They postponed it. They said, let's move it to March because they said if we get a little bit of snow and ice down.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In North Carolina, everything shuts down.

[DJ Envy]

Cuz they're not used to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, the Carolinas are not used to any type of snow. Weather. Any little bit of ice. Any little bit of snow. Cuz they don't have the plows and the salt trucks and all that. Everything shut down. Everything shut down.

[DJ Envy]

So they say, let's just postpone this thing. Because it was like, if. If we get all these people in the city, they gonna be stuck, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like stuck, stuck. Power gonna be out.

[Hilarious]

I ain't know. Y' all ain't get snow down there like that. I ain't know that they weren't prepared for snow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Our infrastructure in the Carolinas ain't built. I mean, really down south, period.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, Virginia's not. Georgia's not bad.

[Hilarious]

Oh, yeah, I remember that. Atlanta had that big snowstorm, and people.

[DJ Envy]

They thought it was big.

[Hilarious]

It was like two inches of snow. Schools were out, banks were closed, everything. People was online, scared to go outside. I'm like, damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it's the opposite up here. I remember when Hurricane Sandy hit and they was like, oh, it's just like a Category 1 tropical storm. And I'm like, man, nobody care about no Category 1. No tropical storm. Like. But then I realized we're up here in New York, so they shut everything down down south. Tropical storm, category one. Please go play in that. Go playing.

[DJ Envy]

That's crazy. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news next. Mimi will be joining us, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gorilla knows she can make some music. Can it.

[Hilarious]

Yes, she can.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, M.V. josh Charlemagne. How y' all doing this morning?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Peace, Mimi Brown.

[Hilarious]

You look good, Mimi.

[Angela Yee]

Than.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning. All right, well, we start this morning with new reporting on immigration enforcement that could change how and when federal agents enter a person's home. Now, immigration officers, they are now being told they can force entry without a warrant signed by a judge, relying instead on an administrative warrant if the person inside has a final order of removal. That guidance comes from an internal ICE memo shared by whistleblowers and reviewed by the Associated Press. Now, that memo, signed by the acting director of ICE back in May, it instructs officers to knock, identify themselves and give people a chance to comply. But if they don't, agents are authorized to use what the memo calls necessary and reasonable force to enter the home. Now, civil rights advocates warn this collides with the Fourth Amendment, which protects people in the U.S. citizens and noncitizens alike from unreasonable search and seizures. Seizures. Now, the memo, it was not widely shared inside ice, according to the whistleblower complaint, but its guidance has been used to train new officers. And even though it appears to be contradicting existing DHS training materials, federal officials, they, though, continue to insist their enforcement tactics. Tactics are lawful. Let's listen to Border Control chief Greg Bovino.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Our operations are lawful. They're targeted and they're focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community.

[DJ Envy]

They are not random and they are not political. They are about removing criminals who are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Actively harming Minneapolis neighborhoods. I mean, listen, it's not surprising. Trump has always wiped his ass with the Constitution. And it is unlawful if you are, you know, going against the Fourth Amendment. So the Trump administration is an authoritarian regime, period. If you're ignoring the Constitution, that's a form of authoritarian power. There's no other way to define it.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, for sure. And federal officials, though, they say this shift is partly driven by claims that Minnesota has refused to turn over convicted felons and violent criminals, and they are accusing the state of not cooperating. But Minnesota officials, they strongly dispute that. Paul Schnell, who oversees Minnesota's Department of Corrections, says the state has not refused to cooperate with federal authorities. Let's listen to what he had to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It is fundamentally false. We cooperate with ICE and ICE detainers. We have, as a matter of policy, done that for a long, long time. If ICE as a detainer, they want them to take custody of them, we will facilitate the transfer of custody. Period.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah. So we're also learning this morning new details about how Renee Good was killed. She's a 37 year old US citizen who was shot and killed by ICE earlier this month. A new independent autopsy released by her family shows that she was shot three times and grazed with a fourth bullet. Her attorneys say she was hit in the arm and the chest wounds, they say that were not immediately life threatening, but a third bullet struck her in the head and that proved fatal. The county.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

The county medical examiner has not released its official report yet. And there's also word that Vice President J.D. vance is expected in Minneapolis today.

[Hilarious]

Four times.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, man, definitely sending her and her family handling energy. And you know, going back to what you were saying about ICE in the fourth entry, Mimi, the other problem is when you give ICE agents that type of broad power that they can enter your house with force without a warrant, it won't be used just against the so called criminals. Like it can and will be used against anybody. They want to use it against people.

[DJ Envy]

That they think are immigrants that are regular citizens and everybody want to, anybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They choose a profile.

[DJ Envy]

You kick down, you kick down the door and somebody's a legally licensed gun owner. You kick down a gun and you, you kick down the door and you're a citizen. What are you going to think when somebody kicks down your door? You gonna fight back?

[Hilarious]

It'll be killed.

[DJ Envy]

It's gonna be disgusting, Right, because you.

[Mimi Brown]

Don'T know who's coming through the door, right?

[Caller]

No.

[Mimi Brown]

So you're just asking for trouble. This is so. We will continue to watch that. And then there's also new information this morning that ICE is launching a new operation in Maine. Federal authorities there say dozens of people have already been arrested on day one. Maine's governor and local leaders there, they're pushing back and warning that this operation is creating fear in their communities and urging agents to. To show proper warrants. So we'll continue to watch what happens in Maine as they move and continue to expand their ice operations around the country. And coming up at 7, a major winter storm, what you guys were just talking about is expected to hit. Millions of Americans will tell you if your state will be impacted and how to prepare. That's coming up in the next hour.

[DJ Envy]

All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-10-1051. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

This is your time to get it off your chat.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Caller/Listener]

Hello?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's this?

[Caller Juicy]

This is Amber from Austin, Texas.

[DJ Envy]

Amber from Austin, what's up? Get it off your chest.

[Caller Juicy]

Hi, Breakfast Club. So I'm calling several reasons. Texas is gearing up for a Texas storm. San Cruz was spotted on a plane to California. So we're doomed. Anytime that man leaves Texas, you know it's gonna get bad. I'm also calling because I am an electrician. I'm a third year apprentice here in the IBE depth of 520. And I just want to motivate your listeners, parents, motivate and encourage your kids to get into the trade.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Caller Juicy]

Express. I can't even express to how the trades has changed my life as a woman. And also I would like to say to the black brothers and sisters out there, get into a trade. I don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Caller Juicy]

A lot of them out here. I'm on a site where there's 200 people, plumbers, H vac, electricians. Since I've been here, I've only seen three black people. My brown brothers, you know, whatever, whatever. Parents.

[DJ Envy]

I know what you mean.

[Caller Juicy]

If your children don't know if college is their thing, push them into a trade. I am pushing my son into a trade.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're 100% correct. We've been pushing that for a while. I got some initiatives that I'm working on too, to really encourage people to go to trade school. Not just encourage them to go to trade school, but pay for their trade school. But you are 100% right.

[Caller Juicy]

There are programs out there. I mean, I'm in the school right now. It's tough. I'm actually sitting in my car right now doing homework because I have a test on transformers and I need lots of luck because it is tough. I'm not gonna front. It's tough.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What trade are you going after? You said electrician, you said.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Caller Juicy]

Yes, I'm an electrician. I'm a third year apprentice. I'm about a thousand hours away from taking my journeyman's exam.

[Hilarious]

Congratulations.

[DJ Envy]

You know, salute. I'm an ambassador for Lincoln Tech, which is a trade school. And it's funny that you mentioned that because Lincoln Tech this week is having open houses at all their campuses. So they want people to come out. And yes, they do electrician, they do H Vac, they do welding, they do automotive, they do healthcare. And like you said, they have programs that when you finish, they actually can get you a job in some of the places that we're talking about. So.

[Caller Juicy]

And not only that, but you can work and earn your hours towards your certification. Yeah, and there's, there's kids 19, 20 years old making a thousand dollars a week.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Caller Juicy]

Money out here. Y' all like, man, I got, I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Got family members who after high school went and got day, you know, H Vac, they ain't Mr. Meal in 30 years. And y' all talk about entrepreneurship. That is, that's, that's your own business.

[DJ Envy]

That's, that's a step into your own business, opening up your own plumbing company, your own electrician company, your own whatever company. But yeah, again, if you. And there's Lincoln Tech's all over the country. So lincolntech Edu, they have open houses this week. I was just there yesterday. But I told myself, this week, this year I'm gonna take some classes in H Vac. Because when your H Vac goes down, when your AC goes down, it's expensive as a mother.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, it is.

[DJ Envy]

And I don't know what they be telling me.

[Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

So I'm like, I just want to learn just a little bit. So I know at least a little bit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Angela Yee]

Are you going to Genuine's content though? No, no, I know know you can. It's going to be a good concert. But you expect him to do what he was doing in his videos all the years ago. I don't expect that when I go to those type of concerts.

[DJ Envy]

We just had a 53 year old wrestler up here still doing splits and backflips.

[Angela Yee]

They're live, but not the same.

[Hilarious]

From the video.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's wrestling. If I was. First of all, I was born in 1978. I know what I can't do anymore. Why would I.

[DJ Envy]

If you had to. If your job is to do splits, you can still do splits.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And salute to Bobby Brown. What did Bobby Brown say when he was up? Bobby was like, y' all still expect me to do that? No, No. I don't know.

Okay, well, tickets are on sale for Mary J. Blige's residency. You can get them via Ticketmaster. The dates are through the 9th and July 10th through the 18th. Now, in other news, speaking of something that. I don't know if y' all are tired of talking about it, but I am. Drake is appealing the dismissal of his defamation lawsuit. So a few months ago, he filed notice. So we knew that the appeal was coming. The document and the. The filing is actually here at 60 pages. And Drake is appealing this lawsuit against Universal Music Group. He's asking this case to be sent back, and he says that it should be decided by a trial, not by a motion to dismiss. He says that Kendrick Lamar is not like us, he alleges, is an ambiguous matter of fact. So the issue, when the judge decided to dismiss it was that she. The judge basically said there's no way that a song can be taken as like, proven like fact. Right. Drake is arguing something different. He's also claiming that Universal Music Group relentlessly marketed the song in a way that misled customers and caused some serious harm. And he says in this filing that it's dangerous for a, you know, know, certain actions not to be taken when things like this happen. Because you're basically telling people that they can defame people relentlessly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a rap battle. So once again, why don't these things apply to him? This man said that Kendrick beat his wife. This man said that Kendrick's babies, his best friend Dave Freed, got his wife pregnant. Why doesn't that apply to him then? I don't.

[DJ Envy]

I really don't understand Drake at this point. Because it went away. Right? People weren't talking about it, right? They just started talking about his new album was the Iceman album.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. Drake just keep making it cold and colder for Iceman. That's the perfect name for that album. If it seems a little chilly for Drake, it's because he does, you know, silly stuff like this. That is the perfect name. And I keep telling y', all, Bobby Drake, who's Iceman, was a gay superhero.

[Hilarious]

Oh, my God.

[State Farm Announcer]

And this is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, look it up.

[Caller/Listener]

I don't trust you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It is Bobby Drake.

[Hilarious]

Marvel DC Comics.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Where was a gay superhero? And these are. This is gay. This is what the kids would call gay. Every time Drake does stuff like this, this is what the kids would call gay.

[Angela Yee]

Yo, I have a question.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[Angela Yee]

No question is a stupid question.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I want to know.

[DJ Envy]

Iceman, one of the original X Men, is gay.

[Hilarious]

Also Marvel.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, why would I make that up?

[Angela Yee]

Because how would you just know that? Oh, you're. I forgot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're a Marvel fan. Yeah, I got Wolverine tattooed on my arm.

[Angela Yee]

I forgot because I write.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've written.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Hilarious]

Oh, my God. Iceman has a boyfriend in X Men. What class was he in? Because, you know, like, it's a whole school. So who's gay with him? Like, who's his.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Caller Juicy]

[Hilarious]

Like, does he have a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know who else? Caitlyn Jenner.

[Caller Juicy]

You know what?

[Angela Yee]

And it's time to wrap. Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Now, when we come back, we got front page news. Don't go anywhere. This guy's crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, M.B. josh, Charlamagne. How y' all doing? Good morning. So we start this morning or this hour with new developments around President Trump and Greenland following a dramatic shift in a tone and which unfolded over the course of just a few hours. So yesterday it began with the President speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos. That's in Switzerland, where he doubled down on his push for the United States to acquire Greenland. In that speech, he said he wanted the territory outright, including what he called right title and ownership. He ruled out using military force, but continued to threaten tariffs and sharply criticize NATO. During the speech, the President also appeared to confuse Greenland with Iceland and said NATO leaders referred to him as daddy, let's listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But in doing it, I'm helping Europe, I'm helping NATO.

[DJ Envy]

And until the last few days, when.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I told them about Iceland, they loved me.

[DJ Envy]

They called me Daddy, right? Last time, very smart man, said, he's our daddy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's running it. I was like, running it.

[DJ Envy]

I went from running it to being.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A terrible human being. But now what I'm asking for is.

[DJ Envy]

A piece of ice, cold and poorly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Located, that can play a vital role.

[DJ Envy]

In world peace and world protection. But the problem with NATO is that we'll be there for them 100%. But I'm not sure that they be there for us. They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. I mean, our stock market took the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

First dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money. There's not a country in the world that trusts the United States under the leadership of Donald Trump. And not allies, enemies, nobody. Like, you can't play with the. You can't play with global stability in the way that he's playing with global stability by saying things like he wants to go take Greenland. And he did say he wanted to take it by force.

[Hilarious]

He did say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I'm not gonna say he didn't say that verbatim, but he said we could do it the easy way, the hard way. We just assumed the hard way was by force.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, he threatened to take it by military action.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So, oh, yes, there you go. That is force.

[Mimi Brown]

Exactly. And so the White House, they later pushed back, saying the President, he was referring to Greenland as a piece of ice and not calling it Iceland, though, you know, we all kind of heard what we heard, and he said it several times. And just hours later after that speech, though, his tone shifted. President Trump announced what he called a framework of a future deal on Greenland, and he pulled back those threats of new tariffs that we talked about yesterday on those eight European countries. And he later described an agreement as the concept of a deal. And so that shift, it was welcomed by European leaders. And while NATO's Secretary General, though they cautioned that there is still a lot of work to do. So that conference continues today. So we'll continue to watch what happens as the United States is on the world stage. Out in Switzerland.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did he say that sometimes you need a dictator?

[Mimi Brown]

He did say that.

[State Farm Announcer]

What?

[Mimi Brown]

He did say that. He did. He definitely said that. He talked about Governor Newsom. There was a lot of little nuggets during that speech. He talked about France, Canada. You know, there was There was a lot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just don't understand why words don't matter when it comes to Donald Trump. They do. I'm just saying because, because I'm a words person. What you say is what you say. I gotta believe you based off what you say. How come nobody ever believes Donald Trump when he says the things that he says? Not his supporters, people in his administration. It's always, oh, he didn't mean it like that. If you say sometimes you need a dictator, like, what are you saying? Is he not saying the quiet part out loud?

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, definitely. And I think time and time again he's shown that if he's saying something we should probably listen or take heed to. There's a little bit of truth there. So, again, we will continue to see what happens with that. And former first lady Michelle Obama, she is shutting down any idea of her husband heading back to the White House, even hypothetically. So on a recent episode of Call Her Daddy, she was asked how she feels if President Obama could somehow run for a third term. You know, we've heard President Trump continue to raise that idea publicly. Let's listen to what she had to say.

[Hilarious]

I would actively work against that, that, you know, I, I do believe in the need for new vision.

[Angela Yee]

I mean, the, the two terms is.

[Hilarious]

Not just about we like him and we want it. It's just like we're changing and growing so fast.

[Caller Juicy]

This is a hard job.

[Angela Yee]

And it, it requires new energy, new.

[Hilarious]

New vision all the time, new ways of looking at the world.

[Caller Juicy]

So I do believe that.

[Wells Fargo Announcer]

8.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, I didn't see the whole interview, so I'm only responding to that clip, but people have to stop asking that question and discussing it like it's normal. If Trump runs for a third term, the fight is fixed. Whatever election that happens will be all for show. Do you really think that they're going to change things to make it that he can run for a third term and he's going to lose? Like, why do we keep normalizing this conversation? Like, it's, it's, it's two terms for a president. It, that's it. Keep it moving.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that's normal. Normalcy. That's what it should be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's the way it'll always be.

[DJ Envy]

Right? That's what I'm saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And if it's changed, the fight is big.

[Hilarious]

Already in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Mimi Brown]

No one else has a chance. There's no chance of anyone else.

[DJ Envy]

Correct?

[Mimi Brown]

Yes, absolutely. And Mrs. Obama, she went on to say that while older leaders can bring wisdom, she does believe that the country needs fresh leadership, new ideas, and it's time to let a new generation step forward with those ideas and, and, you know, just put some, some, some fresh new energy into, you know, the political atmosphere and see what happens.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's right. But that new generation isn't gonna happen if y' all keep normalizing conversations about a third term. Okay? Because the more you normalize it with conversations, and it's gonna be normal when it actually happens. And then when it actually happens, Donald Trump is going to remain in the White House and everybody gonna be sitting around like, oh, Obama couldn't beat Trump. What the hell? The fight was fixed.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Mimi Brown]

100% true. All right. And now turning to a serious weather threat developing across much of the country. Forecasters are warning that Fern. A major winter storm is expected to stretch from Texas to the Massachusetts to Massachusetts through the weekend, bringing heavy snow, sleet, freezing rain, and dangerously cold temperatures. Now, more than 180 million people, they are in the storm's path, including residents in major cities like Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte, Washington, D.C. philadelphia, New York, Boston. Heavy snow ice could bring down trees, power lines, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without electricity and heat for days. Now, winter storm watches, they are already in effect for at least 70 million people across the Southwest, the Plains, the south and Southeast. And the National Weather Service is urging people to start preparing now for what it's calling a long lasting and high impact storm. Now, timing wise, snow and ice begins impacting the Plains late Friday morning, spreading east and south through Saturday. And by Sunday, wintry weather, it shifts into the Ohio Valley, the Mid Atlantic and the Northeast with snow and gusty winds lingering into early Monday. And just one more note here. Travel is expected to be heavily disrupted. Accuweather, it's warning that thousands of flight cancellations are likely this weekend and school closures are also expected. So parents, parents plan accordingly across multiple states as this drags on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My daughter got a cheerleading competition this weekend. Please let it be canceled. The reason that. Here's the thing, you said that your daughter's people already canceled. Pushed it back, right?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, they cancel that already.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Go. The reason it's important to do that now is because we got to go get snacks and we got to go get prepared for the weekend. No, for real. Like, I got a big plans for the weekend.

[Caller Juicy]

That's what it is.

[Mimi Brown]

We go to the grocery store, get it, you know.

[Caller]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why they tell us now if things are going to be canceled.

[Hilarious]

This guy wants to get snacks.

[DJ Envy]

I got my snacks already. But no But. But he's right. But not because of the snacks. But you just don't want to be on the road and planning to go down there and then cancel it on your way down there, and then you got to drive back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I'm with you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Snacks, too. You got to get snacks, you got to go get food, you got to go get your wine. You got to go get everything you need to be snowed for the weekend. Ain't going to be no door dash. Ain't going to be no Uber.

[DJ Envy]

Ain't going be none of that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[DJ Envy]

I tried to call IHOP one at a time. Times when we had a snow, it took six hours. They told the driver said six hours to get the. I said, nah, I'll go get it myself.

[Hilarious]

Damn. I know. He was happy, like, good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Please go get it.

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Salute to all the single people out there. One more thing, maybe salute to all the single people out there. Make sure you get snowed in with your best eater. You know what I mean? If that's what you choose to do. What?

[Hilarious]

Yo, Nah, that's not. You can't tell them that because the best eater already in a relationship, and that's what they don't talk about. Wow. For real? The best eaters already be in relationships. They just be cheating.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why is it a his?

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

She was mad that her wife.

[Hilarious]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Had a. A work wife and cheated.

[Hilarious]

[DJ Envy]

Her girlfriend.

[Caller Juicy]

So I have a girlfriend that I've been with for a year and a half. So we live together. We got a cat, you know. Real lesbian.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, we got a cat.

[Hilarious]

Real lesbian.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Three cats in the house.

[DJ Envy]

Talk to us.

[Caller Juicy]

So she's a nurse. She's telling me a few months ago, she started getting close with some girl at work. The girl is her work wife. I tell her to nip it in the bud. She don't do it. Then I go through her Phone on Christmas day. I see her texting with the girl, and the girl's talking like, what you wearing? I can't wait to see you type shit. Today we had a big fight. She turned her location off, and she left the crib. I drive her through her AirPods. My dude.

[Hilarious]

Wow.

[Caller Juicy]

She has the shorty's house, yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn crazy.

[Caller Juicy]

I pulled up to the crib, I said, come outside. She said, you in the wrong place. I'm not here. I knock on the front door.

[Hilarious]

I'm not here.

[Caller Juicy]

They told me they gonna call the cops. And I'm like, no, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[Caller Juicy]

You know?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that's why you lesbians got to be careful, man. Because if your vibrator got a Bluetooth setting and people can track you. Oh, it was AirPods.

[Hilarious]

That is big stud energy.

[DJ Envy]

I ain't gonna hold you. So the question is, 800-585-1051, do you mind if your significant other has a work wife or work husband?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is the question.

[DJ Envy]

800 585.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I see? We don't ever talk about how toxic studs are. Are. All right? And we don't ever talk about how toxic a lot of those lesbian relationships are. There's plenty of people out there that have. I guess I don't even know why we use that term, but I guess work husbands, work wives, and it don't lead to nothing.

[DJ Envy]

Well, let's discuss. Do you mind if your significant other has one toxic. 800-585-1051 is the breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning. It's topic time.

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I don't like how you said that. Don't disrespect the stud community like that. Talk about something. She was a big stud. How you know she was a big stud?

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You mean like big. Like notorious Big, Kind of big.

[DJ Envy]

Big stud energy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Big energy.

[DJ Envy]

Big energy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. Like, she was like, yeah, but big D energy. Yeah, yeah, I get what you're saying. She had big energy is what she's saying.

[DJ Envy]

I would have said big dildo energy.

[Caller Juicy]

Damn, I like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I like that. I like that.

[Caller Juicy]

I like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Big vibrator energy. I like that. So she sound like somebody getting electrocuted when she pull that thing out. I might as well say, damn, now you went too far.

[Hilarious]

Oh, my God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You always got to go, too.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, yeah, play too much. All right, like, let's listen to the call.

[Caller Juicy]

So I have a girlfriend that I've been with for a year and a half. So we live together. We got a cat, you know, real lesbians.

[State Farm Announcer]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. Three cats in the house.

[DJ Envy]

Talk to us.

[Caller Juicy]

So she's a nurse. She's telling me a few months ago, she started getting close for some girl at work. The girl is her work wife. I tell her to nip it in the bud. She don't do it. Then I go through her phone on Christmas Day. I see her texting with the girl, and the girl's talking like, what you wearing? I can't wait to see you type. Today we had a big fight. She turned her location off, and she left the crib. I dragged her through her ear pods, my dude.

[Hilarious]

Wow.

[Caller Juicy]

She at the shorty's house. Yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn crazy.

[Caller Juicy]

I pulled up to the crib. I said, come outside. She said, you in the wrong place. I'm not here. I knock on the front door.

[Hilarious]

I'm not here.

[Caller Juicy]

They told me they gonna call the cops. And I'm like, nah, y', all, you know?

[DJ Envy]

All right, so we're asking. 800-585-1051. Do you mind if your significant other has a house? I said, a house. A work wife, work husband.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, I want the record to show what a normal show would have just said. Do you mind if your significant other has a work wife or work husband? Actually, the stud lesbian aspect of it has nothing to do with any of this.

[DJ Envy]

But that's what the conversation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Start. Nothing to do.

[DJ Envy]

Do with it. I like that.

[Hilarious]

Interesting story.

[DJ Envy]

It was an interesting story, but that's where the call came from. She said she doesn't want her wife to have her girlfriend to have that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Let's start with you. Would you mind if Chris had a.

[Hilarious]

A work wife? I absolutely would. Would mind. Like, I. I don't think the. The label is going too far when you say wife and husband.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why?

[Hilarious]

You just can't have a work friend. You know what I'm saying? Or a coworker that you're really cool with? Like, why does it have to be. Why does the term have to be work wife, work husband? I don't think it's appropriate. I don't like it now. Now, a lot of times it is platonic. You know what I mean? But a lot of times it's not right, so. And you never know. How about you?

[DJ Envy]

Now, either we all friends or we're not friends.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Like, nah, nah, Charlemagne.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like the term, like. Like, just said, like, you shouldn't be calling nobody else your husband. You shouldn't be calling nobody else your wife. You know, those are, like sacred titles. You know? I mean, those are titles that. That you earn and, you know, you can't just be calling nobody your work husband. Work wife. And to me, it, like, it set. It. It applies other connotations. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Like, why does that got to be your work husband? A work wife. You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

No, I don't like that. I like the term.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was funny. Me and Envy do it.

[Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I be like, that's my work husband. But that's as a joke. Exactly.

[Hilarious]

All wives know each other, you know, Y' all wives know.

[DJ Envy]

He play too much, though. Like, he play when we outside.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When we.

[DJ Envy]

When we outside of work. He's still playing. I don't want to play.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, that's because the streets know. The streets know. The streets know. You my work bottom. You're actually my work bottom. That's the way I look at it.

[State Farm Announcer]

What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My thoughts is ain't no work wives, ain't no work husbands. You know what I mean? Cause, you know, soon as she get a little attitude with me, she go to work, talk about, you know, oh, he not doing me, right, Right?

[Caller]

[State Farm Announcer]

I ain't with you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right. Damn, you're right.

[Hilarious]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I ain't going front, man. Something happened on my algorithm one day where I clicked on one video, and then I just went down a whole thing of videos where it's these girls talking about this, how you take care of your friend. And it's like, girls giving guys information.

[Hilarious]

Hell, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no. That's what I'm saying. It's like, but this got to work from home.

[Angela Yee]

Working from home.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She can't rock with me. Matter of fact, Amazon got to leave.

[Caller]

A package on the steps.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't even ring the bell. Damn.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, brother. Hello? Who's this?

[Caller]

Hey.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man.

[DJ Envy]

Nardo. What's up? Talk to us. What's your thoughts?

[Caller]

Hey, man, good morning to y', all, man. I listen to y' all in this morning. I want to start that off.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you. Morning.

[Caller]

Yes. Yes, sir. But, yeah, I. I think these days, now, being in a relationship, when you with a person and they're at a. At a job site, and they would. They see this work for 9, 10, 12 hours out of the day, you know, they tend to go on lunch dates, and, you know that's. That's gonna happen.

[State Farm Announcer]

And I think, you know, you just.

[Caller]

Gotta either accept it or leave it, because really, that's what goes on.

[DJ Envy]

Do you have a work wife, bro?

[Caller]

No, I drive truck, brother. I just started my own business, Cooler Express, man.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You gotta. You gotta work a lot, Lizard.

[Caller]

No, no, Definitely don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is that one. It's that one rest stop on the route you be going.

[Hilarious]

You gotta got leave that man alone.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's a dope.

[DJ Envy]

Hello?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's this?

[Caller]

Dion.

[DJ Envy]

Dion. What's up, brother? Talk to us. What's your thoughts?

[Caller]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning.

[Caller Juicy]

First of all, I love all of y', all.

[Caller]

Everything y' all do. I think y' all are amazing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you. Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We appreciate you, man. Thank you.

[Caller Juicy]

But another thing, I think the girl was insane for telling her girlfriend she.

[Caller]

Got a work wife.

[Caller Juicy]

Yeah, I think that. Yeah, you gotta keep that to yourself. I've had plenty of work wives that didn't lead to nothing at all. But like I told my dad, like, I just kept it to me, we just getting coffee and doing stuff like that. We ain't doing nothing crazy.

[Hilarious]

Now, that's the thing. The reason why I thought it wasn't crazy that she told her girlfriend that she had a work wife. What made it crazy is that you really effing with your work wife. Like, y' all getting intimate. Y'. All. Y' all flirting and dealing with each other. She went in the phone, saw messages, and she cheat. She was cheating on her girlfriend with her work wife. That's where it went wrong. It got crazy.

[Caller]

That's a whole nother conversation.

[Hilarious]

Hey, you.

[Caller Juicy]

You know what I'm saying?

[Caller]

That you can keep it to yourself. Tia, you always on for that.

[Caller Juicy]

I can't never vouch for that.

[DJ Envy]

Now, Dion, answer, answer, answer. The. The real way, right? Have you ever flirted with your work wife?

[Caller Juicy]

I mean, of course. That's why it's my work life. But a. Nothing happened.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, but, see, you shouldn't be flirting. See, you know, your wife would not allow you to be flirting. Would you tell your wife you was flirting with your work Wife?

[Caller Juicy]

Of course not.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay.

[Caller Juicy]

See, that's why you don't say that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, you don't. Listen, my rule is you don't do nothing you can't tell your wife.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't tell your wife about it. You know, you ain't got no business doing it.

[DJ Envy]

Now, if you're just joining us, this conversation actually came from a woman who called yesterday during. Get it off your chest. Let's listen to the call.

[Caller Juicy]

So I have a girlfriend that I've been with for a year and a half. So we live together. We got a cat, you know, real lesbian.

Then I go through her phone on Christmas Day. I see her texting with the girl, and the girl's talking like, what you wearing? I can't wait to see you type shit. Today we had a big fight. She turned her location off as she left the crib. I drive her through her AirPods. My dude.

[Caller Juicy]

She has the shorty's house, yo.

[Hilarious]

Damn crazy.

[Caller Juicy]

I pulled up to the crib, I said, come outside. She said, you in the wrong place. I'm not here. I knock on the front door, I'm not here. They told me they gonna call the cops. And I'm like, nah, y', all, you know?

[DJ Envy]

So we're asking 800-585-1051. Do you mind if your significant other has a work husband or work wife? Hello? Who's there?

[Caller Juicy]

Hey, this Juicy.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Juicy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Caller Juicy]

Oh, I'm. I'm somebody who caught my work wife. Happy.

[DJ Envy]

I want to say.

[Caller Juicy]

Yeah. So my. My husband worked somewhere, right? We used to work together. I quit, so I found, like, placement that didn't work out. So, you know, because I know, like, I know how the work wife and stuff is. My husband don't drive. I was taking him to work, and at the same time I was taking him to work. The work wife, she got a husband too. But I didn't know this at the time because she just started. So when I was leaving, I see her, I see her husband, like, mean mugging the mess out of my mind. So I wanted to be like, what's up? Why you looking at him like that? Like. Cause, like, it was something that didn't sit right with me. So I made a mental note of it. So the next time I went, it was. She went with her husband. She was by herself, so she was looking at my car. I got real dark shit. So you can't see in there. I can see her. She can't see.

Whether you're running a side hustle or you're trying to run a full storefront, selling to your community or around the world, Shopify takes the guesswork out of everything. Shopify also, like, my favorite thing about it is they teach you as you grow, you can look up anything, get information on anything, and it's simple. They give you, like, easy one, two, three steps.

Like, what is you lying for?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[DJ Envy]

We got more of the story and we going to go right to Juicy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The moral of the story is you don't need a husband, a work wife, or work husband. You don't. That's right.

[DJ Envy]

Let's throw it back. Here's Notorious B.I.G. with Juicy is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your talk LL Cool.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. And everything.

[Hilarious]

Girls look at you and.

[Angela Yee]

Go, I want to be like, you.

[Caller Juicy]

Take me through that.

[Angela Yee]

Take me through there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The latest with on the Breakfast Club. Ll talk to me.

[Angela Yee]

All right, guys, so Kim Kardashian and Kanye west are finally in a good place when it comes to their co parenting. So Kim Kardashian sat down with her sister Khloe on Khloe's podcast, and they had a conversation just about where things are now. And a lot of it is because of Northwest and her interest in music. Let's take a look. Listen, I think it's important to say you and Yay have really bonded over North's producing. You guys are now in a much better place.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, I'm a really empathetic person. I mean, at the end of the day, we're always family. I always look at it that way. No matter what's going on, there are times when I have to be super protective, and there are times when, you know, at any moment, I would love that relationship. And I've always talked about that. The music side and the producing isn't my thing, and that's her bonding thing with her dad. But even just, like, coming up with stuff, we have to communicate about how north, like, moves through that world and all these, like, opportunities that come her way and having to filter that and, like, respecting his opinion on the things that go on with his kids is really important. So I think it's important for the kids. You just kind of have to put all the other stuff aside.

[Angela Yee]

What you laughing at? Just how she talk.

[Hilarious]

I just can't help that every last word has, like, a rising tone every single time. But I'm very, very proud of them for, like, co parenting greatly and moving forward.

[DJ Envy]

I know you think that, but no, I would say, though, I do think that's dope. You know, I do think there are moments with parents that your kids bond to. Like, me and my kids bond doing activities, riding the quad, riding the go kart, doing certain things, and they bond with mom doing certain things. So the fact that they have that bonding situation and the co parenting is getting better, that's the best.

[Hilarious]

I think that's dope. I think that's what they both wanted.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think the thing that I get out of that is, clearly, Kanye west is in a better headspace. Clearly, Kanye west has been doing some work on himself, because I listened to what Deon Cole said when he saw Kanye the other day, and I'm listening to Kim now. Clearly, Kanye is in a better headspace.

[Angela Yee]

So there were reports or we saw over Christmas that Kanye got to spend Christmas with the kids. And when that happened, there were reports about how he was in a better headspace, and that's what he was focused on. And we do have the clip of Deon Cole when he was here talking about where Kanye west is right now. Let's take a listen to Deon Cole on Kanye's mental space.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I have been interested to see what his mindset is, because we haven't heard from him. He's been quiet for about a year.

[Angela Yee]

And that's been some time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

His man, I'm telling you, where he at, he's just like, man, I'm gonna.

[Caller]

Put some music out. I'm gonna do what I do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm gonna go back to the essence. I'm about to make it soulful.

[Hilarious]

I'm about to make it fun.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm about to get it in. And that's where he at with it. He like, man, I'm just gonna keep doing me and, you know, whatever, whatever. But he's just chilling right now.

[Angela Yee]

And also, too, when those reports came out around Christmas, they talked about Kanye also actually approving of Northwest being on social media at one point in time. Y' all know, he was completely against it, but he says that according to the report or the source, that he's now with it. And, you know, she's dropped new music recently. She. When she posted her song about. About the jewelry on her hand, she tagged Yay and said this was the Yay version. So it's believed that he produced it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I saw something the other day. I don't know if it was real. They were saying how he don't want. He don't want Hell Hitler played anymore.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, I saw that. So there was a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Trying to distance himself from that. That. That. That song.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, there was a. Yes, A group of men, but it was a group of men played in the club, and it went viral. And I'm sure it came from that conversation.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, there's been conversations about him trying to distance himself from all of that as he gets back, because he's about to go back on the road road, start performing. So, yeah, it seems like he's in a good place. So hopefully in that good space, maybe we'll get to hear from him. And once he gets back on the road, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I pray for healing for Kanye West. I pray for healing for Kanye. Oh, yeah, he's got a. A handle on his mental and emotional well, being good for him.

[Angela Yee]

Same. Well, speaking of being in a good place, TI sat down with V103, and he's talking about wanting to get to a good place in his own life and why he named his. It's supposed to be his last album. Kill the King. Let's take a listen.

[DJ Envy]

Kill the King is a metaphor for killing the ego.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Long before I was a nationwide name, I made a decision to claim King of the south, and I did.

[DJ Envy]

But I've seen over time that a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Lot of my infractions and disagreements and.

[DJ Envy]

Back and forth with people was because. Because of how they felt about that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I get to, you know, grow, learn, and develop. I found that there's nothing more important than peace of mind.

[DJ Envy]

In seeking said peace of mind, I found that the less ego you hold.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

On to, the more peace you can hold on to.

[DJ Envy]

I Look at Andre 3000, man, he walked in like a monk. Him and he flew. EJ move through towns and countries. Everybody love him and receive them. And it ain't never no kind of hate. And that's the type of peace I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hope to gain and earn one day.

[DJ Envy]

In quest of that, it might be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Time to kill the King. Okay, I like that.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Shout out. That was Danny B at V103.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Salute to Tip, man. I got a top seven favorite rappers of all time, and T.I. is definitely in that top seven.

[Hilarious]

You hear me?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I really this. You know what I want before the Kill the King album? I want somebody to play with TI and do a versus. Y' all need to know how deep TI's catalog goes.

[DJ Envy]

I just don't know who TI does.

[Hilarious]

Would it be Wayne?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

TI and Wayne would be amazing, but I would rather. I would rather him cut the head off of somebody from the east coast. I would rather it be somebody up north. Try to play.

[DJ Envy]

I don't think. I don't think anybody matches T.I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

With what he does. I'm trying to tell you, when it hits singles, street records, Records for the ladies. Introspective Records features whatever you want, T. I got it.

[Angela Yee]

Run them. Okay, Run them. Well, as we wrap, speaking of verses next hour, next latest, we'll be talking about the new versus announcement because we got another versus coming on January 30th. So we going to be getting into who it's going to be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, get that new TI record on, man. The joint that you played the other.

[Angela Yee]

And so we are in a state of emotion emergency.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay? White supremacist violence is. It always has been, the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. The Breakfast Club.

[Caller Juicy]

All right, Charlene, please tell me, why.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was I your donkey of the day? Donkey of Today for Thursday, January 22nd goes to 35 year old William Gregory. Now, we keep having all these conversations about ice, and one thing that folks are always concerned about with ICE is we don't know who the hell I isis. Okay? ICE agents are masked and unidentifiable, and they are very, very easy to impersonate. Okay? They are easy to impersonate because they don't wear a single standardized uniform. They wear plain clothes. Many of them only display a badge or vest that says ISA Police. There is no consistent visual standard, okay, to compare against. Not to mention immigration enforcement happens any and everywhere. Okay? ICE off offices, they pop out in apartment complexes, okay? Work sites, the streets, courthouses, homes. It happens anywhere. I'm not gonna be surprised if we see it at the super bowl and Bad Bunny perform. Okay? All right. So they are very easy to impersonate. And one thing I have heard constantly from other humans in America is how are we supposed to know they are ICE agents? Then yesterday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by the Associated Press revealed that the agency is allowing officers to forcibly enter homes to make arrest without a judicial warrant. Really? So what is that gonna do? Okay, What? What does that do? It makes it easy for impersonators to try to take advantage of people because they was already trying to take advantage of people anyway, okay? Way before this memo leaked, it's been a lot of ICE impersonators. And that's why we are gathered Here today because William Gregory is one of those ice impersonators. What do you mean, uncle? He's an ice impersonator. Well, let's go to ABC4 for the report, please.

[Hilarious]

Could you imagine coming home or coming down the steps and somebody's in your home? For residents in this belt hoover neighborhood, the fear that this family must have felt is incomprehensible. I believe that is a Hispanic home, you know, and our neighborhood is very diverse. And then you have somebody fraudulently acting like they want to be ICE and then come in and invade the people that make up my community. But police say a boy inside the home fought back protecting his family. According to court papers, when William Gregory forced his way inside the home, he came upstairs shouting that he was an ICE agent and needed to see their paperwork. The criminal complaint says Gregory then pulled out a pocket knife and threatened to stab a juvenile. Quote, as he began to steal his PlayStation console and controllers. Gregory forcibly ripped juvenile number one cell phone out of his hands and the two began to fight. Juvenile number one eventually punched Gregory in the face and knocked him unconscious, which was how he was when officers arrived on scene. William Gregory is charged with ethnic intimidation and burglary. He remains in the Allegheny county jail.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dropping a clues bomb for juvenile number one. Okay, 17 year old boy who protected his family. Okay. William Gregory came in there and prison impersonating an ICE agent, wielding a pocket knife, trying to steal a PlayStation and the young man's cell phone. Personally, I don't think the 17 year old was fighting for his family. I think he was squabbling for his technology.

[DJ Envy]

He was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You try to take a 17 year old's PlayStation and his cell phone, that's his soul, that's his whole reason for breathing. I promise you. William might have let you steal anything else in that house. I mean that young man might have let William steal anything else in that house. House. But for his cell phone and PlayStation, he's running all fates. Okay, but back to the moral of the story. William Gregory was impersonating an ICE agent. Because ICE is running around looking and acting like thugs. All right? That's why it's so easy to impersonate them as well. You in plain clothes and mask looking like every other stick up kid and jackboy out here. How are we supposed to know you official and you want to give them power to forcibly enter homes to make arrests without a judicial warrant. The problem with that type of power is it won't be used on just, just so called criminals with warrants. It will be used on everyday citizens. Okay? This is America, people, where a lot of us believe in the Second Amendment. 2A all day. If a masked individual in plain clothes tries to forcibly enter into your home and you have a gun, what do you think is going to happen? What if that 17 year old had a pistol? What do you think would have happened to William Gregory? He would have got popped for that PlayStation, okay? He would have got clapped for that cell phone. All right, listen to all of you people sitting around thinking impersonating an ICE agent is a good idea. You. You think that's the way to hit a lick? You gonna die, okay? Go get a job. Go learn a trade. And ICE agents, y' all need something to better identify yourselves when interacting with the public. You need visible ID and credentials. You need name and agency labels. You need marked vehicles that play ice. ICE baby when y' all roll up, okay? Y' all have to identify yourselves because you have people like William Gregory out here impersonating y'. All. And when someone like William gets shot and killed, I don't want you all to say he got shot and killed because someone thought they were ice. No, it's because he's a masked person in plain clothes trying to break into my house. That's why he got shot. And if you're impersonating an ICE agent and you're trying to rob people, you deserve the bully. Please give William Gregory the biggest he haw. And I know we live in a country where the President Donald Trump is saying things like sometimes you need a dictator. Usually they say he's a horrible dictator type person. I'm a dictator.

[DJ Envy]

But sometimes you need a dictator.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I know that. You know, ICE agents are being told they can forcibly enter your home without. Without a warrant to make arrests. But this is still America. Democracy and and institutions are being threatened in ways we've never seen. But the Constitution still matters. And the good brother Bakari Sellers. Denmark, South Carolina Zone Dropping the clues Bombs for Bakari Sellers he was asked about ICE officers being able to enter homes without a judge's warrant and is that legal? And for anybody who wants accurate information, here you go.

[Caller/Listener]

The fact is, the Constitution still matters. The rule of law still matters. ICE isn't above the law. If ICE comes to your home, they have to have a warrant to enter your premises. We don't live in this totalitarian military run society where law enforcement can come in without probable cause, can come in without a warrant, can come in simply because of who they think you may be. We've seen instances where people were drugged out of their homes naked. ICE has a problem. And unfortunately, there's no leadership for from Kristi Noem. And so my goal and hope is that we start impeachment proceedings on Kristi Noem asap, because ICE is abusing the law.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The more you know.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I think Donald Trump is responsible for Winter Storm. Fern.

[DJ Envy]

Did he set that up?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, he's like, he's like, look, ICE agents aren't enough of a distraction. We need real ice.

[DJ Envy]

Did you push the button, Harp?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He pushed the button.

[DJ Envy]

Pushed the button.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. All right. That's just my personal opinion, though.

[DJ Envy]

Well, thank you for that donkey today. The chat want to play a game?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't want to play again because I don't even know who. William Gregory. I didn't see his picture.

[Hilarious]

I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

I think we could figure it out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I don't think it was in the chat. Is saying. Sounds like a lot of mayonnaise. They're saying, yeah, on the caucus mountains.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know y' all might think that, but I don't know that to be.

[DJ Envy]

Sounds very milky. That's what the chat is saying.

[Hilarious]

Definitely does. I, I sense white, too.

[DJ Envy]

Somebody says Betty White.

[Hilarious]

I sense juvenile one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not saying he's not. I just don't.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Up next, just fix my mess. 800-585-1051. Relationship issues, problems, Anything like that?

[DJ Envy]

Danny, what's up?

[Hilarious]

Good morning.

[Caller]

What's up, man? I'm calling from Miami. What's going on, guys?

[DJ Envy]

What's up, brother? What's your question?

[Caller]

So I've been having issues with my baby mama. I was with her for like six years, on and off. Always would break up because of her decisions. So she split up with me now because she said she's trying to find herself, she's trying to be happy and all that stuff. All she's really doing is going out, posting herself at the club, posting herself at the gym. And I get it, you know, you gotta do stuff to be happy, but I just don't. I don't know what to do. I want to get back with her, but that's not making me want to.

[State Farm Announcer]

Get back with her.

[Hilarious]

Okay, so y' all not together right now, but you want to get. You do want to get back with her, and she is saying to you she wants to get back with you too, but she's a little bit of a party animal.

[Caller]

Correct. She's not saying she must get back right now. She says at the moment she doesn't want to get back together.

[Hilarious]

She says she doesn't.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Hilarious]

Okay, so you can't. Y' all can't. If she's saying that she doesn't want to get back together, what is she blaming that on? She's saying she's trying to find herself. You said. Cuz you're, you're going in and out. I can't really hear you.

[Caller Juicy]

Correct.

[Caller]

Hold up. Give me one second.

[Hilarious]

Because it's noisy in your background a little bit.

[DJ Envy]

Take your Bluetooth.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, sorry.

[Caller]

Can you hear me better now?

[Hilarious]

Yeah, I can hear you better now. So you said that she's basically trying to find herself. She's trying to be happy by herself, right?

[Caller]

Correct. Correct.

[Hilarious]

And from your standpoint, you see it as just her going out, partying, not really doing anything with her life, I guess, to better herself. Like you just see her as a party animal, Correct?

[State Farm Announcer]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Like I'm paying child support. I'm trying to be there as much as I can for my kids, but she doesn't really make it easy for me.

[Hilarious]

How doesn't she make it easy for you? Because now this is a new part problem.

[Caller]

So, like, every time I want to go see him, it's always like, oh, no, I'm doing something, or we're not home and stuff like that. And I ask her to send me pictures and call me on FaceTime to see the kids, and she just. She kind of blows me off and doesn't even answer me.

[Hilarious]

When's the last time you saw your kids?

[Caller]

Well, I just had them last weekend. Obviously when it's my weekend, I get to see him, but. Okay, this, this weekend is the last.

[Caller Juicy]

Time I saw him.

[Hilarious]

Okay, so you. Y' all have assistant set up where you see the kids every other weekend.

[Caller Juicy]

Correct.

[Hilarious]

Okay. And have, has she ever. Have you ever missed a weekend on her account?

[Caller]

Never missed a weekend.

[Hilarious]

Okay, so what it sounds like is you do want to get back with her, but she is not interested in a relationship with you right now. Yeah. And you're kind of projecting that onto you co parenting with her now. She's not obligated to get back with you. Okay, I know it may hurts her. Yeah, I know. It hurts, you know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But.

[Hilarious]

But it could be what you see her doing out in the clubs and all that, that could really be her outlet. Like, was she like that before?

[Caller]

That's the thing. She wasn't like that before.

[Angela Yee]

Right.

[Hilarious]

So that's the thing, you know? Cause she was in a relationship and she was focused on being faithful and what have you. But, you know. How old is she?

[Caller]

She's 26.

[Hilarious]

How old are you?

[Caller]

26 as well.

[Hilarious]

Okay. Yeah. So she's in her 20s, you know, let her go out and let her have fun. If she's not putting your kids in any danger, if she's not putting herself in any danger, you know what I mean? Like, to be taken away from the kids or anything like that. She's not, you know, I think she's fine. I think it's fine. Let her live her life. I just think you're going through the motions of rejection a little bit. She doesn't want to be with you, but you want to be with her. Why did y' all break up? I'm sorry.

[Caller]

So basically just because she said she wasn't happy with herself and she felt like we were roommates. I was the one providing. I was the one working and stuff.

[State Farm Announcer]

Stuff.

[Caller]

And this always happens around the same time of the month. I mean, at the same time of the year. After six years, she's. She hasn't been unfaithful. We always break up because of, you know, she wants to go do herself, but then she comes crying back and, you know, I take her back because I want to be with my family.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Hilarious]

It just sounds like, you know, she got some growing up to do, you know? And you may have some growing up to do, too, because I know you're not perfect either, you know? Yeah, absolutely. I. I think. How many kids y' all got, too? Yeah, I. I think she's just going through a phase right now. Let her do that. Like you said, this happens every. Every year or whatever, and then you take her back. It's no infidelity, nothing there. It's. It's just. Y' all gotta sit down and come to a. Resolve about it, you know, because obviously the kids are okay. It sounds like the kids are okay. Y' all just need to figure out how to move forward amicably, like two adults that's willing to raise the children together with no drama, you know? And you can't do that if you feel like she's playing games with your heart because she wants you sometimes, and sometimes she don't. And she can't do that if you are pressuring her to be in a relationship with her. You know what I'm saying? So y' all just gotta sit down and figure that out. But y' all Both are young. 26 is not old at all. Y' all is. Y' all got a few more years until y' all actually do grow all the way up. But this is not the worst. It's not the worst. Worse. You know, she just don't want you right now, gang. I'm sorry.

[Caller/Listener]

Nah.

You've been working in the garage with your dad every week, Monday to Sunday, trying to get the old school up and running. Today, after all the hard work, y' all finally finished it. So you have that feeling of accomplishment. You did it. Then your dad throws you the keys and says those three magic words. All yours, son. Yep. That same car belonged to your grandpa and that your dad helped him fix. It's yours. Three generations right there, keeping the tradition alive. But if you ask dad to really keep the tradition going, you need to get insurance. And you already know you need to get State Farm because your agent, well, he gets tradition, too. His dad was an agent his grandpa took, too, so he gets you generation to generation. Remember to choose the agents that your family counted on. Like a good neighbor. State Farm is there.

[Caller]

I mean, at this point, I've accepted it. I. I gotta do myself and just be there for my kids as much as I can.

[Hilarious]

Absolutely. That's what you gotta do. And if she's not keeping them from you, I mean, a little facetime here and there, she misses it or whatever, she not responding.

You know? Know.

[Caller]

Yeah, 100%.

[DJ Envy]

Good luck, bro.

[Hilarious]

Good luck.

[Caller]

I appreciate it.

[DJ Envy]

Now we have Deontay on the line. Did I say your name right?

[Caller]

Yeah, man.

[DJ Envy]

Why you laughing?

[Hilarious]

I was sure.

[DJ Envy]

I want to make sure I say your name right, bro.

[Caller]

You said it out proper. And Deontay.

[DJ Envy]

Deontay. I was supposed to say it. D D Paul.

[Hilarious]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

Well, anyway, he needs some co parenting.

[Caller]

That's what I go by.

[DJ Envy]

D. I'm not calling you D, bro. He needs some co parenting advice. Of course. You got the book coming out April 20th. If you could preorder now. So what's your. What's your question?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

D Auntie.

[Caller]

What up, Jess? Yeah, no, I got. Got a couple co parents issues, but I just want to tackle one, though.

[Hilarious]

Okay.

[Caller]

My son, he 5 years old. He'll be 5 this year. I quadra actually shot him out of birthday one day to me. But me and his mom ain't staying eye to eye on visitation. I was sending her child support without the courts. She thought she was gonna get more. She went through the courts. They gave her the same amount I was getting. They gave me weekends, every other weekend. Shane trying to meet me on the weekend. She ain't trying to, like, co parent the right way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sometimes.

[Caller]

She sent my son with her mom for like four or five days. But then when I asked to get them for two weeks, I couldn't get them during the holiday or whatever. So the court's saying I'm supposed to get these days. And then when I call and contact the court, they really like, well, it's in the right and she gotta do that. But then they don't try to. So my thing is, and we don't have no long relationship, but ain't no bad history or nothing like that. It was just pandemic babies happened and, you know, we cool, whatever case may be.

[DJ Envy]

Stop cursing.

[Caller]

My bad, my bad. My thing is, like, what is her issue with me not getting my son?

[Hilarious]

Well, you don't really. I hate to say this, so you met her in the pandemic, y' all had sex and then, you know, she had a baby and that's it.

[Caller/Listener]

Correct.

[Hilarious]

Okay. So you don't really know her. You know what I mean? Like that. That's what happens, you know what I mean? When you. And I'm sure you've heard this from somebody in your life before that you probably complained to about this situation. You got to be careful who you create people with, who you produce with, because you didn't know her. Y' all were looking for, you know, some temporary relief, sexual relief during the pandemic, and then a Baby came of it your son.

[Caller]

And that's my thing though. I'm a good dad. I got custody of my 14 year old daughter. Like she gets jealous and be like, well, you do X, Y and Z for your daughter. I'm like, yeah, but when you went to the courts and asked for the course for payment, that stopped me from buying him anything outside of the course.

[Hilarious]

So yeah, because you know what, a lot of women, they'll do that, right? They, a lot of women will feel like, oh, he's not giving me enough and go through the course and end up getting less or the exact amount that they were getting before and now they're asked out and. But, and it's hard, it's easy to put somebody on child support. It's hard to get them off, right? But what you gotta do, you got. Because the system is not fair to dads already. And I'm a firm believer in that. This system is not set up for y' all to win no type of way at all. Especially when it comes to your child. You gotta stay on their ass. Just like I'm pretty sure she's staying on. They asked and make sure that you get. You, you give her that money that you already giving her before she took you downtown. Oh, well, that's what they call it downtown. Took you down the child support support. You gotta stay on their ass too. You really do. I'm talking about calling every week, every day if you have to, because she's technically violating the order. So you got to take her ass to court.

[Caller]

You know, they know me by name, first and last name. Literally I call every day. But this is my thing though, man. If as a man and just for DJ Envy and Charlemagne, if you get a child support for your child, but then you see that the fund is not going to your child. And when your child come with children, you, you and your other child is dressed to the part. But then, yo, your other child that's coming with you ain't dressed up, then you got to go buy stuff. But then the judge like, yeah, don't buy nothing. So how do I go about that? Do I just let my son look dress down and me and his sister looking nice and he ain't.

[Hilarious]

No, no, you don't do that. You do what's necessary for your son. But I'm, I'm telling you, you have to take her.

[Caller]

But that benefits the baby mama because she getting what she wants because she's not using the money to pay to take care of him. Far as like his clothes and stuff. She using it for bills instead of using it on him.

[Hilarious]

Well, at this point, you got to fight for something different now. You got to go to court, you got to fight for custody. Like, you have to, like you. You just got to play that court game, cuz y' all already down there. You know what I mean? You like, what, What? Have y' all ever had a civilized conversation before we even got here? Have y' all ever talked or like, have you talked?

[Caller]

Yes, we had a conversation and then we stayed like an hour and a half away. So that was the problem. She had me coming and going to pick him up, but then she didn't want to meet me halfway, so that's the issue. Then the court ordered her to meet me halfway and she still ain't agree with it. But we had a conversation. I told her exactly what I wanted as far as like, trying to be in my son life and like, have an effect on his life.

[Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Caller]

I'm saying he got sisters that he around and there's other females and I'd rather just have him around me to be a little bit more, you know what I'm saying? Manly. Even though he's not like, any way. But I just want to make sure it ain't gonna go that way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Caller]

And like, nothing is working. Like, we had a conversation, we talked about, told her exactly what I wanted and like, she disregards that. Or like, for instance, like, I can reach out and try to call to talk to him and she won't answer or call me back. Or she's not with him. She won't text me like, hey, I'm not with him, I'm not around him, or none of that. So my, my thing is, like, you gotta be bitter at this point because, because what is stopping you from having your son have an interaction with his dad?

[Hilarious]

Yeah. How old is she?

[Caller]

37.

[Hilarious]

Damn. How old are you?

[Caller]

I'm 36.

[Hilarious]

Okay, well, you know, I, I know you're not perfect either.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't.

[Hilarious]

I hate to take just one side, but I have to take for what you're telling me for that to be true. You know, I, I, like I said, yo, you got to stay in them courts. That's just what it is. And then. And that issue with the clothes and all that. Buy some stuff and keep it at your house. Like, you don't gotta send it. You know what I'm saying? I buy it and keep it at your house.

[Angela Yee]

For real.

[Hilarious]

Just keep, keep.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me ask you one more.

[Hilarious]

Send him back with his mother, with the same stuff that he came on. I mean, that he came to you with.

[Caller]

That's what everybody keeps telling me to do that, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know.

[Caller]

I just want my son to want more. My only son only got two kids.

[Angela Yee]

You know what I'm saying?

[Caller]

I want to make sure they got everything.

[Hilarious]

But you got to play the same game that they playing in the courts. Trust me. Stay on they ass. Stay.

[Caller]

I appreciate the advice. Let me get one of them books, man. When they come out. I pre order.

[Hilarious]

You can pre order right now. Go to my website, Jess, official.com or anywhere else you get books. Barnes and Nobles, where at all. Whatever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

LL Cool baby talk to me. Just do that low.

[Hilarious]

All right, y'.

[Mimi Brown]

All.

[Angela Yee]

So Travis Scott has responded to Pusha T. So when Pusha T and Malice were on the rollout for the clips, they talked or Pusha T talked a lot about his issues with Travis Scott. B. Because in the song so be it, he takes a very clear shot at Travis Scott. Let's take a listen. Pusha T was here, and he actually explained his issue. Let's take a listen. Travis Scott. I'm sorry. Pusha T on the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

And what pissed you off about Travis Scott so much that you had to mention him on the record? What made you say this going too far? You know, he came to Paris during one of our sessions, played his album, and then he, you know, when he left, the album comes out and, you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Know, the record that he played, you.

[DJ Envy]

Know, had a verse up there that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was, you know, going at P or whatever the case may be.

[Hilarious]

And I'm like, damn, you just left.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Left.

[DJ Envy]

How you leave here, you know, let. He was on your album, and then.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You'Re letting them, you know, play your album for him.

[DJ Envy]

You're filming it, and then you come back when the album drops, you got.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A verse, you know, going at him.

[DJ Envy]

So I just thought that was corny. That's the type of thing that happens over in that yay world. And it's okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't like that that was brought into this fold.

[Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

One time they said the verse, the Drake verse wasn't done as of yet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Doesn't matter when it was done.

[DJ Envy]

Should have reached out.

[Hilarious]

You added to it.

[DJ Envy]

You actually.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He actually had a verse after that verse. Like, so what's proper etiquette for a situation like that?

[Hilarious]

Just stay the hell away from me.

[Angela Yee]

So Travis Scott is talking to rolling stone in a written article. There's video as well too, because they're touring this huge mansion that is owned by the owner of or is being sold by the owner, oakley. And Travis Scott says that he's basically pushing back against everything he says. When you look back at it, it's crazy. Said I had a film crew with me. I'm like, what? I remember when I pulled up, it was them who had the film crew. I'm talking about. About the little microphone on the stick and all of that. So he thought. He says that he thought he was in a documentary because he claims push a t and pharrell or whoever on that side was filming. So then on the not playing Drake's verse to them on that meltdown song, he says that the verse hadn't come in at that point. And he says a lot of stuff that push it to your stand just doesn't make any sense to him. It's like saying he's like him saying that he was interrupting their session and he asked the question, travis Scott, how is he interrupting something when he was invited to there. And then the last line on this that he drops is a direct shot back. If you have to drop Trav's name for the rollout, then so be it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, the next question from rolling stone should have been, well, once the verse came in, why didn't you let p know?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, why did you reach out since you were at their session? Since y were cool, you know?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. That should have been the very next question from rolling stone. Like, I. You can't just let Travis get that off.

[Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cuz there was a whole nuanced explanation as to why pushy t didn't rock with Travis. It was because the verse came in. He was disenfer Terrell and he was like, yo, you should have gave him a heads up.

[Hilarious]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why didn't you give him a heads up once the verse came in?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And rumor has it pushes back in the studio too. I don't know what that means.

[Hilarious]

Yeah, I reached out yesterday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When is he not in the studio?

[Angela Yee]

Well, I reached out yesterday, and they really never, ever give a statement on anything. But I did reach out to Pusha T's team to see if they were going to respond to this at all. So maybe that's where we'll get that response.

[DJ Envy]

I heard he's back in the studio. That's all. That's all I'm gonna say.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

In other news, speaking of back and forth, Versus announced yesterday that we have another one coming. So they're going to be doing a Producers Versus. This is the return of the producers. Mike will made it versus hit boy. This is taking place on January 30th, and you can stream it live on Apple Music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So haven't Hit Boy and Mike Will may have done the verses already? Am I making that up? I feel like they have.

[DJ Envy]

I think they did it early on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I think they did it really early.

[DJ Envy]

And before Versus really got big, when it was just. Just online and it was kind of cloudy and distorted, I think early on. But I don't think they did a national one. So I guess this is it.

[Angela Yee]

I'm looking at.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah, this a Hit Boy. This Boy Wonder before.

[Angela Yee]

So not the two facing off.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Angela Yee]

All right. So, yeah, that'll be happening on January 30. Any predictions?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I have no idea.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know the catalog well enough.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah, I didn't say that they did it against each other before. I said they both done it before.

[DJ Envy]

Yes, they both done it before for you?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

I'm not. I don't know both of their catalogs.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I would have to dive into it very. Baby, Both of them have very thorough catalogs.

[Angela Yee]

Insanely, I was going through some of the catalogs on both sides just to, like, see. It's going to be a tough, tough decision.

[DJ Envy]

It'll be fun.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, it will be. So you can tune into that via Apple Music. Now we're gonna switch gears a bit. I'm trying this again today. We're gonna go to some white people news now. Now in white people news, Shake it off.

[DJ Envy]

Shake it.

[Angela Yee]

I'm sorry. Well, we will talk about her, maybe. But first, I want to start with Sex in the City. So Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Carrie Bradshaw, and Chris noth, who plays Mr. Big, they've had this, like, ongoing back and forth, this beef because Chris Noth was accused of sexual assault by three women. And back in 2022, he's denied those claims and he feels unsupported. And now he's talking about it. So he sat down with care. May Kara Mayer Robinson on really Famous and says that the casters supported him better. Let's take a look.

[Mimi Brown]

Everybody's wondering if you and Sarah Jessica.

[Angela Yee]

Parker are friends or have part ways.

[Mimi Brown]

I think is what it is.

[Caller/Listener]

No, I think that's pretty obvious.

[Hilarious]

Why is that obvious?

[Caller/Listener]

Well, mostly the statement that they put out, which was nothing more than brand management. No, it was sad, it was disappointing, it was surprising because you need to call me and hear my side of this. You've known me for many years and we've worked for many years and that didn't happen. So when that statement came out, which is nothing more, more than brand management and I get it, that's more Hollywood than Hollywood. But before you make that statement, you know me, you've known me all these years, give me a call so I can give you the real scoop about this. And that didn't happen and that was too bad. And what's gained is good. You know where people stand and you know who your real friends are and who they're not. And that's important to know. I just know that if it had been on the other foot, I would have, I wouldn't have done that. So that was hurtful and it really affected everybody. Everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's very fair. But I wonder if that's more so on the corporation or the network than the actual actors and actresses on the show. Because the corporation and the network is going to care about the show and how the show is perceived. Like your personal friendships with actors and actresses is different.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Yes, to answer your question, but because what happened was when he came back for and just like that, which is the sequel of Sex in the City, he was killed off in the first, the very first like premiere episode. And of course people already know that it was because of these allegations. So I definitely think it was a brand move.

[Hilarious]

But I don't know.

[Angela Yee]

I don't agree. Like, I think that if it were me, I would call, I would pick up the phone and call. I don't know if I would like publicly like speak out, but I guess you're put in a position because where you make your money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I think he's conflating the two though. Like, like, like I said, the network and the corporate side of it is going to do what they got to do to protect the whole brand of Sex in the City or whatever the spin off show was called. But your personal relationship with actors and actresses are just different because the actors and actresses have any quotes in that statement?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, well, not, no, not directly. They all posted like this same statement, it says, we are deeply saddened to hear the allegations of Chris Noth. We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it must be very difficult. Must be a very difficult thing to do. We commend them for it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, they came out and said they supported the women.

[Angela Yee]

That's why he's upset. And that's what I'm saying. If it were me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So the actors and actresses from the show, actually.

[Angela Yee]

So Sarah Jessica Parker among. There were two. Sarah Jessica Parker and two other actresses. I'll pull up their names, too. That posted that. That's his issue. And that's what I'm saying. You can support the victims, but you can also kind of step back and wait to see what happens because. Or at least reach out to him and say, hey, what's going on? Like, I would have just handled that a bit differently if I was there. Jessica Parker. But, you know, hey. Yeah, that's all the white people news I got for y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Angela Yee]

Y' all like that one today.

[Caller Juicy]

I don't know if Sex in the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

City is technically white people news, though.

[Angela Yee]

Why not?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because everybody watches Sex in the City.

[DJ Envy]

It is, though. You should have said Vanna White. Vanna White just got married. You know, Vanna White is.

[Angela Yee]

Yes, I know who Vanna White.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know who Vanna White is. And that's a hell of a story because she's 68 years old. Who the hell married Vanna White at 68? No, I'm not saying that that's a bad thing. I'm just saying I would like to know, was the guy older, was the guy younger? Like, that's a different type of conversation. And once again, Wheel of Fortune is in everybody's household.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Hilarious]

Well, to close out some black people news, Ryan Coogler just made record breaking, man. Listen, Ryan Cougar.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is it black people news because you can't read? Yeah, that's. That's what it is.

[Angela Yee]

They're rolling out right now.

[Hilarious]

Yeah, man. So 16? Because at first it said 15, but it just popped, you know, it said 16.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is big. I mean, this is big because it's never happened before. It's not. It's unprecedented. Like you. I mean, a film has never gotten 16 nominations.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that's why.

[Angela Yee]

That's why.

[Hilarious]

That's why I couldn't read it. I was so excited.

[DJ Envy]

You were so excited.

[Hilarious]

I was like, yo, hold up. Where do I start?

The people in the chat was saying 15, and then when I searched it, it said 16. I'm like, damn, I ain't for them too.

[Angela Yee]

No, no, no. There's been predictions. I saw a story Last probably like 3, 4 days ago on Variety that they were predicting for this to happen for 16 nominations. Yes. That they were predicting for this to happen for Centers.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

One battle after another.

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Delroy Lindo for said. This is good, man. This is good. This is good. This is good. But now y' all gonna care about the Oscars. Let me tell you how funny y' all are. Y' all some funny now, cuz. Let them not win. We don't care about Oscars anyway. This the problem with the Oscars, you know, I don't know why y' all want their validation, but when they get announced, everybody like, wow, big. But then when they lose, we don't need they validate nomination, man. Shut up. Yes. This is good that they got nominated, and we want to see them win. And it's not because they need the validation. It's because. Why not?

[Angela Yee]

It's because they deserve it.

[DJ Envy]

They deserve it, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I still haven't seen all other movies, though. You've seen.

[Angela Yee]

You've seen Sinners, and you've seen one battle after another.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but that's. It's five movies.

[Angela Yee]

Okay, well, cut it out, Blind Theory.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I like Sinners. You know, I mean, but I haven't seen the rest of these films, so I have no idea.

[DJ Envy]

Now, Charlamagne, you got a positive note?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, man. I want to talk to y' all about loyalty, okay? Loyalty is the strongest goofy blue, which makes a relationship last a lifetime, okay? And loyalty is not just about being there for someone. It's about being there for them even when they are not there for you, which I know is a struggle for a lot of us, okay? But I always say, man, God's not going to judge you based off how people treat you. He's going to judge you based off how you treat people. Have a blessed day. Breakfast Club. Hollywood is buzzing.
