I want to start this early, get it out the way, so I don't have nothing to worry about. I got nothing to deal with.

DJ Envy
Yeah. Yesterday I had to. I had to drive to Queens, which is about. Usually about an hour away from. From where I live in Jersey, 50 minutes. But yesterday, because of the traffic, it was three hours long. And I was like, y' all want to ride with dad? They were like, yeah. And they rolled with me all the way to Queens to grandpa's house, because Grandpa still has an aol. Did you know AOL still exists, Like, AOL accounts?
- [04:55]
Jessica Hilarious
No. I did, yeah.
- [04:55]
DJ Envy
My father had an AOL account still and was trying to figure out why it wasn't working. I was like, I don't think AOL even exists anymore, dad. He was like, I'm not getting none of my emails anymore. I'm like, I don't think AOL works. So I had to get him from AOL to Gmail because he was. He was confused. Like, confused. And then they make him change the passwords every other day, so he didn't know the password. So then we had to go forget passwords nine times.
- [05:16]

Lil Rel
So we'll.
- [06:09]
DJ Envy
We'll talk to all them when we come back. So don't Go anywhere. We have front page news. This is day 1000 of the shutdown. Mimi will be giving us all the breakdowns. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news now. On Thursday Night Football, the Broncos beat the Raiders 10 to 7. Now, the Broncos record is 8 and 2. Raiders record is 2 and 7. What's up, Mimi?
- [06:36]
Mimi Brown
Good morning, N.B. jess. How y' all doing this morning?
- [06:38]
Lil Rel
Hey, girl.
- [06:39]
Jacqueline Carr
Good morning.
- [06:39]
Mimi Brown
Good, good, good. All right. So we start this morning with a major development in the nation' crisis. A federal judge is forcing the Trump administration to get rid. Excuse me, to food, to give food aid following that national stoppage of the SNAP benefit. So that stoppage, it held withheld SNAP benefits from 42 million Americans, including 16 million children. They were left in limbo by that shutdown. And the judge said families have gone without for too long and failing to act any longer would cause irreparable harm. Now, the Trump administration had initially planned to only send partial payments this month, saying the program had run out of funds. But the judge, he rejected that plan, ordering the administration to fully fund November benefits by today. Now, even if that means tapping into billions from other nutritional programs, the Trump administration says it will appeal that decision, but for now, the order stands, meaning states are rushing to get those funds out, but it could take weeks and in some cases months before those benefits are restored. Now, it's a major victory for families who need that assistance and a coalition of cities and nonprofits who sue to keep this program alive. But the Trump administration, they are not happy about being forced to pay those benefits. When asked about it, both President Trump and J.D. vance, they are weighing in. Let's listen to what they have to say.
- [07:59]
DJ Envy
It's an absurd ruling because you have.
- [08:02]
Charlamagne Tha God
A federal judge effectively telling us what.
- [08:04]
DJ Envy
We have to do in the midst of a Democrat government shutdown, which what we'd like to do is for the.
- [08:09]
Charlamagne Tha God
Democrats to open up the government. Of course, then we can fund snap, and we can also do a lot.
- [08:13]
DJ Envy
Of other good things for the American people. And, you know, one other thing, our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars, could be anything.
- [08:22]
Lil Rel
We can't give everything away. Biden went totally crazy. Gave it to anybody that would ask, gave it to people that were able bodied, had no problem. This wasn't meant for that. It was meant for people that had real problems. In many cases, people that were down and out People that could be saved. It wasn't meant for people that could.
- [08:41]
DJ Envy
Do whatever they want.
- [08:42]
Lil Rel
The people that say, well, I don't think I'll work, I'll just, you know, collect this money.
- [08:46]
DJ Envy
I want, I want people to really think about that. Right? Like, really think about it. The President and Vice President is saying it's absurd that a judge is saying to restore full, full benefits for millions of people that need it. So for people that voted for Trump and people that voted for J.D. vance and what they stood on, just really, really think about it. They're saying it's absurd. They're saying it's crazy. They're saying, how dare they pass an order that says, here's the snap benefits to allow people to get food. That is insane.
- [09:17]
Jessica Hilarious
And then keep throwing. Hey, yo. Then keep. Every now and then they keep throwing Biden in there, but it's like, yo, I mean, every time, keep throwing Biden. But now this administration is under you. This administration, yo, just lift it. You know, you still, you still like keeping people from being able to eat. Payday bills, get paid for working, all of that. That's crazy. Like, my mother, she, she runs a child care preschool and a lot of her parents gotta give, they pay her with vouchers.
- [09:47]
DJ Envy
Right.
- [09:47]
Jessica Hilarious
They've been cut off. Like, they've been, you know, it's not just snap. It goes far beyond not being able to put food on the table.
- [09:53]
DJ Envy
But just, just. Mimi, they said it's absurd that a judge is allowing people to get food and money to help pay their bills. Yeah, like, that is crazy. And they keep saying, they keep playing a political, political game in people's lives or the Democratic shutdown. No, people just want to eat. Yeah, they just want their food.
- [10:10]
Mimi Brown
Yeah, absolutely. And then even in that sound by Trump going a little further by just insulting people who actually need it by saying, you know, able bodied people, they can work. You know, we've all seen the long lines, we've seen the food banks, we've seen all of that. And so it's.
- [10:25]
Jessica Hilarious
You're right, people with jobs receive SNAP too. It's like, like, yo, you know, you know that everybody who receives SNAP does not sit home on their ass like, chilling. Like, people work, people run businesses, people got kids to feed. And that, that little bit of money that does help on snap, that's just an addition. Like, that's an addition. People still gotta live.
- [10:49]
Mimi Brown
They still gotta live. And prices are going up everywhere. But meanwhile, there is a little glimmer of hope. There's a little movement On Capitol Hill today, Senate Majority Leader John Thune. He is expected to hold a vote, which would be the 15th vote to try and reopen the government. Now this one will look just a little bit different. This version would amend that short term funding bill that's been already passed by the House into what we're calling a minibus spending package. Now that's covering health care, transportation and housing. And it would extend the funding until January instead of November 21st. Also on the table, a possible Senate vote on the Affordable Care act subsidies, which are set to expire soon. That's been the major sticking point in the shove the shutdown fight. But here's the catch. Republicans can't guarantee that that vote will actually happen. They're asking Democrats to vote yes to reopen the government on the promise that they'll maybe get a vote later on those ACA subsidies. Republicans say this will test whether Democrats are serious about ending the shutdown. But Democrats, meanwhile, say they are united but not necessarily ready to support a deal that doesn't fully protect those health care subsidies. So we'll continue to watch what happens with that today. And coming up in the next hour at 7, we'll break down all that chaos that's happening at the airport. We'll tell you what's behind the slowdowns, what it means for your flight and how to get your money back. If you rather just skip all the chaos, all right.
- [12:08]
DJ Envy
And everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. I just want to say one last thing before we go. You know, it's partly, I would say, the press and the movies fault, right? Because growing up as a kid, you would think that if somebody was on EBT or somebody was on welfare or if somebody was on, it was because they were broke, they didn't want to work, they were lazy. And people have been running with that for a long time. But it's more than just that, right? It's people that just can't afford it. They might be in a dire situation where they lost their job. They might have lost a family member. They might have a bunch of kids where they need some help. There's a lot more into it than just, oh, they're just broken lazy. No, there's a lot more into that than that. But get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Call us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is Your time to get it.

You scored your first touchdown, and then.
- [14:49]
It ends like this.
- [14:51]
DJ Envy
Yeah. You know, the sad thing is you never know what somebody's going through. You never know what's happening with somebody's life. Right. Because anybody else would have been like, oh, it's an amazing time. You know, I scored my first touchdown. Things are going great, but you don't know, you know, what he was battling, what he was dealing with. I heard he had his. Some of his mother's ashes on a chain around, around his neck. And that was the same day I think his mother passed or something like that.
- [15:13]

DJ Envy
We love you too, Tashika.
- [15:37]
Jessica Hilarious
Absolutely.
- [15:38]
Caller/Listener
I want to get off my chest, the president and vice president thinks that all the Americans, you know, just sit around and wait for snap. Just recently, two years ago, I went from working two or three jobs to no job because I was diagnosed with kidney failure and I had to get on dialysis. And I couldn't work, you know, every day because I had treatment. Well, I have treatment three days a week for four hours. So I still have to take care of my 12 year old. And getting a disability check does not already cover all my bills. So that SNAP helped with our food. And now I didn't paid all my bills for the month and I didn't have enough for groceries. So I have to find food bank either in Sumter or I have to go to Columbia. And I haven't had luck yet. So it's just, you know, horrible that they think everybody just sit around on their ass and wait for snap.
- [16:50]
Jessica Hilarious
That's true. Yes, ma'. Am.
- [16:51]
DJ Envy
Well, Tashika, if you, if you go to Charlamagne's page, see the God, he does a lot for the. The food banks in the Carolinas, so he could guide you to what you could actually go to. And we would talk behind the scenes, me, Mimi and Jess, we would talk about the sad thing about, you know, welfare and ebt. We were raised to think that it was a hood thing, that it was a black thing, that it was a ghetto thing. And the matter is it's not at all. Yeah. I mean, not at all white people.
- [17:19]
Caller/Listener
I realized that when I had to get on it.
- [17:22]
DJ Envy
Yeah, there's more white people on it than anything else. And it's a tool to help people. Like you said, you were working, you had two, three jobs. You lost your job and needed some help. Because you had treatment like that doesn't mean you're lazy and and that's how I think you look at it. So I want to tell everybody out there, if you do need help, definitely check your local food bank. See what. What you can do and what communities they have out there for people. I know a lot of people are supplying foods. I know for Thanksgiving, they're supplying food, so definitely check it. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, Mama.
- [17:52]
Caller/Listener
Thank you. Love y'.
- [17:53]
All.

To the SZA and Nicki Minaj conversation. SZA just did a sit down with gq. I did want to take a moment to send an rip to Marshawn Neyland, who was a Dallas Cowboys defensive end who passed away. It was announced by the team yesterday that he passed away at age 24. So the team released a statement. They say it is with extreme sadness that the Dallas Cowboys share that Marshawn Nealand tragically passed away this morning. Now TMZ is reporting exclusively. Exclusively following some dispatch audio that they received from a 911 call that Marshawn died after an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound while going through a mental health episode. So according to the report and According to the 911 audio, he had been texting his girlfriend some disturbing messages. So she got on the phone with police. She was also trying to get in contact with his agent. She let police know that his girlfriend right away that, you know, he suffers with mental health issues and that he was armed. And she said to police, you know, he'll, he'll end it all like she was trying to get help to him. He also had group text his family, according to this 911 call, and said goodbye. So, you know, just a very sad situation altogether.
- [29:42]
DJ Envy
And nobody, they don't know why, what got him to that point?
- [29:45]
Lauren LaRose
Well, before, no, they don't know why what got him to this point that no reports that I see. But before all of this, he, they were, police in the area were trying to pull him over for a traffic stop and he fled from police. The police then found his car, he wasn't in the car. And then they found his body later at a Porter potty. But we don't know, you know, what may have, you know.
- [30:04]
Caller/Listener
Right.
- [30:04]
Lauren LaRose
And with mental health, you know, thing is, it's just so sensitive, you don't know. But yeah, the team, the NFL, the NFL and the team were also calling police. You hear that on the dispatch audio as well. Them trying to also get him help as well too. So, you know, just a sad situation. So I just wanted to take some time to send an RIP to him and some comfort, you know, to his family.
- [30:23]
DJ Envy
Condolences to his family.
- [30:24]
Jessica Hilarious
Yes, some help. Like I know we talk about, I know Char is a big advocate for mental health, but like it needs to be, you know, when they get drafted and things like that, is it like it needs to be like an evaluation, not, not like to keep them from playing, but get them therapy so, you know, they, they can always be okay. They're mental, you know, because a lot of men, a lot of young guys too, they don't talk about it like, I mean it's in the conversation now, but they don't talk about their feelings that they have behind closed doors and things like that because I, I, it could have been prevented had he gotten help, you know what I'm saying?
- [31:00]
Lauren LaRose
Well, I don't know exactly, I don't know exactly what help he was or wasn't getting. It does seem like everyone in his close circle knew and the team, because the team was also calling police and stuff like that. So I don't know exactly what they were doing, but it is. Yeah, like. Like you said, it's just when people are going through these things, they need. Yeah, it's so real. And you never know what people are going through, right?
- [31:19]
Jessica Hilarious
Never.
- [31:21]
Lauren LaRose
Well, shifting gears in other news. So we did a report sometime back. Nicki Minaj and Sza were going back and forth on X.
- [31:30]
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
- [31:30]
Jessica Hilarious
And Sza was like, what is happening? Because what I do.
- [31:33]
Lauren LaRose
She was very confused at the time. So, you know, I did the reporting and just updated people that I had spoken to. Punch from tde, who manages sza, and he had told me then that they did not know each other outside of an attempt to. To do a song together. That didn't work out. So Sza sat down with GQ and she's talking about, you know, topping charts, making new music tour with Kendrick, all these things. And they bring up that situation and she says, I don't. When asked about the Nicki Minaj back and forth, she says, I don't know her. We have no connection to each other. There's no backstory. Like, there was no through narrative, no through line narrative. It was just like Roc Nation. I don't know where it came from. That's not even a place to correct a narrative that I don't got nothing to do with. It was a little strange. It was very, like, why? But also, you know, whatever. I guess they also asked her too, because you remember when the whole Drake and Kendrick thing was at its height, Sza was in the middle, unfortunately, only because she is on tour with Kendrick, their tde. But she's notably. She knows Drake. They're close.
- [32:33]
DJ Envy
They've done one of the biggest records of the summer. Huge song.
- [32:35]
Lauren LaRose
Yeah.
- [32:36]
DJ Envy
And then she had the biggest record of something with Kendrick.
- [32:37]
Lauren LaRose
Exactly.
- [32:38]
Jessica Hilarious
Are they close, though? Can we say they're close?
- [32:40]
Lauren LaRose
They're friends. They're friends. I would assume she's closer to Kendra. So she talks about it. She says it was something between two grown men. So why would I insert myself between something between two grown men, you know? And I feel like that's how everybody felt, with the exception of some people who didn't feel that way. But I didn't really have any stake, per se. Obviously I love Kendrick. I'm signed to tde. That's my family. But obviously I've known Drake for so long and we have a beautiful rapport. And obviously it was always unfortunate when the unfortunate occurs. So she's trying to stay out of all the things and all of the beef.
- [33:13]
DJ Envy
It's too late now. She's in it. She's. She picked the side. The side she picked up is Kendrick.
- [33:16]
Jessica Hilarious
How?
- [33:16]
Lauren LaRose
Because she went on tour.
- [33:17]
Jessica Hilarious
Yo, cuz, she on tour.
- [33:19]
Lauren LaRose
So I mean, she.
- [33:19]
Jessica Hilarious
You wouldn't expect for me to be. You know, just because I'm friends with a. That got devoured in a battle. I can't further myself by going on tour with somebody that I'm signed with.
- [33:33]
DJ Envy
Jess, if somebody destroys me and crushes me and tries to take me out and talks about everything that I've. I've done and all this other stuff and really just tries to take my heart out of my soul. And then I see you pop up with them like y' all BFFs.
- [33:48]
Jessica Hilarious
But you got a business opportunity. I was able to perform it.
- [33:51]
Jacqueline Carr
I'm just able to envy you'd be.
- [33:54]
Lauren LaRose
Kendrick in this situation because you're just as. You would be more family to Jess than someone else. So I. She had no choice.
- [34:01]
DJ Envy
Do you know how many times I got into situations I shouldn't have got into because I was riding with the team?
- [34:07]
Lauren LaRose
They ran up on you.
- [34:09]
DJ Envy
Charlemagne too? Charlemagne too into. Yes, absolutely. Many a times. Many a co host up here I didn't roll with and I didn't got into their BS because of things that they said.
- [34:18]
Lauren LaRose
I think that's.
- [34:18]
DJ Envy
But I don't expect the same. I don't. It's just who I am as a person. If you issue my team, I'm riding with my team. Most people don't feel the same way and I don't expect them to because they're not born. They just. It's just. That's not in their cloth. But if somebody goes in my. Not just frivolous, it's just not small. If it's something big. Yeah, I ride and I'm usually the one that gets in trouble.
- [34:36]
Lauren LaRose
Well, you need to learn to park the car.
- [34:38]
Jessica Hilarious
Definitely not lying about that. That sometimes is loyal to a fault. Like sometimes dumb as hell.
- [34:44]
Lauren LaRose
Yeah.
- [34:45]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [34:45]
DJ Envy
And I can't stop it.
- [34:46]
Lauren LaRose
It's all right, you know, just being dumb and not knowing how to stop it and keep doing it over and over again. I think I would.
- [34:52]
Jessica Hilarious
I would not have passed up on the opportunities to further myself my career. You know, how many people are in front of now.
- [34:57]
DJ Envy
Listen, I love you, but look, I'm not.
- [35:01]
Jessica Hilarious
Man. I'm about to be on Super Bowl. You know what I'm saying?
- [35:03]
DJ Envy
Yeah.
- [35:04]
Lauren LaRose
You know, I mean, it's also too. She. If she got to choose side, she's going with tde. That's literally her side.
- [35:10]
DJ Envy
I'm not mad at him.
- [35:10]
Lauren LaRose
Yeah. And speaking of Nicki Minaj as we rap, I just wanted to give her a shout out. I know the Barbs love to say we hate Nicki Minaj, but I saw that she sent some efforts over to Jamaica. She had some people there.
- [35:20]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [35:21]
Lauren LaRose
So I wanted to give her a shout out for that girl. Hey, congratulations. I'm not congratulations, but thank you for what you're doing over there.
- [35:26]
DJ Envy
Bar.
- [35:26]
Jessica Hilarious
And also shout out this. Oh, my bad. Shout out to Spice.
- [35:29]
Lauren LaRose
Spice.
- [35:29]
Jessica Hilarious
I saw what Spice did too. Not trying to step on what Nikki did at all.
- [35:33]
Lauren LaRose
No, no.
- [35:34]
Jessica Hilarious
But the more, the better. The more artists come together, the better, you know, Spice showed up. Black trucks helping people. Love that out there over there with family, cleaning up, like, all of that type stuff.
- [35:43]
DJ Envy
Yeah, I seen Spice do it. Salute to spot. I've seen Vibes Cartel do it. I seen Beanie man do it.
- [35:48]
Lauren LaRose
Yeah.
- [35:49]
DJ Envy
I even seen Calla. I seen Khaled do it as well. So salute to anybody that's. That's helping.
- [35:52]
Lauren LaRose
And they're ongoing too, because I know Nicki Minaj said it's gonna happen today as well. And it's going to keep going until as people need stuff. So shout out to them.
- [35:58]
Jessica Hilarious
Sure.
- [35:59]
DJ Envy
And we're doing a concert. Well, I'm not doing, but I'm part of a concert that's gonna be a tribute concert. I'm sure they announce it in the next couple of weeks. It's gonna be in New York. It's gonna be a concert. And all the proceeds from that concert, which in the venue is going to be at the USB Arena. We'll go to families and Feeding Jamaica. So I'm gonna be a part of that too, so fire. All right, all right. When we come back, we got some front page news. And then the cast of Unexpected Christmas will be joining us. All right, Little Rel, Tabitha Brown, Reagan Gomez, and Anna Marie Horsford. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club Club. Let's get back to some front page news. Start off with some quick sports. The Broncos beat the Raiders last night, ten to seven. What's up, Mimi?
- [36:40]
Mimi Brown
What's up, Envy Jess? How y' all doing this morning?
- [36:42]
Caller/Listener
Good, girl.
- [36:43]
Mimi Brown
Good. Okay, so we start this hour with a travel warning for anyone flying today. You'll want to double check your flight before heading to the airport. Now starting this morning, airports across the country, they're rolling out the FAA's new flight reduction plan, which is part of the. Which is part of what officials are calling the proactive safety step. As a government shutdown drags into day 38, that means fewer planes in the sky and a lot more reshuffling for passengers. The FAA is cutting capacity at 40 of the nation's largest busiest airports. We're talking LAX, Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, Boston, and all three New York area hubs. Now, the slowdown, it will begin with a 4% cut today and ramp up, ramp up to about 10% next week. Now, officials say the move is meant to ease pressure on traffic controllers, many of whom who have not been paid since October 1st. That's when the shutdown began. And the president of the National Air Traffic Controllers association says it's not just about people skipping work. It's about survival. Let's listen to what he had to say.
- [37:45]
Charlamagne Tha God
They're calling in saying, I don't have.
- [37:47]
DJ Envy
Enough gas to get to work. To their employer, to their supervisor and manager, and saying, what do you want me to do? They're not calling in sick. They're not calling in protesting. They're calling with real life situations. These are real people dealing with real life circumstances. And when you don't pay somebody for 37 days and say, hey, just keep.
- [38:04]
Charlamagne Tha God
Showing up and do your best, people.
- [38:05]
DJ Envy
Are going to have issues. And they're mounting daily. Yeah, that is. That is so sad. I know a lot of people gave Charlemagne flack for saying, please, just open up the government now. But, I mean, we're getting to a point where, you know, people can't travel, people can't go to work, people can't eat, people can't pay their bills. And with the airlines, I mean, people are setting up. You know, they're set to travel home for Thanksgiving. Like, kids are coming home to see their families for Thanksgiving, the same thing for Christmas. So if they don't open this up, there's gonna be a lot of people stuck in airports, a lot of people stuck in destinations that don't want to.
- [38:35]
Jessica Hilarious
Be away from their family.
- [38:36]
DJ Envy
Away from their families. This is getting disgusting. And Jessica just ain't gonna be able to perform. Like, how you gonna do your comedy show, Jess?
- [38:43]
Jessica Hilarious
I know, right? That's what I was literally thinking about. I'm gonna have to drive from certain places, you know what I'm saying? Or just reschedule shows, because some places you just can't drive to. And because I do breakfast club Monday through Friday, and I know I can do it virtually on the road. But it's like, yo, if I gotta go to Ohio next weekend, I don't even. And I gotta fly into Detroit because a lot of the smaller airports really don't have flights. So I gotta fly into Detroit, drive almost two hours from Detroit to Toledo, Ohio. But it's like Detroit is one of the main airports that's having issues. So I would have to drive from New Jersey to Ohio. Don't know how long that's gonna be. That would probably be like, what, 11 hours. I would have to leave Thursday to get there. Like, it's messing up so much.

It is, it's, it's, it's messing with a lot of people and their livelihoods. What the, the guy we just heard from, the president of the union, he literally just said that. Also, there's a bunch of people, air traffic controllers who have been evicted. And so it's, it's really hard for them to just even show up to work. So yes, while we think they're calling in sick, they're dealing with real life situations. So. But also there's a little bit of a good news for travelers. The nation's biggest airlines, I'm talking American, Delta, United, they're now offering refunds to passengers who cancel in advance, even on those non refundable tickets. So they are saying, though the airport is saying still expect delays and cancellations. And of last night, about 1,000 flights had already been scrapped. And more ripple effects to come next week as we've been talking about. But here's what you can do to plan ahead. They're reminding people to check your airline's website or the app before leaving home. The schedules are changing by the hour. They're saying pack light. Maybe a carry on would be easier. So if you're rebooked, you can avoid losing your luggage. And if you can't miss a trip, like if there's a family emergency or a wedding or something like that, experts say if you can afford it, it might be worth buying a backup ticket just in case.
- [40:40]
DJ Envy
So if you can. A backup ticket, so buy two tickets.
- [40:43]
Mimi Brown
Like that's what they're saying.
- [40:44]
DJ Envy
People can barely afford one ticket. Like, that's crazy.
- [40:47]
Mimi Brown
I know, I know, I know, I know. But it's so unpredictable. They just don't know.
- [40:52]
Jessica Hilarious
And who's to say that backup ticket for another flight that ain't gonna be canceled or, you know, absolutely, it's a.
- [40:58]
Mimi Brown
Gamble either way you go. And a Washington D.C. man who tossed his Subway sandwich at a federal office officer doing a protest. You guys Remember this story? It happened earlier this summer in D.C. yeah.
- [41:09]
Jessica Hilarious
Because I asked you what kind of sandwich it was. Mimi, you ain't tell me.
- [41:12]
Mimi Brown
I'm about to. I don't know what kind of sandwich, but I do know it had extra mustard, and I'm about to tell you why. So he had been. He's been found not guilty. So prosecutors say Sean Dunn, he hurled a footlong at a Custom and Border protection agent during a tense moment at a protest. The officer, he testified that the sandwich explained, exploded on his chest and left a small. A strong smell of mustard behind. Now, the defense argued that a foot long with extra mustard doesn't exactly qualify as a weapon. And jurors, they weren't convinced. So they found him not guilty, especially after showing photos of the sandwich still tightly wrapped in that Subway paper. Now, outside the court, Dunn said he was relieved and thanked supporters for standing with him. Let's listen to that.
- [41:56]
Caller/Listener
I am so happy that justice prevails.
- [42:02]
DJ Envy
In spite of everything happening. And that night, I believe that I.
- [42:06]

Was protecting the rights of immigrants.
- [42:10]

To the people that opened their hearts.
- [42:12]

And homes to me, I am eternally grateful.
- [42:16]

Oh, my God. Shout out. I just want to take a moment to shout out our production team.
- [42:21]
DJ Envy
Shout out.
- [42:21]
Jessica Hilarious
Nick or Eli. I don't know who put the Subway sandwich up there while that audio was.
- [42:25]
DJ Envy
Playing, but y' all put us on sandwich up to a foot long.
- [42:29]
Jessica Hilarious
That's hilarious.
- [42:31]
Mimi Brown
This is such an unserious story, but it is a serious story because they were really trying to send this man to jail for.
- [42:37]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [42:39]
DJ Envy
So I don't think he should go to jail. Not at all. But I. I will add, I will say this. If he was found not guilty for throwing a Subway sandwich, what's to stop somebody else for throwing something else? You know what I mean?
- [42:48]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [42:49]
DJ Envy
Because. Yes, because, you know, it's. Yes, he was protecting immigrants, and yes, you want people to protect immigrants, but when people start. Just start throwing stuff at federal agents. Yeah, it's like, where does it get stopped? Because the federal agents ain't doing it on their own. Their bosses are telling them what.
- [43:02]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, they're meant to go out here.
- [43:04]
DJ Envy
And they're trying to make a check and not saying that it's right because I don't believe what they're doing is right by just, you know, grabbing immigrants and throwing them into facilities. But if one starts throwing sandwiches, what's next? What next is throwing dog ish. You know, I mean, like, yeah, we gotta find out.
- [43:17]
Mimi Brown
Well, that's what they were saying. Envy they were telling. Even though prosecutors say they respect the verdict, they want to remind people that anything throw, anything you throw at a federal officer can get you in trouble. So.
- [43:27]
Jessica Hilarious
Or it can get you shot if you the wrong anyone. You know what I'm saying? So you don't.
- [43:32]
DJ Envy
Yeah, it can. But you gotta realize these people are people too. Like, you throw something at me, if I'm coming to work, I might snap and just beat your ass.
- [43:39]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, for sure.
- [43:40]
DJ Envy
You know what I mean? But, you know, I understand why he did it and who he was trying to protect him, but we also gotta be careful with that, too.
- [43:46]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, absolutely.

And lastly, speaking of things getting out of hand, let's talk about group chats. It turns out that most of us are in way more group chats than we think and is taking a toll. So researchers at Oxford University, they teamed up with Vitaphone to study how we stay connected across text messages. WhatsApp, Instagram, DM, Facebook, those work chats. Like Slack and teams, apparently we have created a chat for just about everything in life. So there's a family group chat, the work chat, the one of your kids play dates, the old birthday group chat. But researchers, researchers say most of that, we only respond to about 5. Five of those group chats. The rest, they are muted, unread, and they're collecting things that we will never open. So experts say we join those to feel connected. But they are doing the opposite. Between the side combos, the content notification, the endless emojis, we are a little too connected. So they say to fix that, mute some of those, clear the ones that you never check. So delete those, set quiet hours for your phone, and do a little digital detox really quickly. How many group chats are y' all in?
- [44:50]
Jessica Hilarious
Oh, my God, countless. But not because I wanted to stay connected, because people put me in them and they shouldn't do that.
- [44:57]
DJ Envy
Yeah, I'm horrible with the group chat. I'm the one that's gonna put the wrong thing in the wrong group chat. I do that all the time. I just put a number in and I gotta say, my bad, wrong chat. But I do that all the time. I just be sending. I'm horrible with it.

Jessica Hilarious
Without giving it away, though, kick us off.

Lil Rel
Yeah, but it's this one. It tells a lot because it's such a conversation piece. And like I have me playing Richard is I kind of got his back most of the time. So I'm trying not to say stuff without telling people. But it is a beautiful movie. It's really funny. It's a lot of drama in it. But the drama end up making sense and healthy people come. It's healthy drama. It has love in it. It has faith in it.
- [46:46]
DJ Envy
It's just.
- [46:46]
Lil Rel
And it has food in it. But it is. This is a different twist than you've seen in other Christmas movies. And that's why I really love. That's why I wanted to do it in the first place.
- [46:55]
DJ Envy
Yeah, it has a little New York, a little la, you know, a little erectile dysfunction.

Jessica Hilarious
But yes, yes.

Charlamagne Tha God
Looking at you like, I'm just.
- [48:46]

I'm just realizing. And my mother said. And I said, how come you didn't teach us Spanish? She said, in case I wanted to say something bad about your father.
- [48:56]
DJ Envy
I don't want you all to know.
- [48:58]

Why didn't I. I didn't even. I didn't know that about you.

I got secrets.
- [49:02]
Charlamagne Tha God
Ms. Holtzman, I want to ask you. You've been part of so many multiple generations in this.
- [49:06]
Anna Marie Horsford
Yes. Can you believe it?
- [49:07]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, I can. How do you stay connected to, like, every generation of storytellers and audiences?
- [49:14]
Anna Marie Horsford
I think being your authentic self, that they know there's something true, you know, I mean, I don't have Tourette's, but I usually tell the truth when everybody else is quiet.
- [49:26]
DJ Envy
You say, I don't have Tourette.
- [49:32]
Anna Marie Horsford
But, you know, there were always children who would say something and you would look, you know, it was one time, my mother took me to this friend's house, and I said, excuse me, do you know you walk like a woman? And my mother said, her hand was so close to my face, he said, no, no. Do I. He said, show me.
- [49:49]
Lauren LaRose
I said, you want me to show.
- [49:49]

And he was a little special.

Jessica Hilarious
Yes.
- [49:57]
Charlamagne Tha God
So you have.
- [50:00]
Anna Marie Horsford
You have kids that just say that? So somebody identifies with being a little off. You know what I mean? And my mother would say, she fell on her head before she was Born. So you have to excuse anything that comes out her mouth.
- [50:13]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, ma'.
- [50:14]
Jessica Hilarious
Am.
- [50:14]
Anna Marie Horsford
And I said, oh. I didn't understand what it meant, but it meant she might say something that's inappropriate. And I think that's what it connects with every generation, you know, I mean, because we don't know when we do these things what the audience has been like. We really don't know which movie. You know, I had no idea Friday was gonna be as big as it was.
- [50:36]

You know, it's so interesting.

You know, she don't lie.
- [51:16]
Charlamagne Tha God
She.
- [51:16]
Jessica Hilarious
She ain't got to rest, but she tell the truth. Okay. That's what she said, but also, like, what she just said. Being your authentic self promotes longevity. Right? I met her. We met, like, 20, maybe, like, 24 years ago, and I was living in North Carolina and went to a theater festival in Atlanta with a mentor, and he introduced me to her, and she was so kind to me. And she told me, then, you just got to keep, you know, being consistent, keep pursuing it, and one day it'll happen. And so when I saw her on set, I reminded her that I had met her. I was completely different then. You know, I had some little locks in my hair. I was, like, straight out of, you know, coming from Greensboro, hosting. And it was just, like. It was surreal for me to, like, be on the set with someone who I consider, like, a living legend. She's an icon for so many of us. But, yeah, I say longevity is one of the things that I've been blessed to witness with you.
- [52:14]
Charlamagne Tha God
How about you, brother?

Lil Rel
You know something? So we did Vacation Friends together. She played my mom. I didn't realize how funny she was. And she ended up.
- [52:23]
Jessica Hilarious
You.
- [52:23]
Lil Rel
You don't notice, but, like, when we shoot Vacation Friends, you literally did something like my mom. It was. It wasn't in the script. I think I was, like. My character was acting like he was kind of embarrassed, and he's like, so if you're embarrassed about me, I'll just go home then. You know, it was.
- [52:35]
Lauren LaRose
It.
- [52:35]
Lil Rel
But it was almost surreal.
- [52:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, wow.
- [52:39]
Lil Rel
But watching you do this thing where you don't even have to say words, you could just make a face. And to me, that's a skill set, too. Like, I think like somebody like you and David Alan Grier, who I look at, that people just make their reactions is more than a word. And so that's one of the things I learned from just working with you. But also, you just amazing. And you're so honest, you make me laugh. I don't know what she's gonna say half the time.
- [53:02]
DJ Envy
And I love that.
- [53:02]
Jessica Hilarious
That's what I love, too.

Well, I met Ms. Anna when I was 14 years old. The Parenthood and the Wayne's Brothers started off the WB network back in the day. So I've known her for the majority of my career. 30 years in my. And what Tabitha said is so true. Like, Ms. Anna reminds me of that time when I was around Robert Townsend and all of these folks who have been grinding since the 60s and the 70s and the lessons that they give us. Like, she is a treasure, a national treasure. And I've never worked with her. So this has just been amazing, you.

So, Ms. Holzman, what's the biggest lesson you. You try to instill in just people about longevity and grace.
- [53:59]
Anna Marie Horsford
I think you can't be distracted by racism, other people's definition of you. Your truth, if you just know that you are here for purpose, and nobody can take that from you. You know what I'm saying? When people say, you didn't get your flowers? I got my flowers, you know, because I've been working much longer. I asked God for one. I said, just prove to me that I'm an actress. Give me one job. Because, you know, nobody believed it except your mother at first. And then you get the one job and you say, oh, well, that wasn't bad. And then you get another. And then I still. Every time I get a job, it's like the first one.
- [54:40]
Jessica Hilarious
Really?
- [54:41]
Anna Marie Horsford
Yeah. Because somebody believes in you. I mean, somebody. It's not hard, you know, and you look at other people. I was telling Jess I was following her for years. I'm saying, oh, she's so wonderful. And this. And I really feel it because, you know, say, look at that. And something you didn't think of. But you know, it's the truth. And I think if you just understand that we're in a world that there's enough for everybody, Everybody can have 500 fan. Well, now you got more than 500. You can have, you know, millions or whatever, but just know that you've been.

DJ Envy
How do you decide what parts you pick? Because when you pick your roles, they are not the same. Amen. It's not like Friday, which is not.
- [59:24]
Anna Marie Horsford
Like I was a virtuous woman, okay? And somebody tried to sell a nasty story. And I said, what? The editor called. My press agent said, somebody is trying to say a terrible story about her. I said, that is not true. So you better pick the roles that people like, you know? Cause people really believe black people now. I don't know about white people.
- [59:47]
Charlamagne Tha God
Black people believe every goddamn thing.
- [59:51]
DJ Envy
Every single dude.
- [59:54]
Anna Marie Horsford
There is no division between reality and tv. How's your husband? And I do stay in touch with Clifton I said, he's fine. I got a new husband now in this movie. Rico's my new husband. A few other husbands, and between. I can't remember all of them, but they're all good to me. They're all good to me. But it's just that you have a brand. Even if you don't know you have a brand. And my brand is kind of decent human being who's honest. You know what I mean? Just to be honest with. Even if the line is, I have gone up for things, I said, this is not me. Not me. No, no. My people won't believe it. And I don't believe it.
- [60:36]
Charlamagne Tha God
Even in acting, though.
- [60:37]
Anna Marie Horsford
Even in acting. No, there's one. And I just said, I can't. I said the words can't even come out my mouth. You know, it was low, low, low. And somebody else got it. A friend of mine. And I was happy for her. But no, everything is not for you. I always believe that. What we get, the roles we get. It's somebody else that you're supposed to meet there. It's not just the role. God gives everybody a tower. And the talent is so that you can use to get to affect the people you're supposed to meet along that road. But if I'm supposed to go to Georgia, there are other people I'm supposed to meet a long way in Georgia. It's not just the movie, you know, it's somebody else whose life I'm supposed to be affecting.
- [61:22]
Charlamagne Tha God
Wow. So on this film, who did you meet? Like, who?
- [61:25]
Anna Marie Horsford
I met all these colored people. Let me just say she had a revelation. Cause girlfriend didn't know all of this mess was going on. She did not know. And then I can't say because I haven't seen the completed movie yet. But there was one scene that I felt really strong. And the producers allowed me to do some improvisation on it when the child comes back, you know, because children like to grow up and then kind of read their parents and tell them everything they did wrong. Y' all shaking your head.
- [62:01]
Jessica Hilarious
Forget that.
- [62:01]
Anna Marie Horsford
No parent want no report card. We did the best we could. We fed you, change a nasty diaper. Listen to all that foolishness. And all I'm saying is, some things you get right, some things you don't get right. You know, you be perfect, but parent is not perfect. And when that scene came up, I said, oh, let me do a little of this. And I haven't seen it, but I hope it addresses that issue where. No, no, no. You gonna tell me, but let me Just tell you a little something, too, because I don't think we look. We only look from one perspective. What you didn't do for me. Well, let me tell you what you didn't do for me, you know, because nobody gives you the handbook on parenting.
- [62:47]
Lil Rel
And it's still in there, too. It's like, all of us has been doing, like, this press run. That's one of the most important parts of the movie is, you know, I don't know who said it, but, like, all right. She's a woman, too. She's like, yeah, we're human.
- [63:03]
Jessica Hilarious
You're human.
- [63:03]
Lil Rel
And so, like, it's still.
- [63:05]
Caller/Listener
It's.
- [63:05]
Lil Rel
When you see it, you'll see.
- [63:06]
DJ Envy
Okay.
- [63:07]
Jacqueline Carr
And, you know.
- [63:07]
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm sorry.
- [63:08]
DJ Envy
Go ahead.
- [63:08]
Lauren LaRose
Oh, I was gonna say one of.
- [63:09]
Jacqueline Carr
The things that Ms. Anna was. Was talking about, and I don't want to give too much away, but we're so used to our mothers and elders telling us, do what I say. Just do it. Don't ever talk back to me. But when you become an adult, you do have questions about things that happen to you. And one of the things that I love is to sing with you. And Dominique Perry, who's not here, she loves the show, too. She plays my sister, but she confronts her mother and her. Without giving too much away, her mother listens and apologizes. And that is something that I really hope folks take away from this. You can always apologize and do better. So that's one of the things I love about this.
- [63:48]
Charlamagne Tha God
I apologize to my kids all the time, and I agree with everything y' all saying, because I think that we often forget our parents had a life.
- [63:53]
Lauren LaRose
Before they were all.
- [63:55]
Jacqueline Carr
They were, just a girl and a guy.
- [63:57]
Anna Marie Horsford
Yeah, that's very interesting. I. I, at one point told my parents, I said, I want to know who you were before you became my mother and father. So what I did is I went back to both of their hometowns and just to see who they were, because I said, oh. And then I interviewed them because I didn't know. And my mother surprised me a lot. I said, how many men you had, Mom?
- [64:24]
Jessica Hilarious
And the poor cameraman said, anna, that's your mother.
- [64:27]
Jacqueline Carr
I said, I know, but I want.
- [64:30]
Anna Marie Horsford
And she said, three. But, you know, after they all come out the same. They all the same. And I said, oh, okay. I said, well, what would you say if your daughter had a lot more than that? She said, if it took 100 men to make my daughter happy, I'm happy for her. And I said, who is this woman who is.
- [64:49]
Lauren LaRose
I mean, Isn't that your dad Wouldn't.
- [64:51]
Charlamagne Tha God
Say that.
- [64:54]
DJ Envy
Took a hundred brothers.
- [64:56]
Anna Marie Horsford
But it's just interesting because we don't know who they are.
- [65:00]
Caller/Listener
That's right.
- [65:00]
Anna Marie Horsford
You know, they start, and then at a certain point, if you're lucky enough to have your parents live long enough, because a lot of us lose them.
- [65:09]
Jacqueline Carr
Yeah.
- [65:10]
Anna Marie Horsford
You become the parent to this child, and you see. Oh, oh, the kindness. The kindness. You know, it's just. It's so interesting that. And I think I'm blessed, and we all are blessed to be able to have a fantasy of. I want to be an actor. I want to be a performer. I want to stand on stage. And then you get to have it done. And people know you. I mean, every other black person in America, especially up damn knows me, girl.
- [65:41]
Jessica Hilarious
That's you.
- [65:42]
Anna Marie Horsford
I said, how you know it's me?
- [65:43]
Jessica Hilarious
You know it's me.
- [65:44]
Anna Marie Horsford
You know it's me. And you meet them how they meet you in the house, you know? Cause I have been in your living room.
- [65:52]
Jacqueline Carr
That's right.
- [65:52]
Anna Marie Horsford
In your bedroom, all over. On the radio, in your car, you know, for a long time. So I can't laugh or talk too loud. Cause they know me, girl.
- [66:04]
DJ Envy
That's your boy.
- [66:05]
Anna Marie Horsford
I know that that was you. You look like yourself.
- [66:07]
Charlamagne Tha God
This movie's going to empower a lot of people over the holidays to have those conversations. You know, One of the. One of my first breakthroughs in therapy was realizing that my dad used to discipline me for things he never taught me. And so when we had a conversation and he started telling me about his own issues and how he tried to commit suicide, and he was on, you know, different medication for his mental health. Once I realized all that, it gave me a level of grace for him that I didn't even know I had.
- [66:32]
Caller/Listener
Yes.
- [66:33]
Anna Marie Horsford
Yeah.
- [66:33]
Jessica Hilarious
You know what?
- [66:34]
Anna Marie Horsford
Lucky if we get a chance to look at them like that.
- [66:37]
Jessica Hilarious
That's right. That's.
- [66:38]
Jacqueline Carr
Wow.
- [66:39]
Lil Rel
Also have a conversation with that. That's one of my struggles now is that, you know, my. My dad has dementia, and it's like, oh, you know, going through therapy and, like, recognizing some moments where, like, dang, he wasn't. I. I had to get to a point where I understood. Not even just my dad, just people who love me. They wasn't necessarily hating and that they didn't believe in me. They was scared for me because I was taking a chance doing something nobody did. So it was more or less a protection thing. It wasn't that they didn't believe in you. Want you to be hurt.
- [67:07]
Anna Marie Horsford
Yeah.
- [67:08]
Lil Rel
You Know what I'm saying?
- [67:09]
Charlamagne Tha God
Trade school, bro.
- [67:10]
Jacqueline Carr
Yeah.
- [67:13]
Jessica Hilarious
That'S familiar to them. You know, you see people who work trades all the time. Same with, like, with me. I wanted to be an actor since I was a little girl, but we didn't know nobody in my family. So my mama was like, okay, I know you want to do that, but you also make clothes. So my great, great aunt was the town seamstress. So she said, why don't you go to school for fashion design? Because if the acting thing don't work.
- [67:35]
Anna Marie Horsford
Out, then you'll have that.
- [67:36]
Jessica Hilarious
It wasn't that she was discouraging me. She was just telling me, like, we know what that looks like and you can actually do that.
- [67:43]
DJ Envy
So, you know, let me ask you, how would you be with your kids, right? Because the same thing with me, right? My mom said, get a job with a hat.
- [67:49]
Lil Rel
That was her thing.
- [67:50]
Jacqueline Carr
With a hat.
- [67:51]
DJ Envy
Meaning you work for 20 years, you get retirement and you're covered, right? When I was a dj, they thought the DJ thing was cute until after I graduated from college. And I still did it. They was like, all right, enough's enough. But now I look at it and I'm like, I would never be that, right? But then I look at if my son 10 years ago said, dad, I want to be a gamer. I'd be like, boy, if you don't.
- [68:08]
Lauren LaRose
Get the college, it's a new look.
- [68:10]
DJ Envy
At some of these games making 34, 40 million dollars.
- [68:13]
Jacqueline Carr
You get scholarships to college now doing.
- [68:16]
Caller/Listener
Gaming all across all.
- [68:18]
Jacqueline Carr
Oh, yeah. It's a different world.
- [68:19]
Anna Marie Horsford
And I think you have to. I mean, it's really interesting. Children, you know, when they looking for advice, I say, your voice should be louder. When God talks to you, he tells you, you know, there's a little girl like Tabitha. I said, mommy, I gotta go to Hollywood. And I would practice walking down the steps. Of course, I would fall a lot because I had on heels. And she said, your ass gonna be broken by the time you get to Hollywood. And one time I was going somewhere and my back was out. I said, she was right.
- [68:50]
Charlamagne Tha God
She was right.
- [68:51]
Anna Marie Horsford
It was a hundred years after. But God tells you what you are here for. Yes, he does what you are here for. And I remember one time I said, oh, my mother said, oh, you look just like a lamppost girl. And I said, oh, I'm a real actress. I was about 4 or 5. I didn't know what a lamppost girl was. It was a prostitute in Santa Domingo.
- [69:13]
Jacqueline Carr
But I thought, wow, lamp post girl.
- [69:17]
DJ Envy
Because I had put My hat on.
- [69:19]
Lauren LaRose
And I had something else.
- [69:20]
Anna Marie Horsford
And she said, oh, and I look just like a lamppost girl. And I said, she didn't know it was me. I'm a lamppost girl.
- [69:27]
DJ Envy
No, mother.
- [69:28]
Lauren LaRose
I never did.
- [69:29]
Anna Marie Horsford
I never became one, but I acted like one. But again, God talks to you. He tells you what you came here for. There are no mistakes, even though you don't have any reference. This one wasn't that. This one wasn't that. Listen to that voice. Make that voice louder than any outside voice coming to you. Because they don't know why you gave them to me.
- [69:54]
Lil Rel
With my family, I had to. Like, I remember when it was. They were being combative to it, but I'm like, well, y' all raised me and told me I could do anything, so you raised me too good. So I can't listen to what you saying to me.
- [70:06]
Anna Marie Horsford
Right, Right.
- [70:06]
Lil Rel
You know what I mean? Like, it's. It's really interesting, but once again, it came out of fear. Right? And one of the things I love about my family is that they end up apologizing. Like, when I first moved to New York and I got my first show, they literally threw a dinner together and apologizing. And so now, just to this point, they are crazy supportive. Like, you see them with lil Rail shirts. We l' Rail family.
- [70:29]
Jacqueline Carr
You're teaching them also. And I think for our children, we always look at them as ours, ours, little us's. But they grow up and they grow.
- [70:36]
Lauren LaRose
Into their own people.
- [70:38]
Jacqueline Carr
And then one day you need their help, you need their advice, and you realize, oh, they're part of my community. And it does flip as your parents get older. My mother is in her 70s, and it's very much like, girl, why you didn't do what I told you to do? Why are you talking back and all of that? So life is very interesting.
- [70:57]
Charlamagne Tha God
Just one quick question, and it's in regards to the movie and everything we talking about now. Do you personally believe that family should always be forgiven? I know you're talking about step parents, but just.
- [71:05]
Jessica Hilarious
No.
- [71:05]
Jacqueline Carr
I think it depends. It really depends.
- [71:20]
DJ Envy
But that's a good question.
- [71:21]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, I believe everyone can be forgiven. Right? Forgiveness is not for the other person. It's for you.
- [71:29]
Anna Marie Horsford
It's for yourself.
- [71:30]
Jessica Hilarious
And so forgiveness, even in family, doesn't mean we have to be together or forget. It doesn't mean that you have to be back in my life. It just means I have forgiven you and I'm going about my business. You got some deep pain, though, like, from some family members that you just can't reverse.
- [71:51]
Jacqueline Carr
Especially if they're not asking for your forgiveness. If they don't see nothing wrong, then it makes it hard for. Even if you want to forgive.
- [71:59]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, but that's the thing about forgiveness. When it's for you, you don't have.
- [72:03]
Jacqueline Carr
To say it to that person.
- [72:05]
Jessica Hilarious
It's so that you can move forward in your life without hindrance.
- [72:09]
Jacqueline Carr
That's true.
- [72:10]
Mimi Brown
Right.
- [72:10]
Jessica Hilarious
Because sometimes you can hold something against someone and it hurts.
- [72:14]
Anna Marie Horsford
It hurts yourself.
- [72:15]
Jessica Hilarious
Right.
- [72:16]
Jacqueline Carr
You can't move forward.
- [72:17]
Jessica Hilarious
So it's not for them. Right. Especially because we've all been hurt. And there's some things that people do that feels like. Like that is. It can't be forgiven. Like, it just can't. But to them, they may go to, you know, they rest in place feeling like you never forgave them and. And that's their business to feel for you to live your life in peace. Forgiveness has to live in your heart. Yeah.
- [72:39]
Lil Rel
I went to see a play called oh Happy Day. That's. That's out here going tonight. Oh, man, it's so good. And it's a great song to have, really with that subject. It's, you know, it's a song. I don't know the lyrics exact. Cause I heard it yesterday. But it's like, can you forgive the person or situation that hurt you the most? And it was God asking that question to Jordan Cooper's character. Because that's how you move on. You gotta move. You can't sit in that. You know what I mean? Cause it really affects you and you can't. Like, it ain't about me seeing what. I don't need nothing from you. I don't need you to say, it is what it is. I forgive you and we ain't gotta talk again.
- [73:15]
Jacqueline Carr
See, I wonder what that looks like, though.
- [73:16]
Jessica Hilarious
I wonder what it looks like for giving somebody the training. Gotta talk to. You know what I mean? Like. Like what does that look like?
- [73:22]
Jacqueline Carr
You just gone about your business. It looks like freedom.
- [73:26]
Anna Marie Horsford
Freedom feels like it's a feeling.
- [73:29]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, it looks and feels like joy, happiness. Like you can see somebody be like, they went through all that and they still looking. Yeah, they still showing up.
- [73:38]
Lauren LaRose
Because it takes a lot of energy.
- [73:39]
Jacqueline Carr
To hold on to that. To that anger or whatever it is. So you're absolutely right.
- [73:44]
Lauren LaRose
And also, like, when you think about.
- [73:45]
Jessica Hilarious
Like, matters of the heart. Heart. You know, most people hurt you, they hurt your heart.
- [73:49]
Lauren LaRose
Right.
- [73:50]
Jessica Hilarious
You know, if. If you think forgiveness is something that has to happen, it's not about, like, it hurts Your feelings, it hurts your heart.
- [73:56]
DJ Envy
Yeah.
- [73:57]
Jessica Hilarious
So whether that. Whatever that thing was, say it was a past relationship. The longer you hold the grudge, the longer you block that part of the heart for you to be loved again.
- [74:07]
Jacqueline Carr
There you go. There, that's beautiful.
- [74:11]
Jessica Hilarious
So that we can get what God has for us. There you go.
- [74:15]
Anna Marie Horsford
Oh, this is an unexpected interview.
- [74:22]
DJ Envy
Unexpected Christmas in theaters this Friday. Thank you so much for joining us.

- [74:38]
Jessica Hilarious
Lauren becoming a street thing.
- [74:41]
DJ Envy
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
- [74:43]
Charlamagne Tha God
She gets the details.
- [74:44]
Lauren LaRose
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
- [74:47]
Charlamagne Tha God
She be having the latest on the beans.
- [74:50]
Caller/Listener
The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.
- [74:52]
Charlamagne Tha God
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything.
- [74:56]
Caller/Listener
Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
- [74:58]
DJ Envy
Talk to me.
- [74:59]
Jessica Hilarious
All right, y'. All.
- [75:00]
Lauren LaRose
So yesterday I went to Clarissa Shields press luncheon that she had here in New York City after she announced her 80 million dollar fight contract.
- [75:08]
Jessica Hilarious
What was it?
- [75:09]
DJ Envy
Was it at.
- [75:09]
Lauren LaRose
It was at say less.
- [75:10]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
- [75:11]
Lauren LaRose
In the city. Yeah. So she had shut down. It was a private event. It was me. It was very intimate. Probably had like, about like maybe 10 outlets there. Me, TMZ, a bunch of different people, free food, drinks. You know, she took good care of us.
- [75:23]
Jessica Hilarious
A bird.
- [75:24]
Lauren LaRose
Yes, yes. Girls love free. Say less.
- [75:27]
DJ Envy
That's right.
- [75:28]
Lauren LaRose
But yeah, so she took care of us, but we got a chance to talk to her. So I know one of the questions we had was we want to know more about the structuring of the deal. How many fights, all of that. Let's take a listen to Clarissa on the deal structure. With this $8 million minimum or whatever, the roof is on the number, is there a certain amount of fight fights within the two years that you have to fight? So it's a two year deal. Four fights. The reason why we say 8 million minimum, because if I had to explain the whole business of boxing to you, it wouldn't even be enough time for everybody to understand it. But I'm gonna make way more than 8 million and I'm getting 3 million. Well, I already got 3 million up, like, as my signing bonus for the first year. I believe that I will make probably about like 16 million the first year.
- [76:09]
Caller/Listener
Our dreams be biggest.
- [76:10]
Lauren LaRose
Serena Williams, you know, like, that is who I grew up idolizing. That's who I Kind of put my career after, you know, just being the.
- [76:17]
DJ Envy
Best, trying to make sure I have.
- [76:19]
Lauren LaRose
The best image, get the big endorsement deals, get the sponsorships, and just stay.
- [76:23]
DJ Envy
On top and win. When I heard 8 million, I mean, I love it and. But I still think she's worth way more than that. She's the biggest in women's. In women's boxing. Right. We should be throwing all types of money at us. She should be getting endorsements. She should be getting her own sneakers. She'd be getting her own gloves. Loves. She's encouraging women to box. She should be making way more than that. She is the face, in my opinion, of women's boxing, just like Venus and Serena were for.
- [76:47]
Caller/Listener
For.
- [76:48]
DJ Envy
For tennis. Just like, you know, golf is for tennis as well. Tigers for golf. Like, she's the face of it. And $8 million, I still think it's like she's be getting way more than that. So salute to Clarissa.
- [76:58]
Lauren LaRose
So y' all know what's crazy? Well, first, I was telling her yesterday, the presser, that I've never paid attention to women's, like, fighting as much as I had because I'm attached to her. Yeah. And I just want to know what she's doing and want to learn because of her. So, yes, to your point. But what's crazy is yesterday she talked a lot. And if you guys. Because we won't get a chance to play everything here, I'll be talking about this on my podcast, the Latest with Lauren LaRosa and the full press conferences on my YouTube channel. Lauren LaRosa TV and Breakfast Club will pin it there too. She talked about how it was a fight to even get to that 8 million because people were coming to her with. With lower things. She did say that Jake, Paul and MVP came to her with an offer. They've mended their relationship as well. But she went with million because it was the best offer. But she also says the deal that she got, if it wasn't for Papoose, it wouldn't have happened. And she gave him so much like flowers yesterday because she said there was a lot of people that came to her and the numbers just weren't right. And she knew she was worth more because of what Papoose brought to the table with Win Records. She decided to stay with Solita. Now it's a partnership. That's how they were able to get to that number. So I got a chance to also talk to Pat Poosh yesterday just about the narrative around his relationship, that he's taken more than he's giving in the situation and. And we had a very honest conversation about it. Let's take a listen. Does it ever make you upset? She talked a bit about this in our interview just now, how it's annoying to her that people make it seem like you're not adding on, like you're subtracting or taking from her.
- [78:13]
Charlamagne Tha God
It doesn't upset me, but it disappoints me. Katt Williams had did a stand up one time and out of nowhere, I never met Cat Williams. And he said when he was doing his stand up, he said, yo, why.
- [78:23]
Caller/Listener
Y' all don't with Pat poops?
- [78:24]
DJ Envy
Like he ain't never do nothing but.
- [78:26]
Charlamagne Tha God
G and me and him never even met. So I just bring that up to say that what I've done, being in this game for so long, never selling.
- [78:33]
Caller/Listener
My soul, never back door, never doing no sideways.
- [78:35]
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm disappointed that some of y' all would actually believe some of that foolishness.
- [78:40]
Caller/Listener
Very disappointed.
- [78:41]
Charlamagne Tha God
So it doesn't upset me.
- [78:42]
Caller/Listener
But for those who know me, cool, the newcomers, the casuals who don't know.
- [78:46]
Charlamagne Tha God
No better, I get it. But those of y' all who know.
- [78:48]
Caller/Listener
Me, very disappointing that you would even.
- [78:50]
Charlamagne Tha God
Jack some of that because it makes no sense at all.
- [78:52]
Jessica Hilarious
Damn, that's great. But you know what? One thing I, I want to say is he has help structure her business wise, right? So that's good that she gives him that, that credit because, you know, I'm saying, forget what the people say in the comments or whatever. We living off her. Whatever, whatever. Even forget what was said about him, you know, about, you know, because he had made some things too, and me said some things too, that actually egged that on, had people saying that. But like, it definitely, definitely looks as if from what we see and what Clarissa has told you, that he's helped her structure her business in a better way, make people take us serious. So, yeah, that was the best thing that ever happened to each other, it looks like to me.
- [79:31]
DJ Envy
Well, Pap is seasoned in the industry too. Like, he's been here a while. He's done so many different deals, so he knows what to look for and what to get. But I will say I'm just glad that Clarissa Shields is starting to get her flowers right. I don't want to compare her to Floyd Mayweather, but I will in this aspect. She's culture, right? And when I mean culture, she pulls up to those culture events like Floyd used to do. Like, if something was going on, Floyd was there to show his face, to show that he Supported his people. People don't necessarily think that now, but that's what Clarissa does. If there's something going on, Ebony 100, a BET Awards or whatever, ESPN Award documentary, a car show, she's gonna pull up and say, I am culture and I'm here. And I love that about Clarissa.
- [80:11]
Lauren LaRose
100. Yeah. And she's always down to, like, talk. Like, I reach out to her on so much different stuff, and she's always down to talking papoose. And Clarissa want to come here together too. So I told them that we set that up so we can really get into some things. Yeah. Because I knew I wouldn't have a lot of time to do, so they'll be up here soon, so y' all can look out for that. Also today, I will be on Tamron Hall.
- [80:30]
DJ Envy
Oh, really?
- [80:30]
Lauren LaRose
Yes. It finally airs today. So I. I have a clip. They gave us a clip exclusively for us to take a listen to, and then I'll tell you guys what time it's airing. I believe it's 2pm Eastern Standard Time in New York. Let's take a listen. This happened because you bet on yourself. Oh, my God, you're crying.
- [80:44]
Jessica Hilarious
You're gonna make me cry.
- [80:45]
Lauren LaRose
I'm always crying, y'.
- [80:46]
Jessica Hilarious
All.
- [80:46]
Lauren LaRose
I feel like this last year, I've been crying, but it's like tears of joy more than anything because.
- [80:51]
Jessica Hilarious
Yes.
- [80:51]
Lauren LaRose
Like, when you take a chance, you just don't know. You don't know how it's gonna turn out. Because you were at tmz, you were covering all things pop culture. Yes.
- [80:59]
Jessica Hilarious
And you started to think about, how do I own my own identity?
- [81:02]
Lauren LaRose
And then two very important people in your life, your mother and your grandmom, had health scares. Yes. And that changed your perspective on a lot of things. I mean, I didn't really have a choice. I had to get back closer to home. They're in Delaware, so being on the east coast and New York was just, like, the place that I could come to where I'm like, okay, I could still walk, but I could be close. But for a time, I couldn't even work because my mom was back and forth to the hospital. So I was like, I don't know what's about to happen, but, like, if I get another shot at career, I'm going in, like, 300%.
- [81:30]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [81:30]
DJ Envy
And then this little homeless girl stood outside the station with a sign that said, we'll work for food. We passed her every day. Wig was shifted to the side. We said, let's bring her in. Give her a little food. And she never left.
- [81:41]
Lauren LaRose
Shifted to the side. It's crazy. Don't tell Jess. I never left. I don't want to.
- [81:48]
Jessica Hilarious
Congratulations today.

DJ Envy
Absolutely.

Okay.

Caller/Listener
The reason I want to give it to Charlemagne to God is I completely understand his interest for the people who are our own SNAP benefits. But this is not the time for the Democrats to bow down to the Republicans. They hold strong. Charlemagne needs to do a little bit more research on the Affordable Health Care act and these subsidies, because these same subsidies are impacting those people with SNAP benefits. And what these people are going to end up having to do is make a choice. And so all of these people who are going to lose these subsidies are the same people who are getting these benefits who have health care issues that need the services that are going to provide them the ability for some people to be able to get well and.
- [85:28]
Be able to work.
- [85:29]
These subsidies go way deeper than what he's thinking on the surface level about people just having to make a choice between going to the doctor. Many of these people are very, very ailing and have some significant medical impacts that these subsidies are helping them to be able to afford health care. So I need him to stop telling the Democrats to bow down to the Republicans because this issue is deeper than what he thinks that it is.

You've been working in the garage with your dad every week, Monday to Sunday, trying to get the old school up and running. Today, after all the hard work, y' all finally finished it. So you have that feeling of accomplishment. You did it. Then your dad throws you the keys. He says those three magic words, all yours, son. Yep. Same car that belonged to your grandpa and that your dad helped him fixed. It's yours. Three generations right there, keeping the tradition alive. But if you ask dad to really keep the tradition going, you need to get insurance. And you already know you need to get State Farm because your agent, well, he gets tradition too. His dad was an agent, his grandpa too. So he gets you generation to generation. Remember to choose the ages that your family counted on. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

Today's episode is brought to you by a scent that's made a legendary comeback. The Gris original Cool Rush. The OG is back and better than ever. Cool Rush isn't just a scent. It's a movement, a fan favorite. It's the kind of fragrance that guys remember, ask for by name and rave about online. It's bold, fresh and delivers all day sweat protection with that cool, crisp vibe that made it a legend. Whether you're heading to the gym, the office, or just trying to stay fresh on a long day, Cool Rush has your back. It's the go for millions and for a good reason. So if you haven't tried it yet or if you've been waiting for a sign, this is it. Head to your local Walmart or Target and grab degree Cool Rush, the fan favorite scent from the world's number one antiperspirant brand on ebay. Every find has a story. Like if you're looking for a vintage band tee. Not just a tee, the band tee from the last show your favorite band ever played. You wore it everywhere. Then your girlfriend started wearing it, which was cool until she dumped you and took it with her, which was not so cool. Anyway, now you're on ebay. And there it is. Same tee from the same tour. Still living in your memory. Rent free forever. See, the things you love have a way of finding their way back to you. But ebay isn't just forgetting what your ex stole back. It's also for that rare championship foul ball you caught then heroically gave it to the kid next to you. And where else are you going to find your first car? The one you wish you never sold, but now finally get the chance to take back home for good this time. You know, I'm a collector of cars and sometimes I'm looking for the right rim that I had when I was a kid. Yeah, it might have been 20 years ago, but I want that same feeling. And the only way I could find find it is on ebay. Shop ebay for millions of fines each with a story. Ebay. Things people love.

Hate never did anybody any good. Hate is harmful to the hated and the hater alike. Hate is poison in the heart and mind and a horror to all of humankind. That's why hate must stop with us. Right now, our Jewish neighbors are facing an unprecedented wave, wave of hate simply for existing. Families are being harassed, people are being attacked, synagogues are vandalized, homes destroyed simply because the people are who they are. People claim the hatred is justified, but no hatred against another ever really is. Why? Because hate against one community spreads to other communities. And if it can happen to them, it can happen to us. It has happened to us.
- [89:53]
Jessica Hilarious
Us.
- [89:53]
Jacqueline Carr
And it has to stop. Black, Jewish, Latino, and Muslim, we must stand together against hate. We must say loud and clear that we will not let hate win. Don't be ignorant and indifference. Educate yourself and rise above@truth overhate.com and.

All of these SNAP benefit individuals. I know it's difficult for them right now, and I'm not saying that they shouldn't get their just do. But the Republicans have the means to be able to help support them, to get them through this. But we need to put this on the Republicans and not the Democrats. We are not bowed down.
- [90:29]
Jessica Hilarious
Man.
- [90:29]
Charlamagne Tha God
We know, we know the Republicans are the issue, but we also know Republicans aren't going to make no concessions to Democrats. So this government shutdown has been going on for 39 days. You got a bunch of government workers who haven't received any paychecks in 39 days. Their rent is due. They got childcare to pay for. They got light bills to pay for. They got cars notes. I feel for all those federal workers who have missed two paychecks, especially when most of them are living paycheck to paycheck. It's not just about the people with the SNAP benefits. And guess what's going to happen in a few days? Nothing. Democrats aren't going to get anything. Oh, good morning. Who's this?

Caller/Listener
He haw to the biggest he hawk to me. My opinion is Marjorie Taylor Sween for coming on the few. First of all, I don't trust her. She talks out both sides of her mouth and I don't think she's a changed person. And then she's gonna say, I love Donna Tuan. I don't trust her. She gets no love from me.

Lauren LaRose
Talk about, you know, just bringing him into the project and why you decided to start off this. This tribute to the legends and gospel with Bobby Jones.
- [95:59]
Jacqueline Carr
Well, he has played a huge part in a lot of our careers. I could speak for me specifically. I got on his show when I was about 7 years old, didn't even know who I was. And then after that, I released my breakout single, greater is Coming, and he, you know, invited me onto the show, and it just went from there.
- [96:17]
Caller/Listener
So.
- [96:18]
Jacqueline Carr
So it was his show that really, really pushed a lot of our songs. And, yeah, I was like, I'm honored to have him a part of that introduction.

Caller/Listener
How do you.
- [96:27]
Charlamagne Tha God
How did you choose which legends to collaborate with, and what criteria did you use to define legend?
- [96:33]
Jacqueline Carr
Yeah, well, the thing is, I study my songs, so I have to hear who I hear on the song versus just putting someone on there. And then the. There's so many legends. Right. And I couldn't get everybody on this one album, which is why I'm now working on chapter two, because it's just so many. I think that these people are just huge staples in not just gospel, but in music, period. They're the blueprint. And it's just time to honor them and to let them know that we appreciate them. I believe that what you honor will honor you.
- [97:05]
Charlamagne Tha God
Who's the Mount Rushmore gospel artist? We do it with hip hop all the time.
- [97:10]
Jacqueline Carr
Who did so many. You have Pastor Shirley. You have the Clark sisters, Donna Lawrence. Kirk Carr, Kirk Franklin. I mean, the list goes on and on. Like, it's just. And then there's constantly legends being raised up, too. So it's just. It's a lot of them.
- [97:27]
DJ Envy
I want to go back, if you don't mind.
- [97:29]
Lauren LaRose
Yes.
- [97:30]
DJ Envy
What got you into to doing gospel music? Besides Jesus? Why did you want to make it a career?
- [97:40]
Jacqueline Carr
So obviously I was raised in church, and then also I come from a singing family, but even though I came from a singing family, I believe that sometimes, just because you around it, that doesn't mean you're supposed to do it. But it was just in me. Like, I couldn't escape it. Every time I turned around, I was singing. I was in the mirror. I was singing to the grass as if the grass was my crowd. My cousins would come over, I would make a choir with them. Like, I just loved it. And honestly, I didn't even know that. That my career would be to this capacity. I was just doing what I love to do. Yeah. And at a very young age, my dad, he came off his job so that he could manage me and go on the road with me. And he saw the vision coach dad.
- [98:24]
DJ Envy
Leaving his job and managing.
- [98:25]
Mimi Brown
Gotta be a lot of pressure.
- [98:26]
Jacqueline Carr
Yeah, it took a lot of faith, honestly, you know, because you're going from something where, you know, you have stability of income, you can take care of your family, all these things. Like, my life is literally a miracle. It was a faith walk. But, you know, it's been a family thing since the beginning. They, again, they saw my gift, worked it, cultivated it, and I am where I am today.
- [98:47]
DJ Envy
When did you realize that you, quote, unquote, made it?
- [98:49]
Jessica Hilarious
When, like, oh, my gosh, when was that moment?
- [98:54]
Jacqueline Carr
I would say when I heard my music outside of my hometown. That was really big for me because.
- [99:00]
Caller/Listener
Memphis, right?
- [99:01]
Jacqueline Carr
Yes, Memphis, Tennessee. West Memphis, Arkansas.
- [99:04]
Jessica Hilarious
Country. Country.
- [99:06]
Jacqueline Carr
And so I. Yeah, when I heard my music outside of just being played in my region, that's when I knew that it was. It was getting serious.
- [99:14]
DJ Envy
What was that? What did you hear? What region and where were you?
- [99:17]
Jacqueline Carr
Well, so I started traveling heavily at the age of 13, and the Greatest Coming was released around 14, 15. So I wouldn't even be able to tell you where I was because I was traveling literally from city to city. But I just knew, yeah, it was getting real.
- [99:33]
DJ Envy
This your childhood traveling that young because you started early, Were you able to do the things that kids do?
- [99:39]
Jacqueline Carr
Yeah, I was. That's the interesting thing, because I was an active child, and my parents made sure that they balanced Very, very well. Because, of course, I was homeschooled, too. But I modeled. I did a whole lot of things because I just love being active and all of that. And I played with my dolls. I did all these things. They just made sure that I had a very balanced life because I. They also made sure that I enjoyed doing what I do. At the same time, it didn't feel like pressure. Like, even now, it doesn't feel like pressure. I just. It's my happy place now.
- [100:13]
Lauren LaRose
You talk about balance. One of the things that I like about you, and I don't know how hard this is for you, but you're very young. You dress amazing.
- [100:20]
Jacqueline Carr
Thank you.
- [100:21]
Lauren LaRose
People do criticize that sometimes, though, right?
- [100:23]
Anna Marie Horsford
Yes.
- [100:23]
DJ Envy
But in being criticized, you dress good.
- [100:25]
Lauren LaRose
Yes. Because, you know, they give. They give, give. If you're a gospel artist or a person in the faith world, people think that there's a certain way you're supposed to show up. And because you have your fashion and your boutiques and different things, you get flack for if things are too tight or, like, whatever.
- [100:38]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [100:39]
Lauren LaRose
But you still keep the balance of being young and liking to do all those things. How do you handle that?
- [100:42]
Jacqueline Carr
Yeah, you know, I just do what I do. I feel like if I'm not offending God, then, you know, I don't see the issue in that I dress. I never dress. Not dressed, rather, for where I am. If I'm at a gala, I'm addressed like I'm at a gala. If I'm at church, I'm a dress like I'm at church. But all at the same time. It's still respectful. It's still classy and elegant and all of that. I think people need to see that it's okay for you to love God and look good at the same time. It has nothing to do with your body shape. None of that. If you look good, you just look good.
- [101:16]
Caller/Listener
Point.
- [101:16]
Jacqueline Carr
Blanket, period.
- [101:17]
Charlamagne Tha God
But who are these people, though? Because, I mean, have they never not seen somebody be Easter Sunday? You ain't never seen the first lady.
- [101:23]
Lauren LaRose
Of a popping shirt walk in the room.
- [101:27]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what I'm saying.
- [101:28]
Jacqueline Carr
I think a lot of it just. I've been criticized for my body shape when it comes to certain things that I wear. So I think that's most of the time the issue. But.
- [101:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but that's divine, too, though, and.
- [101:40]
Jacqueline Carr
I can't do anything about that.
- [101:42]
Charlamagne Tha God
But it's divine because, you know, what do you see when you see a beautiful woman with a nice body? You be like, good Lord, Lord have mercy, Jesus. You just start calling his name.
- [101:51]
Lauren LaRose
Yeah, but I think it's too. Because your family and your sound is so rooted in like that old school gospel where, like, there's so many rules and things you can and can't do.
- [102:00]
Jacqueline Carr
Yeah.
- [102:01]
Lauren LaRose
But even that, you handle that well too with, like, on this, a project. Very old school sound of gospel. But, like, the melodies pick up a bit. There's like a little bit of country in there at one point. That balance is there also. I don't know how you bring that in because they are not. Not kind of like new things and like that old school gospel.
- [102:17]
Jacqueline Carr
Yeah, yeah. And a lot of them, they actually said that you got me singing this. This young people music. Ms. Dottie in particular said that, but they loved it. And the goal was to, of course, you know, honoring them, but also making sure that the world know these people still have it. Like their voices, their personality, their. Everything about them is still a staple. And so I tried to make sure that there were songs that kind of pulled them out of the box, you know, songs that they probably wouldn't have done before or maybe they would have. I just wanted to make sure I went in a creative route with the album.
- [102:55]
DJ Envy
I wanted to ask, you know what? You've been seeing this a lot more recently. You've been seeing the blend between gospel and hip hop or gospel and other genres of music. What's your thoughts on it? I know some people hate it, some people say it shouldn't be that way, but I love the fact that you're that. That people are infusing with, whether it's Glorilla or Little Baby or whatever. Maybe. What's your thoughts on it?
- [103:14]
Jacqueline Carr
You know, I haven't really put much thought into it because I can't really tell. You can't tell people what to do, you know, whatever. You're just what you feel like is best for your career. You know, you do that. I just try to make sure I'm doing what I'm supposed to do.
- [103:26]
DJ Envy
Would you do a regular with a hip hop artist?
- [103:28]
Jacqueline Carr
It depends. It really depends. I'm very strategic on, you know, how I move and how I do things. So, I mean, you never know, but. But for right now, I. I don't know. I ain't putting any thought into it, so I can't really say.
- [103:41]
Charlamagne Tha God
Be hard to turn down a woman from Memphis named Gloria.
- [103:45]
Caller/Listener
Yes.
- [103:48]
Lauren LaRose
I know you're very protective to piggyback off envy. Right. You're very protective over your brand in this. I'd been Told that you had turned down like music deals and everything just so you could stay independent and working with your family because you want to be able to control how they place you musically.
- [104:02]
Caller/Listener
Yes.
- [104:02]
Jacqueline Carr
And just be able to be in control, period, you know, not having to answer to anybody. And it also keeps you in a position where, you know, you're doing what you want to do, what you feel is best for your career. For me, not everything is about a business move, you know, because at the end of the day, I keep the people in the forefront of my mind and what they need, because that's what it's really about. Is this about me trying to build my own, you know, little thing or whatever? Or is it about me really, really positioning myself to help, help people. And the only way I can do that is if, you know, sometimes there's not a lot of hands in there throughout the process.
- [104:40]
Lauren LaRose
How much money was it? Can we ask you that?
- [104:41]
Jacqueline Carr
Say it again.
- [104:42]
Lauren LaRose
What was the deal that you turned down?
- [104:44]
DJ Envy
She all in your business right now.
- [104:46]
Lauren LaRose
I'm like, when I heard that, I'm like, I mean, I know you're rooted in family, but I'm like, woo. There probably was a lot I'm not.
- [104:51]
Jacqueline Carr
Gonna say, but I will say, you know, again, like, I, I ain't never really been money happy. Like, you know, I'm a money magnet. It so, you know, that makes it also just like, you know, money answer to me. So you're not going to present me with anything as if, you know, I'm supposed to just move upon it and because again, in the forefront of my mind is always the people.
- [105:16]
Charlamagne Tha God
Let me ask, I'mma ask that question Lauren just asked in a different way. If you had to tithe 10% of the money that you had gotten, how much would it have mean?
- [105:24]
Jacqueline Carr
You know what?
- [105:28]
Lauren LaRose
I am tickled.
- [105:30]
Charlamagne Tha God
And you got a song called He Don't Miss.
- [105:31]
Jessica Hilarious
Yes.
- [105:32]
Charlamagne Tha God
What's that song?
- [105:33]
Jacqueline Carr
It's a little country. He don't. I know as he doesn't, but you know, he don't. Just hit a little harder. That song right there is just a song about just confidence in God.
- [105:43]
Jessica Hilarious
I, I.
- [105:43]
Jacqueline Carr
There's never been a season of any one of our lives where he missed, where he did not come through. He did not answer even when it wasn't, when we thought it should have been, how we thought it should have been. At the end of the day, you know, he's been good, he's been faithful, and there's no battle you could ever face. Whether it's sickness, whether it Is, you know, relationship with. Whatever the problem is. There's no battle that he cannot win for you. Because sometimes you gotta understand it's not even on you all the time to fight some things. He wants to fight for you. And everything he has fought for me, he has always won for me.
- [106:19]
DJ Envy
Let's play a joint off our albums out today. What do you want to hear?
- [106:23]
Jacqueline Carr
Let's do I break I.
- [106:25]
DJ Envy
Okay, let's get into that now.
- [106:26]
Lauren LaRose
Tell God, even though I was in your business, I'm a great person.
- [106:29]
Charlamagne Tha God
What did that song mean to you?
- [106:31]
Jacqueline Carr
Before we get into it, I think that we have to understand that we have to make the decision to say this thing. I can't carry this anymore. Whatever. Whatever that this is, Whether it's generational curses, whether it's negative cycles, in whatever area of your life, you have to make the choice to break through that so that you can walk into your full potential and be where you're supposed to be in life. Forgive yourself. Forgive yourself. You cannot control your past. You're not even there anymore. So why are you there? Trying to go back there mentally, you know, so you have to bring yourself to now. What can I do better? But before I move into all these blessings, I need to get rid of this stuff that could stop me from really embracing it. Because you. Have you ever, like, been blessed with something? And then there's this one thing that your attention is on, is keeping you mentally focused on that where you're not able to fully embrace the blessing. That's not what God's plan is for you. So that's what this song is for. I break it. If I break it from the root, which means I want no evidence that you done been here.
- [107:40]
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, that's so powerful. Because I see that with people in your life more so than anybody.
- [107:44]
Jacqueline Carr
Yes.
- [107:44]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I'm saying? Like, people will get removed from your life, and you'll be. Be like you declared the dark cloud.
- [107:49]
Jacqueline Carr
Yeah.
- [107:49]
Lauren LaRose
Yeah.
- [107:50]
Charlamagne Tha God
You didn't even realize.
- [107:51]
DJ Envy
Yeah.
- [107:51]
Jacqueline Carr
Or it could be a different person, but the same spirit, the same cycle. And so that's when you have to ask yourself. I had to ask myself and many people, anybody else, what is it in me that keeps allowing this to happen? You know what I'm saying? So it's not necessarily sometimes the person. It could be something that's in you that you have to free yourself from. Because if you don't fix it, the same thing is going to happen with the next person.
- [108:21]
Charlamagne Tha God
Ooh, preach, preacher.
- [108:22]
Jacqueline Carr
I'm tickled.
- [108:25]
DJ Envy
Let's get into the record right now. You want to close us out on a prayer?
- [108:28]
Anna Marie Horsford
Sure.
- [108:28]
Jessica Hilarious
Let's do it.
- [108:29]
Jacqueline Carr
Father God, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for everybody who's listening right now. I pray that you will meet them where they are, that they will feel your love and your compassion. They will fill your heart that you desire to see them prosper and thrive in life. Free them from anything, mentally, spiritually, emotionally that has been holding them in captivity where they're not able to live to their fullest and highest potential. Thank you for new blessings, new seasons of favor. Thank you. That this season that you're pushing them into, it will not come with pain. It would not come. It would not feel like a curse, but it will feel like a blessing. And every single thing that you've promised them, we thank you. That is done. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
- [109:07]
Charlamagne Tha God
Amen, man.
- [109:08]
DJ Envy
Jakin car album is out today. Thank you so much for joining us.
- [109:11]
Jacqueline Carr
Thank you for having me.
- [109:12]
DJ Envy
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yeah, dj. Come spin now.
- [109:26]
Jacqueline Carr
Come spin.
- [109:29]
DJ Envy
What's up, Nala?
- [109:30]
Lauren LaRose
What's up, guys?
- [109:31]
Charlamagne Tha God
Big Nyla. Nyla Nyla.
- [109:32]
Jessica Hilarious
Simone.
- [109:33]
Charlamagne Tha God
What's happening?
- [109:33]
Anna Marie Horsford
How's it going?
- [109:35]
Jacqueline Carr
You know people say Big Nyla to me now.
- [109:37]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. Cause you Big Nala. They better show some goddamn respect when they see you in the street.
- [109:41]
Jacqueline Carr
I love that.
- [109:41]
Lauren LaRose
It's so cool. Thank you for that.
- [109:43]
Jacqueline Carr
But okay, so I'm gonna start with this record from Jwon, who's also Jadakiss son, but he came and performed live at the Eco, which is an event thrown by certified vibe that we had this past Tuesday with Static select that has Spot in Hidden Tiger and ninth Wonder. And he just dropped a new project executive produced by Capella Gray. This record is called Mike Be.
- [110:04]
Jessica Hilarious
You give me fab vibes. I do like it.
- [110:07]
DJ Envy
You ruined it for me.
- [110:08]
Anna Marie Horsford
What?
- [110:09]
DJ Envy
Cuz when you said it was J Kiss the son, you just automatically think. You think you think of Jada Kiss and then you kind of compare it to Kiss and you can't compare it.
- [110:17]
Charlamagne Tha God
To kiss 100% if you ain't say it.
- [110:18]
DJ Envy
I would have heard it from different.
- [110:20]
Charlamagne Tha God
Envy is not wrong. And I've listened to a lot of J1 and I'm going to tell you why. I've grown to appreciate what J1 does by doing exactly what NB said just now. Reminding myself that this is Jadaki's son. But I cannot look at him through that lens.
- [110:32]
Caller/Listener
Right.
- [110:32]
Charlamagne Tha God
I just got to listen to J1 for J1.
- [110:34]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [110:34]
Jacqueline Carr
There's only it's J1, but it's only. I'm sorry, only one Jadakiss.
- [110:38]
Jessica Hilarious
Like, yes.
- [110:40]
Jacqueline Carr
So I. I didn't look at it like, okay, you guys are gonna think.
- [110:43]
Jessica Hilarious
About it as if I pay a.
- [110:44]
Charlamagne Tha God
Lot of attention to him because he's Jadakissan. Like, I've seen him on Joe Button podcast.
- [110:48]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah, yeah.
- [110:48]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, things will pop up and I look and see because I'm always interested to see, you know, if. If greatness is. Is genetic. You know what I mean? He does a lot of cool stuff. Stuff, you know, But I just. As a rapper, I. I can't listen to him. You know, when you say Jada Kiss done to Envy's Point, I'm like, okay. I'm think I'm expecting something, and I don't want to listen to him with any expectation.
- [111:07]
Jacqueline Carr
Fine, fine, fine.
- [111:09]
Charlamagne Tha God
It was a cool. It was a good record.
- [111:11]
Jessica Hilarious
I liked when the beat dropped. He. But honestly, from top to bottom, it honestly felt like something fab put out back in the day.
- [111:18]
Jacqueline Carr
He does remind me of Fab. He has, like, a braggadocious flow.
- [111:22]
Charlamagne Tha God
Girl, if I was him, I would ask people to stop introducing me as Jada Kiss, son. Cuz I promise you, if you would have just played me that.
- [111:27]
Jacqueline Carr
He helps y' all when I say such and such, child.
- [111:30]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but not if he bought. He got to be barring it up like Kiss, though. Like, that's a cool record.
- [111:34]
Caller/Listener
Okay, Kisses.
- [111:36]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's a different beast.
- [111:37]
Lauren LaRose
Okay, I won't do that no more.
- [111:39]
Jacqueline Carr
I am gonna use an. An associate for this next record, though, for Tyler Watts. We actually met him, me and you. Charlamagne met him at Black Effect Podcast Festival. He's Jacques new art artist.
- [111:50]
Caller/Listener
You remember?
- [111:51]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Absolutely.
- [111:52]
Jacqueline Carr
Yeah. He's about to drop his project with the single that they've been pushing right now is called Prettiest Girl.
- [111:56]
Charlamagne Tha God
Was that him or Jacques?
- [111:57]
Mimi Brown
That was him.
- [111:57]
Lauren LaRose
That was Tyler.
- [111:58]
DJ Envy
Wow, he's dope. Definitely sound like Jacques.
- [112:03]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's crazy because he looked like a shooter. I would never expect that voice to be coming out.
- [112:06]
Jacqueline Carr
He looks like a shooter.
- [112:07]
DJ Envy
Oh, my God.
- [112:09]
Jacqueline Carr
It's the dread.
- [112:10]
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, yeah. The whole aesthetic. I would never expect that voice to be coming out of him. That's why you don't profile people.
- [112:15]
Jacqueline Carr
Exactly.
- [112:15]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. To that young man.
- [112:17]
Anna Marie Horsford
Yeah.
- [112:17]
Jacqueline Carr
Salute to Tyler Watts. His new project is about to drop too, so make sure you guys be on the lookout for him next.
- [112:23]
Lauren LaRose
I'm gonna go with this Wale and.
- [112:25]
Jacqueline Carr
Odile record that NVL at me about last week. It's called City on Fire.
- [112:29]
Charlamagne Tha God
Let me tell you something.
- [112:30]
Jessica Hilarious
Always skates to me like, I just, I love his voice. The beginning sound like a rehearsal though. And I love Odell.
- [112:36]
Anna Marie Horsford
I love Odell.
- [112:37]
Jessica Hilarious
Yeah.
- [112:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
I listen to Wale's new album. Everything is a lot. I've been vibing to that. I'm a riding tour to it. And I don't know what woman broke Wale's heart, but. Thank you. Thank you, man. Let me tell you something. Everything you like about Wale, he completely leaned into on his album. It's like when a. When somebody has completely mastered their powers.
- [112:57]
Jessica Hilarious
This is.
- [112:57]
Charlamagne Tha God
Have you heard album?
- [112:58]
Jacqueline Carr
Yeah, I did.
- [112:59]
Charlamagne Tha God
You don't. You don't think this is like classic Wale?
- [113:01]
Lauren LaRose
I do think so.
- [113:03]
DJ Envy
Talking about his feelings.
- [113:04]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's why like. And he keep talking about his mom. Keep. Throughout the album he talk about his mom. Keep asking him, when you going to get married?
- [113:10]
Jacqueline Carr
Yeah.
- [113:11]
Charlamagne Tha God
Somebody clearly broke W's heart and he is putting it out in this album. And I think, I think this is some of his best work.
- [113:16]
Jacqueline Carr
Do I got time for one more record or did we just talk it out?
- [113:18]
Charlamagne Tha God
Sure, why not?
- [113:19]
Jacqueline Carr
Okay, this last one is from Sid. If you guys know about the Internet. She's a lead singer in the Internet. She's dropping her second solo project and the single off it is called gmfu.
- [113:29]
Jessica Hilarious
I like it cuz it don't sound like nothing else.
- [113:31]
Caller/Listener
It's cool.
- [113:31]
Jessica Hilarious
Okay, I gotta listen to the whole song, but I just like the fact that it don't sound like nothing that's out. It's different.
- [113:38]
DJ Envy
Agreed.
- [113:39]
Mimi Brown
Okay.
- [113:40]
Jacqueline Carr
Envy says it's cool.
- [113:41]
Charlamagne Tha God
It's cool. They said you. Let me see how many songs you played.
- [113:44]
DJ Envy
Somebody said 2. 2. Somebody said 4.
- [113:45]
Charlamagne Tha God
No, African American 212 said, big stud is 3 for 3. Somebody said switch left life height says 4. No, it's Antoine Brothers. 2 and 2, 3 and 1. 3 and 1. Let's go, Sid.
- [113:57]
DJ Envy
1, 2 and 2.
- [113:58]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, this can't be 3 and 2.
- [114:00]
Jessica Hilarious
That means 3 and 4 person.

This weekend. One of the homies mentioned he closed on a new crib. While everyone's asking about a housewarming, you're asking the real questions. Like who is his State Farm agent? See, homeownership is one thing, but the right coverage is the real game changer. It's how you protect your legacy. A State Farm agent can help you with finding the right coverage for your new place. And even help you file a claim over the phone, in person, online or on the app. They're ready to help you and they don't drop the ball. You know what I mean? Like a good neighbor. State Farm is there.
