You already know and Charlemagne. Did you call Wendy this morning?
Jess Hilarious
How the hell am I call Wendy? Wendy's still in the same place you've been for the last few years. You can't call Wendy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, well, today is Wendy Williams birthday, so I was wondering if you called and wished a happy birthday.
Jess Hilarious
If I could, I would. She called me on my birthday and told me happy birthday and when I was out the country. So if I could, I would. But you can't just pick up the phone and call her.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, damn. Well, drop a bomb for Wendy Williams. Happy birthday.
Jess Hilarious
It's Nelson Mandela born day to day, too.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, it is.
Jess Hilarious
Wendy Williams and Nelson Mandela. Two cancers. Damn it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes. It's Vin Diesel's birthday too. If you care about Vin Diesel, it's his birthday as well.
Jess Hilarious
I mean, mad people care about the Fast and the Furious. I don't know why we just all of a sudden started doing random birthday shout outs. But happy born day to all of those individuals.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, all right, well, let's get the show cracking. Now, you was in South Carolina yesterday. I seen you opened up another Christmas. How was that?
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, I was home. I was home in South Carolina. I Mean, it's a beautiful thing, simply because we bought 40 more jobs to the city of Walter. I love it, like, when. Whenever I talk about opening up, you know, these franchises, we opened up one in Orangeburg, we opened up one in Walterboro. We had the ribbon cutting yesterday, my wife and I. It's literally about, you know, the jobs that are created because of this situation. Man, I. I met this guy yesterday. His name was Jameson. He works at the the Crystal and Walter, bro. He's 25 years old. And when I tell you he was so happy and, you know, so appreciative that he has the opportunity to work at, you know, that establishment, it just made me realize, like, this is. This is what it's all about. I knew that already. It just reinforced what I already knew.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, that's dope. Cause, you know, people always talking about what they're gonna do or what they wanna do, but when you see people doing the work and you see it change their lives, you see it affects their lives. It sees you. Like you said, you're giving people jobs. You're giving people opportunities. Even with the car show, it's like so many people get to work this weekend. You know, whether it's security, it's laborers, it's people putting things down, you're putting money in people's pockets, and hopefully it can continue on in the community. So salute to Charlamagne. Drop a bomb. For sure.
Jess Hilarious
Jobs, enjoy. That's what I. That's what I want to create. There you go. Jobs, joy, and opportunity. I guess opportunity falls under a job falls into opportunity. But yes, jobs and joy. That's what you should strive to create in your life.
Charlamagne Tha God
Absolutely. Well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news. Morgan will be joining us, so don't go anywhere. A lot to discuss on this Friday. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Jess. Hilarious.
Nyla Simone
Good morning. How are you?
Jess Hilarious
Okay. Protective hairstyle.
Nyla Simone
What's up?
Jess Hilarious
Okay. That looks amazing, period.
Nyla Simone
I went from Pam and Total to, I guess, Keisha.
Jess Hilarious
No justice and poetic justice.
Nyla Simone
Okay. Okay.
Jess Hilarious
Yes. I like that. No, no, no, no, no. They not that thick. Yeah, but they look good, though.
Nyla Simone
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Jess Hilarious
You know, it's so funny, when Jess posted that she was trying to get her hair done, so many people started hitting me up, asking me to send, connect them. I'm like, what are you even talking about? Then I had to go look and see that you had said that on social.
Nyla Simone
Yeah, because, yo, the short. The thing about the short haircut, listen, it's cute and everything, but it's hot and it's way too much maintenance. It's. I'm in a hair salon every week, two hours. It's just like. All right, come on now. So braids. Braids.
Jess Hilarious
So you got a protective hairstyle to protect you from the heat? Yes, basically, yes. Damn. Climate change is real.
Nyla Simone
And it's going to help my hair grow anyway because now I'm growing it back from the shortcut.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, well, let's get in some front page news. What's up, Morgan?
Morgan
All right, let's do it. How we feeling on a Friday?
Jess Hilarious
Good. Sound less black and Holly?
Morgan
Yes, Love to hear it. All right, so President Trump is doing okay after undergoing vascular testing after experiencing swelling in his legs. That's what White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said, who claims that all of his tests came back clean. Now he. Despite that, there are reports that the President was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficient insurance insufficiency, cvi, which is a condition where veins in your legs have trouble sending blood back to your heart because it's pooling in the legs. Now let's take a listen to White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt and her comments.
DJ Envy
In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild.
Jess Hilarious
Swelling in his lower legs. In keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House Medical Unit.
DJ Envy
There was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or.
Jess Hilarious
Or arterial disease. Hey, man, if your legs swell and everything is not okay, okay. There is some underlying medical condition, all right? It could be fluid retention, it could be inflammation. But if you 79 years old and your legs are just swelling up and you in the type of shape he look like he in, that is not a good thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
Not at all.
Morgan
This came. Yeah. This came after a photographer reporter showed pictures of bruising on Trump's hands while he was speaking to reporters. And of course, the White House says that's the bruising on his hand is due to frequent handshaking, but. Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
I thought you were gonna say something else when you said that. When you said Bruce on his hand is due to frequent. I said, oh, my gosh, you better not say that.
Morgan
That brings me to the next topic.
Jess Hilarious
Leg swelling could be a cardiovascular issue, too. You. You just don't say, everything is okay when your legs just randomly swell up. That's just not the way life works. You know, that's more. That's more pee on our head. Telling us it's Rain Man.
Morgan
All right, y'. All. So speaking. So the White House is looking to turn the page on the Jeffrey Epps case. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt was asked about what part of the DOJ investigation into the late sex trafficker President Trump referred to as a hoax on Wednesday. Now, she claimed the administration has been open about the entire process. Let's take a listen to her comments.
Jess Hilarious
The president is referring to the fact that Democrats have now seized on this.
DJ Envy
As if they ever wanted transparency when.
Jess Hilarious
It comes to Jeffrey Epstein, which is an asinine suggestion for any Democrat to make. It was this president who directed the Department of Justice and the Attorney Attorney General to do an exhaustive review of all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which they did.
Morgan
So she went on to blast the media for continued coverage of Epstein, saying the American people care more about bigger issues. Now, of course, this comes as President Trump is threatening to sue the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch after the organization posted an article about a letter from Trump to Epstein on Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that Murdoch and the Journal were directly warned about the letter, saying it was fleeting, fake, and they printed it anyway so they would be sued. Now, he said Murdoch told him he would take care of it, but Trump said he obviously did not have the power to do so. Trump also asked Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, to produce any and all pertinent grand jury testimony related to Epstein. So this thing is now rolling and it is appearing that it is. Yeah, it's growing some legs.
Jess Hilarious
It should have more than legs. I mean, it should never, ever go away. I keep saying, like, this is the issue Democrats to jump on because this is their transgender and women's sports issue. It's that issue that for whatever reason, their base cares about in a real way. So if you're trying to build with that a bridge with that base, stay on this issue and I'll go.
Charlamagne Tha God
I was gonna say, yeah, we can say all that. But let's be honest. While Trump is the president, you're not going to see nothing with them Epstein files. You're not going to say it. I don't care how much you fight, how much you scream, how much you yell, how much you. You put graffiti on. You write it. It doesn't matter. It is not coming out. Possibly when he gets out of office, but right now, he's just doing it for nothing.
Jess Hilarious
You're probably right. Envy. But guess what? We never saw no trans women I mean, no transgenders in women's sports either, like that. But it was just the fact that you keep pressing the issue over and over and over just because. And I hope y' all understand the jig, too, he's already blaming it on Democrats, and Democrats had nothing to do with this. So whatever comes out is either true and they will say it's not. Whatever comes out is simply fake. My point is, you can't. My point is, you just can't trust whatever. If something does come out, you're not even gonna be able to trust whether it's real or not.
Morgan
So the Journal does this. The Wall Street Journal does describe the letter as body and says it concludes with, quote, Trump saying, happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret. So it does appear that there is something to hide there. So y' all stick around.
Jess Hilarious
I sound crazy. Why would you write that to another man? Well, I hope every day another wonderful secret. What the hell?
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, what are we talking next, Al Morgan?
Morgan
We're talking about the sentence that is being suggested in the death of Breonna Taylor or the police officer that is involved in that case. So, yeah, stick around. More front page news at 7.

DJ Envy
Oh, okay.
Jess Hilarious
I didn't manage. I was in nexton. How they build a whole town. God damn.
D.C. Young Fly
First of all, that place is blowing up. We about to build a Costco over there, and it's really gonna be blowing up.
Jess Hilarious
They got a public. It's unbelievable. I mean, just to watch them build a whole town in a couple of years, Like, God damn.
D.C. Young Fly
It's about to be its own little thing. Like Goose Creek and Mont Corner. It's about to be nexted.
Jess Hilarious
Yep.
D.C. Young Fly
Not even Somerville.
Jess Hilarious
You're right, yo.
D.C. Young Fly
I had to get it off my chest. That little twin ass boy I had up there, Nino or whatever his name is, Neon Y better not apologize. Whatever his name is, y' all better not apologize to him. Punk ass. That little boy need an ass Whoop it.
Jess Hilarious
You damn right.
D.C. Young Fly
And then he was humble. He was humble. Just humbled. The out of him, y', all, man. You almost out of him. He walk out and became a totally different person. A totally different person. He all boasting his chest, yo, and home. He'd have whooped his ass as soon as he walked out the radio station. He got his ass whooped because you wasn't tough like that in the station. Now you walk out.
DJ Envy
Of here.
D.C. Young Fly
Excuse me. You better go sit down somewhere, yo. Like, I can't stand that. That's the problem. Now, his mama should have worked his ass, because that's the. Yo, the little kids in that Internet, they don't even know when you beat them up, they call the police.
Jess Hilarious
You know what I'm saying? Like, we don't want nobody. We don't want nobody to get their ass whipped. You know what I mean? It was just a conversation. I don't.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, Mama, you know, you listen to the Breakfast Club. That happens a lot on the Breakfast Club. Somebody's humble pie here. And then when they get off, they start reading their comments and they change. It happens all the time. You just gotta. Just gotta let them live.
Jess Hilarious
What do you mean? See it after we're like, on their scream or whatnot.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I guess on the stream, it was talking a lot differently.
Jess Hilarious
Got you. Got you.
D.C. Young Fly
My whole thing is, that's the problem now. All this racist stuff going on, and he just helping it. You know what I'm saying? Calling monkeys and all this other stuff, he's helping it. We got enough to fight with now. Soon as we feel like we got a Kumbaya moment, you got little like him. That's. That's boosting it.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
D.C. Young Fly
So, you know, you are protected by black people. Like y' all said his cameraman is bodyguard. You want us to protect you, but at the same time, you got people talking crap online, calling people monkeys and stuff. Come on, now. You can't play both sides.
Jess Hilarious
Pick a side. Can he control that, though? Can he control what other people say?
D.C. Young Fly
Nah, but at the same time, you got all these followers. You can control the narrative. You can control the narrative.
Nyla Simone
Okay, okay.
D.C. Young Fly
You could drive the car in a different direction.
Nyla Simone
I agree with you. No, absolutely. That's exactly what I told him. I agree with you. I don't agree that don't nobody need their ass whipped, but I definitely understand, you know, what you're saying, Char, but I get her too. At the same time, we don't want.
Jess Hilarious
Nobody to get their ass whipped. Now, if you get your ass whipped, that ain't got nothing to do with us, because the reality of the situation is the energy you put out is the energy you get back. And everybody have to deal with the consequences of their actions. I'm never wanting somebody to get their ass whipped, but, I mean, sometimes ass whippings are inevitable. I don't got punched in my face. That's why I keep trying to tell these kids, I'm not telling y' all nothing that I haven't experienced firsthand. Okay? There is a one plus one always will equal two.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. But also, like you said, if the young man came up there and he was really wanted to evolve and he really wanted to change his life and not want to be a troll, we'll see where it is next year. Right? But you can't come up there and say that and then later on on your chat start going crazy. That just shows that you really are just doing it for. For your trolling purposes. But hopefully we'll, you know, we'll hear him about him in a year, in a year or two, and he will change and he'll be a different person. Like he said, he wants to be.
Jess Hilarious
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Or it could be B.S. so we'll see.
Jess Hilarious
And I will say accountability will always look like an attack when you're not truly ready to acknowledge your behavior.
Nyla Simone
That's the word. Keep that for the positive note.
DJ Envy
If you don't remember Harriet Tubman yesterday.
Jess Hilarious
I was.
DJ Envy
Like, guys, just in solidarity.
Charlamagne Tha God
Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got the latest Lauren coming up. What we talking about?
DJ Envy
We do. We're gonna talk about the Late show and Stephen Colbert because the show got canceled yesterday.
Nyla Simone
Hell, no.
DJ Envy
Yo, it's crazy. I'm trying to figure out, like, is it politics? Is it finances? We're gonna get into it.
Jess Hilarious
Don't nobody listen.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why don't you ask Charlamagne?
DJ Envy
But we gonna get into it.
Jess Hilarious
Come to the front of the congregation today.
Chico Bean
I might.
Jess Hilarious
I know we do People's Donkey on Friday, but I need Paramount, CBS to come to the front of the congregation. I made a lot of money with Paramount, CBS over the years, but this is ridiculous.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, well, we'll get to that next, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Jess Hilarious
Morning, everybody.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Nyla Simone
Lauren becoming a straight face.
Charlamagne Tha God
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
Jess Hilarious
She gets the details.
DJ Envy
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Jess Hilarious
She'll be having the latest on.
Carlos Miller
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.
DJ Envy
So Stephen Colbert, last night, he surprisingly announced that the Late show on CBS will be canceled. Let's take a listen.
I
Before we start the show, I want to let you know something that I found out just last night. Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending the Late show in May. And, yeah, I share your feelings. It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of the Late show on cbs. I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away. And I do want to say that the folks at CBS have been great partners. I'm so grateful to the Tiffany network for giving me this chair and this beautiful theater to call home. And of course, I'm grateful to you, the audience who have joined us every night in here, out there, all around the world, Mr. And Mrs. America and all the ships at sea. I'm grateful to share the stage with this band These artists over here every night. And I am extraordinarily, deeply grateful to the 200 people who work here.
Jess Hilarious
I mean, it's not a surprise if you've been paying attention, but it is a shock that, wow, Paramount, y' all really folded to the Trump administration. Y' all really folded to authoritarian strategy, huh?
DJ Envy
Okay, so I'm glad you directed the people to the right way to be paying attention because, you know, people are trying to change this conversation into ratings, which is crazy, because the highest rated.
Jess Hilarious
Late night show on television.
DJ Envy
Talk crazy. Exactly. So the way that c. And then. Then they tried to take it away from the ratings. And CBS released a statement that says this is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in. In late night. It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content, or other matters happening at Paramount. A lot of people are pointing to the fact that when Stephen Colbert came back at the top of the week, he had talked about the lawsuit that's currently happening with Paramount Law School.
Jess Hilarious
Paramount settled.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Jess Hilarious
Well, they gave him $60 million.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Jess Hilarious
They gave Trump administration. Yes. $60 million.
DJ Envy
Yeah, yeah.
Jess Hilarious
So without the Trump administration, but whoever. Who other from Trump that sued them? I forgot.
DJ Envy
I'm not for sure.
Jess Hilarious
Trump did sue them, though.
DJ Envy
Yes. So, yes, it was settled. But there were some comments that he made at the top of the week about that, and people are alluding to maybe that has something to do with it, but I don't know. I think I was surprised when I saw the announcement. I read an article from someone and I believe she was from the New York Times, who was in the audience who said she thought the surprise was gonna be something good. And it was this, like, everybody was kind of caught off guard with this.

So Paramount lying about why you got rid of Colbert sounds like people in the Trump administration lying about why they won't release the Epstein files. Like, it's so obvious they are doing this to appease Trump, so he lets this merger go through. Okay. Paramount is looking for FCC approval for its Skydance merger. Trump can block that if he wants to. So firing Colbert is an obvious move to appease Donald Trump. I mean, paramount paid Trump $16 million for essentially no reason. The FCC launched an investigation in the cbs, abc and NBC after Trump said that he claimed that it was biased editing, even though CBS released full transcripts of that Kamala Harris interview to prove accuracy. So this is literally just a taurian authoritarian strategy at work. And if you don't think we are under a regime with an authoritarian strategy, then you Are bugging. This is textbook authoritarian strategy. Target your critic. Centralized power in a few hands. Intimidate through punishment are removal. And you know what this usually does? It makes people shut the hell up. In regards to talking about 100 administration.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, absolutely. Yeah. I mean, because. Yeah, but if people are losing their jobs and losing money. Yes. People gonna shut the F up.
Jess Hilarious
Well, I thought that this was the administration that didn't believe in censorship. I thought this was the administration that believed in free speech. Okay. Paramount and CBS should be ashamed of themselves. And you can't trust anything you see on that company moving forward. They might as well cancel all their news. Lose. How can you trust him at this point?
DJ Envy
Yeah, I. I don't know. I feel like people already kind of giving up hope in things on actual, like, linear tv. But then you have these staple shows like Stephen Colbert and these, you know, people, these talking heads that you. You trust. And then you take them off air. It's like TV is done. Like at this point, we fold into things. But yeah. So I mean, I guess, you know, he. I was gonna say we'll see where he lands, but he's Stephen Colbert, so he'll do whatever he wants to do.
Jess Hilarious
He's filthy.
DJ Envy
Yeah. Do whatever he wants to do.
Jess Hilarious
At this point, he'll be in South Carolina, living his best life, growing out his beard, growing out his mustache. He'll be. He'll be more than fine. Trust and trust. Trust and believe, okay? Him and him and every gonna be living their best life, period.
Nyla Simone
Good.
DJ Envy
Well, in other news. So last night there was a video from a Coldplay concert that began to circulate online. It was a kiss cam where you know how they jumbotron the audience. So when there were two people that came up on the screen, there was a CEO from a company called Astronomer and another woman who worked there. She is a part of, like, their HR team. She works with people and staff there.
Charlamagne Tha God
There's something special about folks who come through without being asked. Like your coworker surprising you with your favorite coffee just because. Or your friend handing you the aux cord the moment you get into the car. No debate, no fight. Just positive vibes. That kind of love. It just hits different. And that's exactly the energy.

DJ Envy
And when the dremotron screen, the camera hit them, they hid from the camera like crazy. But take a listen to Chris Martin from Coldplay.
Jess Hilarious
Oh, look at these two. All right. Come on. You know, okay, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very sharp. Hey.
Nyla Simone
It'S like he was able to see.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Nyla Simone
Literally the first thing he said was, look at these two.
DJ Envy
I mean, they were. They were hugged up in the video. They were enjoying the concert. Hugged up. The. The camera hits them and then they. Their reaction made the video go viral, in my opinion, because that's what I said.
Charlamagne Tha God
If they would have just kept it cool that way, nobody would even posted it.
DJ Envy
Exactly. Now, there are reports because, you know, there are reports that Andy Byron and Christine Cabot reportedly are both in marriages, but that has not been confirmed. There was a statement that was floating around yesterday, but if you went and checked Astronomer's website, it was not on their press release website. It was not real. And then this morning, there was a story that came out. TMZ did a story this morning that the company is saying that that statement was not true. And people were laughing at the statement because Econom was basically blaming Coldplay, but the statement wasn't true. They. Neither party has made a statement in this to confirm or deny. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know who made it up.
Nyla Simone
But no, I'm saying people were picking it up like video. It's probably AI real.
DJ Envy
I didn't see the video.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, that's the story you would go with? That's what you would say. You would say that that was AIs. That's what you said. Ah, just. You've done this before.
Nyla Simone
That's the hell. No, I ain't done this before. But I'm saying with AI come, you know, they. The statement obviously is fake. With everything, you. When you watch videos, you never know what's real, what's fake. So they could both say that was AI.
Jess Hilarious
I'll tell you one thing. He deserved to get caught because he was doing too much with his side piece. You don't take your side piece to no damn Coldplay concert.
Nyla Simone
It's on both of them.
Jess Hilarious
Both of them married.
DJ Envy
That's what the reports are. That's what the reports are.
Jess Hilarious
They both was doing too much with their side pieces. You know, your side piece is your side piece for a reason. Okay? You're supposed to be sneaking around, right?
DJ Envy
This ain't giving side. There's all the food touching. You can't figure out where to eat first. This is not side.
Jess Hilarious
And that's. That's. And you know what? Look at her.
Nyla Simone
But that's every side piece's dream, though. If she is a side piece and not in. In a marriage, that' a side piece. That's a side piece dream to get caught out with the guy.
Jess Hilarious
Ooh. And a lot of y' all think that y' all gonna go, you know, be with a white man and that white man ain't gonna cheat on you. You know what I'm saying? That's what. Black men don't cheat, but white. White men still out here living la. You hear me?
Nyla Simone
Coldplay is one of my favorite groups, by the way.
Jess Hilarious
I love that he old school cheating too. He cheating like we don't live in a digital age where everything is recording.
Charlamagne Tha God
But you see him trying to duck down.
DJ Envy
Like he got.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn. And they got on the floor.
DJ Envy
I think he could move that fast. All that great on his head. Crazy away.
Nyla Simone
And in vip, like, they.
Jess Hilarious
You can literally see the.
Nyla Simone
Cuz they're apart from everybody else. They in vip.
DJ Envy
Yeah. I mean, neither one of them so far have come out and, like, condemned all of the, like, reports of it was cheating, blah, blah, blah. But they also. So we're still waiting to hear from the two parties involved at this point, because what the heck, you just got.
Jess Hilarious
To hope your significant other don't see it how.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, right.
Jess Hilarious
All of a sudden, you got to go into social media fast. You know what's really ruining us as a society? Social media. Let's get off, baby.
DJ Envy
Too late for that.
Jess Hilarious
Let's delete all our ass.
DJ Envy
Page Six already did a article about the astronomer's wife, and allegedly she had to remove her Facebook because people were coming and commenting on her page and stuff.
Jess Hilarious
So when you say astronomer, do you mean somebody who does horoscopes?
DJ Envy
I don't know what an astronomer does.
Jess Hilarious
Let me look.
DJ Envy
I'm go back on the Website. Yeah.
Nyla Simone
It got something to do with space. Got to, don't it?
DJ Envy
Astro, the first data ops platform built on lower blind powers. Routine to build, run and observe Pipelines just work. I don't know. This is the website right here.
Jess Hilarious
That field of astronomy. I'm stupid.
Nyla Simone
So it's something to do with I'm stupid.
Jess Hilarious
Don't listen.
DJ Envy
Me too. I was on the website. Don't know what he did. I'm emailing like, hey, y' all know him reaching out.
Jess Hilarious
That one weed with cocaine back in the day is ruined me.
Nyla Simone
Well, it's Nelson Mandela birthday.
Jess Hilarious
Yes. Drop on the clues box for Nelson Mandela. Yes. Okay.
Nyla Simone
Very powerful.
Charlamagne Tha God
How you're not gonna say Wendy Williams?
Jess Hilarious
She already did. You weren't paying attention. Yep.
Nyla Simone
It's Wendy's birthday.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right.
Jess Hilarious
Right.
Nyla Simone
Wendy does not give cancer. She's a cancer.
Carlos Miller
I don't know.
Nyla Simone
I feel like Wendy get Virgo. I don't know.
Jess Hilarious
You don't know Wendy Williamson?
DJ Envy
No, no.
Nyla Simone
Nobody knows him more than you. But I'm just like. I'm just saying. Nobody. All right, ladies.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, all right. Well, thank you for the latest with Lauren. When we come back, we got front page News and then 85 South show will be joining us. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Carlos Miller
Your mornings will never be the same.
Charlamagne Tha God
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. What's up, Morgan?
DJ Envy
Hey, y'.
Jess Hilarious
All.
Morgan
So I got a lot to get to in this hour, so bear with me. So the House is voting to pass a package of $9 billion in DOGE spending cuts. Lawmakers voted 216 to 213 to approve the cuts to public broadcasting, global health programs, and foreign aid. This after Republican senators narrowly passed the package on Thursday. The bill can now head to President Trump's desk for his signature. Now elsewhere.
Jess Hilarious
I just don't understand why they are so hell bent on cutting things that actually help people. Things that actually educate people. Things that actually, you know, provide funding, you know, for people to actually eat. You know, I'm an ambassador for the Food bank in New York City and like, it's programs like that that are directly impacted by these cuts. And if you see the work that these people do, all they're doing is providing, you know, groceries and food for people who actually need it. So why are you so hell bent spent on hurting people that help? I don't understand that logic.
Morgan
Well, they claim that, you know, maybe things are being taken advantage of some of these programs, that a lot of people are, you know, just taking advantage of the programs, taking advantage of the system and that they don't necessarily need it or that they're just, it's a crutch.
Jess Hilarious
Well, they need to come to the hood and they need to have conversations with people. They need to come to rural areas like I'm from in South Carolina and have conversations with people and realize that a lot of these people are doing the best they can, saying, busting their ass, going to work, but they got enough money to put, you know, to pay their bills, but they may not have enough money for food. And this is where these programs like this, you know, help clock it.
Morgan
All right, so let's continue to say her name. Brianna Taylor. The Justice Department is seeking a one day prison sentence for a former police officer in the death of Breonna Taylor in Kentucky. Now, Brett Hankinson was working as a detective for the Louisville Metro Police Department when he he shot blindly into a home during a botched raid in 2020. Hankinson was convicted of deprivation of rights under color of law late last year. That's a federal crime where a person is acting under the authority of the law willfully, where they willfully deprive another person of their rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution or federal laws. Now, the officers who killed Taylor were not charged due to them returning fire at Taylor's boyfriend. The DOJ said reasonable minds might disagree as to whether defendant Hankinson's conduct con constituted a seizure under the fourth Amendment in the first place. Hankinson is scheduled to be sentenced next week. So that's seems to be sparking some controversy that they're only seeking the DOJ is only seeking a one day prison sentence which is essentially time served.
Nyla Simone
That's crazy.
Morgan
So speaking of protecting black women, Maryland Senator Angela also Brooks is teaming up with lawmakers from Ohio and New York in an effort to fight fibroids. Now, July is fibroids awareness Month. And also Brooks joined Congresswoman Chantel Brown and Yvette D. Clark to announce the Uterine Fibroid Intervention and Gynecological Health Treatment act, also known as you fight. Maryland's first black senator spoke more about the bill in a recent post on Instagram. Let's take a listen to her comments.
DJ Envy
80% of all African American women, 60%.
Nyla Simone
Of all women suffer from uterine fibroids.
Jess Hilarious
This is fibroid awareness Month.
DJ Envy
And what we're working on is Increasing the amount of research that is done regarding fibroids so that we can have for our daughters and granddaughters an opportunity to not only understand that this is happening, but to heal it. We are really calling on many of our agencies, NIH in particular and others, to increase the amount of funding that is available in states to, to, to.
Nyla Simone
Study and eventually also to treat fibroids.
Morgan
So the legislation is part of a larger package aimed to advance uterine health initiatives. And of course, the senator said she's going to reach across the aisle hoping that this can be a bipartisan issue because, you know, women, you look women we know women don't matter. Democrat, we know.
Nyla Simone
Absolutely. And if you, and, and if you are experiencing like, like crazy, crazy menstrual symptoms, right. Cramps and then just like a heavy, heavy flow, you know what I mean? Like in your 30s. Because after having my daughter, yo, I'm telling you, it's gotten so bad and I just out of nowhere, like, you know what I mean? All of a sudden it just got so much worse. Like the cramps from the bleeding, everything, you know what I mean? And it lasts way longer. So I think this is really good what they're doing because we all need to be aware of what's going on with us, especially when we get to these ages.
Morgan
Absolutely. And so the president of the nation.
Jess Hilarious
47. When you get to these ages.
Nyla Simone
But I'm telling you, things change, though. After I had my daughter, I just, I just had a baby and my menstruals are way worse. I don't know. I don't know. So, you know, also go to the doctor to see. But yeah, I have an appointment coming up to see about that. I'm to going. Glad to see that they're doing something about that. But yeah, at these ages, like I said, in your 30s, which you wouldn't even usually hear about stuff like this happening until like 40s and 50s. No, things are happening to us way earlier.
Morgan
Like, I don't know, definitely happening a lot earlier. Five is actually the age, I believe that is like once you start to look at complications in pregnancy, 35 and up. So to your point. All right, switching gears, the president of the National Urban League, Mark Morial, says democracy in America is under siege. Now, the four New Orleans mayor was speaking on the findings at the Urban League's annual State of Black America report, which he calls a warning and a rallying cry for civil rights. Let's take a listen to Marc Morial.
Chico Bean
We have to recognize that this is.
Jess Hilarious
Going to be a long battle.
Chico Bean
This challenge is not going to be solved by a single Supreme Court decision, a single piece of legislation or a single election. This is really a battle for the future of America, whether America is going to be a multi racial democracy, whether America is going to be a nation that truly provides economic opportunity for all.
Morgan
So he pointed to the Trump administration's efforts to end diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and the Supreme Court's recent rulings to end race based or Supreme Court's rulings to end race based affirmative action in college admissions. Now today on the Black information network@binnews.com at 11am and 5pm we will have a special encore presentation on the network of the State of Black Radio sessions from Urban League National Convention featuring our president Tony Coles and Mark Morial. They have a nice little robust conversation there. During this session they address several important topics that are currently impacting the black community. So check that out at 11am and 5pm on bin news.com the Black Information Network, if you can. That's front page news.
Nyla Simone
Y' all.
Morgan
Enjoy y' all Friday and your good weekend. Cheers to the MF and weekend. I'm Morgan Wood. Y' all follow me on socials at Morgan Media and for more news coverage, follow at Black Information Network, Download the free iHeartRadio app and visit us@b news.com Thank y'.

Chico Bean

Carlos Miller
And y' all had him up here.
Chico Bean
And then y' all want what we up here for.
Nyla Simone
Invited him up here.
DJ Envy
You know that's not true.
Jess Hilarious
What happened was he. He reach. Reached out to me to do his stream and then. And he kept asking to come up here because he wanted to announce that he was leaving kick. I'm like, I don't care. We've had a scream up here before. DDG been up here, so why not?
Charlamagne Tha God
He didn't even announce. He was like, I'm not announcing it here.
Jess Hilarious
He was like, I don't want to announce it. I mean, we. I mean, we've interviewed people that only come up. I bought to say we had Big Dank up here.
Carlos Miller
Who that?
Nyla Simone
The Detroit rapper? You know, know Big D. She the.
Chico Bean
One that had that lawsuit.
Jess Hilarious
Cargo.
Chico Bean
You know what? See, man, look, man. Terrible person. Don't understand.
Jess Hilarious
Now you turn it back to you, man.
Chico Bean
He didn't got that glitter on the.
Jess Hilarious
Top of his head.
Chico Bean
Now, I don't know what that is.
Jess Hilarious
What you.
Chico Bean
What you did to your head, man. Why is it glittering?
Jess Hilarious
It's glittering.
Carlos Miller
Like a church, man.
Chico Bean
Go up through menopause, man.
Jess Hilarious
But they is because of.
Nyla Simone
They on tour.
Jess Hilarious
I was about to say that before they. What the hell y' all doing? Like, we just showed up. First of all, we love having y'. All. How. Let's start there in D.C. being D.C. always late.
Chico Bean
I mean, you know.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know that he always come.
Chico Bean
Nah, he on his way. He on his way, man. Y' all had that monsoon up here the other day. We all almost didn't get in. Y' all had the. In the arms of the angel. Y' all was struggling up here the other day.
Carlos Miller
Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
How do y' all like? Y' all still like being on the road?
Carlos Miller
Absolutely.
Jess Hilarious
Okay.
Chico Bean
Being on the road is the blessing. Like I always tell people, you can't complain about the blessings God give you. Cause if you didn't have it, that's what you would be asking for. You would be asking to Be on the road all the time. So gotta love it. Cause you get to do what you love, and you get paid for it. It's a beautiful thing.
Jess Hilarious
How do y' all work on material.
Charlamagne Tha God
When you're always on the road? Like, y' all always out, whether it's together, whether it's apart, whether it's wilding out, whether you're like, y' all always on the road. So how do y' all work on material?
Chico Bean
I mean, because you're always on the road, you see things. You see different things. You see different perspectives when you go to different cities, you know, perform everywhere. Everywhere you go, they got different cultures and different ways of doing things. So you get to visualize all of that, and it goes into your stage show. Cause when you performing for people, they want to hear your perspective on their everyday life. And you get to see that when you're on the road. So that's the best part about it.
Jess Hilarious
Chico. You out there looking like Chico Lean, man.
Chico Bean
Yeah, man. I found out I had high blood pressure. I had to change my diet around. I went to the doctor. They told me I had high blood pressure. I was like, whatever. I don't care nothing about high blood pressure. Went back to the doctor, and another doctor came in. Like, when that second police officer come and you know you're going to jail, that's how the black man came in. He was like, brother, I don't think they did a good enough job of explaining to you the effects of high blood pressure is the biggest killer of black men.
Jess Hilarious
Heart attacks.
Chico Bean
Heart attacks, all that type of. I'm like, well, what are the effects? He said, erectile dysfunction. I was like, what? I gotta change. I won't eat food.
Carlos Miller
No, man.
Chico Bean
As soon as he said that's all I needed to hear, I'm like, nah, I am too young for that. But, yeah, I had to change a lot of stuff around, man. Can't eat chicken, can't eat bread, all that type of stuff. And that was one of the most hardest transitions. I just tell people now that sugar is the worst drug in the world. Because don't nobody stop you when you got it. You know, you can just have. Yeah, you can just have a plate full of sugar. Everybody be cool. You show up one crack rocket.
Carlos Miller
What's wrong?
Chico Bean
You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?
Carlos Miller
I can't light up no crack that. Second hand cracks. No, don't do that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Secondhand cracks.
Carlos Miller
Yeah, but now we try to steal your outfit.
Chico Bean
I know. Yeah, we. You know Envy. Light skinned. He been dressing like this. He been dressing like this since the 80s. He wanted to be in. What's that? Ready for the World. Y' all know that NB audition for Ready for the World. And they make it. But yeah, man, I feel better, though. That's the best part about it. I feel so much better because once I made that transition, you look at yourself and you don't really see it till you look at old pictures and be like, God damn, nigga was built bad. But you know what I mean, the transition. I recommend all black men to go get their blood pressure checked, man. Cause it's very, very important. And you end up walking around with one Jordan on if you. You don't, man, listen.
Carlos Miller
Blood pressure me so bad. When I seen him lose all that weight, I just started losing weight, too. I was like, hey, man, what. Whatever it is you doing. I'm about to do some of that.
Jess Hilarious
I hope you going to the doctor, Carlo. Yeah, okay.
Carlos Miller
I got insurance. That's what you wanted to hear?
Jess Hilarious
Yes, I got insurance. What you wanted to hear? No, cuz, we. Man, you get to a certain age. I'm 47 now. You got to go get everything checked. Because when you start to realize what leads the heart attacks and what leads to strokes, the high blood pressure, the high cleft cholesterol, stuff we ain't never thought about, and you go to the doctor, like, what does that mean? Then they explain it to you. It's like, oh, I gotta get right. Yeah, yeah.
Chico Bean
I mean, you definitely got right. You got right long time ago. Once you got that stuff done in your skin.
Jess Hilarious
That's right.
Chico Bean
I knew it was gonna be good. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I know. He got everything taken off, man. Yeah, yeah, he got everything taken off. He got everything taken off. Y' all don't even know this man. Yeah, he got rid of all that. You know, he got rid of all. He the first one.
Jess Hilarious
Like Mr. Terrific from Superman.
Chico Bean
Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
You know what I mean?
Chico Bean
He be. He sleep with bobby pins, pulling his skin back. When he go to sleep at night, he just be in the bed straight up like this. I'm like, so. You know, taking care of yourself is. Is very important, man. And like I said, black men, for some reason, we don't like to go to the doctor, and they just want to keep drinking ginger ales.
Carlos Miller
And the first thing most black men do is walk to the stove.
Chico Bean
Yeah, that's it.
Jess Hilarious
What?
Carlos Miller
Just walk to the store. That's all.
Jess Hilarious
That's from some ass that's it? Wait till y' all gotta get them prostates checked, though.
Chico Bean
Hey, man, see that your freaky ass go, hey, man, why you. Come on, man.
Jess Hilarious
Now, it's so much that you could.
Chico Bean
Have went to before that, you know, get them prostate check. Oh, it's such a beautiful experience. Come on, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
You didn't get your prostate check yet?
Chico Bean
Nah, nah, nah. Not yet. Have you? Yes, you said that with prize. Yes, I have. Yes, I have.
Jess Hilarious
Twice. Yeah, but what was the first one? A trial run?
Carlos Miller
I keep your mind checked. Yeah.
Chico Bean
You got a trial run prostate check. I'm gonna let you do it before I go to the doctor to warm myself up.
Carlos Miller
The doctor tell him, look, we don't gotta do this every time you come.
Jess Hilarious
Why not? Why not?
Carlos Miller
I wanna make sure I'm okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
I gotta be healthy.
Jess Hilarious
When you. When you about 43, 44. If you got a history of it in your family, you supposed to go get it checked.
Chico Bean
Yeah, I know they say it's you got to, but you know, I ain't got there yet.
Jess Hilarious
No, you got to, Chico.
Charlamagne Tha God

Jess Hilarious
You got to. You can't lose all why you did.
Chico Bean
I mean, okay, I got you. All right? One day I will. And I'm not coming up here to talk to y' all freaky ass about it.
Charlamagne Tha God
They put you to sleep. They give you a drug they shouldn't.
Carlos Miller
Have to put you to.
Morgan
Time they got.
Jess Hilarious
They put you to sleep, you ain't get the regular jump. No, that was the regular.
Chico Bean
They sexually assaulted you. They got you on camera. You went to a freak off.
Carlos Miller
There was no love to you.
Jess Hilarious
Envy said, think about the colon. Check about colonoscopy. Colonoscopy.
Chico Bean
That ain't even the same thing.
Jess Hilarious
I was going to the next one. No, you weren't.
Chico Bean
You just on ass evictions, man.
Jess Hilarious
You ain't on ass out here, man. What's up with your man?
Carlos Miller
He on the table, but on his stomach. Y' all ain't got nothing else.
Jess Hilarious
But, yo.
Charlamagne Tha God
We'Re still kicking it with 85 South Show.
Nyla Simone
Jess, do y' all ever have, like, problems making decisions? Because it is three of y', all, right? And say if one of y' all don't want to do something, how many of y' all have to say, like, no or yes for y' all to, like, collectively agree or disagree on something?
Carlos Miller
It ain't a whole lot of things we gotta collectively agree on. That's the best part about it. So sometimes we show up with two wrong answers and the right one. And sometimes we have days where people just make their own decision and be like, hey, bro, do what you want to do, but you got my full support. It ain't a whole lot of things. We don't clash on nothing, really. We don't like the same type of women. We don't hang out at the same type of place. It's just we got a dope bond where it's like we just. We brothers.
Chico Bean
Yeah, we brothers. And it's just. It's literally family, you know what I'm saying? You know, the things you go through with your family, whatever the conversation is, it's always in house, and we always take care of it. It's never public, you know, never for public consumption. And that's what make things easier. So when we got to make those decisions, it's always a collective bargaining agreement. And we, you know, whatever, whichever way it go, we all understand it's all done out of love. So it make it easy, you know what I'm saying? And that's what makes us special. Because, you know, you do comedy as you. It's a one man sport, you in the microphone. So what we do, we show that it's possible to be able to have that type of camaraderie and still get the same product and the same result, even though we're doing it in the different way.
Jess Hilarious
And y' all trust each other. I saw an interview DC was doing, and he was just talking about LOS being the og.
Chico Bean
Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
Without question, those being the lead. I think. I think the question might have been, who's the leader? Yeah, who's the leader? And I've heard you say that too, Chico, man, you know how hard that is for men to do?
Chico Bean
No, not for us, because you got to think about the place that we came from. Like, we all started with nothing. Like, every time we come to New York, me and Los had this conversation about how he was walking around sending $50 back home, Western Union, and washing clothes in the basement of the hotel. And when you have that type of vision, that's all you have is the vision at certain. At certain points. And he always had that vision to see past wherever we were at in the moment.
Carlos Miller
And the biggest thing for me, too, I think it's because we was all broke together at some point, you know what I'm saying? And it was like we had those conversations, those late nights, sitting around like, bro, and I get some bread. We gonna. Hey, we're gonna do this for real. You. That's what you want, I bet. And then it actually happened. So that Was that was one of those things that really formed the bond.
Chico Bean
Yeah, he don't. Like I said, he always had the vision. He was one of the ones that saw. When we were on Wild N Out, as great as the opportunity there was for all of us, he was always the one like, man, look, we gotta look past this, we gotta do this, we gotta do that, we gotta do this. And I say that cause he's an elder. He went through certain trenches that me and Fly didn't have to go. They didn't really even exist once we got in the game. I started in'08, and we was the, you know, the last beacon of Diego D.C. dago. Look at his face. Yeah, we was Fly. We was just talking about just the vision that Lo had. The vision that Lo had just when we first was starting out, to see past the moments that we were at and, you know, have the vision to understand that this was the. The direction to go in. You know what I'm saying?
Jess Hilarious
Oh, yeah, for sure, man. OG always had the vision. You dig what I'm saying? Saying, like, since day one, he just jumped right in.
Charlamagne Tha God
Know exactly what he be talking about.
Carlos Miller
Tell me. I was wearing Gucci though, bro. I ain't got no.
Chico Bean
You wouldn't have bought none either way. Only time you been.
Jess Hilarious
Shut up.
Chico Bean
You talking about. Yeah, we don't care nothing about that. You spend $30,000 a week on skin care routine.
Jess Hilarious
Over the years. That. That coming along. You don't look like an orange no more.
Chico Bean
He looked like one of them oranges that's been sitting on the table for years. That's what he used to look like all the way.
Jess Hilarious
But no, man, OGJ always had the vision. You dig what I'm saying? Like, that I think that what it. That it comes down to, like, if you got something going on and you know you need help, you feel what I'm saying? Then not only that, the dudes you asking for help from, they need help, you feel me? It's a group collective. And I think that's. That's what, you know what I'm saying? Us as black folk don't do together, bro. We don't come together and ask for help like asking for help. Thinking like, you belittling yourself or you like, man, I don't need it, bro. We need each other, bro. And at the end of the day, we can grow together, bro. That's. That's the only way we can go to the next step quicker, you know what I'm saying? Without you trying to do it. By yourself. I mean, we all can do things by ourselves, but you see as a collective, when we do things together so much, it's like effortlessly, you feel what I'm saying, saying, so what's been the biggest lesson in ownership y' all had to learn the hard way? Don't want to that own.
Chico Bean
Yeah, because you take away the. The. The negotiation power from people when you own your product, you know what I'm saying? People can't come and give you deal, you know, give you terms and conditions that you have to adhere to because you need them, you know what I'm saying? And a lot of times in this industry, people, especially the powers that be, they used to you being. Being, you know, in. In need, you know what I'm saying? And they used to being able to throw anything at you and you'll take it because you don't know no better. But when you own it, it gives you a level of freedom that you don't have to worry about certain types of things happening in your negotiations or dealing with certain types of people and being able to walk away from money.
Jess Hilarious
Being able to say no.
Chico Bean
Everybody thinks that the opportunity is attached to a dollar, but a lot of times it's not. But you're not able to see that if you got to get the dollar, you know what I'm saying?
Carlos Miller
They got to handle you way different when they know you don't need it. Like when you said it don't matter the money, sometimes you're like, no, I'm cool. Then they'd be like, well, why, why though? What you want? Nothing. I just, I don't. I don't see what. You see what you need me for?
Jess Hilarious
What you think? Where we going?
Carlos Miller
Yeah, it's way different when you. When you can say no sometimes.
Jess Hilarious
And sometimes they also think that somebody's already behind you already. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like, they just swore. We always work for somebody saying that day one, not knowing that we start this from the ground up trying to figure it out. And I think that it's a difference between when you got people that's putting the money behind and then we used our own money. You see what I'm saying? Like, we can't mess up nobody else money. We don't messed up a lot of our money. You know what I mean? We don't mess up a lot of our money. But I think that's the, the growing pain. That's what comes with understanding. Like, you know what? The mistakes ain't mistakes. The. To us. Yeah. The mistakes are learning lessons. So every mistake we had, we just figured out, oh, you know what, let's just do something different then. Versus we gotta answer to somebody. Be like, well, why that didn't work then? We don't see the vision. All right, season two council like, man, we've been doing this since 2015.
Carlos Miller
Yeah, we took our bumps with our own money. So then when we did get some of their money, we had already went through the errors and it worked out.
Chico Bean
Yeah, it's a lot less pressure not having to recoup somebody else bread.
Jess Hilarious
What are you talking about?
Carlos Miller
So you can get paid first. When you use your own bread, you ain't got to pay nobody back.
Charlamagne Tha God
I was wondering, you know, you guys will roast anybody anytime, anywhere, any place. It depends who got the most sensitive when it came to.
Jess Hilarious
Oh, it depends for real? D.C. yeah, it depends. See, I use it as a defense mechanism. It ain't just like I'm just waking up like I want to get on somebody nerve today. No, it ain't that. You gonna say something to me? I got something back. Like, this is my twin brother. This has always been my twin brother since the day of time. But it's just like, that's my uncle. That's your uncle. You see what I'm saying now?
Nyla Simone
How the you become your uncle? I'm not your uncle ever before, I.
Jess Hilarious
Think when you got married, that's when you got married.
Chico Bean
Yeah. You became Auto. Yeah, she married. She unstated. Man, look at the ring. She got the ring on. You know what I mean? Yeah, she married. You know what I mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
She got married.
Chico Bean
She got married. She ain't inviting none of us to the ceremony. I tell you that.
Jess Hilarious
It was quick. It was quick. She didn't even know.
Chico Bean
She just woke up.
Jess Hilarious
For real.
Nyla Simone
Oh, my God, y' all so stupid.
Charlamagne Tha God
But, but did anybody get super duper sensitive? He was like, let's leave him alone. Did that ever happen?
Jess Hilarious
What? On 85 South?
Charlamagne Tha God
No. When you, when you roasted somebody, whether.
Carlos Miller
It was in personal, who got the most sensitive? You.
Jess Hilarious
You.
Carlos Miller
The.
Jess Hilarious
But you don't never do it in front of us.
Carlos Miller
You and Ailia Banks.
Charlamagne Tha God
Not me.
Jess Hilarious
Oh.
Chico Bean
You'Ve been there. No, he, you know he going to.
Jess Hilarious
Be mad is because, like, your voice, like, did you get high pitch when y' all come around? Like, do you answer the phone like that? No.
Nyla Simone
No.
Jess Hilarious
Yo, Charlamagne.

Charlamagne Tha God
I ain't messing with y'.
Jess Hilarious
All.
Charlamagne Tha God
Matter of fact, I'm going to HR. We're still kicking it with 85 South Show Charlemagne.
Jess Hilarious
When you launched the podcast and you said, you know, I want to get Chico, I want to get DC to do the podcast, did you see this turning into the. The empire has become.
Carlos Miller
Yeah. That's why if you go back to the early episode when it was just us in the studio with me and Chico and DC, and then we always would say, hey, man, this. Who the podcast for. This for the podcast. Who. This podcast right here is for white women with black kids who don't know how to do their hair or, you know, this. This for everybody who ever had to use Vaseline is Grease. You feel me? So that. That's why we. That's how we did that. So, yeah, I always felt like. I still feel like this just the beginning. Like, we ain't did half the stuff. Stuff that we know we about to do. We got some big stuff coming up.
Chico Bean
I tell you who the podcast not for. Who got to get put to sleep to get their prostate check.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn.
Jess Hilarious
Who had to put sleep.
Carlos Miller
He did.
Chico Bean
He had to get.
Jess Hilarious
You had to go. You had to go to sleep game. You couldn't watch your game. What happened? You were like, you know what? That knock me out before you put your finger back there. Put me. That's not even how it go.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I don't know about colonoscopy. No, the fingers, the prostate.
Jess Hilarious
Oh, okay. And that lasts three seconds.
Charlamagne Tha God
How many times you got your prostate check?
Jess Hilarious
He like it. He go every week. He went for a vasectomy.
Charlamagne Tha God
They was like, turn around.
Jess Hilarious
I got it.
Carlos Miller
You got a vasectomy.
Jess Hilarious
I was. I went for the consultation. And what they do when you got. They turned to a prostate exam, so I ain't go back. Oh, but then you went to go get something clip, and you were like, you know what? No, I went for the consultation. And, you know, after they look at your. And all that, and the guy was just like, yo, what?
Chico Bean
You had to get butt naked?
Charlamagne Tha God
So he checked his prostate, and during that exam, during the consultation. I've never heard of that in my life.
Jess Hilarious
Me either. Not going to get the full procedure.
Carlos Miller
What made you want to get real doctors, man?
Chico Bean
What made you want to. Want to get. You already had all the kids and all that.
Jess Hilarious
Like, my wife wanted me to get one. She ain't one of my kids. She making. You just cut your man. I haven't done it yet, though. N. Be the man. Be the man of the household. Stop being a house man.
Chico Bean
Tie your nuts down. Nobody got time for this. You a poodle.
Jess Hilarious
So what's the difference?
Charlamagne Tha God
What's the difference between the prostate and the colonoscopy? Colonoscopy, they put you to sleep and they put a camera up your ass to make sure everything that's right.
Jess Hilarious
God damn it. The same.
Carlos Miller
The other one.
Jess Hilarious
Make sure things.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right?
Jess Hilarious
And that's crazy because a lot of men have to go through that. You going, I'm. I'm nervous. Yeah, but you going, though. I don't even like to do. Why you don't like the do? Because I ain't got time to be going back. I'm like, man, I wish I could pull my pants right back up. Imagine wiping your ass. Saying, pause. I can't do it. Damn.
DJ Envy
D.C. yo, what is it like watching.
Nyla Simone
The Poor Minds podcast, man?
Jess Hilarious
Beautiful. Great. Beautiful. Just saying, first of all, just seeing black women flourish. Let's just. Let's just take a pause for that.
Chico Bean
Yeah. Without question.
Jess Hilarious
Just black women flourish and. And having kings behind them. That's. You know what I'm saying? That's supporting. And don't look at them as sexual.
Nyla Simone
Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
You know what I'm saying? Like, this a family vibe. You dig what I'm saying? Like, we ain't got time for all that. Like, sometimes men, we have to understand that we need to have relationships with women. Without being sexual.
Carlos Miller
That's right.
Chico Bean
Creating a safe space, especially as black men. Creating a safe space for them to come and be secure without having to feel like they subjected to all of the things that come with the stigmas of being a woman, especially a black woman in this industry. You know what I mean? We always try to make sure that our presence makes our women feel comfortable and safe, that they can be themselves and not have to worry about getting judged or, you know, being looked at as objects, you know what I'm saying? And be able to really project their talents out the right way. And that's something that we find really important, because talking to our uncle and everything, like, she, you know, she'll let us know that, you know, the fights that she. We've been around her for years, like, and she's had to push through so much just because of the type of person that she is, and she ain't going for, you know what I'm saying? So that makes it very difficult for black women in this industry. So we want to create an environment where we, you know, you don't have to worry about none of that coming over here. You going, whatever it is you do. That's what we looking at you to do. Nothing else.
Carlos Miller
They just as dope as they ever were. Like, they didn't have to get dope. Like, I went and did the podcast with them a long time time ago at. At Dre's house. They were just in the living room just, you know, sipping wine, talking, and I was like, y' all got something. And I know that y' all some attractive women. People gonna want to hear y' all opinion on certain stuff, and just to see where they took it. It's crazy.
Jess Hilarious
That's dope, too. Environment, bro.
Carlos Miller
We want to be around talent that we respect because we know that these people have something different than just, you know, I mean, then just being our friends, we respect the talent that they have. We'd love to see Money Bag go on stage or Clayton English get to talking, you know, deep conspiracy theories and then, you know, broken play and poor mind. So it's like, these are the things that we want around us. People that we can have fun with, people that we can kick it. And we've known know once they can get our attention because we kind of tough critics. We know that the Mass is gonna mess with it.
Chico Bean
Hey, man, quick question before y'.
Carlos Miller
All.
Chico Bean
Who painted Styles P as Orlando Brown?
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, that's Donnell Rollins, too, right there. Where the one that look like.

Yeah, that's lotion in his hand.

Charlamagne Tha God
J Envy, let's go. I hate those guys. All right, well, let's get them. I do.
Nyla Simone
Lauren becoming a street f. She gets.
Jess Hilarious
Them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details.
DJ Envy
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Jess Hilarious
She be having the latest on this.
Carlos Miller
The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Jess Hilarious
Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything.
Carlos Miller
What was the latest on the Breakfast Club to me?
DJ Envy
So Denise Richards, reality star Denise Richards, actress, has recently been granted a temporary restraining order against Aaron Pipers, her husband, because of domestic. Because of alleged domestic violence that she claims went down. Now, in the filing that she put in to get this temporary restraining order, she includes some photos. One of the photos that she includes is of her eyes. Yes. Oh, my God. Yes.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
DJ Envy
You know Denise Richards?
Nyla Simone
Yeah, I know she is. I just didn't know her by name. Wow. Okay.
Jess Hilarious
So.
DJ Envy
So she. So what she claims happens in this photo, she said that this is not. She alleged that this is not the only time. She said that this has happened several times at the hands of her husband. But she says, you know, throughout our. Their relationship, Aaron. She claims Aaron would frequently violently choke her. Score. Squeeze her head with both hands, tightly squeeze her arms, slap her in her face, in her head, aggressively slam her head into bathroom towel racks and more. That photo of her severely bruised eye and swollen eye, black eyes from 2022. And that went down. They. She says that she alleged they were at his workplace in Malibu and there were some potted plants that were brought in, and he thought that the potted plants had, like, a listening device in it, got paranoid, and there was an alleged attack on her which resulted in this photo that we're looking at. But she did details.
Nyla Simone
If it was the listening devices, it hurt everything. Like why, why he attacked her because he thought she planted them.
DJ Envy
That's weird. I believe that's what she's hinting to in the doc. She's basically saying that there were instances where like he would just like spaz out about things. So, like for instance, there was a work trip that she was going on and she had said to him, I don't suggest you come with me on the work trip. And he went off and, you know, grabbed her by the back of her head. Head and her hair. Allegedly slammed her into the the ground, allegedly screaming, you're not canceling my flight. I'm going with you. I do not trust you. So she's alleging that, you know, because of these series of events and you know, the photos that she's inputting into this doc. She also has photos on a red carpet where there are bruises on her, she alleges come from these incidents that I think she's saying that he feared that she would go and tell police or somebody. Because she also talks about in this, in the report that she submitted that there were times where she thought about going to police and things of that nature. But allegedly he would say to her, if you do that, I'll kill you and I kill myself. Now he has come out and completely denied this and said that, you know, she's twisting things. He says that she is creating a story to save her image. Reporting a conjured up story when I have all the real evidence. It's not true. I have the details. That's what he told tmz.
Nyla Simone
But her eye looks horrible. It does definitely look like this. That. That's crazy.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's horrible.
DJ Envy
It is horrible.
Jess Hilarious

DJ Envy
I don't recognize the man in the video. I still reach out to Joe Tacopino, but you know, he wasn't the attorney in the guardianship. It was just her personal attorney. I'm not for sure, but she is with Suzanne, who used to be the producer of the Wendy Williams Show. That's the only person I recognize in this video. Video with her. Now you guys have questions of where things are and what's happening. Very hard for me to find out now because after the whole media storm and all the things and Wendy speaking out, remember the judge got really upset at her and made her restrictions very much so tighter when it came to talking to media and things of that nature. I've been trying since Mother's Day just to have like a more upbeat rapport with whoever her team is now. The last thing I was told, and this was from Joe Tekapino on Mother's Day. She didn't do anything. She sat in her room, she was very miserable. They were still waiting for certain things to happen so that they could, you know, do what they need to do. They're still fighting, they're still trying, but it was very like that's all I could get. I tried to do the same thing in this instance and I haven't gotten an update on anything. But we did see Wendy out yesterday.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, I have no idea who's on Wendy's team now. She did call me to wish me happy birthday a couple weeks ago, but I have no idea who's on her team.
DJ Envy
How was she when you talked to her?
Jess Hilarious
She was fine. You just called her wish me happy birthday?
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Did she change? Like what? Like what is going on? I'm totally confused cuz she would call, she would give us updates and the things just stop.
DJ Envy
Well, I mean, she's work. I think legally it got real. I think that's a part of it.
Jess Hilarious
I'm telling you. She called me a couple weeks ago, she wished me happy birthday. She said happy Birthday. I'm still in this room.
Chico Bean
Bye.
Nyla Simone
And you was in.
Jess Hilarious
Oh, no. She did. She asked me where I was. That's it. Just like that. Okay, I got to go.
DJ Envy
And you were in. What island was you on?
Charlamagne Tha God
Anguilla.
DJ Envy
Oh, my God.
Nyla Simone
Don't say, okay, I gotta go.
Jess Hilarious
Yo.
DJ Envy
Imagine I'm still in this room. Sorry. I'm in Anguilla. Yeah.
Nyla Simone
I gotta go.
Charlamagne Tha God
Dying.
DJ Envy
Well, I.
Jess Hilarious
Basically, that is a crazy feeling, like when somebody call you from prison or they call you from a situation, you know, they want to be in, they don't want to be in, but you are living your life, and you call.
Nyla Simone
Right before you hop on a jet ski.
Chico Bean
Yeah.
Nyla Simone
That's crazy.
DJ Envy
Yeah. I mean, I am.
Charlamagne Tha God
I am so confused. I thought Wendy was, like, almost home.
DJ Envy
Close to getting out, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Yep. You know, another. Go ahead.
Jess Hilarious
At least you get to go out and have a nice birthday dinner.
DJ Envy
Yeah. I was gonna say she's doing. Able to do that stuff, and she, you know, that's all I got.
Nyla Simone
I don't seem like she's happy to be outside. She always seems like, you know, like she's, like, on her TV show again, like, when people run into her outside. Like, she just loves the attention. She loves when people stop and talk to her. I saw something like a few. I think a few weeks ago or something like that. It was one of the young influencers or whatever he was. He caught her outside and he was like, what do you have on? And she, like, you know, she was. She loved that attention, and she loves. It was. It was genuine energy. He didn't try to do no clown. Ish to get clickbait, you know, likes and stuff like that. He literally loved talking to her, and he just expressed how beautiful she looked and everything.
DJ Envy
Yeah, I thought that was dope.
Nyla Simone
She liked that.
Jess Hilarious
Yes. That was a long way to say happy birthday, Wendy, because people want to.
DJ Envy
Know where Wendy is and what she doing.
Chico Bean
That's.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's my point. We just haven't heard from her in so long. She would call every week, and then all of a sudden it just stopped.
DJ Envy
Yep.
Nyla Simone
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Well, if there's any updates, you know, we're closing out for the day. I will be heading on over to the podcast, the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. So make sure you guys check in and. Yeah. Happy birthday, Wendy Williams.
Nyla Simone
Happy birthday to Benzeno and Vin Diesel, too.
Jess Hilarious
Word.
Nyla Simone
You know, y' all leaving off these men.
DJ Envy
Why you say words?
Jess Hilarious
Happy born day to Vintis and no allows.
Nyla Simone
You know, the Olympic champion. USA Olympic champion. No Allow. So happy birthday.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why is that so crazy? All right, that is the latest with Lauren, Charlotte. Man, who you giving your donkey to, man?
Jess Hilarious
Well, you know, on Fridays we usually do the people's donkey, but today I gotta talk about something. So I need Paramount and CBS to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with them, please.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, we'll get to that.
Chico Bean
Next.
Charlamagne Tha God
Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Carlos Miller
Your mornings will never be the same.
Jess Hilarious
One with the donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. A bunch of donkeys around here with the he. Yes, you are a donkey.
Carlos Miller
What the hell? What the hell is.
Jess Hilarious
Some donkey today just saw himself. Charlamagne.
Carlos Miller
Give it to him. Breakfast Club all day. Give it to us.
Chico Bean
Oh, man.
Carlos Miller
Charlemagne, who you giving donkey to do today?
Jess Hilarious
You know, Fridays are usually the people's donkey, but I need to talk to y' all about something this morning. Donkey of the day for Friday, July 18th goes to Paramount and CBS as a staff TV network and mother effing crew. Now let the record show I have made. I've had a lot of success, okay, with Paramount over the years. I've been rocking with them since 2013, 2014, when they was Biocom. Okay? From guy code to all my late night talk shows, Charlamagne and Friends, Uncommon Sense, Helluva week, God's honest truth, whatever it was called, they have all been with Viacom and Paramount. Okay? I make a lot of appearances on the Daily Show. In fact, I'll be on next week. All right, That's Paramount. So yes, they have provided me a lot of opportunity and still do. But Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. Not to mention right is right and wrong is wrong. And what I witnessed yesterday is absolutely wrong. Now, if you haven't heard, my guy, South Carolina brethren, Stephen Colbert informed his audience that CBS has canceled the Late Show. Okay, they canceled the Late Show. And this comes three days after him criticizing the network work over their settlement, their $16 million settlement with Donald Trump. But yes, starting In May of 2026, the Late show will be canceled. Let's go to NBC News for the report, please.
Charlamagne Tha God
Some breaking news here in the entertainment world.
Jess Hilarious
The Late show with Stephen Colbert ending next year with CBS retiring the late night franchise, Colbert taking to social media to announce it. Here it is.
I
I want to let you know something that I found out just last night. Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending the Late show in in May.
Jess Hilarious
CBS said the decision was purely financial, quote, against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount. It's worth noting Colbert has been critical of CBS's parent company Paramount's decision to settle a lawsuit with President Trump. The show topped the ratings for the 11:30 slot. Stephen Colbert has hosted the Late show for nine years now. Purely a financial decision, huh? Daniel? Paramount lying about why you got rid of Colbert sounds like people in the Trump administration lying about why they wouldn't release the Epstein files. Okay, Just complete foolishness and nonsense. Now, the announcement of the Late Show's cancellation, as I said, follows Colbert's criticism of a settlement between President Donald Trump and Paramount Global, which is CBS's parent company. Okay, Paramount paid Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit over edits to an October 2024 interview that said CBS's 60 Minutes did with Kamala Harris. Okay, Colbert, just like Jon Stewart, has rightfully criticized this move. He called this settlement a big fat bribe. Let's listen to him addressing on the Colbert show from a few days ago.
I
My parent corporation Paramount paid Donald Trump a $16 million settlement over his 60 Minutes lawsuit. As someone who has always been a proud employee of this network, I am offended and I don't know if anything will ever repair my trust in the this company. But just taking a stab at it, I'd say $16 million would help. This settlement is for a nuisance lawsuit Trump filed claiming that 60 Minutes deceptively edited their interview with then candidate Kamala Harris last fall. Paramount knows they could have easily fought it because in their own words, the lawsuit was completely without merit. Unlike the payoffs from ABC and Twitter, Paramount settlement did not include an apology.
Jess Hilarious
Instead.
I
That's good. Instead, the corporation released a statement where they said, you may take our money, but you will never take our dignity. You may, however, purchase our dignity for the low, low price of $16 million. We need the cash now. I believe this kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles. It's big fat bribe. Because this all comes as Paramount's owners are trying to get the Trump administration to approve the sale of our network to a new owner. Skydance and some of the TV typers out there are blogging that once Skydance gets cbs, the new owner's desire to please Trump could put pressure on late night host and frequent Trump critic Stephen Colbert. Okay, okay, but how are they going to put pressure on Stephen Colbert if they can't find Him.
Jess Hilarious
It's so obvious that Paramount is doing this to appease Donald Trump. Let's not do this stupid thing we do in the media. Media where we ask answers, okay? Don't say things like, was this politically driven by Donald Trump? Come on. Of course it was. Paramount needs to appease Trump so this merger with Skydance and Paramount can happen. Paramount paid Trump $16 million for essentially no reason. Okay? The FCC launched an investigation into CBS after Trump's claims. Claims of bias editing, even though CBS released full transcripts to prove accuracy. And most folks who know a thing or two about legal issues said that the lawsuit bought by Donald Trump against Paramount should have been dismissed on First Amendment grounds. But let's call it what it is. Paramount is looking for FCC approval for its Sky Dance merger. Trump can block that if he wants to. So canceling Colbert is an obvious move to appease Donald Trump. And I need to tell y' all something. If you don't think we are under a regime with an authoritarian strategy, then you are bugging. This is textbook authoritarian rule. Target your critic, centralize powers, a few hands, intimidate through punishment or removal. And you know what that usually does? Shuts people the F up. Okay? Titans control over public discourse sends a message to all media outlets that criticism of Trump could cost you access, approval, editorial control, all your job. This is what authoritarian regimes do. They weaponize legal systems to punish dissent and control messaging. What happened with Paramount and Trump is intimidation tactics disguised as legitimate legal action. I thought this was the administration that didn't believe in censorship. I thought this was the administration that believed in free speech. They do. Until you criticize them. Paramount and CBS should be ashamed of themselves. And you can't trust anything you see on Paramount. Cbs moving forward. Did y' all even think about how this will impact any of your news programming? We, the people already don't trust most news outlets in America, which is why the podcast and online business is booming. Because people with no corporate connections, no corporate interest are able to speak freely even though they may be really misinformed. But that's where people are going, and that's who people are trusting. Because even though it might be misinformation, it feels more honest. Okay? We can't trust any news or opinion programming that comes from Paramount now. They are obviously compromised. Well, let me take that back. One program. You can still trust the Daily show, but after seeing what happened with Colbert, how do we know the same thing won't happen to the great John Stewart and the gang at the Daily Show? Do you think Jon Stewart, who should run for President in 2028, do you think he's going to stop criticizing Paramount for settling with Trump? Huh? Do you think he's going to have nothing to say about his friend Stephen Colbert being let go? What are you going to do, Paramount? Are you going to bend the knee to authoritarian strategy again and suppress another outspoken critic of Trump? I know, I know. Paramount has an $8 billion merger with Sky Dance looming, and y' all don't want Trumpet to stop it. But it's.
DJ Envy
But.
Jess Hilarious
But it. But is it worth. Okay, is it worth losing all credibility and all trust with your audience in the process? The answer to that should be no. I just want y' all to know when the highest rated show in late night is ended despite strong ratings, especially right after political criticism, it becomes a warning, okay? It becomes a warning. Speak out and we will silence you. That is textbook authoritarian strategy, okay? Because it deters further criticism through the fear of retaliation. Retaliation, okay? Make America North Korea. Make America China. Make America Russia. That's where we are. If we live in a country where there is strategic silence within corporate or media power structures to limit dissent, okay? When that happens, it's already happened. We are fully under authoritarian rule, okay? This is not just a media story. It's a free speech funeral in slow motion. Paramount cut a $16 million check to Donald Trump so they can get their merger approved and keep the FCC off their backs. That's not business. That's extortion. Dressed up in a suit and tie, that's hush money for the truth. Stephen Colbert gets his show canceled after calling out the deal. That's not coincidence, that's consequence. That's what happens when you speak truth to power in a country where the power don't want to hear the truth. Please let Remy Ma give CBS Paramount the biggest. Hee.
Nyla Simone
Haw he haw he haw.
Jess Hilarious
You stupid.
DJ Envy
Are you dumb?
Jess Hilarious
No. I'm supposed to be on the Daily show next week. If that changes, I'll let y' all know.

I called my ex Weeks cheating when me and my cousin and a couple friends, we decided to do some childhood things and go laser tagging. And by the time I bend the corner, you know, in the dark room with the glowing lights, I see her and the co worker. And what's crazy is I'm the one that got her the job. Damn.

By the time the lights came on, I seen them through hugged up. God damn. Wow. Did you feel like going to get your real pistol and doing some goddamn other type attacking? Hey, in my head.
Carlos Miller
In my head, that lazy was the 223.
Jess Hilarious
Well, thank God you didn't resist resort to that, brother.
Nyla Simone

Jess Hilarious
So did, man. I'm glad.
Nyla Simone
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, brother. Damn. Let's go to another caller.
J
Hello?
Jess Hilarious
Who's this? It's Ali. What up? Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's up, brother?
Nyla Simone
Good morning.
Jess Hilarious
Yo, I was calling to tell y' all my cheating experience. So I got caught at jam. Yo, I'm out with my side piece. He was having a good ass time. Yo, I looked at my right, I see my wife and my baby sitting over there. She caught me. Your wife?
Charlamagne Tha God
You know your wife was going to the concert?
Jess Hilarious
No, she knew I was gonna be at the concert, and she pulled up, like, straight away. Oh.
Nyla Simone
Because she already knew what type of guy she had. She already knew what her husband was doing.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, she sure did.
Nyla Simone
Period. So that wasn't the first time. That wasn't the first time. That was just the craziest place that your ass got caught.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, that was the craziest place. She called me dirty. She violated and she. And she got a weapon into the spot. Don't ask me how she got a break out there. Trying to cut you Puerto Rican. For real? She Puerto Rican? Nah, she mixed with white, black, but black one mixed with a little white polish. Did you.
Nyla Simone
Y' all still together?
Jess Hilarious
Nah, we not still together.
Nyla Simone
Huh. Because now you can cheat in Peace. Now you good.
Jess Hilarious
Listen, she even left me with cuts.
Carlos Miller
Of the other kids.
Jess Hilarious
So.
Nyla Simone
Yeah, she said, take these black kids.
Jess Hilarious
I got one more for you. I hope I don't get fired for this. Shout out to the New York City department. But my boss, he just got suspended. He got caught cheating on his day off with his supervisor.
Carlos Miller
Side piece.
Nyla Simone
Damn.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn.
Jess Hilarious
Suspension. Now listen, have you learned anything from all of this? Brother, I hope so. Listen, I don't cheat. Black men don't cheat. Not no more. There you go. There you go. Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's the moral of the story? I think he said it, though. But what's the moral of the story?
Nyla Simone
Don't cheat.
Jess Hilarious
That's right. Man. All jokes aside, you know there's nothing to be gained by cheating if you make those vows to a person. Respect those vows. I'm telling you this from a place of experience. I have made that mistake before. And nothing good comes from hurting the person you love. But everything good comes from doing right by the person you love. I saw that video with that Coldplay dude yesterday, and I just thought it was so corny. And I just thought about all the anxiety and you know, the, the. The. The fear that. That already exist in just the. The world. Right? Everyday life. But when you add on things, you know, you ain't got no business doing like cheating in that way. I just looked at him like, boy, boy, I don't miss none of that. Cortisol levels rising for no goddamn reason.
Nyla Simone
Crazy.
Jess Hilarious
You want to be in a Coldplay concert, hugged up with your side boo.
Charlamagne Tha God
But the craziest thing is you, You. You would think he would be like a young individual, but he was like 60 something. He should have learned a long time ago.
Jess Hilarious
He don't know, but he don't even realize we in the digital age that everybody. Everything is recorded. He tried to disappear.
Nyla Simone
He really did. We can see you how it was. So comfortable.
Jess Hilarious
Damn.
Charlamagne Tha God

Gotta Chill out, right?
J
Yeah. That was crazy.
Jess Hilarious
This is a game changing birthday. This is a milestone. You'll be 30 soon.
Nyla Simone
Why are you putting it out there?
J
I told you, some places online still think I'm 22.
Jess Hilarious
As much as we've clowned and laughed, you can get away with that.
J
I didn't lie about it. I'm just saying I'm not going to tell you.
Nyla Simone
Just not putting it out there. Like lying and withholding information is two different things.
J
Yes, exactly. Which by the way, I was telling somebody yesterday that I was turning 30 and they're like, oh my God, there's no way. I thought you were turning like 23.
Nyla Simone
I was like, oh my gosh.
Jess Hilarious
Thank you.
J
Yes, I need to hear that. I'm excited about that. I'm also excited I'm going to Texas this week, weekend for a Nerd Con convention in Dallas. So it's like a lot of like the geeks and gamers who make music, they have like a convention. So I'm going out there. Yeah, this is my first time going, so I'm just excited to tap into different worlds.
Jess Hilarious
But what we got today, what you putting us on this morning in the past talks.
J
Okay, we're gonna go to New Orleans. There's a young rapper named Larisi who's been going crazy. He has co signs from Kendrick and a bunch of other people. I remember Tez actually told me about him. Cortez Bryant told me about him about a year ago. But he has a freestyle that's been really going viral right now called Hungry Flow.
Jess Hilarious
See, the only thing I don't like about Pastor O, it be dope ass rappers like that that exist. And you don't tell me why I gotta hear it till here. You need to send me that stuff. I gotta hear it here and you know, I'mma forget.
J
Okay, okay, that's on me.
Jess Hilarious
I got you. He dope.
Nyla Simone
He was just triggered just now.
J
I did tell you about him.
Jess Hilarious
No, because I like to go listen to a person, whole project, listen to the whole song. But I'm listening to, it's like, damn.
Nyla Simone
Yeah, he's been.
Jess Hilarious
And he sound broke. I like hearing, when I'm hearing somebody.
Nyla Simone
Voice, I'm not gonna say he sounds broke.
Jess Hilarious
I'm gonna say I like these rappers that be acting like they got it all together. Like where the struggle at? Like, I can hear the frustration in his voice.
J
Why you can't relate to that.
Jess Hilarious
You can't. Yeah. When you've been there, you don't never forget it. I've been there. Okay.
J
I'm a fan. Shout out to Lareezy. I'll definitely make sure I send you the full price.
Nyla Simone
That was definitely dope, Lareezy.
J
Next we're gonna go to Odile. You know, Odile signed with lvrs, but he's a UK based rapper. I think I've. I definitely talked about him before and I. People were killing me in the comments because I said he sounds like Brent Fais if he was Afrobeats, which I'm still standing on because he definitely does. But he just dropped a new tape for the summertime. And my favorite record on there is featuring Leon Thomas called Miami.
Nyla Simone
Yeah, I like that. He does give me that Brent Fyz type of vibe.
J
Thank you.
Nyla Simone
I love that.
J
Yeah, it's not a bad thing, like.
Nyla Simone
And of course, Leon always go crazy.
Jess Hilarious
So it sounds like he got an AI girlfriend, though, when he said this don't have to be the real thing to feel like it's like, nah, bro. That pocket feel like the real thing, first of all. Huh?
J
Yo, an AI girlfriend is crazy. That's what you took away from that line. Bad people do that every day with real people all the time.
Jess Hilarious
Okay.
J
Yes, I know you're happily married, but yes, you know, there's a world going on out here.
Nyla Simone
Such a clown, yo.
J

Chico Bean

Jess Hilarious
I can feel the ancestors in that. Okay. Make me feel like I'm in a club with a tank top on. Just musty for no reason.
Nyla Simone
Oh, my God. Wait, who wants to do that? Why is that a killer Whoopi?
Charlamagne Tha God
Musty for no reason.
Jess Hilarious
It's not intentional. Jesus. I'm going to the club Musty today. If you walk in the club knowing you musty, you a different type of person.

Podcast Summary: The Breakfast Club – Episode: FULL SHOW: CEO Affair Caught on Kiss Cam at Coldplay Show, Denise Richards Gets Restraining Order + 85 South Show Interview
Release Date: July 18, 2025
Host: The Breakfast Club with DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, and Charlamagne Tha God
Description: The Breakfast Club is renowned as the world's most dangerous morning show, delving into pressing issues with candid discussions and insightful commentary.
Charlamagne Tha God and Jess Hilarious kicked off the episode by highlighting their active involvement in the Hampton, Virginia area (757). Charlamagne expressed immense gratitude for the community's support during their upcoming car show:
"Salute to Everybody in the 757, which is Hampton, Virginia. I'm out. I'm down here for my car show... we opened up one in Orangeburg, we opened up one in Walterboro..." [01:05]
Jess Hilarious emphasized the importance of creating spaces for joy within the black and brown communities, praising the initiative despite being Dominican:
"Anytime you can create an atmosphere for black joy to be experienced, I'm all for it... We gotta create our own pockets and spaces of joy when we can find them." [02:29]
The duo announced their car show scheduled for Saturday, promising family-friendly activities, food trucks, and entertainment:
"Kids five and under are free. There's rides, there's games, there's cars, there's food trucks, there's bars for the adults. We're gonna have a lot of fun." [02:29]
They also introduced the 85 South Show, a comedy group launching their "Spin the Block Comedy Tour," bringing fresh comedic perspectives to the audience.
Morgan, the front-page news host, addressed concerns regarding President Trump's health following reports of leg swelling:
"Despite that, there are reports that the President was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition where veins in your legs have trouble sending blood back to your heart because it's pooling in the legs." [06:22]
The discussion shifted to Trump's legal battles, specifically his lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and Rupert Murdoch over a letter to Jeffrey Epstein. Charlamagne Tha God and Jess Hilarious drew parallels between CBS's cancellation of Stephen Colbert's "The Late Show" and authoritarian tactics used to suppress criticism:
"That's textbook authoritarian strategy. Target your critic, centralize power in a few hands, intimidate through punishment or removal." [10:19]
Jess Hilarious passionately critiqued Paramount and CBS, asserting that the cancellation was a move to appease Trump and suppress dissent:
"Paramount is looking for FCC approval for its Skydance merger. Trump can block that if he wants to. Canceling Colbert is an obvious move to appease Donald Trump." [22:10]
The hosts discussed the implications of such actions on free speech and media integrity, framing them as signs of an authoritarian regime:
"When you live in a country where there is strategic silence within corporate or media power structures to limit dissent, that's already happening. We are fully under authoritarian rule." [22:26]
Another significant news segment covered the House's decision to pass a $9 billion spending cuts package targeting public broadcasting, global health programs, and foreign aid:
"House is voting to pass a package of $9 billion in spending cuts. Lawmakers voted 216 to 213 to approve the cuts... The bill can now head to President Trump's desk for his signature." [30:55]
Jess Hilarious voiced concerns about the impact of these cuts on essential services, emphasizing personal involvement with the Food Bank in New York City:
"I'm an ambassador for the Food bank in New York City... these programs help feed people who need it." [31:20]
A viral moment from a Coldplay concert involving the CEO of Astronomer and his HR representative sparked widespread attention. The couple, both married to others, were caught on the Kiss Cam, leading to speculations about an affair. Charlamagne Tha God and Jess Hilarious dissected the situation, highlighting the repercussions of such public incidents:
"They were hugged up in the video. Their reaction made the video go viral." [26:21]
The hosts debated the authenticity of subsequent claims about the couple's marital status, with discussions on the potential use of AI to fabricate statements:
"With everything, you never know what's real, what's fake. So they could both say that was AI." [27:31]
In another news segment, the podcast covered reality star Denise Richards obtaining a temporary restraining order against her husband, citing domestic violence. DJ Envy provided a detailed recount of Richards' allegations, including physical abuse and her husband's denial of these claims:
"She alleges Aaron would frequently violently choke her... aggressively slam her head into bathroom towel racks." [66:12]
The hosts expressed empathy towards Richards while scrutinizing the husband's denials, underscoring the complexity of domestic abuse cases in the public eye.
The 85 South Show members—Carlos Miller (Chico Bean), Chico Bean, and D.C. Young Fly—joined the podcast to discuss their upcoming "Spin the Block Comedy Tour." The guests emphasized the importance of camaraderie, mutual support, and maintaining authenticity in their performances:
"We have a dope bond... It's literally family." [47:23]
They delved into their creative process, highlighting how constant touring exposes them to diverse cultures and perspectives, enriching their comedic material:
"Because you're always on the road, you see different perspectives... it goes into your stage show." [41:51]
The podcast spotlighted Maryland Senator Angela Brooks and her collaboration on the Uterine Fibroid Intervention and Gynecological Health Treatment Act (YOU FIGHT). This legislation aims to enhance research and treatment for fibroids, particularly affecting African American women:
"80% of African American women suffer from uterine fibroids... Increasing the amount of research and funding is essential." [34:09]
Nyla Simone shared personal experiences with severe menstrual symptoms, advocating for greater awareness and medical consultation:
"After having my daughter, my menstruals are way worse... we all need to be aware." [35:03]
The hosts discussed the Justice Department's decision to seek a one-day prison sentence for former police officer Brett Hankinson in the death of Breonna Taylor. They criticized the minimal sentencing, highlighting ongoing controversies surrounding police accountability:
"A one-day sentence is essentially time served. This is sparking controversy." [32:10]
Throughout the episode, the hosts and guests engaged in humorous yet insightful conversations about men's health, particularly emphasizing the importance of regular check-ups to prevent serious conditions like high blood pressure and prostate cancer. They shared personal anecdotes and encouraged listeners to prioritize their health:
"Sugar is the worst drug in the world... You gotta get your blood pressure checked." [42:19]
As the episode neared its end, Charlamagne Tha God and Jess Hilarious made several announcements:
The hosts wrapped up with a positive note, quoting Lou Holtz on the value of discretion regarding personal problems:
"Never tell your problems to anybody because 20% of the people don't care, and the other 80% are glad you have them." [104:43]
They encouraged listeners to stay connected, participate in upcoming events, and continue supporting community-driven initiatives.
Notable Quotes:
Charlamagne Tha God on community support:
"Salute to Everybody in the 757... We appreciate you guys." [01:05]
Jess Hilarious on black joy:
"Anytime you can create an atmosphere for black joy to be experienced, I'm all for it." [02:29]
Jess Hilarious on media integrity:
"Paramount and CBS should be ashamed of themselves. You can't trust anything you see on Paramount." [22:32]
Carlos Miller (Chico Bean) on ownership:
"When you own it, it gives you a level of freedom... you don't have to worry about certain types of things happening in your negotiations." [52:26]
Lauren LaRosa on Denise Richards' case:
"She alleges Aaron would frequently violently choke her... aggressively slam her head into bathroom towel racks." [66:12]
Jess Hilarious on loyalty and respect:
"You want to be in a Coldplay concert, hugged up with your side boo. I just thought it was so corny." [93:30]
