[DJ Envy]

Jess. Hilarious. Good morning, Charlemagne the God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Peace to the planet. It's Thursday. Good morning. How y' all feel out there? I feel blessed, black and highly favored. Happy to be here another day to serve our beautiful listeners. What's happening?

[DJ Envy]

What's going on? What up, Jesse?

[Jess Hilarious]

What's up, y'?

[G Herbo]

All?

[Lauren LaRosa]

What's up?

[DJ Envy]

I want to ask y' all a question as parents, right? Good morning to the world. Good morning, everybody. So my daughter, who's in sixth grade, had a substitute teacher, which is another sixth grade teacher. Not her teacher. Another sixth grade teacher. This other sixth grade teacher is a mean teacher. Like, mean. Like, none of the kids like this teacher.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But my daughter said, does she notice, or is she hearing this for the first time on the national syndicated morning?

[DJ Envy]

She don't know. So my daughter, I'm telling you. So my daughter, like, the whole class doesn't like this sixth grade teacher, Right? Because she's mean. But my daughter said after taking one class with us, she's learned more in the year that she's ever learned. The other teacher's a lot easier. So my daughter called me and said, dad, although people don't like this teacher, I learned more. I want to transfer to this teacher's class. A class that none of the kids want to go to. They prefer the easier kids.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I call the school, the school says, no, they can't. I'm like, the fact that she wants to go to a harder class with a harder teacher.

[Jess Hilarious]

She wants to be challenged.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's November. Aren't the classes already set for the year?

[DJ Envy]

But if she's not being challenged, you're not in college.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't just transfer classes.

[DJ Envy]

It's the same six or eight teachers. You just go from one class to the other class. It's not like they're all AP classes, regardless. But she just feels like this teacher teaches a lot better. She's a lot more difficult. She's really into the homework.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So she's not saying that she's wrong for doing that. I'm just saying I don't think you can do that in the middle of a school year.

[Jess Hilarious]

You actually can. Because my son did that before in the middle school that he went to to before he got to the one that he's in now, he wasn't even challenged. And he did like another teacher, another math class better. And they put him in that One. Not because of who he is or anything, just because when your child voices something like that.

[G Herbo]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And they.

[Jess Hilarious]

And it's in the best interest of the child and the education that they're receiving and the level that they on, they do make those changes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So why'd they tell you no?

[DJ Envy]

Well, I'm gonna go up to the school in the next couple days to find out, because they said no at first. But I just, you know, if. If it's her daddy, I just stayed in the easy class.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

But she's like, I want to be challenged. She was like, I'm bored in class. She was like, it's. I'm not. I know all this stuff. I've learned all this stuff. I want to be challenged. I want.

[Jess Hilarious]

And. And then, you know, that new. That. That new class that she wanted to be put into, the one with the. The stricter teacher or whatever. That teacher probably not in there trying to be their friend. Like, she's in correct learn, and she has a strict style that she teaches in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, that's probably why it's not fair to call her mean. Probably. She's probably just strict.

[DJ Envy]

I said the kids call her mean. I didn't call her mean. I said, the kids call her mean. But my daughter was like, no, I've learned more on that when she substituted that one day than the whole year, she was like, I really want to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get in this class.

[DJ Envy]

And I was shocked. I was like, yeah. I'm like, well, I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get you in that class if you want to be challenged and you feel like the other class is too easy. Because at the end of the day, you want to challenge kids, right? If something's too easy, they get bored. They start. No, I want to challenge my daughter.

[G Herbo]

So, yeah. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

So I'm asking. So what do you guys think I should do?

[Jess Hilarious]

I think you should. You should go up there. Like, you said, you should go up there and, you know, don't. Yo. Don't go up there and get all crazy. Matter of fact, let Gia do it. Just let G go up to the school and explain has. She can speak to it better.

[G Herbo]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know, gonna put that nurturing sauce on it. Yeah. My child doesn't think you. You know how gear talks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

So let her do it.

[Mimi Brown]

Let her handle it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And the first thing you need to see is if. If that's even in the school's policies.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And if you can even do that.

[Jess Hilarious]

You can do it at some schools. I don't know but you can definitely do it if it's a problem for your child.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

Well, thank you, guys. All right, well, today on the show, G. Herbo will be joining us. His new album, Little Herb Drops. Tomorrow we're gonna be kicking it with G. Herbal. We haven't seen Herbo in a long time, so we're gonna be talking to G. Herbo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I see her. Well, recently he's been up here. We'll talk about it.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, yeah, we'll talk about it. Yes. All right, we got front page news. Day 37 of the shutdown.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lord have mercy.

[DJ Envy]

We'll talk about all that when we come back. Mimi will be here, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. And Thursday Night Football. The Raiders take on the Broncos at 8:15 on Prime Video. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, M.V.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jeff.

[Mimi Brown]

Charlemagne. How y' all doing this morning?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Peace, peace, peace, peace.

[Mimi Brown]

Mimi, good morning.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, we start this morning with some big travel news. And if you're flying anytime soon, this could affect you. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the FAA will cut flights by about 10% at 40 major airports starting Friday, and that's about 4,000 flights a day. Officials say it's a safety move as the government shutdown drags into day 37, now the longest shutdown in US history. Air traffic controllers, they haven't been paid in more than a month. And staffing shortages are only getting worse. Let's listen to Sean Duffy talk more about that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're noticing that there's additional pressure that's building in the system. And again, our priority is to make.

[DJ Envy]

Sure that you're safe.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And so we're going to talk about additional measures that we are going to take that's going to reduce the risk profile in the national airspace.

[DJ Envy]

There is going to be a 10%.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Reduction in capacity at 40 of our locations. I anticipate there will be additional disruptions. There will be frustration. We are working with the airlines.

[DJ Envy]

They're going to work with passengers.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But in the end, our sole role is to make sure that we keep this airspace as safe as possible. Yeah, the government will be open any day now. That's what's going to be. That's what's going. That's what's going to be. What makes them reopen. The government. Forget the people. Forget all the government workers who haven't been paid and. And can't pay those bills. Forget the people who not getting SNAP benefits. When the airlines start complaining, the big corporations, that's when they're gonna reopen the air.

[DJ Envy]

Now it's getting nasty. I walked in with Lauren and she said from her flight from LA to here, she said she was stuck at the airport damn near all day because she was like, flights just weren't leaving. It wasn't enough people working. And she was like, TSA took a long time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So they will always choose corporate interests over the interests of the people. So any day now.

[Mimi Brown]

Any day now. You're right. The FAA says those cuts though, they will roll out in phases. So starting with about 4% fewer flights on Friday, 5% on Saturday, and they will ramp up to the full 10% starting next week. This kind of system wide slowdown, it has never happened before. It's just a sign of how fragile the nation's air traffic network has become. As you just mentioned with Lauren, there were more than 10,000 flights canceled this week. 400 more were delayed. So, you know, it's really getting crazy out there. The faa, they said they plan to meet with the airlines and just try and see what they can do. But United Airlines, though, it's taking steps of its own. It's promising full refunds to anyone who doesn't want to fly during those restrictions. Even on if you have a non refundable ticket or even if you have a basic economy ticket, they are offering a refunds if you don't want to wait. And as this travel slowdown ripples across the country, there's a small update this morning for families receiving those SNAP benefits. They will see slightly larger payments this month even as the shutdown drags on. So new Guidelines from the U.S. department of Agriculture out late yesterday says the agency can now cover 65% of benefits. That's up from the 50% of benefits that we talked about earlier this week.

[Jess Hilarious]

Great.

[Mimi Brown]

That means. Yep, that's still a smaller amount, but not as steep as Families first feared officials say they're doing. They're using what's left in that emergency fund to keep the program running just through November. After that, of course, there's no money left. We have to wait and see if Congress reaches a deal. Lawmakers have already or Democratic lawmakers have already voted 14 times without success to reopen the government. And at the center of this fight are those health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. So for millions of families without a paycheck, no end in sight yet we will continue to wait and see what happens.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

At least they're getting some type of relief.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Now, I did see a bunch of governors saying that their state was state of emergency. I seen Mikey. She says she's going to do it when she gets into office to freeze electric bills. So why are they doing this? To get more money from the government to help people out? Because I see a bunch of governors do that.

[Mimi Brown]

Do you know, I think a bunch of governors are tapping into state funds to help do that.

[DJ Envy]

Gotcha.

[Mimi Brown]

Because there's a bunch of governors who are also. There's another state which is escaping me right now, but they are paying full benefits for some of their SNAP recipients in their state. So a lot of governors are just trying to see what they. Is it Maryland? Yes, it was. Yep. It was Westmore. They're. They're tapping into their. Their state reserves to kind of help people out. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Well, thank you, Mimi.

[Mimi Brown]

Of course. Coming up at 7, feeling overwhelmed by all the noise, all these headlines. You are not alone. There's a simple trend that's helping people unplug. We'll tell you all about it.

[DJ Envy]

All right, Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, whatever may be, whatever's on your mind, maybe it's November 6th and your co worker got a Christmas tree in the background up already.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't see no problem with that.

[G Herbo]

Mimi.

[DJ Envy]

Mimi got a Christmas tree up already.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No problem with that.

[DJ Envy]

She's ready.

[Jess Hilarious]

She couldn't wait until November 11th.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My wife already got the lights up. They're not on yet, but she already got the lights up.

[DJ Envy]

My wife. My wife got the lights up and on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because the reality is Halloween got decorations. Thanksgiving don't have no decorations.

[Jess Hilarious]

I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you might as well go ahead and set up for Christmas.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

My lights are up and my wife puts them on every night. She's like, we starting early? Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

She's in there. She can hear you. She can hear you, though.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Ms. Thang with receipt. Ms. Thang was just always keeping us accountable and keeping us up to date.

[G Herbo]

Hello.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

The Breakfast Club has came far and I'm here for it, and I'm excited for where you guys are going.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you very much.

[DJ Envy]

Well, thank you so much. Now shout out yourself. You said you want to shout out yourself too, right?

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Yeah, I want to shout out myself. My name is Rachel Ross and I am in film and tv. So I'm just shouting out, putting out my IG handle. It's Rachel Ross. Films. R A C H E L R O S S Films F I L. And if you need to do music videos, live sporting events, Corpus events. Hit your girl up.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay?

[DJ Envy]

Thank you so much.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

No worries.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, Rachel. Shay, good morning. Get off your chest, Shay, good morning.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I was pulling because I listened to the interview yesterday with Ms. Kat in the update with her, and I don't know about this, the story about success, the opportunity to be on this chat show because of the comments that she made, but I just thought that they're crazy that we're still having this argument over, you know, the trans community not being able to carry kids, because I feel like it dispenses everything that women have to go through to bring beautiful children onto the earth, all because they don't have the biological body to be able to conceive head. And I get the whole aspect of we're all spiritual being just having a physical experience on earth, but within that, God put your spirit into the protective body that he wanted you to have. And unfortunately, that body does not allow you to Be able to carry or perceive his. So a woman losing out on the job opportunity because people try to go against basic biology, it's like, it's completely asinine to me, and I don't feel like that's right at all.

[Jess Hilarious]

I appreciate you for that.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Of course. Of course. I love you guys. I listen to y' all every morning. And what Ms. Pat said when she said, you just gotta let people be who they are is completely correct. Because at this point, if they're willing to say, oh, we're gonna pass up on dress because she made a comment as the truth, that's not even something that you should have been involved with to begin with. That's totally true.

[Jess Hilarious]

I appreciate that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You should have started with that. She started up and gave her opinion and then said, mind your business.

[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.

[G Herbo]

This is your time to get it off your chest.

[DJ Envy]

Keep calling 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Hello.

[DJ Envy]

Who's this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Envy.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

What's up, Envy?

[DJ Envy]

What's up?

[Jess Hilarious]

Travel?

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Yeah, I'm doing good. What's up, baby Shar? What's up?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My favorite message on the bottom pieces. How you doing?

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I'm doing good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How are you? I am blessed, black, and highly favored, sir.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

That's good. That's good. I want to comment on. Jeff, can I comment on your conversation from yesterday? I think it was Pat and I don't know the gay guy's name.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jordan Cooper, man. The gay guy. What if somebody referred to you as the gay. The writer that came up, Jordan Cooper.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Oh, I do feel like when it comes to being. I don't think you should have been blocked from BET for that conversation for the statement that you had or that you made. But I do think that the statement was just unnecessary to make.

[G Herbo]

And when you leave with love, you.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Just wouldn't have even made that statement. But I don't think it was something that was worth blocking you for. If anything could have been something that your guys has talked about, even if they wanted to, like, include it as part of, like, the episode or something like that. But I don't think it's definitely worth being blocked by BET for, because it's not, like. It's not a wrong statement.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

But as far as. Was it unnecessary to make? Definitely unnecessary to make at that moment when he was talking to that lady. I don't know her name that she was talking to. What was the lady's name? Yes, but that's all. I don't think it was unnecessary to make, but also wasn't something that was worth, you know, blocking you off.

[G Herbo]

B4.

[Jess Hilarious]

Thank you, Trav.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

All right, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[DJ Envy]

Hello. Who's this? Yo, this D. What's up? Get it off your chest, brother.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Man.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Okay, okay. As I'm real quick, man, I want to get a shot, man. And about this ACA that the Democrats are fighting for, he's saying that if that the fight is over with, and I don't think so, because the. The funds don't ran out to December 31st, so they really have to. December 31st. So that's why I think they should keep fighting and hopefully that the Republican wake up and then they will, you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Know, they won't fund the health care. They won't.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Okay, I get that. But you saying that it's over with, but they have to do it December 31st. So where you getting your sources from?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is over with, actually said the premiums have already gone up. All you got to do is look up.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Obamacare enrollees have seen premiums that could jump up to over 300.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Okay, okay. They're just like. Okay, let's put it. That's like an escrow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, some people.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Okay. No, no, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, God.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Okay. They telling you that this will possibly if it don't be funded, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I said some people's already. Already has gone up.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Some people. Okay, so how many, Charlemagne? 10%, 5%?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I have.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Okay, then you don't know. All right, but it's not over with. Yes, it's not over with.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, you know, yesterday I was reading that they might be getting closer to a deal, which includes a plan to pass regular appropriations bills and a promised vote on extending expiring health insurance subsidies. I'm telling you right now that if the government has been shut down for 37 days and all they end up with is a promised vote on extending expiring health insurance subsidies, they lost. And it's okay. It was a valid fight.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I get that. I get that. But you know what I'm saying? The Republicans have not have a health care plan since it's been voted, like, 2014. You know what I'm saying? So they don't have a health care.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Plan, and they're not going. And we know this about them already.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Well, keep fighting until it's over. You know, I know people don't suffer, but you talking about a Thousand. Okay. You say a family of a thousand dollars a month going to $3,000. That's a lot of money. Charlamagne.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. And you.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

A lot of money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, you're right. And you know what? All of these government workers who are not getting no checks right now, who've already missed two, three, who can't pay their rent, can't pay their light bills, can't pay their card notes, the 42 million people who are not getting SNAP benefits, who can't eat, That's a lot of people, too. That's a lot of suffering that I don't like to see.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Okay, I get that, too. But at the same time, though, Charlemagne, listen to me now. You talking about right now versus years. Republicans don't have no plane. It's not. It's not gonna happen, my brother.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You right. But guess what? The landlord want his money right now. The light company want their money right now. And they not gonna wait. They gonna evict your ass and turn your lights off. And then what?

[DJ Envy]

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

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, we do. We're gonna talk about Mariah Carey. Y' all know normally she is the belle of Christmas and people love Mariah Carey at Christmas. But, boy, this year she has pissed some people off. They are upset.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll talk about that next. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[G Herbo]

The.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. It's the world's most dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club. Charlemagne. The God, Jess. Hilarious DJ envy. It's time for the latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Jess Hilarious]

Lauren becoming a straight thing.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets the details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She be having the latest on.

[G Herbo]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[G Herbo]

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

[DJ Envy]

Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Alrighty, y'.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Mariah Carey. Who? You know, when Mariah Carey says that it is time to start celebrating Christmas, that is when the people start celebrating Christmas because she has been the belle of the holiday for so long. But this year she released a video to let us know it was time. She posted on her Instagram a few days ago and it has upset some people. So this is an ad that she did in collaboration with Sephora. Let's take a listen to the campaign Halloween slate.

[Mimi Brown]

But now.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It'S time.

[DJ Envy]

Spill the tea.

[G Herbo]

Who's the thief.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bad news, Mariah Carey. The elves are striking this year. Elf revenge for putting us through holiday hell. Santa's helper quit. I'm pawning all this so I can afford elf therapy.

[Mimi Brown]

That's my blush, elf Boy, your lipstick.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm taking it. Christmas, it's canceled. No bells, no cheer, no glam. Bye, sweetie.

[Mimi Brown]

You can't cancel Christmas.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Any last words?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, it's time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, it's that time of year, man.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but he mad, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So people are upset just because of some of the things that they mentioned in the video and what's actually happening in people's real lives right now. So the striking or people feeling like they're pushing back, trying to get more money from jobs, People not even having jobs at this point in at Christmas kind of. Not kind of Christmas being canceled for some families, them not being able to afford certain things. And the elf mentions like he can't afford therapy. And people, you know, it triggers some people who actually this year are not going to be able to celebrate the holiday because of everything that's going on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all say some people. You talking about people on social media.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. I mean, it's been a thing. Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We got to make sure them don't be bots and stuff sometimes.

[DJ Envy]

I thought the elves were striking because it seems like Christmas starts early all the time and elves are like, I don't want to start this early.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't want to start this early.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They don't want to. They don't want to overwork. So that, you know. And then that's a conversation because right now people feel there's a. With the government shutdown, people are working right now. They're not being paid at all or so not adequately. And so they can't celebrate the holidays. So people just feel like that it's. It's tone deaf for the season at.

[Jess Hilarious]

Her for collaborating with Sephora to sell stocking stuffers or something like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I thought, I thought it was a joke based on the fact that Christmas is starting earlier and earlier every year. Like people are putting their lights up earlier. People are, you know, starting to put out Christmas ads earlier. Start Christmas music earlier. That's what I thought the commercial was playing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We, we know her intentions are always to be about, yes, the holiday season. It was happening. But I think, yeah, people are upset. Like they're in the comments of her. The video that she posted, like, this is so tone deaf. You're playing in our face. Why would you.

[Jess Hilarious]

And then there are some people who actually really can like afford that. Who are looking at that collaboration like, oh, okay, I'm gonna go get that. Like, you know what I'm saying? And then like stocking stuffers like you, these are about to be gifts for people for the holidays. Like, that's the point of her dropping it too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Just so she can. It's just watch. It's gonna be affordable like a stocking stuffer. We always see celebrities do this around this time, you know, around the holidays where they team up with a big corporation and come out with products at a discounted rate that you can get for gifts. I agree.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And I think also too, like, this ad wasn't shot like yesterday, so we don't know when it was shot.

[DJ Envy]

It doesn't seem.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And also she always plays off of Christmas. Yeah, she's trying to bring the Christmas joy that season looks early. Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, the elves don't want to work this early. Like it has nothing to do with regular people. Like we've been talking about this every year.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is fake outrage. There's a couple of people on social media, but this is not real outrage.

[DJ Envy]

It'll work. I bet you she pulls it down by the end of the week, November 1st.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know what she posted after this? She posted some of her Christmas merch that she's selling. She's standing on it. I mean, if that's what she wants to do. Because her intention every year is to bring joy no matter what's happening. So I think people have to remember that as well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do know that this is the biggest capitalism time of the year. What are we talking about?

[DJ Envy]

But Christmas makes me happy. I put the lights on my house because I like it. I feel like a kid again when the lights on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I like it. My kids like it.

[Jess Hilarious]

This is when you unplug this, what Mimi Brown was talking about in front page news. Like, yo, if you know it's something that somebody always trying to sell you and you don't got no money, unplug like don't, don't subscribe to it. Just keep scrolling. I get it. It triggers you, it makes you upset. But going to the extent of, you know, bashing her or being upset with her because she's selling a product, it's just crazy. It's like just unplugged.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. You're not escaping that this time of year though. Like there's nowhere you're not going to go and see a sale. You can get off social media, you can turn your tv walking down the street, you gonna see mad Christmas It's Christmas time.

[Jess Hilarious]

You're not escaping watch tv. But that's the thing that, that's the access that we have on social media because you're not gonna watch TV and write the company or the commercials.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Y' all really planning out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right. You're not gonna run up in the store. You're not gonna be walking down the street and see a sale and be like, you are really playing in my face. Right?

[DJ Envy]

These Christmas sales.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[DJ Envy]

Don't give me no sale. Like what?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, somebody. There was one comment on Mariah Carey's video. Somebody tagged Fenty Beauty and was like, I'm. The fact that y' all like this is disappointing. I'm like, they got sales too. I just went and shopped Fenty Beauty's Christmas stuff. Like it's, it's just happening. But we'll see. I did reach out to Mariah Carey, Steven, to see if they'll be responding, but I doubt it.

[DJ Envy]

I, I don't reach out to them.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

All right, I got more. We got one more.

[Mimi Brown]

For almost a decade, the mur of an 18 year old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky went unsolved until a local homemaker, a journalist and a handful of girls came forward with a story.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her.

[Mimi Brown]

We know a story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national tv.

Housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran.

My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist producer and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find.

I did not know her and I did not kill her or rape or.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Burn or any of that other stuff.

[G Herbo]

That y' all said.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Us each and every Monday. I was going through a walk in my neighborhood. Out of the blue, I see this huge sign next to somebody's house.

[Mimi Brown]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

The sign says, my neighbor is a Karen.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No way. I died laughing.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm like, I have to know. You are lying.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Humongous, y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They had some time on their hands.

[Jess Hilarious]

Listen to Reasonably Shady from the Black.

[Jess Hilarious]

Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Lauren LaRosa]

A Billboard airplay chart with her song How Was I Supposed to Know? Now her creator, Talisha Jones, sat down with Gayle King on CBS Mornings. Let's take a listen to her talking about AI artists being on Billboard. How Was I Supposed to Know has landed Zanaya Monet on five Billboard charts, including a radio airplay chart. Billboard believes that's an AI First. Were you surprised by the reaction? Yeah, I was totally surprised. And then a lot of people started reaching out.

[Jess Hilarious]

But Nikki, they thought Zaniyah was a real person. Zaniyah is an extension of me, so.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I look at her as a real person. But you can't sing.

[Jess Hilarious]

She's not a real person. What do you say to people that say she may be an extension of.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You, but other singers who are actually.

[Jess Hilarious]

Have worked hard, who have practiced their.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Craft, who are really struggling to get hurt, who were really doing the actual singing that you seem to have circumvented, taken a shortcut through all of that? I wouldn't call it a shortcut because I still put in the work. And anytime something new comes about and.

[Jess Hilarious]

It challenges the norm, you're going to.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Get strong reactions behind it. And I just feel like AI is the new era that we're in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I'm gonna tell you how dumb I am. I saw the young lady sitting with Gayle King, and I thought to myself, I thought she was AI. I was like, this AI is getting out of hand.

[Lauren LaRosa]

This woman. Well, Talisha is beautiful. Yeah, I saw her, too, and I was like, why? She looks airbrushed, but she's a real person.

[DJ Envy]

It's a problem for creatives, right? Because it's like if I could make up an artist, I don't have to deal with an artist. I don't have to deal with management. I don't have to deal with percentages. I don't have to. I can do everything for the artist, put them out. That's going to be a problem for a lot of artists because a lot of labels are going to say, I'd rather sign this AI version and not have to deal with the bl.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You still got to do a deal with what's her name.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It writes all the music. It's. It's originally like you write it.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, she. Well, she.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's like the label.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But Talisha doesn't have to deal with anybody.

[DJ Envy]

Doesn't necessarily have to write it. She puts what the. It should be singing and it just makes it for mixing song for.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, Talisha writes. She's. She writes poems and all. All of the songs she actually writes now she does put together. She talked through her process in this interview about how she does the beats and the melodies and all that. But she writes poems and writes all the lyrics to the songs that we hear and they're based off of her real experiences about like not having a father and different things she's been through.

[DJ Envy]

So that's why I would be doing all that without her. You could just put in, write me an R B song about breakup and bring. It'll be done.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. So you say the AI gonna be like iRobot. They're gonna have a mind of their own.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I don't think it's advancing that fast, is it? It's advancing fast. Moving pretty fast.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Getting on a Billboard chart since. And yeah, she's self taught only four months. But Jermaine Dupree just tweeted this morning, he said. So let me get this right. Years ago the industry found out that Millie Vanilli really weren't the voices on their Grammy winning record and they were stripped of their Grammy. But now we're getting ready to accept people who can't even sing create songs for a fake person. How is this any different than Millie Vanilla?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got a point.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, she's on the Billboard chart though, so shout out to her Talisha. She's doing something.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well that is the latest with Laura. Now when we come back, we got front page news and then G Herbal will be joining us. His new album Little Herb is out tomorrow. We'll talk to him in a few. It's the Breakfast Club.

All right.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, we start this hour with election results still coming in from across the country where voters made decisions on everything from guns to school to taxes to family rights. In Maine, voters approved a red flag gun law that will allow families to ask a court to temporarily take firearms away from relatives who pose a danger to themselves or others. That makes Maine the 22nd state with an extreme risk protection law. Now, that will replace a yellow flag law which required police involvement and a mental health assessment before guns could be removed. Now, Maine voters, they also rejected a separate ballot measure that would have added voter ID requirements and tightened absentee voting rules. And in Texas, voters approved two constitutional amendments, one reaffirming that only US Citizens can vote and another enshrining parental rights in the state's constitution. And in Colorado, voters signed off on a plan to raise taxes on the state's top earners. So those making over $300,000 a year and that will help pay for free school meals for all students, extra funds will also go towards boosting SNAP food assistance in that state for those folks in Colorado. Now, these state level wins for Democrats and progressive policies have sparked a sharp reaction from President Trump who took to Truth Social again urging Republicans to terminate the filibuster and move quickly to reform voter laws. Let's listen.

[DJ Envy]

It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do, and that's terminate the filibuster. It's the only way you can do it. And if you don't terminate the filibuster, you'll be in bad shape.

[G Herbo]

We won't pass any legislation.

[DJ Envy]

There'll be no legislation passed for three and a quarter. We have three and a quarter years. So that's a long time. We should start tonight with the country is Open. Congratulations. Then we should pass voter id. We should pass no mail in voting. We should pass all the things that we want to pass, make our election secure and safe.

[G Herbo]

Because California is a disaster.

[DJ Envy]

Many of the states are disasters. You go to a grocery store, you have to give id. You go to a gas station, you give id. But for voting, they want no voter id. It's only for one reason, because they choose.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, since Tuesday Republicans have been playing the victim, acting like they under attack, and they literally play like they don't have power there. And they're going to use Tuesday to speed up whatever they've been cooking up the rig or cancel the elections in 2026 and 2028.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know about y', all, but.

[Mimi Brown]

When you go to the grocery store or to the gas station, do you need an id? I know here in California.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Mimi Brown]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To do what?

[DJ Envy]

I guess if you use your credit card. But even when you use your credit card, you know, I don't have to pull up my id.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, same. So a little confusing what he was talking about there. But Democrats, you're right, Charlamagne are hoping that Tuesday's results, though, they send a clear message to Republicans. But I think Republicans are using that in another way to kind of see what they can do to change some of those laws going forward as we head into the midterm.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I saw Mike Johnson say yesterday, you know, if they lose the majority, they'll try to end the Trump administration. He won't have four years, he'll only have two. They are literally, it's a rope, a dope. Like they're literally acting like they're under attack just so they can speed up whatever they're cooking up. The rig will cancel the elections in 26 and 28.

[Mimi Brown]

All right. And we've got a follow up this morning on a story that we mentioned last month, that Blexit tour that was making its way through HBCU homecoming season, well, it wrapped up this past weekend with final stops at Bowie State and Lincoln University and the Blexit Educate to Liberate tour. It's part of a conservative movement co founded by commentator Candace Owen and backed by Turning Point usa. That name stands for Black Exit, which is a push to get more black Americans to consider, reconsider their political ties and embrace conservative values. Now, for the third year in a row, the group, they visited HBCUs across the country during homecoming season, talking with students about politics, race and identity. Now, organizers say the goal was to start conversations, not to recruit. But many students across several HBCUs were skeptical about the group's intentions. Let's listen to some of the students and their reaction as the the group was there on campuses.

[Jess Hilarious]

I feel unsettled.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You're coming to one of the biggest events at Howard, and I feel like a lot of people that are here are pretty liberal.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

So and just how upsetting and, like emotional it gets for people is very strategic.

[G Herbo]

They're definitely just looking for someone to, they're looking for content, someone to rage bait or something like that. It was nothing that made me like, you know, give him a side eye or anything. He just acts pretty genuinely. General questions, hopefully they just don't cause any ruckus.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody's trying to bicker.

[Mimi Brown]

Several HBCU said Blexit members didn't have permission to film or to host events. Some schools like Hampton, had the group escorted off campus.

[DJ Envy]

Campus, I heard, I didn't see them.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, they had them kicked off campus. But places like Bowie State, that's where they were this past weekend. They had to stay. They were allowed to stay because Bowie is a public university. So a lot of faculty. They were also questioning why the group was focusing on younger students. They were targeting freshmen that they said. And they were saying that they were using statistics without full context and they were focusing on crime and social issues. So as a tour has wrapped up, it's left behind more questions and answers, more about whether this kind of outreach belongs on HBCU campuses. During homecoming. And between these nonstop headlines, the politics, the constant stream of breaking news, a lot of people are simply tapping out. Experts say social media fatigue is real. And after years of endless scrolling, more Americans, especially Gen Z millennials, they say that they are burned out online. Pew data research shows that people are deleting apps, taking digital breaks or cutting back on screen time just to breathe. Now researchers, they call it digital downsizing. That's trading the doom scrolling for real life connection and better mental health. And it's not just everyday users feeling this. A lot of content creators say that they are feeling pressure. They're pulling back, posting less and focusing on balance. And experts say, though, it's just not about quitting social media altogether. It's about knowing when to unplug, when to turn out the noise and when to protect your piece. All right, y'.

[G Herbo]

All.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's what's up.

[DJ Envy]

How's it feel? Number one record.

[G Herbo]

I feel good. I'm not gonna lie. I feel great. It feel great. I just be trying to, like, stay in the moment and just. Just keep it, like, up, you know, like when you. When you got those type of moments, you just trying to figure out, like, all right, well, I. Me personally, like, I gotta figure out what's the next best thing. Like, what do I do next from that? Like, I. I try to live in a moment and grasp up that energy, but just keep it going. Like, you're not trying to catch another number one. I'm just trying to keep it going.

[DJ Envy]

Did you expect that to be the record? Because it's not your typical. Of course. It was just you just spitting lie.

[G Herbo]

Hell nah. For sure. I was just literally, I can't say it enough. It was just me just having fun in the studio. I was in New York and was in the studio. Me, Southside Smack. And you know, Southside, like, I really. I be having to give a lot of credit to big bro. Cause he one of the only people that could tell me, like, rap on this. Just rap on this and figure it out. Like, just rap. And that's what I did. And that changed my life.

[Jess Hilarious]

Who as a single, you was talking your on there?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Who picked it as a single, like. Or was it just. I'm just gonna release and see what happened and it just took off.

[G Herbo]

That's what I'm saying. That's why, like, as artists, you gotta, like, really just bet on yourself. For real. For real. Because I was in a mode of just trying to do music and see what the streets connected to. I didn't even. I like that song came out in December on my app. I got an app on my own app, like, where I just put out music material Content, all this it just for the people who really support me. Like, you know what I'm saying? My fans, they know about the G herbo Apple. I put it out on my app on a project that I was just recording all samples to. Like I did a project with all samples and it couldn't even go on Apple Music. It couldn't go on dsps. You see what I'm saying? Like I put it out on the app in December and the label put it out on DSPs in like March, April. So it's like you guys just try and just see what the street was.

[Jess Hilarious]

Congratulations on your app. I ain't had an appreciate it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Has it changed the bag? Has that single changed your bag?

[G Herbo]

Absolutely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cause see, I be thinking that you know, a lot of people be fronting on like the power of radio and having a big radio record speak to that man.

[G Herbo]

For sure. I always been like, I knew because I've been independent this whole time. So I know about like analytics, I know about like residuals. I know what like one record could really change your life.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[G Herbo]

You know what I'm saying? Like, and I finally caught that record. Like that life changing record. So yeah, the bag been crazy since.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The royalties from radio are better than the Screamers.

[G Herbo]

Yeah, absolutely. For sure. And it's like once you, once you get a song that really go radio, it's like it just like it just change everything. For real, for real.

[DJ Envy]

Changes the places you actually perform.

[G Herbo]

Yeah, for sure. Right, exactly. Like you could put, you could put, you put money in radio for sure for it to do what it's supposed to do. But just like even like it's a difference between like putting something in radio for just get on the radio for the, to get like rhythmic playlists, you know what I'm saying? Like all of that, that is, it's just a big super difference. Like I'll be talking to like make all the time and just like once you get a record like I'm not even talking about went legit. Like it's certain records that like the format where you know, it could go radio, you know what I'm saying? Like I feel like every artist, all you need is like one radio record a year. Just one. Like you feel what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

It ain't that easy to get one record break.

[G Herbo]

It's not easy at all. But like you know, Hitmaker, that's my big brother. Like he, he the, the God of this. Like, you feel what I'm saying? Like he know the whole formula he do it like, and that's why he's so rich like that richest. Because he on radio every year at.

[DJ Envy]

Least figured it out, right?

[G Herbo]

For sure. Why Little Herb, While I heard, I was just trying to like tap into like that old hunger, like my old self. And when I be rapping good and like I be reading the comments and sometime my fans be like, like, oh, that ain't, that ain't G herbo. That's Lil Herb, you know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like that was like one of my best eras of rap. Like I always been able to rap. I'm an emcee, so it's like I don't care if I'm not even all the way tapped into like my confidence and all of that. I'm always gonna be able to rap good, you feel me? But like, once you really focus on straight rap, it's different. And that's what I was trying to do. So that's why I went and like, like name my album Lil Herb. Like I was going to like listen to old interviews, listen to old music videos, I mean, watch old music videos, listen to old songs like that. And like, I was just trying to find like a higher like level of rap for myself, you know what I'm saying? Like, and I say this all the time. Like you could really get caught up in what's in front of you. Like, always been the type of person like, like I say this a lot. A lot of rooms that I was in, I wasn't really in the rooms, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm thinking about like my past. I'm thinking about what I gotta do when I get out the room. Like, I'm just saying what's up? Like certain conversations that I really couldn't have because my mind is all over the place. You feel me? Like, so like in this like era where I am mentally, I was just trying to like find that old hunger that made me enjoy what I have now. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, like that's, that's why I really named my project Little Herb. Because like you like on a day to day, I'm 30 years old, I've been rapping since I was like 16. For real, for real. Like, you feel me? And I was trying to figure out like, damn, like, like all the steps that it took me to get here. You feel what I'm saying? Like I forgot a lot. I'm not gonna lie. It's a lot of that I did that I forgot so it's like I wanted to. To make myself remember, so I had to like, go back in and like, tap in with my old self. For real.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I heard you say Little Herb is a full circle moment and it's a return to the fundamentals. But you closing the chapter on the Little Herb area, what does. What does closing that chapter actually look like?

[G Herbo]

Closing that chapter is like, for real, just letting go. Like, it's a lot of. I held on to that. I just don't need no more. Like, for real. For real. Like the streets.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That therapy talk right there, boy.

[G Herbo]

Yeah, just letting go. For real. For real. And it is. It is definitely therapy that help me. It's like a lot of that you hold on to you just like, just let it go. Just let it go and just let it find you. You know what I'm saying? Like, no, for real. Like, I was one of them people that just like, my heart so big and I feel like people knew that. Like, people knew that. Like, they. They grabbed me and I'm grabbing them back. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm holding on to that type of. It's like that's just letting that chapter go. Like, and people been saying this to me for years, and I've been knowing it, but I never really acted on it. Like, I. I shouldn't focus on nothing but music and my family and like, God, like, that's the only thing that I should wake up and care about. I shouldn't really give a. About how somebody else eat or have somebody else get to work or get to sleep or any of that. And I worried about that for years. Like, let's be closing that chapter. Like, I'mma tap into this, tell my story and just let go or let go and let God. For real. For real. And that go for everything and everybody. And it's a whole nother chapter opening for me. Because everything that got me here, I don't. I don't even really have it no more. For real. For, like, all my friends dead. I'm a going to be a real 100 independent artist. Like, I don't got no label, no production company. I'm 100% a real new person and a new artist. So it's like, I just want to just tap into this, do what I need to do. And I'm already doing it for real. But just like, letting go. For real. Like, I don't want to have no attachments other than family.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No bull.

[DJ Envy]

Now you talk about Meek Mill changing your life, right? You said he Was your inspiration. Break that down of what you seen in Meek that made you think that you can do it.

[G Herbo]

I just got done listening to we gonna get this money right now. On my way here. Like, Meek is my favorite, favorite rapper. For real, bro. It's my big brother. And I was just with Meek last night. We just did a song last night. We was in the studio last night, I believe. But, like, I. I used to listen to Meek and watch Meek when he was a battle rapper, but when he really got rich and made this happen, it's like, all right. But that, like, it's different for me watching, like, Wayne and Hope and you know what I'm saying? Like, I couldn't. Like, I. I could relate to it, but it's like. Like, when I grew up and me grow, I seen them rich already. Like, yeah, I seen me turn rich. Coming from the streets and going through all the. That he went through and really, like, talking about it and preaching, like, positivity and motivation, that made me feel like I just want to be like that. For real, for real. Like, that really, like, helped me grow into the artist that I am today. For real, for real. Because, like, damn. Like, it's Meek. Like, it's not like he was an artist and he was, like, far away. You feel what I'm saying? Like, I felt like I could grasp onto that and become that. Like, this is a real street that became the biggest in the world. Like, he became the biggest, best rap, and he's a rap guy. Like, I love rapping. I'm an mc, so I study that first and foremost. But just a blueprint of, like. And, like, he.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He.

[G Herbo]

Like, he gave you the real blueprint. Like, you get on you. You take care. You do what you supposed to do. You take care of your family, your mother. Like that to make me, like, I just used to have to just give money to my mama. Just, like, thinking about that type of. You know what I'm saying? Like, I retired my mom when I was 16 years old, bro. Literally. And it put a lot of pressure on me. I told my mama stopped working when I was 16. She never worked since. I've been taking care of her, my aunties, my whole family, since I was 16. That's a lot of pressure.

[DJ Envy]

That's a hell of a pressure. A lot of pressure. Now you're the Meek Mill for a lot of these younger artists.

[G Herbo]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

So what do you show them? To show them that they can do it. What do you do different? So because, you know, you got a lot of kids Watching you, they want.

[G Herbo]

To be herbo for sure. Like for me it's, I just try to like. What's the word? Like you gotta like show em like what Meek did for real. Like being a show em tangible. You just gotta show em like I, I like the thing with me that I feel like make a difference a lot is I let people see me in the physical. Like you gotta see it like have conversations. Like seeing is believing. You feel what I'm saying? Like you know you could do this when you could actually get in front of somebody like me growing up I never seen nobody that I looked up to and I wanted to be like in front of me, talking to me, you know what I'm saying? Like I just had to have a manpower. Like I could do it, I'm gonna do it. You feel what I'm saying? Like and it happened for me, me and when I got a certain age, like 19, 28, like those ages when I started traveling and having conversations with people that I looked up to but like 14, 15, 16, them years really matter where. It's like, you know what I'm saying? I, I try to be the person where I just go back and do certain things and go touch the community and you know what I'm saying? Tell them that they could really make it. Like this is nothing for real. Like. But like. And I ain't gonna say it's nothing. Like it's, it's a task for sure. It's hard but it's easy. At the same time. All you gotta do is wake up and strive to go get it and want to do it and believe that you could do it. You just gotta have a vision, you feel what I'm saying? Like and, and when I go look at like these kids and be going to talk and have conversations like they got the same power that I got. Like they really got something in them. They just don't think it's possible, this is really possible. Like they. When you wake up and all you got is this 4 block radius in your hood and that you dealing with every day you think that's your life but it's like it's so much outside of that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[G Herbo]

All you got to know is how to break that cycle. And you found saying like that's, that's the thing with me. Like I feel like that's what make a difference in why people like believe in me. Because I try. I let them touch me, I let them, you know what I'm saying? Pause like, you know what I'm saying? I go see the people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm thinking about something now. And you made me think about it when you said you've been rapping since you was 19. Because I can remember, like, your first, first 16, 16, 16. I can remember your first early Breakfast Club interviews, right? But then it started getting me thinking about all of these artists we've seen from Chicago that have come through. Come through here the past 15 years. You talk about what's possible, man, you are proof that surviving is possible. Yeah, Chief Keef is proof that surviving is possible.

[G Herbo]

Sosa, definitely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, people like Dirk that's locked up, people like Vaughn that's no longer here. Plenty other artists we probably interview from Chicago.

[G Herbo]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How does that feel?

[G Herbo]

It feel great, man. You know, and I'm gonna say this again. I'm a shout make out real quick because he just told me the other day. And this. If it feels different, it's a different feeling to him saying it's like, like he, like, man, when you. The chosen one, it's certain things that just affect you differently. You know what I'm saying? Like, and I learned that from the streets. Like, I didn't bump my head so many times and did so much and been arrested and fell off and came back or whatever the case may be. You know what I'm saying? It's like when you do certain things, God just punish you differently because you can't get away with that. You feel what I'm saying? Like, you would think you would see somebody else doing it, like, oh, he did it it. And you can't do that because God got a different path for you. And surviving in Chicago, just making it out of the streets alone is a blessing. Like, it's literally like I'd be seeing some of my homies and certain people that just like. But. And I understand it, other people don't get it. Like, it's certain people where you just, like, you just like, wash your hands with everything. I know certain. That was real menaces in the street. Streets that don't do nothing but just be at home with a girl and their kids now because they just want peace. Like, damn, I made it out there. I can't believe I'm still alive. Like, a lot of people never experience life to that capacity where they just grateful that they're alive, that they still here. You feel what I'm saying? And there's a lot of people when it comes to surviving, you gotta make decisions and it got to be calculated. And there's a lot of people that's just Raised off survival do. When you would do anything, it's a difference. Like when you survive and you just raised off survival. Like, I'm trying to explain that. Well, like, it's certain people where if you just like, survive was your first instinct, you would do anything.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[G Herbo]

You would kill your closest friend, you a snitch, robbed, rob, steal from your mama, your grandma. And you gotta understand, it's like, that's just life. It's certain people who don't know nothing else. They was raised officer violence. They mother and father raised them off of survival. So it's like a lot of people don't understand that. You feel I'm saying, it's just me being here today. I try to, like, I think that's one of the reasons why, like, I probably got took advantage of so much. Cause I understand both sides of the fence. And I try to get everybody the benefit of the doubt. You know what I'm saying? Like, I try to, like, think about putting myself in other people's shoes before I make a decision.

[Jess Hilarious]

Decision.

[G Herbo]

If I'm saying, like, I always. Before I do anything, I always think about the consequences, repercussions, everything. So if I do something to anybody or do anything, I thought about it so many times, I'm comfortable with, have it play out. You know what I'm saying? And like, you, like, it's only certain people that think like that, especially in life. And coming from Chicago, you got to think about both sides of the fence. It's certain people that think a lot, and there's certain people that don't think at all. You feel me? And it's a blessing to be here, for sure. For sure. Cause I seen a lot. I experienced a lot. I've seen a lot of death. And I just come from one of the toughest neighborhoods in Chicago. Like, one of the most poverty struck in neighborhoods where it's like, I was a kid and people used to. Like, a lady walked. I think I said this before on a Breakfast Club interview when I was a shorty. Like, a lady walked up on me. I'm waiting on my mom. She coming from the laundromat. Lady walked up on me like, you got some sea. I'm like, like, she like, what? I'm like, what? She like, you got some C. She ask for crack. I'm. I'm like 9 years old. I'm like 9, 10. Waiting on my mama to come in the house. She like, you got some C? I'm like, what?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[G Herbo]

She asked me if I had crack. Literally, a kid Three in the morning, I'm outside, cuz that's it's nine year old selling crack.

[DJ Envy]

For real.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

For real. Like, so when did you get some to sell?

[Jess Hilarious]

Jesus.

[G Herbo]

That's the statue of limitations with this. For real. Like, I didn't sold crack. I didn't sold some crack. It's a statue of limitations for sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How therapeutic was this album though, in regards to your grieving process? Because I hear you mention your brother a lot, especially on Give It All.

[Jess Hilarious]

How.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How did that help?

[G Herbo]

I ain't going to lie that I've been dealing with death since I was a kid, bro. Like, I lost. I started losing friends when I was like 14 years old, you know, like, and, and I'm talking about that. I'm touching on that in my, in my al. My project. But you gotta really like realize I'm 30 years old. I've been losing people I love for 15 years. Like.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[G Herbo]

And still managing to wake up and make it happen and bg herbo and take pictures and smile for the fans. Like, I really didn't lost some of my best friends and had to go do a show that same day. You feel what I'm saying? Like, my homie cap died 2015. I had to perform in front of 10,000 people. I just had to find it in me. A lot of people can't do that. A lot of people, like, man, I just lost my homie. I'm gonna go spin. Like, I wanted to go do the show. So it's like, I feel like I'm really destined for this. I chose my own destiny, I chose my own path. And I'm saying that, like, for me to experience all of that death and feel like I was numb to it, when my little brother died, it changed my life. That was some of the worst pain that I ever felt in my life ever. Like I. I could never, I never could fathom. Like, and. And I'm. I'm a street. Like when I wake out, when I walk out the house, I feel like I'm gonna die. Like, you know, like, I really feel like that. And that's what get me home, you feel? I'm saying, like every step, every move that I take is calculated. And I never felt like he was gonna die. You know what I'm saying? Like, no, bullshit. I never ever think like him. Hell no. And I just, just. I never thought he was gonna die. Every day I wake out, wake up, I really feel like I'm a die. I feel like somebody would do something to me and that's Just the life I live. And that's just.

[DJ Envy]

You still feel like that? Because I remember last time you said you feel like that, you said you were going to therapy to help you.

[G Herbo]

Yeah, it helped me with ptsd. It helped me with it. But, like, nah, hell no. And I. And I'm glad that even going through therapy and, like, growing and healing the way that I've healed in my life, I'm. I'm kind of glad that I never lost that edge, for real. Because that's how I protect myself. That's how I protect my children. That's how I make sure I get back home. You feel? I'm saying, like, I'm not out here thugging. I ain't wild, and I ain't doing no crazy. Some days I leave the house and it just be just me by myself, no security, nothing. But I'm still on point. I'm still watching my back. I'm still aware of my surroundings. You feel what I'm saying? So it's like, I'm glad that I never lost that edge. For real. For real. And when, like, going back to what. You know what I'm saying? What you said? Charlamagne. Like, like, when I. When my little brother died, I lost myself. Like, I became an alcoholic. Like, a badass alcoholic. I never used to drink, bro. I used to drink a fifth of liquor every single day. Like, every day by myself. Like, and my girl was pregnant when he died. You feel me? Like, and I was, like. I was trying to, like, not be that weak around her. You feel me? Because she know I done been through, like, she done been around me, and I done lost homies. You feel what I'm saying? Like, Like. And she used to, like, say, like, snap out of it. Like, you feel me? Like, she used to, like, say, but it's like, I can't. It was just so hard for me. I really couldn't. For real. Like, I used to have to leave the house just to go cry. Like, swear to God, like, just go get in the car and just cry for an hour straight. Cause I ain't want to do that in front of her. And I felt like I should have. I should have, I should have. But I was like, I don't know. I just.

[Jess Hilarious]

And when she say snap out of it, what does she mean?

[G Herbo]

Like, not snap out of the grief, Snap out of the healing, Snap out of the crashing out.

[DJ Envy]

Like, drinking.

[G Herbo]

Drinking every day and wanting to go to the club and just feel something, because I really can't feel nothing. You feel what I'M saying, Like, that was like. That's what she used to tell me to snap out of. And it was like. It was hard, man. I ain't gonna lie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to go back to one thing you said in regards to how you reacted. Death. Because, you know, staying busy is a response to trauma, Mama. Yeah, right. And. And we saw that in real time, if you don't mind me bringing this up. Like. Like, people don't know. The day your father passed. God bless.

[G Herbo]

I came in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You were scheduled to do a Breakfast Club interview. You came in the studio and still.

[DJ Envy]

Wanted to do it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, bro, go home. Like, what the. What the hell?

[G Herbo]

And I. I'm. I love you forever for that. Because I really was here to do that. And it's like. That's the thing. Like, I'm so used to death, and used to. It's like I didn't even process it for real. Like, I came here. Cause it's like I really was in my head trying to. For my dad is dead.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[G Herbo]

But I gotta, like, understand it. I gotta know. Like, yeah, my pops just died today. I need to process that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like. And you had just got the news while you was in the car on the way here. Yeah.

[G Herbo]

My dad was in the hospital. I knew he was sick, and I found out he died, and I just came here. I don't know. I just, like, I. I don't even. Like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What are you doing, bro? Like, we're not doing no Internet.

[G Herbo]

Yeah, no, he told me, like, bro, just go home. Like, just. Yeah, leave, bro. For real. For real.

[Jess Hilarious]

The rest of that day, like, what did you do? Did you reflect on it? Were you afraid to even.

[G Herbo]

I was afraid. I was afraid because, like, when you lose a parent, that's different. For real, for. And my dad, like, I didn't. I didn't have an absent father. Like, my father been living with me my entire life. Like, my mother and my dad been together 40 years. For real. For real. And, like. And I think I was just trying to, like. Like, not feel it. Like, not process it. Like, you know what I'm saying? I was just like, all right, bet. Let me just do it. And, like, that's the. That's the problem. Like, that's the thing. Like, you feel like, all right, let me just do it and push through this. And this is my job. This is my life. Like, you gotta put that to the side. Sometimes when you're going through things like that, you feel what I'm saying. And the rest of that day for me was really just Like, I was scared. Like, I ain't want to call my mama. I ain't want to talk to my sister. It took me so long to just ask my sister, are you okay? How you doing? Going? It was super hard.

[Jess Hilarious]

You weren't okay?

[G Herbo]

Yeah, like, I was scared to, like, had them conversations with her. Like, how you feeling? You know what I'm saying? Even my mom, like, I keep my mom close to me and my mom like this, you feel me? And I. I know it. Like, I. I could see it. I know she was not okay. And I used to avoid them conversations, you know what I'm saying? Like, she bring stuff up and, like, send me pictures and all that. It was. It was like I'd have been in therapy. I'm a person that's not, like, shy from my emotions. Like, I'm in tune with my emotions, all of that. Like, it was hard because, like, for me, just. I just thought he had more time. Like, I just wanted him to be here. So I wasn't trying to, like, live in reality because I'm still. I was still grieving my little brother, you know what I'm saying? Like, so when that happened, it was just like, I didn't want to believe that my dad was there because I be on the road. Sometimes I go eight months without seeing my pops. So it's like, you feel me? Like, eight, nine months without seeing them at all. Sometimes I go months without talking to him. So I was trying to like, like tap into that. Like, you feel me? Like, let me just get in that mentality. Like he, like he here, but you know what I'm saying? But he. My pops really like that crazy. I think about that every day. Like, man, really died on me. And it's crazy. Like, I pray every day. Like, I pray so much because my pops, my last conversation with him, my dad died the day after his birthday. Like, my birthday, October 8th. My dad birthday, October 16th. He died on the 17th. And my last conversation with him, I called him, I said, happy birthday. I said, man, you on your way, boy, you getting old. Like, I'm like, you getting old, boy? And he died. Like, that was the last thing I said to my pops. Like, boy, you on your way, Boy, you about to be 70, you know what I'm saying? Like, you getting old? Stop getting old.

[Jess Hilarious]

You said that I was on my way.

[G Herbo]

Yeah, I hope so. I want him to now he haven't checked. I want him to. I hope he. I hope he's telling me that tonight. Like, that gave me a lot of Comfort. For real. For real.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, is it hard to write about? I mean, like I said, you write about your brother now.

[G Herbo]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you think your brother will pass three years ago.

[G Herbo]

Five.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Five.

[G Herbo]

Okay, five years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So is it hard? It's hard to put that on paper.

[G Herbo]

Right now in a way, like, only, like, I'll just, like, for sure. Like, in a way, I just rap about, like, my pop's passing. I never. Like, I didn't. Got all the way. Like, I didn't made songs, like, paying homage to my brother. Like, give it all. That song is about my brother and made songs just talking about how I felt that day. Like, I done made multiple songs about my brother dying. Like, I ain't did it for my pops yet. All I said on wax, for real, is just like my dad did. Like, I never spoke about the emotions, how I felt, none of that. So, yeah, it is definitely tough because I. I don't know, I feel, like, mentally or just where I'm at in life. Like, I ain't been able to tap into that pain yet. Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

We want to get into something off the album. What you. What you want to hear off the album, man?

[G Herbo]

Let's play Give it all. It's one of my favorite songs.

[DJ Envy]

We appreciate you for joining us, brother. Pick up Herbal album this week, and it's the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Somebody wants to tell Lauren she got a segment to do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She forgot.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know where she's at.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is she late for the lady?

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Hold on.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, let's hit the button for the ladies, and.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, yo.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

All right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Becoming a straight fan.

[DJ Envy]

She gets into somebody that knows somebody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She gets the details.

[Lauren LaRosa]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She'd be having the latest on this.

[G Herbo]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[G Herbo]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk to me, LL Cool Bay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Turn the mic on today.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I can't hear myself. Okay, I'm here. I can hear me. Hey, y'.

[Jess Hilarious]

All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So we are back with some more things. Okay, so Kim Kardashian sat down with Niecy Nash. You know that they've been everywhere. Her, Tiana Taylor, like, the whole cast of All's Fair or All Things Fair. All's Fair Os fair.

[Mimi Brown]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So they've been promoting their show. So they sat down, they had the goat talk. Conversation. So they're talking about different goat moments in their life, and they talk about the goat meal that they cook. And Kim K. Says she's the queen of soul food. Let's take a listen.

[Mimi Brown]

Goat dish. You can cook.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know this for me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your gumbo?

[Jess Hilarious]

No. Oh, crabs.

[Mimi Brown]

Crabs. Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I make crabs every single weekend. And I feel like if I was gonna choose what you would say, it would be absolutely nothing. No, I don't feel like you cook, Kimberly. Noel. I just don't. I don't.

[Mimi Brown]

I'm a one trick pony. I know one meal, and it's a good one.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let me guess.

[Mimi Brown]

And I'm gonna make it for you. And you're going to be really proud of me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Is it greens?

[Mimi Brown]

Nope.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Macaroni and cheese.

[Mimi Brown]

It's the whole shebang. Because I sold my soul food meal. Fried chicken, my Mac and cheese, greens, the sweet potato souffle. Give that look all you want. I'm gonna make it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I am willing to be proven wrong.

[Mimi Brown]

You know what? I've been the underdog my whole life, so I underestimate me. I love it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

When was the last time you made said meal?

[Mimi Brown]

I do it not often enough, but it's good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't want any of that shebang.

[DJ Envy]

I don't. I don't believe it.

[Jess Hilarious]

For some reason, I do believe that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shebang when he fish. You.

[Jess Hilarious]

So many people in Kim's life like that that are black that would have. We would have heard that she can't cook already. None of her exes says she can't cook. None of her friends say she can't cook. I. I really do believe her. And she's confident enough to stand on it.

[DJ Envy]

But none of her exes says she can cook, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now, listen, in the same interview, Kim says, well, there's a. There's a video from Kevin Hart. A while a while ago, he came over and I cooked him food. And he stamped my food. So the video. Let's take a listen to Kevin Hart. After the soul food meal, Kim invited.

[G Herbo]

Me over the house. Kim and y said, come.

[DJ Envy]

It's gonna be some food. I know what to expect. Thought it's gonna be some tuna casserole and some. Some caviar.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I ain't gonna lie.

[DJ Envy]

I brought my babies with me. They gonna have.

[Jess Hilarious]

They go do.

[DJ Envy]

I said, if it's bad, y' all gotta get daddy up out of here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We gotta leave as a group. But I can't lie to y'.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

All.

[DJ Envy]

It's not the case.

[G Herbo]

Little do I know, Kim threw down on some soul food.

[DJ Envy]

Got all us in here licking our fingers.

[G Herbo]

He ain't talk to me yet.

[DJ Envy]

My baby over there throwing down as well. So I'm going give her a shout out, man. Kim, turn around, turn around. Hurry up. Kim, this is your shout out right now. Your soul food shout out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I would have to see her do it myself, cuz, you know, you can go to somebody house and they have the whole shebang bread out, but that don't mean they cooked it. You know what I'm saying? I would have to see her in the kitchen actually chefing it up. Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I just put a photo too that Kevin Har had posted in that video Soulful Sundays, that this is the photo of the food that they were eating. But Nie Nash said the same thing. Like I need to see you with your hands in the kitchen cooking this food before I believe that this is a thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And also too, who around her knows good soul food? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like that's very important. Like if, if Lala tell me Kim can cook, I'd be like, okay, obviously Erica.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I'm not listening to none of the genres of the Kardashians. You think Caitlyn knows good soul food? Probably thinks the sweet potatoes are pumpkin.

[Jess Hilarious]

Just. Hey, all right. Hey, how you doing?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good.

[Jess Hilarious]

But yeah, I, I believe it all. I believe. I mean, we haven't heard.

[DJ Envy]

Do you really?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I really do.

[DJ Envy]

Her grandmama ain't teaches that. I don't know.

[Jess Hilarious]

Her grandmother definitely ain't teach her that.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know.

[Jess Hilarious]

But I'm just saying.

[DJ Envy]

Cuz it come from the heart though, right? Cuz it comes from, from being passed on.

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

Next she going to say she cook oxtail, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, we'll have to see how that goes. In other news, Dion Cole is having a conversation. Well, you had a conversation a couple days ago, but it's, it's picking up right now. Now, Dion Cole sat down with Noriega and DJ Fn on Drink Champs. And they talked about a moment at the BET Awards when Kai Sanat and Drew Ski was streaming and they ran into Dion. Let's take a listen.

[G Herbo]

Network hired this really big streamer, right? The biggest streamer out there. So they hired this person to come to the award shows and do vaccine, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, I saw it.

[G Herbo]

And this mother was like, he was going up to people like, I don't know who that is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, Wale. You know who the hell Wale is?

[G Herbo]

I don't know who that is. And his excuse was, don't blame me cause I'm young.

[DJ Envy]

And that was so disrespectful to me because I met dude one time backstage.

[G Herbo]

And he walked off and he was with Drew Ski.

[DJ Envy]

He was with Drew Ski looked at.

[G Herbo]

Me and was like this, what's up, OG how you doing, man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I appreciate you, man. I love everything you do. Then he went to him and was.

[G Herbo]

Like, man, you know, OG he funny as hell, you know, and he was like this. And just walked off. And I was like this, that's cool. And I'm not trying to be. I'm just going to. If you're going to be in that position, do your research about when you see icons and give them love when you see them, period.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now this is. I don't know. I think this conversation, what he's saying. I can understand what he's saying too, because in the moment, how can he.

[DJ Envy]

Do his research on everybody that he know that's not going to be.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We were going to get. I would listen. When you. At these award shows, you don't know everybody. Even if they give you face sheets and the fat cards that they give.

[DJ Envy]

You know how many times I used to work the red carpet on all those shows, Right. And I wouldn't know half the people last coming up there young or older. Sometimes they would have to tell me in my air. That's so and so and so and so. It's not that you're being disrespectful. It's that you just don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a learning. It's a learning experience.

[DJ Envy]

It's a learning experience. You know, I mean, and, you know, sometimes you would.

[Jess Hilarious]

And then Kai, he, you know, Kyle mentioned his age. I mean, to be honest with you. Yeah, man, this is age. And then it's. He already got his own platform that he built. You know what I mean? So just because he don't know somebody, I wouldn't really give the. Everybody, don't know everybody. I do get it. But that was a lot of people at. At the BET Awards, a lot of people at the Met Gala. He's been to countless big events. And it is. I'm not gonna say impossible. Unless, you know, unless you really, really like a Lauren LaRosa who knew everybody.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I openly say I don't be knowing people. I don't be knowing how to say their names. Like, it's the thing I know.

[Jess Hilarious]

But I'm saying. Yeah. So prime example, you can't expect everybody to know everybody. But at the same time I, I do understand what Dion Cole is saying. If they hired him to come there, then you might, might want to meet with him before. Be like, look, yo, this is who. And still, that's still not interesting to everybod.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Dianco presented at the awards too. And if you're there and you're streaming. I think what, I think the middle point of this is in the conversation that people keep trying to have about Kai so not when he does these things is that maybe there should just be more prep so that if he doesn't know at least certain people in certain situations, he can like the Wale moment.

[DJ Envy]

Hundreds of people at these award shows, young, old, but you know, to prep age group, you know, to prep for awards. And sometimes, but sometimes you don't know everybody. And he's doing behind the scenes stuff. And the only reason I know is because I've been there before and I ain't know who's walking up and they're saying, oh, that's so and so. And I don't know who they are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't prep for everybody. Dion said that Kai was running up on people saying, I don't know who you are. That's. I never saw him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So you remember at the same award show was when him and Wale, he didn't say, I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was a random interaction.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But there has been since this conversation keeps happening. There has been different moments that people are pulling of Kai in different situations where he doesn't know people or him talking about the, the fact that he doesn't know certain people. And the fact, and what Dion was trying to get to is the fact that he can just openly say, I don't know these people and then be brought to these awards where you're in here with these people and you're supposed to know who they are. It makes no sense on the network.

[Jess Hilarious]

I would put that on bet. I wouldn't put that on him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I would.

[Jess Hilarious]

Because if they hired him, they have to let him at least give him the people that's running play in the show. Like, all right, yo, he's a presenter. This is the host, this is the person performing. At least know those people. I wouldn't really put that on Kyle at, for that one particular moment.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And as an older person, how many of the young people do we know?

[DJ Envy]

That's my point.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We go to these award shows. I don't know 90% of these young radio now. And I'm like, who is that?

[DJ Envy]

When I used to do the red carpet. They would bring some people up. I wouldn't have no idea. And you can't trust bet because I remember one time Ms. Pat was walking up to me and they didn't know who Ms. Pat was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And she didn't know Ms. Pat had BET.

[DJ Envy]

No, she had a show on BET. They was like, let it slide. I'm like, no, that's Ms. Pat. And I brought Ms. Patrick over. So everybody doesn't know everybody on those award shows. That was when Ms. Pat first got. First got on the bet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Plus, there's nothing wrong with introducing yourself too.

[DJ Envy]

And that is true.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's nothing wrong being like, yo, what's up, man? My name's Such and Such.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know, that's the ego thing that goes into that. You're live on stream.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, I've seen some of the biggest artists in the world on the planet walk into the room and introduce themselves to people. Like literally walk up to you, shake their hand and be like, I'm Beyonce. Beyonce. I'm not even joking. Like, I've seen, I've seen that part.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And, and the interview that Dion did with Nori, like the conversation, it wasn't just about the Kai stuff. He was trying to make a point throughout the whole conversation that there. That we don't value our older talent and acts. Like, he talked about what he talked about up here too. Like going to certain concerts and if it's an old school, like white act, it's packed full of people. But then you go to like Rog's concerts and it's not as packed, the venues are smaller. So I think he was trying to just get to like, you know, there should be a certain level of like, take respect on people who've been doing certain things.

[DJ Envy]

I get what he's saying. I get what he was saying. But just he also has to remember with those award shows, you have thousands of of artists and celebrities in the building and you're not going to know everybody, you know? I mean, yeah, just not. And like I said, I've been there before and I don't know half the people that's there. And I do the rain, even up here.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Sometimes people walk in this building and.

[DJ Envy]

I gotta step outside to be like, who's that? Right, y'? All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, they did it. That interviewed out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exactly why Andy walked up. Yeah, I said, Envy walked out cuz he didn't know who this was. And I know that.

[DJ Envy]

And then what did you say? I don't know who you are either.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I introduced myself. I Said, who are. I asked him. A quest. I asked him. I don't have no problem looking stupid, in case y' all don't know. Okay? I ain't out here trying to act like I knew. Everybody know who it was.

[DJ Envy]

Somebody coming in the building. Who is this? You know, where are they from? I wanted to do my research.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, they actually won too. They DM me and was like, congratulate. I mean, thank you. We won or whatever. I'm trying to find a dm. I'm trying to find a dm.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, Gilmore. Yes. He wrote a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We got a rap. Lauren.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I just wanted to mention it.

[Mimi Brown]

He said mention it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Bye.

[DJ Envy]

All right, donkey today, who you giving your donkey to, man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Another example of why you got to stay away from these YNs. Because they full frontal cortex not developed. But we'll discuss.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll get to that. Next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[G Herbo]

Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida man. Florida man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[Mimi Brown]

A Florida man attacked an ATM for.

[Jess Hilarious]

A very strange reason.

[Mimi Brown]

Reason it gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A flamingo, the Breakfast Club donkey of.

[DJ Envy]

The day with Charlemagne. The guy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know why y' all keep.

[G Herbo]

Letting him get y' all like this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, Duvall, donkey of the day for Thursday, November 6, goes to a 19 year old Y N From Miami, Florida, named Anthony Marquis Elliott. I don't know when y' all gonna realize it. Not go back, back and forth with people who are the same age as Jeezy's Trap or Die mixtape. Okay, seriously, you have to ask these questions to yourself. Am I arguing with somebody that that's. That's the same age or younger than TI's urban legend? Okay, there is absolutely no reason to be going back and forth with a 19 year old, okay? Their prefrontal cortex doesn't even start developing until their mid-20s. Okay, you have to understand that before you even open up your mouth to go back and forth with one of these younger ones. But by the time people realize that, it's too late. And this young lady, Chayton Thomas, realized it a little too late. All right, See, Chayton was in the car along with her pregnant daughter and her one year old daughter, and she decided that she wanted to stop at McDonald's well, when she stopped at Mickey D's, this happened.

[Jess Hilarious]

I told him, I said, listen, his mama want to make mad griddles of mad chicken. Cause this about to be a funeral at this McDonald's.

[DJ Envy]

I don't play these type of games.

[G Herbo]

Games.

[DJ Envy]

We broke the story Monday. A Miami Gardens McDonald's employee arrested for pulling a gun on a car full of women and a child.

[G Herbo]

So you were waiting for a while?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, we was waiting for, like, over an hour.

[DJ Envy]

Over an hour we stayed. Chayon Timmons says they waited a long time. Her pregnant daughter to some of the people in the car. And then this guy, Anthony Elliott, wouldn't give them their food.

[G Herbo]

She says.

[Jess Hilarious]

We looking at each other, me and.

[Lauren LaRosa]

My goddaughter looking at each other like.

[Jess Hilarious]

Why are you upset? And he was like, I don't have.

[G Herbo]

To give you nothing.

[Jess Hilarious]

He was like, what you said?

[Lauren LaRosa]

What you said?

[Jess Hilarious]

And we were like, are you serious? Like, what's really going on?

[Lauren LaRosa]

So he clutched at his waist.

[Jess Hilarious]

I got on the phone with the cops.

[DJ Envy]

I said, this is going to go.

[Jess Hilarious]

One of two ways.

[DJ Envy]

Miami Gardens Police Department.

[Jess Hilarious]

Y' all need to get here to.

[DJ Envy]

McDonald's because somebody for die.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All. All I heard just now was a bunch of McDrama. Okay? McMayhem, all right? That could have been a MC disaster, all right? I'm not debating with nobody that's younger than Get Rich or Die Trying. That is a MC mistake, all right? That is a conversation that leads to nothing but McMadness. All right? Chayton, you lucky you wasn't McMurded. Okay? All right, And. And who the hell waits at McDonald's for an hour? Okay, who has an hour to wait at McDonald's? And what is up with fast food restaurants? Every time I come in this building, it's a story about a scuffle at Subway or something popping off at Popeyes, kerfuffles at kfc, people getting whipped over Whoppers. What is it about fast food that is causing food folks to be so violent? Also, Anthony, I want better for brothers like you. I really do. It pains me to know that you feel like you have to carry a pistol at work. Okay? Do you realize that everyone in this story thought they was in danger? Everyone. This man had a gun at work at McDonald's. And this woman, Chayton, was clearly dealing with some PTSD. Let's go back to Local 10 News for the morator report. Court, please.

[DJ Envy]

Elliot now facing the charges. And for this woman who already survived a shooting, she says she went into defense mode and what goes through your mind at that moment?

[Jess Hilarious]

He has a death wish. He must have a death wish.

[DJ Envy]

There's got to be a suicide.

[Jess Hilarious]

Because there's no way that I'm gonna.

[G Herbo]

Allow you to do anything.

[DJ Envy]

Bodily harm to mine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All over McNuggets, all over McChicken. McChicken.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

He must want to have a MCF.

[Jess Hilarious]

Funeral to put my kids in harm's way. And that's a problem for me. I'm not that type of girl.

[G Herbo]

I'm not that type of woman.

[Jess Hilarious]

And I'm not the type of parent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's already been shot before. We are traumatized people, man. We are hurt people. But even through the pain, we're gonna get these jokes off, okay? She knew. She was on camera and she was letting it go. You hear me? The woman in the car with her kids and poor Anthony was at work with a gun. But Anthony clearly is a brother who doesn't need the army own a firearm, okay? That is the combo at McDonald's that nobody wants. See, when you have low emotional intelligence, okay, it's hard to be in a job in the service industry, because a lot of the service industry is about temperament, okay? You are dealing with other people all day, other people's emotions, other people's stress. And you have to keep your cool, okay? Because if you have a MC meltdown like Anthony did, then you end up in a MC mess, and that's when you end up with a MCMug shot, okay? This young man has been charged with five counts of aggravated assault with a firearm. Let me tell you how you end up in MC prison in a situation like this. Number one, being 19 and black, okay? Number two, if you work at McDonald's, I highly doubt you can afford the type of attorneys you need to even deal with a case like this. So you're gonna end up getting a public defender who's going to tell you to plea to something, okay? I don't know, you know, what the charge will be. And then they're gonna end up giving you some jail time. And that's when you get mclocked. Up. Up. Ronald McDonald once said, when anger rises, think of the consequences. I'm lying. Ronald McDonald never said that. That was Confucius. But I can make a meme saying it was Ronald McDonald and people will still share it. But the quote still applies. When anger rises, think of the consequences. Please give Anthony Mara, Keith Elliott, the biggest, these people away.

[DJ Envy]

That was Mick Crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It definitely was. Who waits at McDonald's for an hour, though?

[DJ Envy]

That's crazy, too.

[Jess Hilarious]

Much timely hands.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I. I'll wait when he. When he dropped the fries in. But that ain't no hour.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's an hour.

[DJ Envy]

That may be like seven minutes. Seven to 10 minutes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And listen, you know, never mind what n. What?

[DJ Envy]

I know you wasn't gonna play.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, no, no. You know when you just said what you. You. When you hear somebody say they waited at McDonald's for an hour.

[G Herbo]

Wait.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wait. They wait at McDonald's for an hour. You know what I'm saying? Wait.

[G Herbo]

Know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. We're not playing the game now, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, no, no.

[G Herbo]

You don't.

[DJ Envy]

You don't want to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You already pulled her up anyway. You're looking right at her. I'm not.

[DJ Envy]

But if I had to get. Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shut up.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[G Herbo]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wait.

[DJ Envy]

It is. I say at least. 260.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

Wow. Big back. Big back. All the food in all the world that I am going to eat. All right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Jess Hilarious]

Your coworker need to beat your ass. Call it up, Dr. Jess. And I'm here to fix your mess. It's getting very much messy. Let me fix this.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I'm going to be on the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey. Hi, Jess. Hey, DJ Envy. Sheller and the Goddy Lawrence.

[DJ Envy]

Good morning. Who you telling you gonna be on the Breakfast Club? Who you talking. Talking to in the background?

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

My little sister.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, your little sister. Salute to her. Shout out, Devini.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Shout out to Devinee. Her birthday was yesterday. She just turned 13, so she is officially a teenager.

[DJ Envy]

Wow. So you gonna.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You gonna.

[DJ Envy]

You gonna have her in the car while you ask just this question? Okay. I can't wait.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Go.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Well, it's not too crazy, but, you know, I do have a hair business. I've been doing hair since I was in high school, like 2012. And recently I graduated from cosmetology and I'm really taking my business serious now. Shout out to my business. J reneehair But I have an issue having boundaries with family and friends. And you know, I recently had a friend that just didn't show up for her appointment and just thought that I could just reschedule her. But it's not easy like that when I'm trying to build my clientele and I have people that I can fill in those spots with that don't ask for discounts and you know, really want to pay full price and experience my services. So I'm just wondering like, maybe if you could give me some tips because I have a big heart. Like I don't want to, I don't want to charge family because they do so much for me. Like I have a very supportive family, you know, but with the hair and with my business and I'm a new business owner, like, I just find it hard to have those boundaries sometimes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, well, your pockets feel that your boundaries should have been put in place, I bet. Right? Because starting a business is, is not easy, you know, especially if your pockets ain't you, if you ain't already rich, you know what I mean? You take Ls like when you start in a business. So you understand that, right? Like, because I already know your pockets is hit because you're self funding everything, correct?

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I am, yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

You don't have investors. You, you didn't get a loan. You're doing this out of your pocket. Right? Right. So it has to be a conversation with friends and family and people who want the discounts or they want it for free. Unless you're an influencer that we can do trade off, you know what I mean? You can post me to amplify my business or help me get exposure to get more asses in these seats, in this shop or you know what I mean, you really have to pay for because this is your way of living, this is the way you, you make your money. Correct. You don't have another job, right?

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I do, I have another job. But you know, I'm trying to, to replace my income. I'm trying to make this my full time career.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right.

[Jess Hilarious]

And it's hard to do that. That's why you do have another job so you can fund your business so you can operate just through your business. Right? Yeah, boo, I understand having a big heart. I have a big heart as well. And, and you still, you can still have a big heart and just say no because it's the same like with my comedy shows. Every time. Every time I. I do a comedy show in Baltimore, I got friends, a long list of friends, Friends and family that I had, ones that I haven't even talked to in a while, Whether they helped me along the way, you know, years back or not. Like, this is the way I make my money now. And if I'm giving discount here, discount there, I'm never making money. My business will never exceed the level that it's set right now, because I'm not making money. So you. You can still have a big heart and know how to say no. You know what I'm saying? Just pray on it. I don't know if you. You do do that, but just pray.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I definitely pray. I'm definitely.

[Jess Hilarious]

Just ask God to give you the words to say to people. I mean, it should just be no, but if. If you don't like saying no and it makes you feel bad, it's other ways to tell these people.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

It do be making me feel bad.

[Jess Hilarious]

I get. What's your sign? I'm just curious.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I'm a Virgo.

[Jess Hilarious]

Y' all have a hard time telling people no.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I mean, I don't know. I just. I want to help people, and I just want to.

[Jess Hilarious]

Damn. I thought she was racing. I've never heard a Virgo. That was hard to tell people. No. That's crazy.

[G Herbo]

That's.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's their language right there. But I just asked that. Astrology has nothing to do with it. Just. Yo, like, you gotta put you first. You have to put you first.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know what I mean?

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

And for all the people that be trying to negotiate prices with hairstylists, y' all gotta stop that because we set our price, man.

[G Herbo]

Although some of y' all do be.

[Jess Hilarious]

Tripping because 225 for a press? For a silk press. I don't care if you graduated from the elite class of silk presses. 225 is crazy.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Like a hundred dollars for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Pay.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Way more than that.

[Jess Hilarious]

I. I get it. I get it.

[G Herbo]

But.

[Jess Hilarious]

But like I said, you know what I mean? You gotta find a way to create that boundary. Like, look, y', all, I can't do it. I. I can't do it. I'm not booming enough to give up free hairstyles.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You right.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

Okay.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Thank you, Jazz. That really do help me.

[DJ Envy]

Good luck, mama. Hello? Who's this?

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Hey, my name's Chase.

[DJ Envy]

What's your question for Jess? Man?

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

So basically my girlfriend. We've been together for, like, six months, and he got Pregnant. And you said she got pregnant? Yeah, she got pregnant. Okay, well, we got pregnant.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

And she wanted to keep the baby. She pro life and just a little backstory. I just got out of prison like last year and I've been on my stuff. I got a job, got it for. I got all this and I'm feeling like I ain't live here. And I go like, she forcing a baby on me.

[Jess Hilarious]

So you feel like she forcing the baby on you that you essentially put inside of her.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I understand my role in this situation, but I'm trying to explain to her it's a lot of financial responsibility. It's a lot more that go into this than just your feelings.

[Jess Hilarious]

Just like that feeling before you. You shot up the club, you know what I'm saying? You should have been thinking about that. That's your girl. This ain't just somebody that you met, like, you know what I'm saying? This ain't somebody that you just cool with, you know? This your girl? Six months or not, I get it. But you supposed to have that in the back of your mind while you in them guts, you feel me? That you just got home from jail and you haven't lived yet. You know what I mean? And you still got. You still. You don't feel like you're stable enough to. To provide what a child. Child will need from you. You found me. And it is her body, her choice. You get what I'm saying? I mean, I. I totally understand, but you. This is a lesson that, that you're being taught right now. So. So what, what the outcome is? Like, what are you. What's the outcome? What you going.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

I mean, either way, I'm gonna take care of it. I'm gonna take care of my baby because that's how I was raised.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

But I just feel like it's way more than this if you're not financially in the right spot to be taking on all of this. I already gotta keep kid and she got a kid.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

And they expensive, so I don't know. I'm a rock out regardless. But yeah, I don't know. That's why I caught up here. I'm trying to get a woman's perspective.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, but that, that is, that's the woman's perspective. You can ask the men in the room, but that's the woman's perspective, though, you know, from the one that I'm giving, you know, like, it takes two. I mean, it's cliche, but it takes two. I get it, you know, you feel me? I'm actually glad that you home. You know, you trying to get on your feet and everything like that, but the reason for not wanting a baby, the first thing you said, the reason for not wanting a baby right now is you haven't lived yet. And then you said everything else after you was living, when you. You know what I'm saying? When you was doing a thing, when you was. That night, you lived. And then now it's another person that's going to be living in a few months. You know, you just got to deal with that. You can. You can still live and have a baby. It might slow you down, but, you know, now I got three kids, so you just gotta, you know, put your big boy drawers on, buddy, and. And, you know, be a dad and still try to live your life.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Thank you. Oh, I wanna say one more thing. Charlotte was saying that God got me through prison. He had me thinking different. That brilliant idiot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I appreciate him. I appreciate you, King. Love, my brother.

[Caller / Guest (various callers including Rachel Ross and others)]

Love.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Blessings to you, man.

[DJ Envy]

[G Herbo]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

Got him through his bed. I just fixed my mess. 800-585-105. I didn't say nothing was freak.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said, you got that man freaking your eyes. I know.

[Jess Hilarious]

You don't freaking provide context. It would have been a little crazy if he didn't provide context to say brilliant idiots. Yeah, he said you got him through a sentence.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I wasn't with him.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, that's why he had to provide that context.
