[Will]

That's the problem when you're a baby and adults got to make decisions for you. Ain't nobody. Ain't nobody told you she wanted to go to American Dream Ball.

[Jess Hilarious]

Nobody ever said that. And that's why I shouldn't. We shouldn't even try. But we did. Because I'm like, no, it's my baby birthday.

[DJ Envy]

That's right. Gotta do something. You want to take pictures? That's right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, exactly. We did take some cute pictures, though. But after the picture, she was like, nah, I'm ready to eat and let's go. So that's. That's, that's it.

[DJ Envy]

That was it.

[Jess Hilarious]

We drove through a storm. Yo, the storms is not playing. Like, I mean, I know Morgan gonna, you know, get into all the storms that we supposed to be expecting.

[Will]

Morgan to be neurologist, but, huh. She a meteorologist.

[DJ Envy]

She talks about Hurricane Erin or one of the storms Erin that's been hitting the coast and hitting things badly.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, Morgan be meteorologist. Like, she, she be checking the storms. But yeah, other than that, I'm good. I'm good, though.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Ali Siddiq will be joining us this morning. Comedian Ali Sadiq.

[Will]

Yes, man. Ali Sadiq actually starts his in the Shadows tour tomorrow at the Tropicana showroom and in Atlantic City. But he's also got a new book.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's the book.

[Will]

It's a book.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a book.

[Will]

It's called Applied Advice. Yes. Okay. That is available everywhere now. But you know, Ali got a bunch of stuff to talk about, man. You got all them stand up Specials on. On YouTube and his standup specials. He got three standup specials right now that have ranked higher than 95% of all Netflix standup specials.

[Jess Hilarious]

Crazy. And then I don't know nobody as consistent as him. Yo, he dropped a. A special or two a year.

[Will]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy.

[DJ Envy]

So we're gonna be kicking a Come Ali Saadiq. Then we got front page news. We'll break down everything that's going on, even the weather. Now some quick sports. It looks like Jake Paul will be taking on Tank. Now, this is in a Netflix boxing match on Interstate form arena in Atlanta. That's November 14th.

[Will]

I never.

[DJ Envy]

Tank agreed to Roach.

[Will]

I mean, yeah, I thought they had a date. I thought their date was supposed to be back in August, but I guess that was never. Was never set in stone.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

And then like, yo, how does that work? They in two different weight classes. Like, he.

[Will]

What?

[Jess Hilarious]

Jake Paul is way bigger than Javante.

[Will]

That is true. But Javante is the way superior boxer. So the way I look at it is like, think about Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather. Logan Paul was way bigger than Floyd. Mayweather wasn't even close.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Will]

But Floyd made him look silly in the ring. And Javante gonna do the same with Tank.

[DJ Envy]

But with Floyd, that was like a. It was an exhibition with Floyd. Oh, this is an exhibition.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not a.

[Will]

It's an exhibition, too. I mean, listen, I think that there's way better competition that Tank could be fighting. But clearly Tank cares about the money. Tank. Tank ain't think about no legacy. He's not thinking about, you know, being the best.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And.

[DJ Envy]

But are you mad at that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[DJ Envy]

Because these boxes put their life behind in the ring all the time, and he wants to cash out. What is life for the line all the time. And, you know, this could be, you.

[Will]

Know, tripling in and out of the ring.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but listen.

[Will]

But we never know what can happen after this. He might go get that money, then he might say, you know what? Let me go fight for Legacy now.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Will]

But who knows? We Sashi, we shall see.

[DJ Envy]

I was gonna say, what's we Sassy. All right, what's up?

[Will]

Please don't say I was culturally appropriating any.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah, we will see. Hopefully, you know, he gets his hair braided days and weeks before so we won't have to worry about the grease in his eye.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, damn.

[Will]

Wow. All right, so you see, how DC.

[DJ Envy]

Do I know, right? Disrespectful.

[Jess Hilarious]

Because she want to see. She want to see Roach get that.

[Morgan Wood]

Rematch I mean, I'm just saying let's do the real fight what we talk about here.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, y'.

[Will]

All.

[Morgan Wood]

So in Texas, the Senate could. The Texas Senate could vote on a congressional redistrict redistricting plan as soon as today. Now, this comes after Texas House Republicans pl passed the plan to redraw congressional maps in their favor yesterday. Now, the House reconvened yesterday after protests from Democrats that saw them leave the state to break quorum and a del and delay a vote. Now, ahead of that vote, Texas Representative Todd Hunter said the state's electorate has more Republicans and the map should reflect that, adding that what the state of Texas is doing is constitutional. Let's take a listen to Representative to Hunter, Todd Hunter of Texas.

[Will]

It's important to note that redistricting can be done at any point in time. The underlying goal of this plan is straightforward, improve Republican political performance.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We are allowed to draw congressional districts on the basis of political performance as.

[Will]

Recognized by the U.S. supreme Court.

[Morgan Wood]

So the bill now heads to the GOP controlled Senate where it's sure to pass. And of course, Texas Governor Greg Abbott also said that he would sign that bill as well. A new congressional map would create five more Republican leaning districts. Meanwhile, Democrats in California and Illinois are watching and they say they'll push to redraw maps in their states to add five more Democratic seats if Texas does the same. Now, this comes as Texas Representative Gene Wu is already out with an amendment that would delay the implementation of new maps until the entire Epstein files list is released to the public. Now, he said in a statement that President Trump is trying to shift attention away from the investigation by pushing redistricting. Also in the Texas legislature, The parents of 27 girls who died at Camp mystic are urging Texas lawmakers to support a new bill that would make summer camps safer. Michael McCown, he's a dad of the he lost his eight year old daughter in that July flooding and he says that more protections need to be in place. Let's take a listen to take a listen. Excuse me. To his comments. Michael.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ma, we did not send Lenny to a war zone. We sent her to camp. We trusted she would be safe. No parent should ever again face what.

[Will]

We are living through now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I believe that being disconnected from electronics for a time is very healthy for kids. Behind the scenes.

[Morgan Wood]

The back office and the foundation of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Summer camp must be fully up to date. How could these girls vanish into the night without anyone having eyes on them? While cabins literally just 20 yards away had no casualties?

[Morgan Wood]

So Texas lawmakers are Taking up the past, the package to of bills to address the disaster. If passed, they would keep summer camps of flood zones, require them to have emergency plans and mandate both weather radios and warning sirens.

[Will]

So I feel so sorry for those parents, man.

[Morgan Wood]

I mean, they went in on the Texas legislator legislatures yesterday, by the way. They were not happy, you know, so. And, and rightfully so.

[Will]

So, yeah, because you know, when a situation like that happens, I'm sure you just look for people to blame because you just can't, you know, believe your babies are not here anymore. You know, but it's like, it's like hindsight is 20 20. Like there's nothing you could do to change the situation. So you can only try to prevent it from happening to other parents in the future because I'm sure you don't want nobody to feel that pain that you are currently feeling.

[DJ Envy]

But some of this just seems common sense, right? Some of these laws that they're passing, not having it, you know, campsite in flood zones. Like, some of this just seems common sense, right?

[Will]

Common sense ain't so common. I don't know.

[Morgan Wood]

Hey, there you go. All right, so that's your front page news for 6am at 7. We will definitely get an update on what's happening with Hurricane Aaron and get into some more of what's happening in the DC takeover per president.

[Will]

But you know, also, Morgan, to about the redistricting. I agree that the redistricting of the maps is absolutely a distraction from the Epstein files, but have we ever watched someone try to fix a fight so blatantly? I mean, the midterms, you know, are about a year away, but damn, have we, have we ever seen people try to fix a fight so blatantly? And if the policies that, you know, you know, the Trump administration is implementing are working, then you wouldn't have to fight so hard to try to fix these fights.

[Morgan Wood]

It's definitely given. Scared to lose.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Morgan Wood]

You know, you know, at this point, they're up. So that's, that's that.

[DJ Envy]

And that's front page news now. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines wide open again. 800-5851-051. Call us up right now. Vent a little bit. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, good morning. What's your name?

[Caller]

Hey, good morning. I'm Sydney.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Sydney. Get it off your chest.

[Caller]

Yeah, yeah. I just need two things I have to get off my chest real quick. One, I'm up early because I'm a teacher, so I want to tell all the parents out there, I teach 8th graders to quit letting your kids smoke. Stop letting them smoke weed. Stop letting them do it before school. Definitely before school would stop letting them do it before they have any aspirations for their life. They have. Weed is an epic drug, Right? It makes you forget everything. It makes you relax. What do the kids need that for? Put them in. Because they say, oh, my child's anxious. Oh, this and that. Put them in a sport at eighth grade.

[Will]

Can I ask you a. Cast you a question? Can I ask you a question, ma'? Am, As a former child. As a former child, right.

[Caller]

Yes.

[Will]

Do you really think that they're telling their parents they're smoking weed before school?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And I bet you it's probably a big parent.

[Caller]

No, their parents tell us.

[Will]

Really?

[DJ Envy]

That's crazy.

[Caller]

Why are you letting your child smoke? And because they say so they're saving grace. Or they think that they're saving grace that. Oh, they smoke with me. Really? Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Wow, that's crazy. You said eighth grade, right?

[Caller]

Parents, stop. Yes, these are eighth graders.

[Will]

Well, they're breaking the law because, I mean, even in states that is legal, there's still a legal age to smoke weed. Like in New York City. I think the legal age for recreational use is 21.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Will]

So if these parents. So you need to. Where you at?

[Caller]

I want to give away my location.

[Will]

What state? Just tell us the state. What state? O h I o. I don't even know if it's legal in Ohio. Let me see if it's spelled recreation in Ohio. Hold on. I'm gonna look right now. Hold on.

[Jess Hilarious]

She spelled it like we can't spell.

[Caller]

I didn't mean to start nothing but. No, I'm just saying. No, no, no.

[Jess Hilarious]

This is definitely something that we need to be aware of.

[Will]

That's right. You're a teacher. You're a teacher.

[Caller]

I'm really upset.

[Will]

The legal age to purchase and consume marijuana in Ohio for recreational or medicinal purposes is 21. So it's your duty to tell on these parents.

[Caller]

Sorry, I'm about to. As you got through it, derailing my kids success.

[DJ Envy]

I wouldn't tell them. Tell on them. I would give him a warning first. I wouldn't tell on them right away.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let them, Let them.

[DJ Envy]

Let them fix up first because you don't want that kids going.

[Jess Hilarious]

These kids are going to grab it.

[Caller]

No, exactly.

[DJ Envy]

And that's what I am.

[Caller]

I don't want to take their parents away.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Caller]

However. You stink. You're hungry and you can't focus.

[Will]

She said you stink. She said you stink. You hungry and you can't focus?

[Caller]

First of all, why my room would be gone, son. Like, whatever. I'm like, oh, no, children, this is a problem.

[Will]

And don't listen to envy because envy be on this radio fronting for no reason. I don't understand why. Because, like, listen, if the parents are doing something that they don't got no business doing and you care about the future of the kids, then you should care about the future of the kids and tell the parent you're committing a crime and you're stunting your child's growth.

[DJ Envy]

I would give them a warning first. You don't want to take them. They'll take them kids away from their parents and then lock them parents up.

[Jess Hilarious]

But yo, they're encouraging something we do.

[Caller]

Remind them that we are mandated reporters. Yeah, we'll probably get to the police.

[Jess Hilarious]

This sounds like an ongoing problem. Ain't no warning.

[Caller]

They way past, like my entire class. It's just like a couple kids that I'm really worried about. I'm like, damn, you could be better if you want to get off the butt.

[Jess Hilarious]

Exactly.

[Will]

And it's child negligence. It's really child.

[DJ Envy]

I would do more truly.

[Caller]

Well, they think they're helping their kids by making them relax. And I'm just like, that's just. There's got to be other ways. Like act check.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, man. Their kids got the plug. That's what's going on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The kids got the plug.

[Jess Hilarious]

Bringing the good stuff home. And they like, all right, cool.

[DJ Envy]

You keep.

[Jess Hilarious]

I' ma let you smoke it with me if you keep supplying it.

[Caller]

Yep.

[Will]

And what? And What? And what parent is telling the teacher? Well, at least they doing it with me. It's still a crime. So if I go rob a store with my parent, that make it less of a crime?

[Jess Hilarious]

But they didn't smoke in their mind, right? They just smoke their brain cells away. So they like. No, that's cool. They doing it with me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

See, the problem is, it's a huge academic epidemic and definitely high schools. And the problem is, is them vapes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because you.

[DJ Envy]

And they can vape in the bathroom. They can vape all through the place. That's the biggest problem.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But.

[DJ Envy]

But thank you for being a teacher, Mama.

[Caller]

Oh, no problem. And one more thing I'd like to get off my chest. Please let couples do whatever they want. If the man wants to pay all the bills, cool. If the woman wants to pay all the bills, cool. I'm so sick of that rhetoric. Whatever those two people have in their contract, that's their contract.

[Will]

Damn.

[Caller]

Let people be.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, Mama.

[Will]

And she not. She not lying, man. I just. I'm just looking up some of the things, like the legal implications for you being a parent. You know, smoking with your child who's under the age of 21 can lead to child endangerment, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, which. Which results in criminal charges and loss of custody. So if you care about your child, you shouldn't be doing something like that with them, especially in eighth grade. And she's right about the health risk, brain development, respiratory issues, psychoactive effects. Come on, man. Come on. Do better, man.

[DJ Envy]

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

I'll be honest with you. I don't believe your story.

[DJ Envy]

The man said he blew his motive.

[Will]

He said he blew his motor on the way to go See his grandfather who got covet.

[Caller]

Granny. My granny.

[Will]

It's 20, 25. That might have moved me to five years ago.

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't believe it's out here.

[Will]

I don't believe this story now. All right, we'll send him some money.

[DJ Envy]

No, he said he wants some. He just wanted to spread some positivity.

[Will]

No, he didn't. He said he need a blessing. But do you listen from the universe, Blessing means prayer. What you mean? You mean some money, right?

[Caller]

Respectfully, I just want to put my cash back out.

[Will]

I wonder about you and envy sometimes. Especially you, Jess, because you from the hood. I know. Square ass Envy don't be. You know, he a white, but Dominican.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I know he don't be getting it.

[Jess Hilarious]

I was ready to pray for him.

[DJ Envy]

I thought he said blessed.

[Will]

I thought we were just gonna pray for him.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, I thought we was about to drop some words.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what I thought.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I mean, he probably do want you to pray for him, too. He going through something.

[DJ Envy]

But we pray for you, brother.

[Will]

His mother blew. His motor blew on the way to go see his grandmother, who got Covid. Come on, man. What that sound like to y' all in 2025, bro?

[DJ Envy]

Malik, I've been praying for you, bro.

[Will]

By the way, if you're more. If your motor blue, that's really the issue. And. And I would understand that, but he had that when he add the extra.

[Jess Hilarious]

Sauce because my grandmother got cold.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, Malik, I'm throw some prayers up for you, brother.

[Will]

But he can let him put his cash app out there.

[Jess Hilarious]

He hung up. Oh, he's still on the phone.

[DJ Envy]

Because I wanted to talk to him, I swear.

[Will]

Because Malik know he BS this morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God.

[Will]

Try to call up here with this sad voice. Hey, I want to talk to Justin Charlemagne for a second, man. You know what I'm saying? My motor. My motor blew on the way to go see my grandma when she got covered. You know what I'm saying? Like, come on, man.

[DJ Envy]

I can't pray for you now, Malik. They telling me I can't pray for you now either.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hello? Who's this?

[Caller]

Hello?

[DJ Envy]

Hey, what's your name?

[Caller]

Hey, my name is Whitney.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Whitney. Did your motor break on your way to go see your granny? Okay, just making sure. What's up? When you get off your chest.

[Caller]

Yeah. Okay. From 757, Angie.

[DJ Envy]

757.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What up?

[Caller]

Yeah, I just want to say good morning to you all. And I just wanted to make awareness of really, just to tell, like, the parents, let your kids know Whenever you're going through stuff. Because today is my mom birthday. She died from breast cancer three years ago. But she told me to last two weeks of her life. So I just wanna, like, you know, let her tell your grown kids what's going on with you, you know? Cause it still affects me to this day. So just like, don't be scared. You know what I'm saying? I just wanted to wish my mom a happy birthday. She would have been 67.

[Will]

Happy born day to your queen. That's real what you said though, man, a lot of older people be going through stuff and don't wanna say nothing. Cause they don't wanna stress the kids out or. But then I also think that they don't be wanting people to stress them out by, you know, constantly being like, you okay? You okay? You okay? But it's like, yo, tell us what's going on.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Caller]

Exactly. Yeah. Like, she didn't never want to be a burden, But I still wanted to know. Not the last two weeks, but I'm glad I got to enjoy her for the last two weeks.

[Will]

Damn.

[Caller]

So I'm just. I'm grateful for that.

[DJ Envy]

All right, Whitney. Well, have a good one.

[Caller]

All right. You all have a great morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All righty now.

[Jess Hilarious]

You too.

[DJ Envy]

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now we got the latest with Lauren coming up.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We do. So Kai Frost, he's the son of Kirk and Rashida Frost. He's been named as a suspect in a murder of an artist named T. Hood. But yesterday there was at all times report that came out reveal some new details. We gonna talk about it because people are going back and forth about whether this was self defense because of a domestic violence view or not.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, you gotta break that all down.

[DJ Envy]

They from Lovin Hip Hop too, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Gregory.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Rashida from Love and hip Hop. But y' all know Kai was on the show as well. All their kids have been on the show as well too.

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely. Jasmine, Kai, all of them.

[DJ Envy]

I'm gonna break that down next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Will]

Morning, everybody.

[DJ Envy]

It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Jess Hilarious]

Lauren becoming a straight thing.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Will]

She gets the details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Will]

She'd be having the latest on the beast.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Will]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a Little bit of everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Alrighty, y'. All. So there has been reports, a lot of reports about Kai Frost, who is the son of Kirk and Rashida from Love and Hip Hop, being a prime suspect in a murder of a guy named T. Hood. Now an update here is that the autopsy of T. Hood was released. Now this autopsy shows T. Hood was dating Tia, Was dating Jasmine, who was Kai's sister, who is the daughter of Kirk and Rashida.

[DJ Envy]

Okay?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now the autopsy shows that T. Hood was sh. In the back, the abdomen, the abdomen, the buttocks, the lower right and left thigh. Now the reason why people have been awaiting this autopsy is because there's been a back and forth about whether the shooting was in self defense or not. Because there's allegations and there's actually videos that have surfaced now of prior domestic violence between T. Hood and Jasmine. But in this incident, it has been, it has been reported to police by Kai and other people that were on the scene that it was a domestic violence dispute. And then Kai showed up. So they're trying to figure out what happened here. Now the police also are saying that this information is nothing that they did not know. They just had to wait for the autopsy to be able to talk about it. But it doesn't change anything either. They are still investigating this murder as a. As self defense. Now there have been no charges filed as of now, but Kai is a prime suspect.

[Jess Hilarious]

So she was dating. So Jasmine was dating T. Hood or whatever. A domestic violence situation, like. Right. But the, the family, the crazy thing, T. Hood's family has started posting that, you know, trying to prove that Jasmine was the aggressor. Like she was the one that was always trying to be physical. And all the videos showed that they posted was her telling him to leave, like he was recording her. She's screaming and cussing and all that, you know, but she never once struck him in the video. But, but there are videos that he, yeah, he put his hands on. He was beating the hell out the girl. You know what I mean? So those are videos that are online.

[DJ Envy]

So she called her brother to, to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come help her brother. Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, she had even. What, in one of the incidents one night, he had put his hands on her or whatever, right? She land in the bed, like just laying there on her phone. He come out the bathroom because it's recorded. He come out the bathroom or whatever. He just jump on her, started beating out and she. The thing about that is she texts his mother. It's other text messages that came out too. Like, she text his mother like, yo, your son keep putting his hands on me. I told him he had to leave and blah, blah, blah. And the mom just like, okay. She's like, he's not gonna have a place to stay no more. Like, I can't keep doing this. He. You know what I mean? So all the evidence, they're trying to prove that Jasmine was the aggressor, but, I mean, aggressor. But everything that is posted, it shows t. Hood just, you know, beating on it.

[Morgan Wood]

He.

[Jess Hilarious]

He was the physical aggressor.

[Will]

I haven't been following the story like that, but I did see her say that she didn't call her brothers to incite violence, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Will]

So.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And from what the. So the police are. They're still trying to figure out how that went down. But she has said that she also said too, that, like, as Jess mentioned, that because this was something that wasn't unnormal, her family knew what was going on. So anytime. And also, too, they all, like, they have different properties. This property is a property that Kirk owns. So they would be in and out of the houses with each other all the time, but anytime something was going on, they would do things. Like Kai would pick up the phone and call his mom, his dad, and say, hey, this is what's happening again, just to let everybody know what was going on. So even when this happened, from what I'm told from a source close to the Kirk and Rashida, is that they knew when it was happening. They knew it was happening because Kai picked up the phone and called them and said, hey, this is happening. I'm calling to let y' all know because this is just something that they have gotten used to.

[Will]

Tragic situation.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It is a very tragic situation. Yes.

[Will]

Yeah, very tragic. Use of the word unnormal, too. There's no such thing. But continue.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You said what?

[Will]

Nothing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay. In other news, switching gears. So I heard you guys talking about Tank Javonte, Tank Davis and Jake Paul this morning.

[Will]

It's a very unnormal fight.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Very unnormal fight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Whoa.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, people have been waiting to see what his next fight was going to be. As you guys mentioned, a lot of people thought that it was going to be Levine, Lamont Roach Jr.

[Will]

It should have been Lamont Rose Jr. Lamont Rose Jr. Absolutely deserves a rematch. That whole fight deserves a rematch.

[DJ Envy]

I thought it was in stone. I thought they agreed, but I guess not, right?

[Will]

Well, you know, after the first fight, if Tank would have beaten Roach, they was going to line up the Jake Paul fight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[Will]

That's why Jake Paul was at the fight.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, and but even when people saw Jake Paul at the fight and that those reports were circulating, people were saying then if, if Tank took that fight and didn't redo this, that it looks crazy for him. Because it's like a lot of people still don't even consider the Paul brothers like real fighters, which is at this point, they fought real people, so y' all might as well just give that to them.

[DJ Envy]

But there's something special about folks who come through without being asked. Like your coworker surprising you with your favorite coffee just because.

[Jess Hilarious]

Real people.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Real like fighters. I mean, real fighters. But Lamont Roach posted on X and when the news broke and he said, told y' all laugh out loud with four ducks. So he's saying Javante is, is ducking him.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And then Ryan Garcia got online. Yeah, because you know he comes online. So he got online and said boxing is officially the WWE with the Devonte vs. Jake Paul fight. A heavyweight is fighting a lightweight. And y', all, and you were supposed to believe that it's a fair fight. If you know anything about boxing, you can see it's a disgrace.

[Will]

Well, listen, Tank's gonna make Jake Paul look silly in the ring just because Tank's boxing ability is better. But I don't even have a problem with these guys going to get their money in these high profile fights. But get back to chasing greatness after that. Okay, if you go get your money, that 40 million you're getting from Jake Paul, line up the rematch with Lamont Roach. You beat Lamont Roach. Get in the ring with Low Tiafimo Lopez. Get in the ring with Devin Haney. Get in the ring with Shakur Stevenson. I need to see Tank chase greatness, not just the money, but he's over it though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He been saying he went out of it. He over it.

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't know. I guess with all the legal disputes to mean. Anybody would say that, right? But my thing is like it, you, it's, it's a disrespect. It's disrespectful to the boxing sport. Right. So I, I'm expecting for people to be upset. You got like boxes that's like for real really about this. And I do agree with what Ryan is saying because Tank already gets so much money per fight or whatever.

[Will]

Oh, not like this though.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Will]

This is biggest payday ever, clearly. This 40 million. I think I heard he's getting 40 million. It's not even just his biggest payday ever.

[DJ Envy]

He's 30 0, right? He's 28 knockouts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

He's probably what made 10 million a fight. That's probably one of his highest. The fact that he can make 40 plus million in this fight.

[Will]

I have no problem going to get your money.

[DJ Envy]

Retire. Because he puts his life on the line every time he gets into the ring. And people keep saying, chase legacy. I would do this fight and then he can go back.

[Will]

But, but that's what I just said. I have no problem with him going to get his paper. He probably almost messed up his bag because he almost lost the Roach last fight. Go get your money. But after you get your paper, after you chase this paper, go back to chasing greatness. Shakur Stevenson is out there. Devin Haney is out there. Teofimo Lopez is out there. You gotta get the rematch with Lamar Rose Jr. Go get that money, but then go back to chasing greatness.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I just feel like though, at the same time, it's all for entertainment as well.

[Will]

And really?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. I'm just saying it because it hasn't been said yet. I'm saying it because it hasn't been said yet. And people. People come at anybody that gets in the ring with the Paul brothers, but people want to see them. Like they. They want to see it.

[Jess Hilarious]

So if you go, they have a big man. Boys been doing a they thing, so they have a big play. Like, my son is excited about this fight because he likes the Paul brothers, not because he likes Tank.

[Will]

Oh, I'm watching. I'm watching because I like the entertainment of it all, but I'm definitely watching.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm just simply saying it's gonna be on. Where is that Netflix?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. On November 14th. Friday, November 14th.

[DJ Envy]

Get your money now. Let's get your money.

[Will]

Get your money. But then after you get your money, go back. Go Chase legacy, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you want to see this, all.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right, this is what I'm saying about this. Then get out of here. Yeah, get your money. And then Chase legacy. But it's like, yo, what if you really get hurt in one of these fights?

[DJ Envy]

Because that's my point.

[Jess Hilarious]

You trying to get the bread, but you got no treatment now. You got to retire. You got to sit down. You can't real box. I get what you saying, yo, but okay, you just never know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But you gonna bet on that, Charlamagne, you betting on it.

[DJ Envy]

I don't gamble in any match. You could get hurt.

[Will]

Oh, God.

[DJ Envy]

But like you said, $40 million.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Take that.

[DJ Envy]

But I'm not mad at him.

[Will]

It's not the. Tank is not getting hurt against Jake Paul in no way, shape or form.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, that is the latest with Laura. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. And then comedian Ali Siddiq will be joining us. So we'll talk to Ali Siddiq when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne. The we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. What's up, Morgan?

[Will]

Hey, y'. All.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hey.

[Morgan Wood]

All right, let's get into a quick weather update on Hurricane Aaron. Now, storm surge warnings are in effect along the outer banks of North Carolina as Hurricane Aaron moves across the Atlantic. It's now a category category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds over 100 miles an hour and just 200 miles off the coast. Now, the National Hurricane center says tropical storm conditions are already being felt in North Carolina's Outer Banks and evacuations have also been issued for that region and will also spread north to the Virginia coastline. Those outer bands, excuse me, those, those outer conditions that are being felt from that hurricane. Now, forecasters are also warning of coastal flooding across the region, as well as dangerous surf and potentially deadly rip currents. Now, tropical storm conditions could be possible through Friday from the mid Atlantic coast to southern New England. So we are still dealing with the outer bands of Hurricane Aaron. A lot of people I think, are thinking because the hurricane is not making landfall, that it may not impact. But as if you just turn on your tv, you'll see that North Carolina is being impacted, there's flooding going on, and the surf is pretty dangerous along the coast between New Jersey, New York, even here in Maryland. So just stay safe as we deal with some of that weather. Elsewhere in presidential news, President Trump's takeover of the nation's capital continues. Yesterday, Vice President J.D. vance went to Union Station in Washington, D.C. to meet with and hand out burgers to National Guard troops. He was thanking them. He was also joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. In a post on social media, VP Vance shared that he was glad he could stop by and thank countless National Guardsmen and for busting their asses to clean up our nation's capital. Let's take a listen to Vice President J.D. vance's comments.

[DJ Envy]

In just the past nine days, we've seen a 35% reduction in violent crime.

[Will]

We've seen over a 50% reduction in robberies. We are seeing really substantial effects because.

[DJ Envy]

These guys are busting their ass. So I want to come here, highlight what they're doing, say thank you in person, obviously pass out a few burglaries. But most of all, just in the best to see American people. Look, we don't have to live like this. We do not have to allow our.

[Will]

Cities to be taken over by violence and by disorder and by chaos.

[DJ Envy]

You can actually do stuff. You can actually bring, you can actually bring law and order to communities.

[Will]

You've just got to have the political willpower to do it. All they do, all they're doing is taking credit for statistics that they ignored prior to them sending the National Garden. Like, you know, those statistics were showing that crime was going down in D.C. prior. So now that they sent the National Guard and they're just taking credit for the, those statistics.

[Morgan Wood]

Yeah. Well, during his visit, JD Vance and Pete Hegseth and Miller, they were met with some protesters who were out outside chanting Free DC And Vance had some interesting things to say about those protesters. Let's take a listen to those comments.

[Will]

We talk about human rights.

[DJ Envy]

We hear these people outside screaming, Free D.C. let's free D.C. from lawlessness. Let's free Washington, D.C. from one of the highest murder rates in the entire world. Let's free Washington, D.C. so that young families can walk around and feel safe and secure. That's what we're trying to free DC From. And as Steven said, it's kind of bizarre that we have a bunch of old, primarily white people who are out there protesting the policies that keep people safe when they've never felt danger in their entire lives.

[Will]

What does Big Balls think about all of this, Morgan? Has Big Balls commented about any of this? Because, you know, Big Balls is the reason Big Balls. Big Balls is the reason all of this is happening. Big Balls used to work for Doge, and Big Balls got beat up in D.C. big balls. Has he made any comments about this?

[Morgan Wood]

He has not come out to say anything about this, actually. But Miller also went on to say that the protesters were white hippies. They're over 90, and they need to go home and take a nap because they have no connection to the city. But, you know, Rose weighed in on it as well, suggesting that white liberals are racist in a post on social media now, she said, Amber Rose wrote in a post that white liberals don't care about black people. Most of the violent crimes in D.C. are in black neighborhoods. What about the mothers, aunties, grandmoms, and children that just want to feel safe walking outside? Why don't they want the good people of D.C. why do they want the good people of. Of D.C. living in violence? Racist much? So.

[Will]

So what do you think about that, Morgan? You from D.C. what do you think about that? And I was gonna ask you that, like, you know, as a person that's from D.C. what do you. What do you think about what the National Guard is doing? Because people in D.C. did say the crime was bad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Morgan Wood]

Well, that's. Again, so the crime, you know, the crime is. Is what it is in any city, right? Or anywhere that you're at.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You.

[Morgan Wood]

You know, it depends on where you are. I could be in Alabama and feel unsafe because I'm black.

[Will]

No, but, Morgan, you in D.C. i want to talk to you about D.C.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, so talk to me about.

[Morgan Wood]

D.C. like I said the other day, the sentiment is. As someone. I will say that I. Yes, I grew up in D.C. but I live in Maryland now. The sentiment is for those of us who are in the region. And on the Maryland and Virginia side, we're not coming into the city right now to party and have fun and do extra unless it's. Unless it's requirement for work, you're going to church. You know, you got extracurriculars out there. You got family out there. Otherwise, there's no real extracurriculars happening in the District. Those who are in the city, those who are black and brown who are in the city are not new to this. They true to this. They're not scared of anything political going on. They're going to continue.

[Will]

I was talking about the crime, though.

[DJ Envy]

Like, she can't go do her nightlife stuff.

[Will]

Extracurricular activities was like. Because I heard people from D.C. say, look, crime was bad. I don't know if it's send the National Guard in bad.

[Morgan Wood]

Oh, it's definitely not send the National Guard in bad. Like, let's be clear, like, you don't need to militarize the residents of the District. Like, I mean, they don't need military. You don't need military. A force of that magnitude to.

[Will]

To.

[Morgan Wood]

To deal with what's going on in. In. In the city. And to the point that is being made across this whole situation, these guys aren't trained for someone who's breaking into your car.

[Lauren LaRosa]

These.

[Morgan Wood]

They're not trained for someone who's, you know, so it's not. It's not one of those things that their presence is making it that much better. You know, it's. It's just one of those things that, yeah, maybe crime may be down because nobody wants to go outside right now. Like, but, like, it's not one of those things that is like, oh, their presence is. It's warm and it's heartfelt, and I feel so much safer because they're in the city.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's.

[Morgan Wood]

That's. That's not. It's not necessarily needed is what I'm getting at. The bottom line is, you know, to have the dea, the FBI, you got atf, you got National Guard. Like, that's a bit much. That's a bit much.

[DJ Envy]

Well, thank you, Morgan.

[Morgan Wood]

All right, y', all. So let me just wrap up. I wanted to talk about immigration with Kristi Noem. Don't got time for that. And the CEO of Target is stepping down, but I won't get too much into that. We'll talk about that another day. That's your front page news. I'm Morgan Wood. Y' all can follow me on socials at morganmedia and for more news coverage.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you. All right, when we come back, we have comedian Ali Sadiq. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's DJ Envy.

[DJ Envy]

Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Roses here as well. We got a special guest in the building.

[Will]

Yes, indeed, Ali Deke.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Welcome, brother. Thank y' all for having me back. I'm good, man.

[DJ Envy]

Got a tour. He said in the Shadows tour kicks off August 22nd in Atlantic City.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yep. We back on it. You know, I took six weeks off and now I'm coming back. So. Yeah.

[Will]

How much do you write, Ali?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God, man. Every.

[Will]

Every other day it gotta be, right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, every other day.

[Will]

Cuz I was watching Two Sons, Two Suns is an hour and 20.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that. That was. That's the easy part about my family because I. I know them, you know, I don't have. I don't have to really write nothing with that. I just have to structure it, you know, how I must. How I' ma say it. And then, you know, Rugged was a little bit more programmed and I had to really write out rugged to know which stories I was going to say and how I was going to say them. And the timeline. Cause I try to write everything in chronological order. Yeah. So, you know, that's the. That's the. And that's the hard part.

[Caller]

Water.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If I. If I forget a story, then I gotta go back. Now it's like this lying because it don't match the timeline.

[Will]

So when you go out on the in the Shadows tour, how much of that material do you use? Or you just leave all of that on YouTube and you just got something brand new.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So in the Shadows now is the. The new special that I'm shooting in February in D.C. okay. So I'm gonna shoot three new specials in February in DC. I just shot three in Detroit in October. So we got five specials in the can that we can drive.

[DJ Envy]

That much material.

[Jess Hilarious]

Damn, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Jesus. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

When do you get time to. Do you have to practice your material?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cause like most the comedians was like.

[DJ Envy]

Let me try this out for you.

[Will]

And you gotta live life too. Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The thing is, I'm on the road. It's 100 city tour, so I'm gonna take the first 30 cities and work the stories. And then by the time I get to city number 40, that's when we shooting Gotcha. I'm saying. So I'MMA work all these. We got 44 dates, 44 theaters after. You know, I do Albany on Wednesday because I. When you take. When you take time off, you have to go to the minor leagues first, you know, to come back. Come back because I've been. I was. My how my stories line up was kind of off a little bit. I was forgetting major parts of the story. I'm like, wow, I wasn't supposed to say that yet.

[Jess Hilarious]

And people notice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They like, hey, no, you can't go. And then I had to start saying something like, let me.

[Will]

Hey.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's part that I forgot to tell y', all.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it works because I tell stories. So it's. I'm so connected to my audience that they wait for it, you know, like it. And it's a. It's a very special thing that I really. That I really think is cool because, you know, I transitioned after I've been doing stand up 28 years in December. It'll be 28 years in December. So now I'm recant. I'm going into. Knew how I got to this point now in the new specials, how I even started. Because people will say that somebody wrote years ago that I started in prison. And I try to. And I keep trying to clean this up. I did not start in prison. There's no comedy clubs.

[DJ Envy]

That's not what this paper says. This paper says right here, most people work out in prison.

[Will]

But you did comedy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's your first show. Somebody, I don't know who wrote that initially, and it's been stuck ticket. So every time I get to interview. So you starting in prison, man, there's no comedy club between the child hall and the Rick yard. Well, I'm like, yo, everybody come in here. I'm gonna get it done. No, it was more like I. The first two years I was wilding. I. I give. I give it that I was. I was on prison time trying to survive. It wasn't even surviving.

[DJ Envy]

It was wilding in prison.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay? So they used to have this. They used to have a mop bucket with the handle. Me and probably some other people are the reason they took the handle off. So the Mexicans would cut the handle off and turn it into knives. I got into it with a dude, and I dropped him. And then I went to the third floor. I was so mad. I was wild. I went to the third floor and I filled the mop bucket up with water and I dropped it down on it.

[Jess Hilarious]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So. Huh.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The water was hot.

[Will]

No, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The bucket full of water I dropped the bucket and everything on. And to do that, you got to have a handle. Just doing it like, this is a little awkward, but, yeah, I was. I was on one. I was. I was. For you to do that, man, if.

[DJ Envy]

You say you stole your chips or.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Something, I'm like, damn. I. I had a problem with people talking reckless. Like, that's why I didn't play dominoes, because, see, people. People lose their mouth in dominoes. So we playing. I. And I told him, I said, hey, man, I don't want to play because y' all don't know how to talk. Right, right, man. Now we ain't gonna say nothing. So then we. We playing dominoes, and I call 10. And then the next thing I know, ah, 10 inches in you. And then I just got. Don't even worry about it. Don't even worry about it. Don't even. See, this is what I said. I said, we. I don't do this. And I just. Man, I lost it. And. And people knew. People was like, like, ow, boy, you about to. You about. You might want to go put your boots on. Cause this little boy is a wild man. And I like. And I figured out, see, you see how you laugh? See, I can't take all that. And, and the thing is, I, I. I figured out that most people can't fight hand in hand. I've been boxing since I was 6. It don't matter how big you are. I ain't got no weight class. You know what I'm saying? It's like, if you trying to do something, let's do it. But in there, you have to check somebody chin, you know what I'm saying? About everything. And it just came too much. Came too much for me. So about two years in his old head told me, he said, yo, man, you can't keep living like this. Because I was like, yo, I would be on that basketball court. And this is where I say 85 of my fight start on that court. I'm saying, get undercutted. We. We doing. I'm. I'm doing you dirty on that court. And all of a sudden, your mouth went crazy. And I just. All right, no, no, I'm. I'm waiting. I'm like, as soon as we get back to this block, lock is. Is on. And I just bust you in your head a can of. A can of tuna and two and a pair of socks. Oh, you can get the work done.

[Will]

We used to do that with locks in high school. Put the lock put.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you put your lock on your Belt the compilation. Now, you put that on the loop of your belt. Yeah, the swing. The swing is pretty good, too, though. I mean, you gotta rapid. The swing is. Swing is pretty good. So when you got home, wow.

[DJ Envy]

All those people that you beat up in jail, they never came back at you never seen them at your shows.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Be like, you remember me? I'm the one that. Man, you know, it's wild. It's more dudes that I beat up in high school that be on one than anything. I was just. And at this function I had. I'm gonna say this publicly because I always say if you. If you disrespect somebody loud, you gotta.

[Will]

Your homeboy behind.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You gotta. You gotta apologize. You gotta apologize loud. So DJ Scratch, I'm quite sure you know him. I'm. It's my last day of vacation. I'm having a good time.

[Caller]

Time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then he. He's back there doing his mix. I'm like. And I'm on the mic. I don't want to hear that. I want to hear everything from the South. I don't hear nothing. All that. I don't want hear none of it.

[Jess Hilarious]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And Scarface is like, yo, the legendary Scratch. Yeah, okay. And. And Scarface like this. Yo, Lee Chub Rockets on the side, like, oh, it's on. So he DJing. I don't want to hear this. I want one. I don't hear nothing. East coast, because y' all don't play enough south up here for me. So I'm like, I don't want to be. I don't want to be at 50, 15 in the south. I'm in Houston on my block, and I'm hearing none of it.

[Will]

Allow me to reach.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I'm wilding. And Scratch is like, yo, he stopped at me. Yo, you dang. Hearing the transitions. I don't care nothing about that. Play Fat Pack Luke. Damn Slim Pow Wow. You know what I'm saying? Going back and forth on the mic and how that stopped Scarface just looking at me like. Because he brought. He the one brought me over there. I was at a whole nother club having a good time. He said, yo, Lee, come over. It's the Willow Ridge reunion. 90s reunion. Lee, come over here. Da da, da da. So me Special Ed and B. Fine and Chubb Rock, we walk over, and soon as I heard the transition, I was like, I don't want it. I don't want it. And Scrappy was like, yo, man, what did you do? You talking all over my stuff. Like, man, I don't give a damn about that. And, But I want to apologize. No, no. I wrote him a text. He'll show people the text. I wrote him. I, I, Yo, I'm talking the next day, my man was like, yo, boy, you was on one that made. And he showed me the video. I said, man, let me, let me scratch you. I said, yo, bro, my apologies, man. I was on one.

[DJ Envy]

We're still kicking with Ali, Sadiq, Speaker.

[Jess Hilarious]

Jesse, what made you become a comedian?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Me wanting people to be happy and learn from stuff that I was saying was kind of my, my push. Because when people say I started in prison, I was on close custody. They, they made me the SSI on closed custody. And they had no tv. And so when I was working over there, these boys been locked. They lock up 23 hours a day. They get out just to shower. And they've been back there a long time. And it started with me just wanting them to have a food hot. You know, they would bring this food and it would be cold. And I, and I always knew this is why they be over here tripping because y' all don't give them no clean clothes. And because the difference with clean clothes in the prisons like this. So I, because I'm not on close cousin, I have the ability to go in there and, and lobby for some brand new underwear. This is when I knew I was never going back to prison. Because they. All your underwear is in a warehouse. You know, they, they wash them all together. So then you, when you get out of the shower, they just throw you underwear. And several people didn't wore these underwear. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So you get some new ones straight out the box. They will never see the laundry again. You keep them and you wash them out yourself. So they was giving these dudes the worst underwear because I had to pass all their stuff. I'm like, yo. I'd be like, yo, oh, no. Somebody that blew the satchel off these. Wow. Yo, who knew Some larger. But so I went to the laundry. I'm like, yo, man, let me get a box of them clean underwear, man, for these dudes. You know what I'm saying? Let me make sure they food hot.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because y' all not. What y' all not gonna do is throw defecation on me. Like he was doing the residue. And they was only doing that because they was getting mistreated. So I started letting them read the paper because I had, I would read the paper every day, let them read the paper. Then I started telling them what was going on in the unit. And since they had no tv, this is, this is my. This is my contribution. I would watch Martin so intense hands because I was gonna go back and reenact the whole episode for them because they ain't had no tv. So after Martin went off, I didn't have nothing to give him. So I just started doing commentary about what was going on in the rest of the prison. I sit there with their broomstick and be like, yo, it's all three runs and they on the ball. What. What. What else happened? And so.

[Jess Hilarious]

So you did start calling me in prison.

[Will]

Yeah, that's where the room.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's where it was at.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But that's the. Not starting. I started just joking. Comedy Cafe. That wasn't. That wasn't stand. This is me just telling stories. But I was, I was very.

[Will]

Man, that's you doing your whole style of storytelling. You're not a punchline person.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You just story tell.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that I, I just, you know, reenact the situation. But.

[Will]

It just hit Ali like, damn, I did start.

[Jess Hilarious]

I wasn't getting paid for the. So it wasn't comedy then.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah, you wasn't getting no check. You know, so the, the other thing about it. So people would say that I was funny because I would stop a lot of altercations. Like after the first two years of me wiling, my whole mindset was, now, if you want to get beat up, don't go to school. And everybody know that it's about me. Hey, I' ma come to you. Hey, bro, you what your education looking like? Because if you stay in here and you just doing prison stuff, when you get in the world, you're gonna be back. So you might want to get a ged, you might want to get the trade or something. Something. Because if you don't, everybody else on this block goes to school to do a trade. You gonna be stealing, you're gonna be still out. People lock them. I don't want you to get killed, bro. And go to school. And if you don't, bro, you know, you know, it's just a fight gonna come with this. And you, you're just not gonna fight me. You gonna fight Mitch, you gonna fight Brian. You're gonna. And everybody like, yeah, bro, we go to school over here. This is the mandate date. When we was on tour race unit, you had to go to school because if you didn't, your. Your mind is going to drift into something crazy. But when people tried to fight, I would just rationally just come over. I'm like, hey, y'. All. Y' all about to fight. I leave, man, what you want? I said, bro, I'm. I'm just. Can I ask a question? Damn, y' all so hostile. So I just want to ask. Okay, y' all about to fight. Which one of y' all are willing to lose this fight twice? Twice? What the hell you talking about? I said. Cause one of y' all gonna win. One of y' all gonna win for sure. And then the CEOs are gonna come in and beat the out of both y'. All. So who want to lose?

[Will]

Dang, twice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People start laughing, then they start thinking about, like, yeah, that's what's gonna happen. Like, yo, unless it's something major, bruh, it. It. It's not worth it. Because MCOs, man, you know, it's. I always think about it like this. On Bugs Bunny, when he would hit that dude on the head, he asked you, how many lumps you want? One or two? They gonna give you six. Damn, that's thick. That's thick. And them choking you out and all that. And I just be sitting there. Look. Look at you now. Now, look at you getting choked. Now, I told you over there, you ain't had to get all that. You ain't had to get drugged out. You looking bad, fam. And when they bring you back, you're like, look at your head. And I ain't gonna. And I ain't gonna ease up. I'm like, look at your head. But see, I. I warned you.

[Jess Hilarious]

So you went from the one wiling to teaching the Wilders not to while out, right? And then you also seem like you did a lot of, like, mental work on yourself as well. Like, what makes you angry now? Like, does anything make you mad?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, man, this is. This is where the work really happened.

[Morgan Wood]

Founding partner of I Heart Women's Sports.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm Noah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm 13 and as you might have seen from the news, I got a podcast and I explain those fake headlines like your uncle would, like your cousin would if he actually did the research. Honestly, adults don't Ask the right questions now, you know with Noah de Barrasso is a show about influence. Who's got it, how they use it, and what it means. For the rest of you, it's not the news. It's what the news should be if someone Gen Z or Gen Alpha made it. When I'm watching everything.

[Morgan Wood]

Majority of the.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Youth 18 through 24 say they trust Republicans more than Democrats from the economy.

[Will]

You kidding me?

[Jess Hilarious]

Politics is wild.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

After that, years later right now, scratch. That was, that was. I was just wild. But this is what makes me upset now that I'm trapped in this prison of always having to let sucker dudes make it. I'm saying, you know, it's always Ollie, you better than that. But that's the, that's the problem why dudes keep being suckers because they always. Somebody always talking somebody down from, you know, putting hands on. So it just irritates me that people can just say something so crazy and then people start being on their side without no facts. And you like, like, yeah, and, and I can say I'm cool, but I don't see you. Then when I see you, I don't think you know what on, on site mean. Yeah, I, and I don't think that you, these dudes that be talking Dick Gregory in that book told me this. Yo, man, these people you going, bro, you gonna make it if you can control your attitude because of this. Ladies are industry people. That's playing something. I was this in the 80s. I'm saying I was a, I was a formidable opponent in the 80s. Then when I got busted in the early 90s, this is. I was already in the streets way before New Jack City. A movie didn't make me be in the streets. So. And what I did inside, man, I, I really, I really gotta pray for people and, and, and cry for people, people. Because I'm like, yo, man, what I do to you, you, you like, you don't really, you don't really understand because I've already done it. Like, I'm not, I'm not playing with you. And you don't have like in this On My Children. You really don't have enough people to stop me from doing something to you. You really, I Don't care nothing about your security, bro. I don't care nothing about none of that. But what has to keep me together is me. I have to. I have. My children have to come into my head. It's been one time I let somebody puppeteer me to so much violence that I was going to do something. This whole family, and it wasn't no secret. Like, they see me and I'm telling them, yo, listen, yo, people started this with me and I'm by myself. I'm not coming with, man. I ain't got no man, man. Man.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He is here for the people, not for me to save me from myself because I will get out there and he know me. I'm not gonna say nothing.

[DJ Envy]

I was still kicking it with comedian Ali Sadiq Lauren.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I guess I do have one question. You know, you said you don't want to talk about it much. What has the conversation that Cat Williams is having done to you because you're so successful in booking all the shows and making all the money. So, like, what does him clearing up anything do for you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You. It's not about him cleaning up. It's about the lie that's being told on you. You know, it don't work for me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's about the opening of the show versus, like, how that happened. You've been on the show.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

On what show?

[Lauren LaRosa]

So there wasn't the conversation that you. You had a contract with the club, which is how you were opening.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See, see, you saying that's the.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, that's the lie you're saying.

[Will]

I don't even know the story.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So that stuff.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's the lie.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So the story that from what he said and what I read was that he was saying that you only opened up for him because you had a contract with the club, not because it was something that was a part orchestrated within the show.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Then why. And that's the. And watch this. Nobody is smart enough to say, well, why would he have to pay him then if. If I had a contract with the club, with the. With the venue, why would he have to pay me if you already.

[Jess Hilarious]

If he already came.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If never cash a check. But why would he have to give me a check if I have a contract with the venue? I've never had a contract with no venue to open up. That's why you never find another comic that said, oh, he opened up for me at the Relying Arena. I've never even opened up for nobody there. So the lie is he had a contract with the venue. That's why he was there. At first, I wasn't on this. The other. The other version, I wouldn't even own the show. So now I'm on the show. But it's because of this. Then it's the. The lie is I walked into the green room and told his whole crew, I'm doing 30 minutes and ain't now none of y' all can follow me. You talking about who don't even talk. Talk to nobody at the shows. And who are the five people? Now you got to get your crew to lie, to be. Still be a part of your crew. To say who the five people? Ashima Franklin ain't gonna say that. She ain't gonna say that because that's a lie. Which. Which is what? Which. What is your problem? Which one is the problem? At first you didn't know me. Now I got a contract with the venue. Where you get that from? You just pulling out your ass to try to yourself, make look better because you don't want that ass whooping that I asked you for because I don't even understand. Then you said you put me out of the club. You didn't put me out. I walked out to get my. My partner ghetto. And they wouldn't let me back in. But I performed for two nights. That's the confusing part. But if I. If I had a contract with the venue, wouldn't the venue pay me?

[Jess Hilarious]

And let you back in?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And let me back in. Why would I be there? Say route mouth. Come open this door.

[Will]

Did you really not cash the check Cat gave you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, I threw that trash.

[Will]

How much was it?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Fifteen hundred dollars.

[Will]

That's a lot of money. That's a stimmy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It wasn't a lot of money for me, man. I was. I was only there because I was asked to be there. If I wasn't asked to be there, I would have never came there. Oh, and the other part of the story was I came there and I was looking to perform. Looking to perform in Houston. Why would I be looking to perform? No, not when that was this. And then what's crazy is he's saying it as if this is modern day. This is in 2000. 14, 15. Before you had all the crew with you. Then we don't know each other. Right? It's not even about us not knowing each other, but if people go back to Prayer. View. View A M university. Damn near 2000, what, four or five. It's me, Cat and Alex Thomas performing there. Thousand kids with pictures. Before that, we in Shreveport. Like, I don't even Understand what it. And be. And prior to that, when your name was Cat in the Hat, I booked you and Rodney Perry at my comedy spot because I heard that. That you wasn't doing that well. And then I. I reached out. Out Sharon Ball. Want to tell anybody? He faxed me his head shot. You know what a fax head shot look like? It's just like a, a, a. A blurred copy of you with a hat, a top hat on and a cane.

[Jess Hilarious]

He faxed it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Early 2000. Oh, okay. And. And I never told the story because I couldn't remember who the other comic was. And me and Rodney Perry end up talking, and Rodney's like, man, I don't even understand this because it was. Was me. You. And I said, what. What. What you talking about, Ronnie? He said, yeah, you booked us at this spot called Cloud9. You was doing this thing called Uptown Saturday Night. I said, goddamn, Rodney Perry. You were the. The other comic. So I didn't. I didn't even understand.

[DJ Envy]

I'm confused. I don't even know where it started. Like, where did. Where did it start from?

[Lauren LaRosa]

It started from the. Was there any.

[Will]

It started from me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He accepted. If you challenge Kevin to a boxing match, somebody who is doing whatever he's doing, he got time for you. Why don't you let me get that match for that million dollars? Because I got time, and I wanna. I wanna solve this. That. That happened at the Houston Reliant Arena.

[Will]

This. What you said on Shay Shay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is what I. This is what I said on Shay Shay. This is what I said. Because my story ain't changed. Changed since it happened.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, but it was the show and then it was the boxing match conversation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it was the boxing match first.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, I thought the boxing match happened after.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, and then. Then it's all this. This ridiculousness about this show. I'm like, bruh, he said that on. Yeah, but he was on Willie D first with a whole nother story.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, all these stories. I ain't gonna unbox you either, bro.

[Will]

Why would I put you all on the phone together?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, he offered to, though, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, and I want to be. Be there because I don't trust you. I said, man, you can trust me. I'm not gonna. I'm. And I'm not. I just want to see what it is, though, because now. And now you didn't say something way out of pocket. And I'm like, okay. I say so. And then you said, what do you say? On site mean, on site. Stop it.

[Will]

I don't want to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like yeah, bro, stop it. You know what I'm saying? And like yo, man, man. And at my worst, at my worst. Hey man, bro, you. This is. I'm with, I'm with whatever, the ring or the street. But I would prefer in that ring.

[Will]

You can't beat him in a race though.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, man, I don't give a damn about that fast. You got to be. When you run, you got to be.

[Will]

Listen, go get, go get tickets to Isabel's tour. In the Shadows tour. So where did they go for the tickets, Alex?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man, I go to Alicedique.com or go to Ali Steak Comedy on YouTube or go to Ticketmaster, you know, wherever tickets are sold. You know, that's one thing about selling tickets. People, people call you as if they ain't never been no concert. Man, I get tickets to your show the same way you got tickets to Eric Benet show. I saw you. I saw you moving your hips and Eric Bennet show. Now all of a sudden you don't know how to get tickets.

[Will]

Cause you know me device at the same website.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Oh, you can get on Amazon. It should be on Charlotte Maine's thing because you know, because everything he do is the best seller. Can I, can I get my pamphlet to be a bestseller?

[Will]

You don't want the pamphlet. But what we gonna do is. I said no. No. Check your email right now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sick of this. All right. I signed your book and everything. No, this is.

[Will]

Man, cut it out, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's supposed to be a quick read for people cuz, you know, people don't read no long ass books. Exactly.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm talking about a long ass book every day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When I. When I see him talking about these are the best sellers right here. I'm like who read them big ass books? You just give it to us. You going to make it a mess of that big ass encyclopedia. Ooh, read Envy Got over that by he like I read. I read the introduction. He read that book.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

It's the Breakfast Club.

[Will]

Good morning.

[Jess Hilarious]

You idiot.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Scratch.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I apologize.

[Will]

Speaking of which, the Black Family who Built America by Cheryl McKissick Daniel is available everywhere. You buy books now courtesy me. Courtesy of my book imprint. But Black Privilege Publishing with sign another big ass book. That's it's actually not. It's only about 250 pages compared to his brochure. Oh yeah. Come on.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Shady things. But that's right. It's shady. If I shady.

[Will]

I wasn't even trying to be. That wasn't shade. I was being honest. It's a quick read.

[DJ Envy]

Well, let's get to the latest.

[Jess Hilarious]

Lauren becoming a street fan.

[Will]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. Details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Will]

She be having the latest on this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Will]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Eve is saying or has said in her memoir. Who's that girl? That memoir. Sorry, whatever. It really is memoir.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Go ahead.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I say biopic wrong too. Biopic.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Biopic.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So Eve is saying that dating Suge Knight, which people did not know to how happen, dating Knight hurt her relationship with Interscope. So in the book, she talks about meeting S.H. knight and dating her for a short period of time. So they met back in 2001. This was when Eve was co hosting the Soul Train Awards with Luther Vandross and Shemar Moore. And she says that she found out that Suge Knight was going to be in the building, so she asked someone to introduce them when she. When she. Right. So she made the move. So when she was introduced to him, she went up to him and she said, hey, I'm Eve. I've been wanting to meet you. Now, this was all following her fallout with Dr. Dr. Dre and aftermath. So for those who don't know, Eve was signed to Aftermath, she was dropped after only eight months, right around the time when Eminem was signed. And she says that has always been a thing for her because she said it humbled her. So she thought that this could be revenge. The direct quote from the book, it said, says, I knew what I had to do. She says that she was still in her little mood about Dr. Dre, even though they had made a solid hit together. So having shook his former boss at Death Row Row, stomping around Interscope felt like some sweet revenge. I'm not really sure how I concocted this idea yet. Here we are. So what happened was after the introduction at the award show, they went out to eat in LA and they began courting each other. She was talking to Suge Knight about just some of her issues that she was having at Inter school. So he was like, okay, you know, I'll come up there and, you know, try and help you figure things out. He came, and it did not go over well with Jimmy. I. And she says that she believes to this day that Jimmy Iovine took that out on her when she released her third album, Question.

[Will]

Why is This a story now, because Eve. Who's that girl? Been out for months.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think people are just actually diving into the book and doing articles on it, so it's beginning to circulate. And I also think people just didn't know that the relationship happened. But yet.

[Will]

Who.

[Jess Hilarious]

This is new. Yeah, this is new to me.

[Will]

So you're saying niggas don't read is what you said.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I mean, I don't read everything, but. Well, it's different for us because Eve came up here, so we didn't talk about. I mean, we didn't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But in the book.

[Jess Hilarious]

Not a. Not out here reading about Eve, you know, I mean, I love her book is good. Yeah. But I. You would know that. You're an avid book reader. But I. I wouldn't know that, but I. Because I am a fan of Eve's hits back in the day. I mean, this was news to me. I'm like, okay, she used to date Shag Knight.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Will]

And.

[Jess Hilarious]

But did she ever date Dr. Dre, or was that just, like, a business thing that she tried to make?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, she was. She was signed to Aftermath, and she was basically, like. She was eager. She was trying to get in the studio. She wanted to work. He had signed him in Eminem, and he wasn't putting her in the studio, and she was dropped. And she said that it humbled her. Yeah, and she said it humbled her because she had to get back on the bus, go back home to Philly, back to her mom's crib after being signed to Dr. Dre and, you know, all the things. So it humbled her. So she kind of still had that there. So she made this move. Now, the reason why she decided to break it off with Suge Knight, it wasn't even because of the issues with Interscope. She says that it was more about her family. So DNY from Ruffer Riders came to her and was like, look, we see what's going on, but we don't like you running around with him. Like, we just don't. So she said, okay, I'm gonna take that into consideration, and we're not gonna date anymore. And when she called, Sug let him know. Even he agreed. Like, yeah, if you was my little sister, I would have told you that, too. And he hasn't commented on this yet, but y' all know he's been commenting on a lot of things from jail.

[DJ Envy]

So he started that podcast from jail, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

There's a whole podcast. I didn't know about that. Normally when I say, see him talk it's like, through an interview normally with tmz, he's always responding to something in the media.

[Will]

But I think you got a podcast. I think it's called Collect Call with Suge Knight.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, shifting gears, in other news. So Michelle Obama was on her podcast with Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union, and they were having a conversation about figuring out how you parent multiple children and creating a good dynamic because, you know, sometimes people have favorite kids. So let's take a listen to Michelle Obama because she said Barack Obama had issues with Sasha. Our oldest, Malia, is very.

[Morgan Wood]

She's gonna figure out who you are.

[Jess Hilarious]

What do you like?

[Morgan Wood]

And let's discuss.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She would tell me, I'm going out.

[Morgan Wood]

This weekend, but I'm gonna go in and give dad, like, 15 minutes.

[Sarah Spain]

And she'd go into the Treaty Room.

[Morgan Wood]

And tell me about Syria.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, wow.

[Morgan Wood]

Really?

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, I must be sergeant.

[Morgan Wood]

And then she'd be like, okay, well, I'm gone.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Barack would come out of the Treaty.

[Jess Hilarious]

Room going, I just had an amazing conversation with Malia.

[Morgan Wood]

And Sasha is like a cat. She's like, don't touch me. Don't pet me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm not pleasing you.

[Jess Hilarious]

You come to me.

[Morgan Wood]

Barack's like, well, she's difficult. I was like, no, the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The.

[Sarah Spain]

The first one was a pleaser, you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Know, but some people parent to one child or one personality child, but then you. You have three thought about you. Envy. Because I know Madison is your favorite child.

[DJ Envy]

Madison's not my favorite.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think so.

[DJ Envy]

Madison's not my favorite. But, yeah, it's different.

[Jess Hilarious]

I just say that on the radio.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It just seems like it because y' all always hang out. She, like. Y' all are, like, best friends.

[DJ Envy]

She is. She's 23 years old. She's the closest to my age. So, I mean, we be out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's the closest to all the other.

[DJ Envy]

Kids to my age.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I can also understand it, too, boy.

[DJ Envy]

I'm 47, but she's the closest to my age. No, she's 23 years old. She goes out with me. She hangs with daddy. When I go to Vegas, she goes to Vegas. When I go, here she comes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's.

[Will]

It does piss me off when people say you have a favorite child. Like when people say. When they say that to you as a parent, it's like, I love all my kids equally.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But you've never felt closer to one child than the other.

[Will]

No, it was your children, have you?

[Jess Hilarious]

But all right, now, listen. What about you, Lauren? Have your mom. Mom ever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Her mom.

[Jess Hilarious]

I know she don't got a dad, yo.

[Lauren LaRosa]

First of all, my dad is listening probably. Hey, dad. And even with my dad, I'm his favorite, cuz I talk to him.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Will]

All right.

[Jess Hilarious]

So you are your dad's favorite. I know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I mean, I'm the only kid of my dad that speaks to him, but let's go back to my mom real quick. No, don't speak. You have no permission.

[Will]

Speak. Leonard, I got my hand.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, sir.

[Will]

Your dad. Dad has a strange way of showing that you're his favorite child, do you think?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I didn't say favorite. I said actually.

[DJ Envy]

Well, take it back.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I take it back. My dad talks to me because I'm the of two kids. I'm the one that speaks to him.

[DJ Envy]

You're the only one that calls him, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. But back to my mom.

[Will]

Yes, I understand what Michelle.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, we've had. We've had times, though, where, like, when my mom was going through her, like, cancer battle, I was closer because I was in the hospital with her every day. Her and my brother, though, they hang out a lot more and a lot differently because they both indulge in, like, cannabis and all the things I don't. I kind of feel like I'm parenting them sometimes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. But my question is, did you ever feel like one of y' all were her favorite?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes. I tell her all the time. She let my brother get away with everything. That's her favorite.

[Will]

I think what Michelle is saying is important, though. It's not even about what you do as a parent sometimes. The kid don't want to mess with you like that. The kid don't. The kid ain't vibing with you in that way. So you might deem that child. Child difficult, but y' all just. You know, that child is doing its own thing.

[DJ Envy]

All kids are different.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

You can't raise. I can't talk to Madison, raise Madison like I raise.

[Will]

My wife tells me that all the time.

[DJ Envy]

Logan or like, London or Brooklyn or Peyton or Jackson. It is what it is. They're all different kids all the time.

[Will]

All the kids are different, and especially when they different in age.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. And then also, like with my kids, I was a different person than I am now when I was just.

[Lauren LaRosa]

When it was just Ash.

[Jess Hilarious]

When I had Ash and I was raising as Ash, it was different, you know, different lifestyle, different, you know, it was different. Now I am who I am. I have a career. You know, I'm married. I have my child. This child is different. I still don't have a favorite, but the parenting style is much different. So Marley might grow up and not even deal with me, you know?

[DJ Envy]

Right, right. She might deal with her problem because my wife always tells me I'm a better girl dad than I am a boy dad.

[Will]

All I know, that's all I got is girls.

[DJ Envy]

Because it's like, you know, it's a different connection. But I love all my kids.

[Will]

And then, you know, when the ethnicity is different, too, because sometimes, you know, Molly looks at Jesse and be like, who is this person?

[DJ Envy]

What you mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God.

[Will]

I can look at daddy and be like, that's daddy. Who this woman?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hola.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You remember that video just posted when Marley was like, go get my dad, yo?

[Jess Hilarious]

Literally.

[DJ Envy]

But.

[Jess Hilarious]

And she prefers him, too. Not only does she favor him, she prefers him. So that would be my difficult child, cuz. She. She ain't checking for me. She don't care.

[DJ Envy]

She's only one, Chess.

[Jess Hilarious]

She's only one telling you, yo, you. I'mma post a video today. Shorty don't be. She. She mess with me when Chris ain't home. But when he home, he like, oh. She's like, oh, my protector, my. Yes. Thank you. Hi, Daddy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I love that.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, that is the latest with Laura Charlemagne. Who you giving that donkey, too, man?

[Will]

Four after the hour. Since we talking about parenting, let me just teach y' all how not to parent real quick. Okay? There's a woman named Sierra Bonner who needs to come to the front of the con congregation. We'd like to have a word with her, please.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll get to that next. I just gotta say this last thing. You know what my. My kids favorite part of the show is?

[Lauren LaRosa]

What?

[Jess Hilarious]

What?

[DJ Envy]

Guess what race it is. They enjoy that because they still trying.

[Will]

To guess their damn race. What about guess your dad's sexuality? Oh, my goodness.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, my God.

[Will]

I've been a tough one for Logan.

[DJ Envy]

Dog get a day is up. Next, asses.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Make sure you tell them to watch.

[DJ Envy]

Out for Florida man.

[Will]

The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A Florida man attacked an ATM for.

[Dani Shapiro]

A very strange reason.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say.

[Morgan Wood]

He rigged the door to his home.

[Lauren LaRosa]

In an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo.

[Will]

The Breakfast Club, bitches.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Donkey of the day with Charlemagne. The guy.

[Will]

I don't know why y' all keep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Letting him get y' all like this.

[Will]

It's not me, Lil Duvall. It's Florida. Okay? Donkey here Today for Thursday, August 21st goes to a Florida woman named Sierra Bonner. Okay? Now, what does your Uncle Charlotte always say about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is absolutely no exception. Let me tell you something, man. Nothing makes me shake my head more than people who make poor choices on purpose. What do you mean, Uncle Charlotte? People who make poor choices on purpose. See, some people. People make choices and the choice they make may be a bad one, but they didn't intentionally try to cheat the game, okay? They didn't intentionally try to bend the will of the universe to make two plus two, five. All right, There are some people out here who intentionally try to make 2 plus 2 equal 5, even though they know it equals 4, but for whatever reason, they try to make it 5. Those individuals I have absolutely no remorse for when something bad happens because they are making making a poor choice on purpose. That's exactly what Sierra Bonner did. Okay? Sierra. Sierra has a child. Her child is in elementary school and she doesn't live with her child's father, but the child's father left something at her house. So the mother, when packing her child's book bag, put the item in the child's book bag and asked the child to return the item to their father. Simple enough assignment, right? Well, keep in mind, this is Florida. Would you like to know what the item was? Well, let's go to First Coast News for the report, please. To lock down at Copper Gate Elementary School caused by one parent trying to return a gun to another parent. That's according to the Clay County Sheriff, Michelle Cook tonight. Cook said a student's mom put the gun. Now listen to this. In the child's backpack, telling the child.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To return the gun to the child's father.

[Will]

The child forgot to give the gun.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To their dad, causing the gun to.

[Will]

Be found in the child's backpack at school. The mom is now facing felony child charges, including child neglect. Sierra Bonner put a gun in their child's backpack and told the young child to return the firearm to their father before they left for school. Now, earlier this morning, 8th grade teacher called up here complaining about the parents smoking weed with their kids. And she said that some of the parents say it's okay because they smoking weed with me. Now, she called from Ohio. The legal age to consume weed in Ohio is 21. So if you're a parent smoking weed with your child, child who is in the eighth grade in Ohio. You are breaking the law. It is illegal to provide weed to a minor in Ohio, just like it's illegal to give a firearm to a minor in Florida, which is what Sierra is being charged with. Okay? Child neglect and giving a firearm to a minor. Envy. You said earlier that the teacher shouldn't call the police on the parents in Ohio. They should just give a warning for giving their child who is in the eighth grade, weed. Do you feel the same way about this parent in Florida who gave their elementary school child a pistol to give back to their father? Father. Okay, Florida is the only place. Ask me that question. Answer the question first.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't say that. First and foremost, I didn't say.

[Will]

What you mean. You didn't say that.

[DJ Envy]

I didn't say you supposed to give your kids weed in eighth grade. I said never mind. But no, they should definitely call police if your child bring a gun to school.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[Will]

Just want to make sure. All right. Just want to make sure you. You know, just want to make sure you're not stupid. Florida is the only place where after a parent checks their child's backpack before they go to school, someone has to check the backpack after the parent. Okay. The sheriff called it a poor decision that could have ended in tragedy. That's an understatement, right? Kids could have been killed. Actions have consequences, man. And people do not realize how important decisions are until they make the wrong ones. But going back to what I said earlier, people make poor choices on purpose. You know, two plus two does not equal five. You know it equals four, but you tried to make it equal five. Anyway, that's how I feel about this.

I'm Noah, I'm 13 and as you might have seen from the news, I got a podcast and I explain those fake headlines like your uncle would, like your cousin would if he actually did the research. Honestly, adults don't ask the right questions. Now, you know. With Noah de Barrasso is a show about influence. Who's got it, how they use it and what it means for the rest of you, it's not the news. It's what the news should be. If someone Gen Z or Gen Alpha.

[Jess Hilarious]

When I'm watching everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sheesh.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Majority of the youth 18 through 24 say they trust Republicans more than Democrats to fund the economy.

[Will]

You kidding me?

[Jess Hilarious]

Politics is wild.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And I'm definitely not here to tame it, but I'm here to make sense of it. Just what's happening, why it matters, and what it means for us. Bring your brain. Listen to now youw know with Noah.

[Will]

Sierra. Okay, now I know she's from Florida and there's a different level of fool in Florida, but you're not going to sit here and tell me that when you was packing your child's book bag, okay, your child who is in elementary school, you got notebooks and school supplies and pencils and folders. Probably a water bottle. Some lunch, you know what I mean? A little tuna sandwich or something. Some chips, apple, maybe a sweet. Okay. Couple of cookies, a honey bun maybe you had to know when you was packing all that a pistol did not belong there. Okay? What was going on in your life that was so important that you couldn't tell your baby daddy to come pick his fire. Firearm up from the house? Okay, if you was to call your baby daddy and say, hey, I'm gonna give your fire, you know, your pistol to your child to give to you, I believe your baby daddy would tell you that you trippin. Okay, once again, I understand that Florida, but I just refuse to believe that both parents believe passing the pistol to their child in elementary school is a wise choice. You tell your kid, take this gun to dad and send them off to school. That's not parenting. That's organized crime. Please give Sierra Bonner the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day, the doggy of the day.

[Will]

And kids already be forgetting everything you tell them to do in the morning any damn way. That's another reason Sierra Bona story pisses me off.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's. That's crazy. That's stupid. Yo, like you said all the things like you said, somebody could have got killed. Somebody could have went in this book bag and. And got the gun and he even could have showed and taken held it like you remember. Show and tell. Yeah, I got a blicky.

[Will]

I do respect the fact that this young man didn't try to protect his mom either. Looked in his bag like, what? This ain't me.

[DJ Envy]

My mama packed my bag this morning and that's right.

[Will]

And that's how it should be.

[DJ Envy]

You're not playing the game?

[Will]

No, I'm not playing the game this morning.

[DJ Envy]

You want to play again?

[Will]

I. I really don't.

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, is it all right before.

[Will]

I. I don't have a picture.

[Jess Hilarious]

Is it obvious?

[Will]

It's not obvious. No, Hell, this ain't obvious.

[DJ Envy]

Can't google no.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm talking about, like, it ain't too many white or Russian or Asian Sierras out here. That's what I'm saying.

[DJ Envy]

Like, what you trying to say?

[Jess Hilarious]

I mean, she trying to say either, like, you know.

[Will]

No, that's the black one. I said going to nake there is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Powerful at work here.

[Will]

There we go. Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I was thinking white, but it's.

[Jess Hilarious]

Obvious because of the name.

[DJ Envy]

I know, I know.

[Will]

I don't know they raised either. But regardless, this is somebody.

Who's this?

[Caller]

Hey, what's going on, man? This Anthony. How y' all doing?

[DJ Envy]

Anthony, what's up? What's your question for Jess, brother?

[Caller]

What's up? Hey, Jess. How you doing? My mom. What's going on?

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm good. How you doing?

[Caller]

I'm all right. Listen, so I'm an over the road truck driver, Right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Shout out to you.

[Caller]

Appreciate that. It's kind of hard to date. And the reason why is that because it's like a lot of women rely on me to do everything because they see truck driver, they think, oh, money, money, money. But I don't want that. You know what I mean? And a lot of these chicks nowadays is like bums. They can't do nothing.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Caller]

You know what I mean? They can't bring their own way. So do you think I should just focus on. I got no kids, by the way, too, so you think I should just focus on what I'm doing, doing and worry about relationship later or not.

[Jess Hilarious]

Try to work something out. If you ready, if you ready for a relationship, you know, don't give up on it. It's just you keep, you keep attracting the, the type, you know, you attracting the bums, as you say. Where, where are you at? Where are you? Where you from?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Florida.

[Jess Hilarious]

Florida. Okay. Are you, you drive locally or like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, over the road.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you be.

[Caller]

And it's like you women that say they, they cool with it, but then after about a month or two, it's like, oh, I want you home and this and that, and you already know what the job entails. It's cool when the money come home though.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, absolutely.

[Caller]

Right, right, right.

[Jess Hilarious]

So, but look, but what I, what I can say is I definitely do relate. When I met my husband, I ain't think it was gonna be a problem either that, you know, him always being on the road. Yeah, I knew, but I, I knew knew what his job consisted of. He wasn't always going to be around me, but I wasn't looking to be with him like exclusively nea cuz, listen, truck driver didn't put a bad taste in my mouth. I just already knew what that came with.

[Will]

Lot lizards.

[Jess Hilarious]

He's not going to be there. Nobody wor. No light lizards, but he wasn't going to be there all the time. And I'm somewhat of a clingy person to my person, you know what I'm saying? I want to be up under my man. I want to be, you know, I want to be all those things, you know, I want to be with him. And I realized I wasn't really built for that, so we had to compromise a lot of things, you know what I'm saying? But it's definitely going to be hard for you. I'm not here to, you know, to pass by you and tell you, yo, no, you, you'll find the right one. It's going to take you some time to find the right one. You got to date somebody who also travels. You got to date like a travel nurse or a flight attendant. Somebody who always, you know what I mean? On the same time type of route as you. You know what I mean? Like somebody that travel just like you. It's going to be hard dealing with somebody that's stationary and you not.

[Caller]

I ain't never thought about a travel nurse. Okay, all right.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know, so d. Another truck driver. It's some sexy ass women like who. Who drive trucks out there, you know.

[Caller]

Okay, all right, I'mma take care.

[Jess Hilarious]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Will]

Sir.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hello? Who's this?

[Caller]

This is Fatima.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, good morning, Mama. What's your question for Jess?

[Jess Hilarious]

Good morning.

[Caller]

My question for Jess is what is wrong with me? Why? When. Whenever I meet a guy and, you know, we start chilling, I like him for a while, and then for no reason, after, like, a couple weeks, I.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Don'T want him no more.

[Jess Hilarious]

I went through that phase as well, you know what I'm saying? You don't really know what you looking for. You know what I mean? That's what I realized about myself. It could be different with you, but I didn't really know what I was looking for. I just knew what I didn't want when I started seeing it. You know, you give everybody a chance. You're a hopeless romantic in a way, and so that. What comes along with that is you giving everybody a chance. Not everybody, but, you know, you're not really specific. You're not too picky, you know, that's because you still got to learn yourself and what you want, what aligns with you, you know? Do you have a type? Be honest.

[Caller]

I do have a type.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And it seems like, you know, whenever.

[Caller]

I start dealing with a guy, guy, that guy is my type. That's why I start dealing with him.

[Jess Hilarious]

But, but look, is that. I'm sorry to cut you off, but is that just outside appearance? Is that just from what you see, what meets your eye? Right? Because you don't really know a person until you get to know them, you know, Looks.

[Caller]

It's. It's. Well, yeah, I feel that when you say that.

[Jess Hilarious]

I did the same thing. I, like, I have a. A type that's like a fit. Like, I know what I want to look at. I know what I want to stand next to. Right. I know what I want to go to sleep with. I want. Oh, yes, my man looks good. All the things brolic. Wide shoulders, like. Yeah, what's up? You know, Tall guy. Yes. But when you start meeting these guys, I mean, when you start getting to know these guys, it's like, ah, brain on empty, you know?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, broke.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, mama's boy. Ah. I mean.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, you're right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you gotta look a little deeper than what meets the eye, but it's definitely. And then you probably a baddie, so you want a guy to match you, you know, but you gotta go a little bit deeper than that, and that comes with age. How old are you?

[Caller]

I'm 36.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. All right. Yeah, you almost there. You almost there, you know, I mean, just keep, keep, keep going through the brale. Except sexy. You know what I'm saying? Because you're gonna find one with a brain, one that's emotionally intelligent one. When you gonna find exactly what you're looking for? It's all right. It's nothing wrong with you. You just gotta. Gotta look a little deeper than what's and what you see. All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Thank you.

[Caller]

I hope that fixes my mess.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm telling you. I know it's going to. And you gotta come back to me and update me.

[Will]

She just told you to keep on.

[Caller]

I'm gonna update you. I'm gonna keep.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm gonna keep strong.

[Will]

You gonna keep on.

[Jess Hilarious]

Shut up. Yo, what are you talking about? About.

[DJ Envy]

Just fix my mess. 800-585-1051. When we come back, we got the latest with Lauren, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Jess Hilarious]

Lauren becoming a straight fat.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Will]

She gets the details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Will]

She be having the latest on this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Will]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So this actually, we just found out about this. The mother of Felicia Rashad and Debbie Allen, Ms. Vivian A. Has passed away. So, Debbie, Right? I know. It's so sad. Debbie Allen posted to her Instagram to let us know the sad news. She posted a tribute to their mother. And she says, mommy, you have transformed into that cosmic bird hawk that lives and breathes freedom. We will follow your trail of golden dust and continue to climb higher. We promise to be true. Be beautiful, be free. Love, love, love. And then she named all of the. The children and their husbands. Now, when Ms. Felicia Rashad was up here on the Breakfast Club, she lived.

[Will]

A very long life.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, she did.

[Will]

She lived the life. I want to live what she was like, she had had to be, what, 100. 100. She had to be 100 plus.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, I'll look up her age. But speaking of her age, she was a poet, she was a playwriter, she was a cultural activist, a museum curator, a classicist. Some of her poetry actually was included in Langston Hughes collections. Langston Hughes collection. New Negro Poets. And then also too Spice of Dawn, one of her poems back in the 50s was nominated for. For the Pulitzer Pride, The Pulitzer Prize for poetry back in 1953, actually. So she did live an amazing life. She was also a librarian, which Ms. Felicia Rashad talked about when she was up here. She was the first African American faculty member at Rice University in Houston, Texas, as well. So she paved the way. I do want to play just some. Just Felicia Rashad when she was here, remembering her mom because she spoke so much about her. Let's take a listen.

[Jess Hilarious]

Our mother, Vivian, is Ayers, the poet we grew up with a poet. We grew up with, a visionary. And it was about freedom. It was about realizing your full potential as a human being. Can you imagine things like this, teaching little children like this? She would teach us things like. She'd have aphorisms, and she'd give them to us to say, the universe bears no ill to me. I bear no ill to it. And we'd repeat that. The universe bears no ill to me.

[Will]

I bear no ill to.

[Jess Hilarious]

When you teach a child like this, be true, be beautiful, be free. She would say things like this to us. And she'd say things like, thinking requires thought.

[Will]

Thinking requires thought.

[Jess Hilarious]

We know he would say it, but these seeds were planted.

[Will]

Yes. Ms. Vivian Ayers Allen lived to be 102. She celebrated a born day last month.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, wow.

[Will]

Chester, South Carolina's own Ms. Vivian Ayers Allen. So rest in peace to Ms. Vivian Vienna's Allen. That is a long, amazing life. Because I want to live to be 101. She made it to 102. That's amazing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And look really, really good. Watch that tribute that they posted of her 102. Where and when you.

[Will]

And when you think about all the life that you hear Ms. Felicia Rashad, you know, talk about her mother speaking into her, and look what that did for her, as well as Debbie Allen. Like, come on now.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Come on, man.

[Will]

Vivian. Life well lived, ma'. Am.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Rest in peace.

[Jess Hilarious]

Even when she was up here talking about how their mother explained racism to them and how it was very detrimental to the race, but she made them look at it another way, like, so they won't be mentally defeated by it growing up. I remember that specifically from the interview that she did when she came up to the breakfast clubs.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, it was a amazing interview with her, but, yes, definitely a life well lived in rest in peace and sending condolences to their family. Now we're going to shift gears a bit. Wanted to make sure that we mentioned this because we reported on the original filing. So. So Drew Ski. Remember we did the report of Drew Ski being named in one of the civil lawsuits where it was alleged that him, Diddy and Odell Beckham Jr. That BS. Yeah. Saw it and all the things.

[Will]

Nonsense.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So he has been. We had already talked about the evidence that was being put forth to clear him. He has been officially cleared by a judge at this point. So I wanted to make sure that we said that as well. And the judge is actually, you know, having conversations with right now about sanctions, if any, going the way of the woman in her legal team that filed the.

[Will]

Yeah, let's get her locked up. How about that? When somebody makes. When somebody makes an allegation that false, right. That so blatantly false. Soon as you hear it and you hear the details, you're like, this is some complete nonsense. Yeah, lock her up.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I'm with you.

[DJ Envy]

A th percent. I'm with you. You make false claims that could hurt his business, could hurt his family, could hurt his life, put him through trauma and his false.

[Will]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Sense. She said, like, he oiled up and jumped on her and you alive. Like, shut up. Why would you even say that?

[Will]

He used her. She used her body as a slip and slide.

[Lauren LaRosa]

When that slip, everybody was like, ain't no way. Ain't no way.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like, come on.

[Will]

First of all, there shouldn't have been no way. When she said, when it happened. Drew Ski wasn't even on back then.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, exactly. See, here's the thing, though. And the judge kind of got into this in the letter that the judge dropped explaining why this is not moving forward with him at all. Because the judge is not going to be the beginning when they put forth these claims. Like, okay, you put forth the claims. We need to see why these claims aren't real. But when Drew Ski's team provided those text messages, we talked about the emails, the verification of the job you had been offered. The judge is like, they should have backed away then, but they didn't. They decided to still move forward. So the sanctions are going to be for the. Them for the team being like, we still gonna move forward because at this point now we see that none of this amazing.

[DJ Envy]

And they should have to pay for Drew Ski's legal fees. The other attorney should have to pay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

For his legal fees.

[Will]

And you know what else? They should have to pay for the legal fees. And I mean, you know, thank God he didn't lose anything, but if he did, they should have to compensate him for that as well. And she need to be arrested. Like, that's. That's wrong, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yep.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, in other court news, so DDG and Haley Bailey you guys remember they were going back and forth about, you know, things with their child custody and all that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Halle Bailey.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I said grandma Halle, right?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, you said Haley.

[Lauren LaRosa]

My grandma Halle. Halle Bailey.

[Will]

Sorry.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I have a great grandmother named Halle, and I always try to think of it that way, and I still mess it up. So. Halle Bailey and DDG in court were told that they should not post their child on social media. They were ordered. Both parents were ordered not to post their child on social media. They were. The judge also import. Emphasized the importance of monitoring the visits between the. The two parents. So the prosecutor. So, you know, Helis. Helisai was claiming that DDG was staged, like, paparazzi situations in different outings with the kids, with the kid. They argued that, you know, the child shouldn't be on social media. They also said that DDG had a fan base that would cause harassment, harassment toward Haley, and that they wanted to restrict all these things. Now, on the other side, DDG was saying that, like, I can't control who sees me in public, how the cameras roll when I'm in public. I'm a streamer. This is my job. And things just come with it. He was requesting overnight visitation, weekends, midweek time, just a bunch of different things. He also wanted to set up, like, a schedule. Schedule within those visits. And he said he's open to monitor visits. He just, you know, wants to see his child, but he said he's open to that just to ensure that everything that they're claiming happens when the kid is with him doesn't happen. So the judge ruled that the fact that.

[Jess Hilarious]

The fact that they can't post. They both can't post. Halo is in Haley's favor and Haley's faith. You got me calling this girl.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Sorry.

[Jess Hilarious]

In her favor because that's what she wanted anyway from the gym. So, I mean, it goes in and right into what she wanted. But for ddg, I do feel a little bad about that. I mean, that's. That's what he do. You know what I'm saying? Like, he. He wanted. I mean, it's not all about posting your child and all that, but, like, it's not about even posting this. What he does, he streams, like, his life every day. And so when he. When that camera's on, he making money, so we can't do that. You know, when it comes to him having his child and. And Halo was a big part of his streaming content.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, he is. And he goes so viral. The baby goes so viral. But, I mean, I think he'll just have to figure out he's good at content, he'll have to figure out other angles into his life, you know?

[Will]

All right, now give me some positive news. You gave me death, fake rape allegations, and child custody battles. Give me something good. That's what she gave us. Give me some. Give me something positive. Now. Give me something positive. Got to be something good going on in the world.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It is. Jess is celebrating her beautiful, beautiful baby's birthday this weekend. She's preparing for the birthday party that will happen this Saturday and just broke the Internet yesterday with her baby's photos with her Chris and baby Marley. And the photos are amazing. And.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's a lot of content. I mean, that's a lot of material, y'.

[Morgan Wood]

All.

[Jess Hilarious]

You dropping specials every six months and you still torn. And yo, none of his jokes.

[Will]

You.

[Jess Hilarious]

You'll never go to a show and hear one of the jokes that you saw in the special or you even heard before. When he came to Yourself City last year, like, yo, his brain is always, I, I love comics like that dope.

[Will]

And he got a new. He got a new quick read out called Applied Advice. Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And.

[Will]

And I like it because, you know, he basically took some of the best advice that he's received from people like Bruce Bruce, Cheryl Underwood, Mike F, Bill Bellamy, you know, Billy D. Washington, Rob Stapleton, D.L. hughley, B.R. burns, Dick Gregory and his mom and dad. And he put them all in a nice quick read that he says it's not a self help book. It's real talk from the real one. So go check that out. Go pick that up from Amazon right now. Ali Sadiq applied Advice, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

When we come. Oh, you got a positive.

[Jess Hilarious]

Man's called it a obituary.

[Will]

Yes, man. And the positive note is simply this. People do not realize how important decisions are until they make the wrong ones. I said that earlier. I want to repeat it again. But I also want you to make and be confident. Confident in your own decisions. Stop looking for people's approval for everything. Live your life and make the choices and decisions that you want. Have a great day, Breakfast Club.
