The conversation shifts to a controversial offer from Cutter, proposing a $400 million jet to President Trump. GOP Senator Rand Paul criticizes the offer as unconstitutional, stating, “The Constitution in Article 2, talks about the president can't take emoluments or gifts from foreign leaders” ([31:48]).

She recounted moments of feeling trapped and unable to resist due to emotional manipulation and substance use ([21:56]).

Morgan summarizes Cassie’s testimony, emphasizing the prosecution's success in portraying her as a victim who was taken advantage of, despite skepticism from some listeners about her credibility ([30:23]). Charlamagne Tha God reflects on the courtroom reactions, noting subdued responses to the explicit details shared by Cassie, including mentions of semen on nipples and drug use ([29:31]).

Legal Proceedings & Public Reaction [70:27-71:40]

Snoop shares his experiences collaborating with Dr. Dre, highlighting the mutual respect and artistic synergy that has defined his career ([39:31]).

He delves into the album’s themes, reflecting on personal losses and the emotional depth of his music.

Personal Reflections & Legacy [55:19-58:55]
Snoop opens up about his relationship with fallen friends like Tupac, expressing regret over unresolved conflicts and the impact of their passing on his music ([54:33]). He discusses the emotional toll of losing close friends and the cathartic role of music in processing grief ([56:16-57:28]).

DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God probe Snoop on his business ventures and future plans, including owning a hockey team and expanding his influence beyond music ([53:32-53:54]).

Coping Strategies & Biopsychosocial Model [83:00-95:50]
Dr. Joseph discusses the biopsychosocial model, explaining how biological, psychological, and social factors intertwine to affect mental health. She emphasizes that joy is essential for survival and offers strategies to access joy even in stressful environments, such as connecting with others and engaging in mindful activities ([84:07-85:50]).

Signs & Intervention [85:50-99:06]
The conversation explores the signs of high-functioning depression, differentiating it from burnout. Dr. Joseph highlights that individuals with hidden depression often busily engage in side hustles and caregiving roles to mask their inner turmoil ([86:38-87:04]). She advocates for self-awareness and individualized approaches to reclaiming joy, encouraging listeners to identify their unique sources of happiness ([87:09-95:50]).

The segment includes humorous and critical commentary from the hosts, creatively mocking Ezell’s actions and emphasizing the irrationality of her behavior.

Hosts’ Reactions & Discussion [78:51-79:57]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been eliminated from the NBA playoffs.

[Jess Hilarious]

The payoff?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Pacers beat them last night. 114. 1.

[Jess Hilarious]

And the Cavaliers were a number one seed. It's cool. Number one seed, you know, sets the stage for LeBron. Go back and play his final year in Cleveland. Maybe get. Maybe get them over the top, get them back to the Easter conference finals one last time next year.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think so?

[Jess Hilarious]

Maybe. I mean, that'd be a good story.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Good storyline.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Thunder beat the Nuggets last night. 112. 105okC Les Series 3, 2. I actually like the fact that the Paces actually beat him. I think the Knicks have a better chance of beating the Paces to beat the Cavs. But what's going on, Morgan?

[DJ Envy]

Hey.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Front page news.

[Morgan]

Somebody gotta do it. Let's do it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

President Trump is visiting the Middle East. Yeah. Saying the future of the region is quote, commerce, not chaos. He spoke to or he spoke at a Saudi US investment forum in Riyadh. And Trump told the audience that Iran is the greatest threat to the peace in the Middle East. And he also said he's offering the regime a better path.

[DJ Envy]

Forward.

[Jess Hilarious]

Forward.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let's take a listen to President Trump's comments from that event.

[DJ Envy]

Today we reaffirm this important bond and we take the take our relationship closer, stronger, and more powerful than ever before. The biggest and most destructive of these forces is the regime in Iran, which has caused unthinkable suffering in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, Yemen and beyond. But they cannot have a nuclear weapon.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Trump signed a $600 billion economic pledge with Saudi Arabia. This is the first stop on his four day trip to the region. Today would be day two. Now, the trip is focused on investment with several deals and agreements expected to be announced over the course of this trip. He also added that Iran will. Well, you heard it in the audio. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. The president also made an announcement lifting sanctions on Syria. Let's take a listen to that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I will be ordering the cessation of.

[DJ Envy]

Sanctions against Syria in order to give.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Them a chance at greatness.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So Trump. So the White House says Trump met with Syrian leader Ahmad Al Sharah in Riyadh and was joined by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salaam. With Turkey's president joining by phone. Now, the White House statement says that Trump thanked those two leaders for their friendship and told Al Sharah that he has a tremendous opportunity to do something historic for, for his country. Now, Trump also added his administration is also opening communication channels with the new regime that ousted the former dictator Bashar Al Sahad. And reports that the president will speak. Well, he did speak with the leader of Syria again. Also warned again that Iran needs to talk to the US About a peace deal. Moving on.

[Jess Hilarious]

They rolled the red carpet out for Trump yesterday, too. You saw the, you saw the custom mobile McDonald's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I did see they had.

[Jess Hilarious]

For him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yep, I seen that. And I had a question. You know, we talked about it yesterday, but they said that that jet that they were gifting him, is that a gift for him personally or is that a gift for, is that the new Air Force One? I was just.

[Jess Hilarious]

Man, knock it off. He gets it. He gets it. He gets it when he gets out of office. That's his.

[DJ Envy]

That's it. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't know that's what I was asking.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. How do you try to spin it?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, the administration did say that he was going to use it as Air Force One under his administration. But after, to Charlemagne's point, after he's going to get it and they said they're going to put it on display at his presidential muse or presidential library center. So.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, so he keeps that. Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, he, he keeps it. Secretary of State Marco Rubio now he will head to Turkey later this week for peace talks to begin, peace talks with Ukraine and Russia. Now, the direct talks between Russia and Ukraine will not be the first or it will be the first since early weeks of the war. Let's take a listen to President Trump talking about that.

[DJ Envy]

Talks are being held in Turkey later this week, probably on Thursday, and they could produce some pretty good results. Or are people are going to be going there. Marco is going to be going there.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Ukrainian President Zelensky said he will be available to meet with Russian President Putin, but Putin has not yet said if he was going to travel to Turkey. So we will continue to keep you posted on all of these international stories as they seem to impact the world and of course, and how they will impact us here on the home front at 7am will get into that cutter and that jet and all that stuff too, because Rand Paul had something to say and he's the gop. He's along party lines with Trump and he doesn't like the fact that Trump is going to be accepting this gift. So we'll get into that at seven.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines wide open again. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

Over the Cavaliers. I think so. I think the Cavaliers was. Was a great squad.

[Jess Hilarious]

All.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, but the Cav was the number one seed, the Pacers number four.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But that's what I'm saying. That's why I feel like we got a better chance of beating the Paces than the Cavs and the Cavs.

[Jess Hilarious]

But the Paces just showed you. That's not accurate. They just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I mean, the Cavs had a mess of game. I think we fare better with the Paces than the Cavs.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Thank you, Boo Charlemagne.

[Jess Hilarious]

You're welcome to the world. So happy Mother's Day to you, too, baby. Well, thank you. I mean, listen, I think you should tell men, happy Mother's Day because we make women mothers a clown.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you didn't. But do you say, happy Mother's Day to mothers on Father's Day?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, you should listen. No, but they make us father. I do want to say a special happy Mother's Day to someone. Okay, I don't think I've ever mentioned this, but I was one of the first ones she told me, but happy Mother's Day to my friend, my little bestie, Taylor Hayes.

[DJ Envy]

It's her first Mother's Day, so I'm.

[Jess Hilarious]

So excited for her. I'm gonna be a gunkle, y' all. That's right. Me and Charlamagne the gunkles, y' all. Hey, back in the 90s, they wouldn't let the gunkle around the kids.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

You're an idiot.

[Jess Hilarious]

Goodbye, drag in the 90s.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, I don't know what you talking about.

[Jess Hilarious]

My gate open was around me and then. You ain't been the same since.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's all right. He deserves it. You gotta hold that baby for.

[Jess Hilarious]

Man. We praying for P, man.

[DJ Envy]

Hello?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's this?

[Jess Hilarious]

Hey, good morning.

[DJ Envy]

This is James calling from North Carolina.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

James from nc. What up? Get it off your chest, brother.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, man, have y' all seen that plane that's being given to Trump by the Saudis?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, we haven't seen it, but we heard about it. I've seen pictures of the inside man.

[DJ Envy]

That thing is like a flying mansion. I mean, it's nicer than most people's homes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Four hundred and something.

[Jess Hilarious]

Million. I mean, Air Force One is the same thing, but. Yeah, I get what you're saying.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Yeah, man.

[Jess Hilarious]

This thing has an upstairs nine working showers.

[DJ Envy]

Or I mean, not working bathrooms with some of them having showers in them.

[Jess Hilarious]

You ain't never. You seen the inside of Air Force One? Air Force One is the same thing. I mean, I'm sure. I'm sure I've seen the inside of Air Force One. This thing is luxurious.

[DJ Envy]

Charlemagne.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm telling you, man. I believe you. Y' all will see it sooner or later. Well, we shouldn't see it at all, you know, because accepting gifts from foreign nations is. Is unconstitutional. You know, as Nikki Haley said yesterday, it's just never a good practice. And, you know, and this is Nikki Haley, who's a Republican. She said, if this were Biden, we'd be furious. Yeah, yeah, she. She write about that, man. And some people are concerned that it.

[DJ Envy]

Claims gonna be bugged with, like, wires and whatnot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So they can look that plane a million and one times.

[Jess Hilarious]

I said, but we. You don't know. I said that earlier this week. This is the same group that. That funds terrorist organizations. Like, that plane could be bugged. That plane could be a bomb, for all we know. How we know. They can't just make that plane fall out the sky when they want to.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get it off your chest.

[Jess Hilarious]

He got that plane. Remember on Barbershop when Ice Cube had Oprah's guest house on his wall? This dude got that plane on his wall.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It sound like he said he got a. They got telling you, man. 800-585-1051. Now we got the latest with Lauren.

[Morgan]

We do. So Cassie took the stand for the first day yesterday. I know she's A prosecution star witness. A lot of people feel like she didn't get the job done, but I actually think the prosecution took a win yesterday with her on the stand, and we're gonna talk about it. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You in court yesterday. Now, what's the outfit today for court?

[Morgan]

Oh, this is Milano D. Rouge. And I don't even know what the bottom is because I have the same. Yeah, they're like. It's like an Instagram brand. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

They're really nice, though.

[Morgan]

Yes. And they're shaped really well. Right. But it's so comfortable. I. Today I had to get a little comfortable.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Still look professional.

[Morgan]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lola Rosa is in court all week long at the Diddy case, and we'll talk to her next, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Lauren be coming with straight fat.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Jess Hilarious]

She gets the details.

[Morgan]

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

[Jess Hilarious]

She be having the latest on.

[DJ Envy]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Jess Hilarious]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Morgan]

So it's week two of Diddy's trial here in New York, and day two kicked off with Cassie, who was the star witness for the prosecutors taking the stand. Now, a lot of people feel like Cassie dropped the ball yesterday with her testimony, but I do not agree whatsoever. Cassie got on the stand and she detailed everything from the, you know, the first day that they met to the times that they spent together. Her 21st birthday where they.

[Jess Hilarious]

She.

[Morgan]

That was her first time kissing, and she admitted that she didn't want to kiss him. That she felt, you know, just very. She felt. She didn't know how to feel. She felt confused. She was young. She was crying. She set the scene early for the power dynamic of, you know, this big mogul who was supposed to be helping me in music, who had such a big life that she just uncontrollably fell in love with and things got bigger than her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was 17 year age difference, correct?

[Morgan]

Yes. And that was the narrative. And they were together, for those who don't know, for 10, 11 years. Now after she details a lot of the background starts going into the things that a lot of us wanted to know about. So they. They talk to her about the freak offs and. And what she says about the freak offs is that Diddy allegedly was in control. She says that, you know, he would. It was very well choreographed. Like, it was almost. When she was describing it, I was like, it sounds like he was shooting a music video.

[Jess Hilarious]

Executive producer.

[Morgan]

No, for real. For real. She says that, you know, there were certain supplies that they would have. Right. So they would do like candles as the lighting, and it would always be like Glade or there was another brand that she mentioned because she. He wanted it to smell a. And then she said. Then she says that they would get extra linens. And we've heard this story, but she said that because we heard before that there were extra linens because dookie on the sheets. So what she said was she was actually. She was actually made to have freak offs during her period. And so there would be blood on a lot of the sheets. And she said she didn't, of course, didn't want to do that, but she was being made to do that, allegedly. And she also alleged that there'd be urine on the sheets. And we've heard testimony about the urine and why that those things happened. Allegedly. And baby oil. She said that every. They would oil up so much. That was like a big thing for puff. Allegedly. Like, you had to be oiled that every five minutes they were like, just re. Oiling.

[Jess Hilarious]

Because he wants you to look like a shiny suit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, because it glistens and I guess it's the sexiness of baby oil on glisten.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like them shiny suits he used to wear in the 90s.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

This is so sad.

[Morgan]

I guess so. And then when we speak talking about the urine, you know, she. She talked about that in one of the free calls because they'd asked her, you know, we opened up our. Our testimony or our opening statement to prosecutors talking about, you know, you alleging that there was a male escort that was made to pee or. I'm sorry, to urinate on you.

[Jess Hilarious]

You can say pee. Same thing.

[Morgan]

Urinate on you. Can you detail that? So she starts to detail that. She says that at one point she was choking. Obvious reasons. And they asked her, why didn't you just ask them to stop? And when I say them, she updated. U.S. attorney Riley Freeman.

[Jess Hilarious]

Why. Why would you. Why wouldn't you just move out the way. That's what he asked.

[Morgan]

Basically they just act like, you know, at this. Because it didn't sound like she was being held against her will at that point, like, physically. So they're like, well, why would you. Just because she said she laid down with her hands up a Lot of times when that. When that was happening, because she didn't like it, and it was a lot going on. And she said that not only would the escorts do it, allegedly Puff would join in as well. And she said when it would get to a point where it was too much for her, sometimes he would tell the escorts, Puff would tell the S words, allegedly, like, yo, all right, let's stop. Let's chill. So they asked her, like, why wouldn't you just tell them to stop yourself? And she said, I mean, I'm laying on the floor allegedly intoxicated by all these things, and it's two men standing over me. What am I going to do?

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

So I just laid there with pee.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And the reason they asked that question is because they know the defense is going to ask that question. So they try to. To make sure that they ask questions that the defense asked to, you know, to make it more comfortable.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but she broke the freak off down in steps as well. She said that the first step was there was, like, masturbation, and they would have to do masturbation. It would be her and the escort, and she would have to talk out loud, describe what she was seeing. She would have to be very descriptive because. Because allegedly, Puff would want to hear.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

That he would be blindfolded, right?

[Morgan]

No, not all the time. Because once they got more comfortable with the escorts, from what it seems like she's describing, the blindfolds would come off and all that stuff.

[Jess Hilarious]

You got mad notes, Lauren. I need to see those.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And they're highlighted. I had to organize them better because I felt like yesterday I had a lot of information that I didn't get, so I organized them better. Highlights. I made notes in the back of important points to get to in here. You can read these.

[Jess Hilarious]

Lauren is in the courtroom.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

That was a new notebook.

[Morgan]

Yeah, no, I bought a second one yesterday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

That's crazy.

[Morgan]

So, yeah, so that. That first step was the descriptive foreplay, and then step two was the touching. Now, step two, she alleges, is that's when all the baby oil comes out. Step three is oral. And she says that a lot of times she would rush to get to the oral because she just wanted to get over with because she kept making a point of she didn't want to do this. She just was doing it because she was so in love. And she said she didn't want him to go and do it with anybody else. Now, Steph, step four was the actual intercourse where they would engage in, you know, sex. And she Said that sometimes Puff would just watch. Allegedly. But then she said other times he might join in if he were. If they were really comfortable with an escort. I can't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you can't say that part.

[Morgan]

That would look like her getting Puff fellatio.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Felicia.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

And Sorry. And the. The other escort having sex with her at the same time. Now, she did give us an update. I didn't know if I needed. She said that a lot of times after they would finish, the escorts would have a happy ending and Puff would make her take that happy ending and rub it on his nipples. And then they would engage in whatever they were going to do. Just Cassie and Puff.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So his man milk on Puff's nipples.

[Morgan]

That's what Cassie's alleging. That she. That that Puff liked her to rub it on his chest and on his nipples.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jesus.

[Jess Hilarious]

And then so chocolate covered nipples with a semen drizzle.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shut up, man.

[Morgan]

And glaze.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

We have to say glaze.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, so, yeah, Diddy likes his nipples medium well with a semen glaze.

[Morgan]

Yeah. She said that anytime that she was having intercourse during the free calls by herself and Puff would just be allegedly listening or watching, he would then ask her about it after. And very. He'd be very descriptive. Like, he would ask her, how did the D feel?

[Jess Hilarious]

Did she rub the semen in the nipples like a DJ scratches a record? Or did she rub in like lotion?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Keep going, keep going.

[Morgan]

She didn't really specify why you answering?

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Going back to right here, Clown. Look, you said that she said she didn't want him to do it with anybody else. Is that because she didn't want anybody to endure any like, hey, what up, y' all?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with their fans. Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition and Degree listened. They admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade.

Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG degree. Cool rush for yourself.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Things that she was doing or the way that she put his girlfriend, like, what's happening?

[Morgan]

The way that she put it. She said it on stand. I was a very jealous girlfriend when it came to him, other women. And she said, you know, this is this powerful rich man who she was so in love with. She felt vulnerable because he had shared this secret of these voy isms and freak offs that he liked to do. She didn't want another woman coming in and sweeping up in her place. And a lot of times she alleges, and we saw actual text messages, they brought up where she tried to tell him she didn't want to do a freak off. And he was like, oh, okay, you're boring. You're predictable. I'm sorry. He said, you're predictable. But it was giving the effect of, I don't want him to think I'm boring. I don't want him to think that I'm not down. So I'm gonna just do it so.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

You don't question it with somebody else.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Did he like. Did he let the semen cool off? Does he like his semens warm?

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

What else do we have?

[Morgan]

I don't know the answer to that, but I will say she mentioned that he sometimes liked the oil to be warm. And they would do. They would pour wax on each other from the candles sometimes. You know, allegedly, Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The first day you were in court, you said, you know, the, you know, everybody in the court and the. The judges and the attorneys. Not the judge, the attorneys that were outside watching. And the press believe day one went to Diddy. So day two, what did they say in day two went to prosecution or Diddy as well?

[Morgan]

People believe that it went to Diddy. But I would argue different. I will argue that day two went to the prosecution because even if you didn't feel like they gave you all the ev they needed, which she gave a lot, she said that they hired these escorts. She said that they engaged in, you know, these sexual things with these escorts.

[Jess Hilarious]

She said, did he got semen recipes?

[Morgan]

She. She said a lot yesterday. That sets them up for the landing. They just haven't landed the plane yet. And I think that if anything, you walked away believing that this woman could have been taken advantage.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But they also said people are leaving. If during that people were snapping and.

[Morgan]

Sleeping, it was that people felt like they were. The prosecution was taking too long to get to the gut punch. That's how people felt because they spent so much time on their history, on why she didn't do this. They kept asking her a lot of the same questions about the drugs they were taking. And. But what I think that the prosecution was building is they were building character around this witness. So you have this pregnant woman that you're looking at, and she was. Y' all. She barely cried, right? I'm wrapping up right now.

[Jess Hilarious]

Is she taking a stand today?

[Morgan]

She's taking a stand again today.

[Jess Hilarious]

Eight weeks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just asking because she's there and what was it?

[Jess Hilarious]

And we already have semen on the nipples.

[Morgan]

We're gonna bring this back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Semen on the nipples. What was the family's reaction? What was her husband's reaction? What was the courtroom's reaction when they said he liked seme?

[Jess Hilarious]

Let's talk about it.

[Morgan]

Yeah, we're going. We're going to bring it back in the next hour because there's. There's a lot more. Well, wrapping up the free cross and then we're going to go into. She. She watched. We watched the video with Cassie in court yesterday. So that was another.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What video?

[Morgan]

Did you watch the video of the, of the beating in the hotel? Those videos may not get played, but we'll talk about that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right. All right. When we come back, we got front page news. And Snoop will be joining us. And we'll get back to Diddy and the nipples and all that in a little bit. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Wake up, Wake up.

[Jess Hilarious]

You're locked into the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Morning, everybody. It's D envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news now. Last night, NBA playoffs, the Thunder beat the Nuggets 112, 105. Paces beat the Cavaliers 114, 105. Morning, Morgan.

[DJ Envy]

Well, good morning. Good morning.

[Morgan]

Can you hear me?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, y' all, let's get back into it. So Democrats aren't the only ones raising concerns about this Cutter jet. So Cutter is offering a $400 million jet to President Trump. GOP Senator Rand Paul. He is along the lines of. Of President Trump. He's from Kentucky. He says Trump has no business accepting a gift of this magnitude. Let's take a listen to his comments.

[DJ Envy]

The constitution in Article 2, talks about the president can't take emoluments or gifts from foreign leaders. And so there is a provision in the Constitution says, you can't do this. I think it's not worth the appearance of impropriety, whether it's improper or not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think it's worth it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Speaking from the White House on Monday, Trump said turning down a free jumbo jet would be, quote, stupid. Now, Trump will fly to Qatar for a state visit today, and the Arab nation is at the center of this controversy over this offer to give Trump the lavish jet. They're also expected to announce hundreds of billions of dollars in US Investments. So Trump is like, I'll take the plane if y' all go ahead and invest.

[Jess Hilarious]

But it's. It's unconstitutional. You cannot take the plane. The U.S. constitution prohibits government officials from accepting gifts from any king, prince, or foreign state. Full stop.

[Morgan]

Stop.

[Jess Hilarious]

So, you know, we got wrong. Yeah, we got to stop having this conversation. Like, you know, maybe he can, maybe he can't. No, it's actually just unlawful to do. Like, he's not supposed to do it. It's unconstitutional.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's been. He hasn't done anything by the book. You think this is going to change it?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I was just about to say, who going to check him, Boo.

[Jess Hilarious]

The American people should check them. The people, the elected officials should check them. Because at the end of the day, that every. That president is beholden to the Constitution of the United States of America. If we're in a post constitutional society, I can't even begin to tell you how screwed we are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but we've seen a lot of the things that he did. So if he. If he didn't follow the Constitution to follow the laws before, what. What thinks we gonna.

[Jess Hilarious]

He gonna do it now? Once again, if we're in a post constitutional society, I can't wait to tell y' all how screwed we are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are we screwed?

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. Are you ready to be a slave? Cause, you know, if we do. If we. If we just saying, f the Constitution, you ready to be considered saying, ready to be considered 3/4 of a human again? Nope.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Well, I never was. But no, because you said again. But, no, I'm not ready. I'm not ready for none of this.

[Jess Hilarious]

And Rand Paul. You know, it's so funny. When I gave donkey of the day Monday, it was Republicans who I saw talking, speaking out against this way before Democrats Laura Loomer, the Nikki Haleys, and Rand Paul. Like, they. They. No, this is against the US Constitution. It's not lawful. It prohibits government officials from accepting gifts. It's so plain.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

So look, can he. The fact that Republicans actually said that it was wrong. Could he fire them? Like, could he.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm sure. I'm sure he's not happy.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

That simple.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm sure. He's not happy with them speaking out against them, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Absolutely. And hopefully they clock his clock that t. Switching gears to immigration, a federal judge in Pennsylvania is now ruling that President Trump can in fact use the Alien Enemies act to deport alleged members of foreign terrorist organizations. This would allow the government to remove members of MS.13 or the Venezuelan gang trend, which the administration has designated as a terrorist group. Now, despite this, the judge has said authorities must give immigrants at least 21 days notice before they're deported, which has also been a long term argument in regarding to regarding this administration and how they've been operating with deportations. 21 days is a lot for them. The the ruling conflicts with findings by several other judges who have also ruled that the president does not have the power to use the Alien Enemies act to remove gang members. So again, to your point, Charlemagne stuff that's going to be stuck in the courts trying to figure out what's right, what's. Well, you know, what's right and what's wrong. But it's a matter of clocking that t and making sure that those who are operating in the wrong status are held accountable for that. Yeah. And nearly two dozen Democratic states attorneys generals are suing President Trump over attempts to link some federal grants to immigration enforcement. This includes California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who says says the lawsuits seek to stop the Trump administration from withholding transportation, homeland security and emergency preparedness grants unless states enforce federal immigration laws. Let's take a listen to Attorney General Rob Bonta from California.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're suing President Trump for unlawfully imposing immigration enforcement requirements on billions of dollars in annual U.S. department of Transportation and.

[G]

U.S. department of Homeland Security grants.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's be clear. The president doesn't have the authority to.

[G]

Coerce state and local governments into using.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Their resources for immigration enforcement. This is a blatantly illegal attempt to bully states into enacting Trump's inhumane and illogical immigration agenda.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So the loose the two lawsuits were filed in a Rhode island federal court on Tuesday that looked to block the Trump administration's efforts to force the states to cooperate with immigration enforcement on a federal level or not receive federal funds. Now, the grants are for things like disaster relief, cyber security and transportation. Now, Bonta says sometimes these lawsuits take time. But in many of the lawsuits filed against the president in the last 16 weeks, success has come quickly. Now, this group of 20 states that joined the lawsuit also includes New Mexico, Minnesota, and of course, you guys, New York, where Latisha James is the ag. So these are things that I'm going to continue to keep you guys posted on and that's your front page news.

All right, now, when we come back, Snoop Dogg will be joining us. That's right. Uncle Snoop will be here. His new album, is it a Crime? Is out tomorrow. We're gonna kick it with Snoop, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.

[Jess Hilarious]

Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious Charlamagne, the guy we order breakfast. Clean club. We got a special guest in the building.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, indeed, Snoop Dogg.

[DJ Envy]

What's up with y' all?

[Jess Hilarious]

The icon living, man. How you feeling, my man?

[DJ Envy]

Working hard and hardly working. Happy to be back in the big.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Apple now with this album here, Snoop.

[Jess Hilarious]

Is it a crime?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is it a crime?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I feel like listening to this album, like, I don't know why, but I feel like you have something to prove. Like, you want to prove to people that you can. You can rap and you get busy. Like, you know, listening to this album last night, I'm like, this ain't no just fun Snoop album.

[Jess Hilarious]

This is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to show you guys I can spit. I can rap. Rap, too.

[DJ Envy]

You know, I'm a rapper, so we competitive. So when you're not hearing or seeing, then you get to, you know, feeling like, maybe I need to try one more time or get back into what I do. I'm an mc and I love to rap. I love to make music, and people love my voice, and they love when I make great records. And when I don't make great records, people let me know that as well. So it. I hear all of that, and it makes me say to myself, I should treat myself like a musician and not like a rapper. A rapper, because if you're a musician, you can make music until you die, but when you're a rapper, they try to put a cap on you. So I'm in the musician mind state of, you know, whatever feels good to you must be good for you. And when I make music, sometimes it's good for you.

[Jess Hilarious]

What. What was missionary to you?

[DJ Envy]

Missionary was Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg getting together for the first time in 20 some years, allowing Dr. Dre to produce Snoop Dogg for the first time. And what I mean by produce, I mean by producing. Like, say, for instance, I was a R B singer, and they'll present an R B singer a song and say, I need you to sing this song exactly like that. That's what missionary was. Songs being presented. Spirits of Dr. Dre driving and leading and producing Snoop Dogg for what he thought was best for him at the time. The first records that we did together, he was the producer, I was the rapper. I would rap, spit, emotion, feel. He would take that and create it and make it into what it was. This was the first time that I was not writing my own material, allowing them to take the lead. Because I believe in Dr. Dre. And when he drives, I sit in the passenger seat. And that was a project that he drove. So I got back into my seat and let him drive.

[Jess Hilarious]

Do you think y' all created an impossible. An impossible bar for yourselves with the Chronic, with doggy style, with 2001?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

I don't think it's an impossible bar. I just think it's the times. You gotta understand. When those records came out, rap wasn't popular. So he wasn't fighting against 400 rappers. That was coming out with an album every day. And the sound that we had was original and it was unique, and it wasn't no mimicking or duplicating. So you had a chance to understand what real music sounded like. There's a cloud right now where it's a lot of music that sounds alike, a lot of artists that sound alike. When I came up, it wasn't two rappers that sounded alike. I can name five that sound sounding like right now. And you can, too.

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

It's not a bad thing. It's just you was able to clearly see and hear what was great. Right now you have to fight through so much to find out what's great. So to me, missionary is great when you catch up to it. If you don't catch up to it, then it ain't meant for you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People forget how much respect that you have for Big Right. Listen to this album, and I see you taking clips and bits of hair, and it makes me realize, like, damn. Snoop really respected that man's craft and really loved him as an artist.

[DJ Envy]

But if you knew when he was alive, he respected my craft.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm sitting in the crib dreaming about Lynn jets and Coops and how to sell records like Snoop.

[DJ Envy]

So it's. It's mutual. Like, there's. Now. There's nothing wrong with showing love, but back then, it was frowned upon. If I said I got love for him and he got love for me, but we didn't care. We both went on a Limb and allowed people to know that I got love for this man. And I have no problem with saying that, standing on that. It is who I am. And I'm glad that I was able to do that. So it's documented. It's testimony. It is what it is. You can't fix that, and you can't change that.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Me and OG Snoop with Sexy, right?

[DJ Envy]

I knew you was gonna go to that record. I just knew you was gonna go to that particular record. You get everything. Go all the way to song 15, right?

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Y' all talking about this old man.

[Morgan]

I want.

[DJ Envy]

Look.

[Jess Hilarious]

I want.

[DJ Envy]

Look at it, man.

[Jess Hilarious]

The record is called Me and OG Damn.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

But I love it, though. I love it. I love it. But I. You know, I want to know, how did that come about? Like, the. How was the vibe in the studio with Sexy?

[DJ Envy]

Now, look, Sexy Red is the home girl. I love her to death. Yeah. Now, how we got together was she was coming to LA and needed a studio, and my studio was close proximity to lax offered her to use the studio when she come over. You know, my family, we don't do nothing but hospitably make you feel at home. It smells good. We got blankets, food.

[Jess Hilarious]

We.

[DJ Envy]

We got game room. So we just giving her the blue carpet treatment, and she just loving every minute of it. So I'm like, brad, let's go in the studio. We in the studio, and we just talking, and she asking me questions about my career. Like, you know, unc, you tight. How you be doing this and that? We get past that. I'm like, what's up with a record? She like, you want to do one? I'm like, hell, yeah. Put on the track. She ain't feeling it. I'm like, damn. So I gotta call all my homies and make the kind of music that she like. So one of the homies sent some video beats. She listening. When she hear the beat, she like. She grab her phone. She kicked them first bars off, and then she said. I'm like, oh, she really get out. She go in the booth, she spit it, I spit mine. We listen to it, and we vibing. And then she come back to the studio like, a week straight, and we just bonding like uncle and niece. It's just a relationship that we building. So it was one of those things where it was a moment that we captured. Captured just because I was being hospitable to let her use the studio. And then the record came about because we just naturally connected with each other. My spirit is open. I've always been like, That I don't frown upon the new MCs, the new girls I like. I open up to everybody. If I don't like your thing, you'll never know it publicly.

[Jess Hilarious]

On west up, you say, why should I retire?

[DJ Envy]

Why the should I retire, homie? It's our time. What's up?

[Jess Hilarious]

Do you feel like the west coast is having some type of renaissance right now, don't you? Yes. Yeah. I mean, I feel like, to me, the west ain't never left, but I've always been a person that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Are you kidding me? There's never been this many west coast records on radio ever.

[DJ Envy]

And trust me, it's not a lot.

[Jess Hilarious]

Now it's just Kendrick.

[DJ Envy]

No, but that's just the point. When Dre, Snoop, Tupac, all of us was in our heyday, it wasn't spinning like that because it still was some hesitation on. We ain't them. Them ain't here. We ain't playing it. Like, y' all know the rule when they leave, turn that off now. It's like it stays on. So I'm like, I can't believe they actually really playing. This is what I really love about New York radio. When y' all start opening up to the stage, I don't really care about us because we was gonna make ours. But when y' all opened up to the south, that made me know that the hip hop game was expanding because y' all used to on them bad bad, and we they cousins, so we used to feel it the second half of it. So when y' all allowed them to come in and get they expression off, that's when I was like, it's some great things happening in New York because it gives the game a chance to expand and not be trapped. Now look at what hip hop is now. It's global.

[Jess Hilarious]

So even at the peak in the 90s, right. I don't even want to call it the peak because y' all was. Y' all been going for a long time. But when you know it was the. The Chronics and the Doggy Styles and Pac was out. This right moment right now feels bigger than that.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh.

[DJ Envy]

Because we had a bunch of us right now, it's like K Dot was standing up top at that time. We was all on the mountaintop. Like, you got cube, 40, show, dog pound. This just was just a West Coast. Every heavyweight right now, Hendrick is the heavyweight. So it's like, that's why I'm coming back, so I can get his back to let him know that the OG Stand, Woody and Got his back. You understand what I'm saying? That's what we do as musicians. We put our flags down and we let people know that we do make great music representing our coast. But it's not a coastal thing because we make music for everybody.

[Jess Hilarious]

Did y' all ever talk after he dropped whacked out murals for what? I mean, just to have a conversation.

[DJ Envy]

What's there talk about? That's my little homie. He spoke his mind. He said what he said. Like, like. And like I said earlier, like, as an older guy, sometimes we don't have radar on what we doing. Just so y' all can know, the scenario of what happened. It was a repost from Gin and Juice that who Kid sent me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn, who Kid.

[DJ Envy]

But it had that song in it. I don't even know what the song was. I just reposted on my. Because it's my brand. Then when I get wind of it, naturally I reach out to nephew, let him know, my bad. I didn't mean that. And naturally he responded the way he responded. Well, we family. Like, you can't have a spat or a misunderstanding with your brother, your cousin. Of course that's how it's supposed to be. It ain't supposed to get no bigger than that. It's supposed to be understood. What's understood don't need to be explained. See, a big dog can get checked if it's by the right person, if he got the right intellect. There's nothing wrong with being properly put in place if you out of place. That's what's wrong with half of us, that we feel like the young generation can't tell us nothing. You used to be young, too. And you had a mind and you had a spirit. And sometimes the young generation can't teach the old dog a new child trick if he willing to listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're still kicking it with Snoop. Now, on the album, you talk about Nate Dog and. And Nate Dog's catalog. So break that down. And what are you doing with that if you. If you own it?

[DJ Envy]

I said, I got Nate Dog catalog in the pipeline.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, Warren G told you to get what's mine.

[DJ Envy]

So basically what that is, it's more about lining up business for us to be able to own our thing. Nate Dog's estate is what his family. Warren G's is with his. Mine is with mine. It's a line of ownership. You understand what I'm saying? Teaching ownership through lyrics. Because a lot of us make records, get our production up, and then we sell it, and then we think we did a good thing.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know, that song is called Sophisticated Crippling. And you do say Warren G said, guess what? Get what's mine. What does Warren G mean to you?

[DJ Envy]

Warren G, probably the best friend that I got that only me and him understand each other. Other. Like the passion that Warren G has for me and had for me as an artist in the beginning, it's like Don King, like, a promoter who promotes a fighter. Like, believing in Snoop before anybody else and then seeing Snoop do what he does and still having that believability and watching our friendship grow into, like, grown men and fathers and losing people in our lives. You know, when he lost his mom, I didn't understand what I was there for for him. Then when I lost my mom, I didn't understand he was there for me. There's been certain situations where we have become super close behind tragedy and behind love. And then at the same time, you got to look at this music industry. This music industry is trifling. It's crazy. You think about how he brought me to Death Row, but Death Row didn't sign him.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's crazy.

[DJ Envy]

So there's a lot of animosity and frustration and anger in him. Him off of that. Not at me, but at the situation at home. And as an artist, if you pushing for me, you want for me to do this. But as an artist, I'm feeling up because they left my homeboy. So it's like, these are things that we never had a chance to, like, fully get an understanding on because it's pain. It's like the pain I had to deal with when I went through whatever I went through. Sometimes as men, we know how to express that. But as a friend, we always there for each other. So if I can make that as the point. Our relationship is like that, where it's more getting into life rather than music and fun.

[Jess Hilarious]

I saw something recently. He was doing an interview, and he said he felt snubbed during the super bowl performance. But then he also said, I just wanted to be there while they was making missionary. He was like, I don't want no money or nothing like that. I just wanted to kick it with my people.

[DJ Envy]

Well, you know how it is when you're in the studio. But here's what I want to say. His relationship with Dr. Dre is his relationship. His relationship with me is our relationship. When I'm working with Dr. Dre, I don't bring nobody with me. I bring myself, because I'm not responsible for nobody but me. Now, if Dr. Dre wants people to come. That's his job to say, I need this person, that person. I've always been that way. When it. When it's time for me to do a job, I don't like bringing to the job that I'm gonna be accountable for, All I can be accountable for is me. So when I come to work, I show up by myself. When I work with Pharrell, by myself. I myself, Dr. Dre, by myself. Certain. I don't bring that with me because I don't know what you going to do or how you going to act. So when I'm going to work, when you go to work, who you bring with you?

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Just my brother.

[DJ Envy]

Who you coming to work with?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Myself.

[Jess Hilarious]

God.

[DJ Envy]

See what I'm saying? So it's like, imagine you got to go, I'm going to go to work right now. Y' all, come on. How much work you gonna really get done?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, I want to ask, you know, as an og, you know, back then, dealing with the press and public was easier, right? It was magazines. China eleven news is gone. But now you got social media. So when you look at all the stuff that you do, you know, whether it's the football league that got so many kids in the NFL and the give backs and all the things that we can go on and on and on, and then you hear people's opinions on when you did the crypto ball. Does that bother you?

[DJ Envy]

Nah, I call it 30 for 30. Let me explain that to you. I DJed at the crypto ball for what, 30 minutes? Made a whole bunch of money, made a lot of relationships to help out the inner city and the community and teach financial literacy and crypto. Crypto in a space that it don't exist. That's 30 minutes. 30 years. Snoop Dogg been doing great things for the community building, showing up, standing up for the people, making it happen, being all I can be. So which one is it? 30 for 30. 30 minutes or 30 years? Oh, is it a crime?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nope.

[Jess Hilarious]

I hated that, man. I ain't gonna lie. I hated how they came with you.

[DJ Envy]

I love how my people defended me. But I didn't give y' all no ammunition, meaning that I never said nothing. So it was kind of becoming like, damn, man, y' all keep riding on dog and. And I ain't gonna have that. Y' all can't. But damn, he ain't saying nothing. So it's like, I can't fight for another man that ain't gonna fight for itself. So is it a crime? I'm fighting.

[Jess Hilarious]

And then they kept taking the video saying, well, he said this about Trump back then, but then he dj, but he. It's not. You didn't endorse nobody. You just. You DJ the party.

[DJ Envy]

But those are bots. And then it's entertainers who was getting behind it and trying to make something out of it. Which to me is like most of those guys, they live off of the Internet and live off of that energy. The things that I do. If even if I would have done it for him and hung out with him and took a picture with him. Can't none of you motherf er tell me what I can and can't do. But I'm not a politician. I don't represent the Republican Party. I don't represent the Democratic Party. I represent the mother Gangster party. Period, point blank. And G, we don't explain. So that's why I didn't explain. That's why I didn't go into detail when mother was trying to counsel me and say he a sellout. Even on my Instagram page, like after that, I would post and I see Mother like, oh, he a sellout. You know what I would do? Jump right in. They mother DM with a video. You shut your Snoop Dogg what you want to do and guess what they would do. Oh, man, I'm just a fan, man. I didn't really. I'm sorry, man. Snoop, I just. Yeah, you got me up. I jump all off in your. Talk to you face to face. Don't hit me on no, he'll sell out on Instagram or this and that. Cuz I'm really engaging like that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Some people were saying that that was. That was Trump cashing in a favor because Harry O. Got popped pardoned. And you were instrumental in his Harry. Oh, getting pardoned. And I mean, I don't, I don't know if that's true. That's what.

[DJ Envy]

Well, the Internet rumor was the Internet love sparking things. But Trump did get Harry O. Out. That is a fact. That is a fact. And I performed at the Crypto Ball for David Sachs, who's been a friend of mine for 15 years, who was head of the cryptocurrency situation that was put into that position. So it was more or less a relationship that I had with Charlamagne and Charlemagne was put into office by the President, but Charlamagne's been my friend for 15 years, and me and Charlemagne been getting money together and we work in this crypto thing that nobody know about. And then Charlemagne say, dog, I got this Crypto player that's gonna bring some money back in the hood. Cool. I'm. I'm with you. You helping the hood out, not knowing that the hood gonna talk. Like, what does that part work when I'm trying to help y' all? But y' all talking. That's why a lot of times when people make it, they don't come back.

[Jess Hilarious]

Dang.

[DJ Envy]

For that reason. Amazing. It's the truth.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Y' all love it. You got so many business ventures, yo. Like, what made you say, like, I want a hockey team, I want to own a hockey team?

[DJ Envy]

It's different, Jazz. You got to think out of the box. They ain't gonna let us own no football team or no basketball team. So I gotta go in an area where I could possibly actually own a lot of it. You know, the people that own teams in those worlds that I just said, they don't own 50 of them. They own people. Little, small increments. I'm trying to get 60, 70%.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

So that way, it's really ownership. You know what I'm saying? That's. And I looked at that sport as, wow, that's a great sport that nobody's paying attention to that has not been brought to that level. There's no star power there yet. I've always thought about businesses and places that haven't been affected yet. I don't want to be in a lane where it's already working. We want to go somewhere where it ain't working so we can create a whole new avenue.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hey, that merch hard, too, Snoop.

[DJ Envy]

So let me tell you about it. So the album cover, right? Is it a crime? If you notice, you see my wife in the front, right? So for my whole career, she had my back, and this is the first time I put her on the front. She cover this album cover so everybody can know that she got my back. She with me. She's standing by my side. There you go. And now she get to sign and look at it. She gang banging.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

I love it.

[Jess Hilarious]

How much she charging?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I was gonna say that. How much she charged me?

[DJ Envy]

Oh, half. That's why she got her half.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Like, I love it.

[DJ Envy]

You know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, also on the album that comes out tomorrow, you say one of your biggest regrets was not squashing things with Pac. Yeah, that still sits with you to this day.

[DJ Envy]

It do, because he was really my friend and sometimes be talking like they don't really know, but that was my friend, and he was, like, dear to me. And anytime you got a relationship with Somebody and it's like, it's working, it's going good, and then y' all get an argument, then die. Like, come on, man. I. I didn't even get a chance whether I was wrong or right just to be able to get that follow up. But the beautiful part was his mother was still here. And I got a chance to hug her and talk to her and get the approval from her, which was his spirit, because he was always connected to her. So that gave me half clarity on where I was with him because his mother always had that love.

[Jess Hilarious]

Was. Was the record my friend was that hard to write.

[DJ Envy]

Oh my God. The non Porter sent me that record. And when he sent it to me, he was crying on the track. You could hear him crying like before he do his hook, certain pieces. And it took me like six days to even write my first couple of lines. And then when I wrote him, I went in the booth and I was like. My spirit was like sad. I was like, I can't be crying singing this song. So then I got my spirit right, right? Put the lyrics down. And then I sent it to Denon and he tells me. And I didn't tell you, but I lost my brother too after you. And I'm like, damn. It just was like the spirit of both of us lo losing our brothers, me writing this lyrics to this song. And then it was the point of listening to the song. I swear to God, man, I cried like the first 20 times I heard this song. I just. I just got past the point now where I can listen to it and watch. Watch it without crying. But if the wrong people in the room, I'mma cry.

[Jess Hilarious]

You think you'll be able to perform it?

[DJ Envy]

No way.

[Jess Hilarious]

Damn.

[DJ Envy]

It's. It's that deep. And I never thought I would make a song like that that would make me cry. You crying off your own song? I'm open like that, Paul. So you know, you use that.

[Jess Hilarious]

When you lost people like that, that close to you, you do you ever feel alone, like, because you snoop, right? You walk in the room, you are icon, people idolize you. But when you in a room full of people, do you. Do you still feel alone because you don't have those people that. That. That was that close to you.

[DJ Envy]

You know what music sparks that certain songs, like if these three words come on, I'm gone, I'm gone. When the last time that they heard him say your mother and your brother, it's like, all right, what. Why is you. Come on, Stevie, you hurting me right now. Like that record Right there. When it comes on, I don't care where I'm at. I could be in a gang meeting, a real serious gang meeting. And they be like, yeah, cuz we finna go on a mission. Hey, man, time out, man. The meeting over. It's one of their records, man.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Has anybody ever tried to out smoke you?

[DJ Envy]

Yes. And them died. Like, you know how many. Yes. You know how many people that they tried to out? It was this one girl that wanted to smoke with me, and we had like a guitar like, right over there. So she smoking with me. All of a sudden, she fall. Bam. And her wig is stuck in the guitar.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, man.

[DJ Envy]

And like, help her out. We like, nah, leave her ass over there. You want to smoke with the dog? Like, I get challenged all the time. And my thing is, you know, do your thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You the world up one good time. When you. When you did that commercial or, you know, you put. You put on your story, your Instagram that you was. You were. Stop smoking weed.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

You thought I had cash or you just thought the worst.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Everybody was like. Everybody was like, I'm not smoking. No, Snoop's quitting. I'm quitting. Like, I see so many people say they were quitting.

[Jess Hilarious]

Meek Mill was out there like, I'm quitting too.

[DJ Envy]

See that let you know the dog has a strong.

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

You do. Right there, follow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did they all give you the middle finger after, like.

[DJ Envy]

But some of my businesses, like, double dutched on me. They thought I like my cannabis businesses. They was. They was in shock because that's what a lot of money I make. And they was like, it's. And I didn't tell them. So when they finally got the word, they was like, oh, my God. We thought we was gonna lose the business. I'm like.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right now, does it take a lot? Are you.

[DJ Envy]

No, I mean, the weed I smoke get me there quick. You know what I'm saying? I smoke Death Row weed. It's available in stores everywhere.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know, Fat Joe, I saw Fat Joe saying. Because he got the new pie with him and Jadakiss, and he said, Kendrick Lamar surpassed you in two. Tupac is the most dominant rappers of the West Coast. What are your thoughts?

[DJ Envy]

He can't say that he's not from the West Coast. And that's no disrespect. That's just facts. That's like me coming out here saying that Jay Z ain't the king. I don't know who run New York. This, y' all, but I do know when it comes to the west coast. Everybody riding with Kendrick, hands down. And it's been that way. So he is the king. That is no doubt. He is the king. But as far as what Fat Joe said said, you would have to ask the whole west coast and the west coast would have to give you because you got certain people from the bay who ride with the bay. We love what we love, but you can't say that if you're not from that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, saying surpass, that's a strong, strong word.

[DJ Envy]

It really is.

[Jess Hilarious]

Kendrick wanted them ones, don't get me wrong. But you know, y' all have stood the test of time. Even you know Pac is immortal.

[DJ Envy]

We're talking about 30 of being on top.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Not in the middle or down there, there. It ain't never been a time where I was down there. I've always been up there, even when my records wasn't high.

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely. Do you think you've already fulfilled your purpose? Are you still searching for what God really put you in?

[DJ Envy]

I know what I'm here for. I put a gospel album out on April 27 from Spirit of My Mother on Death Row Records.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

For your Yourself understand what I'm here for. I know I'm one of them chosen ones. I know what my spirit is here to do. Been through the fire so I can get to the light and I just know that I'm being used for a certain reason. I know I'm an angel. I know that they put this kind of pressure on the ones that can handle it the most. I know that what my purpose is. I know why so many people love me and magnate to me. So I do the. The right things and try to stay on the right side. You know, I do wrong every once in a while. That's part of life. But I try to do more right. Right. And try to be an example of what you're supposed to be.

[Jess Hilarious]

Is there a moment you wish you could relive? Not to change it, but just to feel it more deeply?

[DJ Envy]

Falling in love with my wife for the first time, that was a beautiful moment right there, man. I had butterflies in my stomach and all kind of stuff. Like. Like just that pure feeling of that going back to that. Because after you have so much success, you forget about what regular stuff feel like. That was special, man. Just thinking. Thinking like, man, I'm gonna get to do it to her.

[Jess Hilarious]

Jesus Christ. That's beautiful. Now y' all got a whole legacy, you know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Jess Hilarious]

That moment led to a legacy.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do you post everything yourself, Snoop?

[DJ Envy]

Oh, yeah, that's me.

[Jess Hilarious]

All day long.

[DJ Envy]

That's me. I'm a machine 24.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

7.

[DJ Envy]

I'm a machine. That's how I stay active.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, all right.

[DJ Envy]

They didn't around and taught me Instagram. See, that's why what happened? A lot of those platforms, I don't really know how to work them, but Instagram, when they told me that in my mind, I said, I don't have a network. I don't have a TV show. This is gonna be my whole network. In my TV show, I'm gonna give you every piece of me that you wouldn't imagine. I'm gonna make you laugh, cry, put music on there. Just. If I was a TV network, what the my TV network look like? It will look like my Instagram channel. Unexpected, but it's some entertaining.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Yo, when you posted me with that little ass ponytail even on your page, I ain't forget that.

[DJ Envy]

Come on, J. I didn't feel you that ponytail.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Yeah, me up there, Damn. I'm just like. I grew my head and everything. By then my hair had grown and all that.

[DJ Envy]

I have bad hair days, too. It's okay. It's okay. Don't worry about it. Look, long as you real enough to deal with it. That's what it is, period.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

I'm the one that posted it first. But you waited till my hair grew a little bit and then reminded me what I had. That was crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, let's get into it. Joining off the album.

[Jess Hilarious]

Album?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to hear. Is it a crime Charlemagne wants to hear?

[DJ Envy]

You want my all you Know what? I love that. Everybody want to hear something different. I got a hit.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's get into it now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. His album's out tomorrow. Salute to Snoop for joining us. Is it a crime?

[Jess Hilarious]

Always a pleasure talking to Snoop Dogg, man. Snoop Dogg is an icon living okay. He's like a walking memorial as far.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

As hip hop is to going concerned. Is he the biggest hip hop artist ever? Most recognizable?

[Jess Hilarious]

Most famous.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your most famous, I should say.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

People argue when you say welcome memorial. Like I remember Charlamagne. You can't say that because you said about Usher and he was like, that's kind of like saying, I'm dead. You cannot say that. A walking memorial.

[Jess Hilarious]

I just think we gotta, you know, recognize, you know, our, our legends while they're here. Because you know, in 20 years, 50 years, these people are gonna be like mythical figures. That's how I be feeling like when I. When I hear stories about like Biggie and Pac and you hear about like Angie, Martinez and Suede having these conversations about Biggie and Pac. You're like, dang, you met Biggie and like that's them now.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

So say legend, don't say memorial until they pay.

[Jess Hilarious]

Legend ain't strong enough for some of.

[Morgan]

These guys cuz they throwing it. People throw it around too loosely.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, like I like, like Snoop is an icon living to me, he's definitely an icon walking. Memorial might be a bit much.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Yeah, it's like a zombie. What are you talking about?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, I mean, yeah, famous. Yeah. I don't. Yeah, Snoop got to be the most famous. I think he is mascot of the Olympics.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Everybody knows.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I think so. Anyway, let's get to the latest alarm.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Lauren becoming a street f. She gets.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Jess Hilarious]

Somebody details.

[Morgan]

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

[Jess Hilarious]

She be having the latest on the.

[DJ Envy]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Jess Hilarious]

Sometimes she has facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Morgan]

So there's an update in the Tory Lanez stabbing situation. So I, I don't have an update on his health, but I do have an update on the attacker, the alleged attacker. So the person that is alleged to have stabbed Tory Lanez is a man who was serving a life sentence for a murder charge. And according to reports, this was not his first violent incident behind bars. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation center told TMZ that Tory Lanez was allegedly attacked by fellow injury Inmate named Santino Casillo. This happened at 7:20am Monday morning in a housing unit at California Correctional Institution cci, which is where Tori is being housed. And from all reports, they said that prison staff responded immediately. I told you guys that I found out that after they responded and they were trying to help him, he was in. Airlifted to the hospital where they found out that he was saved 14 times.

[Jess Hilarious]

What's his name again?

[Morgan]

His name is. Is Santino Casio.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Race today.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

What I tell y' all?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You Mexican?

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

What I tell y' all? I told y' all when there is a stabbing multiple times, and you have been stabbed over five times. It's a Mexican. In prison. It is a Mexican.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, let's tell the whole story. Tory Lanez, dm. Just hilarious singing. Just told Chris, and Chris called one of his cousins.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You stop that.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

You might ever try to put that on my husband. Oh, and no, he is not for Mexican. So this is not cousin.

[Morgan]

Oh, he's black.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

He's.

[Morgan]

Why would he throw that away?

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

Well, I told y' all, Casillo no relation to your Chris.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

No, no, no.

[Morgan]

Has been placed in a restrictive housing pin pending investigation, because police are looking into this. And he was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole for second degree murder, first degree attempted murder, personal use of a dangerous or deadly weapon, and inflicting great bodily injury. So he ain't going nowhere.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

And didn't he do this before he.

[Morgan]

Yeah, he.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Well, yes, he. He did a couple things.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's why they shouldn't have a general population, because if I'm doing. How many. How much time Tory got? 19 years? Something like that.

[Morgan]

Yeah, like 19 years.

[Jess Hilarious]

You can't have me around these people that's doing life and don't got nothing else to live for. They just could be jealous, envious, hateful, like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I'm sure he had the option to stay in. In protective custody PC, and he didn't.

[Jess Hilarious]

Want to put me in PC.

[Morgan]

The fact that the thing that Jess is talking about is there was a point in prison where Casillo was sentenced to an additional six years for assault in a prisoner with. With a deadly weapon. Yeah. So, yeah, crazy.

[Jess Hilarious]

Sound like he should have been deported a long time ago.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Exactly.

[Jess Hilarious]

But we don't know El Salvador. Well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Yeah, well, even if his ass is here legally, like.

[DJ Envy]

Like, he might be legal here.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

That's stand. Stand people up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, that might be legal, but if he's legal, we gonna send him.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know what, though? Long before the Deportation. I used to always say there should be a World Star island for certain people. Like certain people. You can't. You just got to take them. Them off. Yes, man. And I was saying this for y kids, Tory. It ain't got nothing to do with race or ethnicity. This is about behavior.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Tory Lades, his. His legal team, after following this happening, they're now holding a press conference. A press conference will take place today, the 14th at 10am for all press. And they said that they have some new exculpatory evidence that will talk about how his justice was violated in the case that he's currently backed up for, the Magna Sign case.

[Jess Hilarious]

And right now, what that means. What's that word you just said?

[Morgan]

Except the hell is that?

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't know what that means.

[Morgan]

It's. It's evidence that it's new findings that they found that, that, that show light. That bring light on something. Like you're like uncovering something. They basically are saying that they have new. You know, they've been fighting for his.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, it says show or declare that someone is not guilty of wrongdoing.

[Morgan]

They have. They're bringing light to the fact that they're saying that he is innocent, which they've been saying. But they said that they have new evidence now or new things now that they want to support reveal. And right now more than ever because of what just happened to him, it's important that they reveal it because they need to. To get him home.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Morgan]

So that's, you know, update. And I did ask for update on his health, so hopefully we'll have that. You know, just checking in on him, seeing how he's doing.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You ain't gonna give us. Did he.

[Morgan]

And for the first time, I think we had a bit more context from her point of view anyway of. Of what went down.

[DJ Envy]

[Jess Hilarious]

Day is something to behold.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

He gave me donkey of the Day and I deserve the people need to know.

[Morgan]

Well, you need to tell them. You have the voice. Tell them. Tell them.

[Jess Hilarious]

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's a read. But you're so good at it.

[DJ Envy]

You trying to be a fake ass?

[Jess Hilarious]

Charlamagne.

[DJ Envy]

The only one Charlemagne involved.

[Morgan]

Damn Charlemagne.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Who you give a dusty of the day to, man?

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, sexy Red Donkey of the day for Wednesday, May 14 goes to a 34 year old woman from Mississippi named Jesse. Let me see. Justinia Jacinia Faye Ezel. Let me tell you something, man. I don't know what world we live in anymore, okay? Stop thinking you know people because you think you know, but you have no idea. I was born in 1978. Personally, I believe after 1990, God. God stopped making humans. Okay? He stopped making humans. He sold the patent. It's his product, but not his recipe. Because these people out here look like us, but they not like us. Okay? See, Jinia went into a Dollar General with a gun. Very low hanging fruit. Okay? If you're gonna take a penitentiary chance, don't do it at Dollar General, okay? I would rather you not do it at all. I would rather you not walk into any store with a gun, but definitely, definitely not Dollar General. In fact, if your brain says, I should go rob this Dollar General, you should immediately change your thoughts to, I should go in this Dollar General and fill out a job application. Okay? One of the reasons it's stupid to rob a Dollar General is because you never know how much cash a Dollar General has on hand at any given time. So you might fool around and get 20 years for $20, okay? The money in Dollar General fluctuates constantly based on sales, expenses, deposits, withdrawals. It's just not smart to do. Not smart to rob any place, but definitely not a Dollar General. Okay? Now, Jenia entered the store with a firearm and demanded money. Then she got into an altercation with an employee before leaving the scene with an undisclosed amount of money. Dear Dollar General employee, Dollar General not dying for you, okay? The only way you should end up in a fight with someone who walks in any store with a gun to rob it is if your life is being threatened. If you fighting for your life, I completely understand. Other than that, get the hell out the hide behind the Doritos. Now. I'm not giving you donkey because you robbed the Dollar General. Jinia. I could, okay? But there is more to this story. See, officers came to the store to investigate. And after they came to investigate, Jinia did something no criminal should ever do. And that's return to the scene of the crime. What did she return to the scene of the crime for? Would you like to know? What do you think she returned to the scene of the crime for? Huh? What you think? Like, I have no idea. Because she dropped her cell phone. I repeat, officers said they were at the store investigating when Jesenia Ezell returned to the scene and asked about a cell phone she dropped during the robbery. Is it crack? It's got to be crack. Okay, Ezel, you got the right last name because you must be a crackhead. Ice cube. If you look in the cast, a new crackhead name. Ezekiel. And last Friday, we have found your person, RIP A.J. johnson. Okay? You just robbed the Dollar General at gunpoint Yesenia. And you came back to the store while police was investigating to ask about a cell phone you dropped during a robbery. Let me tell you something, man. Even if you're not smoking the fried cocaine that's normal from our era, you are absolutely addicted to this new drug. The biggest drug on the market, by the way. And that's your smartphone. Okay, Once again, smartphones making dumb people. We love these devices. So much. We treat them like they 79th organ in our body. We treat them like they are our hearts, our lungs, our livers, our kidneys. We are addicted to these devices. No doctor has universally diagnosed us with phone addiction, but it's obvious, okay? All of us exhibit behaviors and symptoms that suggest a strong dependency on these smartphones. And this right here is just the latest example. Some donkey todays just sell themselves. Please give Jinia Ezel the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You are the doggy of the day.

[Jess Hilarious]

You want to play a game or. We think we got to figure it out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We can play a game.

[Jess Hilarious]

We got to figure it out. You don't think so. You think we got to figure it out.

[DJ Envy]

Play a game.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Excellent. First.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, well, let's play a game of Guess what race it is. Yes. Jinia Eazell from Mississippi. Mississippi went to rob a Dollar General.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Got into a fight with an employee, but then left with an undisclosed amount of money. But came back to the scene of the crime while police were investigating because she dropped her cell phone. DJ Envy, Guess what race she is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Black.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't like how you said that so quickly. Why? Why you think that got to be one of us?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just a hunch.

[Jess Hilarious]

Just a hunch. Okay. Hunch. Okay. Jess. Hilarious. Jacinta Ezel from Mississippi walked into a Dollar General to Robin. Got into a fight with one of the employees, but were left with an undisclosed amount of money, but came back to the scene of the crime while police were investigating because she dropped her cell phone. Jess. Hilarious. Guess what race she is.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

I'm gonna say Black sue, for one. Why? Ezell is her last name.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. Okay.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

2. I robbed many Dollar Generals.

[Jess Hilarious]

Not at gunpoint.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

No, not at gunpoint.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't judge it. We don't know.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

But I've definitely robbed many of them. And I've gotten into altercations with cashiers as well.

[Jess Hilarious]

Because you were stealing something and they.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Trying to stop you like it's theirs and it's not. Since I can steal some stuff for you, too. Chill. But.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But why Dollar General? Why not?

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Because it's easy. Everything that's only a dollar. I told you. Me. And I was broke.

[Morgan]

Envy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sorry I wasn't out here.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

It was like you. Since I was 10, I was. I had to fend for myself a lot. So men asked you to steal?

[Jess Hilarious]

I want Jesse Laris and DJ Envy to know that they are both absolutely, positively wrong. Okay, I was.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

I'm going off experience. He just judging Black people. Because he not black.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right. Dominican Jinia is not. Not black.

[DJ Envy]

What is she?

[Jess Hilarious]

She's. It's a difference. It's a difference. And until y' all learn the difference, y' all will continue to make that mistake. Okay? Okay, okay.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, but why she went back in for the phone when she seen the police there.

[Jess Hilarious]

I just skated. You got to catch. Why do we keep having to tell y' all this all the time?

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Well, she probably thought that they was there for something else.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, shut up.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Yeah, honestly, she probably thought the cops was there for some notes and camera back and just. Yeah, she wasn't thinking. How old was she?

[Jess Hilarious]

34. Damn.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Damn. Yeah, she's stupid as hell.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, indeed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, when we come back, Dr. Judith Joseph will be joining us.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What kind of ad lib was that?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, I love Dr. Judith Joseph. It is mental health awareness month. Dr. Joseph has a new book out called High Functioning. Overcoming your hidden depression and reclaiming your. Your joy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, we'll talk to her next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, indeed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We have to. We have Dr. Judith Joseph. Welcome.

[G]

Thank you. So great to be here. Yes. Happy Mental Health Awareness Month.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you have a new book out now called High Functioning. Overcome your hidden depression and reclaim your joy.

[Jess Hilarious]

What does hidden depression look like?

[G]

Oh, so hidden depression is not like the typical depression. When people think of depression, they think of someone crying, not getting out of bed. But hidden depression hides behind a mask of being pathologically productive. So imagine, you know, a single mom working to take care of her kids, working at her job, and she cannot slow down. People depend on her. So what does she do? She shows up to work with a smile on her face. She's showing up for others, but she feels no joy. And it's something called anhedonia. It's a scientific term that I study in my lab. People don't even know it exists. So hidden depression doesn't necessarily look sad, but it doesn't feel joy. It feels empty.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Actually, I have a friend who just experienced that, right? And he called me with, like. He had just hit the lottery, though. It was so. It was. It was unusual. I don't like to say weird. It's so unusual. He called me, say, yo, I just figured something out. I'm like, what? He was like, I've Been depressed all this time. I'm depressed and I'm like, why you?

[Jess Hilarious]

Why.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Why you?

[Jess Hilarious]

We.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

You want a steak or a cookie? Like, why are you so excited about it? Like, this is not good news. He was like, no, no. Like, I'm not suicidal or anything. I just been burying myself in my work, and I am the most productive, but I'm not happy. My wife, she gets no attention from me. I'm not, like, mentally there for my kids. And I just found out. I was talking to my kids therapist and we, you know, and he got. He was diagnosed and he has. He's depressed. And it was so crazy because I. When. When you think of depression, you know, you think of, you know, the suicidal thoughts and sad, damn, you can't get out of bed. He was the opposite, but he was still depressed. So I just. I just found that out.

[DJ Envy]

Wow. Yeah.

[G]

You know why he was happy is because there's a term in psychology called affect labeling. When you know what you're dealing with, with the uncertainty of not knowing how you feel just makes you feel so stressed. You feel like, okay, maybe there's something wrong with me, what I have to complain about, maybe it's my fault. But when someone tells you, no, what you're experiencing is anhedonia. It's actually a scientific symptom. Many people struggle with it. Then you feel as if, okay, it's not my fault. There's a term for this. I know what I'm working with here so I can do something about it. And as human beings, our birthright is joy. Like, joy is literally built into our DNA. And if we can't access that joy, that's a problem. So just because someone's not getting out, not, you know, in bed and crying all day, doesn't mean that it's not a problem. We have to address this lack of joy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do you get out of it?

[DJ Envy]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So let's say you work with somebody who bullies you all the time, says you're Spanish when you're black. You.

[DJ Envy]

You.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, somebody who has a bad wig and you have to see it all the time. How do you get out of that place of working with them? Because you got to go to work. Why you looking at me like that? You got to make money. So how do you get out of that? I am being serious, because there's people that don't want to work with people. How do you get out of that?

[G]

But you know what he's doing right now? He's accessing joy. Being playful, being comical. He is finding a way through a difficult situation by accessing joy. Right, but many of us just go to work and we do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I'm being serious. But how do you. If you work with somebody that you don't like, but you still need to get money. I'm not talking about your. I mean, or just Lauren, but when people that you know don't like their job. Yeah, but how do you continue to go through that? Because you still need money. You still got to pay for the food on the table, you still got to pay for rent. You still got to pay for your car. You still got to pay for your kids. How do you get through that? What do you tell people to do?

[G]

There's actually a term in my book called the biopsychosocial model. Right? So what you're talking about and what you so eloquently said is actually a model used by every single medical student in the world. Right? The biopsychosocial is like a fingerprint. We all have our fingerprint, but it's all unique. So we each have a biopsychosocial. So, for example, the person you're talking about, the biopsychosocial for that person, socially, what's happening is that they're in this stressful situation. They're not supported. They're actually being. You know, there's microaggressions, maybe macroaggressions at work, but that's just one part of why they're no longer happy. It's one of the things that's draining their. The science of their happiness. Right. The other parts of that model are the biological. So maybe this person also has a medical condition like, I don't know, diabetes, diabetes, or psychologically, they have past trauma. So all of those things play into what's taking away from their points of joy. So understanding where the stressors are and what's causing you to be unhappy is important. But even within stressful situations, because I've traveled the world over 30 countries looking at joy. Even when people don't have running water, even when they're in war zones, they can still access joy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So find something that makes you happy regardless. Regardless of the situation.

[G]

Because joy is a survival technique. We have to access joy in order to survive. Not just to thrive, but to survive. So you can find ways at work to connect with someone else. Maybe someone else is going through it with you. So you're sharing, you're venting. You know, maybe you can use a candle at work or something fragment to stimulate the senses or make sure that you're leaving work and having lunch like a human being instead of being in front of a screen, right? There are things, ways that you can access joy because it's a survival technique.

[Jess Hilarious]

I believe that. I believe joy is a survival technique. We actually had Lizzo on, we were talking about that. But I also feel, I feel like some people fake happy and they fake joy. So what does the real joy look like?

[G]

That's why I say, understand the science of your happiness. There's only one Leonard. There's only one Judith, you know, ever in the history of the universe in the future. So what is it about you that makes you joyful? And in my research lab, when we're studying joy, we're actually adding up points. For example, example, if you took a rest and you woke up, did you feel refreshed? That's a point. If you were hungry and you savored your meal, That's a point. If you were lonely, you connected with someone, that's a point. But the rest of the world is so busy chasing this idea of happy, right? I will be happy when I get the perfect partner. I'll be happy when I pay off my debt. I'll be happy when I have a house. The science shows us that even when those things happen, we're still not happy. So we have to access the points of joy that really feed into our unique, unique sense of happiness. For me, it's connection. If I'm busy, if I'm speaking at places, if I'm on TV all the time and I'm not connecting with my family, I'm going to be unhappy. But for you, it could be something else.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're still kicking it with Dr. Judith Joseph. Her new book, High Functioning, is out right now.

[Jess Hilarious]

Charlamagne what are the signs of hidden depression and high functioning depression?

[G]

Many people confuse high functioning depression with burnout. The difference is that for burnout, let's say you go to a party and you say, I'm burnt out. People are like, oh, me too, me three. Right? But if you walk into a party, you say, I'm depressed. People like, oh, you should do something about that, right? Like, like your friend right here.

[Jess Hilarious]

All we got to do is sniff it.

[G]

So, so when you think about burnout, right? Burnout by definition is an occupational hazard. When the who, the World Health Organization, classified it, it's the workplace causing the symptoms. So technically, you take the person out of the workplace, they should get back better. With high functioning folks, even when you take them out of the workplace, they're not better. What are they doing? They're busying themselves on a side hustle or two. They're taking on somebody's problems. They, they can't sit still. They're cleaning out their house or the garage, right? Because it's not the workplace. It's not something on the outside, it's something inside that's unresolved. So this hidden trauma, this unresolved pain. So they're trying to outrun it by busying themselves. So when they sit still, they, they feel empty. When they're not working, they feel restless.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me ask you a question. I feel like, and this is a good thing, but I also feel like it's a bad thing. I feel like in the last 10 years so many people have been talking about all these mental health issues and terms does it sometimes I feel like it's an overload because it's like, you know, you get a pain, right? You Google it And then there's 30 things that's wrong with you. Now you hey, what up y' all? It's DJ Envy. The first few months of 2025 have been quite a year.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're even more confused, right? Is that the same thing with a lot of. Sometimes with a lot of these terms, like when you hear certain things is, now I'm depressed. Now I'm a high functioning depressed. Now I have anxiety, now I have this. Is it like, do you feel like it's too much for people. And how can people really break that all down to realize what they really have and what's really bother them? Because everything sounds the same at some time.

[G]

I mean, it's a great question, but the, the term affect labeling in psychology shows us that when you can name it appropriately, right. It decreases the anxiety. Think about if you were in a room and it was pitch black and you heard a loud crash. Some of us would start swinging, someone start screaming, someone start running. But if you turn that light on and you saw what it was, a vas fell or some inanimate object, you feel relaxed. Why? Because you know what you're dealing with.

[DJ Envy]

You know what it is, right?

[G]

It's the not knowing and not naming appropriately that creates a lot of anxiety. So people end up just drinking a lot, right, to soothe that thing, because they don't know what it is. Or they end up gambling or spending a lot of money or doing things, busying themselves to outrun this pain they don't understand.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Jess Hilarious]

And it's interesting too, because, you know, I think whatever you're speaking to, to me anyway, is the fact that there was a time when nobody used to talk about their mental health issues. So we went from saying we don't, we don't speak about this at all to in order to eradicate the stigma, we got to tell our story. So now people are not just going out there to get help and understanding what they're dealing with. They're telling their story. Stories.

[G]

They're telling their story. But still the older generations are not as open, right? The younger ones, they want to talk about it, they want to feel seen, they want to feel connected. And many of them do sometimes inappropriately use a label to connect. Right? But there is still a lot of stigma. You know, the places I go, the corporations I go to, it's still more accepted to say burnt out than depressed. But we have to name what it is because the support are going to look very different, the resources look very different.

[Jess Hilarious]

Now, how do you know the difference between somebody who's staying busy as a response to trauma to somebody who's actually really busy?

[G]

Yes, great question. It's the anhedonia. You know, when you ask someone who's busy if they're actually pathologically productive, they're not getting joy. You know, they end up at my office in Manhattan and they're like, I don't know what's wrong. Everything looks good on the outside, but I just don't feel joyful. Whereas someone who's actually Engaged in what they're doing there. They got the pep in their step. They're engaged and they're connected. And they're feeling as if they're getting a sense of purpose versus when you keep doing over time without actually tapping into purpose. You do feel numb. You're like, why am I doing this? But you cannot stop because you're trying to outrun something that you don't even know is there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, you talked about, you know, working and being at rest. So how do you know when you're at rest and being okay with being at rest?

[G]

One of the points of joy that we measure in my research lab is actually that it's called psycho mode or agitation. It's a terrible scientific term, but what it means is that you can't sit still. You're just on edge. And when you add up points of joy, being able to be calm and not stress is actually a point that many of us leave on the table. We often think, oh, that's anxiety, not depression. But no, it's almost like a different side of the same coin. Right? You can't be joyful if you're stressed. Do you know anyone who's been really stressed out, who was, like, also joyful? No. And then. And look at the monks in other countries and the gurus. They may have just a mat to sleep on and bread and water, but they are joyful because they are at peace. So if you're not feeling that sense of peace and you have that inner restlessness, it's really difficult to be joyful.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But is everybody's piece the same piece, though?

[G]

It's not. And that's why I said, understand the science of your happiness. In my book, I actually have that model so that I democratize this information. Why are just the doctors and medical students holding onto this? Every patient that comes to my lab draws their own biopsychosocial.

[Morgan]

Right.

[G]

So you want to figure out what are the things that are taking away from my happiness. Right. If you don't understand what's taking away their points of joy, how can you understand the science of your happiness? So in some cases, you're going to look at the social factors. Right. Someone who is partnered with somebody who's toxic, I mean, they can eat all the kale they want. They're still going to be unhappy. Right. Versus somebody who, let's say, psychologically, they dealt with a lot of trauma in their childhood. Neglected abuse. We need to address that first because it's really hard to access joy when you're in fight or Flight and then biologically, let's say someone who has an autoimmune condition. Right. If you're constantly in a state of high inflammation, your brain's not going to be happy. So everyone's so unique, but we're chasing things that work for other people without understanding our own science.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm hung up on this one question you asked earlier. Can you feel joy when you're stressed?

[G]

It's very, very difficult. It's super difficult. You know, know like imagine when you're stressed and you're sitting eating your food. Many times we'll like finish the bowl and we don't even know we finished our plate. Right. Because our brain was somewhere else. So we missed out on a point of joy.

[Morgan]

Right.

[G]

We weren't tasting the crunchy salad or the dressings.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

That's crazy. Yeah, like mostly not even everything because I ain't trying to sound like a client here or anything like that, but a lot of things that you're saying like I, I like live this every day. Like, like I'll heat something up and then do something else and then forget that I'm even and forget that I'm hungry and then do it because I'm trying to keep myself busy. Like I wake up every morning at 4, being here at 6, we get done at a certain time, I go home, then I work on other businesses and then I do have. And then I have an 8 month old baby and I have a 13 year old son and I'm married and it's so many different things, right?

[Jess Hilarious]

And the drugs.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

And the drugs. So yeah, he does not have to put it out. But yes. What I find for me, speaking of drugs, at the end of the night, a good like pre roll, like I, for me, weed that calms me down, I'm able to relax and just like take a breath. But by the time that is, that's like 12, one o' clock in the morning. I got to be back up at 4.

[G]

Yeah.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

It's like. But I don't think I'm stressed or depressed. It's like what the hell is going on then?

[G]

Maybe I'm not your doctor, but a lot of people like you who have busy careers, families, a lot of responsibilities, they're caretakers, right. In my study, the first ever published in the world on high function depression, a lot of caretakers, a lot of caregivers, they experience that lack of joy. Why? Because they're so busy in their mind, they're so restless that they're missing out the precious baby's Face in front of them. Who wants to snuggle with you, right? You lost a point right there. Because when you snuggle, you're getting oxytocin, right? You're getting that attachment hold hormone. And you know, many times I hear a lot of people saying they're intimate with their partners and they just can't wait to get over with because they just want to, you know, they're not. They're missing out. That's a point of joy for human beings, right? Sleep is a point of joy. But many of us are spending our times on our phones before we go to bed, so that's disrupting our sleep. So we are losing so many points because we cannot sit still.

[Jess Hilarious]

What do you hope people walk away with after reading High Functioning?

[G]

I really hope that they understand that joy is a paradise priority. It is a necessity. It is part of our survival, especially in, in our community. Without joy, what would have happened to us? You know, so prioritize joy and understand the science of your happiness. You know, there is only one you and there will only ever be one you. So take the time to know yourself, understand what's taking away from your joy so you know where to add back to it. And joy has the power to change people and their communities. So, you know, we all probably have interacted with people who are not joyful. They can change the tone of a room, right? So if we take the time to invest in joy, we can literally change not just ourselves, but our families, our communities, and I think, the world.

[Jess Hilarious]

How do they find you, Dr. Judith?

[G]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you so much. Dr. Judith Joseph, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you.

[G]

Thank you. It's such a pleasure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Lauren becoming a straight face.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Jess Hilarious]

She gets the details.

[Morgan]

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

[Jess Hilarious]

She'll be having the latest on the.

[DJ Envy]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Jess Hilarious]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Morgan]

I did want to talk about yesterday, Cassie in court running us through that Diddy. Yeah, back to Diddy running us through the video of her being dragged in that hotel room back in 2016. So people have been trying to figure out kind of like what the narrative is. Was she Trying to get away from a freak off. Or was this two people so jealous, so upset. Cassie says that that was her trying to leave a freak off 100%. She says that she had shot Diddy. A text message, which they brought up in court.

[DJ Envy]

Court.

[Morgan]

In that text, she's texting him and saying, I want to fo so bad. That's how they talked about freak offs. The text is to Pop up. She calls him Pop up because she. She alleges that he wanted her to call him what she used to call her grandfather.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's what I say. Pop Pop is for granddad.

[Morgan]

Yes. I call. I used to call my Pop Pop, my grandfather Pop Pop. Now they.

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, that's when you know the girl. Way too young for you. Yeah, it's one thing when the girl say Daddy Pop.

[Morgan]

She said on the stand, too. She was like, yeah, weird. I know, but whatever. But anyway, so there's text between Baby Girl and Pop up.

[G]

Her and.

[Morgan]

And Puff. And she's talking.

[Jess Hilarious]

Come on, man.

[Morgan]

He called her Baby Girl. He called her Cece Cassie Combs. Those were the nicknames that he.

[Jess Hilarious]

Think about. The contrast, Granddaddy and Baby Girl.

[Morgan]

BBG and Pop.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

It's Pop Pop.

[Jess Hilarious]

Come on. Come on, y' all. Come on, guys.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Well, so in the text messages, she's saying that she wants to freak off. And people. And I think the prosecutors brought this up early because they want to get ahead of it. Because. Because she's saying she's. She's initiating it. Right. But she's also alleging at the same time she was trying to get away from it and couldn't. So she said that the reason why she shot this text and the reason why they were even in that hotel in LA the day that she got dragged back in 2016 was because she had this major movie premiere coming up on Monday. That video that we saw she alleges happened over the weekend. She believes it was Friday. She said she initiated that freak off because she wanted to make him happy. When he was pleased, when his moods were great. She. She would. She would be okay. She didn't want anything to ruin a premiere. She didn't want to be told that she couldn't go or that, you know, to have bruises or anything, allegedly. So she said she did the freak off. They got there, they were drinking, they were partying with one of the escorts, a male escort, and somehow she ends up getting hit in her face by him. He allegedly punches her in her face. She's bruised in the face now, and she Said at that point she's like, I gotta get out of here. Because if it gets worse, she has this. She's thinking about the premiere and she's scared. So we see her in the video trying to get away and that's when she says that, you know, she allegedly just. He dragged her back into the room, took herself back into the room. But she was trying to explain why she was even there in the first place. And again, just, you know, quickly put in context to that video. She said, this is her trying to get away. Can't get away, but doing this because if it makes him happy, she can be in some bit of peace.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What was the reaction in the courtroom when all this was happening? Even the. The semen on the nipples? Like, what was the reaction with Puff, the family, even Cassie's husband who was.

[Morgan]

There, you know, I think so. I was. I was sitting behind Cassie's brother and Cassie's husband. Her brother was a bit uneasy when they were playing the video. They didn' really react too much to the whole semen on nipple and a lot of stuff with the men. And I don't know if it's because everybody knows that we're all watching them. Neither did Puff's family. But there was one point where they talked about all the drugs that they would be on during these freak offs because she said she wouldn't remember a lot of them because of them. And they asked her, well, how were you reading up on drugs? How did you know who to call? And she said it was because of Diddy. And then they asked her, well, who. Whose drug contact was it? Like whose drug dealer was it? And she said, she alleges it was Puffs. And I watched him and Puff was looking at her. He was like. He made his face like, come on in. And I was like, oh, wow. And that was the first time that I saw him visibly like, cuz other than that, it was blank. Stare at her the whole time.

[Jess Hilarious]

I wanted. Didn't they arrest one of Diddy's drug mules? Remember that little. He's not. He's not on trial.

[Morgan]

I don't know if he's going to be included in the trial or not. So far, the witness list, all we have had, all we've heard from was one male escort, Cassie, the. The LAPD security guy that was like, security at the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cuz she's pregnant. So how is she doing? Does she need multiple breaks? Is she.

[Morgan]

Yes, she took two breaks. She took two. Two breaks. She asked for one of the breaks while she's on the stand, she's doing a lot of, like, this, like, holding her stuff. Yeah, she cried a little bit.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Contracting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

That would be crazy.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Eight months.

[Morgan]

Yeah, she cried a little bit in the beginning, like the opening of her testimony. But she helped. She held it together very, very well.

[Jess Hilarious]

Listen, I told y' all yesterday that video is going to be the most damning piece of evidence in this case because it's almost impossible to see that video and give Diddy the benefit of the doubt for anything. And I know folks, you know, say, oh, he's. He's not on trial for domestic violence, but the beating part is part of the coercion and manipulation that defines trafficking in a court of law. When you get people to engage in sexual acts through violence or drugs or emotional manipulation, that all constitutes trafficking in a court of law. I guarantee you what you're going to see over the next few days is them defining.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

What. What sexual trafficking is. They're going to be talking about the man act. They're going to be talking about the coercion and the manipulation, the combo of drugs and violence and emotional. And the emotional manipulation that he allegedly used to get people to do sexual things. I guarantee they're gonna start talking about the transportation of prostitutes. That's all.

[Morgan]

I agree with what you're saying because they set it up real good just to bring that land.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the difference between the prostitute and the escort?

[Morgan]

So the way that they were. The way that they were having a conversation yesterday was like, escorts are people that, like, not even escort, but the. They were calling them escorts. But a lot of the men that they were enlisting from, like, Backpage, Craigslist, and these like, male serv. Male service escort services. Back page is old, right. Where people that were supposed to be there, you just. They come and you, like, enjoy their time. So, like, Y off Craigslist, and she was having to use her real phone number to respond to the ads. She didn't have to post. She, like, she didn't have to post them, but she had to use her real phone number to respond to the. As she said. But to answer your question, they're still really defining it, but from what I'm getting from it, it seems like a escort isn't supposed to be having sex with you. They're supposed to just be there and, like, you enjoy their time. You might date with them. They might come and do, like, you know, bring a strip, and then you.

[Jess Hilarious]

Take that and rub it on your nipples.

[Morgan]

Don't. Don't give me the Line right now.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

Yeah, Same jokes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And. And when they do these, nobody laughs in the courtroom, right? Nobody, huh? Nobody laughs in the courtroom. When I say like you put the, the semen on the nipples. Like there's no outburst or anything like that. And the only reason I'm asking because if you don't know, Lauren is at the court every day.

[Morgan]

She's at the court. The reason why I think yesterday people didn't catch a lot of stuff is because people were bored. It took the prosecution a long time to get to this. I was duly intrigued and my notes were noting.

[Jess Hilarious]

This is years and years of comedy material.

[Morgan]

Yeah, well, I'm.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm a stiff nipple with a topper. You ever been on?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why people can't take a.

[Jess Hilarious]

On the nipple.

[Morgan]

I could never take y' all to court. Y' all would embarrass me, get kicked out. It's pews in the court. I have to sit y' all in the back like back at church.

[Jess Hilarious]

That should be a drink. That should be a drink at the bar. Not on the nipple.

[Dr. Judith Joseph]

They already got a slippery nipple. The slippery nipple.

[Jess Hilarious]
