Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Incident Recap (03:23–05:40)

• Charles Leggett, 39, is identified as the shooter, now in jail for first-degree reckless homicide.
• The incident occurred in Milwaukee at Action Food and Liquor on King Drive and Keith Avenue.
• Leggett was upset that the clerk preparing his pizza wasn't wearing gloves; after a heated argument, he shot and killed the worker, Jamil Alwis.
• News report audio played: “He went there and my brother, he's tried to stand to talk to him and shot him in the chest.” (05:02, News Reporter)

2. Charlamagne’s Commentary on “Human Models” (03:23–05:40)

• Charlamagne jokes about generational differences, linking the suspect’s age to “bad manufacturing batches” post-1985:

  “...after about ’83, ’84, definitely ’85, the universe just started making any old body. ... God got busy ... so God regulated some duties and the manufacturing of humans changed drastically.” (04:00, Charlamagne)

3. Absurdity of the Motive (05:40–06:35)

• Strong condemnation of the act, stating no type of pizza is “worth killing over.”
• Mentions famous chains—Papa John’s, Domino’s, Pizza Hut—as not worth such extremes:

  “There is not a pizza alive worth killing over, okay? Not Papa John's, Domino's, Pizza Hut, Blaze Pizza.” (05:40, Charlamagne)

4. Hygiene Practices in Food Service (06:00–06:50)

• Charlamagne muses about gloves vs. handwashing in food prep, inviting audience feedback but firmly drawing the line at violence:

  “...even though I've seen people making food with no gloves on and I may not like it, you know what I never thought about doing to that individual? Killing them.” (06:35, Charlamagne)

5. Generational Reflection and the Need for Common Sense (06:50–08:05)

• Notes that older generations were built with “common sense,” suggesting an absence in some younger individuals.
• Links the shooting to poor impulse control and unhealed trauma, rather than the pizza itself:

  “This wasn't about pizza. This was about trauma. And when you don't deal with your trauma, you bleed on people who didn't even cut you.” (08:05, Charlamagne)

6. Commentary on Consequences, Violence, and Healing (08:05–08:52)

• Highlights how one moment's decision destroys two lives: the victim’s and the perpetrator’s.

  (08:52, Remy Ma: "Hee haw. Hee haw.")

  “How you gonna feel in prison when the person sodomizing you from the back isn’t wearing a condom?..that man gonna be touching your cheeks with no gloves.” (07:30, Charlamagne) “Real men don't shoot to prove they hard. They walk away because they don't want to end up in prison with a man with a hard penis.” (09:38, Charlamagne)

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tell them it's time for Donkey of the Day. It's a read. But you're so good at it, you're trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne. There's only one Charlemagne, damn charlemag. Who you give a Dunkey of the day to now. Well, sexy red donkey, Today for Tuesday, November 4th, election day goes to a 39 year old Milwaukee man named Charles Legette. I'm not even joking. Sometimes I read stories and I say to myself, what world do I not live in? Okay? Because sometimes I feel like an extraterrestrial looking at a version of Earth that I don't live in. Okay, see, I'm fully aware that crazy is as crazy dust and crazy is all around us. But sometimes I read certain stories and I think to myself, what model human is this? Okay, see, Charles is 39 years old, so he was born in 1986. And I have a theory that after about 83, 84, definitely 85, the universe just started making any old body. Okay, I didn't say God. All right? What I think happened was God got busy. It's a lot going on in all these various universes and afterlives. So God regulated some duties and the manufacturing of humans changed drastically. Okay? Same ingredients, different recipes. And Charles Leggett is yet another example of boy, they just don't make Homo sapiens like they used to. Okay, see, Charles is in jail for first degree reckless homicide in possession of a firearm by a felon. I know one of you bad recipes is out there thinking, what's wrong with first degree reckless homicide? It's always been a reason to kill somebody. By the way, if you believe that, you should be arrested right now. Now, what is Charles in jail for? Let's go to Fox 6 News Milwaukee for the report, please. He went there and my brother, he's tried to stand to talk to him and shot him in the chest.

[News Reporter]

Muhammad Alwis says his 26 year old brother Jamil always got shot during an argument over a pizza Order at this convenience store on Martin Luther King Drive Saturday. Prosecutors say 38 year old Charles Leggett told them he ordered a pizza but was upset that a worker was not wearing gloves. While preparing the pizza. Leggett told investigators he and always got into an argument. He also confirmed that it was him. In the surveillance video of the shooting. Leggett is charged with first degree reckless homicide for the use of a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm by outstate felon shot and killed him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All because the person who made his pizza wasn't wearing gloves. Okay? There is not a pizza alive worth killing over, okay? Not Papa John's, Domino's, Pizza Hut, Blaze Pizza. Now I might curse you out over cuts and slices in New York City. Drop on a clues bomb for cuts and slices. Okay? That's some pizza worth. Maybe a verbal altercation, okay? If you got into a fist fight over cuts and slices, I might understand. But Milwaukee, this man killed someone over a pizza being made at Action Food and Liquor near King Drive and Keith Avenue. Okay? Salute to everyone who listens to us on B107 in Milwaukee. Does that pizza slap like that? Okay, like what? What the hell is going on? It has to be in order for Charles to get so triggered right now, I'm going to be honest with you. This is one of the reasons I don't like to eat out. I've noticed this that folks don't be using gloves. And I feel like, I remember reading that some of them feel like it's more unsanitary to wear gloves because with gloves you're touching everything. So you're actually getting a lot more germs on the gloves. But when you don't wear gloves, you're constantly washing your hands before you touch things. And since you're constantly washing your hands, that's considered more sanitary. People who do that line of work for a living, feel free to call me and let me know if I got that right. 1-800-585-1051 now, even though I've seen people making food with no gloves on and I may not like it, you know what I never thought about doing to that individual? Killing them. All right? My brain just does not work that way. Some things you really have to go out of your way to do, I would think, okay, but I was born in 1978, so I'm an old model, all right? The model I am came with some common sense, the ability to reason, the ability to make choices. Now, did we always make the right choices? No. And I've Seen people killed for some stupid things. But killing someone because they weren't wearing gloves while making your pizza is a new level of stupid. Okay, Charles, if you upset that the person making your pizza wasn't wearing gloves, how you gonna feel in prison when the person sodomizing you from the back isn't wearing a condom? And you're not gonna have no pistol to protect yourself? That man gonna be touching your cheeks with no gloves. And it's gonna be in that moment that you realized you made the wrong decision. Okay? Let me tell you something. We keep saying we gotta stop killing each other, but then you see a story like this where someone loses their life over some pizza. Every single time you pull a trigger over some foolishness. You're not just ending one life, you're ending two. The victims in your own. Some of y' all out here turning minor disagreements into major crimes like it's a sport, okay? You can't control your temper. You can't control your ego or your impulses. Permanent decisions becoming, you know. No. Temporary feelings becoming permanent decisions. Okay, no, what am I saying? Permanent decisions over temporary feelings. Yes, that's what I'm trying to say. Okay? This is why I be stressing going to therapy. This is why I be stressing folks, especially men, to heal what's hurting them, because they end up projecting that pain onto others. This wasn't about pizza. This was about trauma. And when you don't deal with your trauma, you bleed on people who didn't even cut you. It's. It's so much in this story. Gun violence, mental health issues. I will just end like this. Real men don't shoot to prove a point. You walk away to preserve one. Please let Remy Ma give Charles Leggett the biggest Hee haw.

[Norah Jones]

Hee haw. Hee haw.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You stupid motherfucker. Are you dumb? And Charles has been found guilty in a court of law, by the way. Okay? He was found guilty over that argument over pizza. And he sent us to be.
