that is performed and written by

(47:35):
Lauren Hill, Miss Lauren Hell, and they said they said
this previously. Chuck was specifically chosen by Miss Hill to
appear in the film. All right, I man, Jela yea,
and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you,
miss Charlemagne. Yo, are you giving that donkey too? I
need Alison more know what her name, Alison Morris of
MSNBC to come to the front of the congregation. We'd
like to have a world with her. Let somebody please

(47:57):
turn the heat up in here. Jesus, it is freezing.
It is freezing. What is the why? Why do we
gotta be cold? All right, we'll get into that next
keeping lock this to Breakfast Club co morning. I was
born to donkey. It's the donkey of the death Charlemagne

(48:20):
devil Breakfast Club yeesh Donkey today from Monday, January twenty
seventh goes to Alison Morris of MSNBC. Now we all
know that yesterday Kobe Bryant had an untimely demise as
he was one of multiple fatalities in a helicopter crash
in Calabash's, California. And Alison Morrison MSNBC was reporting on

(48:41):
this tragic situation and this is what happened. Kind of
star that was perfectly cast on the Los Angeles Niggers
Los Angeles like coma. If I could ask you to
state now. Of course, the back the blacklash was swift
on social media. People were calling for her firing, so
she apologized by sending out the following tweet. She said

(49:02):
earlier today, while reporting on the tragic news of Kobe
Bryant's passing, unfortunately started on air combining the names of
the Knicks and the Lakers to say, Knackers, please know,
I did not and would never use a racist term.
I apologize for the confusion this caused. Uh, and she
put never in um capital letters. She would probably said

(49:23):
that on that, she said, she probably would have said,
please know, I did not and would nigger or use
a racist term. She would have said that on that,
but she tweeted it. Um. She says, she apologized for
the confusion this cause, first of all, Allison, the Knicks
have nothing to do with this, absolutely zero. Okay, those teams,
the Knicks and the Lakers, are on two different coasts.
Kobe never played for the Knicks, Like, there was absolutely

(49:45):
zero reason for the Knicks to be on your mind,
then played each other last night. There was nothing, no reason. Yeah,
I don't, I don't understand it. So that lie you
concocted to cover, uh, cover up. You know, you saying
the N word. That's not gonna fly. Now. At first,
I thought niggers didn't sound nothing like the N word, okay,
But if you're saying fast niggers, kind of nakers, all right,
kind of all right, nigger's rhymes with lakers, takers, bakers, quakers, fakers, shakers, makers.

(50:11):
But though none of those words sound like the word
you use, okay, the word you use sounds like bigger, tigger, trigger,
jigga figger, And it's a word I'm sure some people
would you use to describe an NBA team full of
black people. Now, you know, we have this program called Normalized, right,
it's like hearing things in HD. Last week we put
it on Wendy Williams passing gas. This week we are
putting it on Alison Morris to see if she uh said,

(50:36):
nakers are the actual N words. So let's play Alison
Morris regular first. That's like the kind of star that
was perfectly cast on the Los Angeles Niggers Los Angeles,
like if I could ask you to stay with us. Now,
let's play Alison Morris with the N word normalized. You
can hear an HD like the kind of star that

(50:56):
was perfectly cast on the Los Angeles Los Angeles No
no debate here. Okay. I know people are saying to themselves,
what was she thinking? What was on her mind? Well,
the answer to that is simple, niggas, Okay, we heard
what you We heard what you said, and you know
how it sounded. You know how it sounded to us

(51:17):
at a time like this. This is how it sounded
to us, niggas. Never mind, drop you blew it. It's
you know, it's amazing that a broadcaster at a time
like this could make such a mistake. Okay, in a
moment with people are already dealing with so much hurt,
so much pain. I'm not going to speculate about Alison's

(51:38):
character because I don't know her, never heard of her
until this moment. I just know that some people have
such deep rooted hatred for others that even in a
tragic situation like this, how they really feel about others
comes out. Okay, I'm not saying that's Alison, because I
don't know her. I just know that for a word
to come out of your mouth when reporting on the
situation like this, when for the N word to come

(51:58):
out of your mouth when report on a situation like this,
it's just stupid and dunke. Here today, it's all about
giving people the credit they deserve for being stupid. Please
let Remy mad give Alison Morris the biggest he hall
he haw, he haw. You stupid motherfre you dumb know
what happens to Alison? Guys anything? Huh? I was thinking

(52:20):
about who was it? It was another news reporter that
had a slip of the tongue also, and yeah, he
got fired. Did I trying to remember because we talked
about it up here. I'm trying to remember exactly what
it was. I gotta look this up. Well once again,
Rest in peace to Kobe ended up getting fired. I
remember that absolutely, Rest in Pizaza, Kobe Bryant. I'm gonna

(52:42):
keep saying this all morning because I just think people
need to hear it. It's just another reminder that death
really does not discriminate. Nobody is untouchable, nobody is indestructible,
nobody is a mythical creature who won't ever taste death.
And I know it seems like a tragedy like this
isn't supposed to happen to someone like Kobe, But we
know that's not the case, because death is not discriminate.
But it was a meteorologist that for Martin Luther King's junior.

(53:05):
He said, Martin, Martin Luther Koon king junior, remember that,
remember that a lot here and he ended up getting fired.
He should have got fired for that. Can we can
we talk about death a little bit? Can we open
up the phones and talk about death? Because what you
want to ask? I was thinking about this yesterday, right,
I was thinking about death, and I was thinking about
why it hurts so much. You know, it's the obvious,

(53:25):
like you know, never seeing your loved one again. But
I also believe it's the unexpectedness of death. And I
was wondering if we knew the date of our death
or the date of our loved one's death, would it
make it easier to deal with? Would you want to
know that? Would you want to know the date of
your death? Would you want to know that? I wouldn't

(53:46):
one of them. I wouldn't want to know the date
of my death, my family member's death. I wouldn't want
to know that's something because because it's like you know
that date, you know what's going to happen. I'd rather
just live each life to the fullest, like there is
no tomorrow, enjoy life, not like well I got twenty
more hours, nineteen hours, eighteen Now I don't want to
know mine. But don't you think the unexpectedness of it
is what what makes it hurt so much? Because you

(54:07):
you're thinking about all the things you wish you would
have said to a person the night before, the moments before,
you know what I mean. I just feel like if
she were prepared for it, and if you were prepared
for it, they knew it was coming, it would make
it a little bit easier to deal with. I don't know,
I'm just you know, fleshing around thoughts. Yeah, all right, well,
let's open up the phone lines. Let's talk about it.
Eight hundred five eighty five one o five one. What's

(54:29):
the question? If we knew the date of our death
or the date of our loved ones death, wouldn't make
it easier to deal with? And what you want to know? Okay,
let's let's talk about it. It's the breakfast Club come on,
gone but will never be forgotten, inspiration. It has been
absolutely beautiful. You guys can't believe you guys are always
be the breakfast club Morning everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee,

(54:59):
Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast club. Good morning,
now if you just joined us, we're talking about death
this morning and absolutely and where did this come from? It?
And what's the question, Charlemagne? I mean, well, it came
from you know, just death, you know, like, uh, you know,
we all want to die of old age, you know,
but we don't really have control over that. And I
was just thinking about death and why it hurts so much,

(55:21):
and everybody knows the obvious reason, like you'll never get
to see your loved one again, but I also believe
it's the unexpectedness of death. And I wonder if we
knew the date of our death or the date of
our loved one's death, would it make it easier to
deal with? And would you want to know? It wouldn't
make it easier, But I definitely wouldn't want to know.
I wouldn't want that in the back of my head

(55:41):
knowing that on June three, at this time, one of
my family members or a loved one's gonna die, or
even myself, Like I just would rather let's live life
to the fullest, do what's right, and then when that
when that time happens, it happens. I would never want
to know when when when my last days or family
members last days are Yeah, because I think about all
the time, right, like when things like this happen. You know,

(56:02):
one of the things that drives you crazy is all
of the things you wish you would have said to
a person or all of the things you wish you
would have done with a person. I think that when
you know somebody is is dying, you do those things
and then you so you have a little bit more
fullness to it. But then you try, you drive yourself
crazy trying to to outthink death. You know your date
is June third, I'm not gonna get on the plane

(56:22):
that day, or I'm not gonna drive that day. I'm
gonna stay in the household day button. Yeah. I just
don't want to know what about you, yea, And I
wouldn't want to know in advance. The only thing I
will say is when you have somebody close to you,
or if you're in suffering, like say you have something
that's incurable and you know that you have to prepare
for your death. And I think that's an important thing
to do. But I don't think that we should try

(56:45):
to mess with knowing the exact date. And I also
have taken into consideration having had a lot of people
close pass away, that it is a good thing to
make sure that you have certain things in place, like
you have, you know, life insurance, that you have certain
things planned to make things easier for the people around
you when they have to handle business when you do

(57:07):
pass away. Yeah, absolutely right. Hello? Who was this? Hey?
It's can I take from South Carolina? What's up at?
What up? Brother? What's going on? South? Stop? My boy Shaw?
All rested? Peace? Kobe? Yes. I mean if I if
I couldn't know when my death was coming, um. Well.
I feel like as individuals if we knew, if we
knew when death was going to arrive, I feel like

(57:29):
it would prepare us mentally and put us in a
better place. Um. I feel like as individuals we don't
take life as serious as we should because we don't
know where we're going to leave. I feel like it's
not until death occurs, um that we would like to
embrace life more. And I feel like that should change.
I feel like God promised us life, not time, um.
And so many times, when as individuals get long life

(57:51):
mixed up with a number of years. But I feel
like Kobe and a lot of others that I know
live the food life in a short nothing. You a
long life doesn't necessarily mean a big number. And so
my message to everybody listening to this morning is you
know what I'm saying that bracing levels as much as
you can because you just never know, and when your
term comes, just make sure that somebody has something to
do to save your body. Yeah. I think it's a

(58:12):
difference between a full life and a long life. Some
people live long lives, but they didn't actually live a
full life. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Kobe lived a full
life eight five, eight five one or five one? What's
the question? Charomagne? The question is if we knew the
date of our death, are the date of our loved
ones death? Would it make it easier to deal with?
And would you want to know? All right, call us now,

(58:32):
it's the Breakfast Club. God, Morning morning everybody. It's DJ
Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
If you just joined us, we're asking, what's the question? Shalman,
The question is if we knew the date of our death,
are the date of our loved ones death, would it
make it easier to deal with? And would you want
to know? And the reason I'm asking that question is,
you know of the obvious, you know, mister Kobe Bryant

(58:53):
passing away. But I was just thinking about death and
why it hurts so much, and we all know it's
because we'll never get to see our loved ones again.
But I also believe it's the unexpectedness of death, you
know what I'm saying. So I wonder if we knew
the date of our death, for the date of our
loved ones death, would it make it easier to deal with?
And what you want to know? I don't think it'd
be easier to deal with, But I shoot, I wouldn't
want to know. Man, I'd be sad all the time

(59:14):
if I knew somebody was gonna die, you know, coming
up love that was me out. Maybe you wouldn't know
because think about like like you know, I think about
my man kool Aid, you know, yeah, and you know
Duval Koola knew that he was passing away, and you know,
Duvall had him out there really living his best life,
and it kind of made it easier for all of them.
To deal with once he was gone. You know, Hello,

(59:37):
who's this? Hey? This is Jojoe. Hey, Joe, Joe from Kentucky.
How are you doing this morning? I'm good, all right, Joe, Joe,
Jo Joe. If we knew, if you, if we knew
the date of our death or the date of our
loved ones death, would it make it easier to deal with?
And what you want to know? Um, you know, it
wouldn't make it easier And I wouldn't want to know.
And I think the hardest thing about death is that

(59:58):
you know, there's a void when someone Now they sleep
in the room, you know they have a spot in
your mind of what they're doing. You know, if they
work in the garden, if they lay next to you,
your kids room, the clothes they wear, and when someone dies,
there's a void, and there's an eerie quietness. I don't
know if you'll ever shelt this, but even with celebrities,
there's like a quietness, And the hardest part is filling

(01:00:20):
that quietness. Are getting used to that person not being
there anymore. That's the hardest part. So even if you
knew the time, the day, it wouldn't matter, because they're
still there's still gonna be that void. Hello. Who's this Hi?
My name is Hannatti. Hey, Hannatti, Good morning, Hey, good morning.

(01:00:40):
Um So, I wanted to say that I would not
want to know if a loved one was dying, because
death is already sad, and I feel like we'll just
be sad waiting for that day. I think instead of
um us trying to work on that day, we should
all just prepare ourself and know that, you know, to

(01:01:02):
God we came and to him. You know what's so interesting?
You just made me think about something too. It's like
I wonder, would you allow yourself to really love if
you knew that people, if you knew somebody was dying?
You know what I'm saying, Because like, like, would you
allow yourself to really grow to love somebody if you
knew that they weren't gonna be here? I mean, you
still love somebody, but you put it to put you

(01:01:24):
in like this. You know, if you know your child
was was was passing away at a certain time, that
would ruin your whole existence. Yeah, Like, like if you
know your child was passing away at the end and
it's nothing you could do about it, and there's nothing
you could do about it. Yeah, I couldn't live, I
couldn't go to work, I couldn't do anything because I
would want to spend every last moment with that child.
I would be no good to the world. I would
be no good to society. We should be living like

(01:01:46):
that now anyway though, right, no good to society now.
Wanting to spend every day with your child. Absolutely, And
I hit my kids. I just told myself, right now,
I love you, have a great day. Like I don't
think knowing that this was about to happen would have
made it any easier for any of the people who
just lost their family members. Maybe we should be living
our life like we're gonna die tomorrow, you know what
I'm saying. Maybe you should be. Maybe you should be

(01:02:07):
living like today could be your last day. Well, I
mean we kind of do. I mean I know for myself,
I kind of do. I kind of make sure that
every time and that, you know, if there's a problem,
I try to squash it immediately. I told my kids
and everybody how I feel. I work hard so to
make sure that if I do go early, that they
are taking care of and they don't have to worry
about things and their education is taken care of. And

(01:02:29):
that's why I go so hard in the real estate.
So we kind of do, Yeah, we kind of do.
Let's tomorrow of the story, if there is a more,
the more of the story. For me, man, I just
want to die of old age. I want to die
of old age some people because I want to be
here for my girls. I want to be here for
my wife. You know you look at don't want to
see their kids. Yeah, man, I just want to see
them happy and live out what they want to do,
what they're destined to do. Yeah, Kobe won't get that opportunity,

(01:02:51):
and Nipsy won't get that opportunity. A lot of people,
the rest of people in that plane won't get that opportunity.
A lot of people in the world won't get that opportunity.
And and and the crazy part is none of us
to decide if we're going to we are going to
have that opportunity, because you can get to choose when
you go. So as much as we want to die
of old age, we don't have any saying that whatsoever,
because death does not discriminate. We got rumors on the

(01:03:11):
way he has to talk about Gabrielle Union Universus, Terry Crews.
They're talking about America's Got Talent and what she has
to say contradicts what he has to say. All right,
we'll get into that next. Keeping locked this to Breakfast Club.
Good morning, the Breakfast Club, Good morning. Everybody is CJ Mvy,
Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Terry Crews filling

(01:03:37):
the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee
on the Breakfast Club. Well, you guys were called Gabrielle
Union discussing the toxic environment at America's Got Talent. She
had a very controversial I don't know what. I don't
know if she was fired or they just didn't renew
her contract, and a lot of people did speak up

(01:03:58):
in support of her with sexism, racism, racist jokes, sexist comments. Well,
Terry Crews was on the Today Show and he actually
addressed what Gabrielle Union said it America's Got Talent. First
of all, I can't speak for sexism because I'm not
a woman, But I can't speak on behalf of any
racism comments. That was never my experience on America's got talent.

(01:04:22):
In fact, it was the most diverse place I have
ever been in my twenty years of entertainment. When you
look at what the allegations are about. It was given
by an unnamed source. My thing is, you know, it's
funny because I believe you should listen to women. You
should always believe women. So I asked my wife. My
wife said, well, if she hasn't made a statement, why
would you, And I said, you know what, I'm gonna

(01:04:43):
listen to her. So why are you making a statement now?
Because you just made a statement that a statement, you
should continue to listen to your wife, mister Cruse, because
I wonder how Terry Crews would have felt if someone
would have attempted to discredit you know what he said
when he said that agent allegedly grabbed him by his testicles,
and a lot of people were not very positive in
supporting him when that happened. So he should know how

(01:05:04):
that feels now. Gabriel Union tweeted out thank you because
somebody said they were talking about throwing you under the bus.
Somebody said nothing but love and support for you. Gabrielle Union.
We see you and appreciate you. Keep standing in your truth.
Gabrielle Union responded, thank you, because girl, truthtelling, wanting change
and having multiple witnesses who bravely came forward to let
everyone know I didn't lie or exaggerate really exposes those

(01:05:25):
who enthusiastically will throw you under the bus forgetting quickly
who stepped up for their truth. She said, why anyone
would gleefully get up on TV and tell lies that
no one disputed but we already know. Can someone please
ask about what happens to all that diversity folks are
talking about behind the scenes like legit, where that hell
is all that diversity and the production though homing and

(01:05:48):
the decision making ranks who control the fate of the
diversity in front of the camera. So she was letting
him have it on social media because he didn't have
to discredit her the way that he did, and speaking
about his experience the Mother Stories, listen to your goddamn wife. Okay,
your wife told you to shut the hell up for
a reason. You should have kept shutting the hell up. Perry,
All right, now, let's talk about Tyler the creator and

(01:06:09):
the Grammys. He had a very interesting and very two
statement and a lot of people are speaking out about
this now. He won for Best to Rap Album, and
after the Grammys here's what he said. On one side,
I'm very grateful that what I made could just be
acknowledged in the world like this. But also it sucks
that whenever we and I mean guys that look like me,

(01:06:31):
do anything that genre bending, they always put it in
a rapper urban category. And I don't like that urban word.
It's just a politically correct way to say the N
word to me. So when I hear that, I'm just like,
why can't we just be in pop? I felt like
half of me feels like the rap nomination was a
backhanded compliment, like my little cousin wants to play the game,

(01:06:52):
Let's give him the unplugged controllers so he could shut
up and feel good about it. I agree with him
about the word urban. I hate that word sucks because
urban is like a biographical name, so what does that
have to do with music. So yes, using the word
urban is a politically correct way to say black. But
I do agree when they can't define musically what a
black artist is doing, they put him in the hip
hop rap category. But I don't want him to look

(01:07:13):
down upon the hip hop rap category. It feels like
that he's not He's more than just a rapper, he's
more artist. Yeah, even when he says he wants to
be in the pop category, the word pop is just
short for popular. Like the most popular genre of music
is hip hop, So any of these categories dominated by
hip hop black music could be pop. I just sound
it just sounds like he's looking down upon rap, like

(01:07:36):
just don't look. Don't look at me. It's just a rapper,
Like what's wrong with being a rapper? Well, Diddy had
some things to say also now he had an acceptance
speech for getting an Industry Icon Award at Clive Davis's
pre pre Grammy gall at the Beverly Hilton, and here's
what he had to say about the Grammys and black music.
And we are artists, and we are sensitive about how

(01:08:00):
we are passionate, but most of us, this is all
we got. This is our only hope. Truth be told.
Hip hop has never been respected by the Grammys. And
it's not just going on in music, it's going on
the film, it's going to sports, is going on around
the world. And for years we've allowed institutions that have
never had our best interests at hard to judge us

(01:08:20):
and that stops right now. All right, he gave a
fifteen minute speech, so we had a lot of things
to get off his chest. Also at this pre Grammy's party,
What now, I just somebody needs to a yeah, because
somebody needs to ask to how the creator, like, what's
wrong with musically being just a rapper? Like Nales is
just a rapper, Hove is just a rapper. Plenty of

(01:08:44):
great artists are just rapping. They specialize in the genre
of hip hop. So I don't understand he's like, have
you heard this out there? Don't look at me? Yeah,
I mean, it's it's more, it's more, it's it's more
r and bish. But that's my point is, don't look
down upon people who who you think are just rappers.
There's nothing wrong with being a rapper. He plays instruments,

(01:09:05):
he's a musician. I guess he looks at it more
than it feels like he should be more broader than
just in the rapper category. That's what I guess. I
don't know, we have to ask, well, just say I'm more.
I'm a musical artist. So I don't know. It just
sounds like he's looking down upon rap. I don't like
that all right. Now, since we're talking about pop artist,
let's talk about Selena Gomez. She just did an interview
with MPR and she spoke on Justin Bieber. I know

(01:09:26):
she's tired of talking about that, but the interviewer did
bring up his name, and she said she talks about
emotional abuse, and basically she talks about her single Lose
You to Love Me, which is about Justin Bieber. She says,
I felt I didn't get a respectful closure, and I
had accepted that, but I know I needed some way
to just say a few things that I wish I
had said. It was very difficult and I'm happy it's over.

(01:09:48):
And the interviewer asked, you mean Justin Bieber, and because
she said, I do feel like I was a victim
to a certain abuse, and the interviewer says, you mean
emotional abuse and Selena Gomez response, yes, And I think
that something that I had to find a way to
understand it as an adult. Here is Selena Gomez on MPR.
It's dangerous to stay and I'm a victim mentality, and

(01:10:09):
I'm not being disrespectful. I do feel I was a
victim just certain abuse and I an emotional abuse, yes,
and I think that it's something that I had to
find a way to understand it as an adult, and
I had to understand the choices I was making. As
much as I definitely don't want to spend the rest

(01:10:30):
of my life talking about this, I am really proud
that I can say I feel the strongest I've ever felt.
All Right, Well, good for her, she said she has
found a way to walk through it with as much
grace as possible. All Right, I'm and de la yee,
And that is your rumor report. All right, Revolt, we'll
see tomorrow. Everybody else to People's Choice mixes up next,
Let's go morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlemagne

(01:10:55):
the Gay. We are to Breakfast club. Shout to everybody
again who I ran into in LA and also our
landoors out there for Pro Bowl. So I just want
to shout to all those people. Yeah, I know you
was out in a LA as well. Yes, I was.
Had a lot of activities before the Grammys, and then
I left the morning of the Grammys to get back
here and shout the PEPSI too. Yes, you know what. Actually,

(01:11:17):
one thing I did see and By the way, her
had an amazing jam session party before the Grammy's also
out there that everybody was excited about. But what I
do love is to see Missy Elliott and her. They've
actually teamed up. They're doing this super Bowl commercial. Did
you see those ads? Yes, for zero Sugar. Yeah, so
they have all new like cans and everything. It's like
a Matt Black and they're actually redoing the rolling stones

(01:11:41):
painted black for that new Pepsi zero Sugar can. So
it's a new concept. And they actually did the teasers
during the Grammy Awards that were on last night, so
they said the commercials thirty seconds long, so there's gonna
be a new track and you get to see her
kind of previewing pieces of it and Missy as well.
So I'm excited to see that because those are two
artists who I absolutely love. And Pepsy's always teamed up

(01:12:02):
with people like Michael Jackson, Beyonce, really big stars like that.
So now it's Missy Elliott and hers. Oh did you
see the gift we got? Also gift they sent a
record player and it has the full sixty second version
of Missy Elliott and HER's rendition of Painted Black so
we walked in this morning, and you know, I haven't
been here since Wednesday, so you know I like when
I get a gift, So that was an amazing present

(01:12:23):
for us to get. All Well, let's play the track man. Yes,

(01:12:44):
I don't call black black, only show me I see
and nine black. I'm in my own I do my

(01:13:09):
own thing, got my own frame. Whatever makes you have
to go ahead? Get down and nine and place and black,

friends at PEPSI don't move. We got the positive note. Next,
it's the breakfast club. Go Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ

(01:13:33):
Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Now, Charlomagne,
you got a positive note, yes man. Rest in peace
to Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gig everybody else that
was on that helicopter. It's just another reminder that death
really doesn't discriminate. Nobody's untouchable, nobody is indiscruptible, nobody's a
mythical creature who won't ever takes death. And I know
it seems like a tragedy like this isn't supposed to
happen to someone like Kobe, but we know that's never

(01:13:55):
the case because death does not discriminate. You know, if
you're a man with kids of a woman with kids,
it's impossible not to think about yourself in this situation.
You know that could have been any of us, and
it's just a harsh reminded that death doesn't discriminate. We
all want to die of old age, but guess what,
we don't have the choice to choose and if that
happens or not, so rest in peace, Kobe Bryant Breakfast

(01:14:17):
Club finishing, y'all dunk
