The holiday rush. Parents hauling luggage. Kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged. Terrorism. Listen to the new season of law and criminal justice System on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Short on time, but big on true crime. On a recent episode of the podcast Hunting for Answers, I highlighted the story of 19 year Lachey Dungey. But she never knocked on that door. She never made it inside. And that text message would be the last time anyone would ever hear from her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This man is on some type of coke or something. What is happening?

[DJ Envy]

Why people got to be on cocaine? Why we just can't be happy to be alive?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cuz you don't be like this every day. In fact, you'd be much like Grumpy in the morning telling everybody they back big everything. Telling everybody, reminding everybody to put on deodorant. This is not usually you. I like this.

[DJ Envy]

Well, that mean the big back person and the musty people ain't here. That's all that means. Wow. Wow.

[DJ Envy]

What's happening? He rapping Ghost Face Killer. I ain't ran into the big back musty people yet, but today is a good day. We got a special announcement later on this morning. Oh, here on the Breakfast Club. Okay. Yes, I got a special announcement. Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I noticed?

[DJ Envy]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, okay, so I had to fire a couple people, right? Again, I'm doing. Yes. Oh, my gosh. I know good help is hard to find. I know y' all can relate, but I realize, yo, I've been doing the packaging and the handling, like with messy vision. And man, I haven't done this in years. And it. I just want to let y' all know I appreciate y' all so much and y' all better appreciate me. I. These glasses are hand inspected everything because, you know, you expect them. Because I don't want to buy this in the back. Oh, this had a nick in them. Oh, it was scuffed and all that.

[DJ Envy]

I had, you know, you could call, they could come to the crib, UPS will come to the crib, pick up all your boxes. You ain't got to go to UPS every day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you so much. Did not know that.

[DJ Envy]

I'm more interested in knowing why you fired people. Because I'm always interested in that. Because you fire people for silly reasons.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I do not find people for silly reasons. No, people take advantage of me. When you hire family, yo, that's like some of the worst people to work with. Yo, you got uncomfortable. That's that. That's. That was my mistake in the past. Keep firing and hiring. Oh, because they family and they know how to get. You know, they know how to. You know, I got soft spot for family, but. Nah, I do it myself. I do it myself for the time.

[DJ Envy]

Being until Marley gets.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not ready working hard.

[DJ Envy]

No, I'm not. Don't play with me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, but Ashton. Ashton has been helping me though. I can't. I can't just. You pay all to myself. Yeah, I pay him. No, I haven't paid him yet. I'm not gonna lie. I haven't paid him yet. But, y', all, it has been a lot. So thank y', all, Breakfast Club listeners, for getting your messy vision. Y', all, y', all, y' all working me. We fulfilled 117 orders yesterday. That's hard. People are buying six pair of glasses. Some people buying eight pair of glasses. Like, you know, this 20 off promo code wake is. Is cleaning me up. So this is good. Okay, I'm good. It's just hard. So I'm tired. I couldn't even go to Claudia's movie premiere last night.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Claudia Jordan and Erica Cobb will be joining us this morning. They have a new movie. She has a new movie out called Run Run that's on prime video and Apple TV. Well, it comes out August 29th. August 29th. Yeah. And then they have a new podcast. It's called Accidentally Informed. So we're gonna be talking to Claudia Jordan and Erica Cob, and we are not responsible for anything that comes out of Claudia Jordan's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, we are not.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. Yes. Okay. Yes. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news, so don't go anywhere. Morgan to be here in a second. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Morgan?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning. Good morning. How we feeling on a Tuesday? Feeling good, girl. Good. All right. I love to hear it. So let's get into it. President Trump wants the Justice Department to go after those who burn the American flag. Now, this comes as multiple videos are surfacing online of people, people burning the American flag in protest, which is legal, by the way. I'll get into that. President Trump signed an order, an executive order on Monday ordering Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute those who violate existing flag desecration law. Desecration laws. Now, President Trump said burning flags leads to riots and they must crack down. Let's take a listen to President Trump's comments.

[DJ Envy]

Perhaps much more important, it's called death. Because what happens when you burn a flag is the area goes crazy. It incites riots at levels that we've never seen before. People go crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So the executive order calls on the DOJ to pursue litigation to clarify the scope of the First Amendment relating to flag desecration. Now, Trump is demanding that flag burners get at least a minimum of one year in jail. The Supreme Court ruled in 1989 that flag burning as a part of political protest is protected under the First Amendment. Now, you can't use a flag to light your grill, but you can certainly burn One in protest only.

[DJ Envy]

I always wondered, you know, why that was. I mean, I understand it's free speech, but it's just like I always wondered, why would you can want to do that if you are an American, if you're a patriot, you know what I mean? If you consider yourself a patriot, like, why would you want to burn the American flag?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Maybe you're protesting policies in your country. I mean, this happened to a man outside of the White House the other day. He was arrested for burning a flag. Not so much because the flag was burning, but because you're not allowed to light fires on federal.

[DJ Envy]

You want, you want, you want the country to actually be better, and you want the country to, you know, that that flag symbolizes what that country stands for. You want that, and you want that country to actually stand up for that flag and stand up for the creed that it puts out there. That's what you actually want, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. I'm not sure, you know, a lot of protests, you know, leave us wondering why did we protest that way? But, you know, they're not going to get too much.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know, it just reminds me of, like, when people, you know, burn the jerseys of their favorite players. That's crazy. But you still love the team. Yeah. You still love your country, right? You would think, but, you know, it's weird. And then if you burn a flag in any other country, you're going to jail. You could be killed going, you know. Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah, absolutely. All right. So meanwhile, President Trump is also looking to put an end to cashless bail across the country. He signed an executive order on Monday that threatens to withhold federal funding if cities do not end the policy. Let's take a listen to those comments.

[DJ Envy]

And I mean, they kill people and they get out cashless bail. They thought it was discriminatory to make people put up money because they just killed three people lying on the street.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So Trump signed an executive order separate from Washington, D.C. of course, that's a municipality different from states. And this, this comes as the White House has moved to deploy armed National Guard troops to fight crime in the District. And for those who don't know, cashless bail is an option before trial that allows defendants to be released from jail without having to pay a monetary bond. Now, a judge will decide case by case whether to release that defendant based on their potential danger to the public or their risk to flee or flight.

[DJ Envy]

And that's, and that's a big thing, especially, especially New York, New Jersey area. A lot of these judges and police officers saying their hands are tied behind their back when it comes to it. So these. These people, or whoever it is, criminals are committing crimes, and they're coming right out the next day, right? Because there is cashless bailing, and they do the crime over. And they do the crime over. So a lot of these people rearresting have been arrested 3, 4 times and spending no time in jail and not even going to their court date. So that is a problem. That. That is a huge problem. I don't know how you fix it. I don't know if cashless bail necessarily is the exact way, but it has to be fixed because these criminals are repeat offenders, and they keep doing the same thing because there is no punishment.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, that's your front page news for 6am Y' all stick around at 7. We'll get more into this Trump takeover. He seems to be wanting to come to these other cities, so we'll talk more about that. Stick around.

[DJ Envy]

All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. Call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlemagne. What up?

[DJ Envy]

We can start from the beginning, please. Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was saying, I'm tired of these white people who keep trying to touch my hair in the workplace. I had someone come all the way over to my desk and try to put her hands in my hair. I have sisterlocks. They're not braids, they're not twists. And I literally looked at her and said, what are you doing? And she goes, oh, I just. You had one piece out of place.

[DJ Envy]

But I know you're not supposed to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Touch black women's hair, but then why are you doing it?

[DJ Envy]

I didn't realize white people were still doing it. And if she. If you had a place, if you had a hair out of place, she should have just told you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely. Exactly. You walked all the way over to my desk instead of just saying, hey, you gotta. You gotta pee. You know what you should do? You should be like, I would put my hands through your hair. But I hear you guys have lice.

[DJ Envy]

You should do that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And she'll never, ever touch her hair again. She'll never even walk over to your desk.

[DJ Envy]

Damn, you right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're right. I heard it's a little greasy. I heard it's a little greasy. Yeah, but say lice. Oh, girl, they hate that. That's like saying roaches for us. Say, say. Oh, yeah, I heard you guys have lies. Next time I say life. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Say, I hope you can fight desire. That's all I'm gonna say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, my mom's from Brooklyn, so you know, I got a little bit in me.

[DJ Envy]

What that means. First of all, I hate when people do that. Your city can't fight for you. I hate when people say I'm from Brooklyn. Brooklyn, like as Brooklyn can make you fight better. That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, it can.

[DJ Envy]

You know what I'm saying? Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Chicago.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, yes.

[DJ Envy]

And her mother is from. Somebody from Missouri will beat y' all ass. You know what I'm saying? Chicago, Compton. Thank you, Ziya.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you guys so much. Thank you. Have a great day.

[DJ Envy]

One of them grass fed people from Kansas. That's 63270. Naturally will whip y' all ass. Talking about. I'm from Brooklyn, Baltimore, Chicago. Man, shut up. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest Whether you're mad or blessed I hate the way that you walk the way that you talk I hate the way that you dress Everything with me is blessed. Call up now, 800-585-1051. Not just me, I'm with the culture feeling. Hello, who's this? This is Percy from Houston. Percy from Houston, what's up? Talk to us. I really didn't understand the conversation about the flag burning today. So in this country, it's a Protestant country. The reason why free speech is available to us by Constitution. So we can't restrict free speech in any way. And when somebody says they want to put you in jail for flag burning, that's a violation of that. Charlemagne made the comment. I agree, but what I was saying is I understand free speech. Of course I'm all for free speech, but it's just wild to burn the flag. But then use the Constitution to say you can burn the flag. Because burning the flag mean you don't give a damn about America. So if you don't give a damn about America, you shouldn't care about the Constitution either. Yeah, it depends on if you've had dogs checked on you or had water hoses put on you. I may not give a damn about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The country after that.

[DJ Envy]

So I have a right to express myself. So whenever you made the comment in other countries that you'll get life for burning a flag, that's why we are here to begin with. This is not a dictatorship. I agree with you, but think about what you. I agree with you, but listen to what you're saying. If you believe in democracy, if you believe in the Constitution, if you believe, why would you burn, you know what that flag, you know what that flag has stood for in the past. You know the story behind it more than anybody. Let's be real. We can't have it both ways. I'm, I'm. Listen, I'm with you, but I still don't see what's the point of burning the flag but then still pointing to the Constitution and democracy. Because. Because. Because in a police state, sometimes that may be your only form of protest. We have police everywhere. We got cameras everywhere watching us. So it may be a bigger statement to burn the flag at that moment. It has nothing to do with my patriotism. It has something to do with I'm bringing attention to, period. Well, I think so. For the president to tell me that I can't do something in this country means he's a dictator. I'm not. Otherwise, the Constitution doesn't matter. Whoa, whoa. I'm not agreeing with what the president is doing. I'm just simp saying, let's look at all sides of it, because the American flag represents a symbol of freedom, and we want this country to uphold that freedom that it promises. So it's just weird to burn the flag but then still point to the Constitution, democracy and freedom and say, that's what we want. Yeah, well, you didn't say don't burn the flag or you should go to jail for burning the flag or you should get arrested for burning the flag. That's not what you said. It just seemed like a contradiction. If you're going to point the democracy, if you're going to point the Constitution, if we want this country to uphold our freedom, why would you burn the flag? Jermaine. What's up, brother? What's up, DJ Envy? What's up, child? The man. What's up, Jess?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey. Hey.

[DJ Envy]

All right. So, yeah, I was listening to y' all this morning, and I heard the conversation about no cash bail, about y' all speaking on Trump, and Trump has said that they're letting people out there committing, like, murders and everything. I'm from Champaign, Illinois, and that's not true. Trust me. Believe me, I mean out here in Champtown, you know, I'm pretty sure y' all know well I'm living at what I'm talking about out. Like I have seen, let me see. Men or young men get caught with switches. The guns that got the switches on them, they are not letting them back out. They gonna keep them until whatever come they trial or sense a day come, that's where they'll be. They'll remain locked up. We just had a guy that just got killed over the weekend by two guys. Guess what? Both new two guys are locked up and they gonna stay locked up until their trial date. Okay. Yeah, but when they said, when I was talking about the cash, the cash bail system, that's why I said New York, New Jersey, these states, if you have a misdemeanor or a non violent felony, meaning somebody run up your crib and there's no gun, but they run up in your crib, there's a cashless bond. Illinois became the first state to eliminate cash bail. So it depends on the different states of where they do in the cashless bail. But maybe not in your state, but there's a lot of other states there is cashless bail where people are committing crimes and coming right back out and doing the same thing over and over again. I can understand where that can be needed, but I also can see the other, the other side of it coming from someone like myself. Yeah, I've been to jail before, but I also been to jail on petty cases that they would, would Jackie give you a high bail for a high bar for when it, when it's not even called for. And then you would get someone, let's say like there's somebody here. What do you of ideas? You get one of these college students who, who go to jail and let's say it'll be a serious case, they would get released on their own recognition. Right. Put it like that. So you know they wouldn't have to post a bail. They'll just release on their own recordings. When you have people who is residents out here and they'll just give him a high bun just cause you probably not a college student or they probably look at you as just because you are black. Put it like that. You know what I mean? Yeah, I think everybody, you know, everybody needs to think about like cases like Khalif Broder, you know what I'm saying? And the reason they aim to reduce cash bail was because of cases like that. You know, for misdemeanors and non violent offenses. You know that brother spent over Three years on Rikers Island, a lot of it in solitary confinement, you know, just because he couldn't afford that bail. Yeah, like I said, Cassidy's bail. I'm not saying end it, but they gotta come up with a better way to do this, because like you said, Kalief Browder was a gentleman who shouldn't have been in there. He shouldn't have been in there. But then there's a bunch of people that commit crimes, come right back out. You hear it all the time. He just got a gun charge a week ago, came right out, and then wound up killing a cop or wind up killing a lady down the street. So it happens a lot. They just got to figure a better way to decide how to do this. Because I thought it was based on the offense, though. Maybe not. I don't know. Sometimes they get out so fast, and it's. That's. That's what a lot of people are saying, that when they arrest these criminals, they come right back out. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got the latest with Lauren coming up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We do another Lil Nas update, but this time he's free, though. But his dad is saying drugs were not the reason for any of this.

[DJ Envy]

His dad said that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

His dad said that Lil Nas X does not do drugs.

[DJ Envy]

I cannot wait to hear this. All right, I knew this was a stunt.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think.

[DJ Envy]

I think I can't wait to hear it. We'll do it when we come back. When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. I hate this place. I love it here. That has nothing to do with here at all. All right, well, let's get to the latest with Laura.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lauren becoming a straight fan.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

[DJ Envy]

She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. What was the latest on the Breakfast Club? LL Cool Bay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning, y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's up, girl? So Lil Nas X is free. He bonded out yesterday. He paid $75,000. Well, that was what the bond was said was $75,000. But this all came after a small hearing, his arraignment, where him and his lawyer had to talk to a judge. Now, his lawyer also said yesterday, because I opened this in the tease, his dad said that there was no drugs involved here. Right. His lawyer in court Also spoke to the judge about this, about no drugs and how that even came up. Let's take a listen to his attorney in court. That's correct, but we just don't know whether that was actually factually accurate or just some officer's hunch that was uncorroborated. We don't know what happened.

[DJ Envy]

I'm assuming they.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They drew blood or tested him. So at some point we find out that right now there's nothing in the record that drugs were even a part of this. And so this is just an aberrant episode. And in an otherwise productive life, to call his life productive I think would be an understatement. I think it's. It's a remarkable life.

[DJ Envy]

Well, the officer probably used the wrong word. What he probably wanted to say is, man, somebody out here high as hell. As opposed to overdose. Well, yeah, well, they're saying there was no drugs involved. All right, that's what they're saying from the reports. Did they take blood? Did they check or. No, they didn't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So that's what the attorney. I'm assuming if he went. Remember he went to a hospital first and then he was taken over to a jail. So if he went to a hospital, I'm assuming that's what the attorney is saying. Had to be some blood work or something done. So wherever this hunch or whatever she's alleging the officers leaned on to make that assumption, there something more will come from this where they can then have a found conversation on it. But as.

[DJ Envy]

So he wasn't high. Yes, so, but, but mental breakdown hasn't been ruled out, has it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She just said it was an episode. Okay, okay. Now I will say he pled not guilty. He is being charged. So they. They up the charges. He is now being charged with four felonies, including battery with injury on a police officer because they say that when they. When the officers confronted Lil Nas, he charged the officers and at least three of them were allegedly injured. Hence the three felony charges. Now I want you guys to hear the 911 audio from when they approached little Nas X because there was force used a bit, including a taser. Let's take a Listen. It's 415 man. Linkersham and Ventura. Linkerson and Ventura suspect lasting walking towards universal. Suspect, male, black, completely nude, walking in the middle of the road. It's code 3, incident 0793rd 1585 handle identify 415 man.

[DJ Envy]

News running to the officers youth force.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Foreign custody east of Lankersham. 15 all 40. They're requesting for a use of force.

[DJ Envy]

Roger, one. Can you send a backup on my screen?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get RA for a male, approximately 40 years of age.

[DJ Envy]

Are they tased his ass?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, for what it sounds like, yes.

[DJ Envy]

Suspect is charging at us backwards ass first. I repeat, suspect is charging at us backwards ass first.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

After all this, you still don't think it's real?

[DJ Envy]

No, I think it's a stunt gone wrong.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I want. I want you guys to also take a listen to his dad, who was outside of the courthouse talking about the no drug thing as well. And then Drew Finley, who's also one of his attorneys, who talks about Lil Nas X being under some pressure. Let's take a listen to Lil Nas.

[DJ Envy]

X's dad as he talks about what happened on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

On Thursday. No, I think you all know everything.

[DJ Envy]

That you need to know about what happened Thursday. Absolutely not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Any message to the fans that are concerned about him right now?

[DJ Envy]

He's in good spirit. He's all right. He's very remorseful for what happened, you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Know, but it can happen in any family.

[DJ Envy]

He's going to get the help that he needs and just keep him in your prayers. Give him the same grace and mercy that God give everyone.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How is he doing mentally?

[DJ Envy]

I know a lot of people. He's doing great mentally. He's doing great mentally. He's doing great mentally.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What was that first conversation like with him?

[DJ Envy]

It's awesome. You know, we shed tears, shed laughter. But he's in great spirit. God, like I said, God is good, you know, all the time. And all the time God is good, you know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do you think's the first thing that he's gonna do when he comes out?

[DJ Envy]

Give God all the glory. I agree with giving God all the glory, but if he's not on drugs and if he's doing well mentally, then what happens?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, exactly. Why would you charge at the police? You're not under any influence. You just out here, four cops.

[DJ Envy]

What happened?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It seems to me, and they haven't said it specifically, that they're going to lean into him having a mental episode.

[DJ Envy]

He just said he's doing. He just said he's doing fine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He could be doing fine mentally today, but not that day. Yes, that's what it's. Because Drew Finland later on. There's a clip of Drew Finland and Drew Finland. It's like really brief, but he says, we're going to make sure he gets the help that he needs. Lil Nas X is under a lot of pressure because of who he is. All of that lines up to I wonder if it was a episode.

[DJ Envy]

I wonder if they tested him at the hospital. Because it's not just the him, you know, running at the police and getting Tased, running backwards, as Charlamagne would say. But just think about it. He's walking down the street and what he's saying. We've seen people like this before and usually there is some type of outside substance involved with it. Right. Not saying that this is. I don't know if he was tested.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Or not, a mental disorder.

[DJ Envy]

Correct.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But if he's fine and he. You know what I mean? And then also you under pressure because you. Lorna's ex. But, like, I don't. I don't understand how that, like, basically saying, like, because he's trying to beat.

[DJ Envy]

His old record, because of his pressure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All of his fans, there's a lot of pressure on him, but they're going to make sure that he has the support and resources he needs there. To me, and I've. I've reached out to Drew Finland. Hey, Drew Finland. If you're listening, I've called him a couple times because I was trying to be able to indefinitely to definitely say that, but they didn't definitely say it. From everything I watched that this was a mental episode. But everything that they said tracked with. That's where they're gonna.

[DJ Envy]

It's still a court case too, so they're not gonna tell you everything. You know, they still gonna wait for court. They don't care about the court of public opinion. They wanna make sure this brother stay out of jail, especially now that he got four serious charges. But I stand on what I. I feel. I feel. I think this is a stunt gone wrong and it's going to work in his favor because people have sympathy and empathy for him at this moment. So let's see if people support his music. But if it was. But if it was a stunt going wrong, would you go to the point of getting tased? You don't know you're gonna get tased. He's running.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You said he's running at.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know what that was about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because of the pressure. You chose to go outside at 4am in some boots that you hopped in and some.

[DJ Envy]

And walk down the street. I think he mean the pressure of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

His career, his industry, it was too much for him to handle mentally. He just broke you. Oh, okay.

[DJ Envy]

And you know you ain't been popping in a while, right? And the last stunt before this was what, the Satan thing?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's the last thing I remember.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because that was the blood and the Satan thing and yeah, all of that. So to God be the glory.

[DJ Envy]

I agree.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You better do is pray and thank God. Let's take a listen real quick as we wrap up. I want y' all to hear the pressure thing from Drew.

[DJ Envy]

See, I thought you want to hear the taser thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, let's hear Drew Finland real quick.

[DJ Envy]

Don't forget he's 26 years old. So it's not unusual for something like this to happen, particularly when you have the pressure of being recognized internationally like him. And so we're going to do our best to address these things. And the best way to do that is just get the team and surround.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Him with a team of people.

[DJ Envy]

You can see how much his dad cares and his family cares and we're just getting this like outpouring of love and support for him. It's really unbelievable. I just feel bad that we live in a world where I feel like this is a stunt, where I feel like I can't even believe that this is a real situation. Yes, people have real mental breakdowns all the time. People really do, you know, get high out of their mind and do wild stuff all of the time. But this just feels like a stunt gone wrong.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Nobody heard the fact that they said that when he was tasing. They said it was a 40 year old man and he's only 26. Yeah, I didn't hear that. I heard that. I didn't realize they were talking about him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. Damn.

[DJ Envy]

But he definitely don't look 40.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He Tall, but he, if this, if this is what he wanted and he wanted to see like if people really loved him, I hope this helps him out because it is. A lot of people does have sympathy and empathy for him. So if this is what he needed, and you know, you may need that because you so young and because you feel like it is a lot of pressure, you got to keep up and you start he start. He blew up even younger than now.

[DJ Envy]

Yep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And he's 26. So if this, if this is what he needed, I'm glad he got it.

[DJ Envy]

I actually would have believed it if they told me he was high. If they was like, yo, he was high out of his mind. And you know, I'd be like, okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That'S why when I saw that everybody's dad and his dad said that, clearly I played it back. I'm like, wait, so y' all just took that off the table completely. I mean, but even not for us, for court as well, because we don't.

[DJ Envy]

Know if he has an endorsement or sponsorship that they don't want to lose. Say he was on drugs. So I'm sure it'll play out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Also, we. They haven't talked anything about what happened when he went to the hospital, like what tests were ran, like indefinitely, so. And in the video, he did look very scared behind that door when I.

[DJ Envy]

Said that, like the highest going.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, he looked like a kid at that point.

[DJ Envy]

He looked concerned. He like, God damn, I done got myself.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wait till he see the video. Look at him. He gonna be like. Because I'm imagining he probably.

[DJ Envy]

There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently the explosion actually impelled metal glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged. And it was here to stay. Terrorism, law and criminal justice system is back. In season two, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight that's harder to predict and even harder to stop. Listen to the new season of law and criminal justice System on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Hunter, host of Hunting for Answers on the Black Effect Podcast Network. Join me every weekday as I share bite sized stories of missing and murdered black women and girls in America. There are several ways we can all do better at protecting black women. My contribution is shining a light on our missing sisters and amplifying their disregarded stories. Stories like Tamika Anderson. As she drove toward Galvez, she was in contact with several people talking on the phone as she made her way to what should have been a routine transaction. But Tameka never bought the car and she never returned home that day. One podcast, one mission. Save our girls. Join the search as we explore the chilling cases of missing and murdered black women and girls. Listen to Hunting for for answers every weekday on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford, and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Afia and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health and the ways we heal. Guys, I think hair is a complex language, language system, right? In terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, your spiritual beliefs. But I think with social media there's like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair, right? That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel is how our hair is styled. We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our communities, the pressure to always look put together and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela Neal Barnett, where we dive into managing flight anxiety.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, that is the latest with Lauren. When we come back, we got front page news. Morgan will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's Tuesday.

[DJ Envy]

DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. What's up, Morgan?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, let's do it. So today marks 13 days since a murder in Washington, D.C. after President Trump's deployment of federal troops to the city. Now, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller praised the efforts on Fox News Monday. Let's take a listen to his comments.

[DJ Envy]

President Trump has literally set the people of Washington, D.C. free. They're so happy now that they can just go out and live their lives, go to their favorite restaurant, go to their favorite bar, go to the favorite pool hall, go to the favorite park. But I would say to the mayor of all these Democrat cities like Chicago, what you are doing to your own citizens is evil. Subjecting your own citizens to this constant bloodbath and then rejoicing in it is evil.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So D.C. police told the Washington Post in March that the Nation's capital went 16 days without a murder, calling it the longest period in Atlanta least six years. Meanwhile, the D.C. police union is touting a drop in crime since the arrival of the National Guard. Compared to the 14 days prior to the federal control, robbery is down 42% and violent crime is down 25%. So that's what's happening regarding the takeover in Washington, D.C. meanwhile, Illinois Democratic Governor J.B. pritzker says the National Guard is not needed in Chicago. This comes after learning Trump may send the National Guard troops to the state of Illinois. Let's take A listen to J.B. pritzker.

[DJ Envy]

Today. We are standing here united in public in front of the cameras, unafraid to tell the president that his proposed actions will make our jobs harder and the lives of our residents worse. There is no emergency in Chicago that calls for armed military intervention. Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Chicago.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So Governor Pritzker says it would be illegal and unconstitutional to send troops, and he believes Trump is only trying to intimidate his political rivals. Again, the Washington Post reported the Pentagon has been planning a military deployment to Chicago for weeks. Pritzker says he's never been contacted by the White House and learned of the possibility of the National Guard deployment through the Washington Post. Can you imagine learning things that's supposed to happen in your city as the governor or the mayor is through a tweet or a post? That's crazy. But this comes as President Trump is ordering the Defense Department to create National Guard units specifically trained to deal with public order issues. Now, Monday's executive order comes as the president continues to float the idea of using military to using the military to enforce law and order in American cities. Now, one of those other cities mentioned outside of New York, Chicago was Baltimore, where Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it's clear to him why the administration is targeting certain places and not others. Basically, it's because we black. And he adds that Baltimore is not opposed to the help. They just need the right resources going to the right places. Let's take a Listen to Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott. Hey, Baltimore, we said very clearly that.

[DJ Envy]

We want additional agents for our FBI, atf, DEA to work alongside our police officers on their predetermined things that they do every day, which they sign up to do. And that's go after people who are trafficking guns, drugs and doing violence in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Our city, not to just be roaming around. Yeah, I know, that's right. Shout out to my man and look real quick. I just want to, you know, interrupt and say, how about them birds, man? Listen, I know we in the preseason, but the Ravens whipped the Cowboys ass last week. I ain't even see nothing about that. And your commanders, Morgan, I'm sorry. 30 to 3. No, don't be. Don't apologize. This is where I choose up. This is why I don't deserve. I don't. I'm not going to stress over them commanders.

[DJ Envy]

Are you kidding me?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is why I told you, three is crazy. Although it's a preseason game and people say it don't count, whatever, whatever.

[DJ Envy]

But it don't count.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It don't matter.

[DJ Envy]

Cuz the Giants won two. But it don't count because sometimes they put the second string and third string in. It don't count. All right, you right, but anytime you beat the Cowboys, I support you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean? We whoop ass. Last.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, just back to Mayor Brandon Scott. Mayor Brandon Scott.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't flock around and find out. Around and find out.

[DJ Envy]

Mayor Brandon Scott should be a model for a lot of people around the country because he is using the resources, resources he is getting from the state of Maryland and putting them back into, you know, initiatives, initiatives in the community. And that is what is causing the crime rate to go down in Baltimore.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

And, and you know, once again, you know, just the crime, Crime reduction doesn't mean there's no crime. I think that's where a lot of this messaging, you know, gets confusing for people. Just because you say crime is going down doesn't even necessarily mean things are safe, but it means that progress is being made and things are getting better. That's what it, that's what it means.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I think it is also important to note that, you know, D.C. and what's happening in D.C. is permitted right now because of the Home Rule act. When it comes to National Guard troops in states, the. I believe it's the governor that has to deploy the National Guard, which is why Wes Moore of Maryland said he's not going to do it. And of course you heard JB Pritzker basically saying that he's not going to do it as well. Well, DC Operates a little bit different. So this is why Trump is able to do what he's doing here in Washington, D.C. with the National Guard, because of the Home Rule act, and that does not apply to states. So when it comes to the National Guard, state leaders are the ones who would make that deployment. Now, it's. I'm not sure because, you know, I. I will sit here and say, oh, this is illegal, and that's illegal. But we. We see that this administration tends to do what they want to do, and they're going to deal with it on the back end in court. So. But that's your front page news. And I'm Morgan Wood. Y' all can follow me on socials at morganmedia.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Thank you, Morgan. Now, when we come back, Claudia Jordan and Erica Cobb will be joining us. They're the new host of Accidentally Informed, and Claudia is also promoting her new movie run. We'll talk to them next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's DJ Envy.

[DJ Envy]

Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren La Rosa is here as well, and we got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. We got Claudia Jordan. She's back. Welcome back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, good to be back.

[DJ Envy]

Erica Cobb, host of the Accidentally Informed podcast. Welcome, ladies.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good to see you, fam. What's up, y'? All? Good morning. How are you? I'm tired. I haven't had sleep in a few weeks. Oh, yeah?

[DJ Envy]

Why?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cause I'm, like, really busy. We're doing this podcast. I got a movie coming out.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So a lot. A lot going on. Amazing.

[DJ Envy]

So where do we start? You wanna start the podcast? The movie? Yeah. Okay. Podcast.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Claudia got a lot going on.

[DJ Envy]

Good, good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what's up. Accidentally Informed. Yes. The name is great for the timing of everything that happened in the media right now. How did you guys come up with the name and why? Erica came to Dallas to reach out to me, and she. She said, you know, when people say, I need to talk to you about something, that automatically triggers me. I'm like, what did I do? And then she's like, no, I have a proposal I want to do. I want to work with you. And it just came about. And the Accidentally Informed title is about. You know, we. We kind of focus on politics a lot in like social issues. But no one wants to hear that. So I want it to be entertaining, where you are accidentally informed in the process of being entertained. Yeah. I think there was this clip that when I was doing my daytime talk show at Daily Blast Live that went viral about people at the top, collaborate people at the bottom. And I thought that that was just a platitude that most people understood, but I thought that this was a really great time to put that in action. My manager, shout out to Giselle, said to me, you know, you had Claudia on your podcast. Because I do come back as well, and you guys have such great banter. And I was like, yeah, because we have very similar backstories. She did radio as well. We both hosted television shows, and we have very diverse demographics for being two black women. And so working with her, it just all kind of accidentally came together. But it's been great. And she's so well spoken.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, she is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's the classy one. And y' all know me classy, too.

[DJ Envy]

Get a balance. Ratchet righteous.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exactly. I'm the who gets in trouble a lot, though. You know what I mean? Like, I've been canceled, like, 20 times.

[DJ Envy]

That's fun, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And even with her being ratchet righteous, did you ever think about it? Like, oh, my gosh, I don't know. Did you have any hesitation, or were you just, like, all in with it? You know, I have spent my entire career in ensembles from radio to television, and no one ever has a problem with diversity when it comes to gender or socioeconomics or race. But for some reason, when we talk about two black women in the same space, that tends to bring up some issues, internalized issues that many like to talk about. Sorry, Wait, what did you just say so I can get smart to him? I said.

[DJ Envy]

I said, wow. You wasn't paying attention to her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I have a real thing happening right now.

[DJ Envy]

My mom.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I have a real thing happening right now. It is no disrespect to you. I have a life thing happening right now.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But please, because I just need a reason to get.

[DJ Envy]

If you need to handle your life, you just have to step out if you need to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not yet. I might have to in, like, 10 minutes. Okay, well, sending you love. Thank you. Just for everything to work out.

[DJ Envy]

Don't send her no love after. She wasn't listening to you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. There's a reason why we want someone in here who doesn't pay attention or care or listen to black women. Typically him. He just happened to catch. Are you not listening? I Will say, this man go back so many years. So much so that he calls me C Murder. That's a nickname from, like, MySpace, right. I text him the other day saying that I have a huge movie coming. I would love to invite him. What he do? He hit me with the don't really know you. I never got. He never returned my.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't see you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You kind of got little Holly. He got Hollywood on me.

[DJ Envy]

You got the right number, cuz. He changed his number so much.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you change your number?

[DJ Envy]

Not give me. I have not changed my number.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charlamagne. I have go way back.

[DJ Envy]

Wow, look at them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So the. Like you were saying. No, I think it's a really. It's an important time for these conversations. It's an important time to really, like, check ourselves. What is it about what's happening in society right now that we're so much harder on ourselves than anyone else could be. So I just think that this has been the perfect opportunity for us to work together. She kind of, when she goes left, she brings me a little bit with her, and then I can, like, bring her a little bit with me on the side. And we just respect that balance.

[DJ Envy]

I love the balance. Why y' all choose to do the show live, which I think is great. I think that's like. That's something that a lot of podcasts are gonna start doing live, you know, rendition renditions of it. But why live all the time?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The energy is just different when you go live. You know what I mean? And also, like, we want to be more interactive with the listeners, you know, I mean, like, see what they're saying and kind of respond in real time. Time what they're saying. I. I've always loved to go live.

[DJ Envy]

That makes you feel like you're on the radio.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It does, absolutely. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Now, Claudia, you're gonna be around to do this because you go everywhere. Like, is she gonna be in one spot to tape this weekly live? She said no. No. Okay. All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. And Claudia is seriously. That was another reason why I wanted to work with her. She. When she says she's gonna do something, she's gonna do it. And I think that a lot of. Especially for people who are in the creat creative spaces, you're looking around at people around you thinking, we have a really. We have the chemistry. We have something great. But you need somebody who is going to work as hard as you're going to work. And she'll worker.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's a producer at heart and a talent. And I told her, like, I have a production company. Comeback TV Presents is our production company. I was like, we will wrap ourselves around you in order to amplify what you do so well. And she's the star of our show, to be quite honest. Like, she is. And then I. I play for. And I love doing that. She's a good friend. She really is.

[DJ Envy]

So what's the topics for this week? Like, what would y' all be discussing this week?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, this started after the election, so it was definitely catered to. The 92%.

[DJ Envy]

Got you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So that was kind of like, the spirit of it. So it could be anything. Like, that relationship. It could be politics. It could be hot topics. It's a little bit of everything. Kind of like the View, I guess. And what you guys. Guys do as well, similar, you know, like, it's just good conversations. I found, like, when we were doing it, we were recording it before doing Evergreen, that didn't resonate because people. At the end of the day, people say they want elevated conversations, but it's always a celebrity gossip that gets all the hits, unfortunately. And, you know, it's like, that kind of frustrates me sometimes. Don't nobody want to hear y' all be smart, which I think is crazy, right? It frustrates you that people want the gossip or that. What frustrates you about that? That that's what seems to resonate with the masses more than anything.

[DJ Envy]

Well, that's what the blogs pick up, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what the blogs pick up. That's what gets the most att, everyone claims. Nah, we don't want that. Like, they say they don't want messy reality tv, but the messy ones are the ones that get the clicks, right? That gets the views, and that gets funded. So people say they want that positivity, but when Tia and Tamara had a show and it's all positive, did you see the support like it should have been? No, it wasn't. They say that because it sounds good. It sounds good to say, oh, we want elevated conversations. We're sick of the same type of thing, same rhetoric. Do y' all have a guest? Yeah. Yeah. That's been. That's really been a big bonus for us, especially because the gift guests that Claudia's been able to book have been very timely. So it's nice to. Because we do our rundowns that morning, so we'll go through all the topics and. And they're all trending topics. Who's been your favorite guest? Oh, gosh, I can't pick a favorite. Okay. My. I'll say that who stands out to me is Angela Oakley. Because I didn't realize we had so much in common. We went to the same university at the same time. We're from Chicago.

[DJ Envy]

Where'd you go? Go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

DePaul University. Okay. Yeah. So that was surprising. I really enjoyed her. I love having the speaker, Minority Speaker, Hakeem Jeffries, because, you know, I'm a political nerd.

[DJ Envy]

Like, I love talking Charlemagne hates him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You do?

[DJ Envy]

I don't hate him. I just don't think he stands for anything. Well, I think that he's. I call him Apac Shakur. Well, he definitely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We did talk about messaging, and I actually went to the Capitol and had a meeting with him, and we talked about messaging and how I was like, the frustration with the party is y' all have to get more gangster. Like, like, stop going by the politics of the late 2000s, you know, in 2010. And you have to, like, rise to the occasion and the messaging. And he did. I saw him do more afterwards.

[DJ Envy]

Hakeem is a puppet. Hakeem's not doing anything if Shuma don't tell him to do it. And as simple as that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I did. I was very happy that he came on our little podcast, though.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because we can, like, have these conversations, and I feel like, you know, a lot of. A lot of people don't press these folks. You know what I mean? And we didn't. And we. We need to do that. We need to be pressing all of them.

[DJ Envy]

We're kicking it with Claudia Jordan and Erica Cobb. Lauren.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Claudia, like, making jokes and talking about stuff with your friends. How do you pick and choose where you don't go? Cuz they go everywhere. They was on you recently about the Tracy Edmonds stuff, which is why, though, because people felt like, if that is your friend, why bring the conversation to a public platform? Because I do commentary for a living. Like, are they.

[DJ Envy]

I'm sorry. No, I'm.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Coast. Listen, it doesn't mean. It means, like, go. It doesn't mean that. That east coast, like, the way Eminem says it, the way that don't mean that. And I'm sick of it. Don't mean this, it don't mean that. It does not mean that. I'm not making. I'm not making for mentally challenged, like, clinically, you know, diagnosed people. That is like, you're slow. Retardation means to slow down a fire retardant. What does that do?

[DJ Envy]

Slows it down.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Slows it down. So some people are slow. You are a great balance between Righteousness.

[DJ Envy]

You sure?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love how you brought. I did like that how you did she know how.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do you know where to go? And also too, I'm interested to know when you do go there, do you have a conversation with your friends prior like it. I know my friends really well. All my friends in my Life are like 20 year, 10 year, 50. I already know their triggers. Like there's things that I'm a vault about that will never get repeated. If I. If you tell me something like. Like that I know is a real trigger for you. I would never go there. It's things that I know like you're okay with. You know what I'm saying? As far as that Tracy thing, I just want to say this. Anyone that knows me knows I am a girl's girl. I'm a girl's girl and I ride hard for the people that I rock. Even Jess. I was about to fight her ex boyfriend before. Okay. On television. And I'm so happy you're so happily married now. Thank you so much. I will be sending him a DM with your wedding picture, period. Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

Were you mad at Karrueche?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I like Karrueche. This is the thing. The greater conversation once again on our show. Like, you use a celebrity story for the intro into the topic, but it's really about life situations. I was saying I think more women should have conversations with each other before getting mad. Like, Tracy approached, saw her out, they know each other. And she asked her like, impact, like, hey, is it true? And that's that I think it's very.

[DJ Envy]

Still dating at the time. Were they still together?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They weren't. But if you think after 12 years that it was cut like, I think she. I think Tracy was actually being respectful. Read between the lines here, ladies and gentlemen. Like, she was like, are you. Because if you are, blah, blah, blah. You know what I'm saying? So I just feel like more women should approach the woman in a calm way before they get angry and go on social media. And she shared that conversation with me. And I did ask her, I said if I mentioned it, but I would keep some parts of myself. She's like, I'm okay with it because I told her the bigger picture I'm trying to convey. Women need to stop being mad at each other when these things happen. Be grown. There's nothing wrong with having a conversation. And the way people took it that Tracee was pressed, she must still want him. It's none of her business. And they were trying to qualify it with like, well, they weren't good friends. I don't think you need to be a good friend of someone to give another fellow black woman or women a heads up. We gotta. What. What does it harm you to say? Actually yeah, we are.

[DJ Envy]

That's good context to what you gave to it because I didn't even know that you had a. A question with it. Like the. With the whatever. Of course not. I didn't know. All I thought was the headline.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You came back to clarify it too after. Yeah, but no one posts the clarification, right? Yeah, they want the clickbait. Oh, messy ass Claudia is running. And then you throw Karru's name and Tracy's name and then Deion Sanders name. It's going to be a hot topic. And listen, I'm not new to this. I understand that. I knew when I said it was going to be a problem. But like the, the goal is you hope that they will go back and watch accidentally informed. Watch the whole conversation. But really because people are the R word. They don't have a attention span anymore. They want it in 15 seconds or less and they can't comprehend like a actual full throated conversation about it where there was nothing wrong. I don't blame. I'm not. And Tracy's not mad at Karruji. I love. I think Kuchi's dope. I love that. And you know, and I. It opened the gates to like a conversation. Maybe they weren't dating then maybe it grew into something. Who knows? But I think I love the fact that they had a grown conversation. No one got mad. No tables were flipped. And what is wrong with encouraging that?

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely. Did Tracy reach out to you after the fact?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. She's like, thank you for always having my back. And she's like. And she's like. And she adores Karoshi. Like to this day she's not mad at Karrueche. Kuchi didn't steal Deion Santa's from. And I just want that to be clear. I don't put any fault on Karrueche either. I don't. I just was saying I love that Tracee was on her. Grown woman. You never hear drama about Tracee.

[DJ Envy]

I love Tracey Edmonds like she is. We do not celebrate Tracey Edmonds. She gets busy as a classy girl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She was with us for the birthday celebration. She's so fun. Like she's not. She could be bougie and snobby and a bitch and she's not like that girl is like so down to earth. And cool as hell. Like, you would love hanging with her. Well, and also, when we got into to what the foundation of this entire story was about, it was about the idea how women are unintentionally supporting the patriarchy by keeping these things close to the vest. Like, that's not. That's in defense of men. And men are already being accused of not being transparent with what the intentions are. So why, as women, would we not want to be transparent with each other about what the intentions are? If you're continuing to keep things close to the vest, it's only helping. What you're saying is destroying you.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See how she says it? So classy. Yeah, she's like the cleanup after me. Like, I just say that, and then she's like, well, actually. But yeah, it wasn't. It just. It just really went left. And I just feel like, you know, we got to just have more of an attention span out here in these streets and listen to a whole conversation and knowing that people only take what they take. Right. Because you know, how this works.

[DJ Envy]

Works.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why even attempt to clarify after I. For some reason, even after 30 years in this thing, I still care. What? Like, I. I care about being misunderstood or misrepresented, you know, And I. I still do care. So I will always clarify for the slow people in the back. You know what I mean? Like, in case you didn't retards in the rear. Exactly. Had the rear. And mind you, how do we even find out about Karrueche and maybe a possible Dion situation? His son filmed it and put on social media. So why am I the messy one for commenting on something that y' all rolled out in the media? Like, it's amazing. I didn't sneak a camera in there and get the information and blow up the spot. That would be messy. But when I comment on things, you know, listen, it's all, if they like you, they're okay with your commentary. If they don't like you, it's a problem. You're messy. And guess what? I don't give a. Just watch it and click on it. I just feel like it's all fame or shame. It's all the same game.

[DJ Envy]

Like, ooh, break that down now. Erica. Fame or shame, it's all the same game.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Fame or shame, it's all the same game. It's just where people are looking for this energy. You're looking for attention. And so when you're getting it, you don't get to choose necessarily how that attention, how that energy is going to come in what form? But ultimately, why are you here? Why are you on this platform? Like, what is the intentionality behind it? Channel that energy into what it is that you want, because you're never going to be able to decide yourself if it's fame or if it's shame.

[DJ Envy]

I like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, Eric, have you ever taken any of Claudia jokes to heart? Please let me know the truth. No, I don't really. I. I don't know what it is. I'm just gonna blame it on my cheekbones. Okay. People have this sense of like, I'm so, like, innocent and fragile. I'm like, I don't understand my father. Bless his father. Give us some thug stories. Roosevelt. Oh, my gosh. My father. Roosevelt. Okay, okay. He's 75 years old. He's from North Carolina. And he has always spoken to me a very strict, stern way. He's from Red Springs, North Carolina.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, so you heard.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know where Red Springs is?

[DJ Envy]

No, but I know that you heard Cracker a lot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've heard everything a lot. How was your dad when he first met your husband?

[DJ Envy]

How.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How was it when you bought him?

[DJ Envy]

That's a good question. Southern father.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. So my father told me when I was in junior high that I could not bring my best friend to the church that we went to. We went to church on the west side of Chicago. And at the time, we were living in the suburbs, and I was white. Yeah, he had. So my dad asked, what's his last name? And I said the last name. And he was like, he Italian? Wait, he like Italian? And I was like, he guessed by the last name. Well, it's pretty obvious. And. And he's like, you will never. He's like, patrick, my older brother has never brought a girl into this home that isn't black. And you will never bring a boy into this home that isn't.

[DJ Envy]

Gentlemen, I want you to listen to this story because this is a good one right here. Cause Charlamagne say the same thing as daughters go crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Really? So Fast forward about 30 years later, and now he loves my Italian husband from Canada because that's just the way that it worked out.

[DJ Envy]

We're kicking it with Claudia Jordan and Erica Cobb. Charlemagne. Listen, love is love. I don't have any problem with it, but I don't think there's anything wrong with also me saying, this is my preference. I want to see my black daughters with a black man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I think it's. And listen, I love black love. I am the product of black love. My parents have been married for 46 years. Like I, I understand all of that. You said black men don't hit on you. That you said they don't like you. You. I don't know what it is. I'm from Chicago. I've never, it. I've never gotten hit on by black men. I am so serious. I am serious. I can think of two black men who have asked me out in my entire life. I don't get this. And it wasn't even like a viable situation because one, I was married at that time and then the other part was like. It was just kind of like a shoot your shot type thing. It wasn't a serious thing. But yeah, I do not.

[DJ Envy]

Erica, have you had black D?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[DJ Envy]

What a question.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Canadian sitting home, like keep it cute, keep it cute. I'm going there. I am not going there. But you've seen a black penis before. I have seen everything. I'm 44 years old. Have you had one in your hand?

[DJ Envy]

That question too. Every day unearthing. Hey, yo, I need.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cuz you know people love to be. I didn't know this about her.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't know. I never even heard.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's hard to believe.

[DJ Envy]

I don't believe that's possible. There's no way. Look at you, how beautiful you are. Gorgeous. No black man has ever tried to holl at you. I'm tell you, you so diesel. What was you trying to figure out?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Something like she did fitness, but still. Listen, did you look intimidating fitness?

[DJ Envy]

You did the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but like, like it's even. That's even more attractive. A lot of men like that, you see bad booze.

[DJ Envy]

Baboos jumped all over that girl, you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Know, I don't know, it's never. I don't, I don't know. It's just what it is.

[DJ Envy]

I refuse to believe that. But I gotta believe you because you said it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And she also doesn't have the typical aesthetic for a white man as well because they usually say like hard wig, soft life with the white man. And you have like the great hair too. Yeah, thank you. The hard ways get you. They, they love hearing that about the.

[DJ Envy]

Hard wig, soft life thing. That's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The white men love those synthetic wigs the way that cuz they want us to be humble. They're humble. The ones with no humble. So you got a good one. When you got a good wig, you be. We be doing too much. Them white men be like, uhuh, go get that wig from the store.

[DJ Envy]

So hard wigs are like a sign of insecurity or something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Or they just say they keep us humbled. They be saying that the hard wigs are like the sign of like the strong black woman sometimes too.

[DJ Envy]

He trying to change the narrative.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all never heard that, like, the women who like, have like the great, the corporate CEO black women, they always say that they have bad wigs. That's a thing.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is a. Why we need a deep dive, a documentary maybe into that. I think we put in too much effort, personally, especially for what's out here. Like, I'm sick of it. You are depleted of this, man.

[DJ Envy]

You are bum ass. And y' all getting your head down.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, why are we spending so much money? Wait, ladies, I would like to call for a national boycott. Like, like, we need to bring. We looking too flat.

[DJ Envy]

Wigs and men of like, just putting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So much into our appearance and looks like they show up. Beijing be up. They got the white line stomachs. Like, y' all don't put any effort. Men just get to show up. And we are so judged on our looks. Even on radio. It's crazy. Like, it's crazy. Like, why do we put so much effort? You ever go out with your friends and get ready to go to a club or a party and you looks like, like you're about to be in a pageant. Yeah. And then you see what shows up. Up. Yes. Plaque sleep in the eye. Breath. Breath be terrible. Black underneath the nails, everywhere in the cracks. You said on one episode recently that it was like a fine ass actor that was texting you. I was going to figure something out. Oh, yeah, it was texting me. They text me now. They, I mean, they, you know, she like, look, I ain't saying I ain't got no hoes. He didn't have no plaque. Yeah, but some people, I just don't want people to talk about themselves in the third person. You know what I'm saying? Like, male actors are like that. Male actors a lot of times do that. A lot of male actors are like, like, they, they're good looking. But, you know, a lot of times it's that.

[DJ Envy]

What do you say? Yeah, you don't want to go out with me. Like, he. But he said his name like you don't want to go out. When you talking about himself, it's kind.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of like just referring to themselves in the third person. Like, you know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Because I think the microphone might scare people away.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They think I'm gonna talk about them like.

[DJ Envy]

But you always do, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't. What names have I ever said?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, Never said names.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Never got a name from me. The only person y' all really know I was really with was KJ because we did a TV show together. That's for the most part. Like, I don't trash the guys I've been with. Like you. You. I've never, like, put a name out there and, like, really went in like that.

[DJ Envy]

You never said nobody's name.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean? Like, listen, it is. It is a man out there that really. A man in particular that we all know that still want Claudia that wanted her back in the day. I think she was talking to him back in the day. He a singer. He be doing all types of on stage. Oh, yeah. He trying to show he loves me. You know what I mean? He can't say no names. Can't say no name. You gave it him that man. You can't guess.

[DJ Envy]

You did his exact dance. Have you been playing charade, like, get.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Him out for like 28 years now. Like, he's truly, like, he supports everything I do. Like here. We heard. Damn. He reposted. Actually, I have a movie coming out on the 29th. It's in theaters. It's called Run. It's a sci fi.

[DJ Envy]

Are you sure?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I saw the trailer. That's what I invited to. So it's. It's a black and brown woman as leads in a sci fi movie. It's. It looks super expensive. Like, it looks like a $30 million picture. Yes. It starts. It starts like, girl, strip, and then it leads to, you know, we're up in a cabin and then the earth gets invaded. And the special effects. I want to shout out. Jusadora did some amazing stunts in this. She did so good. So it's. It's great. That's why I'm out here. Actually, the premiere is tonight.

[DJ Envy]

I saw that. I don't know why I thought it was a Jordan Peele movie when I first saw the trailer. Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But that's me too, because the. The trailer has been all over the place. I've seen it a few times on the blogs and I'm like, my girl is a devil and it's not on tubi. Not that this ain't wrong with Tubi. Right. I feel like I'm one of the TV greats, but my.

[DJ Envy]

Are you shooting any kids in this one?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't shoot any. I want to let y' all know my update. So the TV movie where I shot the kid, it went everywhere. Right. Thank you for Breakfast Club. Then I did another movie called do it for the Gram why I did shoot teenagers. They were in college. So I'm moving up. My last film, I have another one called the Handyman that dropped this month. I'm not killing any children or any teenagers so I'm actually getting to an older demographic. So anytime you see me in a black hoodie, I'm killing somebody.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. I want to see you shoot somebody in 2B with just your fingers but bullets.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, I'm with the though. Yes. I don't get embarrassed ever. I think that stuff is so funny. I think that's what Tubi is for. The beautifully crafted movies like Chris Stokes, he has a huge deal with them. They do beautifully done movies where everything's right, there's no continuity issues. But the lower budget films where you walk in with jeans and then you walk out with some black pants on, it's so fun to watch. I'm putting my idea that I want to make an award show called the 2B's with we highlight the best of the worst.

[DJ Envy]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tubi is the version of Netflix. It really is. But. But it gives a lot of opportunities to people. Some should have them, some should not. But no, they should all have them because I feel like there's a place for all kinds of different levels. Everything doesn't have to be the Julia Roberts top tier Angela Bassett. There's also people like from the neighborhood that want to do films and that's a place where you can do them. Get your stuff on there. But please, I need y' all to go see Ron.

December 29, 1975. LaGuardia Airport.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The holiday rush. Parents hauling luggage. Kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then at 6:33pm everything changed.

[DJ Envy]

There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently the explosion actually impelled metal glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged. And it was here to stay. Terrorism, law and order. Criminal justice system is back.

And in America, there are several ways we can all do better at protecting black women. My contribution is shining a light on our missing sisters and amplifying their disregarded stories. Stories like Tameka Anderson. As she drove toward Galvez, she was in contact with several people talking on the phone as she made her way to what should have been a routine transaction. But Tameka never bought the car, and she never returned home that day. One podcast, One Mission Save our Girls Join the search as we explore the chilling cases of missing and murdered Black women and girls. Listen to Hunting for Answers every weekday on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford, and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Afia and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health and the ways we heal. Because I think hair is a complex language system, right? In terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, your spiritual belief. But I think with social media, there's like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair, right? That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel. It's how our hair is styled. We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our communities, the pressure to always look put together, and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela Neal Barnett, where we dive into managing flight anxiety.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You said we acting. What?

[DJ Envy]

I did not say that. Let's. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lauren becoming a straight face.

[DJ Envy]

She gets it from somebody that knows somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

[DJ Envy]

She be having the latest on you. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit every. What was the me? Breakfast Club. LL Cool, baby. Let's go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't want no. No parts of what's happening right now.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She feels set up.

[DJ Envy]

She don't know. I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I don't want to be involved. Okay, let's go. All right. Now, Cardi B. Sat down with Zane Lowe, and they were having a conversation because, you know, she's rolling out her album. Am I the drama? And man, you know, we've been hearing Cardi B and Offset talk a lot about their divorce and what they've been going through.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But this clip that I'm about to play for y', all, it made me never, ever, ever want to get a divorce. It sounds so painful. Let's take a listen to Cardi. Going through a divorce is very, very tough because you marry somebody and the person that you divorcing is not that person that you married. You. You really ask yourself, like, who the did I marry? Like, there is no love there. But to me, I always feel like it's like if I ever walk away from something, like, I get along with all my ex. Even if we don't talk, we never ended it on some nasty, nasty stuff. It has gotten to the point that it's like I feel like I really hate you. Like, you're. I think I hate you. Everybody should walk away. Walk away what they came with. Things gonna hurt for a couple of months, but especially when there's kids. It's like, we should be able, like, to co parent. We should be able to have a conversation 100. But it's not like that. It's. It's actually, I'm going to something that is, like, kind of like, very, like, like dark. I don't know. It's like when somebody died. Like, it's like you feel pain and then it's like now you got the bills of the funeral.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn, man. Some divorces do get like that. And when she said something that stuck out to me, my mom kind of sort of said the same thing with her and my dad divorced a couple years ago. She said the person that you divorce is not the person that you married. You know what I mean? She now my mom don't hate my dad, you know. Yeah, but yeah, like you, you're like, damn, who did I marry?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. I would never want to be in that situation. Like that sounds horrible. Like that's, you know, that's a. The father of your children and they hate that person and say that you in a very dark space. I wouldn't wish that on the. It's resentment at that time. Right. Because when you get in divorce, it's a reason that divorce is happening. So you hate the person for that divorce. So you want to get them back revenge style. Right. Whether it's withholding the kids or I want half or I want some of the money that you brought in. And it just becomes the only people that really win is the attorneys. Yeah, yeah, the attorneys win.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Paid all of that money.

[DJ Envy]

All that money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you know what? Later, later on we're going to. To see them because hopefully. You know what I mean? Because I was thinking about that my mom and my dad are friends now. Now mind you, big age difference, right? My mom, my dad are friends now. They working to that point. But later on, like Offset and Cardi B, they're going to be.

[DJ Envy]

I hope so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think they will.

[DJ Envy]

Because I hope so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was thinking about that too. Like. So she posted her outfit from this interview on. It was like August 13th or August 15th. So this interview, it just came out the last night or yesterday? Later yesterday. But since. Since she's filmed this interview, I was thinking about the interviews we've seen Offset doing where you know, he's come out and said I messed up, I didn't handle things right. So I think, you know, eventually it does get to that point where it's like, okay, we got some bigger things, our kids and our. Their lives that we need to focus on. But she also talked a lot about too with just. She says she's not gonna ever take this long to do an album ever again. But she says that the. The title Am I the drama is more so about everybody always throwing darts her way. She be going through so much and still has to produce, you know, Work wise things in her household with her. Well, with Offset at one point in time and you know, the rap time for her and all the things being a mom. But she talked about like empathy and feeling like she doesn't get any. Let's take a listen to that. I really be hard on myself, but I have to be hard on myself because people be hard on me.

[DJ Envy]

Nobody ever for me, some grace, nothing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody ever give me no grace. Like, it's like I'm not allowed to have a flop. I'm not allowed to have a song that is like I want to do because, like, it's just in my heart to do. Like, it's like it's almost everything got to be great. Everything has to be amazing. And it's like everything. I have to put my mind thought, foot on it. My grandma's back. I put my feet in it. Yeah. I put my whole body in it.

[DJ Envy]

Put my soul in it. Yeah. You don't get grace when you're on top. And the reason you don't get grace when you're on top because you've been winning for so long that your haters can't wait to see you fall. Yeah, that's all it is. And by the way, it's not a fall. Everything just ain't gonna be number one, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. And Cardi, I mean, sorry to say, she set the bar for herself. She did that, you know, with Bodak and, you know, all her earlier hits and everything. And then the first album, Invasion of Prophecy. Like, you know, pat yourself on the back, you're in competition with yourself. You trying to beat the record that you said.

[DJ Envy]

It's been a long time though. It's been seven years. But the thing with Cardi, I don't think anybody ever expected it. So when it happened, it's like, oh, ish. But now keeping it up there, it's like all that pressure. I don't care about the charts, I care about good music. Like Offset just put out a fantastic album. I don't know what Offset gonna sell this week, you know, I mean, probably, I don't know, but you know, I mean, the label ain't the best, but I don't know. But the album he won. To me, once you put out a great body of work, you won. It's not just that though. It's the whole package because you can put out a great body of work and if the people don't hear that great body work or it's not promoted right. Or you don't do what you're Supposed to do to make sure the world hears it or. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People so engulfed in your real life that they don't even really care about the music.

[DJ Envy]

By the way, if you get a number one album and everybody say your album whack, that hurts more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

You can't anybody, I got a number one album. I don't care. It sucks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Trust me. Everybody coming at you on social media telling you how much your music whack. I guarantee you those artists would rather have them people say my music slaps.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, Zane Lowe said he heard the album and he said that he felt like in listening to it, it's a body of work, not just a couple songs she threw together. And he felt like it reminds you that, I think how we all feel like this with Cardi, which you talk about car. There's only one Cardi. Like, she brings like this, like, personality or whatever. That is just her and it's very Bronx. So he said that's what the album made him feel like. So we'll have to wait to hear it when it drops September 19th. Now in wrapping up. I do want to hold on.

[DJ Envy]

Did we earn our check? You know, they say we get paid from Cardi. So did we earn our check just now?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not just talking about. Not talking about.

[DJ Envy]

Not shouting him out half price. Go do some more glazing. Yeah. I mean, I can't wait for this album to come out, man. I think it's time and I think.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think it's gonna be great.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that you guys are crazy. Yeah. And then she's still at Brawnstick, so, you know, she still pops up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I only want to listen to her. And she did say all the other rap girls was, you know, she's a senior. They're like freshman in high school.

[DJ Envy]

So I mean, that's true. She is a veteran. Body is a veteran. Yeah, I think that's good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now make sure I got my W9 in.

[DJ Envy]

You're in the chat, guys. It.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, y' all know what I was wondering, yo, how all of religions.

[DJ Envy]

We weren't one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We weren't.

[DJ Envy]

We weren't wondering what you were doing. Nobody was wondering. Nobody was wondering what you was. I know y' all thought about this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Too before in life. Because all we all grew up, you know, religious in some way, you know, but how all the religions got different gods, but the same Satan. Like, why hand chain.

[DJ Envy]

You know what I mean? I ain't think about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I literally have never thought about that. But that is.

[DJ Envy]

I think it's different forms of Satan.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but his name Satan in every. Every one.

[DJ Envy]

But I think he comes in different forms. Like lust, greed, envy, hate, gluttony. I think there's different. Like when they say. When they say seven deadly sins, to me, that's like seven different versions of Satan.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, but you know how like Christians, we got God.

[DJ Envy]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Muslims, they got Allah.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And some other people got some other things. Right, Right, right. But Satan is Satan Christian regardless. Yep.

[DJ Envy]

They call them different names. Yeah, I see what you're saying. Like Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub. You smoking this morning? Who.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's Beezle Bub?

[DJ Envy]

You never heard?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've never in my life heard of Beezle Bub. Who is that where they at?

[DJ Envy]

Let me make sure. I'm saying. I never heard nobody saying y' all don't read. You smoking this morning?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I didn't, Envy. I was just wondering. I was smoking last night and I was wondering, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Bezel Bub is an alternative name for Satan. Yeah. If y' all just pick up a book, y', all, you know, know some of these.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What book is Bee Ass book?

[DJ Envy]

What book? What book? It say be a lot of Christian texts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I rebuke Beezle Bub in the name.

[DJ Envy]

I can't be. All right, that was the latest with Lauren. Now, Charlamagne. Who you throwing your donkey to, man? There's a name. Name. There's a man named Michael R. Do who needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with. With him. All right, we'll get to that. Oh, and I got an announcement after donkey too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, God. Can't wait.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Why you say oh, God?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, all right, we'll get to that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. You're checking out the Breakfast Club? I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. That's 45. The Breakfast Club. Well, donkey today for Tuesday, August 26th goes to a Louisiana man named Michael Ardoin. Okay. Michael is 57 years old and he is facing felony charges this morning. Did you know that in America you can be arrested for having too much meat in your pants? Oh, Envy, I see the twinkle in your eye. Oh, I see the twinkle in your eye. And I heard the flutter in your heart when I. When I said that. Okay. Yes. 57 year old Michael Ar do was arrested for having excessive meat in his pants. Okay. In fact, the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office is calling him the Beef Bandit. Envy, why are you typing so aggressively on your phone. Just look at his phone. I bet he's googling Louisiana Beef Bandit right now. You want the meat? You want to see the meat? You want to have the meat? We have the meat. What is wrong with you? Tell me. Mouth is watering. Without telling me your mouth is watering.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not sound like Diddy.

[DJ Envy]

You want to hear what happened? Let's go to Louisiana. First news for the report, please.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A man with more than 70 prior arrest is accused of stealing packs of frozen meat from a neighborhood Walmart in Denim Springs. Deputies say Michael Arduan left the store this morning without paying for several items. Witnesses telling law enforcement on the scene that they saw the suspect by stuffing packs of meat into his pants. They eventually caught up with him and arrested him. Deputies say he stole around $800. Damn.

[DJ Envy]

I'm gonna tell you what the problem is in this story, okay? According to officers, they recovered two packs of lean hamburger meat valued at 64.94, as well as four packs of Ribeyes valued at $131.56. Several packs of Angus Ribeyes valued at $291.30. 36 cents. Then the Sheriff's office also discovered that more packs of meat were taken from another area or another store. Okay? This man stole 300 of meat from Sam's. Okay? Three things here. Number one, somebody cookout got canceled, okay? There was a barbecue happening. That did not happen no more, okay? Our Michael was about to hit a lick with this meat, okay? He was about to sell this to someone, and, you know, you know, they just didn't get it. R groceries just too damn high, okay? The price of groceries are just too damn high, and folks gotta eat. I'm not justifying his stealing. I'm just saying with the price of groceries nowadays, I'm shocked we don't hear about this more, okay? But don't feel sorry for Michael. No, no, no, no, no. See, Michael is just a kleptomaniac. Matter of fact, I'm not even going to clinically diagnose him. He's just. Because I can't, because I'm not a doctor. But he's just a serial killer thief. And I don't mean he steals Fruit Loops, Corn Pops, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. No, he just steals a lot. In fact, he has an extensive theft conviction history, including 74 arrests, okay? 26 of them for theft, with nine convictions. According to the law, if you have two or more theft convictions, new charges are upgraded. So Michael is being charged with two felony counts of theft and traffic citations. Now, there is something else that's bothering me about this story, and it's what I read at the bottom of this message. News report. The stolen meat was returned to the stores, but it will not be destroyed. Well, no, it will be destroyed. Okay? The packs will have to be destroyed. I don't eat beef anymore because I got to keep my cholesterol down and I'm focused on my heart health. But if I did still eat meat, I would eat the meat that was in this man's pants. I know you would. Yo, Justin Envy, you telling me you would need to meet that was in this man pants? No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, Actually, yeah. Ribeye sound good, and I'm not.

[DJ Envy]

I'm a woman.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So whether it was his meat or somebody else meat.

[DJ Envy]

That's what I'm saying. You just can't destroy 800 pounds of meat. You got to donate those ribeyes to a zoo. Hell, they were still in the pack. Like, once they come out, the pack hit the grill. Whatever germs was in Michael's pants, they'll get grilled, too. I just don't think you should waste any meat just because it was in a man's pants. I'm alone on this. Yes. You want all of me. Give Michael Ardoin the sweet sounds and the Hamiltons, please. Y rich. Y' all rich. That man's meat would have got eat. I know you would have ate it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Would have got eight, huh? It would have got eight. You would have ate it, huh?

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why did you give him donkey of the day if you would have ate his meat?

[DJ Envy]

Because he stole it. And he's got a history of stealing. Of course you don't care because you're a serial booster your damn self.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. And I will boost some steaks. Do you know how high stakes are for people?

[DJ Envy]

They're like 30, 40 for the people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exactly. Do you think people got 3040 to spend? They don't even have school money for their kids.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are you serious? Yes. I'm gonna steal some damn steak.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And get. And give it to the food bank.

[DJ Envy]

I don't want you to steal steak. So can you shout out your messy glasses vision right now? So, people, you ain't got to steal no steak. Not right. Because I have something else. Am I not gonna play a game? No, we're not playing a game. You never want to play a game no more. You want to know what race this man's meat is so bad, don't you? I like when you like this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's his name? What's his name?

[DJ Envy]

Michael Ardoin. Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You should have said. You should have said it was gonna be mad meat in Newark too, at your thing, because this would be. All right. Anyway, can we bring Lauren in right fast? For what? Cuz we gotta, we gotta, we gotta. We got a show to do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I gotta do something.

[DJ Envy]

I thought we were doing the show. Yes. 8 o', clock, 100-585-1051. We have to open up the phone line. Are we gonna do the hard wig topic again? No, I didn't call Lauren in for that. For the hard leg.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You need a m. First of all.

[DJ Envy]

Girls.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

For what?

[DJ Envy]

Gals. Gals, Gals.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What y talking about now? What happened?

[DJ Envy]

Can you just tell us about what happened with Snoop? You were supposed to do it in. In the latest with Lauren, but we didn't get to it. So what happened with Snoop? Because this is a great topic. I'm gonna open up the phone lines.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. So, okay, Uncle Snoop was on it's giving the podcast and they were having a conversation about he took his. One of his grandkids to see the Buzz Lightyear and there is a lesbian couple in the movie that have a baby.

[DJ Envy]

Let's hear from Snoop. Let's hear from Snoop. I took my grandson to see what was the movie with Buzz Light? Oh, the new. The new Buzz.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Lightyear. I think it's.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, with Kiki. Palmer's in that movie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, okay.

[DJ Envy]

She plays like the dog daughter. So we watching it. The lady, which is Kiki's mama. They move on into the space years. They move down the line. They're like. And she had a baby with a woman. Well, my Grandson in the middle of the movie. Like, Papa Snoop. How'd she have a baby with a woman? She a woman? Oh, I didn't come in for this. Came and watch a damn movie. Hey, man, watch the movie. They just said she and she had a baby. They both women. How does she have a baby? They both women. So it's like, I'm scared to go to the movies now. Like, y' all throwing me in the middle of. I don't have an answer for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What was it? What'd you tell them?

[DJ Envy]

Watch the movie. It threw me for a loop. I'm like, what part of the movie was this? These are kids that we have to. And that is the question. 800-5 8. Like, you cut off some important context. Why did it fade out like that? We gotta come back. We gotta come back. You can't. People be getting in trouble right there, man. That's why people be having crazy. You can't play something like that. And I play the whole concert. It was a second left, but we just got to go to commercials. We're late. I need more commercials. We'll open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Do you have problems taking your kids to the movies and them seeing things that you feel like they shouldn't see?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, we got all the context that we need.

[DJ Envy]

A woman and a woman made a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Baby, and that baby wanted to know how.

[DJ Envy]

That's a valid question.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why would a baby have that question? Why should a baby have that question? Going to go see Buzz Lightyear.

[DJ Envy]

Well, let's talk about it when we come back. And if it's birds and bees. Bees. Then we need some more language about the birds and birds.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exactly.

[DJ Envy]

We can explain the birds and bees. Let's talk when we come back. Call in right now. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club top. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club made it. It's top the of big time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's DJ Envy.

[DJ Envy]

Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're talking about Snoop. Now, Snoop recently did an interview on what podcast was it, Lauren?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's giving.

[DJ Envy]

It's giving. And he was talking about the time he took his grandson to the movies and let's. Let's listen to Snoop. I took my grandson to see who was a movie with Buzz Light. Oh, the new. The new Buzz.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Light year.

[DJ Envy]

I Think, Yeah. Kiki Palmer is in that movie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay?

[DJ Envy]

She plays like the daughter. So we watching it. The lady, which is Kiki's mama, they move on into the space years. They move down the line. They're like, man, she had a baby with a woman. Well, my grandson in the middle of the movie, like, Papa Snoop. How she have a baby with a woman? She a woman. Oh, I didn't come in for this. Came and watch a damn movie. Hey, man, watch the movie. They just said she and she had a baby. They both women's. How does she have a baby? The movie ain't over with. So it's like, I'm scared to go to the movies now. Like, y' all throwing me in the middle of that. I don't have an answer for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What was it? What'd you tell them?

[DJ Envy]

Watch the movie. It threw me for a loop. I'm like, what part of the movie was this? These are kids that we have to show that at this age. Like, they're going to ask questions. Yeah, they are going to ask. I don't have an answer. Yeah, what you think, Jeff?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, I wouldn't have explained right then and there in the movie, because obviously we're in the movie and I'm not gonna get up and leave after nothing like that. But if my kid had a question, I would tell him, well, we know two women can't make a baby. Two men can't make a baby, but these days, things are different. And, you know, it is what it is. Like, I. I definitely would explain it like that, though. Two men cannot make a baby. Two women cannot make a baby. Maybe that particular character was a diary. Adopted.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, maybe their dad left them at a very young age. And yeah, I would make up a whole story, but my kid will know that the same sex cannot make a baby.

[DJ Envy]

Well, if I was in that situation, the first thing I do is, you gotta ask your mother when we get home. Ask your mom, because I would definitely throw that on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Throw it on your wife.

[DJ Envy]

And second of all, I'm with Snoop. Like, I don't want to have to explain any of this in a cartoon or a movie. If I'm taking my child, right? I'm not sure the age of his grandson, but I don't want to have to explain this to my 3 year old, my 6 year old, my 7 year old, 8 year old, and not just whether it's gay, whether it's hetero as well. I don't want to see that if they're fighting in Galaxy Land, Like, I don't know what part of the story is that and I don't want to explain that story. So if that is part of the story, I'm not going to take my child because I want my kid to just be a kid that just enjoys movies and has fun and not have to think about girl on girl, guy on guy, guy on girl, alien on person. Like, I don't want them to think about any of that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, how did two mommies make a baby? You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Correct.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. They were also talking about screen time too, in this interview. And just kids being online. And you, you can run into stuff like that on Tick Tock too. Yeah, you can. But if we in the movies and we see something like that, you know, we didn't know that that scene was in there or that was coming up then. Yeah, I would explain later.

[DJ Envy]

You know, the problem to me is the headline. You know what I'm saying? I saw a bunch of headlines. I saw like People magazine and everybody, and they said, snoop Dogg scared to go see children's movies due to LGBTQ representation. When I listen to that clip in context, that's not what I got from that clip. I got Snoop Dogg does not know how to answer questions in regards to LGBTQ representation. And as I sit here right now, I wouldn't, I wouldn't know how to answer that question either. Okay. I'm just trying to watch and move movie now. I gotta Google this later and explain to my kids, you know, women can adopt or she might have had a surrogate. That's just not a question I want to be asked or answered while I'm sitting here watching this children's movie with my grandchild. Nothing worse when you can't answer a question.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

For a child, you know what I'm saying? They don't keep asking. They really, really, really want to know. And if I don't have an answer in that moment, I don't want to tell this person the wrong, wrong thing. So. And you know, Snoop, probably in that movie theater, high as hell, answer this deep ass question from his, his grandchild. He's like, man, eat your. Eat the popcorn. Eat your popcorn. Watch the movie. Eat your popcorn, man. Please just watch the movie. I don't think there's anything wrong with expressing that. And I think everybody who has outrage over that, y' all are part of the problem with this society, guess what? This is a teachable moment. Yes. Instead of being so ready to tear somebody down and crucify a person, how about use this Moment. Moment to teach. I'm with you. Well, we have Dom on the line now. Dom, they said that you are a lesbian. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's up, baby?

[DJ Envy]

What's going on, man? I can't believe I got you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love you.

[DJ Envy]

What's your thoughts?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, so check this out.

[DJ Envy]

I always had an issue with this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I don't know when it started, but it's the same thing with pride.

[DJ Envy]

When gay couples or lesbian couples, those are babies, man. You don't got no business exposing or anything like that, let alone putting a kid, you know? And you a lesbian saying this. Lesbian.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I am.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, I am. So I have my niece, 16 years old. She says he know my wife.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't feel comfortable like, OG affection.

[DJ Envy]

Or anything like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It just exposures your mind, especially when they kiss them.

[DJ Envy]

It's not normal, man. It's not normal. It's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not a. I don't know because.

[DJ Envy]

Like, yeah, it's like some contradiction on me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But when they're kids, man, their mind is so innocent. He ain't got no business exposing them to anything. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And by the way, unless there's more context to the clip, I ain't hear Snoop say none of that. Yeah, I hear Snoop say your kids shouldn't be exposed. I didn't hear him say nothing. He just said, I don't want to be asked this. Yeah, I don't want to ask my grandchild because I don't have the answer.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think the headline is crazy that the scared to know. No, it's not. And me speaking personally, I'm not scared to say, but I. I don't want to see kids movie.

[DJ Envy]

There's another one Fox News put. Snoop Dogg criticizes LGBTQ characters in children's movies, laments kids going to ask questions. I. I didn't see him criticize any of this, but I've said before in a million times on. In this radio, I don't think there should be any sexual suggested thing on any of these kids movies. And that's like I said, that's whether it's gay, whether it's hetero. I don't want to see that or have. Have to explain or have that conversation with my kids. Regardless, watching a cartoon, they're making it seem like he's scared to go to the movies because of the LGBTQ representation in the movies. No, he's scared to go to the movies because he don't want his grandson asking him questions. Uncomfortable. K. Yeah, Good morning, K. What's your Thoughts?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning. I just think that it's something that kids see in society these days as well. So if he was going to see that outside in the real world, how would he have responded to his grandson at that point? You explained to him, hey, girls like girls, sometimes boys like toys, sometimes it doesn't need to get into sex.

[DJ Envy]

That's not what the baby said. That's not what he said. He said, how did two women have a baby? Yeah, that's what he said. That's what the grandchild said. It wasn't as easy as that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The baby gonna follow up and say, but where did the baby come from? Yeah, exactly. And then the real world is from love. Just like adult answer is no.

[DJ Envy]

The baby comes from adoption. The baby comes from a surrogacy. It don't see. That's no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Stop. And I'm sorry. You're being delusional now. You're being very delusional now.

[DJ Envy]

I'm sorry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Same conversation can happen with a boy and a girl. And if you want to talk about it, you can go into it. It depends on how you are as your parents move.

[DJ Envy]

No, no, no, no. She, she, she, she's absolutely right. That conversation can't happen with a boy and a girl. The only difference is I know the answer. December 29, 1975, LaGuardia Airport.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The holiday rush. Parents hauling luggage. Kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then at 6:33pm everything changed.

[DJ Envy]

There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently the explosion actually impelled metal glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances. Just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged and it was here to stay. Terrorism, law and criminal justice system is back in season two. We're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight that's harder to predict and even harder to stop. Listen to the new season of law and criminal justice System on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Hunter, host of Hunting for Answers on the Black Effect Podcast Network. Join me every weekday as I share bite sized stories of missing and murdered black women and girls in America. There are several ways we can all do better at protecting black women. My contribution is shining a light on our missing sister sisters and amplifying their disregarded stories. Stories like Tameka Anderson. As she drove toward Galvez, she was in contact with several people talking on the phone as she made her way to what should have been a routine transaction. But Tameka never bought the car and she never returned home that day. One podcast, one mission. Save our girl.

[DJ Envy]

Girls.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Join the search as we explore the chilling cases of missing and murdered black women and girls. Listen to Hunting for Answers every weekday on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford, and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Afia and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair can connects to our identity, mental health and the ways we heal. Because I think hair is a complex language system, right, in terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, your spiritual beliefs. But I think with social media, there's like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair, right? That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel is how our hair is styled. You talk about the important role hairstylists play in our communities, the pressure to always look put together, and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela Neal Barnett, where we dive into managing flight anxiety. Listen to therapy for black Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Noah. I'm 13, and as you might have seen from the news, I got a podcast and I explain those fake headlines like your uncle would, like your cousin would if he actually did the research. Honestly, adults don't ask the right questions now. You know what? Noah de Barrasso is a show about influence. Who's got it, how they use it, and what it means for the rest of you. It's not the news. It's what the news should be if someone Gen Z or Gen Alpha made it. When I'm watching everything, Sheesh. Majority of the youth 18 through 24. Or say they trust Republicans more than Democrats to fund the economy.

[DJ Envy]

You kidding me?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Politics is wild, and I'm definitely not here to tame it, but I'm here to make sense of it. Just what's happening, why it matters, and what it means for us. Bring your brain. Listen to now youw know with Noah de Barrasta on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[DJ Envy]

The Boy and the Girl. I can give you that answer right now if you want me to, but I probably would tell you still. I'll probably still be like, eat your popcorn. We talk about this later, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He says this is inappropriate for a kid.

[DJ Envy]

Anyway, now we're talking about Snoop, who recently did an. He was on a podcast, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, he was on a podcast called It's Giving.

[DJ Envy]

And they asked him about. Well, they were talking about Snoop taking his son to a movie. And this is what Snoop had to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Grandson, grandson.

[DJ Envy]

His grandson. I took my grandson to see. What was the movie with Buzz Light? Oh, the new.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The new Buzz. The Lightyear, I think.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Kiki Palmer is in that movie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

She plays like the daughter. So we watching it. The lady, which is Kiki's mama, they move on into the space years. They move down the line. They're like, man, she had a baby with a woman. Well, my grandson in the middle of the movie, like, Papa Snoop. How she have a baby with a woman? She a woman. Oh, I didn't come in for this. Came and watch a damn movie. Hey, man, watch the movie. They just said she and she had a baby. They both women's. How does she have a baby? The movie ain't over with. So that's like, I'm scared to go to the movies now. Like, y' all throwing me in the middle of that. I don't have an answer for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What was it? What'd you tell them?

[DJ Envy]

Watch the movie. It threw me for a loop. I'm like, what part of the movie was this? These are kids that we have to show that at this age. Like, they're going to ask questions. Yeah, they are going to ask. I don't have an answer.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

So we're asking 800-585-1051. But before we did, we were talking about, you know, when your parents had that conversation with you. You said you were nine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My mom? Yeah. I think I was like, nine. Yep. And she was just. She told me to be the honest thing. Like, there's guys, there's girls. Guys have this pride apart. Women have this. They get together, they do something called sex. She explained it to me, and she explained why it's so as a woman, why you have to be very particular about who you allow to do certain things with you. And then we. We had full conversation. At nine years old.

[DJ Envy]

You didn't ask that question in a movie theater, though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't. I didn't. And to be honest with you, my mom has always been very, like. She was scared that I would get, like, learn it from somewhere else. So she's always, like, jumped ahead of things. So even if we were in the movies, she would have in the car. It would have been a straight Flat out conversation.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, had that conversation early too. Cuz our kids went to somebody's house and they were hurt. They heard something. So she had that conversation earlier. Yeah, but like you said, not in a movie theater. I'm not gonna have that conversation where a kid's supposed to be just eating popcorn and having. Watching a good movie. And that's why I still say just go back to eating popcorn. And I also just don't understand why we're so quick to tear people down instead of using opportunities to teach. From the clip I saw, Snoop wasn't malicious. He ain't criticized nobody. He ain't say nobody was wrong.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They also chuckled. It was. It was joking.

[DJ Envy]

That's what I'm saying. Like. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Stacy. How y' all doing? Hey, Stacy. What's up, Stacy?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hi.

[DJ Envy]

I just think that America is just way too sensitive. There is way other things to be worried about. About y' all write about a girl and a girl. We all know a girl and a girl can't have a baby. Like, please, America, get it together. But.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But the kids don't know, so I get it.

[DJ Envy]

Listen, listen. If you're gonna be gay, you're gonna be gay. You're not gonna be gay because you see two boys kissing. Okay? Please, the kids. Listen, you got kids doing dumb stuff every day. Don't talk to me about that. I don't want to hear it. I think it's the stupid America roll up. Thank you, Stacy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So he said, you have a good day.

[DJ Envy]

Stacey's gay, by the way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

America should gay up. Because he's saying that MAGA make America gay again.

[DJ Envy]

Saying it's okay. He's not gay. Stacy's by lgb, dummy. No, you said gay. He doesn't. Part of the community. He's still part of the community. He's the beast. He's the b. He's the beast. Hello? Who's the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, it's Leah.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Leah, good morning. What's your thoughts, Leah?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My thoughts are they need to leave it to the parents. Like that's too much for children.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I get it. And I don't want people showing my kids that. And that's coming from me. And I'm in a relationship with a woman and my kids see us together. But I still don't want them to see that in the movie. Exactly. Because the movie is intentional for children. Yes, they're going to see it in real life. Exactly. Yes. They're going to see it in their home because. Yep. You are Their mother and they have, you know, a stepmother or whatever. But like you said, if it's intentional for kids, then they don't need to see it.

[DJ Envy]

Or let me know. Like, you know, at the beginning of the movie, they tell me what's going. Like, the violence, whatever, let me know so at least I can have an answer prepared. Or tell my child. We're gonna have a conversation later after the movie. You know what I mean? I was just gonna say that Jackson is 10 years old. Last year in class, they sent a note and saying, hey, this Friday, we're gonna have a conversation about men's and women, women's anatomy. So if he. If you. If you don't feel comfortable or you feel like this is something he's not ready for, just letting you know, don't bring him to school. Like, man, my daddy gay. I'm ready. What's up?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn, my dad is gay and straight.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my goodness. The moral of the story to me is, instead of being so quick to criticize and tear people down, make things like this a teachable moment.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Like, that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. And I don't understand why we don't under. Why we don't get that context matters. And all you platform, social media site. Y' all know what y' all doing when y' all put Snoop Dogg scared to go see children's movies due to LGBTQ representation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Weird.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't get that from that clip. No. Okay. I got a man afraid to look stupid in front of his grandchild. I ain't got no answers for you, baby. That's why my favorite line is, go talk to your man, mom. That's right. Especially when they come to mute that mask.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All this pressure on the wise.

[DJ Envy]

That's right. Y' all are. Talk to your mom, cuz I don't know what to say, and I don't take nothing serious.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I'mma laugh. I'm a joke.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exactly.

[DJ Envy]

Look at me here, like, exactly what do you want me do?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They come to you cuz you're part of the community.

[DJ Envy]

Shut up. You're a be. Huh? You're a B. You are a B. I'm a bee. You a B. You a b. No, I'm not going on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We do. Talking about headlines. Kim Kardashian's getting dragged right now, cuz Northwest is all grown up, and the people are saying it's just inappropriate.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll get to that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lauren becoming a straight face.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. Details.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

[DJ Envy]

And she be having the latest on this. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Alrighty, y'. All. So Kim Kardashian and Northwest and the fam were on a vacation or are on a vacation. They're over in Rome. And there were some photo photos taken of Kim in Northwest when they were out having dinner. They also posted a TikTok and as well too the same night. But fans are really, really, really upset right now because they feel like northwest northwest is 12 years old, is dressed too grown for her age because of her corset. Now here is the thing. Northwest on the TikTok does makeup all the time. She's into nails, she's into hair. Kim also talks about that. She's also into fashion. She loves to express herself this way, but people feel like you should be able to give her room to do so. But the corset on her because she's 12 was too much. So, you know, I think, I think.

[DJ Envy]

That is just so stupid because we.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Usually don't even see her like this. She usually wears baggy, super baggy. Like she's got real swaggy and you.

[DJ Envy]

Know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like baggy. Like so one night out because she got a corset on and she, mind you, she's fire. She looks so cute. She north always looks cute.

[DJ Envy]

I'll tell you one thing, as a parent, it gotta be weird to hear a bunch of adults talking about your child.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, but when you're Kim Kardashian, it's been happening since your babies were before they were even born.

[DJ Envy]

I'm sure you're used to it. I'm sure she ignores it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I mean, she has to. They flood like you go on the Tik Tok. They flood. They literally flooded in the comments with all types of.

[DJ Envy]

But when you say it, it seems like it's revealing or it shows not, but it's. It's not. She looks like a 12 year old, I think, honestly. Yep, she does.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She looks like a 12 year old out with her mom. And I don't think Kim really minds it. I mean, because they lived their whole life on in front, you know, in front of the World since she was daddy, you know, probably not that I.

[DJ Envy]

Agree, but also I'm speaking about this adults. Go tend to your dusty ass, children. Oh my God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know somebody kids is Dusty Kim Wish she could say that so bad though. I'm sure she wishes she could say that so bad because they do it with all her kids.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, she probably don't care but like Charlamagne said, tend to your own kids. Yeah, I didn't say that. I said tend to your dusty ass.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is so messed up.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I took the Dusty out but cuz we don't know if their kids are dusty. But tend to your own kids. Dusty could be a man. Take him out again. What you don't take nothing serious. Continue.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did that go over your head, sir? Yeah, that's like a gay inside of.

[DJ Envy]

They went over your what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What else? I said it went over my head. Well, in other news, an update here. Meek Mills posted to X. He can't wait until he gets a chance to show the world how smart he really is, man.

[DJ Envy]

Drop on the clues bombs for big Meek, man. Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Boy, I love when me getting the tweeting so long to do that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He been out for you know how long we've been knowing you and you just now can't wait to show us how smart you are.

[DJ Envy]

I'm sure he meant in business, but he wants to show them that you know his business moves and how smart he is in business. I'm assuming Mika's already showed me how smart he is. You know why M showed me how smart he is? Because Meek came from the trenches of Philadelphia. He made a lot of money and he's been able since, you know that whole wheelie incident to stay out of trouble. That right there shows me how smart you are. He was part of the lids thing. The lids investment. Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's got the dream.

[DJ Envy]

Remember when Michael Rubin was up here? Michael Rubin said that. I forgot how much money he said Meek investing in, but that's. You've already showed me how smart you are, sir. Yes, but I tell you what, don't show me how smart you are and you just be tweeting that right there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I can't wait to show you how.

[DJ Envy]

Smart I am because he tweet like a little kid. I can't wait to show y' all how smart I am.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what. That's why it's so funny to me. Like yo, you could have been.

[DJ Envy]

I can do it backwards, mommy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Meek said that. You know, he uses. He does. He uses X to get what he and social media to get, you know, to what he needs. So he must be about to, you know, have some conversations about some things, because a few days ago, he tweeted, I need distro for my dreams and nightmares book. Story of my life. Charlamagne.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, dope.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said, I prefer it to be the same place where I distro my music, too. This is how I shop. Laugh out loud. So nice.

[DJ Envy]

That'd be smart. If he does a bundle. If he does an album with a. A book, I think that'd be dope. If he did that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, I would definitely.

[DJ Envy]

If he distributed him together, that'd be dope.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, in other music news, I wanted to give a shout out to Master P. So yesterday, one of my friends from Turks and Caicos called me. You guys know that they recently had the. The big shooting between the relocation gangs, that it was like the big shooting at Lies or Lost all the things. Right. And. And there's a lot that people don't talk about when you talk about places like a Turks and K Lacos and places that you visit for vacation. When I got to go there last year, there's a guy named Jack who works with a ton of different community organizations, but they do something called Community Walk, and they did it this year with Master P. And from what I was told, they reached out to a bunch of different people that they have relationships with. But specifically, Master P was like, first to answer the phone, and he said to them, I want to go to the neighborhoods where, you know, those children or those. The people who were involved in those situations were from, because I want to really talk to the people. They said he was there. He spent hours in the community communities. He went up to, like, people that you're not just going to interact with. They don't just interact with people. These are people living in their neighborhoods who don't just randomly talk to tourists. But because they're fans of Master P, they were, like, listening. It was very much like, yes, sir, we hear you. He was pouring game into them, speaking life into them and having a conversation with them about the violence that does happen there sometimes and why it shouldn't. So I just want to take a moment to shout him out because I thought that that was so fire. When I went there, the people at Turks and Caico showed me so much love. So, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Also too, I want to say, Lauren, I respect people who don't just, you know, bring up problems. They also have solutions.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

And so I want to take some time to drop in the clues bombs for Portia Williams. Portia Williams. She's a person that always shows up for people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God. Here.

[DJ Envy]

She shows up for people who are in need. I have some gifts for you, Lauren LaRosa from Portia Williams. Did you pick these?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

No, I didn't pick these out. She said you can go pick some stuff. But this is a special 14 inch bob wig. It hasn't even come out yet. Okay. A body wave 28 lace front and a 28 inch HD body wave. Let me see that body wave lace front wig, courtesy of Gold Naked Hair.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't play see nothing. You called her.

[DJ Envy]

No, I did not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, you did. Because they hit me up and said, Charlemagne said. Charlemagne said, you ready to shop for some wigs? I said, okay, let me get to the front.

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, Portia, this one.

[DJ Envy]
