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.

We got Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infinity. When you first read your character on that script, what did your character remind you of? As you can see, you know, we don't always agree with a lot of things that perfidia do, but for the most part, we see a survivor. We see a woman that's in survival mode. We also see a woman that's unapologetically herself, but then she is also, like, mysterious and, like, you know, she got, like, a little sex appeal that's like, you know, how's she pulling them in like that? You feel me? You know, she's mysterious and she's also like a master manipulator, and she's like a octopus. She can like, get her way out of anything. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I love that.

Yeah, I saw that. It begins. It began. Is it next Thursday or was it yesterday? I think today. Right? It already began. It was a dude outside of Walmart went up to the police and asked him, can he carry his gun? They said, yeah, and he brought out an assault rifle. Like what? I wonder about that, though, man. I wonder if that keeps things more balanced. If everybody know, everybody packing, everybody will be a little bit more easy. At least when it comes to mass shootings. People might be like, you know what? Yeah, but let me slow down. But what about emotions? Like, people, are they emotionally prepared and ready for that at 21? Put your emotions in check. Hey, once again, it's Florida. It is Florida. Like, I don't know. I don't know how that. How that impact things. I mean, they're not the only open carry state in the south, so they not. They not, but they. It's some wacky people down there. I know. That's crazy. Yeah, Georgia's open carry. I think South Carolina might be, too. I'm not sure I'm all for it, but some states, it's like, man, maybe y' all should just not. Oh, I'm looking at it now. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas are all open carry states. Man, that's scary. Maybe we say it's scary, but, I mean, it's been open carry in these other states for a long time. So. Good morning. Who's. But it is Florida. That's the problem. Good morning. Who's this? Good morning. This is Spicy from Fayetteville, North Carolina. How are you? Peace. Spicy. Why they call you Spicy? Cause you musty damn sometimes, but that's another story. Okay, okay. You like to go natural? No, I don't go natural. I'm lying to you. Ain't nothing musty about my ass. Oh, okay. I don't believe it. I respect the honesty, though. I respect the honesty. Now I'm spicy because I can't. I can't turn it up real quick. Okay, who do you want to get the biggest he haw to? I'm giving the biggest he haw to my supervisor. I cannot say where I work at. I work for the United States government, but that's all I'm saying. Okay, what did he do or she do? Well, we're working in a building that has no air conditioning or anything. That's a good one. That was a good one. They got these big old fans everywhere, and they acting like, you know, we not just melting, but, yeah, we're here. Why they don't want to turn the air conditioner because we're in the building and it's all broke down and they can't afford to get a new one fixed because that's not a priority. So, yeah, we just work through it. That's crazy. Now, I would tell y' all to protest, and everybody come in there and be like you and not wear deodorant. Shut the government down in a few. We don't even know what's gonna happen. So we ain't protesting. We just glad to have our job. Damn, man. I don't like them conditions, though. Just because you shouldn't just be happy to have a job like, you know, you still a human being at the end of the day, providing a service for people. They should be providing a service for y' all by having air conditioning. Yeah, they should. But you know, what? If it ain't air conditioning?

Date: September 26, 2025
Hosts: DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God
Podcast: The Breakfast Club (iHeartPodcasts)
This episode of The Breakfast Club delivers its signature blend of caller-driven conversation, hot takes on current events, and engaging, off-the-cuff reactions from the hosts. The discussion covers topics such as parenting and mental health, working conditions for government employees, open carry gun laws in Florida, and, as always, “Donkey of the Day” phone-ins from listeners calling out foolish behavior. The hosts also tease upcoming special guests from Tyler Perry’s Sistas series.
(Starts ~04:15)
Opening the Lines: The hosts open the phones for listeners to nominate their own “donkey”—someone deserving of comedic public shaming.
First Caller (Lili):
Listener from Florida:
Spicy from Fayetteville, NC:
Key from the Bronx (now in the Poconos):
(Begins ~27:00)
Live Chat Shout-Outs:
Anticipation for Atlanta's Jingle Ball:
(34:25)
The hosts maintain their usual blend of blunt counsel, comedic prodding, and unscripted real talk. Callers are treated with both empathy and the hosts’ characteristic irreverence, making for conversations that are as honest as they are entertaining.
This Breakfast Club episode delivers a classic mix of listener engagement, current event critique, and cultural commentary, all with the candid, occasionally outrageous tone that fans expect. The “Donkey of the Day” call-ins spark deeper debates on topics like domestic violence, workplace rights, mental health for children, and America’s culture of guns. The balance between humor and realness is on full display—making for an episode dense with memorable moments and authentic discussion. The show also hints at more celebrity interviews to come, keeping listeners tuned in for both the laughs and the learning.
