[DJ Envy]

Jesus.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I jumped in the car this morning and the car said 2 degrees. It was 2 degrees outside. Now, I know that Breakfast Club is broadcasting 100 plus markets throughout the country, and I know that it's snow down south.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's cold everywhere right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know it might be cold where y'all at, but, boy, here in New York City, that's right here in New Jersey, you know, the Black Mothership. That's what we call this studio. This is where we broadcast from New York City. Two. It said two degrees.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's brick.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right. Jesus.

[DJ Envy]

I was gonna say it made me miss la, but it's a lot going on over there right now, too.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, well, see, either or you could deal with the fires and the smoke or deal with this coldness.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, at some point, people just gotta embrace that climate change is real. I know that, you know, a lot of conservatives are climate change deniers, but there's no reason to be because clearly something is off.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Snowing in New Orleans.

[Jess Hilarious]

Snowing in New Orleans. Snowing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Snowing in Texas. Parts of Florida. Parts of Florida. Yes. I saw that yesterday. That didn't even look real. I was watching the news last night and I'm like, it's snowing in Florida.

[DJ Envy]

I saw them putting down the Cajun seasoning instead of the salt in New Orleans. I said, oh, it's real.

[Jess Hilarious]

For real.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, people. Yo, New Orleans. That's cuz y'all not on Tik Tok. That's not true. That's cuz y'all not on Tik Tok. New Orleans snow. Tik Tok, it's undefeated. They was putting the Cajun seasoning out. They was on Bourbon street having a good time. They had the bottles in the ice. I'll show y'all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, they the Cajun season. And that's just performative for Tik Tok. I don't. That actually work? Does that actually work? New Orleans? Somebody from New Orleans, call us up right now. Somebody that listens to us on Q93 in New Orleans, call us up. I don't. I've never heard that.

[Jess Hilarious]

It could be. And the reason I say that, you know, salt trucks, they got Cajuns, they don't have salt. Like, even in some markets, they don't have salt trucks. So they throw sand on the floor because they don't have salt, because they're not used to this. So, yeah, they don't have sand. And they don't have salt.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but down south, everything shuts down. If it's an inch of snow, everything just shuts down. People stay home, grocery stores get empty, and everybody just stays home. Until this past.

[DJ Envy]

Find this Tic Tac for y'all.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, yeah, well, maybe they just use mad Lowries, Mad Lowry season all over the place.

[DJ Envy]

It was Zazaran.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, Zazaran.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Look, let me see the Cajun season.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not saying that a person is not online doing it. I'm just saying I think that's performative, Cap.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, yeah, that is. Yeah, that's definitely performative. Yeah. No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. I just don't believe it.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, not at all. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Anita Kopax will be joining us this morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, Anita Kopax is a fantastic author. She is on my book imprint, Black Privilege Publishing with Simon and Schuster. Her first book was called Shallow Waters. She just put out the sequel to to that book, Wind on Her Tongue. She has a series called the Daughter of Three Waters trilogy. And book number two came out yesterday. It is called the Wind on Her Tongue. And Anita will be here to talk to us about it today. And tonight we're going to be at Brooklyn at Greenlight Bookstore at 7:30pm Having a conversation about the wind on our tongue. But we'll be here on the Breakfast Club discussing it this morning.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news. President Trump is President Trump. And we'll tell you all about it. He's trumpin. Trumpin'but. We'll tell you when we come back, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ jnv, Jess, Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. And let's get in some front page news. Morning, Morgan.

[Morgan]

Good morning, Envy, Charlemagne and Lauren, y'all doing good.

[DJ Envy]

How's the weather by you?

[Morgan]

Oh, my God, it's freezing cold. We don't have too much of the wintry mix just yet, but we are dealing with some bone chilling cold here in the dmv. Okay, but speaking of cold, it's cold world out here. Let's just go ahead and get right into it. President Trump, he is defending his stance to part in the January Sixers. He made the comments yesterday during his first press conference as president. Let's just jump right into it and hear more from President Trump.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

These people have already served years in prison and. And they've served him viciously. It's a disgusting prison. It's been horrible. It's inhumane. It's been a terrible, terrible thing. I also say this. You go to Portland, where they did, where they wrapped police officers, shot police officers. Nothing happened to anybody. You go to Seattle, where they took over a big chunk of the city and people died. Portland, a lot of people died. Wait a minute. And you go also take a look at Minneapolis, because I was there and I watched it.

[Jess Hilarious]

And if I didn't bring in the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

National Guard, that city wouldn't even exist today.

[Jess Hilarious]

People were killed and nobody went to jail.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So these people have already served a long period of time. And I made a decision to give a pardon. Trump should have just said, look, you got to get your goons out when they put in work for you, okay? When your goons put in work for you and they get jammed up, you got to go get them out.

[Morgan]

So the family of a police officer who died that day, Brian Sicknick, they called this pardon an undoing of justice. The largest police union, the same police union, the Fraternal Order of Police, released a joint statement saying it's deeply discouraged by the pardon. This is the same police union that actually endorsed Trump to become president. Excuse me. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, he slammed the president's move, calling it un American. And two Republican senators, Alaska's Lisa Murkowski and Louisiana lawmaker Bill Cassidy, they both said they're disappointed and it's not right. So, but, you know, you knew he.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They all knew he was going to do this. Like, like Trump told America this, what he was going to do on day one. And he kept his promise to his base, you know, immediately. He said he was going to do it and he did it.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody should be surprised by any of that.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's why I'm surprised, because he said it from the beginning. Never, he never said, well, I'm not gonna do it, or maybe I'm gonna do it.

[DJ Envy]

Are you surprised people? Surprised?

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm surprised people are surprised. It's not like Joe Biden says, I'm gonna let the court handle my son. And then, you know, he switch around, he said from the door, oh, I'm gonna let my people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said, day one, unpardon him. I guess maybe they thought he was bluff.

[Morgan]

They are who we thought they were. Let them off the hook. All right? Trump also announced a private sector investment in worth billions of dollars to build AI infrastructure in the U.S. tech companies Oracle, OpenAI and SoftBank are creating a joint venture titled Stargate SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, AIs Sam Altman and Oracle's Larry Ellison all spoke at the White House to announce the AI infrastructure and will it will contribute $100 billion to investments to start. The plan is to pump up to $500 billion into, into it over the next couple of years. Let's hear more from Trump on his AI infrastructure plan.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But to announce the largest AI infrastructure project by far in history and it's all taking place right here in America. Together, these world leading technology giants are announcing the formation of Stargate, a new American company that will invest $500 billion at least in AI infrastructure in the United States.

[Morgan]

Yeah, so Trump said Stargate will be building the physical and virtual infrastructure to power the next generation of AI. Ellison added that the group's first data project, which is 1 million square feet under construction in Texas. Now speaking of Internet type things, Trump says he's okay with TikTok being sold to Elon Musk or Larry Ellison. He made that those comments in that same press conference saying that Trump would be on board and he liked Ellison and a chairman of the tech company Oracle to buy it too. Now TikTok is currently in a state of limbo in the US after, after the Supreme Court held a law banning it and of course the app went dark for about 15, 16 hours over the weekend. Trump has signed an executive order pushing off the ban for about 90 days. But the Chinese company ByteDance still has yet to sell the app or you know, basically get in good standing for it to operate legally in the U.S. switching gears, the executive orders do continue and this one is for my people in the DMV because I know it's a lot of federal employees out here. The federal employees and DEI diversity, equity, inclusion roles have been placed on leave. This comes as Trump has signed an executive order directing the ending of federal DEI programs, which offices are being ordered to shut down. Now the White House press secretary Carolyn Levitt called the move a win for Americans, calling DEI programs a scourge on society.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, not surprised by that either. He said, he said this is what he was going to do and he did it day one. He's keeping all his promises. If you voted for Trump, you heard him say he was going, you know, get rid of DEI and things of that nature. So you said he was going to do all these things and if that's what you voted for, you're a happy voter today.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know what to tell you yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

One more thing that just seems to be, like, really impacting people I don't know if they're aware of is an executive order, and he is rescinding a Biden era executive order that researched how to lower prescription medical costs.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Biden's order asked to Health asked the Health and Human Services secretary to explore new health care payment and delivery methods that would lower drug costs to promote access to innovative drug therapies. Well, Trump got rid of that directive on day one as well during his presidency, along with other orders in place that he deemed unpopular, inflationary, illegal, and radical. So you guys want to keep an eye on your drug, cross your prescription drug costs now and rack up maybe if you can. I'm not sure, but I will keep you posted.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. If you more about it. If you voted for him because the groceries are too high, then you are not happy about that in any way, shape or form because you know it's all about keeping, keeping money in American people's pockets. That's what people said they voted for. They voted for the economy. Right. They voted because they wanted to have more money in their pockets. And you definitely not happy about that.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah, we never. I don't, I, I'm still reading through the executive orders because it's a lot, but I don't see groceries on the list. I'm just saying.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, well, that is front page news. We'll see you next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Time to get it off your chest. Wait. Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed, it's time to get up and get something. Call up now.

[Jess Hilarious]

800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello? Who's this?

It's a skirt from the 229.

[Jess Hilarious]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What the hell is the 229? Yeah, I'm calling for Charlemagne. And get Snoop Dogg. Don't get a day for singing inauguration. Him and Nelly. I'm not doing that. What's the 229? 229, South Georgia, not austerity. Okay, okay. Got you.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's all you got? That's all I got. Yes, sir. Yeah, I'm not doing that because I think it's ridiculous that people got more smoke for Snoop Dogg. And Nelly than they do for elected officials who told us that Donald Trump was a threat to democracy, a fascist. They likened them to Hitler. But then, you know, Barack Obama's at President Carter's funeral, showing all his teeth with him. You know, President Biden's welcome back to the White House, having tea with him after pardoning his whole family because he's such a threat and such a danger. But, you know, only one I got love for is Michelle. Shout out to Michelle. Michelle kept that same energy. Oh, yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hello? Who's this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning. It's James going from North Carolina.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hey, James, come on, get it off your chest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, man, Last week, man, my sister told me something that I couldn't believe. She said that this guy was doing an interview and said that Michael. He saw Michael Jackson beat up Tupac once.

[Jess Hilarious]

Jesus Christ.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I saw that online. You did? I mean, I ain't seen Michael Jackson. I saw the guy having that conversation. Yeah, Yeah. I was like, this dude is bugging, yo. Yeah, I heard that's Cap. A lot of people, you know, from Michael Jackson and Tupac team said that is cap complete. Cap Cyber.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I couldn't believe it, yo. I can't even imagine that, man. I was like, I don't even think Tupac even knew Michael Jackson. Nah, I'm sure they knew each other.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm not sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I'm sure they knew of. Of course they did. Tupac and Michael Jackson.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. I mean, they were around the same era, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tupac did movies with his sister. Of course they knew each other. He did a movie with Janet. Yeah, but, I mean, as far as I know, him and Janet was even that type. Michael Jackson did songs with Biggie. I'm sure that him and Tupac ran into each other, you know, before. Well, again, you know, Michael Jackson was a Crip.

[Jess Hilarious]

Was he?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y'all ain't know that?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, I know he did the video when he was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think, man, we knew what Trump was gonna do when he first got in office. He said that during his first run Then he said it during Biden and now he's doing it now. So I don't know why everybody acting confused. Me neither. So I say you be getting. We need to get our. Together. I'm sorry, the next two years for the midterm elections. We need to figure out who we gonna put our support behind, and that's it. And hold them accountable. I'm telling you right now. You're right, But I have no faith in Democrats to do that. Now, there's a couple of Democratic candidates that I like for, you know, 2028, but the Democratic Party as a whole, they need to do a whole autopsy and they need to do a whole remix. Right?

Like, I'll be outside with a lot of people we know, special, you know, special. You know, a couple people I've been around busting different situations to see me say, what up? You know, what they want situations. And I see him when I'm 9 of situations, and I see him, he acts as if, you know, he tries to act like, for instance, I had my two sisters with me on Halloween. They just wanted a picture. He comes outside and tried to. I said, what up, Buster? How you doing regularly, you know, he tries to shush me. Like, bro, I'm a grown man. Who's you shushing?

He was acting different then. None of his wounds was ready to pop. But you ain't. But you ain't say nothing, though. You. You was quiet. You sh.

[Morgan]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You. You hushed. You did when he told you.

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, if we have more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If we have more time, I'll put you on three way with some people who could tell the story different. But did you shh when he told you. This is what I want to know now. I took my Halloween costume off, and I let him know who I was.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's different, yo, if you got a private bus, why don't you just call special? If you know special, just squatch it. I was special, brother.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, I want to let the Breakfast Club know Busters out of line. Then I'm mad at you for giving away the most spot movie envy, you know what I'm saying? That was fouled.

[Jess Hilarious]

The movie was out for weeks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I still enjoyed. Nah, bro. That was foul, bro. I went to go see also, but on a serious note, that. That the.

[Jess Hilarious]

The.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The. The last thing people like. We all regular people. You know what I'm saying? NBU from my neighborhood. So what I'm trying to Explain to you, like, when y'all see people outside that. That appreciate y'all and the things y'all do, and you know, some people, some people might meet y'all and be ecstatic. You know what I'm saying? You got to show those people love. You can't. You can't act like people are beneath you. You understand?

[DJ Envy]

I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charlemagne. You get that? I agree. 100. But guess what? Busters out of line for that, bro. Regardless, bus is out of line. And if we was in person, you wouldn't be doing that. Have a good day.

[DJ Envy]

Charlamagne, can I get a drop?

[Jess Hilarious]

You gotta love New York, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, he is triggered by that. He right though. A grown man. Tayish, you better be telling me to be quiet because we in danger.

[Jess Hilarious]

You gotta love New York. How he get that mad? And they'd be like, you're most mad about the Mufasa movie too. I'm like, jesus Christ. But get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. We got just with the mess coming up.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. So Chris Brown just dropped a $500 million lawsuit. He is tired of people trying to defame his name. And we're gonna talk about it.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, we'll get to that. Next is the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Breakfast Club.

[Jess Hilarious]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne. The guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the Mess with Lauren LaRosa. News is real, whether it's Jessica.

[Morgan]

Hilarious Jessica Robin Moore.

[Jess Hilarious]

Jess don't do no lying.

[DJ Envy]

She don't spare nobody worldwide.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jess Worldwide mess on the Breakfast Club. She's a coaching shoe with Lauren. Lauren LaRosa.

[DJ Envy]

I'm back and I got the mess.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk to me.

[DJ Envy]

All right, y'all. So Chris Brown is over. He's tired of people coming for him about things that are not true. According to him, he actually just dropped a 500 million dollar lawsuit. The lawsuit is because of a docu series that ID did, called Chris Brown A History of Violence. So Chris Brown is saying this docu series that y'all put out is a bunch. Is full of a bunch of lies. He's accusing Warner Brothers Discovery, ample and a couple other individuals who are behind the scenes or behind the series of promoting and publishing defamatory claims against him. Now, he says that this happened after he reached out and they were provided proof that the narrative that they were going to go with in his docu. This docu series, according to him, was completely false. Chris Brown is saying that the Jane Doe, who is like the center of this docu series has been discredited several times and that he's actually never been found guilty of any sex related crime. But he believes, and he feels like this docuseries paint paints him as a serial rapist and a sexual abuser, even though he's never been found guilty of anything in relation to those two things. He says that the doc was based on a lawsuit that Jane Doe filed that she later withdrew. Withdrew because according to him, the lawsuit was full of lies. Now this is something that happened back in 2022. There was a woman on a boat who accused him of some things and then it was withdrawn. Her lawyer backed away and he says, Look, I've spent 10 years plus trying to rebuild my reputation and this doesn't help. He says that, you know, he acknowledges in the doc that there are past things, right, like he's taking accountability for things like physical assault of Rihanna. But he says that this documentary is pushing an old narrative that isn't supported by anything that is factual. And because of this, he has been impacted both his reputation, his career and his business opportunities. So he wants his 500 million. And if he's awarded the 500 million, he plans to donate part of this money to victims of sexual abuse.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That right there is a fantastic lawsuit because folks been playing with Chris Brown name for years and the network is big, as was Discovery id. Right.

[DJ Envy]

Discovery id. Warner Brothers is mentioned and a few other places as well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They decided to jump out there and do a whole documentary for TV based on accusations and allegations that haven't been proven anywhere. See, a lot of times these allegations and accusations are made on social media or they're sent on YouTube. There's nothing to gain by suing those bottom feeders. But when you can sue all those big companies and corporations, oh, it's worth it.

[Jess Hilarious]

And I love it because I think it sets a precedent. Because if you notice now everybody's doing a documentary, right? Everybody's doing a documentary based off of anything that they see on social media. So the fact that he does that, now anybody that's thinking about doing a documentary about a celebrity that's somebody that has some money that can possibly sue, you got to think twice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. In the same way, I feel like you shouldn't be able to press charges, you know, and remain anonymous at the Jane Doe. Why would you create a whole documentary for TV based on the allegations of a Jane Doe?

[Jess Hilarious]

Makes no sense.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That doesn't make any sense to me. And we know nobody cares about the truth and the lies more entertaining. But you have to care about the truth when you are a multi million dollar corporation.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. And to correct. I said 2022. This was back in 2020. But most of the time I will say that these documentaries, if they do them correctly, they base them on like court docs and stuff like that. But you are supposed to follow up and say this was not. We found that this was not correct. This was withdrawn. Like you have to clarify that. So we'll see how this plays out. Now in other court news, ASAP Rocky. We talked yesterday about ASAP Rocky. The trial started for the alleged situation with him and ASAP Bradley. So ASAP Rocky went to court yesterday. He was in court yesterday in la and this was just basically for him to plead guilty, not guilty. They also presented him with a, with a deal and they offered him. He rejected the deal, but they offered him. In exchange for him pleading guilty to one assault charge, he would only have to serve 180 days in county jail, three years of probation and a seven year suspended prison sentence wins. And ASAP Rocky said, nope, not, not happening. I'm gonna take this.

[Jess Hilarious]

He must know, he must know he gonna win that case because I mean, if there was actual footage, because I've seen it. Didn't they say there was footage or something like that?

[DJ Envy]

There is video. The one, the video that I saw though is there's a lot of like shoving back and forth. You can't really make out a lot, but I don't know, there is video.

[Jess Hilarious]

There's.

[DJ Envy]

There's two videos. There's one, it's a closer up video and you see all the shoving. It's. It's ASAP Rocky and asap, really in the video. And there's like somebody in between. And then there's a bigger video that's like broader street view where you see where this is allegedly where the shooting part took place.

[Jess Hilarious]

He must know without a doubt that he's gonna get off because, you know, you think about it, they basically go give you 180 days, which is still. Which is still time.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

But in LA they commute everybody sentence because the jails are overpopulated. Right. So most people in LA only do a percentage of the time. So he must know for a fact that he's good money piece of the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

He's looking, I mean, if, if he doesn't beat this, taking it to trial, he's looking at up to 24 years in jail, as you mentioned yesterday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I hope, like, yeah, I hope Rocky knows something we don't know because I would have took that.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not risking being away from Rihanna.

[DJ Envy]

For 25 years and his babies. Right. And y'all know he's super.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, the babies too.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. And just for those who don't, who didn't listen yesterday or don't know, he is accused of firing a gun four times at a former friend who is ASAP relly back in Hollywood back in 2021. So that's another one we just come to watch and how it goes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I ain't playing with the jurors.

[Jess Hilarious]

I ain't playing with the jurors like that. They don't know the culture. They see me come in with cornrows, think I'm a thug automatically. Nigga, I do. My honey.

[DJ Envy]

I'm not surprised that he didn't.

[Jess Hilarious]

I am.

[DJ Envy]

I'm not surprised. I wouldn't have done that. But I'm not surprised that he did it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You better hope the jury full of Rihanna fans. And he tells him, like, look, man, if y'all put me away, y'all never get another album. Okay?

[DJ Envy]

So, yo, so in other news for the hour, Bernice King and Sexy Red, two names I didn't think that I would ever put in one sentence at a time, but they had a little back and forth online yesterday. So you guys know Monday was Martin Luther King Day. People were posting and celebration, and Sexyy Red actually posted this photo right here. This is an AI photo. She posted this to Twitter.

[Jess Hilarious]

She's not twerking on him because that's the first thing people are gonna think. She's not twerking.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. For anybody who can't see us, who's listening? Sexy Red is not twerking on Martin Luther King. They are in a very. Like, they're, like, dancing.

[Jess Hilarious]

She's, like, slow dancing.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, like, she's slow dancing. She's holding his hand. He's staring in her eyes. She's staring in his eyes again. AI generated photo. It went crazy viral, by the way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y'all was doing Martin Dirty way before AI. Okay. Y'all had Martin with Hennessy bottles in his hand. I had Martin on Meek Mill. Bodies standing in front of Phantoms. Y'all was doing them Dirty Boy before.

[DJ Envy]

A video yesterday, women talking about who would be the best tipper in a strip club, Martin Luther King or Malcolm X.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's wild.

[DJ Envy]

It was insane. But Bernice King, who was the daughter of Martin Luther King, came out and said, this is intentionally distasteful, dishonoring, deplorable, and disrespectful to my family and my father, who is not here to respond himself because he was assassinated for working for your civil and human rights and to end war and poverty. Please delete. So Sexyy Red responded, and she said, you ain't wrong. Never meant to disrespect your family. My apologies. Just reposted something I saw, and I thought that it was innocent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I loved how that was handled.

[DJ Envy]

Me too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love the fact because Bernice wasn't wrong. And the King family been telling y'all to stop playing with their daddy likeness. And Sexyy Red handled it like an adult. I respect it.

[DJ Envy]

Big Sexy handled it well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And Martin would be the better tipper in the script club. I just want to put that out there.

[DJ Envy]

You think so?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

Why?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He just. I just think he would be.

[DJ Envy]

Why?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think y'all should all read the Sword in the Shield, too. It's a Fantastic book, all right, that talks about Martin Luther King Jr. And Malcolm X and the revolutionary lives that they lived is by Peniel E. Joseph. It's called the Sword and the Shield. They actually did a documentary about it too. But it's a fantastic book.

[DJ Envy]

The girls in the video was saying it probably would have been Malcolm X because he was more of like a street, like outside.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, then I don't know. I'm not. Once again, I'm not here to talk. Clearly none of these people know anything about Martin Luther King Jr.

[Jess Hilarious]

But they said Martin Luther King. Never mind.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, be quiet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Read the book. Sword in the Ship.

[DJ Envy]

Telling stories.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Revolutionary.

[DJ Envy]

Was you there for that too?

[Jess Hilarious]

Not there for that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is some wild content to create on Martin Luther King data.

[DJ Envy]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like that's the best y'all could come up with. Who's the best cripple?

[DJ Envy]

Shout out to big time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then it's just. And then. I hate that.

[DJ Envy]

I can't believe.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I hate that your mind even thinks about who would be the best.

[DJ Envy]

I can't believe he was about to go into story details. He ain't learned his lesson yet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Neil E. Joseph, the Sword and the Shield, the Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. Came out in 2020. You should go get it. Read it. It's a great book and they did a documentary about it too.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. All right. Well, that is Jess with the mess with la roll. So now when we come back, we got front page news and then Anita Kopak will be joining us. Her new book the wind on her tongue is out right now. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club.

[Jess Hilarious]

Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Laura LaRosa filling in for Jess. And let's get in some front page news. And let me salute to the New York Yankees own C. Cece Sabathia. He's a first time ballot hall of famer. He was inducted yesterday. So congratulations to Cece Sabathia. That's pretty big now. What else we got, Morgan?

[Morgan]

Former vice president Kamala Harris left the nation's capital and went straight to visit Southern California where she surveyed the Eaton fire burn zone in Altadena. Harris and former second gentleman Doug Imhoff spoke with fire victims at a repair shop hosting a World Central kitchen site. The couple met them with met with firefighters at a Fire Station 12 and Fire Station to respond to the Eaton fire and thank them for their service. Harris added context to her visit saying the home she shares with the second gentleman was in a mandatory evacuation zone due to the Palisades fire. However, they were luck. One of the lucky ones. Now, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. She's also taking steps to expedite debris cleanup. Let's hear more of those comments from those officials out west of VP Harris and LA Mayor Karen Bass.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We are some of the lucky ones. Our home is still standing.

[DJ Envy]

We wanted to come out and in particular to this extraordinary community and just.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let people know that we see them and that they are cared for.

[DJ Envy]

I signed an executive order to expedite debris removal regulations, preventing swift rebuilding and.

[Jess Hilarious]

Establishing a framework to secure additional regulatory relief and resources.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Salute to Kamala Harris. You know what I'm saying? She's a public servant to the heart, but I want her to go get some rest. I really do.

[DJ Envy]

I'm not even joking.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, she don't.

[DJ Envy]

She wants to, but yeah, she did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That because she wanted to. She don't got to do that. She don't have no duties. Like she's not.

[DJ Envy]

So now she's good. She don't have to do anything if she doesn't want to.

[Morgan]

Nothing official. No. She should take a vacation to Charlemagne's point. Absolutely. Go get back to work.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Go get some rest, Kamala.

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We appreciate you, we appreciate how you, you know, rose to the occasion, you know, when Biden stepped out way too late, but you know, go get.

[Morgan]

All right, so switching gears, more than 15 Democratic attorneys generals are suing to block President Trump's executive order that aims to end birthright citizenship. Now, Trump signed the executive order after being sworn into office on Monday. The lawsuit argues the executive order violates the 14th Amendment that Grant citizenship to all children born in the US despite where their parents may have come from. Attorneys generals opposing the executive order includes those from New York, New Jersey, California, Massachusetts, Arizona. Civil rights groups also challenged the executive order shortly after Trump signed it. Now New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Plotkin says the move is unconstitutional, it would harm children and they're prepared to defend birthright citizenship in the state of New Jersey. Now, he said the 14th Amendment clearly states again, as I mentioned before, that the citizenship of children born in the US doesn't depend on that of their parents and that the country has followed this basic rule for more than 150 years. Let's hear more from AG Platkin.

[Jess Hilarious]

The executive order renders many children bored on American soil without citizenship, creating for the first time a class of American born children whose health and well being are threatened by their own Government, it's so that a president, Congress, the majority cannot simply change a right on a whim. This is a right that was codified in one of the most important amendments ever codified in our nation's nearly two and a half century history. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Any thoughts on that? You guys, you guys know some friends that got some babies or, you know, maybe you, you know, some.

[DJ Envy]

For.

[Morgan]

I mean, I have friends who, you know, were born here and then, you know, their parents were from other places. What are your thoughts on it?

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, a lot of people, especially being in New York and the Caribbean culture that, you know, Dominican. I am not Dominican. Both my parents were born here and.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Their parents are born here.

[Jess Hilarious]

Salute to all.

[DJ Envy]

I'm saying that for Trump, really, Like, take a look.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yo, would that be crazy if they deport me? Ice, Cocaine? That wouldn't be funny. And I gotta prove.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I gotta get my birth certificate. Especially if they do it here.

[DJ Envy]

Anything up here with you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If they come here to do it, oh, my God. Jesus Christ. I would be. That's not funny.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm sure somebody's reporting me right now. DJ Envy, Rashawn, KC Vasquez or whatever, they gonna try to call me and they gonna say, ice, and they're gonna.

[Morgan]

Send you to the wrong island because Dominican Republic is not Dominica.

[Jess Hilarious]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Whoever called to report Envy, they'll be like, is this Mr. McKelve?

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh. So San Diego Democratic Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs, she's taking aim at it, at the executive order President Trump signed that has targeted towards the border. Jacobs says this will not only hurt and frighten the Latino communities, but it could also put a dent in San Diego's and Tijuana's border crossing business. Jacobs, she addressed the Democratic. She also addressed the Democrats. Democratic Party's loss due to a lack of clear messaging. Let's hear more from San Diego Democratic Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs.

[Lauren LaRosa]

A lot of what he's trying to.

[Jess Hilarious]

Do, in particular getting rid of the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

CBP1 app, sending the military to the border, designating the cartels as foreign terrorist.

[DJ Envy]

Organizations is actually going to make the border less orderly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think a lot of my colleagues really were so focused on unemployment that they missed that even though unemployment is.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Low and people had jobs, they couldn't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Afford the basics of living with jobs.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And I think that's something we as Democrats took too long to recognize.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I mean, that's what, that's the sentiment that you continue to echo, Charlemagne. Meanwhile, the Trump administration says it is already taking some illegal migrants into custody for deportation. Dozens of people have already been arrested after being accused of running a street gang from prison with ties to a Mexican mafia. This is also in San Diego County. District Attorney Steph Summer Stephen says one of the gang leaders was a death row inmate from National City who was convicted of killing three people but moved to general population after California paused the death penalty. Let's hear more from San Diego County. DA Summer Stephen There is the largest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Prison gang that's been around for 50 years is the Mexican Mafia or referred to as Emmy and that Mexican mafia shot callers. They basically give orders from prison. They were taxing businesses both legitimate and illegitimate businesses like the old style mafia committing murder, exploding Molotov cocktails, and the businesses that don't respond to their call for taxes. Yeah.

[Morgan]

So I guess we'll see more of those type of roundups. But yeah, it's already underway and like you said, they're looking to surprise people. So. But that's your front page news. Happy hump day.

He's back with a new book out right now, the Wind on Her Tongue. Ladies and gentlemen, Anita Kopak. Welcome.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Thank you. Thank you. It is so awesome to be back here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. Book two of the daughters of the Daughter of Three Waters trilogy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tell us what Wind on Her Tongue is all about. Anita.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So the wind on her Tongue is about Oya, who is the daughter of Yemeya, whom our first novel, Shallow Waters is about Yemeya. And so Oya is her daughter and not only in my stories, but in the ancient parables and in the religion of the Yoruba people, the Ephah. And so Oya is the goddess of the wind and storms and so many other things. But I think one of the things that mainstream might know her as like Storm, the character in X Men, she is kind of of fashioned after Oya. So Oya can like change the weather and bring. So this year, which is 2025, is a number nine year.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Which is Oya number. Yes. The end. Right? This is the end. This is when there's a lot of transformation. Things are moving fast. And we can tell as soon as 2025 started, right. Like, what this year is. And so this is really the energy of Oya. And that was not on purpose purpose that this book was coming out on a year nine.

[DJ Envy]

So in the opening of the book, it's not like that first chapter. I don't know if it's the forward or the note, but you talk about how, like, in black communities, we're not really allowed to talk about these, like, folklores that other communities and other ethnicities are able to talk about. And it made me think about how, like, with your grandma, even with my grandma, certain things, she's like, turn that off. That's demonic, or that's not God, or. But then they have certain things that they lean into. How do you have those conversations with your family? Because you're putting this on the forefront, and I'm sure some of your family is like, girl, what are you doing?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Absolutely. And the thing is, is that I've had these conversations, like, way earlier, from the beginning, because I would be like, well, what do you mean? Like, we can't learn about our history. We can't learn about our, like, gods and goddesses, our parables. Right. Our stories. Why is it demonic? Who said it's demonic? We know who said it's demonic. Right. And so it's like, we've. I've. People.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, my aunts be saying it, but they got.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But they got it from somewhere, right? They got it from somewhere because it's like, it's. It's where our ancestors are from. It's us. It's like, who we are. And so even if you're not gonna practice the religion, you know, like, it's like, oh, but can't we know our history? Like, why is it demonic to know our history, to know the stories and they know them. Like, if you think of, like, some of the hoodoo practices, practice practices, it's like in our families, like, you know, if you're gonna beginning of the year, you want to have black Eyed Peas, you know? Exactly. And so it's like, we're doing it, but there's just that. That fine line. But I think more and more people are waking up because it's in us. It's in us. And, like, it. A part of it is our power remembering our power, remembering who we are. And so there's not really any stopping we can burn books. We can do whatever it is. It's inside of us. It's inside of us. And at some point, some of us are gonna remember. Some of us are gonna write it down, right? And who knows who's gonna be inspired by this book, right? To create more things and remember more things.

[Jess Hilarious]

So what made you dive into all of this? I know you were here before. You briefly explained, but for people, that this is the first time hearing what made you dive into this part of it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So to me, I felt like Yemeya, like, dove into me, because I would was. I would say curious, but not like I wasn't. I. I wasn't practicing the religion or anything, but I had a lot of friends who were. And someone had told me that Yemeya watched over our ancestors as they came over on the slave ships. And I was just like, what? We had a black mermaid, like, watching over us, watching over the souls that jumped off. And I was like, what is this? I was like, I don't know these stories, and I'm a curious person. So I was like, I want to learn about this. And so as I was diving in, I just felt so connected. The more and more I learned, the more I felt like I woke up, the more I felt like I was going home. And I was like, what is this? And so at some point, I decided to write the book. And as I was writing the book, to me, it felt like for Shallow Waters, it felt like Yemeya was sitting at the edge of the bed telling me the story. And. And so there were things that I had to look up after to make sure that, you know, historic.

[DJ Envy]

There.

[Lauren LaRosa]

These are both historical fiction. And so the history part, I definitely had to, like, look up, make sure that it all made sense. And of course, you know, the publishers, they helped me with that as well, too, to keep me on point.

[DJ Envy]

Point.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But I would say if I just felt such a calling to it. And then what was interesting was when Shallow waters came out, African ancestry got a hold of me, and they're like, do you want to see, like, where your ancestry's from? I was like, yeah, actually, that would be kind of dope. And it is. It's Yoruba and Hausa. And so I was like, oh, it's because it was. It's in me.

[Jess Hilarious]

Got you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's why I felt so connected, you know?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You wrote an article for People magazine breaking down the parallels between Wicked's Elphaba. How's that? Pronounce her name.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Elphaba. Elphaba, yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And Oye and how they defy the gravity of social norms and expectations, break that down.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So when I watched Wicked and I saw Elphaba's character, I was like, oh, this is Oya, right? Like, how nobody understands her. How when she gets mad, this power comes out of her. She doesn't understand the power and then someone else has to understand it first, you know, help her to, like, hone it. And there were so many things how she just stood up against societal norms, right. And was able to be herself. And she did have to go through her own journey and different relationships in order to do that. So Oya is. Is very similar where she has this power within her of the storm and gathering up, right. The energy of the nature and all of these things. And in the beginning, it just happens when she's ma.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And I don't want to tell the story, but, you know, she learns about herself and about her powers. And what was really cool about what I found out after I wrote that article is that who Elphaba's character is fashioned after, which is Matilda Jocelyn Gage. That's Tilly in Shallow Waters.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's Matilda Jocelyn Gage. Like, when I was doing like the research and everything, and I was like, I like this woman. Like, she was a white woman, she was a suffragette. She fought for black and indigenous rights. She fought for even child slavery as far as, like trafficking back then. She did so many things and I was like, I like this woman. So I made her Tilly. And she. That's who Elphaba is.

[DJ Envy]

Fashion.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Wow, I had no idea.

[Jess Hilarious]

Now you talk about the 16th truths. Break that down a little bit.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, oh, listen. Okay, I put that onto my Instagram because I don't know everything about ifa, right? I know like one. Like one of the truths that is very important is know thyself, right? Like really knowing yourself. So the orishas are like the. The energies that represent the different. The natural forces in the world. So this is. She's a storm weather. Yemaya was the ocean. Right. So they're not necessarily gods and goddesses. I just. We just say that for the purpose here. Right?

[DJ Envy]

So they're.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They're more like spirits. And so even before you really know who's on your head, that's what they will say. Who's on your head? Like, what orisha rules you? You have to know yourself. And so really connecting to yourself and your ancestors and what you were born for, that, you know, to me, would be one of like, the most important.

[DJ Envy]

Truths in ifa all right, we got.

[Jess Hilarious]

More with Anita Kopak when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlamagne. Tha God, we are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. And we're still kicking it with Anita Kopak. Her new book, the wind on her tongue is out right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charlamagne, you know, I want you to go deeper into who Oye is, right? Because you dedicate the book to a lot of your friends who have experienced, you know, stillborn births and miscarriages. And Oye is an African goddess who watches over women who have had stillborns and miscarriages. So can you expound on that a little bit? Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That just gave me chills because to know that there is an energy or a goddess out there that is watching over women who have lost children. So I've told you about my time when I went to Peru and I did ayahuasca and San Pedro, right? And so when I did San Pedro, my ancestors came to me.

[Jess Hilarious]

What's San Pedro?

[Lauren LaRosa]

So San Pedro is. Is. I believe it's a cactus and it's.

[DJ Envy]

A drug, I guess, plant based medicine.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Plant based medicine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Plant based medicine.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Plant medicine. And so you go into this space, like, you just get deeper in touch with the energies around. To me, it felt like I was more in touch with the invisible energies that are around. And so my ancestors came to me and they said, what is happening right now is, is that so many of us are dealing with the loss of children, whether it was us or our ancestors down the line who had lost children, lost children through death, through being taken away during slavery. So many people are suffering from that that we're trying to hold on to everything. So that's why people have clutter. That's why people think they have to keep things and, like, as if we can own anything ever, right? And so that's what the ancestors told me. And so then when I found out that Oya watches over women who had lost babies in any form, right? Like the stillbirths, miscarriages, even abortions, right? Like, it's like you've lost a child and she helps with the healing and she helps. Helps with, you know, getting us, because she is the goddess of the storm. She's the goddess of transformation. So she moves things around so that if there is a healing like that, that needs to happen, because that's such a deep wound. She comes and she blows away so that you can heal.

[DJ Envy]

It's crazy because in your writing, a lot of times I can relate it to things like how you talked about, like, the black eyed peas and the fried chicken. And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's what they were doing. But with that, I couldn't relate it to anything. And I'm like, I don't think I've ever had a conversation in my family just about what happens if you have a miscarriage and how you feel. I don't even know. I'm sure it has happened, but I don't know any close family members that have ever talked to me about it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, because people don't talk about it. And they definitely have. Right. Like someone has. It's in all of our families.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

If it hasn't happened to you, it's like, happened to someone who's close to you. And it's a lot of times people just go through it in silence and go to work right. In a couple days and. And not, you know, like, not be able to deal with it. And we know that if we hide things away, they just keep growing and growing and growing. And so it's so important to have a place and a way to heal from these things. And I'm also a spiritual psychologist. I do deal with people in that way. As far as as guiding people through trauma and things like that. I do it with the Goddess Wisdom Council. We have a retreat that's coming up in Costa Rica. So a lot of times I work with women who have experienced some form of sexual trauma. That's one of my things that I work with a lot. And what is interesting with that too, is that it's not always directly like a woman can be like, oh, my gosh, I don't remember anything happening happening to me. But I noticed the way I act, it's as if something happened. So it could be something that she doesn't remember, or it could be something that happened in her family line. Because if it did happen to her grandmother, right. Like, she's passing it down. Like, what's inside of us is what was in our ancestors. So you see.

[DJ Envy]

Now, can you break down the parallels that you make with Oya in the Black woman trope? Angry Black Woman. And then you talk about duality too, because you talk about how, like, the hurricanes are, like, so strong and people hate them, but then after, sometimes they reveal beautiful things and people come together to get through them.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, yes. So that was actually one of the things that came up for me with Oya a lot, because I was actually kind of afraid at first to write about her because I was like, oh, Oya scares me a little bit. She's a beast. She's an unbeatable warrior. Like, that's who she is. She's an unbeatable warrior. Like. Like, don't with her. And I was like, I'm a little bit scared to write about Oya. And then when I started, like, learning about her and writing about her and listening to her, I was like, oh, it's like the angry black woman. Like, people being afraid of the angry black woman. I was like, she's not angry.

[DJ Envy]

She's just powerful.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And just because you can't handle it, right? Just because I couldn't handle it, right. Like, from what I thought about her, it was like, no, she is just powerful. And I think it's that misunderstanding. People misunderstand that, like a black person, a black woman, is just saying what she needs. Oh, she's angry, right? She's just telling people that she doesn't like something. Oh, she's angry. And we know other people say that they don't like things all the time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

White people, especially white men.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do you think that these goddesses possess you when you're writing? Like, do they? Are they, like, guiding you? Like, hey, I need you to tell this story about me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So I gotta tell you something, because, yes, I had an experience like that, so I didn't necessarily feel like that. So with Yeme, I felt like she was sitting at the edge of my bed, right. Telling me with Oya, I didn't feel like I was possessed. But at the end, when I finished writing, I. Like, the. After I wrote the last word, I was like, let me go downstairs. I put on some music and I started dancing. And all of a sudden I just started bawling, crying. And it felt like she was coming out of me. Like, it was just like. And I don't know where these tears were coming from.

[DJ Envy]

It was just like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And I was just like, oh, my gosh, was she. I didn't. I. It didn't feel like it. I don't know. I don't know what it feels like to be possessed, but it didn't feel like it in that way. But it did feel like I was definitely guided. She was telling me the story, she was telling me who needed to be in it. You know, some of the characters I love to work with, with historical figures, so. Like Marie Laveau and Mary Ellen Pleasant. So Ellen is named Ellen. Mary Ellen Pleasant is Ellen in the book. Because sometimes she was. People called her Ellen. Or Mammy Pleasant. But anyway, when I was looking up Mary Ellen Pleasant, I was like, who is this woman? How come I don't know about her? Before Madam C.J. walker, she was the first self made millionaire woman. And this is not just black women, it's women. She's the first one before Madam C.J. walker. And I was like, how come I didn't learn about her? Well, it's because she was a voodoo queen, so they don't want to teach that in school. She was also a madam. That's not how she made like most of her money. But she co founded bank of California which is now Wells Fargo. She's did so many things, invested in like in, in gold, silver, a lot of real estate. And the thing is, while she was doing this because of the time she was pretending that she was a mammy. So she was pretending that she was the help, right? So she would dress up like the help. She had a 30 room mansion. When people came by, she would pretend she was the help and then she would like serve the white men would be talking about the investments they're making and she would take that and go do her inside training. Training.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She was like. She was like the spook who sat by the door in a lot of ways. Yeah. Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, we got more with Anita Kopak when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne. The God we are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. And we're still kicking with Anita Kopak. Her new book, the wind on her tongue is out right now. Charlemagne.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When I read Shallow Waters four or five years ago, whenever it was, I didn't know it was going to end up being in a trilogy. Did you know that?

[DJ Envy]

I didn't know either.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, but listen, people kept going, it's a trilogy. And I was like, no, no, it's done. The story finished. It's done.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People said that to you?

[Lauren LaRosa]

People? So many people. They're like, it's a trilogy. It's a trilogy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wonder why a trilogy. I wonder why.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know. Why doesn't it keep going on so well? The daughter of Three waters. Let me tell you where that comes from, because in Cuba, usually you have.

Just the two orishas on your head, a male and a female. And so that would be who like kind of rules you or rules kind of the energies of your life. They have one thing in Cuba where if it feels like you have Yemeya and Oshun, they'll say, oh, that's a daughter of. Of of two waters. Because you can have that in in Cuba. Everywhere else they don't really have that. And so I was like, oh well, oya feels like water for me too. So that's why I made that up. Daughter of Three Waters.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So do you know what the third installment is going to be about?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I oh, okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's already claiming to you I do.

[Jess Hilarious]

You gonna share it in that chat?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Most people probably will figure out that it Is Oshun. So it will be Oshun. And I do have the story, but I haven't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is Oshun sitting on the edge of your bed or. She is.

[DJ Envy]

She is.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Wait, okay, wait. I'm trying to think if I should be sharing this yet. Probably not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, let's focus on the wind on our tongue. It's out right now. You said something. Your dedications that I found interesting too. You said sheds to your mom, dad and sisters for putting up with you as a child. Then you shouted out your children for putting up with you as an adult. Is there anything from your childhood that you have bought with you into adulthood that made you say adulthood?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I was definitely like this as a child. I mean, I. I was, I was very introverted though. I was quiet, but I was very much in my own world, like in this magical world all the time. And for my kids, I'm kind of more like one of the kids. It's not necessarily how I thought I would adult. I thought I was gonna be a little bit more strict. My mom, she's amazing, but she was definitely strict with us as well. Mom, I love you. She's amazing. But you know, I couldn't f around. I thought I was gonna be like that. And you know, I tried to be strict for one second and, and to see like, like my kid, the way they responded to it, I was like.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, they don't take you serious. Huh?

[DJ Envy]

This is.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, they don't take you serious.

[DJ Envy]

Are they artists as well? Like they are.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, my two girls are. And then my son is math, science.

[DJ Envy]

Got you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. And my oldest one, Sadie, she's. She's 20, she's at NYU. She's like doing film. And then Tila is a senior in high school and really, really into singing. She's actually, she is writing the songs for Shallow Waters, the musical. And I like, she came in, you know, I was like, she's 17 year old. I was like, okay, yeah. She's like, I have a song that I want to sing to you. I had chills. I was like, oh, let's do it. Lin Manuel, where are you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you want Shallow Water to be a musical?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yo, when she sang the things, I was like, yo, yo, you don't even know. I was like, okay, we're doing this. Let me find Lin Manuel. So. So she's into like the arts. And then my son Mayan is math, science. He's. He told me he can't imagine a world where he's not figuring something out like math wise. So they're all like, parts of me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But, you know, it's interesting because when you talk about these books being filmed, if you've ever read Shallow Waters, if you read the Wind on Her Tongue, you're going to feel like you're, you know, watching a motion picture. Like, that's how much this stuff pops out, you know, on the page. So I know that's the next evolution of these stories.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They're going to be on the big screen or the small screen. They're going to be on the screen.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Going back real quick to something you said about voodoo. What point in the world did that switch? Because, like, even when you're talking about it, I'm like, oh, I'm saying this word so much is like a no, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Especially around, like, your older, older people. When did it switch from, like, these people were healers roots to this is bad. Stay away from it. Your position. Possessed. And you can't watch scary movies. Like, when did that switch?

[Lauren LaRosa]

So that switched all during slavery, when the Africans were enslaved. So they needed to keep us away from our religions. They needed to keep us away from our spirituality, from our language. And so in order to do that, they demonized it. And not only that, if you practice it, a lot of people were killed or beaten. And so all of these things were like, I guess, beaten into us. Right, right. And then there was a point where the fact that it survived, right?

[DJ Envy]

Like what.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What you resist persists, right? Like, you can't beat out of people. It. It just doesn't work. Like, the more you try to do that, the more the person becomes stronger in that. And so it's like these. Spirituality, the religion, all of these things survived these. These times. And a lot of times they kind of hid it behind Catholicism, because Catholicism works with saints, right? And so each candle, right, like, would be a certain saint, but they'd be like, oh, yeah, but this is actually Yemeya behind this saint. And so they were able to. To work with their religion through Catholicism.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, well, the new book, the Wind on Her Tongue is Out right now.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It feels so good. Like, I feel so grateful to you. Like, the fact that you saw me, you recognized me, you recognized the work, you recognize the words that needed to be out there, the stories that needed to be out there. I feel so grateful that I'm able to get these stories out into the public. And I would say that's how I feel. Deep, deep gratitude.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, if you're looking for some escapism rooted in some realism, the Wind on Her Tongue by Anita Kopac is available right now everywhere you buy books. And the audiobook is read by your sister.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk to me.

[DJ Envy]

All right, guys, in breaking news, my wife, Star Natalie Diddonado is currently missing. This comes after she was listed as a no show for two flights home. She was leaving Vegas. So background of the story, my wife, Star was in Vegas and right now she is the subject of a missing persons report after she didn't get on those two flights. Now law enforcement, enforcement sources are saying that there was a report filed for Natalie, best known from her appearing on season five of My Wives. This it says this morning in Las Vegas, that was yesterday. So yesterday the missing person's report was filed because she didn't get on those two flights. Now Natalie's family is very concerned at this point. They spoke to cops in Philadelphia, where she also visited earlier this morning month. And they're basically just at this point trying to figure out what's going on. Natalie's mother, Denise Tell told an outlet, told TMZ that she spoke to Natalie seven days ago. She actually had her own FaceTime. Denise, Natalie's mom says during the brief conversation, Natalie rushed off the phone, didn't clarify where she was or who she was with. Just telling her mom that she had to go. Natalie said Natalie's mom is saying that it's unclear if her daughter was with anybody and that she just seemed a little bit nervous and distressed after the brief phone call. And Denise is saying that the conversation left her very concerned and she tried to call her her daughter back on both of her cell phones, but neither were working at the time. And she's been trying to get in contact with her over the last few days, which prompted her to contact police in Philly. I guess that's because along the lines of like where her flight would have been traveling. Right. And according to Natalie's mom, the last update she received was from one of Natalie's friends, a guy named Ben, who allegedly told her on Monday that the My Wife star was in Las Vegas and had reached out to him for help getting home on a flight. Now she was flying back to Florida. So we. I reached out to Renee Graziano.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Who was an ex mob wife from My wife.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Reaching out to Renee.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, I reached out to her and she also said that she spoke to Natalie on the 14th. She said that when she spoke to Natalie on the 14th, Natalie was distressed. She said that she was in Las Vegas, but she told Renee that she was not comfortable and that she asked Renee to reach out to some people. She then later that day called Natalie back back and she, Natalie told her, hey, one of my friends got me, they're going to take care of my flight home. She was flying back to Florida. The friend that Renee is referencing, I'm assuming is the guy named Ben who Natalie's mom is saying helped him helped her with the flight. So Renee says then she took some days because she was sick. She then spoke to Natalie again at after 2 o'clock on the 17th and Natalie told her, hey, I'm headed home. But she didn't sound happy. She sounded it still very distressed, very uncomfortable. Wasn't like her normal self. So now at this point, Renee and a lot of other of Natalie's friends along her family are panicking. They're getting together. Renee told me that they actually were on the phone. Her, Claudia, Jordan and a couple other ladies were on the phone for some hours over these last couple days just trying to piece together last time people have talked to her right. What she was saying and they don't know who she was with either. But they, but Renee told me that she do does believe that N was by herself. And when I asked why was she even in Vegas? Because I don't see that in any real reports. She's saying that she does a Lot of work with boxing and different appearances. So maybe that's why she was there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are the police doing their job? Are they investigating?

[DJ Envy]

The police are investigating as well. And I. And from what I was told, they're actually looking at like hotel camera footage and things of that nature. So. Just praying for a safe return of Natalie. It is. I can't imagine being a parent and getting that phone.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, not, not. Not at all. And I tell everybody, and I'm not, I'm not anybody that's signed to the app or anything like that, but I use Life 36 60, which can tell you where your phone is at all times. You know, I mean, so I always say, put that on your app, put that on your wife's app, your husband's app, your kids app. So that way you can get kind of like a timeline. Of course you won't know everything, but you can get kind of a. A thorough timeline of. Of all the things that that happen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's very scary.

[Jess Hilarious]

It tells you for the best.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It tells you where they are, their last locations, what area they're close to.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yep.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

And tells you what time if. Even if you turn your phone off, it tells you where you turned your phone off, how fast you were going, if you were in a vehicle, in a car. And that app is totally free. Like I said, I use it with my kids all the time, but it gives me kind of like a little sense of, of calmness when my kids are out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How many people out there who cheat, who use Life360? Like, do you, do you. Do you do that type of gamble with your life? Do you download Life360 knowing somebody's cheating?

[Jess Hilarious]

They definitely not use it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just asking. There's some crazy people.

[DJ Envy]

I'm gonna say it depends because I know people with trackers on their car, who the trackers are there and they still get busy. And then my friends be having some. Because don't play with my friends.

[Jess Hilarious]

I do know some person that when he does go out, he puts his phone, phone at the club, like in the bushes by the club. So it just always. Nevermind.

[DJ Envy]

If you gotta do all that, you should not be in a relationship.

[Jess Hilarious]

Never mind.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are you gonna snitch on somebody and then say.

[Jess Hilarious]

I said never mind. I stopped.

[DJ Envy]

Always up here.

[Jess Hilarious]

I stopped. I took it back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was the son of a cop. Okay, well, never forget that.

[DJ Envy]

Speaking of people that be talking. Okay, Drake.

[Jess Hilarious]

Jesus.

[DJ Envy]

So Drake, always in the girly smiles. Drake. Actually, you guys remember there's been that whole conversation about Drake And Sza and what they used to do, whether they rather read or not, because he mentioned her in the song. Well, Sza was on Hot Ones. She was with Keke Palmer and Issa Rae. And, you know, they ask you questions, and you gotta answer or you gotta eat the really hot chicken. So they asked her about Drake. Let's take a listen. Is Drake a good kisser? That's why I said you in advance.

[Jess Hilarious]

I like you.

[DJ Envy]

I knew you were gonna do something that was. So we have to gag him. He's not gonna answer. He must have been terrible.

[Jess Hilarious]

She did. She answered.

[DJ Envy]

Was he good?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Did you kiss her?

[DJ Envy]

You're a real.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We were Children.

[DJ Envy]

We were Children. That was the sound of lines 2009. We were children. Real. I mean, it's a simple good or not good. Yeah, it's really easy. And the fact that you don't want.

[Jess Hilarious]

To say one is very telling.

[DJ Envy]

Very telling. Y'all try to double team me into guilt. Cause you know, if I'm affected by it, y'all, I'm affected by it. Is everything. Why we didn't know you was married.

[Morgan]

Issa, the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is that true?

[DJ Envy]

And when he comes, huh, you be kissing this. This was a good Hot Ones episode. Okay. They got into some things, but to say we was young, we was 19. To me, that sounds like. She said he wasn't a good kisser, but I oblige. Y'all don't want to have. Y'all don't want to talk about the kissing and the love?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. Can't say I care about that one.

[Jess Hilarious]

Get Wobble Wobble ready. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club? Execution on the Donkey of the Day is something to behold.

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People need to know.

[DJ Envy]

Well, you need to tell them.

[Jess Hilarious]

[DJ Envy]

You have the voice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tell them it's time for Donkey of the Day.

[DJ Envy]

It's a read.

[Morgan]

But you're so good at it, you're.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne. There's only one Charlemagne.

[DJ Envy]

Damn Charlemagne. Who you giving Dusty of the Day to now?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, sexy Red Donkey of the day for Wednesday, January 22nd goes to a 48 year old Indiana woman named Jennifer Lee Wilson. Now, I have a confession to make. My name is Leonard McKelvey, more commonly known to the public as Charlemagne Tha God. And I am a notorious, notorious fat shamer.

[Jess Hilarious]

We know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some might even call me a bigot toward big backs. But I swear, I mean, well, okay, I only make jokes on fat friends and fat family. Every other obese person I judge from afar. But today, Jennifer Lee Wilson deserves to be fat. Shamed by us all. Jennifer Lee Wilson is the reason RFK Jr wants to ban high fructose corn syrup. Okay. She may become the face of federal food regulations because the last time I witnessed somebody weaponized their weight like Jennifer Lee, it was Rikishi from the wwe. What do you mean? Uncle Charlotte? She weaponized her weight. Well, let's go to NBC 5 Chicago for the report. Let's please. 10 year old Dakota Stevens had a.

[Jess Hilarious]

Smile that defied a difficult upbringing. The Indiana boy spent years in foster.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Care and was killed, prosecutors now say.

[Jess Hilarious]

By his new foster mother.

[DJ Envy]

He did it the best that he could and unfortunately, you know, he fell.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Victim to the system.

[Jess Hilarious]

His former foster family has spent weeks pushing for charges. And today, Porter county prosecutors charged Jennifer Wilson with reckless homicide.

[DJ Envy]

Dakota had just been placed in her.

[Jess Hilarious]

Valparaiso home when police say he ran off after a temper tantrum, even asking.

[Lauren LaRosa]

A neighbor to adopt him because his.

[DJ Envy]

Parents hit him in the face.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But police say Wilson found and brought.

[DJ Envy]

Him back and he tried to run again.

[Jess Hilarious]

So she laid her entire weight on his body while calling the boy's caseworker. Wilson told police that she laid on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The boy's midsection out here in the.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yard to control him.

[Jess Hilarious]

The 10 year old weighed just 91 pounds. But Wilson, according to police, waves 3, 340 pounds and sat on the child for five minutes until he stopped moving.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jesus. First things first. Rest in peace to 10 year old Dakota Stevens. That young man tried to get help. Okay? When you run away from home, run away from, you know, your foster mother to a neighbor's house and ask them to adopt you. Lord only knows the trauma you were experiencing in that house. Okay? He ran from that obese orphan killer. All right? Dakota was 4 foot 10 and weighed 90 pounds. Jennifer Lee was 4 foot 11 and weighed 3340 pounds. She was built like a Range Rover. And no matter how good Dakota was eating in that house, he had to get away. Because that young man knew that his fate, he knew what his fate would be if he stayed there. He just knew. Let the record show fate without the E at the end is fat and fate without the F in the front is eight. That has nothing to do with nothing. I just wanted to make that observation because Jennifer Lee Wilson is obese. And I cannot believe she's only getting six years in prison with one year suspended to be served on probation for killing a whole human. Okay? This was a fat fatality. Okay? You should be a fat felon forever. In fact, the judge should say, I'm giving you a year for every pound. Yes, 340 years, okay? I would have made you a fat funky felon forever. All right? You are a large law breaker and you don't deserve to experience the Krispy Kreme hot light ever again. Why did did this wide ass Wrongdoer only get 6 years? If you ask me, she's a heavyweight homicidal maniac, okay? This wasn't no accident. She thought about this. She was intentional about this. This was a cold, calculated, chunky, chubby ass crime. The only time she's been more premeditated was probably at Golden Corral. Would you like to hear more about her sentencing? Let's go to CBS News, Chicago for the report. Please.

[Jess Hilarious]

A northwest Indiana judge sentenced a woman.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In the death of her foster son.

[Jess Hilarious]

Jennifer Lee Wilson pled guilty to reckless.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Homicide in the April death of her foster son, 10 year old Dakota Lee Stevens.

[Jess Hilarious]

Investigators say she pinned Dakota to the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ground by lying on his midsection for.

[Jess Hilarious]

Several minutes, causing fatal injuries. A judge sentenced her to six years in prison.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Look at this woman. Oh, shoot. She looked like the Mucinex man. Does she not not? Yeah, I did some research. And by research I mean Chat GPT. And I asked, chat GPT, has a sumo wrestler ever sat on someone and killed them? And Chat GPT said there are no well documented cases of a sumo wrestler intentionally sitting on someone to kill Them. So, Jennifer Lee Wilson, you did something that a sumo wrestler has never done, and it was your adopted son. You and all your fat cells should be in a prison cell for ever. How did they give this big body butcher only six years? Okay, this woman is built like Grimace from McDonald's, but she's not friendly and lovable. No, this is the Grimace Reaper. She's a massive murderer. This half ton killer deserves to be in prison forever. And I don't know why she isn't. What? All right. What?

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, all right, all right. Play the steam music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There you go. Mac mid size Mac is in it. What?

[Jess Hilarious]

It's gotta stop, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[Jess Hilarious]

You have to stop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Stop what? This woman is a killer.

[Jess Hilarious]

Starting to think somebody fat touched you at a young age because you hate us with such a.

[DJ Envy]

It says nothing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This woman killed a 10 year old.

[Jess Hilarious]

I understand. By sitting on it, and I understand that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And as the president of the Fat.

[Jess Hilarious]

Lives Matter committee, she was wrong in a sense of, like, when we are our sides, we know. We know our issues.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like when I go to church and you know they got those little white church chairs. I know those don't hold me. I gotta test those.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I test a lot of chairs before I sit down.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Even during sex, you know how long.

[Jess Hilarious]

It took me before I got on top?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was scared.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know what. It's like getting on a roller coaster.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm terrified.

[DJ Envy]

I'm like.

[Jess Hilarious]

Every couple strokes, I'm like, good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can you breathe?

[Jess Hilarious]

You gotta stop. You gotta. That poor guy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Suicidal women that are letting you get.

[Jess Hilarious]

On top, you don't know if they're women and men. You don't know what. What he is, bro.

[DJ Envy]

Your push up game must be crazy because no way. You put all your weight.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's a balance thing. You got to lean to the left, to the right side. Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Now she in a kayak.

[Jess Hilarious]

She should have known that that sitting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

On that kid was.

[Jess Hilarious]

That was wrong. You got to treat that like all types of furniture. See, y'all don't know that because y'all. You know, y'all got gym memberships, but, yeah, it's the worst thing you could do is sit somewhere in public and that chair break. Because there's no way you could play that off. And just like this, there's no way you can play off killing a kid.

[DJ Envy]

It's a human.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You ever broke a chair on a plane?

[Jess Hilarious]

On a plane, yeah. Not on a plane. I've broken a lot of chairs.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you fly cargo?

[Jess Hilarious]

I do have a question. The seat belt extender, how many do you use? One now. Well, right now, thank God, Mac has.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lost a lot of weight.

[Jess Hilarious]

Last month was the first time I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ever didn't need one.

[Jess Hilarious]

You didn't need any extended at all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Drop a bomb for ma.

[Jess Hilarious]

But shout out to all the students and all the flight attendants because they are very respectful when they come to you to, like, they sell drugs. Like, you need that. You need. You need that thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I'll be like, everybody on the plane know what they whispering to you about back then? What you talking about?

[DJ Envy]

They either. They either reserving Bisco or asking you about the extender. It's not much.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, you need that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You need.

[Jess Hilarious]

You need that. And I be like, well, what you got?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And they be like, yeah, we got that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, you thought they was on snacks. N. I mean, that comes later, but.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

At first, you always. They always make sure you good because the last thing you want is the.

[Jess Hilarious]

Plane to have turbulence and my big ass is flying around, you know what I mean? And I hit somebody.

[DJ Envy]

I can't imagine you on top. That is insane.

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, look, that's all you got out of this. A lot of chubby chases out there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We said all of that to say, please give the gluttonous reaper Jennifer Lee Wilson you the biggest seahaw. What? Gotta stop me.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, well, thank you for that donkey today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. This is disgusting.

[Jess Hilarious]

Don't go anywhere.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is disgusting.

[Jess Hilarious]

Media Mac. No, don't call her disgusting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. No, this is disgusting. No.

[DJ Envy]

She killed a little baby.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. This woman. This woman on purpose.

[Jess Hilarious]

She was not like a murderer.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This woman had a crushing presence. This is terrible. Okay, all right.

[Jess Hilarious]

I can't wait till there's a short.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Killer and then you gonna be right in there. 800, killer.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. This conversation comes from Zuckerberg, of course. At the inauguration, he. He was caught staring at Jeff Bezos fiance, Lauren Sanchez. So let's open up the phone lines. Have a question. 800-585-1-0512 questions.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you think Mark Zuckerberg was gay until this picture?

[Jess Hilarious]

Ladies, when you're wearing. Wave back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come back.

[Jess Hilarious]

When you're wearing revealing clothing, do you feel welcoming? The fact that men are staring at your assets? And fellas, if a woman is wearing revealing clothing, do you like to look?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, Mac, women, do you welcome being sexually harassed with somebody's eyes?

[Jess Hilarious]

That's not necessarily sexually Harassed because I asked Lauren before we did this, and I said, if you're wearing something revealing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are you doing the. What are you wearing? Boy, Trump really backing off.

[Jess Hilarious]

Wow. I'm just asking the question.

[DJ Envy]

No, he asked me if I'm wearing something revealing. Am I offended when guys look? And I'm like, no, you. I know they're going to look. So I'm not offended.

[Jess Hilarious]

And I asked Mac, Mac, when you see somebody wearing a woman or a guy wearing something revealing and you look, can we stop adding the guy thing? This is. That's your thing going on. That is the question. ADA 800-585-1051. Ladies, if you're wearing something revealing and a guy is looking at your asses, do you feel uncomfortable?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And fellas, it depends how the person is looking, of course. Like, of course somebody might look, but it's a. It's a way to look.

[Jess Hilarious]

But let's talk about it when we come back. 800.

[DJ Envy]

Y'all can't save your lives, fellas.

[Jess Hilarious]

Can't, right?

[DJ Envy]

No. Y'all just be looking. I mean.

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club.

[Jess Hilarious]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. Laura LaRosa filling in for Jess. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about something that actually came from Zuckerberg at the inauguration. Jeff Basil was there with his fiance, Lauren Sanchez, and he was caught staring at her chest. We'll say allegedly. So we're asking 800-585-1051. We were having a conversation in the room and we were saying, ladies, when you're wearing something revealing, do you mind if a guy stares at your assets? And fellas, you know, if a girl is wearing something revealing, do you stare at their assets? How does it make you feel? Is it uncomfortable? Is it not?

[DJ Envy]

I start with you, Laura. When you say assets, you can't hear the rest of the words sometimes. So it sounds like I said assets.

[Jess Hilarious]

I didn't say ass. I said assets.

[DJ Envy]

I don't feel away because, I mean, I just know y'all gonna looks. So why would I feel away? Like, don't touch me or anything like that. But you're just looking, like, why would I feel away?

[Jess Hilarious]

So if you wear something revealing, right? And you don't mind if a guy's staring at your. Your breast or staring at your Ass.

[DJ Envy]

It doesn't bother you weird about it, but if you just happen to look, it's like, what can I do about that? Like, we as women happen to look a lot too. Like if men are in sweatpants or like, you know, seated a certain way, say, like we looking for prints. We looking at a lot of stuff.

[Jess Hilarious]

You said recently you seen a comedian and you was there at his, his print the whole time.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

I couldn't get. It was like, whoa, who was that? Dave Chappelle, when he was on snl. He was sitting in that seat doing that monologue.

[Jess Hilarious]

What, you seen it too? Like he pointed at you?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

What?

[DJ Envy]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[DJ Envy]

You watched it two, three times. You watched it three times.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was sitting with my wife and I was watching and I'm listening to the monologue and for whatever reason it just started putting. It just started like really commanding the screen. And I said to my wife, I said, is that, was that his mic pack or something? Like, what the hell is that?

[DJ Envy]

That wasn't no pocket.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah. But it was a square.

[DJ Envy]

No, it wasn't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My wife, my wife didn't notice that first. Then when I said something, she was like, maybe that's his cigarettes. His cigarettes.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know because I thought, I thought his, his suit pants was so tight. I felt like you would have saw the square.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I don't think.

[DJ Envy]

That wasn't given square. It was, it was on his inner thighs.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It wasn't given print either though.

[Jess Hilarious]

You really was into this. So what did you see?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

Another point in the show, too. I think when he was sitting down doing the little neighbor, immigrant neighbor skit, there was a. There was a little situation there, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I ain't noticed that one. Now, when he was doing his monologue, I definitely. I was like, what is that? I thought he had a gun on him.

[Jess Hilarious]

What is that? Wow.

[DJ Envy]

Nike tech season. We be the eyes be outside. I mean, there's nothing we can do about it.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, well, let's go to the phone lines.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why you ain't answering the question? Andy, you're a guy. When you see a woman revealing clothes, do you.

[Jess Hilarious]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

And I'm making my business not to look.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Because I don't want to be disrespectful. What about you, Charlemagne?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Honestly, revealing clothes don't make me look. When I see a woman in revealing clothes, she looks like she's trying too hard. So as soon as I know that she's wearing Revenue reveal revealing clothes, I look straight ahead. Because also, I'm a married man. And, you know, nowadays, everybody's always taking pictures, and I've. I've already been caught, you know, staring at titties. There's old pictures of somebody here. I forgot who was here on Breakfast Club. It was a porn star or something, and she was here with all her tatas out.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know, people were talking about J.T. when J.T. came.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When J.T.

[Jess Hilarious]

Came, because, remember, J.T. wasn't wearing a bra and her neck.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wasn'T showing, first of all. That's another thing I don't do. She jt way too young for me. And you know, I like him old, so.

[Jess Hilarious]

But people were saying that why would she wear that if she didn't want people to look? Because she was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't see it, but I didn't even notice that.

[DJ Envy]

But yeah, I will say, even if you're in a turtleneck, if things are there or, or sweatpants as a woman, if things are there, they're there. And I think we don't be bothered if you're looking. It's, it's the, it's the over aggressive advantage. Yeah, don't stare.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

The stairs or the like people call you by certain body parts they looking at. Like, it's just a lot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They call you yo titties, hey fat, this book, yo nip nip.

[DJ Envy]

All fun and games until you outside walking. You never had a New York summer Outside in the street.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hello? Who's this? Hey, Keith. Good morning.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning.

[Jess Hilarious]

How do you feel if you're wearing something revealing and a guy's looking at you? How does it make you feel, mama? So basically immediately you feel that, like.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, I, I know you see what I. I know you unique.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay?

[Jess Hilarious]

But then after that it's kind of like it gets uncomfortable because it's like.

[DJ Envy]

Wait, I don't know this man.

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't think that he deserves to.

[DJ Envy]

See this body part like this what I'm looking into.

[Jess Hilarious]

But I just don't feel like they.

[DJ Envy]

Deserve to see that. What did you do for me to my body part?

[Jess Hilarious]

So like now you have that image of me like forever, for the rest of your life.

[DJ Envy]

And like I can't do anything about that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, they have that image of you because you, you're wearing something that they see like if you. Exactly. Yeah, exactly.

[DJ Envy]

So that's why I was like, you know what?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm not doing this.

[Jess Hilarious]

Y'all don't deserve to see nothing. There you go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't.

[Jess Hilarious]

Homie.

[DJ Envy]

Modest is the way to go for this part.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. Like meth man said, you know, showing 3, 4 of cloth, never showing your stuff off. Boo. Who's that? Was that Nas N man?

[Jess Hilarious]

Britney. Good morning. Hey, shout out to Brooklyn. Britney from Brooklyn. Hey, Britney from Brooklyn. What's your thoughts? My thoughts is we know what we.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Doing when we were really closed. We want that attention.

[Jess Hilarious]

However, for me, I purposely hide myself sometimes when I don't feel like being.

[DJ Envy]

Bothered because it is annoying.

[Jess Hilarious]

It is annoying. But you, you said somebody see that.

[DJ Envy]

If they see that sexy in me.

[Jess Hilarious]

While I don't want to be bothered.

[DJ Envy]

I'm agitated. I don't like it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's like if first of all, you from Brooklyn revealing clothes to you is a Nike tech suit. You know what I mean? Showing off that moose love.

[DJ Envy]

Not in my era.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can't stand the textbook. Not a dirty textbook.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, not in my era. Okay, thank you. 800-585-1051. If you're just joining us with it comes from Zuckerberg allegedly staring at Lauren Sanchez, which is Jeff Bezos fiance. The picture went viral yesterday. We're just asking ladies, when wearing something revealing, are you. Do you mind if a guy stares?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, because they looking at it. Well, they're looking at your assets. Let's discuss this. The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If y'all talking about it, you know we talking about it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion.

[Jess Hilarious]

With the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lorna Roast to fill it in for Jess. If you're just joining us, we're asking 800 for 5851051. This conversation comes from Zuckerberg. You know, he was at the inauguration and it went viral. He was staring, allegedly at Lauren Sanchez's tatas, which is Jeff Bezos fiance.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

One of the stupidest things I saw from that, that that picture was somebody said, that young lady ain't leaving them billions. First of all, she left Bezos from Zuckerberg.

[DJ Envy]

She's good either way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You good either way.

[DJ Envy]

But I think too, like, what the lady just said from Brooklyn when she was like, you know what you're doing when you wear certain stuff. Lauren Sanchez got a lot of flack for the bralette that she had under the suit because they were saying time and place, inauguration. Yeah. And I think that, you know, women do wear certain things, certain places, depending on what you have going on or what you want to accomplish. And that that was another thing as well, too, because kind of like, it's not his fault if, like, they're there. Like, what else is he going to.

[Jess Hilarious]

She said they're there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, that was a little bit crazy, though, because he was sitting right by her and she was by her husband. Like, he was being wild. That was a wild.

[DJ Envy]

He just look over and say, boom.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that's the thing. The stair probably wasn't even as long as the Camera caught it. You know what I'm saying? It probably was like a little quick glance, look down.

[Jess Hilarious]

But let's be honest, he probably stared a couple of times. That was the time the camera caught him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is very true to me.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hello? Who's this?

[DJ Envy]

Hi, this is Tronette.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hey, Tronette, talk to us. Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Good morning.

[Jess Hilarious]

First of all, I want you to.

[DJ Envy]

Know I love all of you guys. All four of you.

[Jess Hilarious]

Lawrence, Charlamagne, you're awesome. Envy, you're awesome.

[DJ Envy]

Guys are great.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

I love how you guys talk about the polyps because I cut the polyp here.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm in the lab.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When we get. When we got our colon colonoscopies.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, oh, oh, yes, yes. I.

[Jess Hilarious]

If there's a specimen, I take it.

[DJ Envy]

I try to put on a microscope slide so that the doctor can look.

[Jess Hilarious]

At it and rule out if it's.

[DJ Envy]

Something cancerous or anything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I didn't have any polyps at all.

[Jess Hilarious]

I had, I think one or two poles.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Early awareness is cute.

[DJ Envy]

You guys are doing a great job with that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you.

[Jess Hilarious]

Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

You're welcome.

[Jess Hilarious]

Now getting to the question.

[DJ Envy]

I want to say that that is incredibly rude. When you're talking to someone, you're being nice. You know, I'm very nice person.

[Jess Hilarious]

I speak to everybody.

[DJ Envy]

So when I talk to people, I would like them to look at me in my face. But you have some people that the eyes move all over the place. You know, that's kind of rude.

[Jess Hilarious]

And I don't even know what to say to them when they say say that.

[DJ Envy]

Do you. I was about to say, do you say it in a moment because I'll say it. I'll be like, you know, my face is up here. I'm gonna start saying it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lauren.

[Jess Hilarious]

But you know, I work around a lot of doctors and stuff, and one of them used to do that all the time on the low key. And I used to be like, I ain't even want to go around the. To talk to him and avoid them all the time. But, you know.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that's awkward. Police. It's very awkward. Well, see, that's what I mean by no matter what you have on, y'all still will look. Because she's not dressing sexually in her work workplace or like exposing in her workplace. But people just look regardless.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why cross eyed people and people with lazy eyes, man. Got it good. Sometimes they don't know what they looking at exactly.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hello? Who's this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey.

[Jess Hilarious]

What's your thoughts?

[DJ Envy]

You if you're not sexy with it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody can be looking.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Like, if. If they not looking, then you're not doing something right.

[Jess Hilarious]

So you saying you dress sexy because you want them to look?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I dress sexy because I'm sexy. Talk that talk.

[Jess Hilarious]

I do it for me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I know people going, look.

[Jess Hilarious]

And you don't mind it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, because they don't compliment me at the end of the day, so I'm doing something right. Audi may not compliment you because they're married. I'm gonna always get complimented.

[Jess Hilarious]

You're right.

[DJ Envy]

You right. You right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Everybody not gonna say something, but at the end of the day, they looking. I mean, I'm doing something right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. Thank you, Joan. Hello? Who's this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, this is Fuel Flipper from Florida. What's going on, man? Here the y'all how I feel, man? I just want to shout out my daughter at home, Z, she's sick right now. My daughter's taking care of her, too. And my hard working, beautiful wife, Sherry, love of my life, man. I just want to let everybody in the world know that.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, now. Now answer the question, brother, and take us off Bluetooth for speaker so we can hear you clearly. Answer the question. What's your thoughts?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My thought is. Is like, you know, girls are revealing clothing all the time. And, you know, if a guy looked, it's not a bad thing because. Because it's like looking at a car, like a Rolls Royce, like, oh, that's nice. You know what I'm saying? If it's, you know, you don't want to drive it, you just look. It catches your attention. You know what I'm saying? Like, there's nothing you could do about it. But there are some weirdos out there who are od, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, that's just how I feel. You got to be respectful about it. And then also, y'all ever had the. The Mac patty from Dad's Deli in New York? It's Matt cheese oxtail on a beef patty. Damn. No, that sound like heart disease.

[Jess Hilarious]

Damn. Sound great, boy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, they right in the Lower east side, man. That's Del Joshua, my cousin, doing it, man. Let me send one up there to y'all. Just one.

[Jess Hilarious]

Just one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm g. Give you three. I'm going give you everything on the menu. My boy going to hook you up. I always be there in an hour. I swear to God. Put you in.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. So what's the moral of the story?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to ask a question to Lauren real quick, though. When women wear revealing clothes, who are they wearing? Who are they wearing it for?

[DJ Envy]

Seriously depend on where you going. Okay, so, like, if you going out with your home girl to, like, the club or whatever you wearing it to, you might be trying to run into somebody, catch something.

[Jess Hilarious]

Not.

[DJ Envy]

Not like a. A.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got gonorrhea outfits, chlamydia outfits. Like, you know what you want.

[DJ Envy]

No, if you going on, like, a date with somebody and you are at the point where you ready for whatever, you might wear something so that that type of energy is. Happens on the date. Yeah, it depends on where you're going, what you're trying to do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

If you. If I know. I know some women who do it when they go in, like, car shop or, you know, I mean, things of that nature. Because then the male salesman, it's very easy to make them just a lot more, like, lenient because they're lost in other things.

[Jess Hilarious]

Gotcha.

[DJ Envy]

It just depends on what you're trying to do it for.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, well, we got just with the mess with Lana Rosa coming up.

[DJ Envy]

We do bad baby. She got a nose job, but people thought that it was her boyfriend putting his hands on her again. We gonna get into it, so it's lot of drama with that.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to just with the Mess with Lauren LaRosa. News is real.

[Morgan]

Hilarious. Jessica Robin Moore.

[Jess Hilarious]

Just don't do no lines.

[DJ Envy]

She don't spare nobody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Know why I met on the Breakfast Club? She's the coach with Lauren. Lauren LaRosa.

[DJ Envy]

I'm back, and I got the mess.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk to me.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, Y'all so bad baby posted this photo yesterday online. And when she posted this photo, right? Your first reaction is like, whoa, what the hell happened? She has two black eyes. Her nose appears to be swollen. People are like, what the heck is going on? So when she posted this photo, fans instantly flocked to her comments and flocked to, like, x fake Twitter and began assuming that she had been abused again by her current boyfriend, the child, her father, a guy named lv, because she had talked about and shared video of them getting into some sort of physical altercation prior, right? She came out and said, y'all, I got a nose job. Please relax. She was just trying to show her update of the nose job. The caption even said, no jobs are not for the week, but of course people didn't pay attention to that. And since she has posted this photo and some updates on her nose job. Like she wanted to show the before and after. She basically got a hump removed off of the top of her nose.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You get black eyes when you get a nose job.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that happened. As soon as I saw it, I was like, did she get like, face work done? Because normally anytime you, you, you mess with anything around your nose structure, your black eyes and swelling happens and that's like typical. But maybe because I used to live in la, I just know there's a lot of girls who do it and it happens all the time. But a lot of people didn't know this. So of course, even right now to this moment, they're still dragging her online. There was domestic abuse, thinking it's domestic abuse, talking about how stupid she is for going back to her ex, I mean, her current boyfriend. And she actually came online to clarify in a video because she was tired of people comment. Let's take a listen.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm literally 21 years old, battling cancer.

[DJ Envy]

Who knows how long I'mma be here for?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You think I'm not gonna get my.

[DJ Envy]

Body in my face, right, and do everything that I want, I wanted to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Do once I found out I had cancer?

[DJ Envy]

First of all, I was so happy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That I was pregnant. I was so happy that I was doing something that I always wanted to do. I always wanted to be a mom.

[DJ Envy]

Same way I always wanted a nose job after I. After I had Cali and my boobs got saggy after breastfeeding for two months. I always wanted my boobs done. Always wanted a fat, always wanted this, always wanted that. I literally am 21 years old, battling cancer.

[Lauren LaRosa]

If you don't think I'mma live my.

[DJ Envy]

Life to the fullest and do everything.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I want to do without a care in the world about what you, you, you, you, you, or the next you.

[DJ Envy]

Got to say about me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'ma do me, like always.

[Jess Hilarious]

She's right. Do whatever the hell you want to do, but you ain't got to explain it to me.

[DJ Envy]

I was about to say, I guess, and I feel it, I guess. But then she gets online and she does stuff like. So after all this, right, she then went online and posted photos of her. This is before the nose job with, like bloody legs, like bruised up legs. And she says to make lv.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got her feet done?

[DJ Envy]

No, she actually got abused in these photos, but not by lv, allegedly. She says that she posted these because she wanted to make lv, who is her current boyfriend, feel a little better because people keep trolling. And now he's arguing with her for sharing her recovery journey and the fact that people are making jokes. She says, he's not the only one who has put hands on me. She alleged that she's only been with three men that she took serious and all of them put hands on her. Maybe she's the problem. And these are supposed to be some of the, the, the scars from those situations. It's just a little bit too much. And maybe it is because she's 21 and she's going through something as serious as cancer and just, you know, I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But she got a lot going on. Definitely sending her healing energy.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so on to the next story. So this is really big breaking news right now. So a few years back, Megan Markle and Prince Harry decided to leave the Royal Family. Yep. When they decided to leave the Royal Family, they claimed two major things. It's a ton of stuff, but two major things. The first thing was that there was rac. Things happening. The baby's skin color was asked about and Meghan Markle was being treated differently because she's a, a mixed race woman, a black woman. Her mom's black. But also they said the way that they're being treated by the paparazzi over there, it was very similar to how Princess Diana was treated. And Prince Harry said, I'm scared that my wife will end up how my mom did. And you guys know Prince Diana famously died in a car crash while trying to escape paparazzi. And he also said, we're going to have children. And, and they, at the time, I think they had their first kid, he didn't feel like his, his kid was safe because paparazzi was doing everything they could to see the baby. They, they left, they went to Canada, then they came here and they moved to la. Right. So there was a last minute settlement just reached today, January 22nd, between Prince Harry and Rupert Murdoch's News Group newspaper. Now, the accusations of this lawsuit that was filed back in 2019, I believe was that the News News Group newspaper spied and they were very predatory in the ways that they went about getting news about Maggot Marco and Prince Harry. So the settlement that they reached today was, was set, it was met only one day after trial. They did not provide an exact dollar amount of how much they reached, but it had to be a pretty good payout. And the terms were that the News Group situ. The News Group people had to give a full apology to Prince Harry for hacking into his mobile phone phone, encroaching on his life, while also admitting that one of its tabloids, the sun, recruited private investigators to commit illegal acts. Right now, this is, to me, extremely scary because if you go that far, it's like, who else knows about what we don't know happened? And a part of the settlement, right. For them to not go further in court was we don't have to dig into that. So now anybody from this news group doesn't have to get on the stand and talk about everything else they've done, done be asked questions so that we could really find out what else they did to get these stories.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I can't believe that they even had to prove that these news outlets are predatory. I mean, number one, if you got paparazzi chasing folks down, you, Lauren, call sources every damn day.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, but I. Don't do this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just saying.

[DJ Envy]

But.

[Jess Hilarious]

But they were suing. That's the reason why.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But that's what I'm saying. I can't believe they even had to prove it. Of course these news outlets are predatory.

[DJ Envy]

But let me tell you, they also had, in addition, the media organization expressed remorse for interfering in the life of the late Princess Diana, who I told you guys earlier mentioned was killed in 1997 car crash. So they're admitting to even being, you know what I mean, a part of. Not that exact. Those exact group of paparazzi, but having somewhat. Something to do with the way that she was feeling and being hunted down. And they did have to prove it because everybody called them liars. I don't know if y'all remember liars.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. I don't know how they could be called liars when you. When we see it.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? Like, we visibly see it with our own eyes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They may not think they're predatory, but they definitely, definitely are.

[DJ Envy]

This is a bit crazy. It's a win for Megan, Marco and Prince Harry, though. They're vindicated somewhat. All right, Mom's not here, but at least they have this.

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, that's just with the Mess with Lauren LaRosa. Now let's get to the People's Choice mix. Get your request in. Let me know what you want to hear. 800-585-1051 is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
