Good morning. How you feeling? What's up, Jess? How you feeling, Jess?
Jess Hilarious
What's up? I feel good going into the weekend. Gonna spend the weekend with my kids because this the last weekend I got off until my daughter's birthday weekend, which is August 22nd, so.
DJ Envy
Okay.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, feel good. And it's Friday.
DJ Envy
It is Friday. And this weather's kind of. Kind of an ishy the last couple of days.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know if it's the weather as much as it is that smoke coming.
DJ Envy
That's what took us the wildfires, right? Because all my kids activities have been canceled out outside. It hasn't been. We haven't been able to go outside. I haven't been able to go to the park, the pool, or anything like that, because they're advising everybody to stay inside.
Charlamagne Tha God
So it's crazy that the government could just be doing a whole social experiment on us, a science experiment, and we wouldn't even know. We just accept what they tell us. Oh, it's just smoke from the wildfires in Canada. Meanwhile, we wake up tomorrow, we all elephants.
DJ Envy
That's true.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I'm saying?
DJ Envy
But I've been keeping my ass inside just in case. Cause I really wanted to, you know? I mean, it's. It's summertime, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
Don't matter. Hot outside, but stay inside. But some of that air still gets you, right?
Jess Hilarious
Yeah. Especially if you got air conditioning and.
Charlamagne Tha God
Exactly.
DJ Envy
You're right.
Jess Hilarious
You're right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Y' all thought I was tripping yesterday when I was talking about the Terrigan mist, but the Terragon Mist, if you know all my Marvel heads out there, all my comic book fans, they know what I'm talking about. That Terragon Mist that could turn you into an Inhuman. Which would actually be good, though, because that'd be all that'd give us superpowers. I wrote a comic book for Marvel one time, and I used the Terrigan miss in there. But they're not gonna do that. This ain't no Terragon mist. They already gave us uncontrollable diarrhea. Who knows what this might do?
DJ Envy
Okay, well, let's get to show.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why do you think they wanted to give us uncontrollable diarrhea? You think they collected the waste?
DJ Envy
Well, they just found out where it came from. I'm sure Mimi Will be talking about it. Front page.
Charlamagne Tha God
Is some lettuce from Taco Bell or something.
DJ Envy
Well, it's a distributor that was supplying Taco Bell, and I think the distributor actually had problems a couple of years ago with some bad lettuce before. So it seems like it's coming from that wherever they are preparing that lettuce and distributing that lettuce is where it's coming from.
Charlamagne Tha God
They talking about it's a parasite. No, it's something that y' all spraying on that lettuce.
Jess Hilarious
Okay, I said that. And you was like, no, for real.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, it can be a parasite, but I doubt it. Cause I'm just like, why all of a sudden they giving us something that can give us uncontrollable boo boo?
DJ Envy
That's crazy. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. And my question to that is, when you say uncontrollable, is it when you eat, it just goes, or do you get time to go to the bathroom?
Charlamagne Tha God
I have no idea.
DJ Envy
You know what I mean? I want to know, like, do you have, like, a minute to go to the bathroom, or is this one. It just. Just flows right out?
Charlamagne Tha God
The way they're describing it. They're describing it like, how, you know when you do the prep a day before you get your colonoscopy, you know that prep before that, that day, that day before when you prepping for that colonoscopy, it's you. You gotta stay home.
DJ Envy
You gotta stay home.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's the way they're describing it.
DJ Envy
But it gives you a minute to go to the bath. You can feel it coming on.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, seconds.
Jess Hilarious
Yes, but that's what it is, though. Explosive diarrhea or uncontrollable diarrhea is the same thing. It's like you have seconds to get to the bathroom.
DJ Envy
Well, I don't know.
Jess Hilarious
Every time I got.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know. That's the way it's described.
DJ Envy
Yes, that's.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. I don't know.
DJ Envy
I'm curious. You just walk around the block, oh, oh, oh. And you just. You know what I mean?
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, I'm letting y' all know I have it sometimes. That's exactly what it is. You got. That's a small amount of time.
Co-host/Interviewer
Oh, that's.
Charlamagne Tha God
You got Covid Monkey.
Jess Hilarious
No, no, no, no.
DJ Envy
Her cover bonky. Don't go away, because she always got it.
Charlamagne Tha God
You got Covid twice a week.
Jess Hilarious
No, I don't. I don't have a gallbladder, so I have, like, a little bit of time before I can get to the bathroom or it's on myself. Like, period.
DJ Envy
Like, has it happened before? Have you ever poop?
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, when I've been in the bathroom for these long car rides, like coming from Jersey to Maryland, I haven't eaten breakfast. Yes.
DJ Envy
That's disgusting.
Jess Hilarious
I remember I had to use one of my daughter Pampers real big.
DJ Envy
Really?
Jess Hilarious
Yes. Right on the side of the road.
Caller/Listener
Wow.
Ad Voice
Wow.
DJ Envy
All right, let's get the show cracking.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right.
DJ Envy

So we'll be talking to TK and we're gonna start the show with a world premiere. All right, let's get into it. And don't forget, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Charlamagne Tha God
It's all right. Yeah, it's just all right. I don't feel it, you know?
Caller/Listener
It's all right.
DJ Envy
Okay, let's get in some front page news now. The 2026 FIFA World cup finals. Is Spain in our versus Argentina, of course, is Sunday at 3pm at MetLife Stadium. So if you're in New York City during that time, stay away from MetLife Stadium because it's going to be stupid. Also, NBA. NBA says Adam Silva says, I need LeBron to make a decision. We have to finish up the schedule, and where LeBron plays affects the schedule, opening week, Christmas. So I need him to make a decision, I guess.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. People still watch LeBron. Still box office.
Terence Bud Crawford
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. So, yeah, I can understand that.
Jess Hilarious
How long does he have to make a decision?
Charlamagne Tha God
I have no idea.
Caller/Listener
I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's a question. I still think he's gonna make it at some point this weekend during the FDads festival. He was dodging a lot of the questions yesterday, but he still. He has to do his podcast. What's the name of this Podcast Mind over the Game or something like that.
DJ Envy
Well, he did one with Tyrese Halliburton. He did that.
Charlamagne Tha God
I think that was Tyrese. But he's doing two of his own. He's doing. He's doing his shows. Mind over the Game or whatever it's called. And then the Shop.
DJ Envy
The Shop, Yep. What's up, Mimi?
Mimi
Good morning, everyone. So we start this hour with President Trump's primetime address from the White House, where he once again argued that the 2020 election was stolen from him, even though court records, election officials, and multiple investigations have found no evidence of widespread fraud had changed the outcome. So, one of the biggest claims in the president's speech centered around China. President Trump said China obtained information on voter rolls, calling it one of the biggest election security breaches in history. Let's take a listen.
Co-host/Interviewer
Over a period of years Starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million US voter files. That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote and engage in other nefarious activities, which is exactly what was happening.
Charlamagne Tha God
But wasn't a lot of that stuff already out?
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
You mean
Mimi
a lot of it was already out. And listen, federal officials from both the Republican and the Democratic side, they both have repeatedly said that it found no evidence that voting systems were compromised in the 2020 election. They said that there's no evidence that China altered votes or changed the outcome of the 2020 election at all. And China is also speaking out this morning, rejecting President Trump's allegations, saying that it has never interfered with a US Election. However, the President has announced, he announced during that speech that he's ordered the FBI, the CIA, the Office of National Intelligence, the Justice Department, to investigate what he calls a cover up of China's efforts to influence the 2020 election. He's also calling for government employees that he says withheld information or misled the public to be identified, investigated, and fired. Now, this speech, it also prompted a political backlash from several Democrats and and some Republicans. But California Governor Gavin Newsom is among those calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked. Let's listen.
Charlamagne Tha God
This was a legitimate 25th amendment moment. The ramblings of a mad king, don't get me wrong. Foreign interference in our elections, that's a real thing. Nothing about what you watched tonight, though, was real. It's make believe. He wants to rig the election in 2026. He knows he's going to lose. He needs to rig the election before one vote was cast. That's what that whole thing was about tonight. This is a serious and profound moment. Gavin Newsom is absolutely right, but we know nothing is going to happen. I was looking at it two ways. Right. We know he's trying to rig the election for 2026. R. He's just trying to paint the picture that the elections are going to be rigged by Democrats because he knows that they're going to lose in a landslide. So he's getting, he's trying to steal it or trying to get in front of it. One of the. One, one, one of those two.
Mimi
Yes, yes. He's setting the stage to undermine the upcoming midterm elections just in case. Right. He's, he's going to come back to like, remember that night in July when I told you, you know, this was happening, this was happening. That's exactly what he's doing. The speech, it also drew attention for another reason. Abc, CNN and what I say, NBC, ABC and cnn, they all chose not to air it. And that's, that's the first time in history where, you know, those big, those big stations have decided not to carry a presidential speech.
DJ Envy
That's crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
I thought they did that, though. They've done that to Obama and Biden before as well. Decided not to sound species.
Mimi
Well, it, no, not like this. You know, they, they were, they were concerns about what he was going to say. What kind of, you know, I don't want to say lies, but. Yes, lies. What kind of, what kind of, you know, misinformation that he was going to put out? So what they did was. Yeah, so what he did was they put it on their streaming channels. And so in true Donald Trump fashion, he, he got upset. This is what he said.
Co-host/Interviewer
In a rare move, NBC and ABC Fake News have both said that they would not cover this speech. They knew what it was about because of the fact that they don't like the topic because they know how corrupt our system is and they don't want to reveal it. Fraud like this should mean a revocation of their licenses.
Nyla Simone
Yeah.
Mimi
So basically because they didn't want to air the speech, he said that their license should be pulled. There you have it. So, and that is for 6am One really quick thing. President Trump is headed to New York this weekend for the final match of the FIFA World Cup. So expect there to be lots and lots of traffic. I don't know if people are going, but Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said that he will be there on, I think it's today for a reception at Trump Tower and then he'll be at the game on Sunday.
DJ Envy
So that's going to be ridiculous because they probably going to do extra screening and there's going to. There's going to be. They're expecting, what, 82,000, 83,000 people. And a lot of people are from overseas, so they don't necessarily know the public transportation. So they're parking locally and just walking over the highways. So it's going to be a mess. It's going to be a mess.
Mimi
It's going to be a mess.
Charlamagne Tha God
And one correction, too. I said LeBron James. That was his Mind the Game podcast, Halliburton.
DJ Envy
That was yesterday.
Charlamagne Tha God
You got one more shot for him to reveal where he might be going this weekend when he does the shop.
DJ Envy
Well, that was front page news. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning.
State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)
This is your time to get it off your chest.
DJ Envy
Keep calling 800-585-1051.
Co-host/Interviewer

Caller/Listener

DJ Envy
That's what I would say.
Co-host/Interviewer
That.
DJ Envy
That would be my advice, brother.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's my only advice, too. Love on them. That's what my mom used to always say. Love them. Because the reality is, you know, there is no rule book to any of this. Okay? I can't. I won't be able to tell you how to do this until I'm 70 years old and they grown.
Nyla Simone
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I mean? I gotta. I'm learning something new every single day.
DJ Envy
That's right. Love on them and enjoy the moment, boy.
Caller/Listener
I appreciate it, man. One more thing, man, before I go. So we started a registering all the good stuff. Of course, you know, we. There's an RGP in favor about it. Of course, you know, black people don't follow rules, so we got a little nervous, you know what I'm saying? Just because, you know, we haven't really seen things purchasing like that. So we're a little nervous. So I want to see if I can leave my cash app.
DJ Envy
Yeah, bro.
Caller/Listener
All right. It's Texas Stepper 06. So it's T, E X, A, S S T, e p p a 06.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, and also, don't blame your product not moving on black people. Not following rules, though. Yeah, you, man.
Caller/Listener
That's what it is, man. You already know how it is.
Charlamagne Tha God
You might not be doing a good job promoting and marketing.
Caller/Listener
No, that's not even right. For real. You tell people RP that, say you ought to be there. And look here, man, just please do we ask?
DJ Envy
Well, good luck, brother.
Caller/Listener
Hey, thank you, guys. Appreciate it.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't even know why I came to the defense of black people, because I know you're right.
Caller/Listener
Hello?
TK Kirkland
Who?
Charlamagne Tha God
I like to generalize. I don't like to generalize like that, though. You can't say all black people. Some of these.
DJ Envy
You got Dax from Philly on the phone. Dax, what up?

He runs awa, and so that's the company I put the book out on. So we had a panel at Comic Con. New York Comic Con, last year. Comic Con is huge in New York City. Thousands of comic book lovers show up once a year.
Caller/Listener
Yeah, I tend to. I cover. I'm going. I'm going to be there this year. I cover it for media purposes, but on behalf of my podcast. But I gotta say, man, when I finally got to, you know, you greeted me that day and I learned something about you, basically how grounded you are. I remember seeing you with your handler and she was trying. She was like. She was making you see, she was playing like Secret Service. And you walked off on her because, you know, you were. You were going into the media room where we were going to do the press events, and you walked off on the other side and started just talking to people where she was trying to guard you away from people. And that's when I figured out your character was like, you're a really grounded dude. I really appreciate you, brother.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you, man. I appreciate you, King.
Caller/Listener
Yeah, I'm looking forward to that book, by the way. I've been waiting for the graphic novel to come out.

So lebron James is still saying nothing about what his big decision, where he's going to play. So tyrese Halliburton and LeBron James sat down on Mind the Game podcast. And we had talked with Mike Rubin when he was here about the fact that this big news might break Door fanatics fest because LeBron has a couple, you know, interview moments happening. This is one of them, but he didn't give it to us. Let's take a listen to Tyrese Halliburton trying to get LeBron to reveal some of the information.
Terence Bud Crawford
Number one, I texted Braun maybe a
Charlamagne Tha God
month ago before he even made his
Terence Bud Crawford
decision to leave la. I said, hey, if you want to come to Indiana, we can make some crack. And he texted me back, two laughing, crying faces.
Charlamagne Tha God
And that's all I got. So I decided from then on, I would.
Terence Bud Crawford
I would never, never. I'm done pursuing him in free agency.
Caller/Listener
I don't.
Terence Bud Crawford
I don't know what's gonna happen in Indiana. First of all, I shout out, you
Charlamagne Tha God
know, my former team, I spent eight
Terence Bud Crawford
great years with the Los Angeles Lakers,
Charlamagne Tha God
one of the most historical franchises in the world. Shout out. Jeannie Buss, the whole Buss family. Rob Palinka, everybody, you know, all the coaches that I played for there, all my teammates out. I'm gonna miss them all, obviously. So that was an unbelievable ride, and I'm just looking forward to what holds next as I wind down the final stages of my journey.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. Why doesn't he just say it?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I have no idea why LeBron.
Caller/Listener
I don't know.
Lauren LaRosa
Maybe that was okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's not that serious. Just tell us you're going back to Cleveland and call it a day.
DJ Envy
I mean, it is that serious. Maybe he hasn't made a decision as of yet. Maybe he hasn't got what he wanted. Maybe the pieces that he needs around him. I don't. We don't know what you talking about.
Charlamagne Tha God
There's not one team that they're saying that he may go to that don't have the pieces. Philadelphia 76s, which is not happening. Golden State warriors, which I doubt is happening. Cleveland Cavaliers, they all got pieces, right?
DJ Envy
Who you talk about, but we don't know the reason.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, we do. Because he craves attention, clearly. Oh, my goodness.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I thought maybe because I'm not like a super NBA, like, sports fan, I. I miss it went over my head.
DJ Envy
I think he should have made the announcement already, but I don't know the reason why he hasn't as of yet. Maybe.
Caller/Listener
I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's not like he needs the attention. LeBron James is an icon.
Lauren LaRosa
Exactly.
Charlamagne Tha God
But clearly he. Him and, you know, Clutch and Rich Paul, they like. They like this. They like stirring things up in the media.
DJ Envy
It didn't.
Jess Hilarious
Didn't.
DJ Envy
It didn't end well last time.
Caller/Listener
Right.
DJ Envy
When he did the whole thing with press conference in Miami, people hated him for that.
Charlamagne Tha God
That was so long ago.
DJ Envy
I know, but people didn't like that.
Lauren LaRosa
So they also talked about. I know y'.
Jess Hilarious
All.
Lauren LaRosa
I mentioned. Y' all mentioned earlier this morning about them having a conversation about LeBron holding up the calendar.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
So just talking about time. They were asking him basically about, like, his length of time that he thinks he can play at and what average he can play at. Right. So he talks about averaging 10 points until he's 65.
Terence Bud Crawford
Take a listen how long Kabon play and average 10 points. Probably talk about I can average 10
Charlamagne Tha God
points in a league for.
Terence Bud Crawford
I mean, a long.
DJ Envy
A long time.
Charlamagne Tha God
So what do you think?
Caller/Listener
65 something?
Charlamagne Tha God
65 years? Yeah, I doubt that. Not the way they making these new.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay. Not the.
DJ Envy
I'm trying.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm seeing these little kids. They 7 foot 6 in 8th grade now. Like, they making something different out here.
Jess Hilarious
That's right.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. But basically, we got a bunch of other things than the decision from LeBron so far. Fnatic Spence. But news breaks there.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, we still got one more because I think he's doing the shop. I think I read.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. The day that my grouping was here too. We. And we talked about that in our interview with Mike Ruben. So make sure you guys go and take a listen to that on the Breakfast Club on Netflix. Now, moving on to another interview that happened. So Diddy's twins, uh, Jesse and Delilah, they sat down for interview, uh, with Entertainment Tonight. And actually, this interview, I feel like it was handled well because they do talk about all things, but they're promoting their new clothing line called 1221. But first they talk about why they're even choosing to put themselves out there right now in the midst of all of the press chaos that their family is in the middle of. Let's take a listen. I know you all know that this is the first time that people are really hearing from you since everything that's happened with your father.
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
Is there any fear that you all have with putting yourselves out there? Like you're putting yourselves out there now so publicly at this time? Are you a little afraid of that? No, not at all.
DJ Envy
Not at all.
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
Because people fail to realize that, like, just because he's Our dad doesn't mean, like, his press is his own press. Our press is our own press. Like, people fail to understand that we are also individuals. Like, it's separate. So I don't have any fear. Yeah. Also, I just feel like we've never allowed any of that to, like, stop us. Like, we have to keep going, and it's honestly just made us push and work harder because, you know, we. We're not gonna stop.
Charlamagne Tha God
Great.
Jess Hilarious
I love that.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
And that won't stop twins.
Lauren LaRosa
I know, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
And it's true. What they said is true. They're not their father.
Jess Hilarious
Yes. Yep.
Lauren LaRosa
And. And I want to say, like, you don't really hear from the. The girls much at all. And because they're doing this clothing line and wanting to create their own narrative, they thought that this was the time. And Nichelle Turner, who did the interview with them, actually was a friend of their mom. So I think that, you know, that probably made them a lot more comfortable. Now I have some photos of the clothing brand, and you guys will see. It's like athleisure wear. You can throw it on the go. They have sevens on the brand, like, on the actual clothing, but the clothing is called 1221, the name of the brand. And they talk about why the number seven. Let's take a listen. Talk to me about the sevens.
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
So 777. First of all, we see that number everywhere. We're also seven minutes apart, so that's, like, a really key factor. It was also our mom and our dad's favorite number. I'm seven minutes younger.
Lauren LaRosa
But does she act like the older sister?
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
No, I do. She will deny it. No, I act like the older sister.
Jess Hilarious
So cute. Yes, so cute.
Lauren LaRosa
And then they go into. As we wrap, they go into talking about how Diddy is as a dad in supporting them in this. I take a listen to Diddy talk about. To them talking about Diddy being a black father. How is your relationship with your dad today?
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
It's great.
Lauren LaRosa
Is it good?
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
Yes, it's great. We definitely are very close, and he gives the best advice. Also clothing. He's very, very, like, knowledgeable in that aspect. We ask him all the time, like, can we need help on this? We need help on that. He's always gonna be there, and he's always gonna tell us the right answers.
Lauren LaRosa
So is his spirit still up?
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
Yes, he's been very focused, you know, like, being a better person for his family. He's just always been there for us.
Target Ad Voice
What kind of dad is Sean?
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
He's an Amazing guy. He's the best at. No, you have to be like, I feel like when we were, like, maybe, like, five, not really strict, but. Not strict, but, like, he's a black dad. Yeah, yeah. It's not strict, but it's structure.
Charlamagne Tha God
Sure.
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
Yeah. All of his kids have structured for that because, like, now, like, we're perfect. His strictness, which I wouldn't really say strictness, but, like, has helped us for the better.
Jess Hilarious
Hey, y', all, these so cute. Like some baby Kardashians. They funniest.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. So you can watch that interview on Entertainment Tonight. And they get into kind of what they want their career to look like. They say that they want to become models because you don't have twin black models in the industry right now who. Who can actually walk and do the things and how proud of them their mother would be.
Jess Hilarious
Was their mom a model? Kim was a model.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. Yep. Yes.
Jess Hilarious
Absolutely, yes.
Lauren LaRosa
They talk about, you know, learning to walk from their mom and how, you know, funny it is to see their little sister trying to do the same things now and just what life has been like as they navigate in their world. And their website is live and their brand is live. It's121.com where you can shop all of their, like, luxury street wear. So I'm proud of them for, you know, trying to pave their own way.
DJ Envy
They go support them if you can. There's 1221 apparel on Instagram too.
State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)
So.
Caller/Listener
Yeah, okay.
DJ Envy
Definitely go support them.
Lauren LaRosa
What did they just say?
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm not for sure about, but I saw them talking about the number seven. I didn't.
DJ Envy
Yeah, no, I'm not sure.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I'm not sure about that.
DJ Envy

A little baby dead fresh. Now let's get in some front page news now. The 2026 FIFA World cup finals features Spain and Argentina that Sunday at 3pm at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. I've been trying to get tickets for the longest, but I'm not spending the tickets. Went down a little bit down. Now they 9,000 a ticket. I refuse to spend 9,000 on the ticket. I'm sitting in the nosebleeds. It's not going to happen.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know why you keep saying it every day. You hope somebody said, hey, Envy, I got some tickets. I feel sorry for you. I got a sweet.
DJ Envy
I invite you in.
Charlamagne Tha God
We trying to get tickets, too, damn it.
DJ Envy
And the president, Donald Trump will be at the game, so that's going to be even more traffic. Now Adam Silva from the NBA is asking LeBron James to hurry up and make his decision because they can't make the schedule without him making a decision because they have Christmas games, Thanksgiving games, etc, so they really want LeBron James to make his decision. What's up, Mimi?
Mimi
Good morning, Envy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Tamisha Brown, what's up, girl?
Jess Hilarious
Oh, no, no, no.
Lauren LaRosa
She told us the origin story.
Jess Hilarious
She's her father name is Tim and that's why her mother was so in love and she was like, oh, Tamisha,
Charlamagne Tha God
did she want that on the radio? Yeah.
DJ Envy
I don't know if she wanted that on the radio.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I'm saying?
Jess Hilarious
Sorry. Go ahead.
Mimi
Because my mama is remarried and she is. That is not what I'm saying. Yeah, so it's a whole thing.
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
That's okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
Boy.
Caller/Listener
Boy.
Jess Hilarious
All right.
Mimi
So we start this hour with a new lawsuit that's raising serious questions about the proposed merger between Paramount and Warner Brothers Discovery. So the lawsuit accuses billionaire Larry Ellison and his son David Ellison of making promises to President Trump to help win government approval for the deal. So according to the lawsuit, These promises included $20 million in free advertising, $16 million payment tied to an earlier settlement, and making changes at cnn, including getting rid of anchors that President Trump doesn't like. Now, Paramount, they strongly deny those allegations, saying neither Larry or David Ellison made any deals with the Trump administration or promised any changes at CNN. But the lawsuit, it comes as California and 11 other states are already trying to block the proposed 11,111 billion dollar merger, arguing that it would give the combined company too much control over the entertainment industry. Here's California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
DJ Envy
I'm here to announce a lawsuit that I've filed and that a coalition of 12 states have filed challenging the proposed merger of Paramount, Skydance and Warner Brothers Discovery and asking the court to block the merger from moving forward. This 110 billion dollar proposed merger, the largest merger in Hollywood history would extinguish competition. It would result in higher prices, lower content quality, and fewer movies and TV shows. As our complaint makes clear, this deal is illegal under the Clayton Act. That is a law that has been on the books for over 100 years. It prevents mergers that may substantially lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, well, I'm glad someone is trying to do something because so often with the Trump administration, there's these corrupt, illegal, unethical things that happen and people just talk about it. At least somebody's trying to do something.
Mimi
Yeah. So those are two separate lawsuits happening right now. Paramount says the merger would create, you know, stronger company that's, that's able to compete with streaming giants like Netflix and Disney. But California and other states, they disagree. And now both of those lawsuits will play out in court. So we'll continue to watch that.
Caller/Listener
Good.
Mimi
And now to, you know, the question that we've been asking all week. What was giving so many people, or what is giving so many people explosive diarrhea? And I think we finally have an answer. So health officials have linked shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms to the cycle sporia outbreak. So Taylor Farms is the company that also supplies lettuce to Taco Bell restaurants in the Midwest. And Taco Bell says, though, that they have already removed the lettuce from its restaurants in the states tied to that outbreak. The company says it will no longer use lettuce from that supplier at any of its restaurants nationwide. It also says that new lettuce will arrive at the affected restaurants within the next 24 hours. But so far, 7,000 people have been sick and are still under investigation. More than 140 people have been hospitalized. And health officials say that they're just still looking into other parts of the country because we now know it's tied to, you know, iceberg lettuce and, and Taco Bell. But there's still other cases where it spread. So we know one cause of it and health experts said they're still looking at the other causes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, as good as Taco Bell is, what about all the other things that Taco Bell that cause you diarrhea all these years? These things that Taco Bel have caused your stomach to explode and now they just worried about the lettuce.
Terence Bud Crawford
Has it?
Jess Hilarious
Yes.
DJ Envy
Honestly, I know White Cat, White Castle is the one that usually gives you that.
Jess Hilarious
No, that's how uncontrollable the meat already look like diarrhea.
Terence Bud Crawford
You know what I mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
But it's good though.
Jess Hilarious
And Then, yeah, it go right through you. It's a good, it's a good laxative. It's a good detox.
Mimi
I will say, well, I'm sure Taco Bell would rather, you know, there not be something linked to it, like the lettuce, but the meat, you know, what can you do? That's just, Taco Bell's been known for that. Even in Alaska, it was known to look like that and taste like that.
Nyla Simone
So.
Charlamagne Tha God
And avoiding, avoiding Taco Bell ain't gonna stop you because you might run into that letter someplace else.
Mimi
That's the, that's the exact point I was trying to make. Right, Exactly. And so moving, shifting gears really quickly now to an age old question that sparked plenty of debate. Does size really matter? And before you answer, I'm talking about
Target Ad Voice
girl.
Jess Hilarious
I'm like, come on me, man, My mouth wide open, like, chill out. I was yawning besides, man.
Mimi
And then you stop yawning. Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Mimi
Well, a new study, it says that height can make a huge difference on dating apps. So men who are 6 foot 3, they receive about 60% more messages than men who are about 5 foot 7. They say that nearly half of women on those dating apps, they set their search to filter for men who are 6, 6ft and taller. But here's the catch. They say only about 4% of American men are actually 6ft or taller. So researchers say that's why dating apps can be so tough for shorter men. But they also say once people meet face to face and they, you know, people find them funny. So they're, they're, they have humor, they have confidence, they're kind, and there's a lot of chemistry that, that starts to matter a whole lot, Matter a whole lot more.
Jess Hilarious
That compensates dates for them being short. Me and my husband was just having. Yo. My husband Chris just literally was like, like two weeks ago, he was saying this, this right here. That, not the specific study of like the dating apps, but how women typically go for taller men. Like, and I was like, nah, guys, I mean, women like shorter men. He was like, I have, I don't, I'm not a short man. So I don't, I don't, I can't relate to that.
DJ Envy
But most women don't want no short man.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, most of them don't. But I know women, most men are short.
Mimi
Purposely go, yeah, most men are short.
DJ Envy
I mean, yeah, they are short. But most, most women want a man that's taller.
Charlamagne Tha God
Most men are sure that Mimi just said, what's the statue Mimi of tall men in America.
Mimi
4% of American men are 6ft tall.
Nyla Simone
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
And also remember that taller men die faster than shorter men. Let's keep that in mind, too.
Jess Hilarious
And why do they do that? Charlotte let us know.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, there's studies that suggest shorter individuals outlive tall people by about two to five years because of all type of things, cellular structure and I don't know what else. But these are scientific studies. You should look it up.
Jess Hilarious
Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. Statistical research has shown that taller men, on average, have shorter lifespans than short men. These are facts.
Jess Hilarious
Okay. All right, man.
DJ Envy
Chill out over there. All right.

I feel great. I feel great. You know, I'm. I'm happy where I'm at. I'm living life. I'm traveling, seeing the world. And I couldn't ask for a better life right now.
DJ Envy
People always asking, are you coming back? Do you have that itch at all?
Charlamagne Tha God
Just step down for a second, man.
DJ Envy
I'm just asking. I'm just asking.
Terence Bud Crawford
No, I don't. I don't. You know, I don't have the desire to do anything no more. Not that I can't. It's just. For what? Like, I did everything and then I look back and say, ain't nobody gonna be able to replicate a retirement in a career like I've done.
DJ Envy
So are you still training, though?
Terence Bud Crawford
No, I'm not.
DJ Envy
Yo, so you don't even train?
Terence Bud Crawford
I don't train at all. Like, I work out from time to time, like in the gym. But, like, far as boxing, you don't
DJ Envy
miss it at all?
Co-host/Interviewer
Nah, he did his whole life.
Terence Bud Crawford
Yeah, I've been doing that since I was 7. I think I'm gonna go back to. To the gym, do a little couple of training, you know, here soon, probably a month or two.
Charlamagne Tha God
How does that feel? When you, a person who spent their whole life preparing for fights, did you prepare for retirement the same way?
Terence Bud Crawford
I didn't. I didn't. You know, the Canelo fight, I already knew that was gonna be my last fight, but I never sat down and was like, what I'm doing, how I'm gonna prepare for retirement and things like that. It just was something that God laid on my shoulders, and boom, I just handled it as it came.
Co-host/Interviewer
Yeah, it was dope the way you did the video. But after the Canelo fight, you're saying you already had it in mind that you was gonna be done, but was there a battle, like, a struggle after that fight? Like, man, do I really want to be done? Like, do I have another one in me? Did you have that. That moment?
Terence Bud Crawford
Not at all. Not at all. Because my mind was already made up, so everything else just fell into place.
Co-host/Interviewer
But were there offers? Like the turkey?
Terence Bud Crawford
No, I ain't getting no offers.
Co-host/Interviewer
Nothing for no other fight. So that's B.S. people be saying, oh, he got an offer to fight Canelo on a rematch for X amount of dollars or boots. That's all. Yes.
Terence Bud Crawford
No, we ain't never even had that conversation about rematch with Canelo, Boots, or nobody, anybody else.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's harder preparing your mind emotionally. Emotionally or financially when it comes to retirement?
Terence Bud Crawford
I would say emotionally, financially, that's gonna always be there.
Caller/Listener
That's.
Terence Bud Crawford
That's there every day. But you battling emotions every day, every second. So I say emotion because you still
Charlamagne Tha God
got it, but you still gotta have the money to retire, too.
Terence Bud Crawford
Yeah, for sure.
Mimi
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Terence Bud Crawford
But I've been doing it for 30 years. Money being secure.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Co-host/Interviewer
Not only making money, though, but you people don't know. You. You. You purchase a lot of properties and in different states. So you've been preparing to be financially free for years.
Terence Bud Crawford
Before the expense fight, I told people, like, I don't got a box no more. Like, I do this because I want to do it. You know, y' all do it because y' all have to do it. It's a reason why I can fight one time a year and be comfortable with not fighting because I don't have to do it.
Charlamagne Tha God
It.
Terence Bud Crawford
So after the Spence fight. Yeah, that just catapult me to another level. Then Magimov, then Canelo, and it's like, I really, really don't need to make
Co-host/Interviewer
no more money in the ring.
Terence Bud Crawford
Don't have to have my kids work no more, you know, after the Canelo fight. So that's just blessing and putting in the work before I have to do everything else.
Lauren LaRosa
What were the lessons that you learned on that. The business side of it that made you think like that? Like you're naming your kid's not fighting no more. You don't have to fight. But, like, a lot of people don't get the money, business side of it right. What lesson taught you to get it right?
Terence Bud Crawford
Paying attention to the wealthy people. You know, looking at all my people and all the people that had the world in their hands and was successful and went broken, looking at the things that they did wrong. Just paying attention to history. History always repeat itself if you pay attention. So when you look at all these athletes that had a lot of money and a lot of fame and every. Everything given to them and you see what they did with the money, then you say, dang. And I remember this guy was the man, and he had millions of. Now look at him. I don't want to be like him. I don't want to work my whole life fighting for something and then lose it all, and then everybody be like, man, I remember. I don't want to be that person.
Caller/Listener
You.
Charlamagne Tha God
You seem like you live a very modest life, though.
Terence Bud Crawford
Yeah, for sure. Yeah, for sure.
Charlamagne Tha God
He'll buy a fishing rod before you buy a Bentley or something.
Terence Bud Crawford
Yeah, I ain't never buying up it. I got a Mercedes, you know, I got my. I got my.
Co-host/Interviewer
You build a nice house, a big old house.
Charlamagne Tha God
I've been to spend money on your house.
Terence Bud Crawford
Yeah, yeah, but that's an investment. You know, I look at, you know, a house as an investment.
Co-host/Interviewer
Yeah.
Terence Bud Crawford
I'm not spending no crazy amount of money on a car. Cars and jewelry and unnecessary things. So that's just me.
Co-host/Interviewer
Did you have a mentor, like somebody that, like, gave you the game outside the ring?
Terence Bud Crawford
Yeah, I had a few mentors. You know, when talking to them and them telling me like, hey, save your money, save your money. Like, everybody always preached that.
Co-host/Interviewer
Yeah, but people say that. But then other people say, don't save your money. Put it on the street. Like, invest it in stuff. Because sitting in the back, it ain't gonna work for you.
Terence Bud Crawford
That's still saving your money. That's, you know, you putting your money to work, you're saving your money, it's not wasting it, you're just not going out, just splurging and spending it like it grow on trees. You know, when I was younger, see, I never had a problem with saving my money. You know, I was always the one, oh, he Dusty, Dusty. But I had pocket full of money. I was, I was that, that guy, you know what I mean? And my coach used to always tell me like, man, what you gonna do all that money tomorrow?
DJ Envy
I ain't promised.
Terence Bud Crawford
You need to start spending some of that money. And I started looking at it like, dang, you right, because we don't know what tomorrow holds. So while we all saving, saving, saving, we need to live life a little bit as well. But that don't mean be, you know, stupid with your money, right? You know, be smart, enjoy yourself when you can, but make sure that as much as you spinning, you recouping at the same time. That way you have a balance.
Charlamagne Tha God
I see you spend, you seem to spend a lot of money on experiences.
Terence Bud Crawford
For sure.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, like traveling and stuff.
Terence Bud Crawford
For sure, for sure. You know, I, I spend my money on going to a different country, learning history and learning something and things that don't matter tomorrow, you know, taking my kids out to a different country, they gonna remember that for the rest of their life and they're gonna cherish that. You know, me seeing, you know, something that I would have never thought I'll see in a different country and learning something. Then I come back to the States with a different perspective. I appreciate that more than anything.
DJ Envy
I see you doing the analyst thing. Do you enjoy that?
Terence Bud Crawford
But it's cool, it's cool. I was nervous. I don't know why, but I mean,
DJ Envy
what made you nervous? Because this is what you do. I'm sure you could see it before any other analysts.
Terence Bud Crawford
Yeah, but I don't know, it's just a different lane. Different lane. So I think this next one gonna be better. I felt like I was getting better as we go.
DJ Envy
Do you practice at home? Do you practice, you watch old fights and just act like you're there to make sure you got it or no. Nah, you don't do that.
Terence Bud Crawford
No, I don't.
Charlamagne Tha God
They got mad at you when you was breaking down boots fight the other
Terence Bud Crawford
day though, did they?
TK Kirkland
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know what the commentary, I mean, I heard the commentary, but I didn't understand what made them so upset about it. They said you was hating on.
Terence Bud Crawford
I'm always hating. If I say something I'm hating on on Boots. But it is what it is they gonna say what they gonna say because, you know, they been putting my name with Boots name for years, like, to boost him, you know, so they using my name to catapult him. So, hey, you saw.
Co-host/Interviewer
You saw the clip, I'm pretty sure on online where they was asking him who's easy work? And he said that you were easy work. Did you see that?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Co-host/Interviewer
What. What do you feel when you see something like that?
Terence Bud Crawford
I don't feel nothing. Like I was easy work Than us, you know, his mental.
Target Ad Voice
But you.
Co-host/Interviewer
You gave him his props on the win with Xander, you just the one thing you said, I'm. People don't understand. I'm just 10 steps ahead of you. Yeah, like that. That was a statement. Like, yeah, you. You did your thing, but you still can't f. With me. It was that like a little.
Terence Bud Crawford
Man, listen, man, like I said, I'm retired, and there's no need to keep going back and forth with somebody that I ain't gonna get in the ring with.
Co-host/Interviewer
But is he the face of boxing now?
Terence Bud Crawford
No, Canelo's still the face of Face of box, for sure. Like, I've been dealing with this type of stuff for years. He's just getting a glimpse of it. You know, he. Everybody is on to his. His. His train. I'm gonna say they jumping on his train, you know, but he don't know that those same people is going to be turning against him in a minute
Co-host/Interviewer
like they did you.
Terence Bud Crawford
You know, I mean, and then he's going to be at a point where he's going to be like, dang, I'm talented, but I'm not getting any credit. Oh, well, everything I do, they say, oh, you supposed to do that. Every person I be, they gonna be like, oh, you supposed to be. He's gonna get to that point where he's gonna be like, dang. Then it's going to be another fighter that come along, and they're going to start comparing him to him, and then they're going to start taking all the credit away from him. Now, people gonna. Some people gonna give him credit, you know, but he's gonna deal with the same thing that Floyd dealt with Terence Crawford dealt with Andre Ward Shakur is dealing with right now, and history gonna repeat itself. You know, he's gonna deal with the same things that everybody before him dealt with. And then he gonna have to handle that.
Charlamagne Tha God
What makes somebody the face of boxing?
Terence Bud Crawford
What you generate, you know, Like, I look at Canelo, like, he moves the needle, no matter who he fight, where he fight, you know, and that's, you know, what I would consider the face of boxing. Like, when Floyd came around, like, you knew, like, Floyd was there, like Canelo.
State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)
Yeah.
Terence Bud Crawford
You know, you got to give him his credit.
Charlamagne Tha God
But it's got to be more than that, though, right? Because, I mean, you never moved the needle like that, pay per view wise.
Terence Bud Crawford
Yeah, but when you look at. When you look at me, I wasn't promoted and marketed like them, you know, I didn't have the backing like them, but I had the name. People would say, oh, well, you wasn't a big name and you wasn't. How come I wasn't? Anybody I fought made the highest payday in their career. Anybody that I fought had, well, outside of Canelo had the highest ratings. Even Canelo, this last fight, the highest ratings that he ever had. The highest, you know, views. Oh, man, just all that.
Co-host/Interviewer
I think that's the highest payday Canelo ever got either against you.
Terence Bud Crawford
Like, when you look at it, you just say, okay, well, why he didn't get that with these other guys?
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, to me, that was the fight, right? Like, to me, those are the two faces of boxing.
Terence Bud Crawford
Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
When you all fought. So I. I guess that's why it got to be more than just pay per view sales.
Co-host/Interviewer
Yeah, but you gotta do something in a ring, too. You gotta be.
Charlamagne Tha God
You gotta, like, fight.
Terence Bud Crawford
You gotta have a dance partner. Like, I hate when people, like, try to diminish one fighter to big up another fighter and say, oh, well, this fighter is the one reason why he did all these numbers and why they sold so much. Okay, so if that's the case, why he didn't do that with this guy or this guy, or this guy or this guy? Answer that.
Co-host/Interviewer
That's what I say about Floyd, though. I mean, I. I love Floyd, but people always talk about Floyd is a pay per view king, but every time he did it, he had to have a fighter that came with a whole country. McGregor came with Ireland, you know, Pacquiao came with the Philippines. Canelo came with Mexico. So it wasn't like he. To your point, you. He needed that. All fighters need that other village.
Terence Bud Crawford
You got to. You got to. You know, it's kind of like any sport when you have two powerhouse football teams going head to head. This is going to make the views even more because the. The level of intensity that's going into the. To the game. Same way with basketball. If the Lakers was playing the Celtics in the NBA Finals, it's gonna be massive.
Caller/Listener
Right.
Lauren LaRosa
You know, so for Boots, then, who is that fight then? Like, that would get him to the point where you would even consider him
Terence Bud Crawford
face of boxing, he gonna have to do a lot of work. You know, he, he, he haven't even scratched the surface on becoming the face of boxing. Yeah.
DJ Envy
Now, you mentioned Floyd. Do you think all the stuff that's going on with Floyd hurts his legacy? Because we talk more about finances, the exhibition fights, but nobody necessarily talks about him, his legacy and the wins and all that. What's your thoughts on that?
Terence Bud Crawford
I don't think what he's going through hurt anything because everything that he's going through is speculation. You know, nobody really personally know what he's going through. We see things on social media and then they run with it. They say, oh, well, Floyd is Floyd. That Floyd is Floyd broke? Come on now, Floyd been broke. I just can't see that if a person that was a billionaire is worth 500 million now, oh, he's broke because he's not a billionaire.
DJ Envy
Ain't broke to me.
Terence Bud Crawford
Right. He ain't broke to nobody. You know, a person that can do what he want, when he won't and how you want, it's not broke to me. So I just don't get into that. I don't understand why people, they take a narrative and then they run with it and don't know what's going on.
Co-host/Interviewer
I think because he always leads with money, right? Everything is showing money like he's on. On the court side, you know, pulling out bags of cash. So if that's almost like that's what validates him. And I'm not throwing shot at Floyd's career. He's one of the goats, right in the ring, no doubt. But it seems like he needed that validation from the social media that I have money. So I think that's why it's affecting him more than anything.
Terence Bud Crawford
I think it was just that he just sold people a lifestyle. You know, he sold people a lifestyle to get them in tune with his personal life and the things outside of the ring because people called him boring. So then he made people tune in by taking his lifestyle into perspective of the person that he is. And. And some people hated him for it, and some people criticized him for it, and that's what made him a bigger superstar in the game. Because people like, oh, man, I want to have money like Floyd. I want to Drive these cars. Like Floyd.
Co-host/Interviewer
He sold that lifestyle.
Terence Bud Crawford
He sold the lifestyle.
Co-host/Interviewer
What do you know about Floyd that most people don't know, man?
Terence Bud Crawford
Floyd, a cool dude, you know, like. Like, I appreciate him because, like, he had just hit me up out the blue. How you. How you the family? Nothing, just. Just checking on me.
Co-host/Interviewer
Nothing to do with boxing.
Terence Bud Crawford
Nothing to do with boxing. Like, here, just call me. How you doing? How the family? How the kids? You know how to health? Everything good? All right. Like, I don't want nothing. I'm just checking on your family, you know, like, when I'm in Vegas, he'll be like, come, come. Come to the skate ring. We're gonna be skating. You know, you hear, like, just, oh, sweet chips. You know?
Co-host/Interviewer
So you get upset with people like Barack and myself do fantasy matchups with you and Floyd. Does that bother you?
Terence Bud Crawford
No, because that's just what boxing is.
Caller/Listener
Yeah.
Terence Bud Crawford
You know, people compare Jordan and LeBron, right? I'm pretty sure Jordan get tired of hearing comparisons with him and LeBron, but at the same time, they compare him to somebody before him. So it's gonna happen. It's the sport. I don't get mad, and I'm pretty sure you don't either.
Charlamagne Tha God
Do you ever do that to yourself, though? Like, do you ever hear those conversations and be like, like, damn, what would that fight look like?
Terence Bud Crawford
Of course.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Terence Bud Crawford
Of course. Me as a competitor. Of course.
Charlamagne Tha God
Has he ever beat you in your. In your mind?
Caller/Listener
Oh, me?
Terence Bud Crawford
No. Floyd, no.
Charlamagne Tha God
So you know what that fight would look like if y' all fought?
Terence Bud Crawford
Yeah, for sure. Yeah, definitely. I didn't played it out. I didn't picture it all that.
Charlamagne Tha God
So how would it have gone? How would have it gone? Would it have gone for me to
Terence Bud Crawford
know him
Lauren LaRosa
over here talking about you about to get back in the gym a little bit?
Terence Bud Crawford
No, no, no, Nothing like that. I just. I'm just naturally it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Congrats on your ESP win, too.
DJ Envy
That's right.
Charlamagne Tha God
But once again, I saw folks questioning that. They said that your victory over Canelo was one of the. One of boxing's defining moments. But the debate is whether that one accomplishment should outweigh fighters who competed more often and delivered a stronger overall body of work.
Co-host/Interviewer
Short like who?
TK Kirkland
I don't.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know.
Terence Bud Crawford
There you go. That's just, you know, somebody that's picking up the keyboard and say, let me hate on Terence Crawford. I don't think he should have got this with one fight. Okay, so like I said, who was more deserving because you took what fighter the Final good. What fighter that was lined up against me should have deserved it.
Co-host/Interviewer
I mean, that. That fight is so defining that people will talk about it 20 years from now because of the weight jump and the big fight. So I can't even think. I mean, respect to all the fighters that won big fights last year, but I can't think of anything that's even close. I don't know who's saying that.
Terence Bud Crawford
It's crazy because like I said, I don't think nobody is going to be able to retire in this magnitude. Jumping up two way divisions, beating the guy that was undefeated in his division. No rehydration clause, but undisputed, he had all the belts. Not only that, walking away, winning every award there is. So that's a clean slate from fighter of the year with ESPYs, BWAA, the Ring, just everything. And then to be able to say, all right, y', all, I'm out.
Charlamagne Tha God
I learned my lesson. I only doubted you one time, and that was against Earl. I just. I just thought that you. And I just thought Earl would get the upper hand. But, you know, clearly you changed the trajectory of his whole career. Do you ever think about that?
Terence Bud Crawford
No. But I asked you why, though, remember? When I. When I sit here, I'm just like, why you, like, feel that way? Like, I just felt like. And I told you, I felt like y' all was just going off of what everybody else was saying and not looking at boxing as a whole. You know, he was promoted in a light to where everybody jumped on the bandwagon and everybody followed them and things
Charlamagne Tha God
like that, but definitely saw him more. Yeah, like, I saw him.
Terence Bud Crawford
So people didn't look at the.
Caller/Listener
The.
Terence Bud Crawford
The detail. Like, why do I feel like he's going to beat this guy? People didn't look at it. And I just. All. Every person that I felt that was man enough to tell me, oh, I think he gonna beat you. I'm like, why? Why do you think that? Like, I never get mad over somebody opinion, you know?
DJ Envy
Why is that? Because most people get pissed the F
Terence Bud Crawford
off because everybody got opinion. That's just like, if I play basketball and somebody was like, oh, man, I think such and such team gonna. You was wrong about your opinion. But at the same time, just tell me why. Why did you think that way?
Charlamagne Tha God
Did you think you was gonna win in such, of course, Commanding fashion?
Terence Bud Crawford
Of course.
Charlamagne Tha God
That was different, man. I've been watching boxing a long time. That was a different. That was different, bro.
Terence Bud Crawford
Go to the first 2016. When I first came to the division go to 2016. When I first started talking about it, I, he, the boogeyman. I want to fight the boogeyman. I want to fight the Keith Thurman's and the Danny Garcias. I want to fight all of them. You know, and then when the fight start getting momentum and people start talking about it, it's not going to be a fight that y' all think it is. I've been saying that for years. For years before the accident, before that, when we bet, when he said bet a hundred thousand, I said bet a million. Because I was that much confidence than him that I was gonna, you know, do what I do.
Charlamagne Tha God
I want to ask one more question. Did you retire because there really was nothing else for you to do because you said you knew you was gonna retire after Canelo. And then when you announced retirement, people say, nah, you shouldn't retire yet. But nothing they said really made sense, like, right. Did you really retire? Because you looked at the landscape and you're like, there's nothing else for me
Terence Bud Crawford
to do for sure. If you look at the, the, the. The landscape of boxing, right, you'll say, okay, I'mma ask you who, who would I fought?
Charlamagne Tha God
None of the stuff they said made sense. They're talking about Benavidez. Then I heard that, I heard heavyweight 200. Then I saw the Geneva thing. Then they were saying Boots. Okay, none of that made sense to me. And then the Canelo remake, magical, okay,
Terence Bud Crawford
Canelo, that was off the table. You know, there was no rematch clause. Nobody said anything about Canelo. Still to this day, nobody have said nothing about Canelo.
Co-host/Interviewer
But would you fold him if. If the rematch represented, if it was.
Terence Bud Crawford
If the rematch clause was in the, in the contract, then I would honor that. Okay, Just off of who I am, Boots wasn't nowhere in the, the in the word Rome of us fighting because it just didn't make sense. Janet back, like, what would I get out of fighting Boots?
Charlamagne Tha God
Paying it for it. That's really it. Like, literally, because that's what you need.
Terence Bud Crawford
I always ask people, what would I get? Ain't no champion. Like, what would I get? Like, oh, you brought, you beat the young lion. That's it. That's it. So every fight that I fought since 2014 been for something, Every single fight, either I'm defending my title or I'm going to conquer another division for a title undisputed. Everything after Canelo beat Canelo. And I'm gonna see what they do down here. So then it came out that Janebec was on performance enhancements. So that fight got canceled. I think they stripped him for a title. So it was like, oh, all right.
Co-host/Interviewer
So the only way you would have came back, if everybody would have some one person would have came, became undisputed at 160, and you would have fought one more fight. To be honest, in the fourth division,
Terence Bud Crawford
I'm into making history. Oh, man, this guy come from 135 to 168, then come back down to 160 again.
State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)
Yeah.
Terence Bud Crawford
While coming off the Canelo fight and becoming undisputed. But, yeah, it didn't play out like that. It didn't. So.
DJ Envy
Well, congratulations and enjoy retirement, brother.
Terence Bud Crawford
For sure. That's right.
DJ Envy

State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)
This past weekend, like every other Sunday, you were on the court with the guys, playing ball. Just a pickup game, living out your hoop dreams. No triple doubles, but a mean set of threes in between buckets. One of the homies mentions he closed on a new crib. This is big. And while everyone's asking about the housewarming and making plans to celebrate, you're asking the real questions. Like, has he spoke to his State Farm agent yet about coverage? See, home ownership is one thing, but the right coverage is the real game changer. Even more than your last hot streak is how you protect your legacy. Dropping buckets and bars on the court. A State Farm agent can more than assist you with finding the right coverage for your new place. If you have a claim, your local agent can help you file it. Yep, that's right. Over the phone, in person, online, or on the app, they're ready to help you. And they don't drop the ball, if you know what I mean. Like a good neighbor. State Farm is there.

Charlamagne Tha God
She be having the Latest on Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she has facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything.
DJ Envy
Well, it's the latest brought to you
State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)
by Top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club.
Lauren LaRosa
Always excites you?
Charlamagne Tha God
No, because you got the same hoodie, the brown girl you got on now you got it on in your intro that comes on on Netflix.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. Somebody told me that intro looks like a scene out of the Wire. Why did they say that to me?
Charlamagne Tha God
Looks like.
DJ Envy
Very nice.
Lauren LaRosa
Let's get into the latest though. So this is very scary. Yesterday there was breaking news that there was a man who breached security at the Today show over NBC and was able to get past security to the point where he got into a restricted area. Now, when he. This happened around 9am yesterday, he got in and he was looking for Al Roker. But when he couldn't find Al Roker, he turned his attention to Craig Melvin, who's also one of the hosts there, and he lunged at Craig Melvin and yelled the N word at him.
Charlamagne Tha God
So hold on, because today's show is, like, outside, kind of right outside. Yeah, I've done it before, but I don't remember it being like you just step off the curb and you.
TK Kirkland
Right there.
DJ Envy
No, no, it's unrestricted areas. There's security there. Like, there's barricades there. You just are not supposed to be able to get in that unrestricted area.
Lauren LaRosa
But I also don't know, like, what it. Like exactly what air. Because when you. When you first get. When you get to work, like, if you're walking into somewhere because. Yeah, yeah, but one of the stories I saw said that, like, he walked in as Craig walked in as well, too.
DJ Envy
But it was outside, though. It wasn't the indoor studio.
Lauren LaRosa
That's what I'm saying. Okay. Yeah. All right. But, yeah, regardless. So whether it's indoor, outdoor, to me, I'm thinking all of those security, like, people that are there and employees and the people that you see, you know who you see every day, police officers,
DJ Envy
they have undercovers there, all that.
Lauren LaRosa
Like, it's kind of crazy that he got through. Yeah. So that went down yesterday.
DJ Envy
Relax.
Lauren LaRosa
I don't know how, though. When you're, like, outside with all the people.
DJ Envy
The problem is, if something doesn't happen for so long, you. You just. You don't stay on your P's and Q's and security doesn't stay on their P's and Q's, and then something happens like this.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's why you gotta have a. I wish a mother effort would type security.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, yeah. Well, literally 15 minutes after this incident all went down, Craig Melvin and Al Roker were on air. But at that time, they hadn't hinted about anything that was going on. They just continued to do their job. But there was heavy police presence after, of course, and people were demanding answers. The staff people wanted to know what was going on. The guy was arrested after. And now people are looking into, like, his rap sheet and different things that he have in his back, has in his background and saying that he has a criminal past or whatever. But I don't know, that's just scary in general.
DJ Envy
It is scary. And that's why I'm so. I'm so serious about security up here. It's happened. I say about maybe 10 years ago, it happened up here. Well, an old studio where somebody actually got upstairs in the studio.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. I still don't know how that happened.
DJ Envy
Like, he got upstairs, came in the
Charlamagne Tha God
studio, started talking to me about his mom, mama.
DJ Envy
He said, yes, his mom. He said his mama didn't like you,
Charlamagne Tha God
so my mama don't like you, man. I'm like, who the hell are you?
Jess Hilarious
Damn.
DJ Envy
And that's how we even found out. But he got all the way upstairs into the studio.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Now, I want to clarify real quick. They say that he entered the building from the plaza. So he was in the Today Plaza where they are, and then he go. Went into the building.
DJ Envy
That's scary.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
My guy, Craig Melvin, man, I checked on him yesterday. He's. He said he was a little rattled, but he good.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. Just glad everybody's okay. That could have went really, really bad.
Caller/Listener
That.
Lauren LaRosa
Now shifting gears a bit. So this is starting to go viral. I saw people using our interview with this as well, too. So we're gonna talk about it. Dame Dash. So Dame Dash's daughter, Ava Dash, you know, she's on that Next Gen New York City show with Riley Burris, who's the daughter of Candy Burris. And on the show a few weeks ago, she decided to address, uh, the eviction conversation that we had with Dame Dash here. Let's take a listen to Ava Dash. I have so much negativity being spread
Mimi
about myself and my family.
Lauren LaRosa
When you search my name, the first thing that pops up is Ava Dash.
Target Ad Voice
Evicted.
Mimi
I don't need my friends.
Lauren LaRosa
Also adding to that, the reality is I had an apartment. I shared it with my dad, split the rent.
Mimi
I was on time, paying my rent.
Lauren LaRosa
My dad, not so much. I don't need to, like, release a
Mimi
statement and say, hey, guys, I wasn't
Lauren LaRosa
the one that made us get this eviction notice. Yeah. So that. That was her in a confessional on the show. Now, I've seen other report interviews that she's done on this where she said that, like, she decided to address it because, like, I mean, it's, it's there. There's no way that she can get around it. And she had let her dad know that she was going to be doing it. So she let Ding Dash know she was going to be addressing it.
Jess Hilarious
But that in Rent with my dad. But my dad ain't Paying his end of it.
Caller/Listener
Damn.
Jess Hilarious
That's crazy.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, it was a. An apartment that she was living in Tribeca. It was like close to $10,000 a month. Yeah, they were like at least $40,000 behind when the landlord went to a court and got a notice. Now, Dame Dash talked about it here when he was on the Breakfast Club. Let's take a listen. The thing with your daughter and the eviction, she never got evicted. So why did the son report that? What. Where does that stem from?
Charlamagne Tha God
So what happened was she was out
DJ Envy
of town or some. Well, no, no.
Charlamagne Tha God
So she was. She had.
DJ Envy
She was sending the money to someone to send the money and it wasn't going.
Charlamagne Tha God
And she didn't know she was out of town now. So I think they were gonna. They. When she found out, she. She just paid it. So it got paid.
DJ Envy
So she never got evicted ever in life.
Charlamagne Tha God
Ever? Never. That's another one of those false things that they say, like somebody might see something, but it doesn't follow through. She never got evicted. What they should have said was she lived.
Nyla Simone
She.
Charlamagne Tha God
She at that age lived in a three bedroom house in an apartment in Tribeca that, you know, like, like a rich kid, like, like a Nepo baby, because her mother has 100 million dollar company, Rachel Roy, which I started, put my $8 million in, and now she owns it.
Jess Hilarious
So she never got evicted. They got evicted.
Lauren LaRosa
No, what happened. What happened was they received the notice. The notice that they received was if you do not vacate the location listed above within 14 days after the date of this notice, you may be evicted without. Without further notice. And when they. The one of the first seasons, like our first episodes of the season, they teased this eviction letter, but you couldn't see all the names. So people thought that this was going to be a storyline and eventually it became one. They paid the money up before she was evicted, so technically she didn't get evicted. She received the notice, though.
Mimi
She.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay, they caught the money up basically, is what they're talking.
DJ Envy
So she never got evicted.
Caller/Listener
They.
DJ Envy
They caught up to what was old. Yeah, but she's saying that her father didn't pay the half he was supposed to have. That he was supposed to pay.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, she said it was Dame Dash's fault.
Jess Hilarious
Did he say anything back to this?
Lauren LaRosa
No, I haven't seen anything yet. No, he has reposted her. Talking about the fact that she talked about it on the storyline, though, because he proposed everything. But. But. Yeah. Yeah. So that's the latest for the hour, guys. And it's brought to you by Top dog law.
Charlamagne Tha God
Of course it is.
Lauren LaRosa
Any accident, big or small, call Top dog Law.
DJ Envy
All right, well, it happens, right?
Jess Hilarious
That's crazy. My father would never.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm sorry.
Jess Hilarious
Like, I mean, like, first of all, I'm not my father not gonna ever split no rent with me. Like, but that's just my father. I don't know about anybody else father, like, he not going to split rent with me. And if we do, it would be, it would be me. It's supposed to be the kid that, that come up delinquent, not, you know what I'm saying? Not the dad, you know, not, not the millionaire dad with the, with the businesses. And come on, man.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm trying to figure out the split too, because she had other roommates as well.
Jess Hilarious
She said, oh, no, I thought it was. They split it.
Lauren LaRosa
Like when this was reported, they were. The landlord said that there were three other people that she was living in the house with. And he says it is a multiple bedroom house house. So I'm trying to figure out the split and if it split all those ways. Look, things. People go through things. Because this was during that time too, when all that bankruptcy conversation was happening with him. So I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
But y' all should just learn to send people healing energy.
Terence Bud Crawford
Okay?
Lauren LaRosa
Yes.
Jess Hilarious
No, they healed. They not evicted. They good.
DJ Envy

DJ Envy
It's not true.
Target Ad Voice
He.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's. He's a Gay pride advocate. I'm the mental health advocate. So I promote mental health. He promotes gay pride. Oh, but what's wrong.
Caller/Listener
But still, what. What's wrong is nothing wrong with it. But I'm saying promoting that more than mental health is kind of crazy.
Jess Hilarious
And he ain't even gay.
Charlamagne Tha God
First of all, let's be. And let's be clear about something. There's no promotion of mental health on this show. Mental health, being mental, mentally healthy is a way of life for me. Okay? That's. That's. That's. That's my life's work. That's what I do.
DJ Envy
Correct.
Caller/Listener
All right. Well, you should. Well, you should have told him. Promoted a little more as well.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, being pro. Being proud of who you are is part of being emotionally and mentally healthy, sir.
Caller/Listener
Yes, it is, but it's still. He should have promoted that way and still promoted Pride as well.
Charlamagne Tha God
I feel you, bro. I feel you just did it.
Caller/Listener
You know what I'm saying? And then you. Charlotte. I. I forgot what her name is. I think it was Kamika, something like that. And she. She's an artist. I listened to her song. She's dope. But you was. You were shooting down. What's his name? Leon Thomas, with the Mutt song.
Charlamagne Tha God
Leon Thomas I love much.
Nyla Simone
I don't.
Caller/Listener
I don't think her song was better than his song.
Charlamagne Tha God
I like Leon Thomas Mu. I ain't never shot down Leon Thomas much.
Caller/Listener
Yes, you did it. Yes, you did. Go back and listen to it. It was her birthday, and you. And you said it at that moment in that time. You said his song was bland, and then you said, wait, her song was weight.
Charlamagne Tha God
You never said Leon Thomas Mutt was bland. Never likely on Thomas Mutt. It's very tough.
Caller/Listener
I do, too. But wait, but you. Probably because it was her birthday, you know, you big dog.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I don't even know what you're talking about.
Caller/Listener
I think. I think that was crazy as well.
DJ Envy
I think the wrong show because we talk about Mutt all the time.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I want to tell you something, too. You talked about mental health. October 10, 2026. I do my Mental Wealth Expo at the Joe and Diane Bloom Wellness and Event center in Newark New Jersey. You can go to mentalwealth alliance.com to register to be there. It's a free event.

I'm from Harlem. What's up, Charlemagne?
Charlamagne Tha God
Peace. Candace. Who you want to get a biggest he heart to?
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, man, the d. I gotta go to my supervisor, ar.
Caller/Listener

So I give that to everybody today. Make sure you being peaceful no matter who's around you. It's important receive that today.

Caller/Listener
Oh, y' all already know, baby.
Lauren LaRosa
And I want to give a shout out to the whole team, my whole family.
Caller/Listener
Xavier, Carlton, you need Charlotte, Jamie, breathe, Marielle. My whole. Like, it's so many other people, but I just want to show mad love. Y' all deserve that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, Candace don't even care about that little job she got. That's just something she do. Oh, no.
Caller/Listener
I'm bigger than that, baby.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm flying high.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, talk that talk.
Lauren LaRosa
You already know, baby.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, Candace. Peace.
Nyla Simone
All right.
Caller/Listener
I appreciate the opportunity. Y' all take care.
Charlamagne Tha God
Absolutely. Let's take one more, man. Good morning. Who's this?
Caller/Listener
This? This is Kevin Hart.
Charlamagne Tha God
Kevin Hart?
Caller/Listener
Not Kevin Hart. Different Kevin Hart.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. Who you want to get a biggest? He all to Kevin.
Caller/Listener
So I got two people. One, I want to give the Breakfast Club the biggest. He all for keeping me on hold for 90 minutes, never coming back.
Charlamagne Tha God
We got millions of people calling like. Like, Literally, like, you got. You got to think. We're on the radio, nationally syndicated in 100 markets now we in Netflix in 100 plus countries. So it's like, you know, it's a lot of people calling brother live. And we're live.
Ad Voice
I get it.
Caller/Listener
I get it. And I appreciate the fact that you expanded the second donkey. I want to give the friends and supporters your personal brand and activities when things are easy. For instance, I just started a movement called Friends Turn Family. And while it was in its early stages, I was giving away merch, and everyone supported me. But as soon as I developed my website selling merch and no support or low support. So I just want to get a bigger seal to those people out there who say they support you when it's easy, but it gets a little harder when, you know, when you put a little tag on it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Absolutely.
Ad Voice
I mean that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Honestly, that's real support. Like, if I always tell people, man, if you can't sell something to somebody, you know, then. Then it's not real support. It's easy to support somebody when it costs you nothing but your time. But time is a lot, too. But when somebody actually. When you actually got to put a dollar amount on something, that's. That's a different level of support.
Caller/Listener
Support. Nah, you're. That's right.
Lauren LaRosa
So.
Caller/Listener
But look, the new movement real quick, it's called Turn family, period on IG, and it's. And the website is friendsturnfamily.com and again, it's just a movement to acknowledge friendships that turn into family ships and. And the sort of combat mental health crises and loneliness in the world today.
Charlamagne Tha God
Absolutely. Well, thank you, my brother. All right. That's the people's donkey. We do that every Friday. You can call up 1-800-585-10511 and give somebody the biggest he haw. Or you can go to, you know, the iHeartRadio app and go to Breakfast Club and go to our Talk Back feature, and you can leave a message. I'm sure that there's so many messages on there that we don't never check.
DJ Envy
All right, well, when we come back, comedian TK Kirkland will be joining us. We're gonna talk to him next, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lorna Rules is here as well. We got a special guest in the
Charlamagne Tha God
building, one of my OGs.
TK Kirkland
The other. Good to see y', all, man. Hello, love.
Caller/Listener
How are You.
Lauren LaRosa
Thank you for the flowers.
TK Kirkland
I'm doing good, sweetheart.
Jess Hilarious
You're welcome.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's talk about lot patrol, though. Who are you playing on lot?
TK Kirkland
I'm playing a young man named Mr. Cox. And I would describe it. I know. Everybody start laughing. So listen, listen. I took it as me playing the role like Ari Gold from Entourage, because I'm the boss of the lot lot. And I have all these security guards just really doing all these shenanigans. But every comic who come on here or any interview will say is their TV show. That's the great thing about. That's the funny thing about comedian. A comedian's gonna say, yeah, go watch my show. But it's all of our shows, and it's just a great situation, especially for me, because I never really cared about TV or doing movies back in the day. You know, I've always, like, let me go get the money, because that was real for me and being on the road, and it paid off at my
Lauren LaRosa
age, trending things with you. So I was watching your interview on Club Shay Shay.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Lauren LaRosa
The headline that they put, and you just mentioned your reputation. The headline that they put is TK Kirkland talks about when he robbed Diddy, which we know is like this old story about.
TK Kirkland
It's an old story.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. So why do. When you go to places like, why talk about stuff like that then? If you. You just mentioned you didn't want to talk about the protective people with Charlotte.
TK Kirkland
That's true. And it's always a time to start.
Caller/Listener
Start.
TK Kirkland
So we're gonna start now. We're not gonna talk about it.
Lauren LaRosa
Don't do us. Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's a big platform, and that was your first.
TK Kirkland
And it was first time on there. Yeah, I've been here a hundred times.
Lauren LaRosa
I was just wondering, because when. When he mentioned the protecting people thing, I was like, oh, he don't really want to go into that stuff. But then when I watched that interview, I was like, why?
TK Kirkland
Yeah, I think it was because of that. And he brought it up, and it caught me slipping. But I. If you ever noticed my interviews, I never allow anybody to get me caught up in me messiness.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
TK Kirkland
I always pivot out of the messiness. And now that things have truly changed even more. There's certain things I probably won't ever talk about ever again. Have, you know.
Lauren LaRosa
You know, have you had to learn to navigate those type of things because business was. Was messing up for you too, when certain.
TK Kirkland
No, no, no, no. I've always been. Money guys here tell you, I was. I Was I always got the bread. The thing it with me is, as you get older, you just to want. Want to be respected. Yeah, it is. Yeah. The goal is respecting is about relationships. And, you know, you get to be my age, you just want good things to happen. Good things are happening.
Charlamagne Tha God
Have you seen the new Netflix show called the Polygamous?
TK Kirkland
I started to watch it, and I. I didn't like the actor.
Lauren LaRosa
Which one?
TK Kirkland
The. The guy that's doing all the sex stuff and cheating.
Lauren LaRosa
I started, and it triggered me. I had to turn it off.
TK Kirkland
Yeah, Yeah. I don't think he was smooth enough to pull that off.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, because it's based. It's based in Africa about a man seeking out wealthy women and marrying them and he got a bunch of wives. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are your thoughts on just that premise, though? Just on polygamy in that way? It happens.
TK Kirkland
Yeah. You know, depends on how good you
Charlamagne Tha God
are to get away with it.
TK Kirkland
And do I recommend I just believe men just stay safe. I know you guys are married. Half the world is married. And I'm happy for y' all because I know when y' all was young and y' all was out there doing what I used to do do you know, and. And how you got settled down and got a family and, you know. Why are you laughing? Because Charlemagne was something else. Charlamagne was something else when he was young.
Target Ad Voice
I see what you're doing here.
Lauren LaRosa
You get him back.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I do remember TK Used to say in the set, TK Used to say, you don't want no girl that don't ask you for nothing.
TK Kirkland
No, no. You want to find somebody that don't need to be taken care of and then take care of them.
Charlamagne Tha God
There you go. Okay. Why can't she.
Lauren LaRosa
What's wrong with girls that actually you for stuff.
Charlamagne Tha God
Expound on that. So.
TK Kirkland
So here's the thing about what women don't understand. Young girls like you just don't get it. It's. It's psychology. Even when it comes to men, a man wants to feel that he wants to help you. But as you get older and you understand life, we. We all have bills. So if I meet you and you are another bill, the goal in life is to get rid of your bills every month. Like what?
Charlamagne Tha God
Like you.
TK Kirkland
You a bill, you know, and just because you, like, would you. Would you text me, you call, you have sex with me, I suppose, to continue paying your bills. My thing is, your parents sent you into the world unprepared. And when men wake up and they understand bothers them because they want someone who's thoughtful, who's considerate, who's not complaining all the time. And some our women just don't get it. They'll go back and forth off in conversation. And some guys stay in it, you know? But when they ask me, I tell them to leave.
Lauren LaRosa
You said they'll go back and forth in conversation.
TK Kirkland
They'll stay in the relationship. I believe. Break it off. I believe you protect your piece at all costs. Break it all and meet somebody new.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, when the girl's asking for things,
TK Kirkland
even not enough, she asks because she's complaining, giving this out of your heart. If you feeling someone and you really feeling her and she's thankful you like, you know, I'll get you flowers. You know what I'm saying? But if you don't text and say thank you. A call.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
TK Kirkland
Oh, okay. I'm glad you let me off the hook, because I see that you wasn't raised right. Because a man to me, a man wants a phone call. If I get you flowers, call me and say, oh, my God, thank you. I don't care if you marry. I buy a woman flowers. That's married. But you can't make a married call.
Caller/Listener
Me.
TK Kirkland
I need a phone call.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know why he making sense? Because. What? Some women have such a sense of entitlement.
TK Kirkland
There you go.
Charlamagne Tha God
They expect things. Yeah, that's. But you don't. I don't have to get you no flowers.
Lauren LaRosa
Do you have daughters?
TK Kirkland
TK I have daughters. Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
Daughter, too. Okay. All y' all have daughters. So what do you guys teach your daughters about the entitlement Where Entitlement. Sometimes it's a boundary that women set up to make sure that they're not getting less than they deserve. How do you guys teach them to navigate that?
TK Kirkland
So here's what you're saying. You're talking about parents that don't raise their kids.
Lauren LaRosa
No, I'm asking.
TK Kirkland
No, you guys, you paid. No. Men who raise their children, their daughters don't go around thinking like that because we take care of our children.
DJ Envy
Ask what her father said.
Lauren LaRosa
Shut up.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's boy. TK Shut up. When he Right, he writes.
TK Kirkland
Yeah. See, when. When. When. When a father don't take care of his daughters, that's the results that you get is what Entitlement. You feel like you supposed to get certain things. But when a man takes care of his daughters, she's not looking for nothing. For man.
Charlamagne Tha God
She.
TK Kirkland
Cause she got a dad. She'll never come to another man and expect anything because all Our lives. We took care of our daughters so much that they don't even process that thinking.
Charlamagne Tha God
And don't let daddy have be touching some paper. Daddy said we touching some paper.
TK Kirkland
Exactly.
Caller/Listener
Yeah.
TK Kirkland
Daughters don't. Daughters who've been raised by good dads. That ain't coming out their mouth though.
Lauren LaRosa
So my question then is what I was trying to ask is.
Charlamagne Tha God
You asked what you wanted.
Lauren LaRosa
No.
Charlamagne Tha God
Does it go to we?
State Farm Agent (Ad Voice)
No.
Lauren LaRosa
What I was trying to ask is because you guys are like that, what are you doing and what are your teachings like? What should the girls who are the opposite be learning from your daughters?
TK Kirkland
They can't learn from us. This is. Everything starts in the home. We could sit here and explain this all day. It's already in the DNA because of their parents. This is the reason why we have the confusion that we have out here in this country. Everybody has a platform to give knowledge and gain. Nobody's paying attention. Your mother, your father has to teach you this. They don't say thank you and they don't open the door when women feel or using profanity and talking any kind of way. A real man, when he see that you, you don't want to deal with that.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what's interesting? Lauren don't curse a lot.
TK Kirkland
And Lauren's a nice young lady.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know how you are in relationships, but she is very. She has a lot of gratitude.
TK Kirkland
No, she's. I could tell about her personality. I watch you on this thing a lot.
Lauren LaRosa
Thanks.
TK Kirkland
Very nice woman. And it comes across on the screen.
DJ Envy
Now Lauren's a good person.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, we know how she is. We don't know how she is in relationships though. That's true.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm the same way in relationships until it gets to a point where I
DJ Envy
shouldn't be N. She cares. She rides.
Jess Hilarious
She's a.
TK Kirkland
You ever take your man shopping?
Lauren LaRosa
I love taking care of my man. If he's taking care.
TK Kirkland
Here's the thing about it.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's all. So you take him too, because he a husky.
Lauren LaRosa
First of all, stop playing with my man. That is a grown ass six beautiful chocolate man. But if. If I am in a relationship that I feel like he's treating me great, I have no. Like, that's what. Like, that's bare minimum.
Caller/Listener
Okay.
Lauren LaRosa
Because it's not about financial things either.
TK Kirkland
You can get him a card and put it under the pillow. He will swear you bought him a Bentley.
Lauren LaRosa
He'd be going crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's.
TK Kirkland
That's how little things to men are. And I always tell gentlemen to wear pajamas around the house. I think pajamas give a edge to youth, for youth to practice mentally about success. It makes you feel a certain way.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's some rich man pajamas?
TK Kirkland
It don't have to be expensive. As long as the material feels good on you.
Lauren LaRosa
You gotta know what material.
TK Kirkland
And I'm not saying wear pajamas to bed as a presentation walk through you, especially men who have horrible bodies. If you got a horrible body, you should wear a robe and pajama. You got, like, your feet are horrible. Like, your nails is yellow. You got crack ink on heels, slippers. Because your woman will find you attractive.
Lauren LaRosa
What about women? Because y' all love women in certain type of pajamas.
TK Kirkland
No, women have fallen off bad.
Lauren LaRosa
They've been talking about that.
TK Kirkland
Y' all come to bed looking any kind of way. And I always say, when you're in relationship, you got to be prepared for lovemaking 24 7. You got to always take a shower. You got to always take your wig. And women should take their wigs off and eyelashes at least once a month so they man can know who they are. Because as you get older, things happen.
Lauren LaRosa
So you can fall down.
TK Kirkland
No, you can fall down the stairs. You could be in a car accident. And if that man comes to the hospital, you'd say, doc, my wife is here. Where is she?
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, she's in 14B.
TK Kirkland
And you walk in like, doc, I
DJ Envy
thought you said my wife was here.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's her right there. Baby, put the wig back on. I ain't recognized you.
Lauren LaRosa
Ain't no woman taking her wig off around you.
TK Kirkland
You.
Lauren LaRosa
You got too many jokes.
TK Kirkland
But that's my point.
Charlamagne Tha God
Am I right or wrong?
TK Kirkland
That's wrong.
Charlamagne Tha God
Have you done. You did 85 South show, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You never did Poor Minds podcast?
Lauren LaRosa
You should do Poor Minds.
TK Kirkland
No, no, I don't think so.
Charlamagne Tha God
You should do poor. She under. They under the 85 south umbrella.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay, so they recently did Club Shay Shay, and they talked about a couple things. First thing was they were talking about, okay, splitting the bill or growing with someone.
Charlamagne Tha God
They said, women not splitting the bill. Yeah, that was the conversation about.
TK Kirkland
So here's what I been doing. For years, I've been telling men then before they even start dating, to have the money together, stay low key, flex occasionally. Meaning you stay low key, get your money up, you work hard, and as you grow together, you pick two, three times a year when you can flex, right? You can flex, put in your MasterCard, American Express, and you pay that bill later on. It depends on the female that you with some Girls will don't mind paying half. Some women don't even mind picking up.
Charlamagne Tha God
I had a beautiful lady who tried
TK Kirkland
to pick me up on the date. I said, you ain't picking me up because that's the kind of guy I am. And even when we leave the restaurant, you ain't dropping me off unless you staying with me because I'm not the female. I take that very seriously. But I tell men, get their money up and always go out with someone that you like because, you know, it's a horrible feeling to take someone to a good restaurant and you don't like her. I'm not trying to say have sex with anything of that nature. I mean, you just don't like her eating good and drinking good and you looking at it. I remember in. In the 90s, Houston, so I hear on Park Avenue, this one texting and all that stuff started coming out. You know, that's how long I've been around.
Charlamagne Tha God
And what if the woman ask you out and she got paper? Like, a lot of people, probably more people I've had that.
TK Kirkland
I. I actually had a woman really pay me a thousand dollars a month.
Charlamagne Tha God
True story.
TK Kirkland
What you was doing, she just loved me that much.
Lauren LaRosa
But, like, what were you like?
TK Kirkland
I wasn't doing nothing. She just loved me. Like, sometimes she would send me money, cash app, just say, buy lunch and all that kind of stuff. But it got to a point I. I had to stop it because I felt like the female. I. I felt like I didn't want to get bored. You know what I mean? So I was always taught with a female gives you money you hung out with a few times. My mom always said, don't ever give it back. That's for your time. My mom gave me that game. My mom said, that's for your time.
Lauren LaRosa
And then y' all be mad at them.
TK Kirkland
Say that one more time.
Lauren LaRosa
The girls with the dads be saying that, too. And then y' all be mad.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, no, no, no.
Lauren LaRosa
I told you, when the girls were out, the dads.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh.
Lauren LaRosa
First of all, and I'm the complete opposite of what y' all think. Like, I'm not just out here like, give me, give me, give me.
TK Kirkland
No, we know you're not like that.
Lauren LaRosa
They don't know.
TK Kirkland
They don't know, baby, trust me, I'm looking at you.
Charlamagne Tha God
If I.
TK Kirkland
If I was a little younger, I try to holl at you, you know what I mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
And also, I seen her a few years ago, and she ain't had no paper, so I know she wasn't asking nobody for no.
DJ Envy
Right, right, right, right. You try say you run down.
Charlamagne Tha God
I didn't say all that.
Lauren LaRosa
Really be playing with me.
Charlamagne Tha God

Nyla Simone
Had a great yo. Had a great time.
Mimi

Lauren LaRosa
Never Seen him time in my life.
Nyla Simone
Not going to lie, it was dope. And I'm not even a whole Venus. You saw my tweet.
Lauren LaRosa
I reposted you.
Nyla Simone
I'm not even a Hov venger. You know, I'm not a part of the fan base, but Hope Chella was really a once in a lifetime, like, opportunity. It was like a really big family reunion. And just to see black excellence on such a high level from the family dynamic, like, the first day to me was the best day. Friday, did you see any of the others? Oh, you had booking. You flew out.
DJ Envy
Yeah, Nah, I actually seen it on stream. Shout out to It's Biscuit. He streamed it both nights, so I got a chance to see it. But you know what? Just on the D Nice was supposed to do a show in Virginia that Saturday, but canceled because he had to do hov, so they had to hire me to do it. Oh, amazing. I had a great time, appreciated it, and I got D Nice's ticket, so it was amazing.
Nyla Simone
That's hilarious.
DJ Envy
It was great.
Nyla Simone
That worked out.
DJ Envy
Had a wonderful time.
Nyla Simone
Well, what did you think? Comparing 1, 2, and 3, I felt
DJ Envy
there was the crowd reaction was bigger on Saturday and Sunday than Friday, but I felt like the energy was more my energy on Friday because it was the first album. It was music that I knew, but. But just listening to the energy, it seemed like when Hov was rapping Saturday, they were just rapping with him.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. They knew the record.
DJ Envy
Yeah. On Friday, it wasn't as much like that, but it still felt great.
Nyla Simone
That's true. I think the first night, the storytelling was just elite. Yeah. Like you said, it being his first project, but then being able to have your wife lead the night, your daughter playing the piano, that was so sweet, man. Speechless. Honestly, that was dope.
DJ Envy
I had a good time.
Nyla Simone
Shout out to Jay Z, Roc Nation. Nation and that whole crew.

Tough.
Charlamagne Tha God
Who is that again?
Nyla Simone
Rome Street.
TK Kirkland
All right.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's tough.
Nyla Simone
Yeah. I'm surprised you're not tapped in with him already.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know who. Wrong Street.
Nyla Simone
He's with Mass Appeal. He does a lot of stuff with, like, the Grizzlies and crew.
Caller/Listener
But where's he from?
Nyla Simone
I want to say upstate. Don't quote me on that.
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
Okay.
DJ Envy
It says born in London. London, but from Queens. He's from Queens. The reason he said the reason I thought Queens, because he said Jamaica states. Most people don't know where Jamaica states is. So when he said Jamaica states, that made me think. Think Queens. Jamaica State is Queens. Where people from Queens, when they get money, they move to that little area like Run used to live there back in the day from the mc.
Nyla Simone
That's the tub scene. Or that's where he grew up.
DJ Envy
The tub scene in Belly was. Was Run? No, that's Jersey, what you're thinking. But Belly was filmed in Jamaica states. That whole thing where that was that.
Nyla Simone
Hey, Rome Streets is nice. Now I want to get into some rap that the New York City youth is really rocking with. It's a new artist called Judah Weston. And this record has been really moving. It's called Rata Dia. What do y' all think?
Charlamagne Tha God
You said I gotta hear more.
Lauren LaRosa
I think I need to be out and hear that.
Nyla Simone
Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
It don't sound like nothing I've never heard before.
Caller/Listener
True.
Nyla Simone
You know, he has a pretty big following, like I said, and the songs are starting to get some legs. So I just wanted to make sure we highlight it, keep you guys up to date. But next, I want to get into the Zay France record called Racks. Now shout out to. Zay's actually number one on iTunes right now, so congratulations.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Nyla Simone
Okay.
Lauren LaRosa
I like that.
Nyla Simone
I was hoping you would. I was hoping you would.
Lauren LaRosa
I could put that to a couple pictures.
Nyla Simone
Okay, cool. Perfect. Perfect. And then my last one is another R B record. This is from Coco Jones, and it's called Body so Tea.
DJ Envy
That's all.
Charlamagne Tha God
I like it.
Lauren LaRosa
I like it, too.
Charlamagne Tha God
I like it because you talking to me. Okay. My body.
Nyla Simone
I'm like, where are we going with my body?
Charlamagne Tha God
Is T Lauren? Don't you dare hate. Cause Your body is lowercase I high. My body is.
DJ Envy
Wow.
Lauren LaRosa
You'll be so mad. You really take, like a big O. Just round and dumb.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know you want to think that.
Lauren LaRosa
All of it. Stand up. Yeah. Turn around. What angle you want is crazy shape. Like a thumb. All right, you know what? Now back to Coco. Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Catch your breath. Catch your breath over there, baby.
Caller/Listener
Wow.
Lauren LaRosa
What I like about her in this. This song is I know she was hesitant if how people would receive it, but she's doing it anyway.
Diddy's Twins (Jesse or Delilah)
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
And I don't mind the song at all, but I know that there are fans that are asking her why she's. Every time she tries something new, people be on her and asking her why. I like that she's doing it, though. I think it's unfair that people only expect one thing from her.
Nyla Simone
Yeah. I think the blogging and, like, kind of letting us into her mind that she's doing is good because we needed it. It's helping us understand where you're at that.
Mimi
Yes.
Nyla Simone
And then also, I think, you know, all her success that she got was off of that one ep, you know, that wasn't even, like, an album. So I think it's cool to see her, like, find her voice in this R B lane and she kind of on her own when it comes to, like, tone and stuff like that. So, yeah, salute to Coco. We're fans, but if you guys like those records, make sure you follow me at Nylasimone. N Y L A S Y M O N E E E I'm gonna post all these songs in my story so you guys can tap in.
DJ Envy
All right, well, thank you, Nala.
Nyla Simone
Thanks for having me.

There are 26 different iconic lyrics out there on both sprite and sprite zero sugar can. So if you get a 12 pack, you never know which ones you're gonna get. I'm holding a can of Sprite right now, and it has platinum on the block with consistent hits. Now, that's cool because, you know, I'm going to va next Saturday and collecting one of these Sprite cans are dope. Now your mission is to build your own physical playlist. Go out and hunt down all 26 limited edition cans of Sprite and Sprite Zero Sugar. This is the Sprite Living track list. Obey your thirst. Salute the Sprite. Good morning everybody. It's DJ Envy.

Now, before we get up out of here, I just want to salute to these young twins on Instagram. They're two young boys. I've been watching their videos a long time on social media. The dad is he's raising his two twins and they do all these videos together and it's always entertaining both. But they posted that one of the twins were missing. They said they left the house and never came back. So they're looking for them. And it's 80 Keeley 80 K E L I I I'm sure you followed them. I mean, they have millions and millions of followers, so I just want to send my prayers to them. I watch them all the time. I don't know them, but I watch them all the time. And that's probably one of the worst things ever to lose a child or a brother or anything like that. So I hope he makes it home safely.
Charlamagne Tha God
Same.
DJ Envy
All right. You got a positive note, Charlotte.
Charlamagne Tha God
I do have a positive note, man. Send a healing energy to that family for sure. I hope that young brother gets home safely. But my positive note today is about consistency, man. John C. Maxwell once said, small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time. Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time. So you don't gotta move fast. You just gotta move correctly. Have a great day.
