So dress appropriately if you're on the East Coast. And we were just talking behind the scenes. They're saying a winter storm is supposed to be hitting the south and the east this weekend. And when did they start naming storms? Like, usually they name tornadoes, they name hurricanes.

[Mimi Brown]

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Just Hilarious]

Good morning.

[Mimi Brown]

It's. It's nice here. It's like.

[DJ Envy]

All right, all right, never mind. Wait, wait.

[Mimi Brown]

[Lauren LaRosa]

[Mimi Brown]

Sorry, y'.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All.

[Mimi Brown]

So I don't know about cold as Alaska, but.

[Caller/Listener]

All right.

[Mimi Brown]

Well, we start this morning in Minnesota, where the Justice Department is now issuing grand jury subpoenas to top state and city officials as part of a federal immigration probe. Now, those subpoenas, they are tied to a Trump era crackdown on immigration. Federal prosecutors, they are now demanding records, emails and communications to determine whether local leaders try to block or interfere with immigration enforcement. Now, those those served include the governor, the attorney general, the mayor of the two cities largest. The two states largest c. Now, one of them, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry, he's been ordered to appear in court early next month. Now, he's calling this political retaliation and says the federal government is using its power to intimidate local leaders. This comes as law enforcement. They are also raising red flags. In a rare move yesterday, police chiefs from across the Twin Cities, they came together to raise concerns about behavior of ICE agents operating in their communities. Now, officers, they say they've received multiple complaints from residents and even their own officers saying ICE agents are stopping people of color at traffic stops and on the street, demanding proof of citizenship with no cost. Now, with no cause. Now, the police chief, he's describing an off.

[R. Truth]

He's.

[Mimi Brown]

He's describing, excuse me, an officer, a black woman who was involved with one of these stops. Let's listen to what he had to say.

[DJ Envy]

When they boxed her in, they demanded her paperwork, of which she's a US.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Citizen and clearly would not have any paperwork.

[DJ Envy]

When she became concerned about the rhetoric and the way she was being treated, she pulled out her phone in an attempt to record the incident, the phone was knocked out of her hands, preventing her from recording it.

[R. Truth]

The officer had their guns drawn during this interaction.

[Mimi Brown]

So the officer eventually identified herself as a police officer. And that's when she says the agents left no citation, no apology, and no explanation. And this isn't the first time that we're hearing that ICE has been accused of racially profiling in Minnesota. The newly elected Asian mayor of St. Paul, Callie her, she says that she raised this concern directly to Congress last weekend. Let's hear what she told lawmakers during a field hearing. I sit before you today a newly sworn in mayor of a city under siege by the federal government.

[DJ Envy]

The tragic effect of this occupation are.

[Mimi Brown]

Rippling far and wide throughout our communities. We've received reports of federal law enforcement officers going door to door asking people where the Asian people live right in.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Our very own city.

[Mimi Brown]

I myself have received advice to carry my passport with me because they may try to target me based on what.

[DJ Envy]

I look like as well. So it doesn't matter if you're undocumented or an illegal immigrant or, you know, the undocumented person committing a crime, if you just. It is racially profiling you and snatching you up.

[R. Truth]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

That's exactly what people are saying. And so that's what's happening. And so she gave testimony in front of two, two or more dozen lawmakers who were there to hear how federal immigration crackdowns, how they are hitting local communities. And one by one, officials and residents, they described fear and confusion and that people are feeling as ICE agents are there, their presence is heavy within their neighborhoods. Now, ice, of course, they are denying this. They said that they are targeting only the worst of the worst. But people in those communities, they say that is not true. And then when you have a police officer herself who spoke at that press conference yesterday saying that she has been targeted by ICE officers, you heard they surrounded her vehicle, demanded to see her papers, which she's an American citizen and she did not have. And they clearly left her alone after she said she was an officer. So they're doing that to police officers. They're asking what are they doing to the everyday American people out there in Minnesota right now.

[DJ Envy]

Lord have mercy.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, so. Oh, and one more thing. Officials say filing official complaint has been nearly impossible because agents, you know, they have those face masks on and most don't have a name tag. So they are. You know, there's still some litigation tied up in court with how that may look going forward, but we will continue to follow that. And coming up at the 7, we're going to talk about the cost that you don't see on your receipt. So you're probably feeling a lot of extra payments coming up on your bill. When you check out at the at the grocery store, we'll tell you why that's happening and what you can do about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Call us up right now. Again, 1-800-585-1051 is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[R. Truth]

This is your time to get it off your chest.

[DJ Envy]

Keep calling.

[R. Truth]

[DJ Envy]

Hello? Who's this?

[Caller/Listener]

[DJ Envy]

[Caller/Listener]

Man. Everything from everything don't make no sense of people like the left and right, like they own us or something crazy. I wanted to call it on yesterday. That was my birthday. But, man, I need to do.

[DJ Envy]

You've seen them snatching up people like. Like what kind of people are they really? They racially profiling.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like they're saying they are first happy birthday, but go ahead.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, they are racist. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, they are racist profiling. And police chief yesterday at Bristol center was talking about it. So they was out there seeing it for their own self. That don't make no sense. 3 Police station up here and they're down on I case out of them too.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[Caller/Listener]

And my. And the mayor's alone people in their job.

[DJ Envy]

Let me ask you a question. I was listening to a woman named Georgie Fort on the Native Land podcast this morning. She's a local journalist in Minnesota. And she said that, you know, a lot of the elected officials like the mayor are doing a lot of grandstanding because they're actually complicit with ice. What do you think about that?

[Caller/Listener]

I don't know. I don't think so. Because the way mayor fly over there. No, no, no. And then the other mayor say Paul he really knew. So. And you know, she's not. No, they don't like this together. We are people up here. That's it. All we have. I've been here since 1997. I'm richly from Chicago. We don't do that up here.

[DJ Envy]

You got that shit now he just.

[Caller/Listener]

Thought of he being messy. That makes no sense. Because you can't go out your door. I'll see no people out there walking like an army.

[DJ Envy]

Are you nervous? No.

[Caller/Listener]

Didn't you just give me something? Chicago.

[DJ Envy]

What that got to do with anything? Chicago. People can get snatched up, too. Everybody swear. They said he can pretend.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, okay. They got a paddy wagon. Wheelchair bath me, and maybe they'll pick me. But guess what? I'm in a wheelchair.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know if them people care, but I. I hope I'm not wishing that on you, by the way. I hope not.

[Just Hilarious]

Well, you better not roll up. Stay in the house.

[Caller/Listener]

What? I like being in the house. And it's cold. It's so cold outside, y'. All. Why they outside? It's so cold. And that's what y' all need to. I know. Wait, wait. One more thing. They said they pulled a firearm in one building. Regardless, you run out the building, they arrest two women and a baby.

[DJ Envy]

Damn. I'm gonna be honest with you. It is crazy. I love you, but I'm so sick of acting like I can understand you, okay? Cause I was like, yo, how can I? Cause I know she going through something. So I was acting like I was listening, but I couldn't really understand. Did he get it?

[Just Hilarious]

And he was responding and was like.

[DJ Envy]

I can understand enough. All you gotta do is pay attention to, like, the first two. First word in the last word.

[R. Truth]

Wheelchair.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is your birthday.

[DJ Envy]

That's right. But, I mean, the gist of the conversation was that Ice is in Minnesota snatching all types of people up, and.

[Just Hilarious]

She in the wheelchair, so she ain't about to roll up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, probably, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's up?

[Caller/Listener]

You say you only got a couple Jadakiss tracks and it's supposed to be New York.

[DJ Envy]

I was thinking the same thing, but we a nationally syndicated show, so I ain't want to bring that up. But he is from New York City. Yeah, I am from New York.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't say in my laptop. I only got four records in the computer up here.

[DJ Envy]

And our music director from New York, her name is Simmer.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So the only four records they had in the system was the four that I named. But in my laptop, I got damn near every Jada Kiss record ever. But up here in the system, where we play music from, I mean, you guys have figured out that I don't pick the music.

[DJ Envy]

How are we gonna make it? Not in the system. We gonna make it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The only four records was. Why? It was Knock Yourself out, not yourself one. And it was.

[DJ Envy]

[Caller/Listener]

So three cats in the house. 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 shit. My girl wasn't talking back, but she wasn't deflecting it. Fast forward. When we just come back from vacation, right? Today, we had a big fight. She turned her location off and she left the crib. I drive her through her earbuds. My dude.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that's what every lesbian needs to understand. They didn't stop making roses when they made yours. Okay, now they got that lemon out there. Y' all know about that lemon?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Just Hilarious]

What is that?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, they got that lemon. That Nancy's limb. It's shaped like a lemon. You go look at them. Yeah, it's a lemon. Crazy. Y' all still playing with that rose. People out here with that lemon.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo.

[R. Truth]

He'S on the newish.

[DJ Envy]

This is crazy.

[Caller/Listener]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

Treating that couture like a shot at tequila nowadays.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

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

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning, y'.

[R. Truth]

All.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, girl.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, we do have the Latest with Lauren LaRosa coming up. So all everybody who was taking J. Cole off that big three, Jadakiss says put him back on there. He confirmed we got more music coming in. This. This true. This two track.

[DJ Envy]

Nobody ever took Jada. I mean, the other day. I did not say that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You say he can't come back outside because he got out of there.

[DJ Envy]

You don't listen. He can't be number one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Number one.

[DJ Envy]

He said nobody ever took him out the big screen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Maybe that's the conversation we should have today, because a lot of people have been talking about it. Some people feel the same, and I feel the same.

[DJ Envy]

He's still nice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He gets busy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, they go back and forth about everything, but you can't. Yeah, but we going to talk about it, cuz. Jadakiss said he. He's hurt.

[DJ Envy]

Can't be number one back like that. It's so weird. Fat Joe said the same thing I said the other day. Like, I don't know why people act.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what?

[DJ Envy]

I don't like talking to people who don't know hip hop. So whatever.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You'll hear from Jada, Kiss and JCole.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We'Ll get to it. Next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

You'll talk.

[Lauren LaRosa]

LL Cool B. Yeah, I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Little brown girls look at you and.

[Mimi Brown]

Go, I want to be like you.

[DJ Envy]

Take me through that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Take me through there.

[DJ Envy]

The latest with Lauren Wilson. Take me through there on a Breakfast Club. LL Cool Bag. Talk to me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just side note, Lauren and I will be in North Carolina this weekend. Hopefully if we can get out of this nasty ass.

[DJ Envy]

Battle ain't going nowhere. Battle of the bands. If it's 20 inches of snow supposed to hit on the East Coast, Yo.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I've been thinking about that and. Because if we get down there, we're gonna be stuck.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm gonna make it, mama.

[R. Truth]

Make it back.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Why are you making it back? Take me the jet, whatever money you got going on, please take me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I ain't going. We'll be driving back.

[Just Hilarious]

We all want that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, I'm just joking. I'm just trusting you with my life.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

North Carolina.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, North Carolina.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, y'.

[R. Truth]

All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, I can't hear myself, but all right. So we're going to start off with Joe and Jada. So Joe and Jada sat down in their podcast and they had a conversation. They were beginning to talk about, like, music and streams and new music. And Jadakiss brought up the fact and he let us know that confirmed. Because it was speculated that J. Cole has more music coming than just the Fall Off. And he says he's using some of the locks. Beats, let's take a listen.

[DJ Envy]

Shout out to J. Cole. He got project coming out called the Fall off. And he got a mixtape where he used some of the locks. He rhymed over money, power, respect. And he rhymed over Cannot live. Killed him. Cole is coming back in a major way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We look at him the same, being that they screwed his head off, the big three.

[DJ Envy]

Here is bars. All of that don't matter. He's coming crazy.

[R. Truth]

They screwed his head off, the big three.

[DJ Envy]

I don't like that terminology. So give me A pass. But they better screw his back going at the. Listen, let me tell you something. No matter what you call it, all about the music, you going off the Internet. Let me now.

[R. Truth]

I'm not going off the Internet.

[DJ Envy]

I'm talking heads. Got to go back on where I'm.

[R. Truth]

Talking about hip hop, the bars, and.

[DJ Envy]

The power of the people in the street made all of that irrelevant. It's all in the music. You talk about knocking them out the park and this and that, that and this.

[R. Truth]

I gotta hear it.

[DJ Envy]

He got some. You gotta remember, Fat Joe speaks in extremes.

[Podcast Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Because nobody ever screwed J. Cole's head off the Big Three. The reality is there is no big Three no more. Because when the big three was supposed to engage, only two of them decided to engage. J. Cole engaged, and then he backed away. And so it was two. And then after the two, one reign supreme. And we know who that was. Mr. Kendrick Lavar.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. And like you said, JCole bowed out of that battle.

[DJ Envy]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're an MC. You're supposed to be ready for any type of smoke. Now, that doesn't take away his pen. It doesn't take away his catalog. It doesn't take his way, his consistency. But when it came to that battle, when it came to see who was number one during that time, he bowed out. That was his personal decision.

[DJ Envy]

And when he drops the fall off, the fall off is probably gonna be dope. Can wrap his ass off, and he can be your personal favorite, but when it comes to being number one and that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, why y' all sitting here acting like people not acting like J. Cole is a part of that big Three? Because of bound out of that battle. That is a thing that is actually happening.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, he's still part of the big Three.

[DJ Envy]

I don't think there's no big Three no more, period. As. As Kendrick said, there's no big Three. It's just big Me. Now, if you just want to be technical and say who have been the best of the last of the last 15 years, yes, that is still the three.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

That's it. But, but, but, but there's a clear number one, and his name is Kendrick Lamar. And. And I still got Drake at 2.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then also in that conversation, Fat Joe does talk about.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm about to get to it now. Let's. Let's talk. Let's listen to Fat Joe talking about and that. This whole conversation we're having right now.

[R. Truth]

J. Cole, I don't look at him the same. He ain't come outside. I don't look him the same.

[DJ Envy]

The sword is dull.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't care what he spit.

[R. Truth]

Cause I've been listening to him spitting. I always said he's one of the greatest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And all that is irrelevant to me.

[R. Truth]

When you talking all that gangster and they call you to the yard and you don't step outside, I can't look at you. That's like you seeing the dude who they always told you and you know, you always thought he was tough. And you see some other kingpin, some smack his cheek off and then mop bag and walk off.

[DJ Envy]

I don't give a if you lose.

[R. Truth]

I never forget Big Up J. Cole, the whole crew, North Carolina and all that. But he caught stage fright.

[DJ Envy]

Once again, Fat Joe speaks in extreme. I understand exactly what he's saying, what he said, I said, I told y' all this last week. It's really just that simple. If you say you numero uno. If you say you Muhammad Ali. But then when it comes time to engage, you engage. But then you step back a little bit. And when you did engage, it was like, it was subpar. I just don't want to hear that no more. That's why you said, I want to know what the fall off's gonna be about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All the biggest MCs and lyricists, when it came for smoke, they. They were ready for smoke. Whether you can go back from Nas to hov, you can go to any of those rappers that you just named, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, they all with the smoke.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Of rappers. This is a more healed era of rappers.

[DJ Envy]

With the hell on Drake.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But J. Cole said, but he said, right in his spirit.

[DJ Envy]

But that's cold, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, J. Cole also, he sat down for his first interview since, you know, giving us a look into the fall off. And he sat down with journalist Tim Hotep aku. And we got a little snippet of that. And talks about just the making of this two track too. Let's take a listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I remember writing songs. I remember those, like, how people remembered, like scoring game winning touchdowns. That was so much time spent downstairs in my crib in the studio while the kids are at school, sitting in one spot, like putting a puzzle together. So enjoyable to challenge myself. When I got to that second line, I didn't even know it was gonna be until I said, I persevered through the worst. My thirst to adhere was a curse. My life, I see it in reverse. My life, I see it in reverse, okay? And at that moment, I get scared. I get excited and scared simultaneously. I get Excited because I go, what if you could do this whole rhyme about your life story in reverse?

[DJ Envy]

I'm setting rules.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't cheat. You gotta keep. Persevere through the worst. You got to keep four syllables minimum.

[R. Truth]

What if?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I get excited because I'm like, oh, that'll be so amazing.

[R. Truth]

But then the fear comes to, like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Almost a voice of like, don't even try. Like, yo, why? Like, you know that's not possible. And then the other voice is like, yeah, but what if, though, I can leave or I could just take the mission.

[DJ Envy]

Did he credit Nas with inspiration anytime during that conversation?

[Just Hilarious]

I like how he broke.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's only a snippet. We haven't heard the full conversation. But not in a snippet. We have not. I didn't. He didn't get the Nas credit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Have you ever denied it? I'm just curious.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, I listened to it. J. Cole first dropped the disc two track two to. And I watched a video to just see the reference as well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I will say, I mean, this conversation. They act like jcole doesn't get busy and he's not nice. It's crazy to me because he's getting nice. He gets busy. They just made it seem like he went from top three to just number 89.

[DJ Envy]

Nobody said that. Who is you?

[Just Hilarious]

You are part of they. Because you still seem like, yo, you. Every time Cole is bought up, it's all about how he bowed out of this fight.

[DJ Envy]

Fight.

[Just Hilarious]

It's not about the fight.

[DJ Envy]

No. I'm gonna say this for the last time because I don't know why y' all like to miss. All I simply said was I want to know what the fall off is going to be about. Because if you spent the last few years telling everybody you numero uno and you Muhammad Ali and you want it with everybody, clearly the fall off is not going to be about him competing to be number one no more. Because when he had the opportunity to. To engage, he took a step back. So what is it going to be about? I'm interested to hear here.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm interested to hear too. And I'm interested to see the full reaction to, like, the whole project.

[DJ Envy]

It's probably gonna have a great reaction. Nobody ever said J. Cole can't rap. Nobody ever said he can't be dope. All we simply said was you can't be number one because you better.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Y' all know I saw Cameron posted a letter to Dane. You know how he drops his, like, bars before they go back into the season or episodes? Gotta Take a listen. He's not backing out. Being very honest. He talk about trying to save Dane from debt and a bunch of other things. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Charlotte made the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. What up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[Mimi Brown]

How y' all doing this morning?

[DJ Envy]

Peace, Mimi.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning. All right, so we start this hour with President Trump, who used Tuesday's White House briefing to mark one year into a second term and to defend his record ahead of his high stakes trip to Europe. Now, the president, he walked into the briefing room holding a thick binder labeled Accomplishments, flipping through the pages as he listed what he says his administration has delivered so far. At several points, he also held up photos of people arrested during federal immigration operations in Minnesota, describing them as some of the most serious offenders. Immigration, it quickly became a central theme. Trump acknowledged that federal agents, quote, make some mistakes sometimes. Comments that come after that fatal shooting of Renee Goode in Minneapolis earlier this month. Now, during his nearly two hour appearance, the president also made clear that he's frustrated with how the story is being told, saying too much attention has been paid to the confrontations between immigration agents and civilians and not enough about the allegations of fraud involving members of Minnesota's Somali American community. Let's listen to that frustration he voiced yesterday.

[R. Truth]

No, Minnesota, the crime is incredible. The financial crimes are incredible, and the problem is because of the agitators and insurrectionists. Whatever you want, troublemakers, but they're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree, but by Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people, they don't do it. Other people work it out and they get them money and they go out and buy Mercedes Benzes and they never had money, they never had a life, they never had a government, they never had a country. They come here and they become rich and they don't have a job.

[DJ Envy]

I don't expect anything from Donald Trump. Expect for him to be. Except for him to be Donald Trump. Jump. But, man, if he would have just showed a little bit of empathy in that moment and just simply said, what happened to Renee Good was horrible and we're investigating that ICE agent. I mean, something is.

[Mimi Brown]

He did call it a tragedy or something like that. He did call it a tragedy, but he did, you know, kind of move on from there.

[DJ Envy]

Right.

[Mimi Brown]

And then kind of skip into, you.

[DJ Envy]

Know, call for an investigation of the ICE agent, say, that's not the kind of behavior we want from our ICE agents. But the reason he's not gonna say that is because that wouldn't be true to him. He wants that type of behavior from them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that wouldn't be believable. That's not what he. To my. What it seems like he doesn't care about that. He cares more about the ICE agents and getting people deported than anything else. So why would he say that?

[Mimi Brown]

Now, this briefing, it was also meant to highlight the milestones, as I said, from Trump's first year in office, but it quickly turned into you know, him defending his record. He did touch on the economy, foreign policy, and NATO. But he argued that Americans, they are not giving him enough credit for his economic, economic progress, saying that on one point is that the poor messaging may be coming from his own team. But then he walked that back a little bit. And he also claimed that inflation prices are essentially gone, even though data shows that prices are still rising. Let's listen to what he had to say about that.

[R. Truth]

A lot of people are listening to the fake news a little bit, and I'm not blaming anybody. I think I, I blame ourselves. I think we've done a better, much, A much better job than we're able to promote. We're not promoting. We're doing a great job, and we're sort of letting the promotion take care of itself. One of the reasons I'm doing this news conference, I think it's important. We have taken a mess and made it really good. It's going to get even better. But if you look at prices from a year or a year and a half ago, you look at the Biden prices, they were way up through the sky. They created the affordability problem. And we are of. We are solving it. We have solved a lot of it. Everybody agrees in this room, I think gasoline prices have come, per gallon, way down. Many of the groceries have come way down. It's all happening, and it's happening strong.

[DJ Envy]

When the last time Donald Trump went shopping for groceries? Yeah, when the last time Donald Trump pumped gas? And the truth is everybody in Donald Trump's orbit is rich. So he's in a bubble. Like, he's in a bubble where he's watching everybody around him getting rich, including himself. You saw that New York Times article that said how Trump has used the presidency to personally make 1.4 billion already. So everybody around him is filthy rich. He thinks that's the whole country.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I will say that the gas price, the gas prices, gas prices did go down, but grocery prices are still up. As mother.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, like, man, people are broke.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but people are broke.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know what the hell y' all talking about. People are broke now.

[R. Truth]

They are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But gas prices went down. But grocery prices are still high.

[DJ Envy]

Is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know what.

[Mimi Brown]

And climbing. Envy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Mimi Brown]

You know, so. And as we just heard, you know, the President said that prices are coming down. We were just talking about that.

[DJ Envy]

But.

[Mimi Brown]

But when it comes to tariffs, the numbers are telling a very different story. So if you've noticed those higher prices at the grocery store, what we were just talking about a new report is confirming what you already basically know or have been feeling. Tariffs are not being paid by other countries like we've been told. They're being paid by us, the American people at the checkout. Now, a major economic analysis. It looked at the trillions of dollars in imported goods, and it found that 96% of those tariff costs, they fall on US companies and consumers, not the foreign exporters. So that means when the government imposes tariffs on things like electronics, clothes, tools, or household goods, the companies importing those items, usually they don't lower their prices to make up for it. They keep their prices the same. And it's the American businesses that get hit first. And then those businesses, they raise the prices to make the difference. And we're the ones that end up footing the bill. So while tariffs are often pitched as a way to punish other countries, in reality they're working more as, like, a hidden tax on your everyday purchases from the grocery aisle to the gas station. And just another really quick note, we're now waiting on the Supreme Court. There's a decision that could come down any day now that will decide on whether President Trump's tariffs were even legal in the first place. And that ruling would determine whether those tariffs stay in place or disappear and what that means for prices that Americans are paying going forward.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I will say this. I do the grocery shopping at the crib. Cause I can't let my wife do it because she'll buy all types of snacks we don't need. But when I go grocery shopping, I always see the prices of meat paws are up like a mother orange because I work with you. Fruit and vegetables. Yeah, those prices are up like crazy, too. Like, if you ever try to get bananas paws or lettuce paws or mushrooms or any type of vegetables or fruit, prices are stupid. And you know what's up to paper towels.

[Caller/Listener]

What?

[Just Hilarious]

Paper towels. All them cleaning products and all the stuff that you stock up. Paper towels, what is it? Toilet paper, bleach, Lysol, all of that. All them household products, they are high, fabuloso.

[Mimi Brown]

Everything.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, and the funny thing Mimi knows is there's actual data, there's government data that refutes everything Trump is saying. Like, this is the largest monthly jump in food prices since 2022. So regardless of if you're feeling it firsthand, experience, going to the grocery store, or you're just a numbers person, grocery prices are up, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[Mimi Brown]

Yes, they are up. And a lot of people are quoting the study because 96% of those tares, we're paying for 96%. So when the president says, oh, I'm imposing 200% on France for their champagnes and their wines, like, who's paying for that? The American people seem to be footing the bill for a lot of these tariffs. So when he's punishing other companies or countries, it's coming back to us. Really.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't play with Mimi wine and champagne.

[Mimi Brown]

Listen, I need it that 200%. I was like, wait a minute, what's happening? And lastly, shout out to Howard University, where I went to school. They are stepping up and diving a little bit deeper into AI education. So starting spring 2026, Howard is launching three new artificial intelligence courses that will be open to juniors and seniors from any major. The classes will focus on AI tools, ethics, and understanding of how technology is shaping the future. No coding experience is required. And the university. The leaders say the goal is to make sure students across all disciplines are ready for a workforce where AI is becoming part of just our everyday life.

[Just Hilarious]

Nice. That's dope.

[Mimi Brown]

Yes, Very, very important there. All right, y'.

Saying, my folks, man, I'm glad to see you, brother. You look like you can fight for real.

[Just Hilarious]

Hell, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Like, some wrestlers just be. No, for real. Some wrestlers just have the aesthetic. But you don't think they could probably do something in real life. They just big. You look like you can scrap.

[R. Truth]

I had a strap. I'm dark skinned, you know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

Got nothing to do with your complexion.

[R. Truth]

But we grew up having to fight.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[R. Truth]

You know what I'm saying? Like, I grew up having to fight, so yeah, yeah. I've been fighting since I was younger, but trained as well, too.

[DJ Envy]

Is that what got you into actually want to be a Professional wrestler.

[R. Truth]

Nah, man. What got me into it was a guy named Jack Crockett. I met him in the halfway house, okay? And I've always wanted to be this big rap star. This big, you know what I'm saying? I want to be the next MC Hammer. But, man, you from the Bay Area, not from North Carolina, Charlotte, okay? You know what I'm saying? So, bro, this is like a dream, man. Check it out. Meeting a guy named Jack Crocker in the halfway house, selling them cookies on the street, you know what I'm saying? Do my little thing, hustle for my dancers. I had dance groups. I didn't open up for Tracy Spencer, Chub, Rob Kwame, back in the days. You can dance, you get busy. I've been going to Jack the Rapper, you know what I'm saying? I still dance, still do my thing.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, so you're 60s, 70s, baby.

[R. Truth]

What you mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When was you born in 70s and 60s?

[R. Truth]

I was born in 70s, 70s, 72.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[R. Truth]

I got five kids.

[DJ Envy]

How many babies?

[R. Truth]

How many babies? Yeah, okay. But, yeah, so met Jack Crockett in a halfway house, you know what I'm saying? And this was like, I know how it feels to be somewhere. Like, I was 25, dog, and I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. Didn't want to play football no more. Too many injuries. But I wanted to live this rap dream. Met Jack Crockett, bro, for somewhat somebody to believe in me in a halfway house. He said, when you get out, I'm gonna give you a job. I thought, oh, you can come from this.

[DJ Envy]

Oh.

[R. Truth]

So I thought he wanted me to cut his grass or something, right? Yeah. But that was the first time I was introduced to professional wrestling. Took me to three WCW shows in Atlanta. And, bro, I was sitting there. He was a cameraman at this time. He said, I never gave back before. God told me to give back to you. So I'm like, okay, cool. So I'm sitting there watching Ric Flair music hit. First time at a wrestling show, you know what I'm saying, man? Ric Flair came down. Jack Crocker said, see, that could be you. How you was rapping and dancing and telling jokes in jail. And you either. You could be doing that. That, he said, and you could do the fighting, the splits you was doing. He said, you'll be able to have an audience.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[R. Truth]

You'll be able to invest in your own self and have to ask nobody else for nothing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

It wasn't too many black wrestlers back then, too. Especially. It was Like Junkyard. That was WWF or wcw.

[R. Truth]

Ron Simmons, Booker T. Steven Ray Booker.

[DJ Envy]

T. Or Harlem Heat. Yeah, absolutely.

[Just Hilarious]

When he told you that, did you believe that at the time?

[R. Truth]

No. No, I didn't. Just. I was. Again, this is life. We just grow and mature as we go, man. Like, you never stop. You never stop cussing this. You never stop learning, right?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[R. Truth]

And I turned him down for two years.

[Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[R. Truth]

And I actually went back out in the streets again. But I said, you know what? I remember I told my mom one time, I'm gonna sell drugs till they stop making it. She's like, nah, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You talking to your mother.

[DJ Envy]

Until they stopped making them.

[Just Hilarious]

Jesus.

[R. Truth]

That was.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I never wanted to stop selling.

[R. Truth]

That's who I needed.

[DJ Envy]

They was never gonna stop making drugs.

[R. Truth]

She said, you'll stop. That's all she said, you'll stop. But I grew up with my uncle doing it. My family, like, it's. I thought it was the thing to do to get where you wanted to be at, you know. You know how it is, though. So it's like, I remember going back and forth to jail, back for the way I'm like, you know, I ain't want no more. You know what I'm saying? They ain't got to stop making it, but I ain't gonna, you know what I'm saying? Partake no more. So I went to, like, you know what I'm saying? Stick them up, like.

[DJ Envy]

And it was like, they went for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

More crimes than the next crime.

[Just Hilarious]

I'm gonna crime it out.

[R. Truth]

I'm gonna cry. I was lost. I was. I was stuck in a. Not knowing what you want to do with your life the rest of your life. You done gave up scholarships to Georgia Tech, Clemson, Syracuse for football. You done. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do, man? So it was like I was stuck. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, man, you sure.

[DJ Envy]

You not the rapper baby from another multiverse?

[R. Truth]

Nah, man.

[DJ Envy]

It's the baby from another universe.

[R. Truth]

Hey, but Jazz, I turned him down for two years. And it was that last time I went to jail, and that's when I met Crockett. And it was like how the Bible say, faith of a mustard seed, or the ram in the bush. And all those little things made sense to me, man, because it was like I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[R. Truth]

And I was like, damn, I do something different, man. I'll do something. I'll do something. Crockett. Crockett told me he'd Give me a job. And it wasn't cutting grass. So I called Crockett up. He came and picked me up, took me back to the same restaurant again. He said, this won't cost you nothing. Time and dedication. I'm gonna pay for everything.

[Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[R. Truth]

So sometimes the universe got to give us these. These tools, resources, but we just got to apply them. Right. Man, it's crazy how, like, he took me to one school, and people's like, you know how name association helps you out in life? Oh, Crockett brought you in here? Oh, dog. Let me show you this. Oh, he brought in. Let me show you this, Let me show you that. Like, I had so many people showing me. From headlock takeovers to arm drags to wrist. You know what I'm saying? Top lobster, like, so it's like I just graduated. Met Manny Fernandez, a raging bull. He finished training me. He said, I'm gonna teach you how to take care of yourself in the ring. Ring and outside the ring. Psychologically, wrestling may involve so much stuff. Just like, I'm sure with your job, it involves a lot.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[R. Truth]

Mentally, people don't even know about it. Right. So Manny Fernandez got trained, ended up in NWA Wildside, Cornelia in Georgia, Bill Behrens. Rick Michael said, hey, man, you belong on tv, dog. Let me make a tape for you. I mean, his dad was the camera guys there. Think about it now. I'm doing this. I ain't in the streets no more. I'm making $5, $7. Sometimes we gotta pay the hot dog. Damn. That was like, on the Independence. I did Independence for four years, and.

[DJ Envy]

It was before nwa, wcw, before I.

[R. Truth]

Got on tv, before any of that. I did independent and that. Would you taste the blood? If you want to do this, you're gonna do it, like, going inside and nobody there. You know what I'm saying? Like, five, six people. You know what I'm saying? You had to build it. But I was doing something different. Different. I went a different route to get where I wanted to get to.

[DJ Envy]

You're staying out the street, too, man.

[R. Truth]

Mama was proud of me, man. My family was proud. You know what I'm saying? I was proud. And it just started, like, blossoming and growing and growing and growing, man, to where Rick Michael's dad said, I'm gonna make a tape for you. Made a tape for me. This is years ago now. You know what I'm saying? I'm 53. I turned 54 yesterday. So. Rick Michaels dad said, I'm gonna make you a tape. Just send it in made me a tape, sent it in. I got a call, and I was flying up to Stanford, to WWF back then, just off of that, within two weeks.

[Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[R. Truth]

You know what I'm saying? And it just started transpiring. I became the first black NWA champion, and that title was around for 53 years.

[DJ Envy]

I used to love that belt, man.

[R. Truth]

Did you, though? Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Cause, I mean, it just was the Big Gold Gym, but it was always synonymous with Ric Flair. To me, it never even looked right on nobody else.

[R. Truth]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

The only, you know, one other person that looked right on was Goldberg, but it was WCW by then.

[R. Truth]

Yes. Yes. So, man, I. And never again. You never stopped learning. I didn't realize how prestigious that title was, to be the first black NWA champion. Like, how younger blacks look at me. Or like, oh, I can do that now. I can. You know what I'm saying? So just living, living, living until where? Now I've excelled into, like, I think I'm more popular than I've ever been in my career.

[Just Hilarious]

Right now.

[R. Truth]

Right now.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[R. Truth]

Right now. And in the wrestling, that's kind of hard as what we call a pop. When you come out, when the lights hitting you, I still get one of the biggest pops. And it feels so everything I receive, I get reciprocated to me. Like a lot of fans tell me, bro, you make me feel. I remember watching you when I'm talking. I got signed in 98, so that's how long I've been wrestling. Wow. I've been allowed to continue to do this, still be reinventing myself each and every time with the Unreal, the Netflix deal, it. It allowed me to reinvent myself again. So life will give you these opportunities, these moments, but we just got to grab them.

[DJ Envy]

What would you say to people who think the Unreal series is revealing too much?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, y' all showing too much now.

[R. Truth]

You think so? Yes, man. It's about the same as know what. You know what I'm saying? You know the rabbits in the head, don't you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. People know wrestling not real. We just enjoy it for the entertainment.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But a lot of people do think wrestling is real.

[R. Truth]

That's the big Jesus envy. There's a lot of real aspects of wrestling that surrounded and weaved into it. A lot of things from the Unreal you're gonna see is real. Yeah, a lot of things ain't real. Wrestling is still that. We still give you that illusion. We still. A lot of people believe in these characters.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

I just like it because it's scripted entertainment that I enjoy.

[R. Truth]

You enjoy. I got a Cracked or Truth. I got a Ron Killer's character. I got a K Quip character. I got a Ron Cena character. John Cena's my older brother. You know what I'm saying? You know damn well, Jess.

[DJ Envy]

Come on.

[R. Truth]

But check it out, though. So it's like. I think a lot of people get attached to the character and see themselves living that life. Same as a movie, right?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

To the people that do say that, it reveals too much. What positive has come out of revealing those things that people normally don't reveal?

[R. Truth]

There's a lot of positives come out of it. You get to get a deep, deep inside look at what's. How the machine works. You know what I'm saying? A lot of us get to see the. The. The afterlife of what is created and the glorification of Snack. We don't get to see the sweat, blood, and tears and the. The drama, the dynamic, the diabolical that goes on. You never get to see all of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That or how difficult it is.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[R. Truth]

And you still have to execute and go do that. I don't care how you feel or how you look at it. You still got to participate if you're going to be in this game.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because you could write a plan up and you could write something up, but it doesn't necessarily all have to follow by plan because y' all jumping from the air, y' all throwing people left and right. I mean, it's. It's.

[R. Truth]

That's why. That's why they create that word called audibles. Right? We have to, man. Like, I'm sure with y', all, y' all get slid something on the spot. You got to be able to, like, boom. A lot of times we get told, hey, y' all got an extra four minutes. Y' all got an extra five minutes. Minutes. And we ain't got that designed in that match. Like, oh, so you got to, like, be able to, like, improv. Improv, yes. Right on the spot.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Have other people on the inside reached out to you like, yo, we happy that you kind of, like pulling the veil back a little bit.

[R. Truth]

A lot of people. A lot of people, like, oh, hit me up. Like, oh, I didn't know it was like that. Oh, I didn't know. You know what I'm saying? So it's. I think it's.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I mean, like, actual, like, fighters.

[R. Truth]

Fighters, yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, people on the inside that would typically want you to kind of keep some of that stuff to the chest because, you know, what you don't know is how you make your business? Like, have they been like, okay, we glad that you kind of putting some of this out there for people to see.

[R. Truth]

I kind of ain't even, like, I don't know. They have, they have. They haven't, like, said it like you said it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay.

[R. Truth]

I mean, I kind of like doing the I want to do kind of like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I have no problem with transparency. That's why I just told y' all I used to be in the streets. That's why I told y' all these things. So it's like, it's what we do with that transparency. It's what is how I, you know all about me. I watch how I move, watch my motion.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[R. Truth]

Watch how I make this pop. Make it happen. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I think it's appreciation and a respect in seeing that, knowing.

[DJ Envy]

That and watching it execute comedic timing, too. Like, did that come natural or was it. Was it learned over time?

[R. Truth]

Natural, okay. Natural, dog.

[Just Hilarious]

I can tell you just.

[R. Truth]

Yeah, yeah. Being dark skinned, you know what I'm saying? If you let it be, we all got superpower.

[DJ Envy]

So when they came at you with the jokes, you had to freaking.

[R. Truth]

I was ready for that ass.

[DJ Envy]

That's right. Yes, sir.

[R. Truth]

I was ready for that ass. You know what I'm saying? I dropped him in there.

[Just Hilarious]

That's how you was when you was younger, too.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, around the way. Yeah. Like, yeah. Be like, boy, you came to school naked. What?

[R. Truth]

No, I didn't do that.

[DJ Envy]

I ain't do that. You dressed in all black.

[R. Truth]

No, no, no, dog. No, like, you. What I'm saying, like, you can stand on your head and your hair still don't touch the ground.

[DJ Envy]

Stand on the head and your way.

[R. Truth]

You can stand on your head and your hair still won't touch the ground.

[Just Hilarious]

That's how bald you are.

[R. Truth]

I wanted to know, you ain't got no neck. You got to lean back to swallow. You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

Keep going, keep going, keep going. One more, one more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She like, she likes those on him. So I wanted to know, you know, you have a recognizable face now, right? You on wrestler. Has anybody that you stuck up ever came back to be like, bro, you know when, 2000, that was me that you stuck up.

[DJ Envy]

Nah, you robbed everybody in the dog.

[R. Truth]

But when I said it, he was like, oh, no, you ain't had to fight because of that. You know what I'm saying? The almost light skinned brother. You know what I'm Saying y' all always gave it to us, dog. But nah, man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Almost light skinned.

[R. Truth]

God bless. Never had that. And I used to keep covering my face up, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. He said I covered my face up.

[R. Truth]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I was smart.

[R. Truth]

Yeah. I wasn't dumb. Yeah, I was completely dumb. I was dumb for nothing. Not taking advantage of the opportunities I had to do and exploit my talent in the right way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the worst thing that ever happened to you in the ring? Like, that wasn't planned that.

[R. Truth]

She was like, the worst thing that ever happened to me. Got all these kicked out.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Just Hilarious]

Damn.

[R. Truth]

Yeah, it's real. Yeah, I kicked out Cesaro.

[DJ Envy]

Who was it?

[R. Truth]

Cesaro.

[Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[R. Truth]

Ah, yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Y' all talking about this ain't real.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I mean, people get really hurt. They definitely.

[R. Truth]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what happened in that instance and what's the conversation after, like, you kicked my mouth out about?

[R. Truth]

No, that's my dog, man. It was cool, man.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

I can go. Yeah. I can keep going. Keep going, keep going. I kind of like, I think when he kicked him and they have all. It was too cold on the side, so I just pushed him back down.

[DJ Envy]

Damn.

[R. Truth]

Yeah, but you gotta think your adrenaline going.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, my God.

[R. Truth]

We were in the midst of. You know what I'm saying? Like, the hyper stuff. Like you were when you walking out, you like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, can you keep going? And you're like, yeah, yeah.

[R. Truth]

[Lauren LaRosa]

How much longer did you have to keep going after that?

[R. Truth]

I think we had maybe like four minutes left.

[DJ Envy]

Was it on tv? Was it still alive?

[R. Truth]

Oh, yeah, it was live.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wow.

[Just Hilarious]

Jesus.

[Caller/Listener]

Wow.

Okay.

Yeah, they take care of us all right.

This is still a dangerous game you playing with your life. Like, you know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[R. Truth]

I haven't been injured, but knock on wood, I've lived a. And had a great career, man. Like.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[R. Truth]

You know, neck injuries, both shoulders, ribs, chest, stern hip, patellar tendon, quad.

[Just Hilarious]

[Just Hilarious]

School because you only walk like you saw. You don't walk like any of this happened. You walked ahead like you was ready to fight them, too.

My body health, my mobility, being able to move. That's why, like, you know what I'm saying? 54. I can still do backflips all. You know what I'm saying? So it's. Yeah, you got to stay tight with it, Right?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

There's only one person I ever thought could die in the ring thing, and that was goddamn Cactus Jack. Nick. Mick Foley.

[R. Truth]

That's my dog.

[DJ Envy]

His life on the line. He did right, man.

[R. Truth]

He did. But that's a dedication to the businessman. That was. That was. That was his lane, you know what I'm saying? If you got your lane running me, I got my lane, and it's. There's never been another R. True. There'd never be another Wrong Killings at all. You know what I'm saying? There's never been another Charlemagne, the Guard. There'll be another dj, there'll be another Jazz.

[Just Hilarious]

Nope.

[R. Truth]

We got our lanes, and we got down him. We driving that, right?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah. Have you been able to balance the life of a WWE Superstar, you know, as it pertains to, you know. Well, with being a husband and a father, too.

[R. Truth]

Oh, man.

[Just Hilarious]

How's that balance with that?

[R. Truth]

You have to do it. You have to balance it. You have to have willing participants, loving participants with my music career, you know what I'm saying? So it's like trying to balance all of it is just doing what needs to be done. Done. When I go home, I put that hat on. I'm a dad. I'm a husband, I'm a father. I still love My daughter's 11. She still sleep with my wife in the bed. I love that.

[Just Hilarious]

Love it.

[R. Truth]

Lazy. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I love taking my daughters to the bus stop and waiting at the bus stop with them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Best feeling ever, bro.

[R. Truth]

Man, come on. Going to their schools, man, and, like, eating lunch with them, and I like that. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I think we make time. We don't have so much time in the day, but we make time. For what we got got time for or what we want to put time in, you know what I'm saying? So you had to balance it.

[Just Hilarious]

Jeff, that's amazing.

[DJ Envy]

When you got released a couple of years ago, what was your. What was your immediate reaction emotionally and mentally?

[R. Truth]

Oh man. Where I was when I told y' all, I was that 25 year old kid not knowing what he wanted to do in life.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[R. Truth]

Not knowing what move to make, not knowing what steps. Is there a wrong step? Is there a right step like this? I was just in a tunnel. That's mentally and emotionally. Because when I found out I had just dropped my daughter off at dance and my son was behind me, I was in the garage smoking, you know what I'm saying? I mean sweeping.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[R. Truth]

Yeah. So yeah. So it was like, damn it. I don't know how if anybody know what it feels like to get fired or get like, you know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

Five, four times from radio.

[R. Truth]

Well, they said wasn't fire wasn't. So you know how it feels to get that call, right? Yeah. They called you too, right?

[DJ Envy]

Right. No, damn.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Wait, how you found out?

[Just Hilarious]

Came in, we got to interview you.

[DJ Envy]

After your last show. They call you in the office and be like, hey, we moving in another direction.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay. That's how I was in my last job.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay.

[R. Truth]

Wow.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[R. Truth]

Wow. You didn't get to say goodbye.

[DJ Envy]

No. Hell no.

[R. Truth]

Okay.

[Just Hilarious]

That's crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So.

[DJ Envy]

But AAA said you didn't really get fired.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I was about to exit.

[R. Truth]

Okay, let me ask you this. Then I got the call.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[Caller/Listener]

Right.

[R. Truth]

If I got my, my agent working on this end with their agent. I'm just, I, I put. Stay out of that.

[Caller/Listener]

Right.

[R. Truth]

Let them handle that thing. I get a call from this side saying we're not going to renew your contract or however it was. You're not going to. So do I come to work? It's Sunday, next Sunday when my contract with the end.

[Caller/Listener]

Right.

[R. Truth]

So do I come to work? No, don't come to work. Oh, okay. Am I done now? Yes. There was no flight, no calendar. What do you call that sounds like a firing. But I mean, but it's all. I don't know if it's all the same or if it's different. If it ain't. I mean, I guess I'm. I need attention to the creative. That what it felt like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Cuz he said that you were technically still, you were never not under contract with them. He also said that and he said.

[DJ Envy]

He said he never intended to fire you or push you out the hope was that by allowing the deal to expire without immediate renewal, it would prompt you to reopen dialogue.

[R. Truth]

That's why I said in the top, my agent and they. People was talking, and I was staying out of that. But I got called from this person that said, boom. So I wasn't. I wasn't even in the dialogue situation with the dialogue conversation, you know what I'm saying? This is my first time even having an agent handle my business. You know what I'm saying? I've always. For me telling you, from Georgia to NWA Wild side is now, I've always done my own business. This is my first time having to where I stayed out of dialogue. So that's the way I took it. It felt like a firing to me. And that's when I paused, took that moment. Couldn't really. I couldn't figure out how I felt.

[DJ Envy]

Did it feel sudden to you, or was it something you sensed might happen?

[R. Truth]

Nah, it was sudden. It was a negotiation, so I thought. So I was told it was a negotiation. So it was like, never for once did I feel bitter, jaded, or anger. I was just at loss for feelings, at loss for words, at loss for emotion. Wow. And I felt like out of the generations that I've. There's people that, like, four or five years old that know who I am. Yeah, there's people that's 90 that know who I am. So I've been wrestling for decades, you know, for, like, damn. I owe them a thank you.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[R. Truth]

I was on a ride when it was WWF to wwe. Like, I've. I've been doing things with WWE for years, since the 98s. I've been doing things with them overseas in the country, everything. I owe them a thanks for the ride.

[Just Hilarious]

Do you feel like along the way, like, somehow the conversation or the dialogue that you were out of was, like, misconstrued? Like, do you feel like maybe your agents had got it wrong or maybe it was something that wasn't told to you?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, they said it was about money.

[Caller/Listener]

Many.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That y' all couldn't come close in numbers. That's what Triple H said.

[R. Truth]

I don't know what it was all about. I'm just saying. And that's a good thing about unreal, you know what I'm saying? Like, nobody really knows what's what. Only thing we're doing is just. He said this, he said that. He said it like. Like, again, I was letting this handle this. I was letting that cook over there on the stove, and this right here started boiling and spilled out, you know what I'm saying? And I got burnt. So it was just like my main thing. My first thing to do was to show gratitude and appreciation to the longevity I've had. Like I told you, 54 and I.

[DJ Envy]

So when you look back on it now, how do you view that release? You look at it as an ending, a reset or just something else total.

[R. Truth]

Sending to a new beginning. The S on my chest lit up like sometimes we forget who we Are.

[Just Hilarious]

That's the word, you know what I'm saying?

[R. Truth]

And we get reminded, you know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

With that said, did it change how you define your identity beyond being our truth in the wwe?

[R. Truth]

Bingo. And it's being able to leave something back, leave something with the wwe. This is my last contract, but it's just like, you know how you're on that flight.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[R. Truth]

And like, get ready for descent. But the top, the wheels ain't come down yet. This is mine, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, man, it's the ending to a new beginning, you know what I'm saying? Like, now I get to give y' all this real, you know what I'm saying? In a sense. But we're going to have fun while you get it.

[DJ Envy]

Do you feel like your contributions to WWE have been fully realized or you still feel there's more of your story to tell?

[R. Truth]

Still more to tell.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[R. Truth]

A lot of known yet. A lot of stuff got to be told. A lot of stuff got to be shown. I think in this, with all due respect. You feel me? Just without due respect.

[Just Hilarious]

Can you tell us anything about the Royal Rumble coming up on January 3rd?

[R. Truth]

Saudi Arabia.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[R. Truth]

Yeah. Y' all haven't been to Saudi, right?

[Just Hilarious]

No, No, I haven't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

[DJ Envy]

They keep talking to me about going. They said, you gotta go, dog. They say they spending crazy money.

[Caller/Listener]

For real.

[DJ Envy]

I was in Dubai a few years ago, and this lady that was dead, I guess she represented the sports and entertainment over there. She was like child, man. We want to get you to Saudi Arabia. And Anthony Anderson had just came back and he was there, and they were saying it's hella money.

[R. Truth]

Damn.

[Just Hilarious]

[DJ Envy]

Right. Money good.

[R. Truth]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, man.

[R. Truth]

It's good, man. Not only that, man. Like, again, I've been with WWPS since what, 98. I've been going to Saudi since then. So it's like, man, Afghanistan, Turkey, Kuwait, I've been. Saudi was one of the first place man, like, to have to go to Saudi and have them singing my ring music Chairman. That's crazy. Yeah. There are sorry people that. Well, last time I've been to Saudi that buy my music and play my music when they come to the signing. That's like, so a whole different country, like. And it's our first Royal Rumble. We will have there.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[R. Truth]

First time ever happening there. And Saudi crowd, man, is like, they amp lit. They'd be lit now they'd be lit, and it's fun, man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everything. The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.

[DJ Envy]

Take me through that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Take me through there.

[DJ Envy]

Where is she going?

[R. Truth]

The latest with Laura.

[DJ Envy]

Take me through there on the Breakfast Club. LL Cool B, talk to me. I have a little T2.

[Mimi Brown]

What?

[DJ Envy]

Jess Laris is having stomach issues, and she's on the toilet doing the number two. Blowing it up, blowing it up, blowing it up. Going crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God.

[DJ Envy]

What you say?

[Lauren LaRosa]

How you know she want all these listeners to know that?

[R. Truth]

Walk body.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I see women running out of that bathroom.

[DJ Envy]

It's actually not t. That's espresso. Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, y'.

[Podcast Sponsor/Ad Voice]

All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Offset Cardi B, the divorce, it may actually be moving forward a little bit because according to new filings and reports, Offset has finally cleared a. A massive financial hurdle. So there have been reports in some documents that it surfaced of a $1.5 million tax debt. And we remember because we reported it here at the Breakfast Club, and Cardi B talked to us about kind of some of their issues that they were having. That. That one of the things that she says is stopping them from actually getting to the divorce point is the fact that she's being asked to pay for this alleged tax debt. But now it's cleared up. Let's take a listen to Cardi from back in September on X Spaces when she was venting about not wanting to pay for these taxes. Seven years that didn't have to last with somebody with.

[Mimi Brown]

That's the seven years in a marriage. Stop saying, oh, but you're still married.

[Caller/Listener]

No, I'm legally separated. Only reason why.

[Mimi Brown]

The only reason why I'm still married is because somebody wants me to pay for the taxes.

[Caller/Listener]

This the only Y. Y' all want another tea? The only way I could get out.

[Mimi Brown]

Of my marriage, if I pay for.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Somebody else's taxes, even though I pay for my own and give them one of my properties, I'm not. I'm fighting for that.

[DJ Envy]

I'mma fight for that. This is not no love and, like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Is that I'm not going to stop.

[Caller/Listener]

Living my life because on.

[Lauren LaRosa]

On a contract, I'm practically still married because somebody want to help me hostage if I don't give them millions of dollars to get out of it.

[Caller/Listener]

So that's what I'm going through in life.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So maybe now they can move forward. I mean, he's not totally in the clear. According to these docs, there's still a little over 700,000 DOL needs to be paid, but it's way less than $1.5 million.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, I'm just happy to see a brother, you know, knocking down some of his debt. All right. Salute to offset. Because so many of us know how good it feels when you get that financial monkey off your back. Lord.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And not only that, you can go to jail for it. So I'm glad he. I'm glad he was able to pay that off.

[DJ Envy]

You rarely hear those stories. You always hear about a person owing a bunch of money in taxes. You don't ever hear about a person actually paying them. So salute those Offset.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, let's assume, because if not, they'd be in jail. You. You got it. That's one people. That's one person you don't play with.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, you know, Earth. Yeah, leave Earth alone. Don't play with Earth at all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning, Earth.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning. Well, in other relationship drama. So David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, they're being dragged by their son, Brooklyn Beckham. Okay, so Brooklyn Beckham got online and he decided to break his silence on their family drama. So for the last, like, I would say, like a year or so, there's been issues within the family, but we couldn't really figure out what it was. So we would see little things online, like. Like his family thinks that the new wife is controlling him, or his family's upset because his new wife didn't wear Victoria Beckham's dress to her wedding or whatever the case may be. But he aired it out. So he claimed a bunch of things, including him saying that he felt like Victoria Beckham, who is his mom, danced with him very inappropriately at his wedding. She took over the first dance of the wedding to the point where he was so uncomfortable, they went and renewed their Vows to just, like, have a better memory of the moment. And none of the family showed up. They didn't pop out to David Beckham's birthday party. And he says that they're basically trying to like, make him get rid of his rights so that he isn't entitled to any of the family's money. So this has been like an ongoing thing. David Beckham didn't directly respond. He had sat down and did an interview where he talked about, like, social media and kids, but it wasn't a direct response to this actual situation. But now the people got some inside too, because this family always appears to seem like picture perfect.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I. I don't really care.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. Why are you only telling us about those white people?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because the people.

[DJ Envy]

David Beckham is almost a billionaire. He'll. Brooklyn, you'll be fine. Dance with me at the wedding.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Not if they.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, he's out the wheel. It sounds like he's out the.

[R. Truth]

Wh.

[Lauren LaRosa]

They trying to get him out of. Out of some of the. The money. Whatever. This, like, big payout is supposed to.

[DJ Envy]

Tell me again why I should care about these white people problems?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because I don't know. Listen, you don't have to care. You. Because I'm not going to convince you if you don't know why you should.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not going to convince you they're not a family. I dive into. It's not a family that I look thing.

[DJ Envy]

This is the thing with me. Forget me, me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Why do I care?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, why do you care?

[Lauren LaRosa]

So this is why you care. Because Victoria Beckham, supermodel, former Spice Girl David Beckham, not only are they physically like the perfect couple, but their family, they look. Because they look so. They look so good.

[DJ Envy]

Why?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because they physically. I know you don't understand. No, because they're just gorgeous people. It's just like a thing. But their family has always presented as like, picture perfect. And anytime something like this is shattered, people just care. It's the same thing like with Megan Markle and Prince Harry. People feel like it's that whole invasion of the family.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't care for them either.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You didn't care about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

[DJ Envy]

This is when I. This is when I'm reminded she used to work at Tamsie.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, this is when you're reminded that, like, I'm like 20 years younger than you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I guess I didn't care.

[DJ Envy]

David Beckham is 50 years old.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He's one of them good looking. 50 years. Yes. The people care, okay?

[DJ Envy]

White people care. The white People care.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Listen, y' all gonna see in the comments how many people actually care about the this. All right, now as we wrap, I do want to mention yesterday asap Rocky posted that his you gonna care about this one. It's that Rocky posted that his Don't Be Dumb tour. The Don't Be Dumb World tour is going to happen. Date started. So you don't care.

[DJ Envy]

Speaking of white people. Okay, ASAP was supposed to come up here yesterday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Twice.

[DJ Envy]

Well, yeah, he was supposed to come up here last week, but then he rescheduled and then he was supposed to come up here yesterday. Right. He's supposed to be at 9:30, but then they said he wasn't gonna be here till 12. 12, right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Y' all get out of here like nine.

[DJ Envy]

You can't wait around till 12.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No way.

[DJ Envy]

I'm like, I know ASAP ain't late for them white shows like that. I know he wasn't late for Fallon or SNL like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He can't be late for those shows.

[DJ Envy]

I don't think he was really scheduled to be here. I think that was like a mix up.

[Lauren LaRosa]

AI.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I don't think any of his people act cuz asap, he don't really move like that. So I don't think, I don't think he was producers in the room. I don't, I don't think that was his team, yo. I really don't.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What if he had a late night out the night before?

[DJ Envy]

No, I just don't think that was his business.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is profession.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

ASAP has been rappers since we've known asap. He's been a very professional person. I really don't think he was really scheduled to be here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I would hope not. And call us and be like, I'll.

[DJ Envy]

Be there at 12.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And this is a morning show.

[DJ Envy]

That don't even make sense. Yes. Yeah. Cuz once again, I know you wouldn't be late for those white shows, but I just don't think he was really scheduled to be here. That's what I think.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, the tour tickets going to sell January 27th. He'll be there. So.

[DJ Envy]

And I think I saw yesterday he was supposed to sell like 200,000.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Over 200,000.

[DJ Envy]

Congratulations day.

[Just Hilarious]

Cuz there was nobody even in there when I went in there. I made sure of that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, it was bad. You had to make sure nobody was in there.

[DJ Envy]

I knew. Sometimes when I walk in here and I'll be like, yo, be careful with the bathroom. Somebody in there blowing it up. I heard two women say that to each other. I'm just telling you. I'm just telling you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day today. Not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey. So if you ever feel I need.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To be a donkey man, hit it with the hero.

[DJ Envy]

It's a Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's donkey of the day today?

[DJ Envy]

Well, Ed Sharon, Donkey of the day for Wednesday, January 21, goes the former NBA player Lamar Odom. Now, if you haven't heard, Lamar Odom was arrested for DUI in Las Vegas on Saturday. Clark county records show that Lamar Odom, 46 years old, faces charges of DUI. First offender fence driving at more than 41 mph over the posted limit and improper lane change and failure to maintain driving lane. All three charges are listed as misdemeanors. Let's go to CBS8 for the report, please.

[Mimi Brown]

Former NBA player Lamar Odom allegedly drove more than 100 miles per hour right past a Nevada trooper early Saturday morning on the 15th. Now, according to documents obtained by 8News Now, a black SUV approached the trooper going really fast. The trooper says he pulled the car over after clocking it at over 100. Odom was placed under arrest after failing a field sobriety test. Now, he does face multiple charges, including DUI. Odom is scheduled to appear in CART.

[DJ Envy]

In court March 17. Do I have to remind you all that drinking and driving is one of the most selfish things you can do on the planet? Okay? In a world of Uber and Lyft, all types of ride shares, there's absolutely zero reasons reason to be driving drunk. And I'm gonna be honest with you. If we lived in a world where whenever somebody got behind the wheel drunk and the only person they could hurt by being drunk is themselves, I wouldn't give a damn, okay? I really wouldn't. If every time a person decided to drive drunk, we could guarantee the only person who would be hurt by the situation is them, I would not give a damn. But guess what? That's not reality, okay? When you drive drunk, you put everybody else on the highway at risk. And it's ridiculous, because in a of ride shares, there should never be a reason for you to drive intoxicated. And lamar Odom is 46 years old, okay? He should absolutely know better. And this isn't his first rodeo. And by rodeo, I mean dui. Okay? He's had those before. But I'm not just here to talk about his dui. I'm here to talk about what Lamar Odom told police after he got pulled over. See, according to the police report, Lamar Odom was in a black suv, and he approached the trooper from behind at a high rate of speed. The trooper estimated the car was going at around 90 mph before it passed the police car. Okay? The SUV then sped up to 106 mph, but the speed limit on the freeway is 65, so when cops put the signal on, the driver continued to swerve between lanes without signaling. All right? Seemingly unaware that the police car was behind them with the lights and sirens on. And then when the SUV finally did pull over and the trooper approached the vehicle, Lamar Odom identified himself. Okay? The trooper said he spelled weed. He saw bloodshot eyes. He asked Lamar why he was speeding. Lamar said he was on the phone with his manager and he was almost home. Then he told the trooper he was going to his friend's house. Couldn't say where the house was located. He said he was following gps. What makes this story even worse is that Lamar had a passenger with him. Okay? Both of y' all deserve the biggest he haw, because the only thing worse than an intoxicated driver is an intoxicated passenger with the driver. Because either you a yes man or you got a death wish, okay? Because if you wasn't a yes man, you'd be like, yo, we can't drive right now. All right, all right. One of the two. But let's get to the other layer of why Lamar Odom is getting donkey at day when he was talking to the police officer. This is according to the trooper. He asked the trooper, how was your night going besides me driving like I was in Back to the Future? Okay, Jess just had to run out again. That Mexican food is tearing her stomach up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sorry.

[DJ Envy]

We'll get back to that. But Lamar Odom asked the trooper, how was your night going besides me driving like I was in Back to the Future? And that struck. Struck me because that's exactly what Lamar Odom was attempting to do. We all know drugs and alcohol is an escape from whatever traumas one might be dealing with, but you can't run from yourself. But Lamar McFly on Saturday night tried to do just that. Lamar odom was doing 106 miles per hour in a 65 because he was trying to time travel. He wanted to go back to a time when things were all so simple. What moment was Lamar trying to go back to? When he won championships with the. With the Lakers in 2009 and 2010. That was the peak of his professional career. Great time. He won six man of the year in 2011. Okay. Everybody respected how versatile he was on the court. That would be a great moment to relive. Maybe he wanted to go back to when he played in 2010 for the Fever world championship. They won gold in that. That looked like fun. Okay, Maybe he wanted to go back and correct some wrongs. Okay. Stop himself from overdosing in 2015. Maybe he wanted to go back. Back to when him and Khloe Kardashian were one of the greatest front court duos in celebrity relationship history. I mean, Lamar was 6:10. Khloe Kardashian was 6, 8, 7, 1. In heels. Okay, you can't talk about some of the greatest front court duos of all time without mentioning them. You got Tim Duncan and David Robinson, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban.

[Just Hilarious]

Bam.

[DJ Envy]

And Asia Wilson. Okay, Chloe and Lamar are in that conversation. But, Lamar, let's listen to me. You don't have to do 106 miles per hour to go back to the future. Marty McFly only had to do 88 in that DeLorean. Okay? 88 miles per hour is what activated the flux capacitor and enabled time travel. And you. Lamar did not have a DeLorean with a flux capacitor and that. And that's why your SUV didn't burst into flames and take you back to whatever area you was trying to get to. The only thing driving 106mph with no DeLorean and no Flux capacity to get you is a DUI charge. And in extreme cases of funeral. Thank God Lamar, you didn't kill yourself or kill someone else and traveled to a dimension you physically can't return from. Please give Lamar Odom the sweet sound to the Hamiltons. And I know we was going to talk about something else, but I would like to call the audible because I really feel bad for Jess.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, we were going to do something that happened this morning, but yeah, I.

[DJ Envy]

Think we should call. There's nothing worse than like really, really having the poo at work. Now me, I'm regular. I go at 8:30. But the difference between me and just hilarious. I'm not in here dressed to the nines, okay? Just being here with all types of fly pieces on and jewelry she has to unsnap. That's what I'm saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Snap. She gotta unbuckle. Somebody could probably gotta help her out in the back.

[DJ Envy]

That's what I'm saying. And she's running out of here here because, you know, her husband is Mexican. The in laws are Mexican. Every now and then, the in laws cook. Her stomach still hasn't got a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Some breakfast this morning.

[DJ Envy]

That Mexican food empanada is tearing her ass up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Killing her.

[DJ Envy]

So I just. Is there. I just feel. Has this ever happened to you?

[R. Truth]

[DJ Envy]

And that was the second time this morning because she missed the last latest with Lauren because she was on the toilet now. She went, you know, to the bathroom on break. But I guess she was just having one of those moments. And I felt bad because when she came in here, she was describing and she was like, yo, you ever just be sitting there sweating? Which is crazy. I've never just been sitting there sweating at work, right? And I think the last time I had one of those sweaty pools had to be like 15, 20 years ago, man. You know, and then I had some bad Jamaican food one time. But you know, Jess in law is a Mexican, correct? And I guess they cook last night and her stomach still hasn't adjusted to Mexican food after all these years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not at all. I mean, like I said, go in hot, come out high. So right now she. She got spicy muddy butt right now. And just asking, 800-585-1051, has that ever happened to you?

[DJ Envy]

I don't want her to feel.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

One time at the old studio and I actually, not really didn't. I just shot at that time.

[DJ Envy]

But I remember that that's when you threw your underwear in the trash can.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I threw my underwear in the trash.

[DJ Envy]

And this guy found it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nobody found it.

[DJ Envy]

No, somebody did find it, I promise you. I remember this story so vividly because there was this whole thing because the guy was like. There was. He. He was actually concerned. He was just like. It was underwear and a trash can. It had blood and poo in it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There was no blood and poo.

[DJ Envy]

And then I was just, like, creeping up at that point. Point. I looked at my partner and I was just like, yo, I gotta go. And he looked at me and was like, where are you gonna go? I looked at the bathroom in somebody's house that was already on fire. It was all destroyed anyway. And I was just like, I might as well go in there. Took everything off, like, started stripping everything down, and it just, like, went down right there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Just Hilarious]

That's how I felt going to the bathroom. That's why I had to take my boots off.

[DJ Envy]

It happened to me one time. Columbia.

[Caller/Listener]

I'm clinching right now.

[DJ Envy]

Well, I hope you make it, brother. That happened to me one time. Columbia, South Carolina. They used to be a Jamaican restaurant. I'm not gonna say the name. Cause I don't know if it's still there. But I ate there the night before and I had some bad food. And I was dropping my wife back off at her dorm the next day. And boy, that's when that Jamaican food decided it wanted to come out. So I'm like, man, let me try to get home. And I got to the red light and I was like, man, if I just pass gas a little bit, it'll ease the tension. Boy, I pass gas that little bit. All I felt was that brown runny coming out my tummy, going down my leg. And at that point I was just like, effort. We had the point of no return. You let it all go. I just let it all go. And then all I thought to myself, myself was, man, if I pull up in my apartment complex, I hope my homegirl salute to Val. But Val was my neighbor. I said, I hope Val ain't sitting outside like she usually is. And thank God she wasn't. And I ran upstairs and I had on some. Some Aniche jeans, some black Aniche jeans. And I was like, I'm gonna take these to the cleanest.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Wow.

[DJ Envy]

And I took them to the cleanest and never went back to the cleaners. Cause I was so embarrassed the way the person looked when I put them on the counter. I was like, you know what? I'm never coming back to care of again. Good.

[Just Hilarious]

Because they never cleaned them. They threw them away.

[R. Truth]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

He's like, what's your name? I was like, ronald Jackson. My name is Ronald Jackson. Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo. All right. Well, when we come back, there's no.

[DJ Envy]

Moral of the story. There's no moral of the story. What's the moral of the story? When you're climbing up a ladder and you feel something splatter. Diarrhea. Diarrhea. When you go out trick or treating, Then you're wearing what you eating. Diarrhea. Diarrhea. When you're walking around Then your underwear turns brown. Diarrhea. Diarrhea. When you're sitting in a chair and you have an anal scared Diarrhea. Diarrhea. Anyway, you're climbing up the stairs and you stain your underwear. Diarrhea.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've never heard all those.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know where he got those from.

[Just Hilarious]

[Lauren LaRosa]

So yesterday, it's a Paris fashion week and or men's. And Pharrell debuted his Louis Vuitton Fall 2026 Men's Collection with a ton of stars popping out in support of him. Now the Runway was set in this, like, house that he built. It's like a house of Louis Vuitton. The invites included, like, LV slippers. And then the models walk around the house now in attendance. We had Kaisen that which we know is so fire for him. I saw another interview. He Did. It was very short. But he talked about being at his first fashion show within this fashion week, so this is a big experience for him. He got Vivek that he's dropping, and I've been seeing him, like, showing people his journal while he's there. Sza was in attendance. Chris Brown. I don't know why people act like they forget that Chris Brown is actually fine until he gets to fashion weekend, and it's like, oh, my God, Chris Brown is so fine. It happens every year.

[Just Hilarious]

He fine and in fashion.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Every year, they do this slow mo video of him, and it reminds me people and people were always like, what? It's like, how did y' all forget? But, yes, I also saw him and Miles Canton chatting, too, at the fashion show, so there may be some music there. Quavo was there and in attendance. And Pharrell does his thing on the runways. He did it within one of his last collections where he premiered the. The chains and whips from Pusha T and clips. Right. So he did that this year, and.

[DJ Envy]

He got slaves and whips clothes.

[Just Hilarious]

No, it's the song.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He breaks the music on the Runway.

[DJ Envy]

Slave couture.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He plays the song.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Pharrell breaks new music on the Runway. So yesterday, he broke a couple songs, including this new song with Quavo.

[Just Hilarious]

I like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I ain't gonna lie.

[DJ Envy]

I like it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's hard. It's hard.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's not out yet, but we'll be getting some more of it now. He also debuted a song with Pusha T and Jackson Wang, who's a member of a k pop group on the Runway as well. Let's take a listen to that. It's Pusha T. Don't sound like him, does it? I was saying the same thing. We were cutting. I'm like. I kept looking. I'm like, are we for sure? And it was like. Every article was like, no, this is the song. When I watched it, it's what they walked to as well.

[DJ Envy]

That's exactly why we don't want Pusha T rapping about nothing but dope.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, look, this is song that they have coming, I guess. He also premiered new music with John legend called pray for your baby. Usher was there as well. Future. I saw skepta as well, too.

[DJ Envy]

When they gonna have fashion shows for those of us who shop on Instagram? Like, nobody wants to see all that Louis Vuitton.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Stuff during fashion week.

[DJ Envy]

I got you when it's cool for Andy. Okay. Right? I'm seriously.

[Just Hilarious]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I want to See all that Louis Vuitton when girls prices, grocery prices are through the roof.

[Just Hilarious]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So maybe we should do that. Maybe we should do like a Alibaba Sheen fashion show and we can have.

[Just Hilarious]

It at the mall. You know you work at the mall thing at the mall. Yo, black businesses, remember?

[DJ Envy]

Is there a fashion show for afford. For things that people can actually afford?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, it's called fast fashion.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Beyonce's dad is talking about a big mistake he made when he listened to her song Daddy for the first time. Let's take a listen to. Matthew knows on the Daddy song.

[R. Truth]

When she did Daddy, that song Daddy, that she dedicated that entire song to you and talked about how you built a her up. Explain like the first time you heard that song and how it made you feel.

[DJ Envy]

The first time I heard that song, I made a major mistake as a father.

[Podcast Sponsor/Ad Voice]

I listened to it from a music.

[DJ Envy]

Executive perspective and that was a huge mistake. I soon realized listening to it the.

[Podcast Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Second time, tears fell.

[DJ Envy]

No, again, looking back, I realized that was a mistake. But when I listened to it from a father's perspective, it was like tears falling.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

And if you truly listen to that song, a lot of Jay Z is in that those words.

[R. Truth]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

She wanted to marry someone just like her father.

[R. Truth]

I'm a gangster.

[Caller/Listener]

Look, I believe you.

[DJ Envy]

Look, listen, we have a. Oh, is that an edit? He just randomly yell out.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm against the. In the interview, if he was being.

[DJ Envy]

Funny, he was as he was in that moment.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, it was like a. Like he just went.

[DJ Envy]

I want him to expound on that though. I wonder what he means when he said he was listening from a music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was looking at his daughter as a check. He was looking at that as a. As a music piece opposed to being. That's my daughter. She made this song for me.

[DJ Envy]

I should dive into it and say. She probably said like, listen to this record. And he just listened to it like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is not a single. This is not a hit. Let me.

[Just Hilarious]

Like, he. He ain't know if it was gonna Be a hit or not?

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was on Dangerously In Love.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was that before they. They divorced and broke up. Well, that was after they. They the Matthew telling your daughter.

[DJ Envy]

N. That ain't it. N. That ain't it. She was in the heart of our father. Somebody else. Imagine. Can you imagine? Can you imagine not even even, like, listening to the record?

[R. Truth]

Crazy.

[DJ Envy]

I think about that, though. When people make songs towards people, it's like, yo, it better be a slap. Don't make no mediocre record to me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]
