[Just Hilarious]

So if it's date night, then you're gonna get tired. Like last night was date night.

[Lecrae]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Took the wife to see a Broadway play.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, nice.

[Just Hilarious]

So we didn't get home until about midnight.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Damn.

[Just Hilarious]

We were watching the play. Then after the play, the writer said he wanted to perform for people, so he started performing songs. And I didn't want to leave in the middle because everybody's sitting there watching.

[Lecrae]

But.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But he had just performed.

[Just Hilarious]

Then he wanted to perform again. Yeah, they wanted to perform songs. So the play is over. Everybody's cheering. It was a great show. If you get a chance to definitely check out Outsiders. Great, great, great play. It's about. Released in the 1960s. It's like west side Story. But after it was over, he was.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Ready to perform again.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I want to do a couple.

[Just Hilarious]

Songs for you and me and my wife. Look at each other like I had it right. I gotta get up at 4 o'.

[DJ Envy]

Clock.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Daniel stayed for that.

[Lecrae]

That's why you gotta go to early Broadway. I was on Broadway last night. I took the family to go see Lion King, which is crazy because for all the Broadway that we do, we never went to go see Lion King. Nice. But I went to the 7 o' clock show. 9:30, it was out.

[Just Hilarious]

Oh, my show was 7:30, sir.

[Lecrae]

How long was the show?

[Just Hilarious]

It ended at about 10:00'.

[Lecrae]

Clock. Oh, yes. He always.

[Just Hilarious]

And then after they started performing and he performed like 3, 4 songs.

[Lecrae]

Lion King is 2 hours, 25 minutes with the intermission. After went to go meet the cast with my guy Vincent, you know, nice home by 10:30.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, that's what's up. I thought Broadway was like four hours at least.

[Lecrae]

Depends what you're going to see.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Depends?

[Lecrae]

Yeah, depends what you want to see.

[Just Hilarious]

Some, yeah. Some plays are longer than the others.

[Lecrae]

But like Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is like three and a Half. It used to be six.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Lecrae]

Way back when. Jesus.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah. I couldn't even wait till after I was supposed to meet the cast, but.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm like, it's already late going on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

But salute to the cast. And everybody from outside had an amazing time last night.

[Lecrae]

Yeah, man. Salute to the cast area of the Lion King, too, as well. Last night. Met y'. All. Great, great, great team up. Remember, they came up here.

[Just Hilarious]

They came up here a couple days ago.

[Lecrae]

Yep. Yeah, they came up here. So salute to the cast of the Lion King. Broadway is tough, man. Cause you don't get no. You don't get no redo on that stage. No. Okay. And if they do mess up, we have no idea.

[Just Hilarious]

No, they just go right through it. Like yesterday, there was a guy, he was. He was doing his thing, and he just started laughing. He broke character a little bit, and the crowd just started laughing. Cause, you know, it's a long way. It happens.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Lecrae]

They've been doing LION KING For 28 years.

[Just Hilarious]

That's crazy.

[Lecrae]

On Broadway. I met one of the young women last night who's from the original cast, and she's really from South Africa.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, wow.

[Lecrae]

I think her name was Linda, but I'm probably lying.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So did she do that?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, that's.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Same name.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But did she sing the High.

[Lecrae]

All that. Every song you see in the movie, you getting on that stage. Circle of Life. Hakuna Matata. Yes. All of it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Circle of Life. That's the name of it. Okay. Yeah, that's what's up.

[Just Hilarious]

Well, let's get the show cracking. Lecrae will be joining us this morning. He has a new album reconstruction that comes out August 22nd.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Dope.

[Just Hilarious]

So we're gonna be kicking up with Lecrae. And then we got front page news. More going to be here in a second. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now. Morgan is not on. So we don't have front page news with Morgan. Yeah, well, they're trying to get Morgan on.

[Lecrae]

Is it her fault or is it our fault?

[Just Hilarious]

Probably our fault.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Can't wait to find somebody whose fault is it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's our fault.

[Lecrae]

We don't know Morgan beyond this time of day every day for you hear some change, huh?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, we know.

[Just Hilarious]

All right, well, I don't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Technical difficulties.

[Just Hilarious]

Let's do. Let's do front page news.

[Lecrae]

Okay.

[Just Hilarious]

Trump is. Trump is still not going to release the transcripts for the Jeffrey Epstein files. We know that, right? I'm sure she was going to mention that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, absolutely.

[Just Hilarious]

I'm sure she was going to mention that. Senate Democrats are trying to use a century old law to try to force the Trump administration to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, that's what, that's what they're trying.

[Lecrae]

To do, by the way. I'm fine with that. I just hope the Democrats are fine with mutually assured destruction. I hope. But, but, but here's the thing, and I said this before, you know, whatever the future of the Democratic Party looks like that now has to throw the old regime under the bus, right? So I'm sure that, you know, whatever is in the Epstein files is a bunch of the old regime. You got to be willing to blow all of that up, which you should be right. Right away.

[Just Hilarious]

And the Epstein, I don't know if you've seen the Epstein, the Epstein flick on Netflix. Have you seen it?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, I just saw the preview of it, but I didn watching it.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah. It's a documentary where they talk about how they would get the young girls and say that he would want a massage first and find these girls in high school. They would be like 15, 16, they'd come over and massage him and, and then, you know, they'd be like, take off your clothes. And then he would give them two, $300 back in, you know, when was that? 20 years ago. And we all know two, $300 back then was a lot more money.

[Lecrae]

People talk about, you know, how they don't want to traumatize, you know, victims. So they wouldn't, if they put the list out, they would redact all the names and stuff, which they should. But then they'll put out documentaries like that don't re. Traumatize victims, even if the person's name is not mentioned. Just describing all of the things that these individuals may have gone through.

[Just Hilarious]

I'm sure it's traumatized, but they interviewed a lot of the victims and a lot of the victims were saying that they were broke. This was around Christmas time. So I guess he had feelers go out and find these young girls and say, hey, you wanna make a little extra money, all you gotta do is massage this old guy. And they were like, all right, I'll massage this old guy. And they would come and come to the house and they would massage them and take off their clothes and. And all that. So we have audio of Senator Chuck Schumer talking about releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The situation with the Epstein files is very simple. Donald Trump promised transparency, and he has broken that promise. As a candidate, Trump said on many occasions he would release the Epstein files if elected, and yet he has refused to do so. This morning, I join all of my Democratic colleagues on the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee in invoking a century old law known as the rule of five to compel the Department of Justice to release the full and complete Epstein files.

[Lecrae]

I'm just happy Democrats are staying on this. There was some Democrats a couple of weeks ago saying, why do y' all care so much about the Epstein files? All the other things going on in the world, and this is what finally makes Trump's base upset. Man, shut up and learn how to politics. Okay? If this is a thing that, you know, the MAGA base is upset about, fine. Build a bridge, okay?

[Just Hilarious]

And the fact, and the fact that he's, he's holding out so long makes people want to know more like, why are you holding out so much? Like, how involved were you with this, you know, and who else was involved?

[Lecrae]

For all the Democrats who say things like, we don't, we don't indulge in conspiracy, this is not a conspiracy anymore. This is an obvious cover up. And if it's the thing that helps you build a bridge with those Trump supporters of that MAGA base, build it, damn it.

[Just Hilarious]

That's right.

[Lecrae]

And be willing to sacrifice it all. Because, yes, we know that there's Democrats on that Epstein list too, I'm sure, and a bunch of, yeah, you know, allies and, you know, corporate donors and everything. But guess what? Why are you protecting pedophiles?

[Just Hilarious]

And does anybody.

[Lecrae]

Pedophiles?

[Just Hilarious]

How Epstein got so much money, like, that's what I'm curious. Because he had the biggest house in Manhattan. Like the biggest, grandest house in Manhattan. He had the biggest hand in, in Mexico. He had his own island and.

[Lecrae]

But I would only assume, I would only assume that if you're doing that level of pimping and you got all of these high profile clients that you're, you know, that's what that money basically extorting, Right? Yeah. I'm sure he got whatever he wanted when he wanted it, right?

[Just Hilarious]

All right, well, that's front page news. Morgan will be joining us next hour. I think we got her right now, but everybody else, get her off your chest. Get her, get it.

[Lecrae]

All right.

[Caller]

Yeah, this is what from King Street, South Carolina. Good morning, Charlemagne.

[Lecrae]

Good morning.

[Caller]

Good morning, Jess.

[Lecrae]

I used to have a great time in King street, man. I used to be. I used to go to the nightlife in King Street. I used to host parties out there way, way back in the day.

[Caller]

I remember that was used at Z95. Z95, right.

[Lecrae]

Z93. We still on Z93. On Z93 right now. They listening to us right now. Z93 jams in Charleston, South Carolina.

[Caller]

Okay, but I want to have a conversation. I was trying to get in get through last week. We are going down from South Carolina. The Q's and other Omega brothers going down to Jacksonville to protest and support with the incident with the traffic stop last week. And I know you said that the young man did a lot of things wrong. Of course he did a lot of things wrong with the stop like NBC. We gotta comply. Get home and deal with that again. Envy have sons. I have two sons. We have daughters. Lately, orphans has been treating our black sisters the same way they treat guys. I just seen in the video where they punched the hell of a. A black lady. Now, Charlamagne, listen to this. Now you say lately, but hear me out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You.

[Caller]

You from most corner. I seen a lady got stopped, white lady, totally drunk in most corner. And she couldn't get out the car until her husband came from West Ashley. Charlemagne.

[Lecrae]

Damn, West Ashley.

[Caller]

You know what they did? They stood there patiently and idly until he got there. And then they arrested West Ashley. Man. She said my husband lived in west ashley At least 45 minutes an hour. Patience sat there shooting. Yes, she locked the door. They ain't busted with nothing. So what I'm saying, once he pushed the guy, he had no reason for that. Charlemagne, we all saw the video. There's like, three videos circulating, and Jacksonville are known for this type stuff because they got a brother in office, a Kim Scott, and he covers stuff up and he support that. He doesn't keep his people in check. Man, black people, we have went through so much, and they don't understand. They just don't.

[Lecrae]

They never will. Yeah, I don't think that the police officer should have punched the guy now.

[Just Hilarious]

He should have got pushed.

[Lecrae]

Yeah, I don't think he should have got punched in the face. I don't think he should have escalated today.

[Just Hilarious]

Definitely not got points in the face, I don't think.

[Caller]

Absolutely. But my thing, when they pull up, they pull up with aggression. Now, let me say this to get off, if that boy would have been.

[Lecrae]

Oh, your phone. Breaking up, brother. Yeah. I don't think that the police officer should punch the guy in the face. But, you know, I will say once again, if the. If the. If the young man knew he had a suspended license, he should have been a. A lot more humble during that traffic.

[Just Hilarious]

If you had a suspended license, you're going to jail. There's nothing you can say.

[Lecrae]

That's right. That's right. That's right. All the rah, rah. Like, if you like, you know, slamming the door on the cop and all of that. Don't. Especially when, you know, they damn near already got a license to do what they want to us anyway. Don't give them more of a reason.

[Just Hilarious]

Hello? Who's this?

[Caller]

It's Kobe.

[Just Hilarious]

Hey, what's up, Kobe? Get it off your chest, Colby.

[Caller]

Hey, I want to appeal the Raiders donkey today yesterday.

[Just Hilarious]

Oh, you want to appeal Charlamagne's donkey today?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Well, hold on now. Charlamagne gave donkey today to who?

[Lecrae]

For people that didn't hear, I gave it to the Las Vegas Raiders, you know, because they cut. What's the brother's name? Christian Wilkins. Because it was a number of reasons. He had a. You know, his foot was hurt. He didn't want to have surgery on his foot. But what they ultimately used to cut him was he kissed a young man on the top of his head. Another. Another player.

[Caller]

Yeah. But Christian Wall's behavior has always been kind of suspect. In the Fiesta poll against Ohio State, he wasn't even involved in the tackle. And Curtis Samuel, the running back that was brought down, he's needed, really, to get a handful. He's been a booty warrior.

[Lecrae]

So that's. I mean, if he's a booty Warrior, then that means that they cutting them for being gay. So he definitely needs all his money.

[Caller]

In. And.

[Lecrae]

That is true.

[Caller]

What you gonna do?

[Lecrae]

That is true. Listen. That is true.

[Just Hilarious]

Let me ask you a question.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

How long you been listening to this show?

[Caller]

Long time. I gotta say, at least since 2011. 12, 13.

[Just Hilarious]

So when Charlemagne gave me the butt, the. The ass for my birthday, should I.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Gave him some ass for his birthday?

[Just Hilarious]

Give me a big ass. Like a big black ass.

[Lecrae]

But you know what's so crazy about this? If he took the ass, that make him gay, too? Like. You don't have to tell that. I didn't give it to you. You. You didn't say you didn't. You said I gave it to you, so that means you took it, dummy.

[Just Hilarious]

Then he shined the famous pin on my forehead.

[Caller]

He did. Stabbed it down.

[Lecrae]

Yeah. I will say, though, to your point, the Christian Wilkins donkey is under review because somebody sent me a video that I haven't watched yet, and apparently it's, you know, him. You know, engaging in several. Several suspect acts.

[Caller]

In front of millions of people at the Fiesta bowl in the college playoff.

Well, thank you, brother.

[Just Hilarious]

I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson.

[Lecrae]

You know what I'm looking forward to?

[Caller]

What?

[Lecrae]

What? Outkast performing at the Rock and Roll hall of fame on November 8th. When is the last time we saw Outkast on stage together? Outkast has to perform at the Rock and Roll hall of Fame in November. Big Boy and Andre 3000 need to be rehearsing right now, getting in game shape. I don't want to see any other artists performing Outkast songs. I want to see Big and Andre on stage performing. They have to.

[Just Hilarious]

That'd be crazy. Last time I think we seen him, I think it was like Coachella or one of those. I don't even remember those huge shows. But like you said, it's been a long time, and I would love to See them.

[Lecrae]

Come on. Tribe Called Quest performed when they got inducted. LL performed when they got inducted. Missy performed at the Rock and Roll hall of Fame when she got inducted. Jay Z should have performed, but he didn't. I want to see Outcast perform in November at the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. Dre, you got to put the flute and piano down for one second and pick up that microphone, my brother. We need that. Outcast performance at the Rock and Roll hall of Fame in November. I agree.

[Just Hilarious]

All right, well, Lauren's here. Let's get to the latest with Lori.

[Lauren LaRosa]

[Lecrae]

Talk to me.

[DJ Envy]

So Shannon Sharp has been fired from espn. This comes weeks after settling or getting to a resolution for undisclosed amount or undisclosed. Whatever that resolution was in the rape lawsuit. Let's take a listen to Shannon Sharpie spoke out about this last night on Nightcap.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm sure everybody's heard the news by now that I will not be returning to espn. I found out this information a little earlier in the week, and really, the only thing that I really ask is, like, guys, could we wait until Monday? My brother's going into the Pro Football hall of Fame. I said, this coming out will overshadow everything that he's worked his entire life for, as I profusely apologized to him earlier today. He said, bro, stop apologizing. I'm your big bro. I'm gonna love you regardless. And I really enjoyed my time at espn. It gave me an opportunity to bring my audience that saw me really just grow. They saw me, you know, lakers in five, and they saw me say all these funny, these analogies that my grandparents gave me. So I'm very, very grateful for that. I just wish this thing could have. Could have waited until Monday. The first two brothers in the Pro Football hall of Fame, and this is is what the headline is going to be for the next couple of days. So I apologize and I thank all my fans for supporting me when I was at ESPN in every place that I've been. Thank you guys for your support.

[Lecrae]

A reported $6.5 million a year down the drain for poor choices and lack of discipline.

[DJ Envy]

Exactly. Meek Mill tweeted out yesterday. I thought that this was one of Meek's Makes most makes sense tweets. He responded to the news of Shannon Sharpen fired from espn. He said, y' all too old to be getting fired. For real. I mean, makes a lot of sense about what he's saying. You get what he's saying?

[Lecrae]

It makes sense when you know Meek. But you can get fired at any age, right?

[DJ Envy]

He don't mean it like that.

[Lecrae]

I get what no, but you can. But let's be clear. Don't matter what you mean. It's what you say. You can get fired at any age. But I get what Meek is saying there. There's a Bible verse for that. First Corinthians, 13:11. You know that, right? You mean you in the church?

[DJ Envy]

I am in a church, but I don't know off the top of my head. Give it to me.

[Lecrae]

When I was a I spoke like a child, I felt like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put away childish things.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Lecrae]

So that's what I think he was saying.

[DJ Envy]

Me too. That's why I think the tweet made sense. But they was firing enough firing him up for. But back to Shannon. I'm not surprised about this news, but I didn't necessarily. If he wouldn't have got fired, I wouldn't have been surprised either.

[Just Hilarious]

Did they give a reason why he was fired?

[DJ Envy]

I did not release a statement, no. There's been no comment from espn. But I. I mean, I confirmed that this is a real thing when the the Athletic dropped the news first. But there has been no statement from esp.

[Lecrae]

Peace to the planet. Charlamagne Tha God here. Look, we all make mistakes, but owning up to them is the right thing to do, you know Degree Cool Rush deodorant. Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with their fans. Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does, because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition. And degree Listen, they admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people were not happy when it changed. So if you never tried it, it might be a good time to See what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG degree. Cool rush for yourself.

[Just Hilarious]

Every morning I step into the shower with one goal. To show up as the best version of me. This is where I set the tone. Where I decide how I'm going to give today all I got. Confident, focused, 100% myself. Because how I start my day, it matters. And Method Body Wash is more than just soap. It's part of the ritual that gets my head right. The fragrance not just clean.

[Lecrae]

All this Disney man Mickey Mouse not standing by that.

[DJ Envy]

See, but the only reason why I say that is because back when all of the the rape lawsuit dropped and the $50 million was being asked for and all the things were happening, there were rumors that he was fired or whatever at that point. And I reached out and said, hey, here's what's being reported. I want to know what's going on and I was told by a source close to the network that the firing. There was no firing. That, you know, it just. He has scheduled days on the shows that. On the show he was on and that was it. There's nothing to see here. Let's keep watching all of his platforms and everything he's on. There was.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

I did. I thought maybe they might try and work with them because we don't.

[Lecrae]

Not Mickey Mouse. People were harp.

[DJ Envy]

Why didn't they do it sooner though?

[Lecrae]

People.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah. People are harping on the fact that he quote unquote, wasn't charged. But it's more than just being charged. It's everything that was released after that.

[Lecrae]

Correct.

[DJ Envy]

That's the way you make the brand look.

[Just Hilarious]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

100 it's Disney. But I just thought Disney would do it sooner or, you know they were going to do that. But. Yes. So I don't know.

[Lecrae]

Listen. Shannon Sharp is in this situation because of Shannon Sharp. It's just poor choices and lack of discipline has him in this situation. And that's why when you see things like this, man, you don't laugh. And you just got to learn from it because. And. And what you should learn is when you have something to lose you got to act like it. And you know, he wasn't acting like it.

[Just Hilarious]

I wonder if. If he knew he was gonna get fired would he still have settled though He. Or he would have took it all the way.

[DJ Envy]

He had to have known that. I don't think Disney just like woke up one day and was like, hey, this is what's happening. They've been having conversations behind the scenes for some time. He said that. Remember Stephen A. Smith came out and said conversations are happening. It probably was a back and forth or I don't know. But you don't just randomly find out something like that.

[Lecrae]

I don't think he was thinking about his job in that situation. He was think himself. His personal, personal life. His personal things he probably didn't want want exposed.

[DJ Envy]

100 and I think that's why the settlement came too. Because if not I think we would have. You know. Remember you talked about the video that was potentially going to be released by Tony Busby.

[Lecrae]

They already at least released. Released audio.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, they released audio now. I will say though, his statement that he posted where he actually named the Jane Doe and addressed the lawsuit. Tony Busby came out and said that kind of forced their hand. That's why they released the audio. So there was a little bit of the attention in the back and forth. So I think that this just got calm point where he can now try and move on. And honestly, I was watching him on Nightcap last night when he was talking about it, and I was like, man, he should thank God for his own platforms. Because right now, I don't know, would anybody get next to Shannon Sharp right now?

[Lecrae]

Right. He still got Shay. Shay. He still got Nightcap.

[DJ Envy]

Yep. You know, and people tune in doing very well.

[Lecrae]

But this isn't ESPN's fault. This isn't the white man's fault. This is Shannon Sharp's fault. Like, they can't shake you down if you don't give them nothing to shake. Well, they can, which is all the more reason you shouldn't give them nothing too. They will make some stuff up, too, but, you know.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Lecrae]

Yeah, man. Just. Just. Lack of d. Discipline can cost you everything. Okay. We call that dd because I can't say the word I want to, though. Well, Dick Tracy. Okay. Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Be careful, black men. Be careful.

[Just Hilarious]

Black man make small decisions.

[Lauren LaRosa]

If he was white, it would be different. It would be different. Not justifying what he doing, what he did or whatever.

[Lecrae]

I don't believe that either.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, that's cool. Difference in opinion. If he was white, it would be lesser.

[Lecrae]

We seeing everybody.

[DJ Envy]

You think if it was a white man, Disney would have stood by like, them?

[Lauren LaRosa]

It would be certainly different. I mean, we talking about old Mickey Mouse and Disney and all that. What about behind the scenes of everything that happens? Disney and all these. You know what I mean? So it's just like, come on, have.

[Just Hilarious]

There been white men that's been charged that the same thing hasn't happened? I think what hurt him is the video is the audio, the conversation. I think that's what hurt him the most.

[Lecrae]

Several years with the MeToo movement, we've been seeing black people and white people get it. And, you know, if they taking down powerful white men, imagine what they gonna do to us. So that's all the more reason you gotta move carefully.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yep. That's why I said, be careful, black men.

[Just Hilarious]

All right, well, that is the latest with Laura. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. And then Lecrae will be joining us. His new album Reconstruction comes out August 22nd. We'll talk to him a little bit. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your mornings will never be the same.

[Just Hilarious]

Morning, everybody. It's CJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne. The God we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. And yes, we have Morgan back. Morgan what's up?

[DJ Envy]

Hey, y'.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All.

[Lecrae]

Hey.

[Morgan]

Thank you for holding it down.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Envy.

[Morgan]

You did your big one on the front page news.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, I was guessing. I was guessing.

[Morgan]

All right, y', all, let's get into it. So just a quick update on the tsunami warnings. The evacuation orders were lifted in Hawaii, and the threat is down in California after the one of the strongest earthquakes recorded in history. Now, the magnitude 8.8 quake take off Russia's Far east coast resulted in tsunami alerts being sent out. Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noem says that threat of a major tsunami has passed. And officials do warn that currents can remain dangerous for days after that. So that's good news, but, you know, if you are in the water, make sure you guys stay safe in out west. So.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Speaking about west, former Vice president Kamala Harris is ruling out a run for California governor. In a statement, Harris said she gave serious thought to making a run, but ultimately decided not to enter the race. Harris said, for now, her leadership in public service will not be in elected office. The former vice president says she's looking forward to helping elect Democrats across the country. Harris said she will share more details about her own plans in the coming months. This comes as speculation remains regarding the former presidential candidate possibly running for the White house again in 2028. You guys want to see it? Yes or no or new? What'd you say? New blood in there, Charlemagne?

[Lauren LaRosa]

New.

[Morgan]

New Dems.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Lecrae]

Yeah, I mean, I think. I think, you know, Kamala can definitely be a leader in the Democratic Party. And I mean, I think the interesting thing about, you know, the former VP is I. I kind of like that strategy because you think about it, over the last, what, five, six years, every time the VP has been out and about, it's kind of been transactional, right? Because, you know, 2020, she ran for President of the United States of America, and then she became, you know, the vp, and then she became the, you know, the Democratic nominee last year. So it's kind of like every time you see her in front of people, she's. She's kind of asking for something. I think now she just gives people the opportunity to get to know her. I don't think people ever really got the opportunity to get to know her. And if you actually get to know her, you'll like her. And I don't think. I don't think people ever, you know, got that opportunity ever.

[Just Hilarious]

And also I think. I think if she does, she'll get a fair shot of actually running. I mean, well, she had a fair shot the first time, but last time, I don't think she had enough time. And it was. People were just biting out. I don't think she really got. How many months did she have to campaign?

[Lecrae]

4 months, 100 days? I don't think. I don't. I don't know. I don't know if she should run again. But I definitely would like to see her write a book. I definitely would like to, you know, see her start a podcast and just build a real connection with people, you know, and she is, I mean, relatively young. I just. I just don't know what's gonna happen in 2028, man. I. I just think Democrats suck so bad. I don't. I don't know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The.

[Morgan]

Harris got to get to the. To the root, the grassroots of it. All right, so in other news, the Federal Reserve is leaving interest rates unchanged. Now, Fed Chair Jerome Powell spoke after the announcement, saying they are still cautious. Let's hear from him.

[Lecrae]

My colleagues and I remain squarely focused on achieving our dual mandate goals of maximum employment and stable prices for the benefit of the American people. Despite elevated uncertainty, certainty the economy is in a solid position. Although the increase in the second quarter.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was stronger at 3%, focusing on the.

[Lecrae]

First half of the year helps smooth through the volatility in the quarterly figures related to the unusual swings in net exports. The moderation in growth largely reflects a slowdown in consumer spending.

[Morgan]

So this comes as President Trump, of course, has been publicly pressuring Powell to lower rates. Now, shortly before the Fed made that announcement, Trump said he heard Powell will cut interest rates in their next meeting. Let's take a listen to President Trump's comments.

[Caller]

I hear they're going to do it in September, not today. For what reason? Nobody knows. Europe, as you know, cut their rates 11 times in the last short period of time. But the good news is we're doing better than anybody anywhere in the world. Nobody's doing anything even close to us. Even with the higher rates, he again.

[Morgan]

Said that Powell's decision not to cut rates is costing the economy hundreds of billions of dollars. Now, Powell's team, or excuse me, pal's, term is up in nine months. It's the fifth straight time the central bank has kept rates steady, no increases or decreases. Elsewhere. A Chicago man is suing Chicago police and the Cook County State's Attorney's office after spending nearly three decades in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Jerry Harrington filed a lawsuit after his murder conviction was vacated back in March. He was 16 years old when he was arrested and charged charged with the June 1991 murder of Vera Brown in the Dearborn Homes public housing development on the south side. Let's take a listen to Jerry Harrington.

[Lecrae]

It would interrogate me, physically beat me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Threaten me, and then haul me off and send me to the county jail at 16.

[Morgan]

So his lawsuit claimed Chicago police officers and detectives manipulated another man into falsely identifying Harrington as the shooter at trial, as well as falsified reports that Harrington had confessed. So I'll keep you guys posted on that and bringing things back to you guys in New York with that shooting that happened on Monday. The gunman who shot and killed four people at a Manhattan office building on Monday was sold the gun he used by. Was sold the gun he used by a supervisor. Now, CNN reports that Shane Tamora, 27 year old with a history of mental health, was sold a M4 rifle by a supervisor of his Las Vegas casino he worked at for fourteen hundred dollars. Now, investigators say the supervisor had bought the assault rifle legally in August of 2024 and assembled it before selling it to Tamora. Now, New York City Mayor Eric Adams believes Tamora was targeting the NFL league office located in that building, but took the wrong elevator bank. A suicide note was found on him expressing hostility towards the NFL. And today the funeral of the fallen NYPD officer Diderol Islam is happening. He was killed on Monday in that office tower mass shooting. There'll be a line of duty funeral for the fallen officer at a mosque in Parkchester section of the Bronx Islam. A 36 year old husband and father of two whose wife is expecting their third baby next month, was gunned down by Shane Tamura. That Las Vegas man with the history of mental illness. Now, deepest condolences to Islam's family and his brothers in blue. And that wraps it up for me, guys. I hope you guys enjoy your Thursday, Friday eve. That's your front page news. I'm Morgan Wood.

Thank you, Morgan.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No problem, girl.

[Just Hilarious]

All right, when we come back, lecrae will be joining us. We're gonna kick it with Craig. We're gonna kick it with liquor. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. Is DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Roses here as well. Well, we got a special guest in the building.

[Lecrae]

Yes, indeed, we got the good brother Lecrae.

[Just Hilarious]

What's up, brother?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's happening? What's happening, man?

[Just Hilarious]

How you feeling, man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm good, man. It's good to be here with y'.

[Caller]

All.

[Lecrae]

Good to see you, brother. I was listening to Reconstruction, man, and I told them earlier, I said if, if Lecrae wasn't a quote unquote, Christian rapper. Yeah. They would have to put this in rap album of the year category.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow, that's big.

[Lecrae]

I, I, I truly believe that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's big.

[Lecrae]

This is a phenomenal body of work.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I appreciate that, man. Like, yeah, man. I mean, you know, you live what you live with you, you know, you know, however how they meet you is how they see you. So it's like they met me in the four walls of the church, so, you know, that's the box. But I'm a product of hip hop, so you know what I'm saying? It's all love, but I appreciate that. It means a lot, bro.

[Lecrae]

Absolutely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Well, I want to start off with diving into the album. First of all, how long did it take you to do this album? Because this album is. You could tell you took a lot into doing this album. I mean, even to the beat selection and it sounds like a movie.

[Lecrae]

Cause you ain't dropped in a few years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I ain't put out an album. Album in a minute. Yeah, it took me a while. I just, you know, we pieced it together, you know what I'm saying? We pieced it together. I was real meticulous and just like, you know, I mean, let me, let me really, like, push the boundaries and stretch stuff out. I was giving S1 a headache, you know what I'm saying? Like, hey, can you add a little bit? Can you tweak this? Can you do this? You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, it took me a little while, but it was worth it, man. People rush music these days, man. They just make disposable music. And I just felt like it's time out for all.

[Just Hilarious]

Are you tired of being put in that box that you're. I don't wanna say people don't take you serious, but they look at you a certain way where they should just look at you as an artist, a hip hop artist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I would appreciate it. I would appreciate if they Listen, you call me what you wanna call me.

[Just Hilarious]

You're a hip hop artist. Like, but listen, you're a rapper.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, just listen to the music. I don't care what you. If you wanna call me whatever, gospel rapper, Christian rapper, listen, that's it. Because I think There's a misnomer. People get it twisted and they think that the music gonna sound like this or. You know what I'm saying? I'm still scarred from like. I went to an NBA practice and like, handed a. Back when I did my first church clothes mixtape and I handed a player my joint and he was like, I don't listen to no gospel rap. I was like, bruh, you know what I'm saying?

[Just Hilarious]

He probably had a horrible season that season.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not gonna mention on that.

[Lecrae]

It's like when somebody give you a Jesus pamphlet in the street and you look at it, you can't throw it out.

[Just Hilarious]

You gotta give it to somebody else. You can't throw it out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, man. So I don't. I don't like that. I don't like that people say it's corny. I'm like, bro, you got. I don't know where you even got this. Like, when's the last time you just sat and listened to a body of work to even create this like, idea of it? So, you know, but long as you listen, I don't care.

[DJ Envy]

When I listened to it, it was my first time listening to one of your full projects. I definitely expected something different because of the name Reconstruction.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Especially because I think of you as a gospel rap artist.

[Lecrae]

Damn.

[Just Hilarious]

He just say it won't be there.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, I'm just saying, like, it just happens naturally. So I thought Reconstruction, Gospel rap artists. I thought it was going to be very like, kind of like, like rap, but alter call Ish. It wasn't that. It was more about your story, right?

[Lecrae]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Why the name Reconstruction?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A lot of different reasons. So Reconstruction is like. It's a theme, it's thematic for my life and what I've experienced, but it's also just the era we living in. We dispose people, we throw them away. So, like, you see what happened at the Coldplay concert with the hr?

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? And it was like social media was excited to destroy them. Like, tear them down. They was wrong for a lot of reasons. First, anyway, I'm not even gonna get into why they was wrong, but I mean, first of all, bro, what is you doing? Why you got you wrapped up at the. I mean, you was wrong for cheating on your wife, but you really wrong. You wild for like being booed up, hugged up like that in public. You a whole CEO.

[Lecrae]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You.

[Lecrae]

You.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You tripping.

[Lecrae]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But the way social media was excited to destroy them was. Is like, that's what we get excited about. And my homie Mike D was, he was tearing apart a tree house in his backyard and he was doing it piece by piece, like, let me be careful. Because he didn't want to just demolish it because he wants to reuse that wood. And that's what I feel like reconstruction's about is like God don't just want to destroy people, he wants to reconstruct them, reuse them. I work in prisons all the time. I was in a prison not too long ago and there was a dude in there and I don't condone none of the stuff he did. He did some heinous things. They whooped him, they beat him up when he first got there. But over the course of his years there, like he's been influential, he's changed people's lives. He's done. And how long do we gotta like be looked at as this terrible human being before? It's like something different can happen with him. So that's kind of why I did reconstruction. The second reason why is because, you know, the Reconstruction era in American history is a time period where, you know, disenfranchised people were able to come up from the rubble and make a difference in society. So it's like, like both, both pieces.

[Lecrae]

You know, I've heard you also speak about deconstructing your, your faith before. So what did you discover about God? I guess when you stripped away religion that made you want to do a reconstruction?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Reconstruction. I got, I caught a lot of flack from the evangelical church when, when, when black bodies were being laid in the street. And I was very open about it and, and you know, people was like really hated that I was standing up for social issues. And it gave me a lot of tension with the church, with the broader church, American church. And so I was like, well, maybe this whole thing is wrong. So I was ready to throw it all away. I went to Egypt and I got to see some of the Christians over there and it was different. I got to read about Ethiopia and see how Christianity was not started in America. It's not. This white man's religion is something that, that existed outside of the European narrative and you know, shout out to my, my white brothers and sisters. But I'm just saying they don't, they. It's a lot of things have been co opted. It's not like this, this European religion. So I had to tear down these like American ideas of what God is, what church is and reconstruct from the perspective that the Bible really gives it. You know, what I'm saying, so it's kind of like eating mom's spaghetti. Like, if you got the recipe from two, 25 years ago, and now you leaving out stuff that ain't the same recipe. And I feel like the faith. So much stuff has been left out. So I just wanted to rebuild on the foundation. Jesus is my foundation, and let's rebuild this thing in a healthier way. And that's what reconstruction looks like, man.

[Lecrae]

You know, in the first track, you talk about being church hurt. And it's so interesting because I was just having a conversation with my good sister Debbie Brown yesterday, and she was talking about religious trump trauma. The trauma people have experienced. Yeah. Being in the church. Right. Like, what does church hurt to you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Church hurt is, you know, when the people that you expect to serve you well, the people that you expect to become your family and love you, well let you down.

[Lecrae]

But.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it happens everywhere, right? Every. It's not just in the church. It could be. You know, I remember when the game was crying because he thought hip hop was gonna be something that it wasn't. You know what I'm saying? And it's like he was. Hip hop hurt, you know what I mean? People have expectations, and the expectations ain't met. And I think the problem is we blame God and it ain't. That's not a God hurt. That's a people hurt. People let you down. God didn't. You know what I'm saying? So I think people turn their back on church because of that. And I, you know, for me, man, I love. I, you know, I ain't getting sponsored by Chipotle, but I love Chipotle. They good, but certain. Chipotle's, they don't be seasoning that food, right. It don't make me say, I hate Chipotle. I'll never go to Chipotle again. I may not go to that one or I may not go. And buddy working behind, but I still love Chipotle. So I think that's what people do with God and with church. Like, oh, they had a terrible experience. I'm done with God. My mom, you know, she grew up in a very religious world like that. She was done. She didn't raise me in church because she was like, they burnt me too bad. So, you know, we had to work through that trauma with her. So I get it.

[Caller]

It.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

We're still kicking it with Lecrae. Lauren.

[DJ Envy]

You talk about a lot of your life stuff in the album, so I know some of the background. But, like, church wise, like, because you talk so different than a lot of the church leaders or people that are in faith. Do you get anxiety from that? Like, when you put out interviews? I watched one you were talking to. I forget. His name is Mike. Y' all were talking about, like, church denominations and that not being a real thing anymore.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And I was like, I could never watch this with my grandma.

[Just Hilarious]

Nah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, I. You just gotta know who rock with you. You know what I'm saying? I'm not afraid to just tell the truth. After you being in this game, been in this game for so long, you realize, like, there's always gonna be a critic. There's always gonna be somebody. And if you don't stand for what you believe in, somebody's gonna knock you off your pivot. I played the game too long, if that makes sense. Like, I danced. I remember my first time coming here. I was so nervous. I was like, all right, what do I gotta say? Let me not mess this up. And you start feeling like, I gotta represent the Christians. I gotta represent and the hip hop community. I gotta. You know. And then after a while, you just like, bro, I'm. I'm just not gonna be who God called me to be. And I don't really got time to wrestle with all these weird things. I. I remember being so, like, torn, and how do I navigate? Like, my first time meeting J. Cole was such an embarrassing moment because I. I felt like. You saw me.

[Lecrae]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? It was like, how do I. What was the story, bro? So. So we was at a Super bowl party years back, and now I was tipsy. I was, you know, saying I was indulging a little too much, but. And I no longer drink, by the way, so in case anybody. It ain't a religious thing. It's a sobriety thing. But I approached J. Cole, and then I'm like, okay, what do I do? What do I say? That's J. Cole. I don't. And then what comes out my mouth is, hey, bro, do you believe in Jesus? And it was just like, not. Hello, not. What's up, bro? My name's like. It was just like, who is it?

[DJ Envy]

Real quick.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God.

[Lecrae]

You said it. Like, what's that you claiming? Yeah, that's not really.

[Just Hilarious]

I was really.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I pressed him, like, for the kingdom. It was like. I was like. You know what I'm saying? Like, I really pressed him. So he was like. I mean, I. I grew up in church, but I'm processing what I believe. And you know what I'M saying. And I was like, all right. I was like, well, take my number down. He took my number down. And then I was like. He walked away. And I said, hey, man, you didn't even put my number in your. My name in your phone. How you gonna call me back? You don't know my name. I really crashing out like an idiot.

[Lecrae]

So you didn't know who he was?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said that to him, and he looked. He was like, I know who you are. You know what I'm saying? I was like, oh, I felt stupid. But it was that era, you know, this is like 10 years ago. But it was that crazy. I stupid. It, like, just nervous, not knowing who to be, not knowing how to walk in my own identity, not knowing how to be who God called me to be. And just. And I think it just took time for me to get comfortable in my own skin. So I don't really like you saying, I don't trip no more when I like. The religious community may be mad at me, the non religious community may be mad at me, but have you met Cole since then? I ain't.

[Lecrae]

But to me, if I was, I'm not gonna front. If I was Cole, I'd be like, yo, Lecrae fake. And I really not say that because I met you. You drunk as hell.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He couldn't tell, though, if you talking.

[Lecrae]

Like that, Maybe I think it was giving a little. He ran up. I believe in Jesus, maybe, like, I deserve that one. And y' all haven't spoke at all?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah.

[Lecrae]

I wonder what he thinks of you.

[Caller]

You.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I. I don't know, bro. I don't know. It was bad.

[Just Hilarious]

Crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was bad, bro. It was bad.

[Lecrae]

And.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I mean. But I own it. It's like, I own it. You know what I'm saying? I own my story.

[Just Hilarious]

It's like, that's kind of what you did to Prince. Same thing.

[Lecrae]

That is not what I did.

[Just Hilarious]

Yes, it is. What's the first thing you said to Prince?

[Lecrae]

First of all, it is Prince, right? He. One morning, he was up here at the radio station, like five in the morning. Somebody was like, yo, Princess. I'm like, prince, why would Prince be here? Yeah. And he. We went. We put this station on auto. We went. He was walking down the hall with two old white women.

[Caller]

Heaven.

[Lecrae]

And he was nice as hell. He came up to us. Spoke not nice as hell. I'm sorry. He was nice as heaven. And he came up to us.

[Just Hilarious]

What's the first thing you said?

[Lecrae]

I said, I grew up Jehovah Witness. Too.

[Just Hilarious]

Didn't even say hello. That's what I did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's the same story.

[Just Hilarious]

That's what you did.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You said it was awkward and.

[Just Hilarious]

Say hello.

[DJ Envy]

It's just in the moment. You kind of just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Six o' clock in the morning.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It.

[Lecrae]

I'm just. Yeah, but at least. I mean, that's. I had.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's religious trauma. No, no, that's Prince.

[Lecrae]

What are you talking about, man? Come on, come on.

[DJ Envy]

Let's take a minute there. Can we talk about that for a Jehovah's Witness?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jehovah's Witness, That's. That's such religious trauma. That's like, yeah, my brother.

[Lecrae]

That's cult. Oh, yeah, that's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's cult action. And I know the Jehovah's Witness gonna come at me for that, but that's a. That's a whole cult now.

[Lecrae]

I don't think it's a cult. I have to say that because my mom is still. He don't mean it. He don't mean it.

[Just Hilarious]

I gotta say, because my mom is still there.

[Lecrae]

Somebody's gonna send this to her. I don't think it's a cult, but I, I understand what you're saying because, like, man, when you a kid and you growing up and everybody else celebrating holidays and you and you ringing doorbells.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Religion. Religion is the term. Religion. I mean, biblically, religion is, is like. It's a practice, right? But what we mean in our society is like, it is rules without relationship. In a lot of ways, it's like religion to me is if you love your wife, you come home with flowers and you say, here's what I'm supposed to give you, sweetheart. That's religious relationship is. I was thinking about you all day, baby. I got you some flowers and I just wanted to show you some love. That's relationship. So to me, it's like I came out the womb and I can't have birthday parties and. And I got to do all these things and button up this. I don't even know if I got a relationship with God. Like, why would I want to be connected to a God who don't want to.

[DJ Envy]

How do you raise kids in religion then? Because I think a lot of people would say that there's like. I mean, you don't have that right, because you said your mom didn't really.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but I got three kids, but.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, so are you raising your kids in religion? And how do you do it?

[Lecrae]

You raise them through. In a relationship?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah, that's how. I mean, I. I Don't like, hey, kids, I'm bringing. We're going to church. Because I feel like this is the healthiest place for you, because I. I've met God. I don't. My. My daughter's the only one of my kids who's gotten baptized. Because I'm like, I don't want to force nothing on y'.

[Lecrae]

All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all gonna have to make this decision for yourself. This was her decision that she made, and we celebrate that. I've had hard convos with my oldest son, who was like, I don't know if I believe this. Would I be a Muslim if I didn't live in this house? And we have those dialogues, and I love those. Like, yeah, let's go there. Let's have these conversations so that he can. But I want him to see the consistency of my life. He's like, nah, dad. Like, he talks about the fruit of the spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, self control. But then he lives it. He apologizes when he mess up because I done spazzing. But then I come back and, like, he sees that I have a relationship with God, and for him, he's made that decision on his own as well. But it's like, I'm not saying you better. I'm saying this is what I feel like is the healthiest way.

[Lecrae]

That's why I don't like the whole disfellowshipping at the. At the. At the Kingdom Hall. You know, that's actually what turned me off to it, whether I. Whether I realized that or not. But as I got older, I realized the reason I was turned off to it is when watching my father get disfellowshipped, my father needed help in that moment. He was dealing with substance abuse issues. Yeah, you don't just fellowship a man for that. And then they make you come to the Kingdom hall, but nobody speaks to you. And they announced to the whole congregation, such and such has been disfellowship from the Kingdom. I'm like, God, so your pops is.

[Just Hilarious]

In there, and they just cancel them.

[Lecrae]

Right then in front of everybody. Nobody talks. Like, they don't talk to you when.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You'Re dispelled and how you supposed to heal?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right?

[Lecrae]

Like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See, I'm saying, like, crazy. That's what I'm saying. Like, I said, like, I don't get that. I was just. When I was walking down the street yesterday, a dude on the block passed me the flyer, and he was a. Like a street preacher. And he ended up being a dope one, but a Lot of times, my issue with street preachers, too, is it's like, bro, you yelling at people, you condemning people, like you don't even know their names. I got one dude ran up on me as I was leaving a Wu Tang concert. And he was like, little cry. What are you doing here? I was, like, enjoying some music. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know? But then he was. Was blasting me and blasting people around him. So I walked up to this table, and I'm like, bro, this. He was in an argument with another dude. And I said, yo, my man, what's your name? And the dude he was arguing with told me his name. I said, where you from? He told me where he's from. I said, word, man. You want to get together sometime? Maybe get coffee and talk about what you believe? He's like, I'm down. I say, how about you try that, my guy? Instead of yelling at him and telling him he's going to hell.

[Lecrae]

Wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean? But it's like, that's the stuff I don't. I can't fool with. Like, it's like, there ain't no relationship in that.

[Just Hilarious]

All right, we got more with Lecrae when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Lecrae]

Yeah, let me take y' all back, man. As I do so well, wasn't nothing like that, man. It wasn't nothing like that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

First time she was in my math class. Long hair, brown skin with the fat. Sat beside me, used to laugh, had mad jokes. The teacher always got mad, so we passed notes. It started off so innocent. She had a vibe in it, started digging it. I was a young and straight crushing.

[Lecrae]

Trying to play cool but couldn't wait to get to school.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Cause when I seen them thighs on it and them hips on it and them lips on it Got me daydreaming, man, what I'm thinking How she rides on it. If she sits on it, if she licks on it make it hard for me to stand up. As time goes by Attractions getting deeper Wet dreaming Thinking that I'm smashing but.

[Lecrae]

I'm sleeping, I want it bad and.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I ain't never been obsessed before.

[Just Hilarious]

She wrote a notice that you ever.

[Lecrae]

Had sex before And I ain't never did this before.

[Just Hilarious]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Lecret. His new album comes out August 22nd. Reconstruction.

[Lecrae]

Charlemagne, how do you maintain faith in a culture like hip hop that often monetizes your trauma, but resists your healing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's a, that's a, that's a deep one right there, bro. I think there's irresponsibility. I. I get it. You a young dude off the block. This is an opportunity for you to get a check. The industry, the powers that be say, hey, tell that story five more times and you're gonna get more checks. And you don't know enough about who you are, your own identity, your value, your self worth to even understand.

[Lecrae]

Peace to the planet. Charlamagne tha God here. Look, we all make mistakes, but owning up to them is the right thing to do. You know Degree Cool Rush deodorant? Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with their fans. Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition and degree listened. They admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's antiperschement for the last decade. It's the same reason why people were not happy when it changed. So if you never tried it, it might be a good time to see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG Degree Cool Rush for yourself.

[Just Hilarious]

Every morning, I step into the shower with one goal. To show up as the best version of me. This is where I set the tone. Where I decide how I'm going to give today all I got. Confident, focused, 100% myself. Because how I start my day, it matters. And Method Body Wash is more than just soap. It's part of the ritual that gets my head right. The fragrance, not just clean. It's a mindset shift. Transportive grounding. Like flipping a switch from sleep to ready for anything in this world. What's up, y'?

[Lecrae]

All?

[Just Hilarious]

I'm DJ Envy. When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is look in the mirror and say, you are somebody. Sorry to give yourself a little confidence now, subtly, I'm not just washing off yesterday. I'm stepping in today with purpose. Empower to take on the day. Moisturizing suds. No parabens, no phthalates. Cruelty free method transforms. You turn your everyday shower into a moment to Remember and try Method body wash now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, fam. This is Carlos Miller from the 85 South Show. If you're like me, you're always thinking about how to level up your career. Maybe you're fresh out of college, just starting in your field, or even looking to switch things up and find your true calling. Whatever stage you're in, remember that this is your time to grow, to learn, and to build something that lasts. State Farm understands that early career development is key to long term success. They've been a steady presence in our community and they know having the right support early can make all the difference. State Farm is there to help you make smart moves and to help you get the coverage you need. We all know that the journey to success is a marathon, not a sprint. It's all about staying focused, staying grounded, and making sure you're protected every step of the way. Let's build our careers with confidence, knowing that State Farm is there to support us, just like they've always been. Because like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. Find out more@state farm.com. like, I'm being like, used, but I don't think that's how hip hop started. That wasn't the how it initiated. It was us as grids in the community telling what was going on around us, not like trying to like capitalize off our. It's trauma porn, you know what I'm saying? So I don't like that. And so that's why I do bring the healing side. That's why even when I collaborate with other artists, like, you know, when I did a song with Waka back in the day and I was like, let's talk about the other side of the game. I done sold drugs. You done sold drugs. But no one talks about the trauma that come with that. What's it like sitting behind a cell? What's it like seeing your dad was a crack addict for years and just to see that reality and live under that, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, let's talk about the trauma of that. And then the healing aspect of it is I'm walking and breathing as a healed individual. I think people want me to be perfect so many times without understanding what I came from, what I came through through. And it's like, well, be perfect. And I'm like, look, I'm not as bad as you think I am, but I'm not as good as you think I am either. I'm a human being in the middle trying to, trying to walk this thing out as Best I can.

[DJ Envy]

You grew up in this household where your mom is not pressing you to do any. Right. And then you find God through your own journey. At what point do you. Because you've said you hate the church. You said it on his album.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said I hate it.

[DJ Envy]

Hate it.

[Lecrae]

Hated.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hated.

[Lecrae]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

So what makes you bring people. Because when people find God, they go find a physical church. And a lot of times they can't separate the two.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

What makes you bring people to a physical church to expose them to what might become a church?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hate if I love the church. The big C. The. The people who love God all around the world is global. It's not American. The. The models that we see for church are generally like, sometimes it's an industrial complex, sometimes it's a system. The work still get done. Like, sometimes this is like. I get it. It's like, it's an infrastructure. It's a system. There's lights and there's cameras and there's these things. Like, it's a oratorical speech being given in music. It's a Broadway production. I get it. That's not what church is. That is a expression from the people who love God. But what church is, is a gathering of God's people who come together as a community to live out, to celebrate God, to navigate their lifestyle. So some of the other things that get built up that we call church, you know, shout out to my guy, Carl Lance, and salute to car.

[Lecrae]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, he was a part of that complex, you know what I'm saying? And it's like they're made. The pastors are made out to be gurus. None of them. None of them are gurus. They giraffes on ice skates. They don't got it. They don't got it figured out, you know, but everyone sees them as gurus. So when they fall or slip, they should be responsible.

[Lecrae]

But.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But they've been propped up to be these gurus, and it's like, bro, you, You.

[Lecrae]

They.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They fooling themselves, thinking they got it all together. So it's. I don't hate the church. I love the church. The expressions we see a lot of times in America, I think are. Are silly, you know what I'm saying? But I navigate them and I deal with them because that's. That's where we are as a culture. You know what I'm saying? It's like. It's like hip hop. It's like, I know what hip hop used to look like. I know what it looks like now. I think Some stuff is silly. I think having to make a TikTok go viral for people to enjoy your song is silly. But it's where we are, so I'm not just downing it. I'm not like, that's stupid. Y' all dumb. Y' all lame. It's like, it's where we are.

[Lecrae]

I love Carl for the same reason I love a lot of your music is because y' all are not afraid to show people that you made mistakes. Y' all not afraid to show people that you flawed. Y' all not afraid to show people that you still wrestle with the same things we all wrestle with the insecurities. Like, I love on Die for the Party. When you started off, you said, I was wrestling. Like, should I write a verse? The culture got enough clout chasing vultures out here trying to prove they were. If they need attention, they can't imagine me not trying to make myself look bigger off of this Kendrick, man attention. Like, when you hear you rap, that I can hear you wrestling with, man, should I even write, man? You know what I mean? Like, but he did shout me out. I mean, I can't just let this go by.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See, man, that was tough. You right. Dot will throw you a. He'll throw you a layup. And it's like, do I dunk this or not?

[Lecrae]

Because.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because I don't. Especially for him, because he got so many cloud chasers. He got so many. Just. So for me, for Kendrick to. For DOC to mention me in a song and say, I wonder what Lecrae would do that. First of all, he's paying homage to my lifestyle, my processing. It's not like he's a good. Lecrae's a good rapper. He's saying, I wonder what Lecrae would do in this.

[DJ Envy]

He's a good person.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. This circumstance. And for me, it's like, I didn't want to say nothing. My homie at. He was like, you need to respond. I said, nah, bro, that's lame. Like, it just feels nasty. And he was like, bro, the world is watching. The world is listening. The man said your name, asked you a question. He did ask me a question. And so I was like, ah, try. And I really didn't even like it when I was writing it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And then.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't even like it. And then it just, you know. So I sent Dot the whole album, and I said, pick a song, man. I'm waiting. I ain't heard nothing back.

[Lecrae]

So I love the last line on there. You said. You said love is patient. So I'm trusting in the narrative. And Christ ain't watched the party die. He died instead of it. What does that mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Basically, like, you know, on the song, he was saying on his. On his song, you know, watch the party die. It's kind of like. It's like, man, y', all, he sees the, the dysfunction, and he's like, ugh. You know what I mean? And we all see the dysfunction, and we all, like, like. But if we really want to end all the evil that exists out there, that means we gonna die too, you know, because there's evil that exists in here. So you got to be also mad at yourself. And, and Jesus didn't sit back and say, yeah, y' all are disgusting. He said, I'm gonna take that disgust on myself. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna lay my life down and let y' all walk across my back to, to cleanliness into wholeness. Instead of. Of condemning y', all, I'mma reach my hand out to save y'. All. So that was the picture I was painting instead of just being condemning, because it. When you see something that you hate, you like, ugh. But then you gotta look in the mirror sometimes and be like, ugh. And if I want it all to go, I gotta go with it. So Jesus is like, yeah, it's whack. But I'm. I'm. I'll take your ugliness on me. You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

So I saw your response to Young Thug when he tweeted, if you're a rapper and you're a rat, you got to just go gospel twinning. You tried to reach out and kind of give him that, like, hey, it's. It's good over here. It's not a graveyard. It's a garden. Have y' all spoke?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, but I'm down, like, Thug holl at me. I mean, I, I. It's not a graveyard, it's a garden. We thriving, we growing. I got health, I got. My life is. Is. Comes with the same hardships anybody else's life. You won't get wisdom without suffering, so you gonna suffer. But I don't be worried about no warrants. You know what I'm saying? I go home to my wife on a regular basis. I'm raising my kids. We have great relationship dynamic. Like, I got accolades, I got awards. That's not what I do it for. I pay my bills on time. I'm. I'm fine. I'm not in a graveyard. And I guess to me, I'm like, why do rats have to go to gospel? Like, what is it?

[Lecrae]

It.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To me, it sound like that's a lame place for lame. The lane. We send the lames over there. And I'm like, okay. I mean, in a sense, you're right, because Jesus makes the lame walk.

[Lecrae]

They used to do that too. Whenever, like, an artist would get in trouble. Like, an artist would get in trouble, they'd be like, all right, he gotta make the gospel, right? Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, yeah, I've seen that in my own. I've seen artists get in trouble and my phone be ringing. Hey, you need to make a song?

[Lecrae]

No, man, cut it out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm dead serious. I ain't naming no names.

[Lecrae]

I ain't naming no names. What did Kendrick say when he heard that for the party?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know. Honestly, I. I ain't talked to Dot. Like, one on one in a minute.

[Just Hilarious]

I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We talk. We got some of the same friends. So the last thing I heard was, yo, they rocking with it. And. And they was. He was. He was in the middle of doing super bowl stuff, so you know what I'm saying? So it was like one of them type of situations. But I did send him the whole project, and I was, you know, I'll put a yay on him and redo the album if he send that verse in. I don't care. Just pick one. But die for the party would be hard because, yeah, it'd be hard. So, yeah, I'm with it.

[Just Hilarious]

But let's get into it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Lecrae]

Talk to me, man.

[DJ Envy]

It was going down yesterday in the sports streets because at the same time that the news about Shannon Sharp and the ESPN firing happened, then, boom, there's this announcement that Gilbert Arenas was arrested as a part of an indictment. So he was arrested, but he's now been released. But he was arrested on a. As a part of a federal indictment alleging that he operated an illegal gambling business. So it's alleged that the illegal gambling business included high stakes poker games that were played at a California mansion that Gilbert Arenas owned. Now he's charged with. And he. There's five other people included in this as well, too. But he is charged with one count of conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business, one count of operating an illegal gambling business, and one count of making a false statement to federal investigators. He saw a judge yesterday afternoon not too long after he was arrested. He posted a bond and he was let go. He also posted to his Instagram when he was arrested that he ain't got nothing to do with nothing. All he did was rent a home.

[Lecrae]

I don't understand this one at all. You can't have. You can't gamble in your house or in a. I didn't. I didn't know this. This is new to me. Me.

[Just Hilarious]

Well, you can't have an illegal gambling ring if that's what the. If that's what's going on.

[Lecrae]

It's a ring because you was.

[Just Hilarious]

That's what I'm saying. It might have happened a lot. Like they have these high stake poker.

[Lecrae]

Games weekly, which you can't do. I did not know you couldn't do that. I had no idea. So, no, you can't have gambling.

[Just Hilarious]

You can't have a casino in your crib.

[Lecrae]

See you now you saying something else.

[DJ Envy]

Now let me. Let me tell y' all how the indictment broke it down. So the indictment was unsealed. That's why we were able to get the details. So basically it says that Gilbert Arenas or alleges that Gilbert Arenas and the other defendants operated this illegal gambling business. So what. What would happen was there was this mansion that Gilbert would rent out, and then they would invite people over for the game. So they would host these games and they would have, you know, women who they would charge attacks that would act as like the women who were, like, serving drinks, providing massages and offering companionship to the poker players. Allegedly.

[Just Hilarious]

No sex, though.

[DJ Envy]

No sex here. No. Yes.

[Lecrae]

Then they would have you just be volunteering information.

[Just Hilarious]

Be clear. Because when you hearing painful massages and stuff like that, that's what it starts to sound like. But go ahead.

[DJ Envy]

I understand.

[Just Hilarious]

I just want to make sure it's clear.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Lecrae]

And then they alleged that man, for a while. Please, man. Maybe be trying to lead the witness, man.

[Just Hilarious]

He's trying to clear. Clear things up.

[Lecrae]

Go ahead, continue.

[DJ Envy]

And then they alleged that some of the defendants managed an illegal pot limit during the poker games. So basically they collected a rate, which is a fee that the house charges from each pot, either as a percentage or a fixed amount per hand. And they invited different players at different times to compete. They say that they had valet. There was security, There were all these things. So it was set up. They had chefs valet. Armed. Security guards were also hired to staff these illegal poker games as well. So it was set up, I guess, to be ran like something that you're supposed to be doing all the time. And maybe that's why it's illegal. I don't know exactly.

[Just Hilarious]

I always knew that you couldn't have like a casino night in your crib with real money. I never understood why.

[Lecrae]

I didn't even know that.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, like, I had a casino night, but you had to use fake bills, and it was no real winnings. You could get like gifts, like a basket or something, but you cannot have real cash. And I never understood why. I. I don't.

[Lecrae]

I still don't understand why. I don't get it.

[Just Hilarious]

Maybe because they can't tax it or. I have no idea. But I never understood if you have a blackjack night at your house, you should be able to gamble. People have poker nights all the time. I know you can't, but I don't know why. I know that you can. I know it's illegal, but I don't. I never knew why.

[DJ Envy]

So according to there's a K go.

[Lecrae]

Here go the top dog LaRosa.

[DJ Envy]

According to tylem and Associates PC firm.com they list multiple reasons why it could be deemed illegal. Regulation and licensing, taxation that people taxes.

[Just Hilarious]

I knew that was number one.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Just preventing crime in general. They it also could be illegal because there's laws that try and protect vulnerable individuals who would be gambling and who would be addicted to it. Zoning and safety, that's what they list on their website as reasons why that could potentially be illegal. But in the indictment, the announcement or the press release for the indictment, they didn't specify how they got to the charges. All they did was break down how it was happening, who was involved. And they did say that who else.

[Lecrae]

Is involved in this? Because there's got to be something, something big. Like there's somebody they target in here. Who else is involved in this?

[DJ Envy]

There's a guy. Well there's five men. The all of them seem pretty regular to me except for there's one guy that they mentioned was like a she.

[Lecrae]

Don'T know none of them but they all seem regular.

[Just Hilarious]

Something something.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, Envy. The reason why I said that is because the federal indictment itself, when they mention the men, they only mention like they point out one guy in particular. And I'm gonna give you the label that they gave him. He's like a international something or other.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah. They made it seem like his money was coming from illegal money. And that was the problem.

[Lecrae]

It feel like they were targeting somebody.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Lecrae]

And whoever was around in that situation all got jammed up.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Lecrae]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And then because the same guy. So this guy is including a suspected high level member of an Israeli transnational organizational crime group.

[Lecrae]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Now that same guy that later on in the press release for the the indictment or arrest announcement, they talk about how that same guy also allegedly like lied on a form when coming over here and then talking about his, his citizenship like and he also alleged that he had tried to like do a sham marriage to stay here. Like all these different things. So there's specific information detailed about him. Everyone else is just listed as a part of this like gambling thing that they did. But they specifically had these details about him. So maybe that's who they were trying to come for.

[Just Hilarious]

But that's why in the hood, like, there's always in a legal gambling spot in the hood where people go there.

[Lecrae]

I didn't say. I didn't say what happens.

[Just Hilarious]

I didn't say 34. I just said in the hood, an illegal gambling spot. That's why it's illegal. You're not supposed to be able to do it. But with Gilbert, he probably rented out the crib. And I'm sure there's some information where they're gonna say that he knew it was what it was. But he's saying I just rented out my house. Like I Airbnb. I just ran out. And you can rent out your crib to anybody, right?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. I don't know. But that guy that we were talking about, it's called marriage fraud.

[Lecrae]

Fraud.

[DJ Envy]

Marriage fraud. False estate, false statements to immigration. Yeah, Shan, marriage, all the things.

[Lecrae]

So I don't know. I've never heard of this ever in my life.

[Just Hilarious]

You know gambling spots were illegal.

[DJ Envy]

What My grandma told me.

[Lecrae]

We used to.

[DJ Envy]

Like, you know how they used to talk about running the numbers. She always used to talk about how illegal that was. But I don't know how he acting stupid now.

[Just Hilarious]

He knows.

[Lecrae]

Y' all are. Y' all are conflating so many different things.

[Just Hilarious]

There's no difference.

[Lecrae]

I've never heard of what law. I've never heard the case Gilbert Reigns was caught in. I never heard. Heard of somebody doing something in their house. Gambling and being indicted. I've never heard that. Yes, I know gambling spots are illegal in the hood. I've never heard that.

[Just Hilarious]

It's the same thing, just on a higher level.

[DJ Envy]

I think for me, my question was, if it's his home, he's just allowing it to be rented. What if it's just being rented and he doesn't know what's happening? I want to know how they know he is involved in the full operation that they're detailing. That's what I had a question of. Because you could just rent your home and then did.

[Lecrae]

Correct.

[DJ Envy]

But that's it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I had one more.

[DJ Envy]

Because the Diddy document that I told you guys was going to drop yesterday.

[Just Hilarious]

Yesterday? What was it?

[DJ Envy]

He's asking for a new trial, but we won't have time.

[Just Hilarious]

A new trial?

[DJ Envy]

Yes, but not only for the prosecution. The man act because he can't be tried on other stuff anymore.

[Just Hilarious]

But he wants prostitution, you mean?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, prostitution.

[DJ Envy]

I said prostitution.

[Just Hilarious]

The prosecution, whatever. All right. Well, Charlemagne.

[Lecrae]

Well, Matthew Day, you want to know something about peeing and why it's illegal, we'll Discuss peeing. Yeah. See, I'm about to tell you something that you don't know, like urinating. Yep. Oh, God. Boy, he just trying me this morning for no goddamn reason. He's just doing his own.

[DJ Envy]

Ax them.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Ask Tim Ltd. See you in Bark in the Street.

[Lecrae]

Okay.

[Just Hilarious]

Jesus. All right, stop in the days.

[Lecrae]

Up next is the Breakfast Club.

[Just Hilarious]

Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club.

[Caller]

Man, I just wanted to know how. Why you came up with the donkey of the day.

[Lecrae]

Because you're mean.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I am not.

[Lecrae]

What did I do? There's a bunch of donkeys out here in the street. That is why Charlemagne is here. If we live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we lay a thing we never would say it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To, give it to on the Breakfast Club. In the words of Charlemagne, the God, he's a donkey that was.

[Caller]

Oh, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charlemagne.

[Lecrae]

You giving donkey today? To who now? Well, donkey of the day for Thursday, August 31st goes to Matthew Day. Okay. Matthew is a 30 year old AD executive from here in New York city. According to LinkedIn, he is a graduate of Penn State and is a co founder of Ribeye Media. And he is the what is the film's head of client. The firm's head of client Success. Well, he was busted for disorderly conduct. Now, I want the record to show he was in Florida when this happened. What does your Uncle Charlotte always say about the great state of Florida? Say it with me. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Now, I don't know what part of New York City he was from, but I do know he was in Florida. And this is why you shouldn't drink the tap water ever in Florida. Okay? When you drink the tap water in Florida, you become a Florida fool. All right? These are the things they don't tell you on the news piece, people. Now, I need the record to also show that I think this charge of disorderly conduct is too light for set offense. See, whenever I hear stories like this, I think about two things. The person who did the offense and the victim. Because I think to myself, how do you get in a position like Matthew Day? What's going on in his brain, okay? What substance was he on that made him do what he did? And I also think about being the victim and having to experience what they experienced from Matthew Day. Well, God damn it, Uncle Charlotte, please tell us what the hell Matthew Day did. What? Well, Matthew was arrested for allegedly urinating, peeing, taking a leak, emptying his bladder from a rooftop bar in Florida onto several victims.

[Just Hilarious]

This is so dumb.

[Lecrae]

The cops charge that Matthew Day entered the rooftop bar, pulled his penis out of his shorts, and decided that everybody below him needed to be sponsored by Mellow Yellow. Okay? This man was treating his penis like a bottle of champagne after an NBA team won a championship. Just spraying it everywhere. Okay? This news report said says several passersbys were struck with urine. Security spotted Day relieving himself and escorted the defendant out of the bar into police custody. Now, I think about the police in this situation, too. Do you wait until he finishes peeing or do you arrest him mid screen and do you let him wash his hands before you cuff him? Because I don't believe officers would have to touch his hands directly in a situation like this. But when you bring him in for fingerprinting, you definitely do. But I think the officers wear gloves. Anyway, Matthew Day was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct on. On the premises of a licensed establishment. A misdemeanor. He was released on 500 bond. This charge is way too light, America. Okay, Matthew needs to be charged with sexual. Sexual assault or some type of sexual battery. Okay? He peed on several people without their consent. Okay, what happened to assault by bodily fluid? All right, Florida, y' all don't have that on the books. What about public lewdness? Okay, Lewdness is behavior that is sexually suggestive, indecent, or offensive. Okay? You gave several strangers golden showers without their consent. I don't care that he was peeing. If your penis is out in public, you should be charged with something of a sexual nature. And if any bodily fluid comes out of your penis onto someone else without their consent, then you should be treated like a sex offender. I'm not saying this man is R. Kelly, but based off the circumstances, I think he believed he could fly. Now, a criminal complaint noted that Matthew Day showed an indication of alcohol influence. Wounds. Of course. Okay, nobody does this sober. But once again, men, we gotta move with discipline. You have to make better choices because the choices you make make you. He's 30 with a lot to lose. All right? Because the criminal charge may just be a misdemeanor. That don't mean nothing. Cause the civil suit's gonna cost him. I don't know what kind of paper he touching, but you peed on me, sir. Okay, I am traumatized. I think he might have been eating asparagus. Your honor. And I'm allergic to asparagus. Okay? I can't even use urinals anymore because I know what it feels like to be one Okay. I can't even listen to the classic record pushing P by gunna no more. Your Honor, I am traumatized by what happened to me. The moral of the story is, everything you work for can go to waste with one wrong decision. Please give Matthew Day the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.

[Caller]

Day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You are the doy of the day.

[Lecrae]

This should definitely be a stronger crime now, cuz. I'm not sure somebody correct me on this, but somebody told me a long time ago that if you get caught peeing in public in New Jersey, you got to register as a sex offender. Any truth to that? What? I don't know.

[Just Hilarious]

I've only heard that cuz you said it.

[Lecrae]

I heard that before.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Say it again.

[Lecrae]

If you he caught peeing in public in New Jersey, you got to register as a sex.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, wow.

[Lecrae]

I don't know how true that is. They say if you get caught peeing in Jersey and you wanted them people that take their pants and pull their pants all the way down the ankles and this, you know, you. Sometimes you walk in the stall and you see people got their pants all the way down to their ankles while they peeing at the urinal. Say you got registered as a sex offender, man, you get charged with public Ludinus, man, you got your ass out for the world.

[Just Hilarious]

It's definitely Ludinus.

[Lecrae]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know about the sex offender. Oh, wait, that's crazy.

[Lecrae]

Oh, yeah. Wait.

[Just Hilarious]

Yes. Penalties.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Damn.

[Just Hilarious]

It says possible consequences if charged with Ludinus. Sex offender registry.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, because kids could be walking past.

[Lecrae]

If you're peeing in public, right?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah. Penalties for violating public urination ordinances or facing related charges can include sex offender registry.

[Lecrae]

I'm telling you, I heard that before, man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's disgusting.

[Lecrae]

If you was out one time and somebody was peeing in public and the person just screamed out, out, hey, man, you better stop that. You don't get charged with sex offender.

[Just Hilarious]

That would be crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Damn, y'.

[Lecrae]

All, Ain't nobody gonna believe you. You got that goddamn sign like, nah, I just got caught peeing in public. All right? Nope. Keep the kids away from me. Crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Just Hilarious]

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

[Lecrae]

Yes, indeed.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, well, I'm trying to decide on.

[DJ Envy]

Which one of these guys I want to take serious. I really enjoy spending time with both of them.

[Caller]

It's just a simple fact that they're brothers. Others.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Excuse me.

[Caller]

I told you it was a mess.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's it. I can tell by the tone. It was something. It was you. I know ain't nobody did nothing to you. It was you.

[DJ Envy]

All right, now, do they know that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You'Re dealing with both of them?

[Caller]

One of them does, and I don't.

[DJ Envy]

Think you said nothing to the other.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How close in age are they?

[Caller]

Maybe about three or four years apart.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay. Which one do you like more?

[Caller]

Well, you want me to tell you his name?

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's a damn shame. No, just say younger or older. Which one do you like more? More.

[Caller]

I like the older one.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How old are you?

[Caller]

I am 20. I'm 29.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How old is the oldest one?

[Caller]

39.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right. And then the younger one is a couple years younger. So they. Are they both in their 30s? Where did you meet both of them?

[Caller]

On Instagram.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right. At completely separate times, or did you meet one and then you started chilling with him and then met his brother, and then y' all started creeping?

[Caller]

Yes. Yes. I wasn't trying to, you know. You know, take up too much time.

[DJ Envy]

But, yes, I did.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I met one of them.

[DJ Envy]

You know what I mean? We hung out. It didn't really work out.

[Lecrae]

Out.

[Caller]

So I met the other one, and we imagine, you know, it worked out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know what? All right, so how y' all gonna break the news to the younger brother? Because the older brother knows, obviously. The. Right. The one. The second one that you. That you not the one that you met initially. The. The one that you were introduced to. He knows. Right?

[Caller]

He knows.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay. And then listen, is this a relationship that. That you want with this guy, or is y'. All. Y'.

[Lecrae]

All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Y' all just around?

[Caller]

You know, we just. We hanging out right now.

[DJ Envy]

But I can definitely see myself in a relationship. I see wedding bills and everything.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now can he see himself?

[Lecrae]

Peace to the planet. Charlemagne the God here. Look, we all make mistakes but owning up to them is the right thing to do. You know degree Cool Rush deodorant? Well last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with their fans. Degrees whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort effort to bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition and degree listen they admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's anti pressure for the last decade. It's the same reason why people were not happy when it changed. So if you never tried it, it might be a good time to see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself.

[Just Hilarious]

Every morning I step into the shower with one goal. To show up as the best version of me. This is where I set the tone, where I decide how I'm going to give today all I got. Confident, focused, 100% myself. Because how I start my day, it matters. And Method Body Wash is more than just soap. It's part of the ritual that gets my head right. The fragrance, not just clean. It's a mindset shift. Transportive grounding. Like flipping a switch from sleep to ready for anything in this world. What's up y'? All? I'm DJ Envy. When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is look in the mirror and say, you are somebody. Sorry to give yourself a little confidence now, subtly. I'm not just washing off yesterday. I'm stepping in today with purpose. Empowered to take on the day. Moisturizing suds? No. Parabens. No. Phthalates. Cruelty free Method transforms you. Turn your everyday shower into a moment to remember and try Method Body Wash now.

[Carlos Miller]

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because you. You gotta figure out how you gonna look to the both of them right now when the younger brother finds out that the older brother been smashing his. His girl and everything. You're gonna look a certain way. You're gonna look like something I can't say on the radio. You understand what I'm saying, right?

[Caller]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And do you care about that at all?

[Caller]

I feel like it wasn't intentional.

[Lecrae]

You said.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't give me that bs.

[Lecrae]

Don't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Don't talk. Don't play with me, all right? You play. You already playing with them. Don't play with me. Do you care? Be honest.

[Lecrae]

Boo.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Do you care about whether it was intentional or not? Because it's intentional now. So do you care about how you look to the both of them?

[Caller]

No.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay. All right, cool. Because then we ain't even got to get into all of that, all right? Because it's it. And. And listen, listen. It's no judgment, because you already like. No, I don't care like it is. But it's no shame in your game. So you don't.

[Just Hilarious]

Don't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Don't care about that. But do you care that you're gonna hurt the one that likes you most, which is the younger one and the one that don't know that you're sleeping with his brother? Yes.

[Caller]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And you ain't. So you gotta break the news. You gotta break the news. And I'd rather it be you than his brother, because his brother can paint the picture any type of way because that's his brother. And the loyalty is supposed to be with family first, right? And then I, you know, I just don't want the brother. The brother to put it all on you and make you look like you was the one. Like you was. You a filthy hoe. You know what I mean?

[Caller]

Okay. Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So I think you should break that to him. It ain't no easy way to do it, but I think you should do it before the brother do it. And. And the only reason why I'm saying do it not to clear your conscience, because you just said you don't really care about how you look because you care about hurting him. You can't deal with both of them.

[DJ Envy]

Okay?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Break the news to the younger brother, and if the older brother still want to deal with you, now, you free to do that. You're. You're free to do that, but you're not giving him the. The younger one. You're not giving him a choice, because he don't even know. See, the older one, he. He feel like he got it all figured out. He already got in his head, how you gonna tell his brother? Brother Shorty came on to me, you know, I mean, I'm just being a man, bro. And I tried to refuse it, and she kept coming at me. You already. You know how these guys do, especially brothers. So, no, break the news to the guy, and then you still want to deal with the older one. Deal with him if he don't want to deal with you. Whatever. It was a fun time, but it didn't last long. That's it.

[Caller]

I heard you. I heard you.

[Lecrae]

All right.

[Caller]

Thank you so much.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No problem.

[Just Hilarious]

Hello. Who's that?

[Caller]

This baby boy. What's good, bro?

[Just Hilarious]

What's up, baby boy? Holla at Jess?

[Caller]

Nothing, man. I want just to fix my m. Fix my mess, man. I around and lost my job, man, and lost my old lady mess around that DU all day. That viral post messed up everything I had going there, bro.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, my God. What's the viral post?

[Caller]

When the lady had. They took a picture of me at DU all day Charlemagne. Know what I'm talking about? He saw it, okay? But they took a picture of me at DUP all day. And the lady saw it, right? And the lady commented on it. I have or whatever inbox little do balls about it. He made the post about it, and I never got on the post and was like, no, I'm straight. I don't want. You heard me. I ain't say none of that. And my old lady, but my ex fell played about that. She like, you got thousands of people coming and on you, and you ain't never gonna scraping none of them females about you. You know what I'm saying?

[Lauren LaRosa]

So basically.

[Caller]

Basically, I'm an artist too. You feel me? So I'm like, baby, that's potential fans that I'm growing right now. You like, nah, that my name, y'. All. She's like, no, I need you to. You need to go let them Know, you took and you got somebody, and I never did it. And she fell. Played by.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Absolutely. Because I'm all for you being an artist. I'm all for you gained. Gaining your. Your fans and everything, but not at the expense of your relationship. Unless, you know, that's something that you. You ain't prioritizing. You get what I'm saying? Your lady felt disrespected. It is your job. Your job and as well as hers.

[Caller]

Right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right. To make sure that both of y' all are always solid. Like you. You gotta protect home no matter what. Whether you married to her or not. You in a committed relationship. Right. I totally understand. Understand. You're an artist. You got your own. You know, you. You building your platform. That's what's up. That's cool. But it's a way to still go about it respectfully, you know what I mean? You gotta let people know what you got going on. For real. All right? Now, I, I. You said Charlemagne. No, I ain't Charlemagne. I don't know what. I don't know exactly what Duvall Day consists of or whatever. I don't really know the situation, but I can. But from what I'm gathering, it's like you didn't really do anything detrimental to the relationship. But imagine where her mind can go if you didn't, if you. You like, you drive hot in your relationship. You know what I mean? You're not clarifying. She need clarity.

[Caller]

Facts, facts.

[Just Hilarious]

That's all.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's all.

[Caller]

But.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But that. That's all you can do, you know, Just give her that clarity as much as she needed. Reassure her, you know?

[Caller]

Yeah, that's dead now, though. I don't think it's nothing. Ain't no bite. Like I told her, man, you ain't even supposed to be worried about the comments. I hear Charlamagne said all the time. Don't even reply back.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, man. Well, I'm sorry about that, but, you know, you just gotta allow. You know, you. You gotta allow yourself not to get caught up. Yo, you. Is this a way to have fun and adore respectfully, you know what I mean? A way that you can keep your job and your lady, even though that's done. But for future references, when you do get a new lady, you. You got to give it that clarity, you know, when you get a. A new job or whatever, I don't know what's gonna happen, because, yeah, that ain't gonna be too clean, you know what I mean? You gotta. You gotta make sure. You gotta make sure you at certain. Certain systems are put in place. So ain't none of these. This being jeopardized. Come on, man. Come on.

[Caller]

Appreciate that, man. Hey, but I just forgot. I ain't. They just took a picture of me. You feel me? I ain't playing none of this.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Tell the truth. You let that attention, though. You like that. That clip. You like that viral, all that attention that it come with? Trust me, I know.

[Caller]

But. But. Yeah. Yeah, but I. I liked it better when I went and cleaned up the next day. I liked it. That picture better. You feel me? I'd rather go viral, but I. That you feel I did something positive.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You feel me?

[Caller]

But it just. It overshadowed what I did for the community years.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Exactly. So that's the lesson you learn. That's the lesson you learn, because you always got to know something. Then I'm gonna let you go. Positivity don't go viral like negativity did.

[Lecrae]

There you go.

[Caller]

Thanks.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So just know that you said a mouthful, then.

[Caller]

[Lecrae]

She gets into somebody that knows I'm.

[DJ Envy]

The home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

[Lecrae]

She be having the latest on the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Lecrae]

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

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[DJ Envy]

So we reported here exclusively that there would be a new filing in Diddy's case because his team is trying to get him home. So yesterday, Diddy team submitted documents to the judge asking for Diddy to be acquitted on both of the man act charges that he was convicted of or to be given a new trial. They're saying that they're still standing on the Rule 29 that they mentioned early on in their defense that there is not enough evidence. There's insufficient evidence to sustain the conviction of the crimes that he was convicted of. So. So what they're saying is that because when you are convicted of the man act, you're supposed to prove that the person transported somebody across state lines for the purposes of sex. They're saying that they believe that Diddy's the only person ever convicted under the statute that didn't actually make money off the prostitution. That's the first thing. The second thing is they say Diddy did not have sex with any of the prostitutes, which we heard on the stand that all the women in the escorts themselves said that he never actually engaged in sexual activity with the escort escorts and that he didn't actually arrange the travel. Now, there were on the stand, they did have conversations about, you know, different audios that were played and, you know, different things where Diddy was saying, hey, book this person to come here, whatever. But because he didn't actually book the travel and transportation himself, they're pointing that out, and they're saying that, you know, the escorts or prostitutes had friendships with Jane and with Cassie, so they were flying in to enjoy their friends, and then they consented to have sex after. So he shouldn't be convicted of these things, and he should be able to get a new trial or come home. So the judge put in a letter saying that the defense has to respond to Diddy even asking to be let go prior to sentencing today.

[Lecrae]

Trouble is easy to get into and hard to get out of. Boy, that just sound complicated. It did, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Basically, they just saying, y' all ain't proved.

[Lecrae]

I don't need it.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, well, did he try and come home? Diddy is trying to.

[Lecrae]

Yeah, there you go.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, yes. Now and other things. Drika and Kevin Gates, they've finally filed for divorce, which confused the heck out of me, because Kevin Gates has openly been another relationship since we've seen him with Drika. But yesterday, rapper Kevin Gates, it was announced that his wife, or estranged wife, now Drika, filed for divorce. Course, now you guys would know that Dra. Or maybe you don't know that she used to met, manage him, that they were together for some years. They were actually married for nine years. Now, in the docs, she lists the date of separation as July 10th. And she's leaning on, you know, the normal thing that everybody says irreconcilable differences as the reason that they split up. They have two minor children, 12 year old and 11 year old. And Drika is seeking joint legal custody and physical. Physical custody of the kids. She's also seeking spousal support. And she checked the box to terminate the court's ability to award spousal support to Kevin Gates. It's unclear at this time, per the documents, if there is a prenup whatsoever. And they were married back in October 2015.

[Just Hilarious]

Wow. I thought they had an open relationship. That's what I thought. Everybody assumed, right?

[DJ Envy]

I assumed that too in the beginning. But then once you stopped seeing them together, I figured that they just weren't together then.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I really didn't. Yeah, I didn't assume that they had an open relationship because they just, you know, I just figured that they just broke up and they just was gonna, you know, just handle the divorce whenever they got to it. I mean. And then it's not just the marriage. Like you said, he was work. She was working for him. So it was. I. I can imagine how hard it is like when you got. You met. You're managing your husband or your wife. You know what I mean? You don't want to be in the marriage anymore, but you still have to manage that person. Yeah, he's been in relationships or whatever.

[Just Hilarious]

That's always difficult. Cause you gotta figure out how does the money work.

[Lecrae]

Right.

[Just Hilarious]

We've seen it with Kevin and Wendy. We've seen it with Mary and her husband can do. And now we see with this, because you just don't get half. You also gotta get a percentage of what you would make. So.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But you got kids and all of that.

[DJ Envy]

But it was also confusing too because when Brittney Renner, who he was just recently with, when she sat down with. I forget which station. Oh, Real 92 LA. She sat down with them at the Media Room BET Awards and I think it was bootleg cab. And she told him that they got married April 1 and divorced May 28.

[Lauren LaRosa]

She talked about Brittany Renner married Kevin.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Just Hilarious]

So they couldn't have if she was still married. Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

There's no way.

[Lecrae]

Listen, she not Muslim no more, is she?

[Morgan]

No, she's not.

[Lecrae]

She sure did.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And then she got.

[Lecrae]

I saw her not dressed up, stuff like that. Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

So can he do this because he's Muslim then? Because aren't they allowed to have multiple wives? As long as you can sustain the.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Lifestyles I don't know much about that, so I don't really have an opinion about it. But I do. I do know that they were together. I didn't know they got married, actually. I just. I just thought they were together. And I knew there was a storyline for the basket for Basketball Wives.

[Lecrae]

I think Laura made that up. She saw it on social media, so she'd repeat.

[DJ Envy]

I watched the interview.

[Lecrae]

But if you legally. Okay, stupid. But if you legally. If you're legally married to somebody in America, you can't marry somebody else legally. That.

[DJ Envy]

If you said it out of her mouth, what am I? Who am I to be like.

[Lecrae]

Don'T tell her nothing. Let her. Bless her. Bless her heart.

[Just Hilarious]

They're like siblings. You said stupid.

[Lecrae]

You call me stupid, but we don't stop.

[DJ Envy]

Maybe it was different in Islam. Like, I. I didn't think was different in Islam.

[Just Hilarious]

That's the latest with Lord, man.

[Lecrae]

No, I mean, I. I get what it is, but not in this country.

[Just Hilarious]

Not here.

[Lecrae]

Not. Not in this country, Lord.

[DJ Envy]

Well, because you can't do that.

[Lecrae]

You can't legally marry.

[DJ Envy]

I got home girls country.

[Lecrae]

You can. You can't marry somebody else, but you.

[Just Hilarious]

Can'T legally marry home girls.

[DJ Envy]

Now, I got home girls that they date.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay, somebody spitting mad game on you right now.

[Lecrae]

You all realize when Lauren get under pressure, she lie. That's why I call her lying. I have friends.

[DJ Envy]

I have friends in Philly. A friend, and she's dating a man right now. And they've had conversations about them being together and being married. But one of the things he said to her is because he's Muslim, he wants the option to have multiple wives. And that's where I got the whole. The financial thing from. She said that to me.

[Lecrae]

But in America, in America, you legally can't have multiple wives. Not legally.

[Just Hilarious]

That is the latest.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So just be niggering, yo. You won't get it.

[Just Hilarious]

All right, get to the mix. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your mornings will never be the same.

[Just Hilarious]

Morning, everybody. It's DHA Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

[Lecrae]

You know, we was talking earlier when Lauren was talking about marriage, right? And, you know, people having multiple wives, and we was telling her that you cannot legally have multiple wives in America. And that's just true. Like, you know, it is not legal to marry multiple people in the U.S. polygamy, or having more than one spouse at the same time is illegal in all 50 states.

[Caller]

Right.

[Lecrae]

I thought. I don't know why I thought Utah you could, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How would you have known that?

[Just Hilarious]

Lawrence says, how do Muslim men do it in Utah?

[Lecrae]

Muslim men don't do it. That's what we trying to tell you. Just because somebody says something, Lauren, doesn't mean that it's actually true. I'm confused.

[Just Hilarious]

He couldn't be married twice before he got a divorce. You can't get married twice.

[Lecrae]

And then there's something called bigamy. Bigamy is the act of marrying someone while already legally married. And that too is illegal. I didn't know the technical term for it, but that's what I was telling her.

[Just Hilarious]

What, some dude told you? Lauren?

[Lecrae]

Something she believed. That's why them Philly dudes used to run through them Delaware chicks. That's why they used to love them dumbass Delaware girls.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, someone just text me and said Islam marriages aren't sanctioned in the US like regular marriages.

[Lecrae]

Okay, what the hell did we just tell her?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

All right, so basically the other marriage, it'd be one wife that's actually on paper and the rest of them not on paper, but they be all saying they married. Y' all have never met a family.

[Lecrae]

What did Jeff tell you? You believe.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Have you ever met a family of multiple wives?

[Lecrae]

Yes.

[Just Hilarious]

They're not really married.

[Lecrae]

They're not really married.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Over here.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, not the Taz's Angels.

[Lecrae]

And by the way, if they are, if they are all married, it's illegal. If you marry more than one woman in America, it is a. It's illegal, period.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You ain't sitting with Frankie Lyman. It you ain't never see why Do Fools Fall in Love.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but that's a movie.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And you out here believing, oh my goodness, that's a movie too.

[Just Hilarious]

Salute to everybody. I went to the play last night to see Outsiders, so salute to the cast. The Outsiders had an amazing time. I couldn't stay after cuz that show kept going. Yes. And I had to get to work this morning.

[Lecrae]

Absolutely.

[Just Hilarious]

So salute to the the cast, the Outsiders. Appreciate you guys for inviting me last night, me and the wife. It was a nice day night, and.

[Lecrae]

I want to salute the cast of the Lion King. I went to go see the Lion King last night with my family and salute to my guy Vince. Vince, you know, you know, bought the kids backstage and let them stand on the stage and show them all the props and everything. So thank you very much, man. Lion King is a very great place. Is it. Is it the. Nah, I'm about to say, is it the one? Is it the longest running?

[Just Hilarious]

I think it's one of the longest.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I thought Wicked was actually one of the longest running.

[Just Hilarious]

I didn't see Wicked like, two, three times. I didn't see Lion King, like, two, three times.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That was out when I was in elementary school, so I know that's been out for a while.

[Lecrae]

Yeah, yeah. Lion came out for a long time. Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Now it's time to get up out of here. You're gonna be in.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm gonna be in Jacksonville, Florida, this Friday and Saturday, y'.

Just hilariousofficial.com. can't wait to see you, Duvo. I wonder if people are allowed to say it and they breath stink. Like, you just imagine walking past somebody saying duvo. Imagine if it's a.

[Lecrae]

You smell that breath, you'd be like, dude, period.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I wonder, yo, if it's like a party happening in. In Duval, man, in. In Jacksonville, and everybody said, is the breath, like, circulating?

[Lecrae]

Well, I see y' all this week.

[Lecrae]

Weekend, man.

[Just Hilarious]

All right, show them, man. You got a positive note.

[Lecrae]

I do. I want to tell my hometown Monks Corner, South Carolina, you know, it's that time of year. School is about to start back. So Next Saturday from 6 to 8pm I'm having my 10th annual back to school drive and fish fry. So, you know, we're gonna have the free backpacks and the school supplies. Next Saturday, 6pm to 8pm we usually do it early in the day, but it's too goddamn hot.

[Caller]

Hot.

[Lecrae]

It's too hot in South Carolina. So we're gonna do it in the evening when it's a little bit cooler. So next Saturday, August 9, 6pm to 8pm at the Berkeley High School bus loop, 406 West Main Street, Monks Corner, South Carolina. My 10th annual Back to school drive and fish fry.

So we see you next Saturday, 6pm to 8pm, Berkeley High School school bus loop. Okay, now the positive note is simply this. Making bad decisions is a part of life. Blaming others for your bad decisions is immature. Grow up and put on some deodorant. Breakfast club, bitches.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay? Have you heard about this. Last year the Green changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. Their fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back and degree Listen. That doesn't happen often.
